United Press Leased Wire

CHICAGO, June 23.-One thousand
troops were modified here today on
orders of Governor Len Small and held
in readiness to move into the William-
son county coal mine district in case
of further rioting.
The governor, who has already sent
telegrams to local county authorities
asking what steps have been taken to
prevent further trouble and prosecute
the guilty, said he would wait "few
hours longer" before taking any furth-
er steps.
"Those guilty of this outbreak must
be punished, the governor said. "a
full and comprehensive investigation
should be under way now."
Attorney General Quits
Lack of funds will prevent any state
aid in investigation of the William
son mine war massacre, Attorney Gen.
eral Edward j. Brundagee said today.
"The appropriation for funds for
such general investigation work was
vetoed by Governor Small and in case
the Williamson officials need help, l
will be unable to send it. No other de-
partment of the state government can
participate in such work" " he declared.
Williamson county will be bankrupt
for so years as a result Of rioting near
Herrin, legal authorities believe.
The county is liable for damages and
must pay not to exceed $4,000 for each
death.

United Mine Workers are not to any

Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers, declared today in formal
statement issued here.
"Ranks of the strikers are infested
with thousands of detectives and Sc
cret service operatives whose employ
ment by coal companies depends upon
their ability to provoke violence and
disturb public tranquility. We have fre-
quently called attention to this fact
before investigation committees of con-

Irish Republicans
GiueBritish Troops
72Hours to Leaue
In War Utir71atun1
United Press Leased Wire

DUBLIN, June 23.-Rory 'Connor
commander of the Irish republican
army insurgents, has sent an ultimatun
to Lloyd George that unless British
troops evacuate Dublin within 72 hours
military action will be taken, 1t was
reliably reported here today.
All British troops on leave were hast
lily recalled today to barracks, in Ire
land.
Murder Ring Marked Many
LONDON, June 23.-Investigation to
determine if James o 'Brien, one of the
assassins of Field Marshal Sir Henry
Wilson, is an American started here
today. The police received informa-
ton, unverified, o O'Brien is United
States citizen.
A great roundup Of Sim Fein sus-
poets in London continued this evening.
Seventeen, captured last night, who
were to have been released, were held
at the last minute and others are
sought.
Other prominent British officials, in
cluding Lloyd George, have been mark
ed for assassination by an Irish rebel
murder ring, the police believe today
from disclosures following the murder
of Wilson.
Bomb Campaign Planned
The London police have captured sen
sational documents disclosing 4 conspir-
acy to kill several prominent person
ages, as well as plans for a campaign
of outrages throughout England.
The inquest into Sir Henry Wilson s
murder will be held Monday.
The slayers of the famed field mar
shal, Ulster defense chief, were given
a preliminary hearing in Westminster
police court today and were remanded
for a week.
Three factors led the police and mil
itary authorities to suspect that Will
son s death may have been only the
first blow of widespread murder plot
against opponents of republican Ire
land:
A quantity of arms and munitions,
including hand grenades and gelinite
within a house stone s throw of where
Sir Henry was shot down, was discov
cred.
Evidence of 16 men and woman ar
rested for questioning last night.
Had Help in Assassination
Stories of witnesses to the shooting
of Wilson, who agree that apparent ac
completes of the assassins were in the
neighborhood and attempted to divert
the chase following them
1t was authoritatively stated today
that the assassins, James o 'Brien and
James o Connolly, operated in conjunc-
ton with a large organization. Both
were connected with the Irish republi-
can army, in what capacity was not
made clear. O'Connelly had been en-
plOyed as a night Waterman at Rich
mond House terrace, the government
buildings just opposite the entrance on
Downing street, on which Lloyd
George s residence is located. Both
murderers, it was said, resided at Croy-
don, near the Airdrome, for some time.
