Edward Murphy Severely
Wounded By Weapon in
Brothers Hands
WHILE HUNTING
FOR RABBITS
Shooting Was Accidental
Victim Likely to Re-
cover

Edward Murphy, l2yearold son OF
David Murphy, an employe on the
Boutwell,, Milne and Varnum quarry
and residing in the town of Williams.
town, was brought to the City hospital
late yesterday with a 22-calibre re-
volver bullet in his neck as the result
of little rabbit hunting expedition
with his elder brother, William Muir
ply, yesterday afternoon. An A-ray
examination was conducted al the hos.
pital this forenoon to determine the To-
cation of the bullet, the missile being
found embedded just under the right
ear.
The boys were out in the woods not
far from their home and became care
less in handling the weapon when no
game appeared. The revolver was in
the hands OF the older brother at the
time of the shooting, and the bullet
entered Edwards neck in front, just
missing the windpipe and lodging IN
the back of his neck. The cries for
assistance were heard BY persons re-
siding in the vicinity of the woods
where the shooting occurred and, in a
short time, the boy was carried to the
Presby home nearby and DR.. +, H. Bal
ley was summoned.
The wound bled freely and the boy
was in a weak condition when he was
brought to the hospital last night; in
fact .she was 30 weak that IL was de-
cided to postpone the operation for re-
moval of the bullet until to-day, fol-
lowing the X-ray examination,
Although it was generally considered
that the shooting was accidental, the
matter was investigated by Town
Grand Juror George Colby of Williams
town, who visited the place and inter-
viewed those who were cognizant of the
details of the case and the care of the
Young lad.
The Murphy family reside just over
the line in Williamstown, near the res
idence Of j. X. Piric. There are two
other boys and one girl in the family
besides the two boys directly connected
with the unfortunate affair Both the
latter boys attend school in Granite
vile.

To Appeal of League of Ma
tions to Be Mediator in
Armenia
THOUGH DELEGATES
EXPRESS HOPE
Rival Interests Of Euro
peans Are Said to Pre-
clude Their Intervention

Geneva, Nov. 26 tBy the Associated
Press) The attitude among delegates
of the assembly of the league of ma
tions toward the appeal of the league
TO President Wilson to act as mediator
in the Armenian situation appears to
be one of hope without expectation
that the United States will relieve Eu-
rope and the league of an embarrassing
question.
Behind the admitted necessity Of do
ing something for Armenia there is
conflict of European interests involved.
Great Britain, it is understood, would
look with great disfayor on interven-
tion by any power having rival inter-
ests. Action by the United States in
Armenia, it is held, would involve no
such complications.
In default Of action by President
Wilson general opinion here is that
France is tho country most likely to
offer favorable reply to the mediation
appeal made by the council Of the
league yesterday to the various powers
at the same time the message to Pres.
ident Wilson was sent.
Acceptance by France, however, IL
is understood. would be on condition of
full support by the other powers.
The activities of the assembly have
been transferred for the time being
from the hall of the reformation to
the headquarters OF the secretariat.
Here the committees and sub-commit
tees were holding sessions throughout
the day They will continue their la
bors until Tuesday next when the as
sembly will reconvene, hear the first
reports of the committees and take up
the resolution of George Nichol Barnes
of Great Britain, asking the council to
explain why it did not intervene TO
prevent the clash between the Poles
and the bolsheviki last summer.
Committee No. of the assembly
has finally settled upon the principle
Of its report on disarmament, the
French viewpoint prevailing. The rec
will be that disarma-
ment will be imposed only with due re-
gard for the security of the different
states
While a subcommittee is drawing
up this report the committee is taking
Up the question of an economic block
.de as an armof the league against Of
lending nations.

courthouse in Montpelier Tuesday, Nov.
80 at p. m.
The item on which the petition for a

pletion of the traction company's as
sets by the sale of cars and other

IN MOVEMENT
FOR FREEDOM
Prof. John MacNeill, Sim
Fein Member of Parlia-
ment, Was Also Arrested
Along With a Number of
Others i'm Big Raid.

Dublin. Nov 26 (Bv the Associated
press) - Arthur Griffith, founder of the
Sim Fein; Professor John MaeNeill,
Sim Fein member of Parliament for
Londonderry city and the National
University of Ireland; Professor Mac
Ncins son, and number of Others
were arrested to-day by the auxiliary
police.
Nr. Griffith was to have addressed
D meeting Of the Irish Self Determina-
tion league at Manchester next Sunday.
A statement issued from Dublin
castle read:
"Arthur Griffith was arrested at his
residence on ST. Lawrence road at a.
m. \ large quantity of literature was
taken from his house. No arms were
.found He was in bed at the time and
was taken away in motor lorry. He
made no statement. His arrest was ef-
fected without trouble
In the absence in America of Ea-
NOM de Valera, president of the Irish
republic, Arthur Griffith has been prob
ably the most active man i'll Ireland
for the cause of Irish freedom. 1t was,
only last night in an interview eahled
TO this country that he charged the
policy Of reprisals in Ireland was de-
termined upon by England more than
year ago and inaugurated last March
with the assassination of Lord Mayor
MacCurtain of Cork. Everybody in Ire
land deplored the bloodshed, Mr.. Grif-
fiSh said, but England started and
could get it stopped in "a hours if she
so wished At the outset of his inter
view Mr.. Griffith disclaimed any re-
sponsibiity for the operations of the
murder gang" the existence of which
was charged BY Sir Hamar Green
wood, chief secretary for Ireland, in a
recent speech. The real murder gang"
was in Dublin castle, Mr. Griffith de-
clared.
Arthur Griffith began to come into
prominence in the Sim Fein movement
in Ireland in 1917, and he presided at
the opening OF the Sim Fein confer
ence in Dublin in October of that year.
In by election in June, 1918, he was
elected to the house of commons for
East Cavan and was returned for this
constituency and northwest Tyrone in
the general election of the same year.
Like the other Sim Fein members,
however. he refrained from taking his
seat after the general election During
the hunger strike of Lord Mayor Mac
Swiney of Cork he was the author of
an appeal to President Wilson and all
the heads of governments ON behalf Of
the lord mayor.
Professor John MacNeill is profes
sor of law in the National University
Of Ireland. In May, 1916, he was found
guilty bv court martial of completely
in the Raster rebellion of that wear
and sentenced to life Imprisonment but
was released during 1917. During the
roundup of Sim Fein leaders by the
British the next year he was one of
the few prominent Sim Feiners who
was not arrested. In the general cleo
tion Of l0lS he was chosen to Parlia-
ment as a Sim Feiner, but did not
take his scat.
