Highway Commissioner J. Denny
O'Noil's formal statement of last
night that he will support Senator
William C. Sproul for Governor and
ask his friends to do so because the
Senator stands for ratification OF the
prohibition amendment ends any
chance of third ticket in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t makes the fight between
the Republican and Democratic
parties. The amendment will be the
paramount issue.
The O'Neil statement had been ex-
pected. However, 1t was awaited with
interest because Mr.. O'Neil was un-
derstood to have been studying the
returns with relation to the legisla-
tive nominations very carefully.
There is nothing in the statement to
indicate that the Highway Commits
sioner cherishes any resentment
against his successful rival. On Cap
itol Hill there was to-day a notice
able interest in the campaign, al
though Governor Brumbaugh de-
clined to make any comment on the
O'Neil statement, which he said he
knew was coming.
The O'Neil headquarters have been
closed and it is apparent that the
man from McKeesport intends to be
regular.

Sim Fein Agents in This countryI
Alleged to Be involved
in Revolt.
GERMAN CASH BACKS PLAN
Plotted to Send Arms to Erin byi
u-Boats-BIow Was Ready to
Fall When Enemy Won
Channel Ports.

Washington. May 23.-Disclosursl
that the United States government has
gathered evidence In this country Of Z
conspiracies between Irish Sim Fein
leaders and German agents to preclpi-
tate a rebellion in Ireland was fol-
lowed by announcement that govern.
ment agents have uncovered similar
German intrigue with other nations
alistic groups in the United States.
German money, Ii was said, has been
used to finance agitation among ne
groes and among Films, Lithuanians
and others of the so-calied oppressed
nationaIities" which for years have
had nationalistlc grievances against
Russia or other anti-Germanic allies.
In mos cases this propaganda has
been carried on by Americans affiliated
with these groups, paid from some
mysterious source believed to be the
German government Chicago, New
York and Boston Irishmen are involved
In the conspiracy, according TO per-
slstent report. Some OF them are like
ly to be arrested soon and prosecuted
IS traitors as conspirlng with the
enemy.
This evidence, which may be made
public soon. Is understood TO show def
nitely that Irish leaders, mainly Sim
Fein sympathizers In the United
States, have been In touch with Ger
man representatives, who agreed To
furnish money TO finance rebellion In
Ireland and possibly to send arms and
ammunition to Ireland by submarines
or blockade runners. There was even
some discussion of the chances OF
sending German soldiers to take part
in warfare on irish soil.
The uprising was set for about this
time. when the Germans had planned
to reach the channel ports after their
great drive in France, and 1t was be-
lieved England would be thrown into
confusion by the German victories.
Ireland was to be freed entirely from
British influence If possible, and the
Germans counted str6nglyon the Irish
trouble to divert Great Britain's atten-
tion from the fighting in France and
at the channel ports at the very time
when Il would be most necessary for
the country to keep calm TO prevent a
German invasion.
Information concerning these plots
has been gathered by several investl-
eating agencies of the United States
government and turned over to the
state department, which forwarded IL
to representatives of the British gov
ernment. In many cases the informa-
tion provided leads by which British
secret agents found evidence of plot
ting in Ireland.

the result of an aerial fight. was bur
led on Monday with full military hon

above the ground. He had IL victories
to his credit. Lufbery's home was in
Wallingford, Conn.
The German machine which brought
Lufbery down was armed with two
machine guns. wit4 an operator for
each piece.
Lufbery's only wound, aside from
those he received when he crashed to
earth, was a bullet hole through the
thumb. Apparently the same bullet
punctured one of the gasoline tanks
of his machine.
The German machine was under
heavy antiaircraft fire several times
both before and after the air fight,
and one explosion Of shell upset the
enemy plane. but 1t managed to
straighten out again.
1t was about ten O'Clock in the morn
Ing when German triplane suddenly
| descended from the clouds, apparently
because of engine trouble, until 1t was
only some 1900 meters over the city
Of Toul. The American flyers were on
the alert and some of them headed for
the fighting line to await the enemy on
| his return.
Lufbery and the pilot of another ma
chine made after the Germans. who
quickly ran away from the direction
of the line, the two American ma
chimes following him. Eight miles
away from the enemy's line Lufbery
was seen to attack from under the
tail, but then he drew off, as IL his ma
chine gun had jammed. Two minutes
later he attacked again from the same
position, and almost Immediately his
machine burst into flames.
