News of the World By Associated Press RETRIBUTION FOLLOWING SHOOTING OF ULSTER PARLIAMENT MAN Cold Blooded Murder Takes Place In Belfast Seven Shots Fired Into Twaddle’s Body British Govt. Invites Signa- tories to Peace Pact to Discuss Agreement Sign- ed Saturday. Belfast, May 22.—(By the Associat- ed Press)—The killing this morning of W. J. Twaddle, a member of the Ulster parliament, who was shot while on his way to business, caused thy issuance of a manifesto by Sir James Craig, the premier announcing a special meeting of the cabinet and declared “just retribution was de- manded.” Cold Blooded Murder Mr. Twaddle, passing through Gar- fleld street was nearing his place of business on North street when two men approached and fired seven shots at him from a range of two yards, all the bullets taking effect. He collapsed immediately and the assassins fled. Mr. Twaddle is the first member of parliament to be attacked in the his- tory of Belfast's disorders. Craig’s Manifesto The premier in his manifesto said: “My detestation of this horrible erime fills me with such indignation that I have summoned a special meet- | ing of the cabinet and al the author- {ties dealing with law and order. Such an event as this murder demands just retribution. Numerous Disorders. The most disquieting feature of Sunday’s disorders in Belfast was the shifting of the center of trouble to Ballmacarrett, the east end section, where there is a large artisan popu- lation and a small compact Sinn Fein community living in an area called the Short Strand. .Two men were killed in the violent rioting there and Thomas McShane who was ~“woétnded Saturday died, bringing the total of deaths over the week-end to fourteen. During last night's shooting, gun- men opened fire on the city electric station but the return fire from police and troops caused the assailants to withdraw. The flying column responsible for Saturday's raills in Counties Antrim and Down vanished as quickly as it came but a renewal of its operations is anticipated. Cabinet Is Silent. The Ulster cabinet has given no sign of what measures it contem- plates to suppress the disorders but it 18 assumed nothing will be done before tomorrow's meeting of the northern parliament when Premier Sir James Craig will outline his plans. These, if they fulfill the expectations in many quarters, are likely to in- volve a rupture with the Dublin gov- ernment. Premier Craig refused to give an intimation of the proposals in advance.

(By Associated Press)—The DBritish government has invited the Irish signatories to the Anglo-Trish treaty to come to L.ondon and discuss with the British signa- tories the agreement signed Saturday between represenfatives of the provi- sional government and followers of Eamon De Valera, it was announced in the house of commons this after- noen by Winston Churchill, secretary for the colonies. Finds Objections This agreement he thought, raised gerious issues affecting the character and validity of the election contem- plated in the Irish Free State as well as the treaty itself. He hoped the con- ference would occur by the end of the present week. Alluding to the accounts in th newspapers of the outrages by te publicans in various parts of the six counties of Ulster and the disorder® in sections of Belfast, Mr Churchill said the British government had every confidence that the northern palia- ment would continue to grasp with the serious task of restoring order and maintaining it. Troops Arrive in Time Mr. Churchill sald four additional battalions had janded in Belfast at an opportune moment Saturday raising the strength of the imperial forces to 19 battalions.

Three men believed by police to be ‘‘labor wreck- ers,” attacked the officer, who suffered a fractured ankle, spinal and possible internal injuries. The policeman saw three men enter the bulilding.

After a conference this afternoon with Mayor A. M. Paonessa and Corporationy Counsel John H. Kirk- ham, Collector Bernadotte Loomis agreed to assure the duties of per- sonal tax collector without additional remuneration for his work, it being understood that any additional ex- penses incurred, would be borne by the city. His acceptance brings to an end the controversy over personal tax collec- tions that started Saturday when Mayor Paonessa announced the resig- nation of J. Willie Mills and the ap- pointment of Mr. Loomis without ex- | * tra pay. Mr. Loomis issued a state- ment at once in which he said that he had never agreed to handle the job without extra pay, and asserted that he would require the city to pay him $300 a year in addition to his present $3,000 salary, and allow him $1,000 for extra clerical help. Mayor Paonessa said he was astounded by the announcement, he having under- stood that the collector was perfect- ly agreeable to the change. Talks Over Situation Mr. Loomis's. attitude was un- changed today. Since more than a score of prospective taxpayers were turned away today for want of per- sonal tax collector, the mayor called Mr. Loomis into his office and in the presence of newspapermen talked over the situation. The mayor's inquiry as to what Mr. Loomis proposed ta do brought an answer that his original proposition, that for a $300 salary and additional clerk, was still considered by him to be fair. Mayor Paonessa expreased himself as of another belief. A leng- thy discussion followed in which the Themayor's inquiry as to what Mr. mayor insisted that he had received the collectors word that he would handl ethe job without extra compen- sation, while the collector was equal- ly as insistant that he did not. Charges Politics As the discussion became warmer, the mayor addressed the following statement to the collector:— “Bert, this is nothing more than a G. A. R, WOULD REBUKE Commander S. H.

Managua, Nicaragua, May 21.—(By the Associated Press)—A revolutione ary movement broke out here today against President Diega Manuel Chamorro, a band of rebels seizing Fortress L.oma commanding this city. Marines To Take Charge Upon representations from the American minister John E. Ramer, however, the revolutionists later agreed to turn over the fort to the commander of the American marines at 10 o'clock tonight to be given back to the government. The capture of oFrtress Loma was effected at noon under command of Gen. Arcenio Cruz, who took the position by strategy in the absence of the commander. Other leaders of the revolutionary movement are Adam Canton and Salvador Castrillo. All are prominent conservatives, but are of the faction opposed to the present government. Rebels Are Friendly As soon as news of the capture of the fortress was received, the Ameri- can minister sent a letter to the com- mander of the rebellious troops and the reply stated that the rebels were friendly to the Americans and that their purpose was to cause the resig- nation of the president and a change of the present cabinet. Threatens to Shoot The American minister repited stating that if the fort fired upon Camp De aMrte, where the American marines are stationed or upon the city the fire would be returned by' the marines. He also proposed that Gen. Cruz send three representatives to the American legation to meet three rep- resentatives of the government for a joint conference. Mr. Ramer then communicated by wireless with Rear Admiral Cole of the United States navy who replied {jhat he was withiy 300 miles of Nicaragua and would arrive at Corin- to tomorrow with 400 marines.
