ARRESTED ON
FRAUD CHARGE
Republican Leader Says He
Is Being Used AS An
Example
DENIES ACCUSATIONS
Phillips Sees Move to Show NOn-Par-
tisanship Is Released on $4,000
Bail.

Washington, June 6.-John L..
Phillips, chairman Of the Republican
State Committee of Georgia, was held
in 5000 bail by United States Com
missioner Isaac r. Hit yesterday on
a charge of conspiring to defraud the
United States. sworn to by Marcus
Borchaut, special assistant to the At
torney General.
Indignant that warrant had been
secured against him prior to any grand
Jury action. Mr.. Phillips Immediately
charged that politics was responsible.
He asserted that in an attempt to show
that the war frauds proceedings be-
gun by the Department of Justice,
were unbiased and not partisan he, a
Republican, was selected.
Phillips arrived in Washington from
Philadelphia at $3.50 o'clock this af-
ternoon to answer the accusations
against him and was arrested at the
Union Station by Deputy Marshal
Weaver. warrant having been out
standing since Saturday night. While
a search was in progress he learned
in Philadelnhia of the Department Of
Justice action and returned to face
the charge.
After conference between George
F. Sullivan. attorney for Phillips, and
John w. H. Grim. Assistant Attorney
General. who caused the warrant to be
sworn. Phillips waived examination.
Bond was produced by the Fidelity and
Denosit Company Of Maryland.
All the allegations against Phillips
were denied by him in detail. The
company which bonded him still holds
the S500.000 bond required when the
lumber sales contract he had with the
Government was executed. he said. No
effort has been made to foreclose on it.
He asserted that the lumber he OBJ
taind from the Government had been
bought and maid for and there had
been no consDiracy in existence during
the transaction.
The first disclosure of the Govern
ment's hand in this particular one of
the so-called war fraud cases came
during the arraignment of Mr.. Phil
lius. Appearing for the Department
of Justice were Mr.. Grim. who is in
charge of all criminal matters for the
department: Special Assistant Attor-
nev-General II. W. Anderson. of Vir-
ginia. and Mr.. Borchant, the COM
plainant.

SOUTHERN irish
ASK INQUIRY OF
BORDER AFFRAY
Provisional GOvernm ent
Denies Troops Fired First
on Crown Forces
NO CAUSE. is CLAIM
Saws Attack Was Without Warning
Expect Resumption of Activity
Along Front Soon.

Dublin, June 6.-Michael Collins,
head of the Provisional Government
takes most serious view of the Brit
ish shelling of Pettigoe in Free State
territory and has demanded from the
British authorities full inquiry into
the circumstances.
1t has been supposed that the Irish
troops at Pettigoe were irregulars, not
under control of the Provisional Gov
ernment, but an official communique
issued last night from Beggars' Bush,
Headquarters of the Irish Republican
Army, declares that there were no
Irish troops in that district except
those of the regular Republican Army.
1t is denied in the communique that
the British troops were at any time
fired on, and the British Army state
ment that in consequence of the shoot
ing of a motorcar driver Pettigoe was
shelled is contradicted. The driver,
il is asserted, was not killed until long
after the shelling, when there was an
interchange of shots between the Brit
ish and the retreating Irish troops.
According to the Beggars' Bush
statement. one shell was fired while
the people were at mass, and eight
others without warning or provoca-
tion Immediately afterward. Seven
of the Irish troops were killed and sew
eral captured. The British at present
occupy the hill and vantage points Tor
two miles on the Donegal side, and all
roads are traversed by British ar
mored cars.
In any circumstances the joint ap-
peal of DeValera and Collins to the
electors appealing for the support of
the electors for the coalition panel IN
the coming elections and asking that
other candidates withdraw in the ma
tional interest issued yesterday eveH-
ing is likely to have the effect of dis
couraging candidates against the Sim
Fein ticket, and the Pettigoe incidents
are considered an aid in bringing
about solidarity for securing no con-
tests for many Of the seats.
