Or. Senner said that he was not in a
position to state whether the 167 ref

decision until he has heard both sides
ri the question. and may possibly re-
fer them later to the secretary of the

accompanied by Brigader Fox. Ensign
Kemp, Ensign Garabed, two Armenian

before the Board of Special Enquiry
and stated that the refugees were not
paupers, and that they would not be
cClonized at Ramsey's. He said, how
ever, that Ramseys would be used as a
distributing point, and that the Ar
menians would be drafted from there

the Salvation army officers. Conse-
quently, he said. they would not be
paupers. nor likely to become a public
charge. The board of special enquiry
referred the matter to Commissioner
Senner, who sent the papers to the sec
retary of the treasury.

New York, Oct. 19.-President Ly-
man Of the Irish National Alliance,
furnishes the following statement to the
United Associated Pressess with 4 re-
quest that 1t be sent to its papers:
New York, Oct 10.
To Ir'shmen at home and abroad
A circular Is being sent broadcast
throughout Ireland and Great Britain by
body styling itself the Irish Republ-
can Federation" calling for subscriptions
and asking Irishmen to pledge subscrib-
ing to Its principles and willingness to
take uD arms.
My name is set forth as president of
this federation in which man caliina
himself Patrick Feeney seems TO be the
prime mover. l have not given authority
to any person to so use my name, and I
hereby warn Irishmen to have nothing
to do with this Irish Republican Fedora
tion. 1t appears to me to be either an
other stupid scheme of the British home
office, or the work of some unwise per-
son. William Lyman.
