De VALERA TAKEN
WITHOUT ROW IN
ENNIS, IRELAND

Ennis. Aug. 15.-(By A. P.)-Eamon
de Valera. president of the Irish Re-
public" at last is in the custody of the
Free State authorities.
Mr.. De Valera was arrested here to-
day as he was starting an election
speech to his constituents. He had
boldly announced his coming. and when
he took his position on the rostrum in
Market Square. Free State troops
threw a cordo about him.
The crowd that had gathered had
given Mr.. De Valera a tumultuous re-
ception and he had just started his
address in Gaelic when a shout arose
The soldiers are coming" Simulta-
neously armored cars noisily ratified up
to the vicinity of the platform. The
crowd, made up Of men and women
fed in all directions as the soldiers
fired several volleys over their heads
Many of the women tainted
AS several soldiers rushed toward
the platform De Valera was seen to
sway and then to collapse.
When he recovered. Mr.. De Valera
was assisted down the steps from the
platform by troops. He waved aside a
number of persons who made their APP
pearance seemingly DESTROYS of at
tempting to rescue him, and surren-
dered to an officer.
When the first panic had subsidized the
people who had been about the plat
form returned to Market Square. Many
of them hurled insulting epithets at
the troops and for a moment the sit
uation looked ugly. The troops. how
ever. took things calmly. fixed their
bayonets and soon restored a degree
of order. Then. with a large crowd
following him, Mr. De Valera was
taken to the county Jail. He offered
no resistance.
In the few remarks he was able to
make before he was arrested. Mr.. De
Valera said:
when we could not come to YOU to
tell YOU the truth. they said we We're
anarchists. out for destruction. l come
destruction. l never have stood for the
enemy's game. which is to incite one
party to fight another party.
Since the beginning l have preached
one gospel. which is the gospel preach
to YOU today"
The arrival of the militia cut off
! further remarks
According 20 reports current here the
Free State cabinet was equally divided
over the wisdom Of arresting De Va
lera. A strong feeling prevails that to-
days events will insure his election TO
the Dali.
The arrest of De Valera proved one
of the most exciting incidents this lit
tie town of 5000 inha bitants has expe-
rienced in its nowise uneventful his
tory.
When De Valera arrived in the early
afternoon in an automobile he was
greeted with wild shouts of 'Up( De
Valera" by a great crowd Of his en-
thusiastic admirers.
The cheering continued as he mount
ed the platform. and broke continually
as some of his political companions
made brief Introductory speeches.
When De Valera rose to begin his ad-
dress he was unable for moment or
two to proceed owing 10 the tremea-
dous ovation accorded him.

Democrats Howl
Over Selection Slemp
as Coolidge Secretary

aShlngt0n, Aug. 10.-AppOlnt-
ment of c. Bascom Slemp as sccre-
tary to President Coolidge was the
occasion today of tho Democratic
National Committees first attack on
the executive since he took over his
new duties.
In a statement issued through its
publicity department, the committee
said the selection of Mr. Slemp who
for years represented the ninth Viz
ginia district in the House of Rep
resentatives. was "tantamount to an
official announcement that President
Coolidge is a candidate for the presi-
Dental nomination in 1924 and that
the appointment is the first step to
round up delegates from the south
ern states for Coolidge"
Declaring that Mr.. Slemp was ex-
posed on the floor of the House
December 10. 1922, in connection with
the alleged trafficking in offices by
Republicans in southern states" the
statement said that his appointment
as secretary to the President came
both as a surprise and a shock to
the whole country, because it carries
with it necessarily an endorsement of
office jobbery in the south"
Attached to the statement were cop

ell. the Republican referee in Virginia,
and signed either by Mr.. Slemp or his
secretary, which were read into the
Congressional Record last December by
Representative Harrison. Democrat. of
Virginia. Mr.. Harrison. whose election
had been contested. charged that efforts
had been mpde by the Republican or
Lanization in Virginia to obtain cam
paign funds from persons seeking ap-
portmcnts to federal Offices.
"Ba soon Slemp." said the statement
issued today. lis not only the most i'm
portant Republican in the state of Nir-
ginia. but he is the most important
Republican in the South. especially in
the matter Of dispensing federal jobs
end controlling southern delegates to
Republican national conventions.
The expose by Congressman Harri-
son is one phase of the record of the
man whom President Coolidge has
named as secretary to the president. an
office considered by many to be more
important and carrying with it more
influence than a cabinet PORTFOLIO"
At another point the statement said:
The Democratic national organiZa-
ton recently annoupced that it would
only judge President Coolidge in the
light of events as they happen. 1t
CONSTITUTES this appointment as inviting
criticism not only from Democratic
sources but from the better clement of
the Republican party. as already evil
denced in the Republican press"

riers seeing he was a tenderfoot, pro-
ceeded to pile on more brick as he
started up the plank for the second

to the ground below and made bee

office where he was employed and
worked in the yards with Andrew

of 1885 giving those school pupils
