Chicago Jury
Decides in Favor
Of Mason and Owen

Chicago, Nov 16.-(P)-State Sena-
tor Lowell i. Mason and Major Percy
r. owen, former prohibition director
for Illinois, were free today as re-
suit of a verdict given by q jury after
an hours deliberation over evidence
which the government took years to
collect regarding withdrawal of MIL
lions of dollars worth of sacramento
wine.
Mason and Owen were the last two
persons indicted in federal inveStiga-
ton extending over three years and
the disposition of their cases was the
principal interest in the trial, with its
tale of wholesale prohibition law viola
ton and graft payment.

paign for reelection to the Illinois
legislature from Oak Park, Chicago
suburb, and the acquittal came late
yesterday two weeks after the senator

Dublin, Nov. 16.-(P)-Once mill
tant Mary MacSwiney apparently is
militant again. The Free State gov
eminent attributes the recent dis
orders in the counties Cork, Meath
and other sections of the country to
the activities of the extremist section
of the Republicans under the leader
ship of the sister of Terence Mac
Swiney, lord mayor of Cork, who was
arristed and jailed by the British in
connection with the Irish revolt in
May 1916 and died in Brixton prison
after a long hunger strike.
Probably the most spectacular of
all the raids made by the Republicans
on barracks of the civic guard took
place at kilmessan, a small village
in County Meath. Twenty raiders,
armed with rifles and revolvers. held
up the guard, searched the barracks
and decamped with books and docu-
ments of all descriptions.
General Bofin, known as the De
Wet of the West" the sobriquet
likening him to the famous rebel
leader in South Africa, is among the
Republicans arrested during the
raids. Bofin was prominent in the
fighting which followed the signing
of the Anglo-Irish treaty.
Chief Commissioner of the Civic
Guards O'Duffy says it is not likely
that the, guards will be armed be-
cause of the raids. 1t is considered
that these attacks by the Republic
cans on the barracks constitute cas-
lest form of annoyance to the govern
ment, the guards being unarmed.
