DEMAND ON STATE.
T0FREE PRISONERS
Irish Republicans of Dublin in
Demonstration Against
Government.
BY WILLIAM II. BRAYDEN.

BY Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily News
DUBLIN, August e7.-A meeting of
Republicans was held here Tuesday
night on College Green. opposite the
the old Parliament House. to demand
the release of prisoners, although less
than 900 now remain in Jail out of
$4,000 once interned by the Free State
government.
Some are charged and sentenced
for grave offenses during the revolt,
while some are held without charges
and without trials. Eamonn De Nalera's
speech was almost confined to the
declaration that he accepted respon-
Eibility for all acts of soldiers of the
republic acting under orders and he
said ii was a shame that he was
free and allowed to speak, while men
who obeyed his orders were in prison
Not Needed by Government.
The meeting will not influence the
action of the government, but it had
its effect in demonstrating the extent
of republicanism in Dublin. 1t was
De Nalera's first appearance at an
open air meeting in the capital since
his imprisonment. and the announce
ment of his presence drew enormous
crowds which cheered him frantically
while the Free State police vainly en-
deavored to secure passage for street
II diHt III ~ cAiiilLN Io lut lIttlIiiS.
De Valera appears to be in better
physical trim than he was before his
year in Jail and now he resembles
an athlete more than he does a col
lege professor. This may be due to
the fact that he kept fit in prison by
playing hand ball with his military
guards
Many Working Men Mt Meeting.
notable feature of the meeting
was the presence of large number
of working men, who, obeying an ad-
vertiSement in the press by James
Larkin, assembled in thousands to
show their sympathy. Larkin had
just returned from Moscow, where he
says he was appointed one of the
25 commissioners to govern the world
and he promises Ireland in establish
ing the Irish Workers Republic the
assistance sc 100000 of the Russian
red army. Although his followers are
fewer than those obeying the regular
trades union Larkin has great back
ing among unskilled workers and he
can at will dislocate Dublin trade.
Countess Marceivez n Speaker.
Countess Marceivez was one of the
principal speakers at the meeting
and as she never has concealed her
sympathy with the Soviets she re-
ceived specially enthusiastic recep-
ton from the LdTklHlleS. lie NdleTd
himself is less popular with that sec
ton. The Republicans are encouraged
by the meeting in their hope of
securing a majority at the next cleo
tion.
John Devoy's statement on the
Ulster boundary question, issued last
evening, is really prominent that in
his view the Free State government
does not meet the needs of the situa
tion. He objects to any boundary or
boundary commission and calls for
a united organization under some
new leader, preferably an Ulster
Protestant, to secure one unparti-
toned nation.

T'T TTF}II fIFI I.lf
 ]. ] PLENT9s OF MONEY.l

Two important developments m the financial world during the past week show that American capital is avair- able for sound investment. One lnstnce was the flotation of $150,O0O,OO0 loan by Japan; the other the subscription of $10,000,000 by eastern banking houses for emergency agricultural re- lief in central Northwest. nn
 The sale of the Japanese to syndl- cate headed by four large New York institutions marks the largest financial operation for a foreign government since the flotation of the $500,O0O,OO0 Anglo-French loan in 1915 ,and is the largest piece of long term foreign gov errment financing ever undertaken Tn this country. Incidentally, 1t IS the first direct external issue placed by the Japanese in the American market since 1905, the year of the Russo-Jap- anese war, and proves that American capital, which usually does not take serious risks, regards the relations be- tween the American and Japanese gov ernments to be on a sound and friend ly basis.
 The money will be used in the re- construction of the devastated areas swept by the recent earthquake, and the American people undoubtedly will reap further benefits through the ex- penditure of more money in this coun- try for reconstruction materials.
 The readiness with which the $10,- GOO 00O loan for agricultural relief was over-subscribed shows that conditions even in the unfortunate sections where numerous bank failures have resulted are fundamentally secure. Half of the loan was subscribed by New York banks. The depression in agriculture in the wheat growing states, due tc various circumstances, has been recog- nized by the government and serious and earnest effort is being made to provide relief to tide over the situation Ten times the amount of the subscrip- lions, or $1OO,000,000, will be available to the farmers through the War Fin ance corporation, which has been of in estimable benefit to the agriculture districts.
 Conditions, generally speaking, are

With the aid of in surgents, the democrats were able, by vote of .222 to 196, to carry the Carr ner plan, providing for a maximum surtax of Al per cent on incomes in ex- cess:of $92,008. The Mellon plan, sup ported by the administration, provide ed for maximum rate of(25 percent In his New York address President Coolidge declared the Garner program was political in theoryf and f>Eimpcs- sible in practice" Yet that is the bill which has gone thru the house and which goes next to the senate. Cool sdge indirectly appealed to the house republicans to stand as unit against it, but his plea was ignored. The mea- sure has to gauntlets to run--first, the senate, which may be dominated by the democrats and the insurgents bloc; second, the conference committee. It is within the realm of possibility that il can pass both houses without being materially changed if the "antis'
 stand together. But in view of what the president has said, it may expect to confront presidential veto, and ii lit does the necessary two-thirds cannot be mustered to pass it over the presi dents opposition.

WILD HORSES BE CORRALLED
 IN THE CARIBOU DISTRICT

CLINTON; B. C., Mar. 4.-The last great roundup of thewild Horses of the Caribou will be staged this spring. Ey- cry cowboy in the. district will take q part. The animals will beysold at 8 head. Those not sold will be shot. There are literally thousands of these wild horses overrunning the rich graz | ing lands, and the event of rounding them up will be spectacular and excit- ling in the extrerne.o raid -s@taA3 ."I1. ay Government officials and farmers have combined in aplanning 3 the mon ster drive for the early spring. and ] it is hoped the measure will be effec- l tive in removing a nuisance which ev- cry year has become more and more pronounced. ,.1UD "d y
 l . Men, have been chosen ito locate ] the whereabouts of the herds W hich roam the district, enticingl domestic animals away and causing considera- ble damage to the ranches, and an eff fort will be made to secure an approx innate estimate of their numbers so that when the roundup takes place a sufficient force shall be on hand to deal with the situation.
 Wild horses have been more or less nuisance to farmers in the upper l country for many years. There have been numerous roundups in the Car
 ibou, but when left unmolested for a
 fey years the bands have rapidly in- creased and become a very pressing
 menace to the prosperity of farmers and ranchers. ,4at
