MacSwinoy spent a restful night, and his sister remained near llrix ton Prison, where he Is confined, throughout the night, thinking she might be called for. An official who saw MacSwlncy early described his condition as be ing like that of a "man on a pre cipice," adding that "the slightest breeze might blow lilra over at any time" By the Associated Press Belfast, Aug. 31. Nine persons are dead as a result of yesterday's rioting In this city, another man being killed last night and two of thoe wounded In yesterday's disorders dying. Revised reports as to cnsualtic show that since the rioting began last Wedues,day twenty have been killed. Knots of soldiers held strategic points In the affected areas during the night, and it was stated this morning that troops occupy virtually all the police barracks in the city. Never In the history of Belfast was there such dis-rders as prevailed yes terday. Mobs fought with wild fury in different sections of the town, women mingling with the men In the melees that developtd wherever the opposing factions met. Girl workers fought like -wildcats In one clash yesterday, parties attacking each other as they were going to work. Unionist women charged on a number of Nationalist girls in Cork street, while Nationalists made an at tack on Unionists in the Fills road dis trict. Tho city was placed under the curfew ordinance last night and there were rumors that martial law would be de clared, but nothing definite was done by the'authorlties. Ominous signs of further trouble iishered in the new day in riot-torn Belfast. The only actual outbreak re ported early this forenoon was the toning of employe of Mackie's foundry In the notorious Kashmir road district, but groups of men collected at many corners along Falls road, King street and Royal avenue, giving unmistakable Indications that trouble might come. Belfast s tea hour lost evening pave pause to the combatants, bit they soon got under way again, though on n ' small scale cale.

He was knocked down and savagely kicked and beaten nnd his revolver wns wrenched away from him. It is believed that all five of the per sons killed in the York street fighting yesterday were victims of civilian shooting. Four of them were onlj nineteen years old. There has been talk of the application of martial law, but it is believed that the chances for this arc remote. The Shonkhill district of Belfast late last night wns a blazing inferno. Nearly a score of fires had been started and virtually all tho grocery stores and public houses owned by Catholics In the district were being destroyed.

This makes a drop of eighteen cents a pound below the highest prices reached during the early summer.

Contlnnrd from Fate "no today also wan that T6omey nnd ac companied gamblers on several trips to Atlantic City to engage in bis crap games. Ono gambler boasted that Toomcy "was the easiest thing in tho world to shift tho dlco on." Toomcy has no children. Ho and, his wife havo just returned from a two weeks' Vacation at Lake Champlain and Lako George. Lived Unpretentiously Neighbors of the Toomcy whoso homo is nt 120 South Fiftieth street, say the couplo always lived unpreten tiously. Tbey kept neither maid nor au tomobile Whenever one went out tho other went along. Tbey seemed do voted to each othor, and Toomcy n model husband and honest man, tho neighbors declare. Their home is a modest, two -story dwelling, in n good but not showy neighborhood. It Is entirely in keening with tho salary of about $5000, which Tooinoy was, paid as assistant secre tary. Tooraey recently displayed a largo roll of moneyi according to Philip Ian nota, a barber near Fifty -second nnd Sansom streets, in whoso' place Toomey was arrested, and said ho had just sold a house. "That was the only time," said tho barber, "that I ever saw him display any large sum of money. I always un derstood ho was a great friend of Sam Wheeler, tho brother of Judge Wheeler, and now in jail, and I had tho im pression that he was in some way as sociated with Mr. Wheeler in business." The barber snid that In eight oMhe ten years ho had known Toomcy tho bank official hod dressed very modestly. In the last two years, however, Iannota said, Toomcy had worn clothes of moro expensive material and cut. "Toomcy shaved himself," said tho barber, "but every two weeks he would come in and get a shave, massage and haircut. Ho always tipped a quarter. Arrest Was Relief The barber said that LcSt range had entered the shop yesterday, just after Toomey hod sat in tho chair and it was being tilted back. The dctectivo called Toomcy over, and ordered him to put on his hat and coat. Tooraey turned white, the barber said, but obeyed without a word nnd went away with thc detective. Toomey told tho detective, according to Lo Strange, that he had expected ar rest and was glad to havo the suspense at an end. The detective and his prisoner im mediately went to tho trust company's offices at 325 Chestnut street. Here Tooraey was confronted by tho presi dent, Mr. Qcst, nnd other officials. Toomey drew n. sheet of foolscap from his inside pocket. "Here's tho whole thing," he said ns ho handed it to Mr. Gest.- It proved to be a true transcription, the officials say, of all his alleged peculations. The officials say that the paper showed the first of tho alleged thefts from tho bank to have been In 1010, and the amount $1000. There wero no further "entries," it was said, for about a year. The largest amount taken, it wns said thc account showed, was S15.000. Toomey is said to have told the po lice that he tad taken thc 'money to "play thc races," expecting nlways to bo able to make a big "killing" and return nil he bad stolen, and then "go square." He was accustomed to bet on races, it was said, in local bookmak ers' rooms and at Havre dc Grace and Saratoga. Once Won $15,000 ne was asked, according to the po lice; whether ho ever had won much money, and is said to havo replied that ho "cleaned up" $15,000 on one occa sion, but soon lost it all ngain. By all accounts Toomcy wns a natural-born loser, according to the police. He told them, they say, that he rarely won. Mr. Gest was reported to be out of town today. It was stated at the bank that the arrest of Toomcy had been discussed at a directors' meeting yes terday, but that no decision had been reached. It had not been decided whether pros ecution of Toomey should be pushed, It was said at tho bank. His long years of service, dating back almost to his boyhood, might, it wns said, weigh in his favor toward leniency. Tho Fidelity Trust Co. is ono of the oldest in the city. Toomey's alleged defalcation will not affect it in nny way, as the officers say the bank holds in demnity bonds to cover practically tie entire amount. Toomey wns well liked and thoroughly trusted. He had ad vanced from an humblo position to the assistant secretaryship. Discovered Last Week Toomey's position gavo him practi cally sole access to tho books of a big trust estate. It Is said that he made n practice of transferring largo sums from this estate to n private account which he had opened for himself in the bank under a fictitious name. Check ing out from this account did not excite suspicion. The first inkling that anything was wrong with Toomey's accounts came, it is said, only last Friday. He had gone off on his 'vacation, and it was neces sary to mnke an entry into tho ac counts of the estate. Another employe was sent to mako this notation, and In doing so saw something which aroused his suspicion. Ho reported to his superiors, and tho books were gone over, with tho result that it was de cided to causo Toomey's arrest. Tho charges against Toomey recall the notorious Williamson case of u little more than thrco years ago. Jesse Williamson, 2d, secretary of the Pennsylvania Company for Insur ances on Lives nnd Grunting Annui ties, was convicted of embezzling $700,000 from bis company, nnd was sentenced from eight to twenty-four years, lie was also fined a thousand dollnrs.

