LONG HUNGER STRIKE
Brother Surprised at Endurance
of Lord Mayor; End Ex-

London, Sept. 9.-Lord Mayor Mac
Sweeney, of Cork, who is incarcerated
in Brixton Jail where he has been on
hunger strike since August II, pass
cd a very bad night and complained
again this morning of dizziness, ac-
.cording to a bulletin issued today by
20 Irish elf-determinatiOn league
He also expressed numbness in his
hanos ana arms and physician who
attended him considered him muck
weaker than he was yesterday. The
Lord Mayor was visited last night by
Father Patrick MacSweeney, cou-
sin, who said he was surprised to
find the prisoner so we'll
Crises Comes Soon
He expressed belief that the crisis
would not come before three or four
lays. The noon bulletin issued by the
league stated that signs of atrOphy
Of the skin had appeared, and that as
I consequence the mayors arms were
being massaged and bandaged.
After visiting Mayor MacSweenev
last evening the prison doctor told his
sister, Annie, that her brother was
in grave condition, according to d
statement issued by the league today
and that there could be only one end
o his continued hunger strike.
Hope for Release
Friends OF the lord mayor, his wife
laid were much encouraged at the
presence in England of Premier Lloyd
George, who returned from Lucerne
yesterday, and they hoped that some
thing might ehsue favoring the Irish
prisoner.
Former Premier Asquith, answering
an appeal for his intervention in be-
,alf OF Mayor MacSweeney, said:
T think the decision to allow the
lord mayor Cord to die in prison is a
political blunder Of the first magni-
tude. l would gladly intervene if any
appeal Of mine could lead even now tc
wiser counsels prevailing, but l feal
hat the latest declaration Of the min
lister precludes any such hope"
An inspired statement issued last
hight indicates that Premier Lloyd
George is willing to accept guarantees
rom Sim Fein headquarters that po-
ice murders will cease, and that he
does not require personal guarantee
from Lord Mayor MacSweeney.
