DE VALERA IS

Ulster Border States

(By Ami-med Press.)

DUBLIN. Aug. 28.—Eamon De
Valera. Republican leader. today
denied a statement given out by the
Free State publicity bureau yester-
day to the effect that his speech at
Dundalk on Sunday represented a
change in his policy in regard to
Ulster.

Mr. DeVlaora asserted that at no
time had he ever put fOrward any
proposal under which any part of
Ireland would be free to set up a
separate parliament independent of
Ireland. Supporting this statement.
he quoted a hitherto unpublished
letter addressed by him to former
Prime Minister Lloyd George dur-
ing the Anglo-Irish negotiations of
July 1921. threatening to break with
Mr. Lloyd George if the British gov-
ernment concurred in the claim of
Sir James Craig for a separate na-
tional unit for the six boundary
counties.

Mr. DeVaiera added that neither
before nor since he had sent that
letter. had he" departed from the
principle that all Ireland must be a
unit for self determination.

"Court has no other recourse than
to do as it has done." he said. "The
state's attorney knew that he would
have no chance to reply."

The court then started to road a.
prepared statement.

In it the judge defended his court
from criticisms of the proceedings.

“Some of these criticisms came
from those who know no better and
some have been from those who
should know better." he read.

Jacob Franks. father of prert.
and Captain Wm. Schoemaker. were
sworn in as state witnesses on the
kidnapping count. They testified at
the bench. the questions and answers

being inaudible.

CHICAGO. Aug. 28.-—-The swarms
of mesquitoes. infecting the west
great lakes region, which have driv~
en golfers from courses and caused
audiences at a grand opera to sit
swathed in newspaper and netting,
are blamed for the delay in the
flight south of the purple marten.
«.The migratory birds. whose de-
parture about August 22 is said to
come about six weeks before frost.
have remained to dine on mosqui-
toes. according to ornithologists.

Since the insects may last until the
first frost. the birds may slay north
much longer than usual. it was
said.

Grand opera audiences have re—
sorted to paper puttees and voila
of netting. while nrtists' efforts are
being interrupted by inclinations to
"swat" the buzzing pests and soothe
itching "biics."

Boys with smudge pots are em-
ployed on numerous golf courses to
combat the marauders.

8100.000 in unset diamonds were ta-

robbers disappeared the alarm was
given and the building was sur-

could be found who had seen them

NEW YORK. Aug. 28.——In the ar-
rest early today of two men and a
woman charged with the robbery of
Alexander Feldenhcimer of 8100.000
worth of uncut diamonds on August
22. the police and private detectives
representing Lloyd's of London be-
lieve they have taken the first step
in the disorganization of a clever
band of gem thieves. and the clear-
ing up of robberies involving mil-
lions of dollars worth of Jewels.

The woman, Mrs. Dorothy Burns.
2:. turned over to the police 84.750
which she said was the remainder
of the money obtained from the sale
of the diamonds. The other prison—
ers. James J. Burns. a. chauffeur. the
woman‘s h uh b a n d. and Harry
Chance. both 20 years old. denied

gny connection with the case.

The woman prisoner. according to
the police. admitted having taken
part in the robbery of Feldenheimer's
office. which is on the ninth floor of
170 Broadway. Foldenheimer and a.
customer were bound with picture
wire before the robbers began se-
lecting their loot. .

Gerard Luisl. representative of
Lloyd's. declared the arrests to be
the opening wedge in the complete
disorganization of s. clever band of
international gem thieves. This
band, he said. was responsible for
the theft of more than 815.000.000
Worth of jewels during the last year
in the wholesale jewelry district. be-
low thc police deadline.

The holdup of Foldenhelmer in
his office was one of the most during
an. robberies of recent months.
Scores of persons were passing an

and down in the elevators of the busy

office building and hundreds were
passing along Broadway during the
lunch hour while the robbery was
committed.

The three prispners were arrested

King machine swept the city in the
Republican prirnarics last night. but.
Senator Howard S. Challenger. fight-
ing gallantiy against both organiz-
tlon and Coolidge club factions.
captured the senatorial nomination
in the 28rd district. Tickets pledged
to his support were elected in. the
Ninth and Tenth districts. A tre-
mendous vote. nearly 9.000 the larg—
est within the memory of many poli-
ticians was palled.

Messages congratulating Senator
Challenger on his victory and Judge
Ralph T. Beers. as leader of the
"upstate" re-organization movement.
on his showing in the primary battle
were received from Harry Macken-
zie. of Bethel. Roraback leader.

Tickets supported by the King ma-
chine were elected in nine districts.
The Coolidge club carried one dis-
trict the Fifth. Tickets. classed and
claimed as reorganization. were
elected in three districts.

Control of the city convention by
27 delegates was claimed by Repub-
lican Town Chairman Alfred W.
Burdick. The reorganization. how-
ever, claim 16 of the 30 delegatei
elected. The organization dejected
the Coolidge club in the First. Sec-
ond, Third. Fourth, Sl‘xth. Eighth.
and Twelfth districts. Control in the
Seventh and Eleventh delegations
was claimed.

“It's a repetition of history." said
John T. King. who came up from
New York yesterday to cast his bah
lot for the organisation.

"1 was interested in the renomina-
tion of Wilder. Challenger and Kil-
patrick." Judge Ralph 'l‘. Beers said
“I am pleased to have had a part in
accomplishing this result."

Renomination of Senator Frank L.
Wilder in the 2lst district is assured
as a rcsuit of primary balloting in
that district. The King machine and
reorganization supported his candl~
daey and he will control the sena-
torial convention with 12- o! the 15
votes. Tickets favorable to him were
elected in the First. Second. Third
and Fourth districts.

The largest vote in the history of
the First district was polled last
night. one old campaigner said,
when he learned that 384 votes had
been cast. The Coolidge club was de-
feated 257 to 127. Both King ma.-
chlne and reorganization supported

isation. headed by Colonel Issac M.
Ullman. were decisively beaten at the
Republican caucus here last night to
pick. delegates to the Republican
State Convention.

' Unomdal returns show that the
Uliman forces came out of the fight
with a two to one victory. the unof-
ficial figures being 78 to 46. The
Ullman tomes claim 20 1-3 of the 83
wards in the city. giving 13 1-2
wards to the Willard faction. In one
ward. the Eighth. the vote was split.

The contest has been a bitter one
and is a continuance of one (ought
some months ago. when the anti-or-
ganization faction claimed a victory
at the time of the selection of dele-
gates to the Spring state convention
of the party. At that time the or-
ganizaion forces claimed that their
ward leaders had been caught nap-
ping and prepared for the struggle.

at the polls last night.
