London, April 7—The 5 per cent. war loan, the largest loan raised by the Brit government during the war, reached par 100 today for the first time, a pre- mium of 5 per cent. over the issue price, accordiug to the London Times. The al- vance ocourred after the stock exchange closed and was a result of the favorabie terms on which the treasury sold by ten- der pounds sterling 60,000,000 of treas- ury.bills and 5 per cent. five-year treas- ury bonds. The treasury bills sold at an average discount rate of five shillings below last week’s rate, the lowest rate since the re-introduction of the tender system, PRODUCTS OF A BELFAST DISTILLERY DESTROYED Dublin, April 7 (By the A. P.).—The worst attack yet made, in pursuance of the boycott on Belfast goods took place at 3 ‘o'clock thijs mornng, when the bonded stores of the custom house were raided and large quantities of wine and whiskey, mostly from a Beifast distillery with which Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, is connected, were destroyed. One hundred men, armed with revoivers siedge hammers and pickaxes, broke their way into the premises, where they smashed casks of liquor, pouring it over the floor and into the city sewers. An official estimate of the damage has not yet been madé, but the Dublin Even- ing Mail places the figure at hundreds of thousands of pounds. Most. of this, how ever, would be the duty, so the loser is the ‘government authority, in this case the provisional government. The boyeott commiltee states that .000 casks were destroyed, or, roughly, half a miilion gallons. It estimates the value of the liquor, apart from the duty, at pounds sterting 250,000, Boycotting Belfast goods is now the prominent activity of the dissentent re- pubiican army section. The chief offi- cers of this group are found at Orange hall, which was recently commandeered, and which is occupied partly by ex- polled Belfast workers. SUSPEND DISBANDMENT OF ROYAL IRISH CONSTABULARY Dublin, April 7.—Owing to recent at- tacks on members and former members of the Royal Irish constabulary, in which several men have been killed, the dis- bandment of that force has been sus- pended. Strict precautions have been taken in the Castle and Ship street bar- racks. Free State guards have heen placed om duty in the unper Castle yard and armed Royal Inish constabulary have been stationed at the entrance to Pal- ace street. IAY TESTIFY IN THE ARBUCKLE CASE LEHRMA San Fraacisco, April 7.—Evidence in rebuttal to the defense contention that a chronic ailment caused the death of Miss Virgiaia Rappe, was introduced by the prosecution today in the third trial of Roscoe (.. Arbuckle on a manslaugh- ter charge. Mrs. Joseph B. Hardebeck, of Los Angeles, :ostified that she had been housekeeper for Miss Rappe in Chicago and ‘Los Angeles and had known girl since cliichood. She said she looked upon the girl as her ow child, but admitted under cross examination that the charge of $25 a week she had made as housekeeper had not bLeen paid and that she had a claim agamst Miss Rappe's estate for more than $£1,000. She sald that while she was in Miss Rappe's © v, the girl had been treat- ed for an uanamed ailment and thmat in 1921 heér cGoctor advised an operation. She £aid Miss Rappe also had had influ- enza in Los Angeles. Mrs. Hardebeck said that in her knowledge Miss Rappe never had given birth to a child. Harold Tord. flormer chawffeur for Miss Rappe, said that in his three months of service for her she never had displayed any signs of illness The pyosecution announced it would close its rebuttal testimony to- morrow. It was announced that Hen- ry Lehrman, motion picture producer, and former fiance of Miss Rappe, to- morrow would confer with the prose- cution regarding his appearance as a witness. t A CAMPAISN TO WIPE OUT $375,000 REPUBLICAN DEBT New Yo, April T.—A drive to wipe out the $375,000 debt which still fages the republican national committee w be made in New England and the North Atlantic states, at once, it was decided today at.a meeting of the committee’s sub-commitiee on finance, called by Charles' D.

He based his prediction on what had been said at a conference today of strike ders and the resolutions committee | appoinied by the mayor. Thomas F. Mahon, president of the United Te: - Workers of America, asserted tonizht that nothing had been said at the con- ference, to his knowledge, that indicated an_early termination of the contest.

Warriner, presi- dent of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation :ompany and spokesman for the opera- ors _ “We still maintain the view expressed in our reply to the 19 demands when they were first submitted,” he said. “We believe that there must be a reduetion in the prize of “anthracite coal to pre- vent destruction of the market, and we believe a corresponding reduction must come in the wages of the miners.” Philip Murray, vice president of the United Staes Mine Workers of Ameri- ca and leader of the unjon delegation on the commnlittee, expressed satisfao- tion with “heir case as it,had been pre- sented. The miners closed their inning be- fore the committee with arguments for establishment of the check-off system of co'.‘vcllng. dues.

COUNTESS MARKIEWICZ COMES TO PREACH IRISH EEPUBLIC New York, Aprii 7.—Countess Georgi- ana Markiewicz, leader of the irreconcil- able Irish women opposed to anything short of a/republic in Ern, arrived to- day on the Aquitana for a speaking tour in the United States. She sald her present mission was to put the truth before the friends of Ire land in the United States who “so mag- nificently supported us in our fight.” Few women of promfience have gone to jail as many times as Countess Mar- kiewicz, yet one would never guess in looking at her that she fs any more ac- customed to pacing up and down a cell month after month than any other mid- die aged woman of position. The countess hasn't been to jail so many times-that she forgets any of them, not even for a moment. Someone asked her to verify a printed synopsis of the events of her life while she sat talking on the sun deck of the ship today, and she quickly noticed that her four months in jail during 1919 were not recorded. solute, perfsct and that the 100 per cent. response Wwhich had been anticipated.” The ,strike was continuing to spread into non-union territory, “at a gratifying “It doesn’t matter, though,” she said, reading on to find other lines that need- ed_correction.

Words came faster when she denounced the Free State treaty and its supporters. No matter what happens, she said, the eIrish are going to get the repubiic. They are ready to-go out and die for it, she was sure, asserting thaz more than 90 per cent. of the Irish republican army already had declared for the republic and that these ‘soidiers looked upon Griffith and Collins as traitors. These two leaders who supported the treaty with England were, she declared, | like others through the history of all strugzies, “willing 1o let others fight for them.” Redmond was that way, she added, ‘and Colins and Griffith stepped in Redmond's shoes.” Irish women, the were not permitting Free State advocates to use the Sinn Fein tri-color. She was arrested, ac- cused of having killed a guard during the raid on Dublin Castle, and sentenced to death. This sentence was commuted to life improsonment, but in June, 1917. she was released. One year later she was arrested again by British authoritigs, who captured De Valera, Griffith and other Sinn Fein leaders at the same time. This was just after she had been elected to parliament. the first woman ever to receive such an houor. But she would not go—-she said she would start a pariiament of her own. Aiready she was “minister of labor” in the “Irish republic.” A little later the British took the countess to Holyhead on a warship and put her in Holloway prison, where she remained in confinement until the fol- lowing March, 1919. She was free only three months. In June she was arrested in Cork dur- ing the campaign against the Irish rebels and sentenced to serve four months be- hind the bars. ‘The next time the countess was ar- rested was in September, 1920, at Dub- lin. A courtmartial convicted her of conspiracy to organize-a “seditious so- ciety,” and she was sentenced to serve two years in confinement. She was put in Mount Joy prison. Last July she was released with other Irish leaders. When Collins and Griffith brought thelx treaty with (Lioyd .
