Chief-of-Staff of IRE
publican Army" Is
Nabbed on "Order
From Washington"

DETROIT - Sean Russell.
chief-of-staff of the outlawed
Irish Republican army which
has declared war" on Eng
land. was locked in cell at
immigration detention quar-
tiers today only a few hours
before the scheduled arrival
of King George and Queen
Elizabeth in Windsor. Ont,
directly across the Detroit
river.
Russell was seized by immigrs-
ton officers when he arrived by
train last night. He was accused
of entering the United States on
an improper passport.
John l.. Zubrick. chief Of the
Detroit immigration office.
said Russell was arrested on
orders from Washington.
Zubrick said the order from the
department of labor for Russell's
arrest gave the reason only as
"falsifier." He said he understood
that to mean that at time of entry
Russell was not entitled to come
into this country. or that his im-
migration visa was not valid. or
that he gained entry by fraud or
INSTRUMENTATION "
Watched for Weeks
Russells status was complicat-
ed, Zubrick said by the fact he
had left his passport in New York.
U. s. authorities had been watch
ing Russell for several weeks. at
the request of England's Scotland
Yard. He was on a lecture tour
of the United States and came
here from Chicago.
Two weeks ago at San Fran
cisco Russell said "a state of war
exists" between Ireland and Great
Britain.
I'VE declared war on the 18th
Of last January he said.
A week earlier at Los Angeles
he was quoted as saying he had
ordered recent bombings in Eng
land
Coincidence" They Say
With Russell when he was
seized was Joseph Mccarthy of
Philadelphia, who was described
as leader of the 1rish-American
society. He vas not held.
Mccarthy said he and Russell
came to Detroit to "see some
friends" and explained that their
arrival shortly before the appear
ance of the king and queen across
the river at Windsor was purely
coincidental."
The Irish Republican army
which Russell heads has no con-
nection with the government of
Fire, the former Irish Free state.
1t is the only remnant of the revo-
lutionary movement which led to
the famous Easter rebellion of
1915.

the following news behind the
news about Senator Arthur I'll.
Vandenberg's statement that
it's okay with him if the Re-
publicans want 10 nominate
him for the presidency next
year.
The Michigan senator has been
privately aiming at the White
House for several years. He was
offered the Republican vice presi-
Dental nomination in 1886, but
turned it down because he foresaw
a crushing COP defeat and feared
his future hopes would be wrecked
if he were directly associated with
it.

ing. Nandenberg sat back with
quiet satisfaction visuaIizing
himself as the logical and al
most inevitable Republican
nominee for 1910.
Then came the IS election and
the rise to prominence Of new
crop of Republican hopefuls-
Dewey, Taft. Brieker, Saltonstsll,
etc. The Michigan man was
secretly rather miffed to discover
that he was being pretty much
ignored while public attention
focused on and lionize the
