'Donnybrook Fair
Fights Feature of
Broadway Forum
Auditors Eye Blackened;
2Held at Friends of Irish
Freedom Meeting
Attacks on England
Speakers Accuse Vigilantes
of Being Pro-
British

Four or five thousand persons had
clustered about the Broadway forum
Of the Friends of Irish Freedom, at
Thirty-seventh Street, last night, when
Stephen W. Johnson climbed upon the
soap box Even if there were no Vigil
lantes present, there was no dearth Of
ears acute for supposed treason, ard
Johnson had not proceeded far when
a penetrating hiss arose.
1t came from Henry 7. Price, of 5S5
West 135th Street, president of the
Price Trade Publishing Company.
Hes kissing the Constitution"
exclaimed Patrick ]. Hoey, of Elm
hurst, Queens, vigilant listener, who
stood at Mr.. Prices elbow.
Mr.. Price turned, and, seeing that
the remark concerned him, planted his
fist in one of the eyes that regarded
him with suspicion. The crowd surged
about them, and for a moment it looked
like Donnybrook Fair, without the
shillelahs. Then the police forged to
the centre of the disturbance and
emerged with Mr.. Price and Mr.. Hoey.
Charges Against Prince
At the West Thirtieth Street station
Hoey's unchanged eye snapped with
Wrulence as he preferred a charge OF
disorderly conduct against Price. 1t
was in vain that the prisoner sought
TO explain that he had intended no in
suit to the Constitution and had not
even heard the speaker refer to that
document in fact. He thought that
Johnson had finished speaking and that
the proper time had come to hiss. he
said. The lieutenant, after another
look at Hoey's eye, refused to enter
tain a counter charge of disorderly
conduct offered by Price, and the party
started for night court.
The Friends Of Irish Freedom mean
time had gone merrily on with their
programme, with the result that while
Shaun Conway was speaking one of
his alert audience loudly called for
volunteers TO help lynch him. The
only response was from Edward J. Fall
lent, of % West Sixteenth Street, who
directed two policemen to the inter-
rupter.
He, too, was taken to the night

Many Teutons Give
Financial Aid to
Peoples Council
5000 Germans Have Con.
tributed to Cause"
Says Secretary

One-third Of the contributors TO tbs
treasury of the Peoples Council, now
engaged in urging peace, are of Ger
man origin. according to Miss Rebecca
Shelly, financial secretary of the or
ganization. Miss Shelly further states
that the names Of the largest contrib
utors to the councils funds cannot be
made public because of the desire Of
those contributors not to be known in
the matter.
Miss Shelly's admission that Ger
mans make up 80 large a part OF the
paying membership of the council--she
said there are 5000 who have contrib
uted to "the cause"-wss in reply 70 a
question as TO the accuracy of a re-
port that one-half of those who pay are
of German origin.
81 do not know whether these persons
are citizens or not, but the names
would indicate German origin" she
said.
Names Looked" German
This statement, made in the presence
Of Louis Weitzenkorn, acting press
agent for the council, led that official TO
Immediately challenge the accuracy of
the financial secrerary's statement.
"That isn't So" he said. "The trouble
is Miss Shelly does not distinguish be-
tween German and Jewish names"
THAT may be-" retorted the secre-
tsry, "but they look German TO me-"
OF the larger contributors to the
fund Miss Shelly named two, stpulat-
ing that the names must not be pub
lished. One was the name Of woman
widely known because of her promi-
hence in fighting for labor Until yes
terdsy it was not suspected that she
had any dread of publicity.
The other is the name OF a woman
whose husband is well known in poll
tics and whose father is prominent in
banking circles.
"They have asked that we do not
give their Names" said Miss Shelly.
"Why, do not know. IL may be that
they are just like a gentleman who
came in here yesterday man from
the Middle West. He gave a check.
with the understanding that his name
be not used.

lis was selected for the conference you

ton, probably none"
Defends Loyalty Of Irish.
johnson declared that the Irish were
loyal Americans and were lnsulted oy
the accusations of the Vigilantes, the
socalled patriots" He mentioned John
Hehir. who was fined fifteen dollars by
Magistrate Simms following fracas IN
which the American flag was flung on
the street and torn.
"Since that time" said the speaker
"a man who was present at the netting
has admitted that he and not Henri
was guilty Of the offense charged. The
whole trouble was caused by the pres
ence of a woman THO carried British
flag in her left hand and a small Amer
lean flag in her right. The American
flag she dropped TO the pavemena her
self and the man who has come Tor
ward in defense Of Hehir said that ne
had picked il up after accidentally step
ping on it."
Johnson expressed the opinion that
the flag episode and the arrest OF
Hehir was part of plot concocted by
enemies of the Friends Of Irish Free
dom.
Girls Sell Copies of Bull
Young women dressed in white with
sashes of green. white and orange silk,
circulated among the crowd selling
copies of Bull" a publication which
has been barred from the United States
mail, ard getting signatures to petit
ton to the President to use his intiu-
ence in aid of Ireland.
Frank 0'Neill," who was introduced
from the soapbox as "a seaman in the
American navy" and whose uniform
corroborated the statement, was the
last speaker After urging his hearers
TO enlist, the sailor announced that he
had no admiration for the nation that
had oppressed the land of my forefath-
ers," statement which aroused more
enthusiasm than his appeal for re"
cruits.
A group of soldiers evinced keen in
terest in the reference to England
which had brought applause from the
crowd and its members were edging
their way toward the soapbox with de-
termined mien when policemen inter
vened. The soldiers declared their in
tention Of reporting O'Neill to his COM
handing officer. According to the po-
lice the sailors name is James II. W.
ONeill and he is attached to the gun
merry instruction station in the Grand
Central Terminal.
With three cheers for the Stars and
Stripes and three more for "home rule
and free Ireland" the meeting ad-
journed and traffic on Broadway was
uninterrupted.

