Swarms of police made the raid. The majority of those arrested were Irish Republican Army officers. ‘The captures include ‘Capal Healy, member of the Fermanagh County, Council und prominent Sinn Fein leader in that district; Thomas Cor- rigan, accountant for the Fermanagh County Council; Samuel Sheridan, Chairman of the recently dissolved Newry Board of Guardians, and Eu- gene McGilligan, County Councillor, who was the Sinn Fein candidate in North Derry at the last general election The Northern Government's action was taken, it was stated, in an effort to suppress not only the Irish Repub- lican Army and the Irish Republican Brotherhood, but all other Sinn Fein organizations in the six-county area. The Government's move follows swiftly upon Irish Republican Army raids and burnings of buildings in the Counties of Down and Antrim and the intensified hostilities In Bel- fast recently, culminating in the murder yesterday of W.

Nearly every town and village in Ulster was visited, but the bulk of the prisoners was taken in the coun- try districts, from farmhouses, Com- paratively few captures were made in Belfast, as most of the Irish Repu>- Mcan Army men living in the Sinn Fein districts of Belfast, anticipating action by the police as a result of the Twaddell assassination, had gone “on the run.” The Ulster Government is taking immediate steps to suppress the Irish Republican Army, Irish Republican Brotherhood, Irish Volunteers, The Sinn Fein, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts. The members of these or- ganizations, it is announced, are liable to arrest and prosecution, Official announcement to this effect was made in the Ulster Parliament at to-day's session. The big encircling mevement was commenced at about 4 o'clock, and the work of visiting houses in town and country was rapidly and efficient- ly carried out. Several hundred mem- bers of the constabulary and a large staff of officers were on duty from midnight, completing the arrange- ments. The majority of those wanted were completely surprised, and in nearly every instance were aroused from sleep by the police demanding admis- sion. “ Garron Tower, the County Antrim mansion of Lord Londonderry, re- cently converted into a hotel, was burned last night by incendiaries. DUBLIN, May 28.—Major Gen. Beauchamp Doran was held prisoner for several hours by the Republican dissentient troops at Wexford on Sunday. While Gen. Doran was disembark- ing at Rosslare, upon his return from London where he witnessed the dis- bandment of his Royal Irish Regt- ment, he remonstrated with men who were seizing the British Sunday news- papers and throwing them into the sea, The Republican troops thereupon arrested the General, conveyed him to Wexford and placed him in a guard room with a prisoner under arrest for robbery, The General protested at his forced association with this man, and was finally released at 7 o'clock in the evening, Gen, Doran, who is High Sheriff of County Wexford, says that he was considerately treated. SINN FEIN RATIFIES IRISH AGREEMENT DUBLIN, Mar Press).-The Ard Fheis, the national Sinn Fein organization, ratified at its meeting to-day the agreement reached last week by the factions in the Dail Eireann regardihg elections and the composition of the Government, After voting its approval the ses- sion adjourned. Michael Collins, head of the Pro- visional Government, addressing the Ard Feis, said the value of the agree- ment reached by the Dail Bireann last Saturday was that it secured the untty of the nation, enabling Ireland to end the disorder, “If, as has been said, this agree- ment imperils the Anglo-Ireland Treaty," said Collins, ‘‘we will have to face that in this manner. We have made an agreement which will bring stable conditions to the country, and if these stable conditions are not more valuable than any other agreement then we must face what these stable conditions will enable us to face.'” 23° (Associated Frosted Ice Tub; hammered silver band, $7.50 ‘VEN the best regu- lated wedding is a | curious combination of joyand sorrow, but Oving- ton’s gifts—which are to be seen at every well-reg- ulated wedding—throw a decided weight on the side of joy. ’ |} OVINGTON’S | “The Gift Shop of Fifth Avenue” Fifth Avenue at 39th Street wy LADY ASTOR SAILS GIVING VIEWS ON PROHIBITION HERE (Continued from First Page.)

Members of the committee: freely stated that the reply ‘will be a firm and unqualified rejection of the offer.
