NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, UES DAY, MAY 21, 1918. SENSATIONAL CALM EXISTS IN DUBLIN A (Continued From First Page). Some doubt exists as to whether these disclosures will be made in Lon- don or Washington. Officials here to- day were inclined to beliove that they would come from the British govern- ment. rlondon, 3 'a Gore Booth, ister of Countess Markievicz who was arrested in Dublin last week, in- fcrms the Daily Expre that she saw the countess arrive in London on Sunday. Countess Markieviez, says, was taken to Holloway p wghere she remains. No one* is per- ted to t her. A total absence of Dublin is reported in all dispatches to the morning newspapers from there and as far as known there have been no untoward incident in con- nection with the Sinn Fein arrests anywhere in the country. There are Mo outward indications that anything has happened or is ahout to happen outside Ireland’'s ordivary daily rou- tine. The Whitmonday holiday passed in the customary manner. The horse racing at Balldoyle and other sport- ing events were attended by the nsual active crowd. The seaside re- sorts were crowded as were the golf courses. One of the correspondents of the Daily Mail says the calm is sens tional and the people appear to be unperturbed by the recent dramatic developments. He adds: “But ap- pearances are deceptiv Dublin is not Ireland. The Constitutional Na- tionalists one generally meets here are not representative of the wild hoodlums who have given strength to the Sinn Fein. The whole country i% steggered by the suddenness of the government’s action and the people hesitate to commit themselves to any opinion until the evidence against those under arrest is produced.” excitement in Deportations Denounced. Dublin, May 21.—A resolution de- nouncing the Sinn Fein deportations as an attempt to discredit and dis- rupt Ireland’'s united resistance to conscription and to prejudice Ire- lend's cause in the eyes of friendly countries was passed by the Anti- Conscription conference which met at Mansion house Monday. An official statement signed among others by John Dillon and Joseph Devlin, the Irish Nationalist leaders, was issued after the meeting. It in- sists on the right of Irishmen to be arraigned in their own country and @dclares that an attempt was being made to poison the mind of the Eng- lish people against the prisoners. The statement concludes: “While standing steadfast on our good rights we shall never cease to appeal to all friends of human free- ] om or to inquire for ourselves Whether the present attempt to force civil war on the Irish people by & transparently false pretext of mili- tary expediency does not really cover a wicked plot of English politicians tc relieve themselves from their broken pledge to Ireland.” In addition to Messrs. Dillon and Devlin those who signed the protest were William O’Brien and Tim Healy, Yepresenting the O'Brienite party; John MacNeill and Alderman Kelley, representing the Sinn Feiners in the place of De Valera and Arthur Grif- fith, and Messrs. Johnston, Egan and O'Brien representing the labor party. The text of the protest follows “A conference speaking on behalf of every section of the Irish nation condemns the deportations to Eng- land of our colleagues, Prof. De Va- lera and Arthur Griffith, and their Tlow prisoners. We charge it as an attempt to discredit and disrupt Ire- Jand’'s united resistance to conscrip- ticn and this on a charge or allega- tion calculated to make a fair trial jmpossible for them in England and to prejudice the cause of the Irish na- tion in friendly countries abroad. “We assert the ancient constitu- nal right of Irishmen to be ar- raigned in their own country and iried by their own countrymen. We charge denial of this right is viola- tion of the first principles of justice mnd liberty for the defense of which ¥ngland claims to be a member of ar alliance of democratic nations. “We deplore the attempt in the proclamation of Field Marshal French to poison the English mind against the Irish prisoners by a sen- sational allegation of a ‘conspiracy Ireland to enter into treasonable cemmunication with the German en- emy.’ When Lord French calls on the Irish people to assist the govern- ment in every way to crush this con- spiracy all nationalists must recall the habit of the British government t> blacken and assall Irish leaders in order to effect their own objects and their aims. Such accusations were made against Parnell by means of a forged letter published on the day when the perpetual coercion act for Ireland was passed through its sec- ond reading in 1887 and this forgery was availed of by the important aembers of the ministry to justify such legislation to the world. “Circumstances at the present moment are trying but we are strong In the confidence that our country- men will continue to observe unper- turbed calmess coupled with an un- shakeable determination to be faith- | ful at all hazards to the sacred pledge | ¢f national resistance to conscription which virtually the entire nation has now taken. “While standing steadfastly on our own god right we shall not cease to ! appeal to all friends of human frec- | dom throughout the convulsed world | and to inquire for ourselves whether | the present attempt to force war on the Irish people by a parent and false pretext of 3 expediency does not really cover a icked plot of English politicians to rélieve themselyes from their broken pledges to Ireland, in view of their profession that they have entered the world war with' the object of secur- 1% SERBIAN RECRUITS SLAVS FOR SALONIKI Lieut.

Humorous remarks were silenced by sounds of “Sh, sh, let the mavor speak.” Curious as to what wculd be said the students grew quiet but ready to cheer the first word wildly.

