The public safety act gives the govern- ment power to detain him anad it is considered likely that he will be kept in jail until the conditibn of the country is more peaceful, Events in the I'ree State during the the government's action with regard has created a profound impression in County Clare and throughout Mun- ster, It is officially declared there is no foundation for the statement that the government could have arrested Mr, De Valera at any time during the past 12 months. He has been in hid- ing and the government forces, con- tinually searching for him, took the first opportunity they had to arrest him which was afforded by his ap- pearance at Enn t is asserted, Arrest No Surprise. By The Assoclated Press. Dublin, Aug. 16.—Commenting on the detention of De Valera, the Free- man's Journal says today: ““The arrest did not come as a sur- | prise cither to De Valera or to his followers. He was well aware that the government was bound to act as it has done. “Not once, but many times, were offers of amnesty made upon condi- tions generous to a fault. | “It is up to the government either to detain the prisoner under the pub- lic safety act or to submit his record and his reassertion of dictatorial au- thorify to the verdict of a judiclal tribunal. Nobody can question tho government's right to adopt which- | ever of these courses seems best lo‘ them “Tht’ Irish Independent opines lhul the political effect of the arrest will | be probably to give stfength to De| Valera's candidacy. i ““We assume,” says this newspaper, | “that the government weighed the problem fully before deciding upon the arrest and that military reasons in the ministry's opinion far out- weighed the political consequences.” No Friends in England. By The Assoclated Pross. London, Aug. 16.—While the Irish T'ree State has many friends in Eng- land, the same cannot be said of Eamon De Valera; hence the London press wastes no sympathy on the re- publican leader in his loss of liberty. On the other hand, there is no tendency to congratulate the men who captured him yesterday at Ennis for by the arrest De Valera's captors are regarded as having set for them- selves a problem the solution of which may cost them dearly. The opinion is very general here that De Valera was less dangerous to the F'ree State as a fugitive than as a prisoner.. It is believed that his detention will surely provoke repri- sals and will strengthen his election campaign, “We don't envy the Irish govern- ment its problem and are glad it's not ours” is the tenor of several news- paper editorials.

Alderman Cornelius J. Dehm of the first! ward, who was the first member named on the committee will call the first meeting next week. It is expect- ed that he, being the republican lead- er in the council, will be named chair- man of the committee. Secking Excuse For Change It is said that the action of the re- publicans in the council is the first step in their program which has for its purpose the elimination of a police commission composed of four mem- bers in favor of a single commissioner. The sponsors of the idea could not g0 before the public without having a reason for the change and, it is said, have decided to try ®e ‘“expose’ the present commission as an excuse on which to base their policy. It is said that the probers will investigate the general conduct of the police depart- ment and will try to make it unpleas- ant for one member of the department whose methods of making investiga- tions will be questioned.

The resolution carried the names of five council members, four of them re- publicans, who the majority side of the council had selected as members of the investigating committee, and the second ward alderman was one of those named. The resolution follows: “Whereas, it has come to the at. tention of the members of the com- mon council that certain policemen were appointed to the police force in the city of New Britain contrary to the ordinances of said city; “Therefore, be it resolved, that a committee of five members of the common council, consisting of Alder- men Cornelius Dehm, William Judd, Frank Conlon and Councilmen David L. Nair and George Molander, be and they are hereby appointed to investi- gate sald matter or any other mat- ters pertaining to the police depart- ment and report back their findings to the common council.” COhallenges Their Manhood. Alderman Gill was apparently sur- prised and asked that the resolution be read again. This was done. He then asked if Alderman Conlon, the democratic leader, knew anything of the movement and no one was in a position to reply. The alderman then said: “This is a dirty piece of business. ‘We have a fine police commission and one of the finest men in the city at its head. It's dirty, absolutely dirty. It's a dircct slap in the face. Why don’'t you come out in the open like men? It's insinuation, and if there is anything I hate it's that dirty Insinu- ation. Anyone with eyes can see what it ls. Why don’t you ask the chairman anything you wish to know about the police department? He's at almost every meeting of the common council,” Councilman E., T.

Kirkham suggested that the proposal be laid over so that he might investigate. He explained that an appeal from a building line on that same street is now pending. On motion of Alderman Dehm the request was tabled for one month. A report of the garage commission anent the heating of the garage which was tabled at the last meeting was taken from the table and referred back to the commission. Alderman Dehm and Judd submit- ted a resolution to have a committee named to work with the park board on plans for a swimming pool and other park improvements. At the last meeting of the couneil a bill of Chiet W. C. Hart for ex- penses to a police convention was tabled for an itemized bill. The bill was read by Alderman Judd. It was voted to pay the bill, an amendment of Councilman Cadwell to deduct $10 membership fee being lost. The coun- cilman desired to have the chief made personally liable for this item.

Belicved Reports Acceptable The documents comprise the two claims conventlons and the Mexican government'’s interpretation of the bearing of the subsoil petroleum and Agrarian laws on American property in Mexico. It is believed here that the reports carried by Mr. Payne and My.

As regards subsoil petroleum, the minutes show that Mexico holds that the rights of American oil companies to properties acquired prior to the seems to be assumed in Dublin that he will not be prosecuted merely be- ing held with the other interned per- sons until the government sees fit to release him. said no such falling off was noticeable in New Britain. “In fact,” he added, “we find business has been good in the building line during the summer and look for a big boom in building the committee and Councilman Ring- rose seconded the amendment. promulgation of the 1917 constitution remain intact.
