selfadvertising blare of trumpet be-

self-advertising blare of trumpet be-
cause it was not damned through then
and there-and to give it final con-
sideration a special meeting of the
club was convened at the Sherman
House on the night of Tuesday, De-
cember IS. The attendance was not
remarkable for numbers or enthusiasm
1t was pointed out that, though the
| little Irish Fellowship Club might be
classed in the matter with the Three
Tailors of Tooley Street." the resolu-
ton when passed would be as an in
| strument by the decayed Redmonite
party in Ireland-or rather England,
| since Ireland recognizes them no
more-to humbug the Irish at home
through the corrupt Dublin newspap-
ers with the false notion that their
! kinsmen here are adverse to an Irish
Republic.
James V. O'Donnell, president of
the club, robust and handsome, and,
although young, with picturesque
wealth of snow white hair, conducted
the proceedings in his own quietly
gracious and conciliatory way-one of
the best liked and best natured men
| in Chicago, though now in temporary
vivid Irish anthema. He had long had
a lurking conviction that the said
club was "a bunch of stiffs and dubs";;
it is feared that he now has that con
viction worse than ever, although
through irony of fate in plastic mo-
ment, he was coaXed into accepting
the presidency.
The resolution was declared passed,
and the club received the big "B"
brand, previous to it's dissolution.
II now resign from this club" said
former President McGarry. They tried
to make him reconsider, but he got
more followers than opponents.

ate John Redmond, presuming to teach
loyalty to America to the intelligent
and patriotic Irish-American element,
which has always been foremost in 10y
atty and devotion, untarnished and
unchallenged, is something to make
demons litter and angels weep. In
Chicago, this self-elected representa-
tive of world democracy has been liv-
ing like prince at the superb and
high priced Blackstone Hotel, sending
out interviews" to newspapers and
angling for invitations to exploit his
peculiar brand of oratory at hen clubs
conveys the impression that every
Irish traitor, spy and informer who has
helped England against Ireland is now
entitled to come crawling forth from
his hole in inferno or elsewhere and
demand to be honored with statute
of marble on pedestal of gold
The Irish element in America, ma
tive and imported, is practically unit
in favor of world democracy and the
freedom and independence of small
nationalities, as outlined and intended
by President Wilson - Ireland, of
course, included. Among this loyal
and united body, the strongest prop of
the American Government, this man
O'Connor has come as disturbing fac
tor. The Irish Fellowship Club &C.
corded him all interested hearing and
even the hard shelled votaries of an
Irish Republic pure and undefiled treat
ed him with patience and federation.
Not satisfied with all this he aimed
capturing the club, claiming it to his
British Imperial chariot.
Bullion. John p. McGorry, former
president, and other responsible mem
bers of the club, promptly entered a
protest and denounced the presump-
ton to teach loyalty and insinuate dis
loyalty to America as an insult to the
Irish race.
So, when the obnoxious resolution
was put forward at the club luncheon
on Saturday, December Is, it was TEN

CLASH IN irish
CLUB OF CHICAGO
Threatened Breakup Of Organization.

Especial Correspondent
The inevitable has happened, and the
so-called Irish Fellowship Club, of Chi
cago, after a promising start and cheq-
uered career, which of late years has
trended TO utter degeneracy, is totter-
ing to dismal close.
s'They are all resigning," says Mich
ael J. Faherty, once president of the
organization. They don't understand"
Alas they understand only too we'll
the nature of the attempt, under the
guise of American patriotism, to turn
this quasi-Irish society into a sort of
branch of the Sons of st. George, or
some other English Imperial organiza-
ton. AS result of altered conditions
Irishmen of thought and action who
were the backbone of the club in it's
balmy days have been growing indif-
ferent and dropping out The present
detection, led by the resignation of
the spirited and level-headed John A.
McGarry, eX-president, indicated that
it will soon be as difficult to meet a
real Irishman in the Irish Fellowship
Club of Chicago as a live newspaper
man in the Chicago Press Club or a
"Red Indian on the shores of Manhat-
TAM"
The chief agent in bringing about
the disgrace, decline and fall of the
club is that itinerant, shady evange-
list of a repudiated political cult, T..