INVESTIGATING FIRE Jobn Pinches & Sons Factory Entered Eu-. Two Successive Nights and Police Try to Connect Events, The police are striving to establish whether there is any connection be- tween the entry of the John Pinches & Sons wood turning factory Satur- day and Sunday nights and the fire that totally destroyed the H. H. Cor- Dbin & Son’s box factory on Church street, almost across a roadway from the Pinches plant, yesterday morn- ing. A representative of the Pinches company notified the police last eve- ning that the appearance of their office the past two mornings indicated that it had been entered. Papers and books were tossed ahout and a win- dow was found open. So far as could be learned there was no upsetting of things in the office at the Corbin fac- tory. Chief Engineer Rohert M, Dame of the fire department has reported to the local police department that the fire at the Corbin factory was of sus- pleious origin and Detective Sergeants Richardson an investigation. Chief Dame make a report to the state fire mar- shall as required under the state sta- tutes. This may bring about an in- vestigation by the state police de- partment.

The bluecoats seized the offender and the officers started down towards headquarters. A tall student then turned and hoarsely shouted, ‘“Don’t let the cops get him. Fight 'em.” Policemen Fire Into Air. A howl went up, and near Elm and Coliege streets those behind pushed those in front on to the policemen, who turned and took those whom they thought were attacking them. But the students showed fight, and some of them drew rtevolvers and fired into the air, upon which the policemen drew their guns, and for a moment red flashes flamed up under the dark shade of the elms on the upper green. Clubs had to be used, and finally the students realized that five New Haven ‘“‘cops’” are a hard proposition for Yale freshmen to tackle. Near the central precinct on court street the senseless ones in the now angry crowd, yelled to the others to | fight the policemen and surround the station to prevent the policemen from taking in the two who had been ar- rested. Some saner minds pressed them back and reminded them of the trouble and disgrace they were caus- ing, but they pressed on and again a scrap ensued in front of the station steps. The two arrested students, sad ap- paritions in their uniforms, were hustled up the steps and the crowd was about to surge after them in an effort to prevent their being locked up. They were prevented by the station force and stood outside, later attack- ing some policemen, and again two or three were pulled in, and some of them, with shirts torn off, were shoved through the steel duor that leads to the cells. “Back to the campus” vhile others yelled “Rush station” and attempted to sway the crowd. TFinally a Mr. Llewellyn per- suaded them to lJeave, telling that the men taken would be released if they went. Slowly they moved to- ward the college buildings and Desk Sergeant Stephen McGann was just relaxing in his chair at the desk of the headquarter# precinct when a man rushed in out of breath and red of face and shouted: “‘Sergeant, send some of your men to the center of the green, they've got some of the policemen.” Sergeant McGann calmly told his men to go out and disperse them. The patrolmen ran to Temple street, in front of the Center church, and there the crowd had stopped and attacked the ‘‘cops.” As the students saw the reserve pa- then some ! trolmen appear they rushed them but | then the click of revolver {riggers drawn was heard, and the crowd scat- | tered from the immediate vicinity of hens when appears in the the bluecoats like shadow of a hawlk barnyard, some ducking behind the bandstand. Again the policemen made arrests and the students, though yell- ing and still full of pep, realized that New Haven policemen are not to he with, retreated up to the campus. Though some of them took the thing seriously afterwards and regretted having taken part in the affair, the majority considered it a huge joke, a comeback of “Town and Gown” times, and good fun. Those arrested are not the ringleaders, according to the stu- dents lho\nse]\" s, but merely those who happened to be nearest the police- men when others pushed them on. Mitchell, who stood near the mayor, laughed when the mayor spoke of New Haven men dying in France, main- tains that he did not do so out of malice. the Mayor’s Statement. The mayor s wrought up over what he tenmed the disgraceful conduct of the Yale men. “I am absolutely surprised at the whole thing. 1 can't find out what caused it,” he said, “but the actions of the Yale men were a disgrace to the uniform of the United State which they wore, the university which they attend, and the citv of New Ha- ven, which they slandered by their actions. The rioters not only jeopar- dized the lives of the people in the trolley cars when they attempted to put the benches on the tracks, but they placed the lives of persons in au- tomobiles in danger.

According to Mavor Fitzgerald. Mitchell admitted to him in the police station that there was no malice in his actions. CITY ITEMS Michael Gilman home from Camp Devens on a short furlough.

Following severa complaints made to Building Inspector Arthur N.

Inspector tion to the Rutherford calls atten- ty ordinance which pro- hibits overcrowding of public build- ings and lays especial emphasis on the fact that it is a violation of the ordi- nance not only to permit too many to stand in the rear, exits, but also to permit chairs to be placed in the aisles. It is especially this latter practice that is dangerou in an emergency the aisles would blocked., Inspector Rutherford of the meetings where these violations have been re- ported have been patriotic ones and since it has not heen the act of an over-zealous or greedy financial man- ‘ager, he feels certain the ordinances "will be observed more strictly from now on. 0 In case further complaints of this nature are received and are found to be true, prosecutions will follow. as be CLAIM FIRST HONORS.
