10. (Unit ed Press I The search for the body of Tom Slaughter, said to have been shot in the fastness of Saline coun ty late yesterday by J. C. Howard, a convict "pal" that left the prison with him, has proved fruitless. The authorities have been scouring the woods in the locality where Howard claims that he left the body of Slaughter and a dying negro but have failed to find any trace of either.

The negro- was Charles Johns. He was wounded in a battle with the pursuing officers near Vinton. Reports from officers coming in early today stated that no trace had been found of his body. Jack Buster and Willis Cannon, negroes, sentenced to die in the electric chair, are still at large. Howard claims that Slaughter forced him to leave the prison.

"He forced me to go with him," he stat ed. "I left a note for the warden stating that I would get Slaughter at the very first opportunity and then would return to the prison." The officers are expected back at the prison today with Howard, and three of th negroes who are reported to have been captured. The officials here early today stated that they were beginning to have some doubts of Howard story. He was serving a three-year sentence, having been sent up from Hot Springs on a forgery charge. He had been a "trusty" but had been recently reduced to the ranks for the violation of some of the prison rules.

(United Press) The power of Eamonn De Valera, president of the Irish Re public, is slowly ebbing as the Irish people are being mobilized for the battle for the ratification of the Anglo-Irish eace pact. Even in the most extremist circles it is being predicted today that the downfall of DeValera will come as the result of his opposition to the peace pact.

Michael Collins is' coming to the fore rapidly as the "Father of Irisn Freedom." A complete survey of ail shades of political opinion in Ireland brings out the fact that there is not mere than ten per tent tf tne entire population tnat is svm- pathetic attitude with the opposition of De Valera to the peace pact and he power of the former popular Irish hero appears to have been lest, As De Valera's star wanes the power of Michael Collins, "the Gray Man of the Seinn Fein," is rapidly rising. Collins stems to D2 gaining all the power that De Valera is losing. He is now being proclaimed as a national hero. Great crowd follow him when he appears 'ipon the streets and there is a group of peo ple in front of his residence at all times anxious to get a glimpse 'jt thej famous Seinn Fein leader. Collins is looked upon as the; "Father of Ireland" and in all po-; litical circles a realization of his i power is becoming apparent.

His swinging the two cabinet member Barton and Cosgrove to the rat-; ification of the Anglo-Irish agreement, thus giving it a majority of one in the cabinet, is regarded as a master political stroke. He is ibout the only politician that is extremely popular today in Ireland. MOURNERS ARE ATTACKED BY MANIAC THREE MEN IN NEW ORLEANS FORCED TO BATTLE FOR LIVES IN DARKENED ROOM NEW ORLEANS, Dec 10.
