British Officers Cited
For Contempt of Court
Macready and Strickland Defy
Habeas Corpus Writs; Arrest
Ordered by Master OF Rolls
Special Cable to The Tribune

Copyright. 1921, New Yorl, Tribune Inc
DUBLIN, July 29.-For contempt of
court which is said to be unprece-
dented in British law, Charles O'Con-
nor. the Master Of the Rolls, to-day
issued writs of attachment, equivalent
to warrants for arrest, against Cen
eral Sir Nevil Macready, military
commander in Ireland; Major General
Sir Edward P. Strickland, commander
in Munster; the Governor of Limerick
prison and the commandment at the
Limerick military barracks.
The issuance of the writs resulted
from the fact that the military author
tiles named had ignored writs Of
habeas corpus demanding the produc-
ton before the court Of two men held
prisoners by the military authorities,
one at Cork under sentence of death
for having ammunition in his posses
sion and the other at Limerick under
similar sentence for levying war
against the crown.
The masters action is the most re-
cent development in the clash between
the military and judicial authorities
in Ireland The court holds that the
death penalty in the two cases men
toned Is not sanctioned by British
law. Despite the refusal of the mill
tary authorities to produce the men.
and their threat to appeal the case to
the House of Lords, it is believed that
IN view of the delicateness of the polit-
zeal situation in Ireland the govern
n.ent will order the military to comn1v
with the writs.

Harding Notified Legion
Opposes Pardon of Debs

INDIANAPOLIS, July 29.-Promis-
ing fight if Eugene V. Debs and other
war prisoners are pardoned at this
time, John G. Emery, national COM
mander of the American Legion, to-
day wired President Harding that such
action would be interpreted as a
license to disregard law and order.
The Legion commander assured the
President that no action the Admins
tratlon could take would draw the fire
of ex-service men more promptly or
unltedly than the parole of Debs.
The action was prompted by reports
that the President had received dele
cations from numerous organizations
urging such pardon, and that the
matter would have early consideration.
Legion officials who have watched
developments in this case decided it
was time to act. Hundreds of tele-
grams from all parts of the country

from individual Legion posts.

had anything to do with the British
Embassy calling off dinner in his

himself with towel and started back
into the bath room.
Can't you say something further?s
Inquired the reporter.
What more do you want?" de-
manded Northcliffe. ~ said it was a

The cablegram to the King was in
reference to Lloyd Georges attack on
Northcliffe because of an alleged inter
view by Lord Northcliffe in which the
King was quoted as asking Lloyd
George when he was going to stop kill
ing Irish people.
Tonight Lord Northclitfe attended
Che big formal dinner. given by Mrs
Edward 3. Mclean, wife of the pub
Usher of The Washington Post, which,
as. told this morning, was hurriedly
substituted for the dinner originally
planned by the embassy, the calling
off of which started the fireworks.
Early in the day it was stated at
the embassy that Sir Auckland Geddes
the British Ambassador, would attend
the Mclean dinner in Lord North
cliffe's honor. Later in the day the
embassy announced that he would not.
No explanation was made as to the
why's and wheTefores, leading to specu-
lation as to whether cable advices in
structing Sir Auckland to stay away
had been received between the two
statements.

Washington correspondents.
When the signal came that the Pres
ident would receive the correspondents
Lord Northcliffe trailed along, in the
center OF small group. The President
spied him, however, and insisted that
the viscount come "down front" where
he might be sure to see and hear all
that went on. Lord Northcliffe listened
keenly as the President outlined the
business transacted earlier by the Cab
met, and to the fire of questions
directed at the President: The pub
Usher himself did not ask the Presi-
dent any questions, though from time
to time he turned to the newspaper men
about him and in a whisper asked for
information on some point which the
Executive was discussing. He was en-
thusiastic over the conference.
What a wonderful connecting link
between the government and the peo-
ple," was his comment. He entered an
automobile soon after, and went to the
Senate press gallery, where he highly
complimented the corps of Washington
correspondents.
Lord Northcliffe left Washington
tonight for Vancouver, where he will
take passage for tour of the Pacific

Bill Before Resting
From The Tribume's Washington, Bureo


WASHINGTON, July 29.-Heat made
to-day's Cabinet meeting brief. The
President outlined the results of recent
conferences on legislation with Senators
and Representatives and indicated there
was growing impression in the House
to order recess of month. Such a
recess, it is felt, would afford the SEN
ate Finance Committee an excellent
chance to study the bills sent to them
by the House.
The President told the Cabinet mem
bcrs that from his experience he could
sympathize with Senators who complain
that in most cases the House does not
allow the Senate committees sufficient
time for the study of measure.
1t was indicated that general agree
ment has been reached in the House not
to consider recess until the revenue
bill is out Of the way. The President
expects that to happen between August
Is and 20, and in the meantime the
House will consider other pieces Of
emergency legislation.
