THIRD WARNING
SENT MINISTER
Threat of Death Tackled 10 Door at
Home Of the Rev. II. &.
Marsh

Leesburg, Va, Dec. 2S.-Follow-
ing an unsuccessful attempt to burn
the home of the Rev. II. c. Marsh,
pastor Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South Of Middleburg, about
Is miles south of this town, on De-
cember 16, after an unsigned postal
card had been mailed bearing threats
against the ministed and steward
in his church, a crude paper threat
ening the pastor with death was
found on last Saturday on the door
of the woodhouse of his home. This
building had been set on fire a week
earlier.
The first threat was conveyed by
an unsigned postal card, bearing the
following message: Dear Sir: You
and that Methodist preacher had bet
look out; we will get YOU yet. 1t
was addressed to T. B. Winter, 4
leader and steward in the Rev. Mr..
Marsh's Church.
The second threat was promptly
communicated to the officers, but it
was withheld from the public in or
der not to hamper the officials IN
their efforts to locate The guilty par
les. The Rev. Mr.. Marsh has for
some ime been active in aiding loca!
authorities in the apprehension OF
those engaged in the liquor traffic
IN LoudcIn county.
The last notice, which was tackled
on the door Of the woodhoUse AZ
tached to The minister's home. was
made up of words clipped from news.
papers and was pasted on piece OF
cheap wrapping PAPER and read as
follows: "Rcv. II. c. Marsh will
Get out of Loudoun. You Know too
much. viii get you vet. Death
after YOU. We Blind Tigers Of Lees
burg"
Officers, while active in an effort
20 run down the guilty parties, are
without a single clue as 20 their iden-
tity. The hcme of the minister is
being guarded since the mysterious
notice was posted. The Rev. Mr..
Marsh is well liked in his community
and the people are highly incensed
at the apparent defiarce Of law on
the part of bootleggors and the
threat to take the life of one who
has given informaioa resulting in
the apprehension OF several men who
have been trafficking in the liquor
business.

IRISH FIGHT
IN NEW YORK
Instead of Bombs, Insurgents Try
Sleep Strike to Capture Naus-
sau Street
CBy United Press.)

With the Irish Army in Nassau
Street. New York, Dec. 28.-Free
State ard Irish republican forces
battled today for possession of the
Irish consulate in Nassau Street, one
Of Lower Manhattan's ancient, mar
row, thoroughfares in the shadow OF
the Woolworth Singer and other sky
scrapers.
Transfer of the Irish civil war for
such surroundings involved certain
changes in methods of attack and de-
fense. Instead of throwing bombs at
each other as they probably would
have done in Dublin, the rival as
pirants for possession Of the consul
ate hit on the more peaceful method
of going on a sleep strike and sit
ting each other out.
Laurence Ginnell of Dublin claims
possession as the consul OF the irish
Republic. Lindsay Crawford claims
possession as consul of the Irish Free
States. Ginnell marched into Craw-
fords office last evening and served
notice on him TO clear out he backed
it up with letter from Devalera an
nouncing that Ginnel was the consul
and entitled to the office in New York.
Ginxoll was accompanied by six
husky 'ooking mca, one of whom said
he w2e mombei Of the IRISH Repub-
lican Army and by Mrs. Muriel Mac
Swincy, widow Of The late Lord May
or of Cork.
When Crawford refused to surren-
der, Ginnell announced he would re-
main in the consulate until the free
slater got out. So he picked a COM
Portable chair and waited-hours.
The republicans, in fact, waited all
night.
When the building was quiet, save
for the clanking of the scrub woman's
bucket, and the streets we're deserted
and lonely, The two Irish factions
sat glaring at each other with heavy
lidded eyes. At 1 a. M, Mrs. Mac
Swiney decided to retire, so she de-
parted. At 10 a. m., Ginnell and
Crawford, .by mutual consent. left
their aides to do the glaring, and went
to breakfast.
The battle is continuing.

WILL COLLECT $4,000
REWARD FOR TALLEY

Danville, Va, Dec. 2S.-Deputy
Sheriff J. w. Hatcher will collect the
$4,000 reward offered for the capture
of Carl Talley, who was outlawed by
the State of North Carolina for his
participation in the murder of Thos.
McCuiston, Greensboro police officer,
and who was caught near South Bos-
ton on Christmas Eve. Mayor J. b.
Wilborne, of South Boston, reports
that Hatcher was the man who took
Talley into custody and that he IS en-
titled to the money. Talley passed
through here yesterday on his way
to Greensboro. His neck and head
were swathed in bandages. The
wound in his neck inflicted, it is al
legged, by John Cook, his cousin, prov
ed to be only superficial.
1t appears that Talley and Cook
had quarrel and that Talley told
Cook that he was going to shoot him.
As he drew his revolver Cook is said
to have fired a shotgun ut him, part
of the load hitting the fugitive in the
neck.

The spectre of war in the Near

Meanwhile the Turkish delegates
led by Ismat Pasha defied the British
ultimatum that they must recede from

said they would be hanged by their

their demand for Mosul. British won

Foreign Minister Curzon declares the

In face of threats by Marquis Cur

conference will "reach 4 breaking

capitulate on a half a dozen points,
Ismat Pasha armed with "Stand pat"
orders from Angora, refused to give
way.
The Angora assembly severely re-
buked its delegate for his "concilia-
tory" policy, and warned him not to
sign any treaty until it is approved
by the assembly itself.
The Turks today flatly refused to
surrender claims on MoSul oil re-

through Curzon yesterday. Curzor
