Premier Craig Has Is
sued a Manifesto Call
ing for Special Meeting
of Cabinet To Decide
On What Is Best To Be
Done In This Latest
Emergency

Belfast, May 22.-(By Associated
h Press 1.-THE killing today of w. j
SlNwaddell, a member of the Ulster
parliament, who was shot while on
his way to business, caused the is
suance of a manifesto by Sir James
Craig to the cabinet and the legal
authorities.
The premier declared just retribu
tion was called for.
The premier in his manifesto said:
MY detestation of this horrible
crime fills me with such Indignation
that l have summoned a special meet
ing of the cabinet and all the authori
ties dealing with law and order. Such
an event as this murder demands just
retribution."
On Way to Business.
Belfast, May 22-(By Associated
Press. w. ]. Twaddell, a member
CT the northern parliament, was shot
here today and died in the hospital
He was proceeding to business when
he was struck by several shots. A
woman was also wounded by the fus.
illadc.
Mr. Twaddell is the first member ol
DdTlldIlGHI 10 D6 dIldCh6u III lll0
tory of Belfast's disorders.
The most disquieting feature of
Sundays disorders in Belfast was
the shifting of the center of trouble
to Ballymacarett, the east end section
where there is large artisan popula-
tion and a small compact Sim Fein
community living in area called the
Short Strand.
Two men were killed in the violent
rioting there and Thomas McShane,
who was wounded Saturday, died,
bringing the total of the deaths over
the week end to IA.
During last nights shooting gun
men opened fire on the city electric
station, but the return fire from po.
lice and troops caused the assailants
to withdraw.
The flying column responsible for
Saturdays raids in counties Antrim
and Don, vanished as quickly as it
came but a renewal of its operations
is expected.
The Ulster cabinet gave no sign
of wha5 measures lit contemplates
to suppress the disorders, but it is
assumed nothing will be done before
tomorrow's meeting of the northern
parliament when premier Sir James
Craig will outline his plans.
These, if they fulfill the expecta
tions in many quarters are likely to
involve a rupture of the Dublin gov
ernment. Premier Craig refuses to
give an intimation of the proposals
in advance.
Constable Shot Dead.
London, May 22.-An exchange tele
graph dispatch says former Head Con
stable Ballentine, of the Royal Irish
Constabulary, who had just been retir
ed from the service, was shot dead
at his home at Rapoe, county Done
