DUBLIN, Irish Free State, August 70.
The Free State tonight was looking
forward to Sunday with considerable
apprehension regarding the possibility
OF a clash between state police and Gen.
Eoin O'Duffy's outlawed national guard.
The guard is threatening to stage pa.
rades in various places in defiance OF
the governments ban.
Anxiety centers chiefly around the
district near Cork where the Irish ma
tional hero, Michael Collins, lived and
where he was ambushed and shot down.
The blue-shirted national guard Is be-
ieved very strong in this district and
has declared the intention of holding
the customary annual parade in mem
ory of Collins.
It was understood the government is
sending large details of police to the

was not banning any commemoration
ceremony, but merely intended to stop
any exploitation of the affair for the
purposes Of 'menacing the public

ATHENS, Greece, August 26-Sam-
uel insult, former head Of the vast In
sull utilities interests, was detained In
a nursing home today as the United
States got under way q second fght
to extradite him.
insult was taken first to the ONCE Of
the chief of the Athens police His at
torneys Immediately contended that he
should not suffer jail confinement be-
cause Of the state Of his health and his
age. He Is almost "a.
Physicians examined him and 1t was
on their recommendation that he was
taken to the Logothetopoulos Clinic.
A difference Of opinion arose between
Greek and American authorities con-
cerning the right Of the Greek govern
ment to go into the substance Of the
case against insult before passing on
the application for extradition.
Issues Statement.
"The detention is preventive" said
statement issued by Minister Of Jus
tice Taliadouros, pending the arrival
OF documents to be furnished by the
American legation, on the basis of
which decision will be reached as to
whether Mr.. insult should be extra
dited or not"
Forest Harness, representative Of the
office Of the United States Attorney
General said he doubted whether the
Greek government had the right to ex-
anime into the substance of the charges,
which are set forth in an indictment
"a Chicago dispatch said United States
District Attorney Dwight H. Green yes
terday obtained release of suppressed
indictment charging insult and his as
sociates with violation of the Federal
bankruptcy act. Green said this offense
was eXtraditable in Greece. A mail
fraud indictment against insult was re-
garded as non-extraditable.)
Mr.. Harness asserted that Greece
was entitled only to judge the merits
Of the application for extradition.
Insult has been at liberty in Greece
since December 81. 1882, when a court
refused to extradite him.
Order Carried Out.
In his statement the minister of JUS
tice said:
The minister of foreign affairs
transmitted to us a communication
from the American legation requesting
in accordance with the eleventh clause
of the Greco-American eXtradition
treaty, the preventive detention of the
American citizen, Samuel insult, with
the ultimate object of his extradition
We have transmitted this communi-
cation to the public prosecutor in order
that he may act according to Greek
law. The president Of the Court Of Ap-
peal, to whom the dossier was sent
signed an order for Mr.. insults deten-
tion, which was duly carried OUT
Mr.. insult is expected to add Deputy
Pericles Rhalli to the legal counsel he
already has.
Hard Fight Forecast.
With the possibility that this noted
attorney will be engaged. Athens gen.
orally looked forward to another hot
legal battle when the United States
presents its documents.
, An Appeal Court will meet publicly
within 48 hours to decide whether
insult is to be detained under close
or open arrest pending trial. Greek
authorities said that under the Law

the result of wearing back brace that
troubled her right hip and leg, Mrs.

an ovation to Miss Jacobs, who rose to
her greatest heights by outplaying Mrs
