IRISH PRISONERS SET FIRE TO JAIL 1 Frustrated in Escape Attempt, They Threaten Hunger Strike But Apply Torch. Dublin, Aug. 30.—The disturbances yesterday in Maryborough prison where between 600 and 700 irregu- lars are interned, occasioned the is- suance of the following official army report late last night: ‘“Yesterday (Monday), a tunnel was discovered by the authorities in Mary- borough prison and three irregular prisoners were found trying to es- cape. As a result of the discovery of the tunnel disciplinary measures were enforced. An ultimatum later was sent to the governor of the prison by the leader of the irregular prisoners in which it was stated they would go on hunger strike at noon today. “This step was not taken, but at 3 o'clock in the afternoon each prison- er set fire to his mattress and bed clothes and all rushed into the com- pound. In the disturbance which followed five prisoners were wounded. The fire was brought under control and subsequently extinguished.

In the lobby of a hotel, the two men met, one fortifying his memory with glances at the yellowing picture in his hand, the other striving to re- call the features that were pictured only in his mind. The machine made plcture preved useless, but the phan- tom mind photo was true. Bernard Leveque reached forward and embraced his boy, whom he had not seen for 28 years. His son, with the old photograph in his hands, failed to recognize his father. The death of Leveque's wife forced him to put his two sons in an or- phanage in Ogdensburg, N. Y, {B years ago. The old boy—a lad ¥f seven—died, but Bernard Jr. thrived. Every summer, for 19 years, whenever his work in New York permitted him a vacation, he spent it in searching for his father. The trail finally led to Montreal. His father had been, all the while, conducting a similar search. As the result of an advertisement word was brought to the boy's room yesterday that a stranger was waiting to see him. The stranger was his father. Both will now live at the boy's home in New York. band is imprisoned in the mine, tells a story of a which came to him Sunday evening before he left his home to go shift. on NEW BRITAIN DAILY FARMERS ACTIVEIN CANADIAN POLITICS New Premier of Manitoba Is Ag- riculturist--Never at Parliament Winnipeg, Man,, Aug. 30.—The re- cent election of John Bracken as premier of Manitoba, lends greater emphasis to the rise of farmers to, political power In Canada, In the opinion of leaders of the farmer| movement.
