CHARGES CRUE[T|ES
AGAINST BRITAIN
HeaIy Stirs Exciting Scene in
Commons Over Irish
Situation.

LONDON July 27.-An exciting scene,
indicative of the strong feeling Whlch
prevails among the Irish members, oc-
CURED in the house of commons last
night when Timothy Hea1y charged the
government with arresting 1000 inno-
cent persons in the course of the Irish
rebellion and treating them with a
cruelty and ferocity which even Ger
many has not shown in Belgium. 1he
home secretary. he added, by his ad-
ministration. had started the Sim Fem
organization in Ireland. and. therefore,
was father of the movement.
The speaker here called Healy to or
Ger for irrelevance. but did not refuse
the request of Herbert l.. Samuel. the
home secretary. for permission to reply
to the charges made by Healy Secre-
tary Samuel characterized Healy
charges as utterly unfounded, and de-
MED vigorously that prisoners had been
ill treated or placed in solitary conhne-
ment as alleged. The home secretary
said he would leave the house to judge
the value of Healy's allegations.
Complains Against Arrests.
John Dillon and other Irish members
severely criticised the Irish admins
tration in connection with the rebel
lion, complaining against the arrest OF
innocent persons and the continuance
of the military regime.
Secretary Samuel, in a general de-
Tense of the government, contended
that the rebellion was not pardon
able eccentricity but a grave crime
against society and that the country
ought to be grateful to Gen. Maxwell
for undertaking his difficult task OF
uuelling the disorder. Doubtless many
ad n
Mr.. Samuel repudiated on behalf of
the military any blood-thirsty desire
to kill for the sake of killing.
Home Rule Cause Not Hurt.
The breakdown of the Irish settle
ment does not in any way injure the
cause of home rule nor indicate any
change in the attitude of the govern
ment toward the Irish question, Sir
Horace Plunkett told the Associated
Press yesterday Sir Horace. who for
many years has been occupied with
Irish agricultural and congestion
problems, probably possesses as broad
knowledge of Irish affairs does
any man. He has always maintained
an aloofness from party politics and
enjoys general popularity in all sec
tions- He continued:
The government was anxious to
seize the opportunity for an agree
ment between Sir Edward Carson and
John Redmond to put the home rule
act into immediate effect. but before
doing SO it felt bound to ascertain the
real sentiment of the Irish people,
which proved more unfriendly toward
the scheme than either the government
or it's Irish advisers had expected.
Home rule at the end of the war is
perfectly secure and the large measure
of agreement reached between Carson
and Redmond will doubtless be util-
lied to improve the terms of the
ultimate settlement. Talk about
'dashing the cup of freedom from the
lips of Erin is sheer nonsense 1t is,
however, true that some of the con-
tents of the cup were not to her taste
and she very sensibly prefers to wait"

SponSibiIity for Having
Mailed Articles
(By Assoniatct Press.)

AUGUSTA, Ca, Nov. 30.-Arguments
were begun this afternoon in the case Of
Thomas E. Watson, on trial in the fed
eral district court on the charge Of hav-
ing sent obscene matter through the
malls, Assistant District Attorney Miller
making the opening speech for the gov
eminent Previous to closing the evil
dence the defendant, on the stand, ad-
mitted responsibility for having mailed
the articles in question. which he pre-
viously had declined to do.
The defense had offered to go to the
Jury on the charge Of Presiding Judge
Lambdin and without argument, but the
government declined this offer. and 1t
was decided that each side would have
two hours for argument The defendant,
acting as his own leading counsel, an
nounced he would make the closing
speech
On resuming his statement to the
Jury today Watson took full respon-
sibility" for mailing the alleged obscene
matter cited In the indictment against
him. He had declined to do this earlier
in the trial although at his previous
trial he did so.
st had no physical connection with
the mailing" he said today, but knew
II would be mailed and take full re-
sponsibility for mailing It."
Continuing his statement, the defend-
ant asserted that he could para
phrase literal English translations OF the
Latin alleged to be obscene In such
manner that It would not offend the
proprieties' He also reiterated that the
Latin passages in question came from
Roman Catholic theologians of several
centuries ago. 1t had been explained by
the defense that 1t consisted of admoni-
tions for priests to make at the confess
sional.
Watson declared he had spent almost
a lifetime of study before writing the
serial story on the Roman Catholic
Hierarchy" parts Of which are cited in
the indictment, and asserted that before
publishing it he issued a prospectus of
1t.
"I was Immediately threatened by the
Roman Catholic hierarchy" he said.
On objection of the prosecution, this
was ruled out.
Watson then opened a package which
he said came to him from New York
City through the mail during the trial
and was addressed to him in care of the
clerk of the court. The package, he said,
contained a book similar to the one from