Union Cooperates
With Socialists

Pursuing the investigation a little
further. it would have been discov-
cred that the American Union Against
Militarism cooperates with the Ma
tional Socialist party, the Woman's
Peace Party, the Federated Union
for Democracy, the No-Conscription
League and various other snti-con-
scription, un-Americsn and anti-pa-
triotc organizations.
Under a false cloak of patriotism
and the pretence Of cooperation with
the government the real leaders of the
American Union Against Militarism
have let in a lot of well intentioned
men and women to support anarchy,
revolution and forcible resistance to
| the law in the most violent form in
which those things are advocated in
this country.
The No-Conscription League, with
which the American Union Against
Militarism announces officially that it
cooperates, carries on it's letter-heads
the names of Leonard D. Abbott, Sec
rotary, and NJ. E. Fitzgerald, financial
secretary, but it's circular letters have
been signed: Cordially, Emma Gold
man." One of the letters said:
I'VE are sure that you are inter
ested in the anti-war agitation. You
cannot fail to realize that the pa
triotic claptrap which is now ptopa-
gated on such a huge scale by the
press, the pulpit and the authorities
only represents a desperate effort to
blind the people to the real issues
confronting them. The main issue
now is the Frustrating Of Amer
lea.
Realizing this, we appeal TO you
for moral and financial support TO
enable US to carry on an effective
campaign by meetings, manifestos
and, above all. through the channels
of Mother Earth and The Blast"
Mother Earth" is Emma Goldmans

Negro Problem
Puzzle to Army

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-It is
premature TO say that the lawlessness
of the negro regulars at Houston, Tex,
will lead to a change in the War De-
partment's plans for training the negro
draft troops and National Guardsmen
at the same environments with the
white soldiers in the South. II 5
known, however, that no problem con-
nected with the system of environments
and the National Army has given the
officials greater concern and anxiety
than the race question.
There are two sets Of opinion IN the
War Department concerning the prop
able number of negro troops to be
drafted in the South. Some authHities
believe the ratio will be forty-seVen
Southern negroes to fifty-three South
ern whites. Other officials think that
owing TO the prevalence of diseases
among negroes, the proportion Oh
blacks will be considerably smaller.
But in any event, the number Will be
sufficient to create a problem that the
government must deal with. ana dls-
passionate students Of the situation De
lieve the nation will have an opportu,l-
ty to make great strides toward soiu-
ton of the entire race problem IL inc
government solves the lesser prorlem
of training the negro troops.
One of the principal reasons Tor the
decision of the War Department 70
Mace the negroes in Southern canton
ments was said to-day to be the TACT
that most of the colored men who are
being drafted are ignorant, undlscl-
Mined. and in need of the restraining
nresence of white troops. They would
be unwieldly, it was thought, with col
ored officers, and will be trained oy
white superiors.
II is believed that the incidents at
Houston have crystallized sentiment IN
many Southern communities against
the sending of negro troops TO their
reighborhood, and if no change is made
in the War Departments plans for
placing all the negro soldiers IN the
South, the Southern Senators and Keep
resentatives in Congress are expected
to demand that such measures shall be
| taken as to guarantee the localltles
where the blacks are trained against
such occurrences as those at Houston.
So far as is known no Northern nor
| Western community had asked the War
Department to send negro troops to IT,,
and there is a belief that they are not
desired in either the North nor the
West. One argument advanced IN
/ favor of training the negroes in the
/ South is that the negroes brought up
/ in the South know the conditions there,
and are not as a rule inclined toward
giving the whites undue trouble, diff
! fcultfes with the blacks usually arising
| from the acts of individuals. Some
apprehension is felt among Southerners
over the manner in which Northern
negroes will conduct themselves.

negroes in the South, dictated the FOL
lowing statement to-day:
"0f course the Houston, Tex, mutlny
is deplorable, and ! have very grave
suspicious that in this particular in
stance the investigation will disclose
that il was attributable 10 a very mean
grade OF liquor overip dulged in by
negro soldiers.
1.-THE mobilization of large numbers
of negroes for military purposes, un-
disciplined, unframed, and in a large
measure uneducated, without proper
restraining influence will be menace
to any community, North or South; but
we must not lose sight of the fact that
the negro is an American citizen, and
the most that any man can give to his
country is his life, and that If properly
handled, properly disciplined and prop
erly trained they will make good SOL
diers.
1.-THE question involved at this time
and Of paramount importance is purely
a racial one. There is no distinction
between the attitude Of the people OF
the North and South when this comes
down tc d rock bottom proposition. The
people in one section may make all
sorts of overtures, for obvious reasons,
to this race, but when it comes to a
question of daily and intimate associa-
ton the sections are identical IN their
disposition.
81 would suggest as one remedy for
the prevention Of repetition of any
outbreak such as has occurred at Hous-
ton that trusted white officers during
the period of training be put in charge
of all munitions, side arms and other
instruments of war that may be used
by the troops. in case of mutiny or
riot. This think imperative.
ultimately, for the avoidance Of
friction between the police authorities
and the Federal soldiers there should
be absolute cooperation to the extent
of state and municipal authorities, per-
hitting the provost duties being per-
formed by white soldiers, as invariably
an attempt by a municipal officer to
arrest a soldier in uniform brings about
trouble.
al anticipate no further trouble with
these troops. as the Houston riot will
certainly awaken our most efficient
War Board to the urgent necessity OF
handling the mobilization Of these
troops with great caution and circunn-
spection"