CftwrUhL 19S0. by Mis rubllo Ledter Co. ' Paris, Aug. 31. Colonel C. jf. House yesterday made a statement for the Pum.10 Ledger foreign service, ex cerpts from which follow: "Seldom in history has a change come in nn international situation to swiftly as that brought by tho victory of tho Poles over tho Russians. "Three weeks ago there lowered over eastern Europe a feeling of depression uncqualed since the darkest days of the war. Poland was all but submerged by tho Red tido, and Germany was ap parently waiting to welcome it. Labof in nearly every country from whlctt Poland might expect help had given notlco thnt no help should bo forth coming. It was increasingly diflicult to move munitions by cither land or sen, and each attempt brought protests from labor nnd threats of a general strike. "Worse still, there was no agreemenB among the Allies as to policy. Great Britain and Franco were in complete discord and tho world for the momenli hung in the balance. "Then came word that the tlrl w turning nnd that thero was great hope . ui u BiuuBuiufe; victory. "It would also be well to realize that Bolshevist Russia is not yet finished. It has merely had a momentary set back. If their defeat fails to overthrow Lcnine and Trotzky and the council which is the real governing power, then other armies will be formed ond ths conflict will bo renewed." Moscow Mistrusts 'Its Generals London, Aug. 31. An official report received here yesterday, Carl W. Ack ermun cables, is that there is a feel ing in Moscow that Russian general, In tho recent drive against Poland, failed to keep Moscow fully advised of developments nt thc front. It is said that Moscow is now making investiga tion to dctermlno whether generals leading the Soviet armies were really plotting against the Soviet Govern ment by misleading thc troops. Amazed at Harding's Plans London, Aug. 31. Ellhu Root left last night for The Ilaque to attend fur ther conferences with international jurists who recently formulated plans for nn international court of justice. Senator Root declined to comment upon the Harding speech and will probably not make any comments for publication upon his return to America. He plans to return to London thc latter part of this week before sailing for New York on September 15. Senator Harding's speech caused con siderable surprise In league circles, and it was the subject of discussion through out London today following tho up pcaranco of long reports in yesterduy's newspapers. The surprise was due to Senator Harding's statement that he proposed tho formation of on a"oeia Hon of nations around Mr. Root's in ternational court, while Mr. Root, as a matter of fact, has been acting on the international jurists' commission as a representative of the league.
