1TARTS RAID TO CLEAN
UP ULSTER AREA
4rthern Ireland Government Takes
Drastice Action to Prevent Mur
ders by Sinn Fein
MANY ESCAPE THE NET
Three Hundred or More Prisoners
Taken' by Special Constables in
Big Clean-Up
Belfast May 23.-Three hutidred
or more prisoners were taken by
special constables in the various
counties of Ulster today. The pris
oners comprised for the most part
officers and men of the Irish Re
publican army, as well as members
of the Sinn Fein and other organi
zations opposed to the constituted
authorities here.
Although the Northern govern
ment had contemplated drastic ac
tion against the Sinn Fein,. it was
the assassination of W. J. Twaddell,
a member of the Northern Parlia
mont, that really decided the gov
ernment to act promptly. But at
the same time it reduced the num
ber of captives in the round up, as
many of the leading Republicans
left Belfast dreading reprisals, and
thus escaped the police net.
Prisoners to Be Interned
The prisoners will be interned,
but the place of their internment
%has not yet been decided.
Premier Craig in Parliament to
day declared that the recent se
rious disorders made it clear that
forcible action was necessary, con
sequently he had issued a new reg
ulation making membership in the
Irish Republican army an offense
in itself. The government had fur
ther decided to arrest a number of
persons under observation . because
it was impossible to allow such in
dividuals in Ulster to carry on a
conspiracy against authority. The
government would not hesitat' to
employ its full power to suppress
such conspiracy.
The premier emphasized that this
action was not due to panic, but
had been in mind for some weeks.
He evidently anticipated reprisals,
for he proceeded to speak of the
military which would be required if
there was any invasion of strength
against Ulster tonight.
Raid Carired Out
Belfast, May 23.-(By the Asso
ciated Press.)- The greatest raid
in the recent history of Ireland was
carired out early today when
swarms of police swept through Uls
ter and rounded up 200 Sinn Feiners,
the majority of whom were Irish Re
publican army officers.
The northern government's action
was taken, it was stated, in an ef
fort to suppress not only the Irish
Republican and the Irish Republi
can Brotherhood, but al other Sinn
Fein organizations in the six coun
ty areas.
The government's move follows
t owiftly upon Irish Republican army
raids and burning of buildings in
the counties of Down and Antrim
and the intensified hostilities in
Belfast recently culminating in the
murder yesterday of W. J. Twad
dell, member of the Ulster Parlia
ment.
Taken in Country Districts
Nearly every town and village in
Ulster was visited, but the bulk
of the prisoners was taken in the
country districts, from farm houses.
Comparatively few captures were
madec in Belfast andl most of 'the
Irish Repubilean army men liiving
in the Sinn Fein dlistricts of Bel
fast, anticipating action by the po
ice as a result of the Twvaddell
assassination had gone "o nthe run."
Trhe captures incl ude Caapal H-ealy
member of the Fermanagh County
Council and~ prominen1t Sinni Fein
leader in that district; Thomas C.
Corrigan, accountant for the Fer
managh County Council; Samuel
Sheridan, chiairmani of the recently
dlissolvedl Newry Boards of Guard
ians, and1 Eugene McGilligan, coun
ty couincillor, who was the Sinn
Fein candidate in North Derry at
the last general election.
The early estimates of the num
ber of prisoners taken ran as high
as 1,500, but these proved to be
greatly exaggerated, and officials
expressedl belief that up to this
noon the tota had not exceeded
200. In Belfast, particularly, the
number of Irish Republican army
me neaught fell far beolw the early
estimate.

Refers to Attacks Made on Her by
Knights of Columbus--Sums Up
qAgggin on Dry Question
New York, May 23.-Lady Astor
started back home to her six chil
dren and her weo'. in the House of
Commons today, smiling and viva
cious, just as she was six weeks ago
when she larded ..here for a visit
to her native land.
The first thing she is going t~o
do on ari'iving in IEngland is to
visit her chilh "en-one of them in
this school, another in that, two
more in a third, she said,-and then
go home and see the baby of the
six.
The eldest son, she -thought, would
meet her and Lord Astor when the
Aquitania dlocks at Southampton.
Among the great number of
boxes which she is taking home are
toys worth $150 for the children.
She bought them on a shopping
tour yesterday.
Preceding Lady Astor up the
Aquitania's gang plank by only a
moment, was William Randolph
Hearst, whose name has been con
nected with gubernatorial aspira..
tions but who today enme out for
Mayor Hylan.
"When I am running for oflice I
don't run away," Lady Astor re
marked, greeting a group of re
porters on the deck.
When someone asked her if her
remark was apropos of one of her
feilow passengers, she winked and
said, "I a mjust saying that's the
E~nglish method."
Lady Astor, remarked that the
one discordant, note in her visit
had been the clamor of some who
advocated deporting her as ain un1
desirable alien.
"The only ones who wanted 111
deported as an undesirable alien,"
she said, "Are thv: who preach1
hate in the name of God.

THREE MURDERERS
ARE RESENTENCED
Fox, Gappins and Kirby to Die on
June 16th.
CARRIED TO LEXINGTON
Convicted Last August For Killing
Brazell, Columbia Taxicab
Driver
Columbia, May 23.-S. J. Kirby, C.
0. Fox and Jesse Gappins, convicted
last August of the murder of William
C. Brazel, a youthful taxicab driver
of Columbia, were sentenced at Lex
ington today to be electrocuted here
at the State penitentiary June 16.
The trio last August hired Bra
zell's automobile on the streets of
Columbia to drive them to Augusta,
and before they reached Lexington
they struck him on the head, half
stunning him. They then, while he
was half lying on the running board,
stabbed him to death, Cox confebs' g
at the trial that he wielded the k,.. e
and "ground it in the wound." The
body was then thrown into a nearby
thicket.
The men then proceeded beyond
Augusta with Brazell's car when
they had tire trouble. Kirby, who
was alone at the time, met a chain
gang guard and confessed. The
three men were locked in the Au
gusta jail, which was later sur
rounded by a iou ;roan L.a, State
"n an effort to get the iihre :.;en.
F or bile ee dys and Ii};:. armed
nen patrolled this vicinity in an
endeavor to find the men. No

August 21. This execution was stay
ed by appeals to the State Supreme
Court.
'T'he prisoners were taken to and
