ing raids In ireland of Sim Fein docu-
ments alleged to give details of a con-

head of the Sim Fein, and L. J.. Dug
gan, Sim Fein member of Parliament,
have been taken to Mount Joy prison.
1t has not been decided whether they
will be among those selected for the
B~allykinlar internment camp. Intern
ment there, according to authorities,
would be n concession" as heretofore
such prisoners have been held merely
as common criminals"
Unusual activity was displayed by
the crown forces and the thorough
searching of premises downtown indi-
Gated that the authorities were taking
all precautions.
What is described as the first of
many internment camps for the Irish
Republican army, it is authoritatively
stated, will be brought into operation
shortly. 1t is situated at Ballykinlar,
in Dundrum bay, County Down, and is
capable of accommodating 1000 pris-
oners. 1t is asserted prisoners will be
liable to be interned without trial, and
that membership in the Irish Repub-
lican army will be sufficient reason
for internment.
Other camps are in course of prepar-
alton.
Further raids have occurred In Dub
lin. 1t is reported that the roundup
the last V days has resulted in 200
arrests.
A part of the military returning

Newcomb's Statement

New York, Nov. 23.ANewcomb
Carlton, president of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. declared
tonight that his company has gen.
eral authority under an act of Con-
eress to lay cables in all pavigable
waters lin the United States, and a
specific permit from the secretary of
war.
Mr.. Carlton made this assertion in
a formal statement which he issued
in connection with his company's
application in the courts of the Dis
trict of Columbia for nsinjunction
to restrain the secretary of the navy
from interfering with its plans to
extend it's telegraph lines from Mi
ami, Fla, to Miami Beach.
Last April" he said, 1.-The West
ern Union Telegraph Company COM
menced the construction of wires
along the Causeway over Biscayne
Bay, which separates Mama from
Miami Beach. There are two draw
bridges in the causeway and follow
ing usual procedure and in order to
avoid interruption to navigation, a
short cable is laid on the bottom Of
the bay at each of these drawbridges.
THE Western Union has general
authority usher an act of Congress
to lay cableAdn all navigable waters
in the United States. In addition to
this authority, it holds specific per-
init for this work from the secretary
of war. The purpose of the con-
struction was to improve the con-
nection from Miami to Key West.
the present connection being an un-
satisfactory temporary affair to meet
the requirements of government
dredging operations.
Notwithstanding the unaues
toned right of the telegraph COM
pany to improve its system, further
endorsed by the approval of the war
department, the navy department
has for months arbitrarily inter-
fered with the progress of the work
by force of arms and stated that If
the cable was laid, they, the navy
department, would Immediately cut
it. We are informed that this action
was taken at the request Of the state
department, although the state de-
partment has no jurisdiction what
ever over the extension of the tele-
graph system.
I'VE have made diligent inquiry
during the last eight months to en-
deavor to ascertain what objection
there was to our proceeding with
this work and although we have
made repeated circumstances to the
state department we have been met
only with the repeated promise OF
that department that they would at
once straighten the matter. We are
as completely in the dark today as
we were eight months ago except
that we now know that the power
of the armed forces of the United
States has been used to prevent law
