IRISH PRISONERS

Cruel Treatment by Brit
ish Guards
RESUME FARLEY THURSDAY
BY the Associated Press

Cork. Oct. 1s.-The work ot de-
struction begun Sunday by the oc-
cupants Of the Spike Island camp
for interned prisoners when they became
enraged because they were not per-
mitted to attend mass was continued
as they carried on their operations was
plainly heard in Queenstown.
The buildings on the island, known as
Block D, were destroyed yesterday,
while another group known as Block A
was pretty we'll demolished today.
Volumes Of smoke were observed
ascending from tho island where the In
termed men, It was said, were burning
their sleeping kits. -Four of the pris-
oners have been badly injured.
The revolt Of the intc~ned prisoners
is attributed in Sim Fein quarters 10
alleged III treatment Of the men. Con-
ditions at the Bere Island Camp in
Bantry Bay are declared to be even
worse than at Spike Island. The Dali
Eireann representatives indicate their
expectation, however, that the work OF
the Joint commission appointed TO eX-
anime into conditions will remove the
grounds for complaint.
london, Oct. 1s.-By 1. P.>-The
conference between Irish leaders and
representatives OF tho BrlGSh Govern
ment will, It Is expected N Sim FeIn
quarters, be resumed Thursday The
Interruption yesterday WAS said to be
due solely TO the engagements of Lloyd
George, the Prime Minister, in con-
nection with the reopening Of ParliQ-
mont. Meanwhile, the committee Of the
conference, composed Of the other mem
bers. will hold sessions for the ad-
vancSment of the conferences work.
Several Irish experts have been sum
moned 70 London TO advise the Sim
Fein delegates and draw up reports for
the consideration Of the conference,
Among the most notable Of these is
Lionel Smith Gordon, leading au-
thority on rural reconstruction.
Mr.. Smith Gordon formerly was chtet
ca sistant to Sir Horace Plunkett in
the agricultural co operative movement.
He left this movement to found, in

''those memorandums were lost when
the Office was moved"
Pressed with questions, he went on
to say the exhibit was totally wrong
and that a true statement would show
total income for the fve-year pre-
Clarke period Of not more than S15,
600, accruing from the admission of not
more than $500 members at an average
of 81 head. Asked how the Klan
bookkeeper could possibly have multi
piled S15, 900 into $780, 900 in prepar
ing the exhibit, he contented himself
with answering the employe must have
been under misapprehension of tht
facts.
Chairman Campbell asked questions
about Edward Young Clarke, learning
he had been a Klansman only a short
time before he made tho contract under
which he got SO and the organization
50 out of each membership fee of $40.
He cited the statement submitted by
Simmons showed that out of the 50 al
lotment $171 ,432.87 had been turned
over to the Klan since June 1, 1920
Colonel Simmons could not state this
was correct. He said he could not tell

United States Senator Fletcher, Of
Florida. The bank which he helped
found was frequently raided by the
crown forces in the days before the
truce.
The concentration Of republican
troops in Ulster, alleged as the ground
for remobilizing the Ulster Volunteers,
is denied by Slim Feln headquarters
here. 1t Is declared thcre that the Sim
Fein COntingents in lister are smaller
than Ia any other part of the country,
although substantial forces are located
in the area of the six counties.
Belfast, Oct. 1S.-(By A. Pre-
ports that the Ulster volunteer force
wns being reorganized were verified IL
official quarters here today. It was
stated that Ulster OK service mon were
enrolling.
"Why shouldn't they, when the Sim
Feiners are drilling, even in Belfast"
was the comment in official quarters.
Colonel Spender, who formerly COM
manded the Ulster volunteers, resigned
on assuming the secretaryship Of tho
Ulster Cabinet, but the view was ex.
PRESSED that the differing Of the force
would present no trouble.
The belief is generally expressed here
that no difficulty will be found in re-
viving the volunteers in the belfast
area. The Ulster FL. Service Men :
Association. nearly all Of whose mem
bcrs were volunteers in the rre-war
days, is constituted on strictly party
lines, no Republicans or Nationnlists
being eligible. The members Of this
association are the strongest supporters
Of the anti boycott movement. At Hs-
burn last night 1000 Of them assembled.
and, under conmandants who are ex-
officers Of the british army, marched in
formation along a specified route. The
men carried no arms during their
march, although they were we'll
equipped in this respect.
Dublin, Oct. 1s.-(By A. P.)-The

Great Britain full fiscal freedom for Ire

that Colonel Simmons has by no means
succeeded In wiping out the charges
made against his organization BY the
manner in which he answered the ques-
tions showered on him during his long
cross examination.
"I have been in Congress long
time" said the member, "and l DON t

The Imperial Wizard was questioned
with special insistence about ku Klux

lawlessness, terrorism and fermentation
