ton, the Sim Feiners nominated can
didateS for several Offices.
This developed a positive contest, the
movement was placed under the ban by
Irish parlia mentary leaders. and it
soon became an independent political
party.
AS far back as 1908 it possessed
twelve out of eighty members Of the
Dublin common council and board of
aldermen and was similarity represent
ed in other cities of Ireland. The men,
berS nominated a candidate for the
house of commons, Notwithstanding
that the first plank in their platform
demanded the complete boycott of the
British parliament.
For Irish Legislature.
This first plank provided for a ma
tional Irish legislature endowed with
moral authority to enact laws and rec
ommend policies for the adoption of the
Irish people. 1t was also proposed to
establis an independent consular serv-
ice Of Irishmen in the principal CAPT.
tails and commercial centers of the
world where Irish produce might be
marketed. These consuls were to act
Independently of Great Britain's repre-
sentatives and devote themselves en-
tirely to Irish interests.
Other planks included the absolute
boycott Of the British army and navy,
the British civil service and the con-
stabulary and the advocacy of a plan
whereby natives of Ireland in America
would invest their money in the dsvel-
opment of Irish industries and re-
sources.

Investigation of Attacks
Made on President Wilson
by Irish-American Papers

NEW YORK April 2s.-An investiga-
ton was begun today at the office of
the United States district attorney to
determine whether crime had been
committed by persons responsible for
attacks on President Wilson and the
national administration that have ap-
pesred in Irish American papers pub
lished here since the outbreak OF the
revolution in Dublin. Copies of these
editorials will be examined, it was said
by one Of the assistant district at
torneys. who has been prominent in the
investigation of alien conspiracies.
The attention of the federal author
tiles was first aroused by an editorial
statement that information which led
to the sinking of the German ship
which attempted to land arms and am
munition on Irish soil came from q
member of the Washington administra-
tion ION the orders of President VIII
SON" This declaration has been author
itatively denied in Washington.
Col Patrick j. Wallace, commander of
a Connemara brigade of the Irish Vol
unteers. who is now in New York, is
authority for the statement that the
present situation in Ireland was not
fostered in Germany nor in America.
10000 Irish Volunteers Enrolled.
The plans Of the Irish volunteers,
he said. have been ready ever since
the first talk of Consumption was heard
in Ireland. At the time of the revolt
there were 5000 fully armed and fully
trained volunteers in Dublin. Out
through the country there were $4,000.

Reasons for Declaring Martial Law.
In discussing yesterdays dispatch re-
garding signs of unrest in parts Of
Ireland outside of Dublin. he said:
This statement doubtless refers to
certain localities where for a very long
time there have been small centers of
discomfort, and in view of all these
circumstances II is not the least sur
prising that IL has been thought proper
to place the whole country, nominally
for the time being. under martial law.
