Ii is reported in reliable quarters
that steps have been taken for the

guard (anti-Snn Fein organization)
for police duty at Belfast. Sir James
Craig. newly appointed "under sec

The conference between Sim Fein
military and civil leaders with the
moderstes in Ireland on a dominion
home rule scheme, which was In prog

according to Arthur O'Brien, Sim
Feiner who has frequently visited
Lord Mayor McSwiney in prison.
The Sim Feiners withdrew from
the conference as reult OF Premier
Lloyd Georges refusal to interfere In
behalf Of McSwiney. Asked about re-
ports that the Sim Feline plans wide
spread attacks and depredations in
the event of McSwiney's death.
OBrien said:
"I have no information about any
such plans. The British government
is acting in n state of desperation
