LOCKED IN T0MBS
Congressman Rhinock Causes Arrest
of Robert A. Irving on a
Libel Charge
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-Robert A.

was arrested today charged with GRIM
inal libel Irving was taken at once to
the court house, arraigned before Mag
istarate Breen and, in default of $1,000
bail, was locked up in the Tombs.
The complainant is Congressman
Rhinock of Kentucky, who some
months ago caused the arrest of Rob-
ert w. Criswell editor of the New
Yorker, on a similar charge. Criswell
subsequently met with tragic death
beneath a subway train. The charge
against Irving grew out of the same
article, upon which the prosecution of
Criswell was based.
The article censured Representative
Longworth of Ohio for introducing Mr..
Rhinock to Miss Alice Roosevelt dur
mig the visit of the presidents daughter
to the Latonia races near Cincinnati.
