This meeting was held pursuant to a call Issued by the national executive committee of the British labor party on Dec. 13 to consider: First, Ireland; second, unemployment.

This Assembly would be given powers to work out an Irish constitution, bJ* It would be subject to conditions protecting Irish minorities and also to limitations to prevent Ireland from menacing England in a naval or military way. Other resolutions demanded punishment of soldiers and policemen guilty of reprisals and the immediate withdrawal of British troops, putting responsibility for the maintenance of order upon the shoulders of the local authorities.

JUDGE SAYS DRY LAW AIDS POLICE Declares Officers Handle More Normal Violations. Declaring that the elimination of the saloon has enabled the police of the city to devote more time to handling moral violations. Judge Frank Lahr of the Jf£ venile Court discussed the effect of prohibition upon the home , in an address yesterday before the American Club at the Hotel Lincoln. The Judge stated that cases of moral violations In the Juvenile Court are on an increase ber-use prohibition has pract'cally wiped out intoxication cases and leaving the police women time to prosecute offenders of moral laws. In discussing Illicit traffic In liquor, Judge Lahr said: “The average man can not afford to pay the price demanded for illicit liquor. This condition also applies to the younger man, who Is unable to pay the present price. Also, the abolishment of saloons, where formerly these men and boys might loaf and buy drinks, has removed practically the only source of liquor for these classes. 'The. average middle class man and young man docs not patronize the bootlegger.” The court claims that prohibition has. resulted in a decrease in domestic troubles in homes where the trouble originated from drunkenness. ACCIDENT SHOT THOUGHTFATAL Walter Helfenberger, 13, Suffering 15 Bullets in Head. Doubt as to the recovery of Walter Helfenberger, 13, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Helfenberger, who was shot Tuesday while hunting on his father’s farm near West Newton with a number of companions, was expressed today at the Deaconess hospital, where he was taken following the accident. The boy's condition was described as “very ous."An X-ray photograph taken at the hospital showed that fifteen shots had penetrated the boy’s skull. Accounts of the accident indicate Helfenberger was shot by a companion named Edward Coleman. The party had traced a rabbit to a hole, where, while Coleman was holding the gun, It was discharged and the charge struck the Helfenbefger boy.

TRAINMEN DID NOT WISH TO BE LATE Ejected Passengers Suffer Delay and Discomfort. Failure of the officials of the Union Traction Company of Indiana to look after the comfort of their passengers Instead of welfare of their employes was responsible for the ejection of a number of travelers from an Indianapolis bound inrerurban at Bluffton last Wednesday night, according to evidence submitted at the hearing Tuesday before the Public Service Commission. Testimony of officials was that a wreck bnd occurred near Muncle, where the traction line crosses the Lake Erie & Western Railroad tracks. It was learned, however, that the wreckage had been cleared away before the time the passengers were ejected from the car. The car from Ft. Wayne to Indianapolis is in charge of a crew from Ft. Wayne, r.s far as Bluffton, where it Is turned over to a crew from the Union Traction Company. The Ft. Wayne men told the commission that for them to bring the car on to meet the other crew would have resulted in their getting home late. Train dispatchers were “too busy” to tr've any explanation of the delay In Bluffton, according to the company officials. The commission will reach a decision in the matter soon, according to E. I. Lewis, chairman.— CONSTABLE HELD BY GRAND JURY Hendricks County Officer Indicted on Gaming Charges. Special to The Times.
