lrishmen In U. S. Knew Of Plot
For Revolt Long Before Outbreak

That the plans for the Irish rebel
lion were known by Irish sympathi-
zers in the United States weeks be-
fore the actual outbreak of fighting,
and that the British government sup
pressed news of the revolt until a
cipher cablegram to New York gave
the news to the New York papers, is
the story which comes to Honolulu
by the latest mail.
Irishnlen In New York, including
those high in the councils of the Unit
ed iTishAmerican societies, admitted
that the plans Of the Dublin revoIu-
tionists had been known here for
more than a week. The news of the
first fighting was received in New
York more than "a hours before its
recipient, an Irishman, sent 1t to the
newspapers, and two days before the
official announcement of the revolt
came by cable.
Charges were made by Irish leaders
in New York that the sinking of the
German auxiliary cruiser loaded with
arms and munitions OF war for the
revolutionists and the capture of Sir
Roger Easement was made possible
by information "treacherouslyv sent
to England by the Washington govern
ment.
These charges have been denied
flatly by Secretary Of State Lansing.
One jeremiah A. 0'Leary told the
New York World that he had learned

tung province, which adicins Chill on
the south, has joined the revolution
lists In a battle yesterday morning
revolutionary troops from Wei Shein
entered Tsinan, the capital of the
province, after fiye-hour siege.
Although YuaA--Shih-Kaf' Is soldiers
outnumbered the revolutfonists nearly
two to one, the Republican troops Sc
cured a strong position on the east
bank of the Hwang Ho River, and
crossing the Kiao Chau railroad, en-.
tered the city from two points. The
Yuan forces made stubborn fight for
an hour, but finally were defeated
and number of the Chill troops were
taken prisoners.
The capture of Tsinan gives the
revolutionists entire control of Shan
tung province, with the exception of
the eastern district, which is near
Tsingtau, the Japanese port, cap
tured from Germany. The Tsinan vic
tory also gives the revolutionists con-
troll of the railroad from Tientsin to
Shanghai. s#

night seized and threatened the wife

peared in the darkness. /.
As a result of this and other Incl
dents showing that one or more law
ess characters may continue depre-
daticns in the valley, residents of the
secucn began today an organized plan
for measures Of self-defense.
A group of husbands met this morn
ing and decided to contribute to a
fund to bring from the, coast a blood
hound trained in the pursuit OF GRIM
inals; to keep the dog in the valley
at some central spot where his ser.
vices are quickly available almost
anywhere in the section; and to en-
ploy a keeper who will WORK with the
animal in running down criminal tres
passers. --.. -.
Furthermore, representatives of
Manoa valley residents called on Cap
tain of Detectives McDuffie this morn
ing for aid and he will begin instruc-
tion of women of the valley in the use
of revolyers. Twice week, beginning
as soon as it can be arranged, shooting
classes for women will be held with
McDuffie as instructor. Hereafter it
is probable that a large number of

number in the past two years which
have thoroughly stirred up AIanoa

to visit neighbor only a few rods

her way home small man approach

about the 'cook-man," his dialect

was merely trying to find some friend,
the woman answered his questions.
Suddenly he drew and brandished
large knife, talking almost unintellig-

seriousness Of his threats.
The woman showed him backward
with quick push and screamed loud
