MACSW|NEYS FAMILY
ACCUSES GOVERNMENT
Alleges Distorted Reports as to
Lord Mayors Condition-Hunger
Striker Brighter.

LONDON, September 25 (by the AS
ISOLATED Press).-Terence MacSwiney.
lord mayor of Cork. passed a better
night at Brixton prison last night,
and, consequently, was more refresh
ed this morning, said a bulletin is
sued by the Irish DIFFERENTIATION
League this forenoon.
MacSwiney had a few hours of sleep,
out was said to be in a state of ex-
treme weakness, and able to whisper
only couple of words to relatives
who visited him. The severity of the
pains in his head. from which he suf-
fered yesterday, was decreased, it was
said.
LONDON, September ga state
ment issued today over the signature
of members of the family of Terence
MacSWiney, charges the British press
with distorting reports concerning the
lord mayors condition. 1t asserts that
the government asked the Newspaper
Proprietors' Association, that "if GER
tain information should come to their
knowledge to withhold it from pub
lication."
The statement announces also that
the MacSwiney family will cease to
give to the British press any state
Frequent bulletins, however, still will
be issued to foreign press representa-
tives in London.
It was stated at the offices of the
Newspaper Proprietors' Association to-
day that no communication had been
received from the government con-
corning Lord Mayor MacSwiney.
AT the commencement of the strug-
gle at Brixton prison." says the state
ment issued by the MacSwiney family.
1.-The English press treated the matter
as fairly as could be expected, but as
the interest of the public of England
became stirred by the press reports.
the government became apprehensive
and issued note to the newspaper as
sociat ion, and after that to the family
and Father Dominic (the lord mayors
chaplain) saying we have all been
victims of this campaign of false
hood"
The family then charges the home
office with issuing statements which,
while not false, are purposely mis-
leading"
Denial is made at the home office
that the government has made any
attempt to influence the newspapers.

CORK, Ireland, September 24.-An
attempt was made on the life of Maj
Gen. Strickland, commander in south

he was driving with two friends as
it came down Patrick street hill and
rounded the corner leading into Nc
Curtain street near the docks. Gen

It was understood that Gen. Strick

machine returned the fire as the car
sped on.
A sixteen-year-old boy. by
stander. received a flesh wound in
the arm. The members of the at
apparently escaped.
While on the way to the post office
to file this dispatch the correspondent
of the Associated Press was halted
by soldiersi and, although he offered
to show them his curfew permit, was
taken to Bridwell prison. Arriving
there, however. he was speedily re-
leased.
To add to the disturbed situation
in Cork, a serious epidemic of typhoid
fever has broken out and the hos
pitfalls are filed with patients.

all his life had he been more puzzled.
What was Farmer Browns boy try

Tie sunny place right in front of where
Buster was hiding, and he seemed to
be very intent on something. but what
THAT something was Buster couldn't
make out.

He went from flower to flower. Pres

which Busy Bee was hard at work
Slowly and carefully Farmer Browns

box and put the cover on.

watched Busy Bee. OF course. Busy
Bee was very indignant and flew
about inside that little box, all the
time buzzing angrily. But it didn't
take her long to discover that honey

she forgot that she was a prisoner.
She forgot everything but the fact
