Y., Prldtjr, ~May 14. 1921 !• I Walter Cantwell Carried Off to British Jail Lthout Warrant Mrs. Ellen Cantwell Appeals Her Four CaliformanSons Who Are Priests (By the-N. C. W. C. News Service Washington, May 10.—Reports' received here .of the arrest and confinement in a British-prison of \Walter Cantwell, brother of Bish- op John J, Cantwell of Los An- geles and three other prominent California priests have multiplied the efforts of United States Sen- ators and Congressmen who have been protesting against the whole sale arrests and imprisonment, without charge, arraignment or trial,of those striving to win free- dom for Ireland. A cable protest signed by eighty-eight congress men, including former Speakerof the House Champ Clark and Ju- lius Kahn, chairman of the Mil! tary Affairs Committee, has been sent to Premier Lloyd-George. Senator Phelan of California has received the personal assurance of Secretary of State Colby that reasonable representations will be made to the British embassy to take act ion in the Cantwell case. News of the imprisonment of Walter Cantwell was conveyed here in a telegram from three of his brothers, the Rev. James P. Cantwell, Chancellor of the Arch- diocese of San Francisco, Rev, William P. Cantwell of San An- selmo, and Rev. Arthur J. Cant- well of Sausalito, reciting the cir cumstanees as given them in a letter from their mother, Mrs Ellen Cantwell. Bishop Cantwell, who is on his way to Rome, was appraised of the situation by wireless while in midocean. Military's Outrageous Conduct The letter received by Father James Cantwell, recites how his* sick and aged mother was roused from her bed when the door was battered in at 4:30 a. m. by a squad of military police who overran the house, destroying property and dragging the young man from his bed, hurried him or! under armed guard, without warrant and without explanation. The military, after lodging their prisoner in jail, returned to the house, Loughcoppie, in Fet- hard,;County Tipperary, and ran- sacked every room, doing great damage. Upon receipt of telegrams of protest sent by the three Calif or nia priests and by Andrew J. Gal lagher.state president of the Cal ifornia branches of the Friends of Irish Freedom and W. George Harkins, president of the United Irish Societies of San Francisco, copies were filed with the State Department by Senators James D. Phelan and Hiram Johnson of California and Representatives Julius Kahn and John I. Nolan of the same state. Meanwhile a petition was being circulated and signed by eighty- eight members of the House of Representatives to be forwarded to Premier Lloyd-George protest- ingr against further imprisonment without arrignment or trial and asking that in the name of jus- tice aid liberty those now confin- ed in the prisons of England and Ireland be told^rhat offenses they have comraitte/ i striving to win liberty and freedom for their country. The cablegram of protest, which the lovers of freedom in this country are confident will prove one of the most effective meas urea taken against the unjust actions of the British military, is as follows: The Protest \To Honorable David Lloyd George, Premier, and to the Par- liament of Great Britain: With the profound conviction that further wars and acts of war should be avoided and believing that wholesale arrests without arraignment or trial disturb the peace and tradquility of a people, are destructive of human rights, and are at variance with that rinciple of liberty which is em- bodied in the United States Con stituttoninthe provision that no person shall be \deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law^the undersigned members of Cbngresa of the United States of America protest against further imprisonment without arraignment or trial of persons resident in Ireland arri edfor acts of apolitical nature, and we ask in the spirit of Amer- ican freedom and love of justice, out of our friendliness to the peo- ples of England and Ireland and in the name of international peace, that, hereafter, if arrests based upon acts of a political na ture are made in Ireland, by color of any form of authority, the right of trial shall without un delay be accorded to the accused.\ The three California priests are eagerly awaiting further advice from Ireland and meanwhile Irish and Americans throughout the country are hoping that the latest protest of the United States Con- gressmen will achieve the release of the prisoners. es Mgr.

May 9.—Assistant District Attorney Rorke, who has brought about all the convictions of Communists prosecuted in the courts of New York City, in a formal public statement questions the efficacy of legal penalties as a means of curing criminal anarchy and radicalism, and suggests a national convention of religious, industrial, financial and political leaders.

Francis J. Kearful, counsel for the committee, pressed Lind so hard on this point that the latter disclaimed having made the state- ment. ' Subsequently, however, Lind admitted he might have said that 4, the Catholic Church with its hold on the people and its pow- er has not devoted more effects to education of the masses of the Mexican people.\ \That I may have said, and I say that now,\ * Lind explained. The extent to which the Cath olic Church in Mexico had been the object of restriction, confisca- tion and persecution since the adoption of the Mexican consti tution of 1857, was disclosed in the testimony of Monsignor Kel- ley and Mr. Slattery. Both of these witnesses had exceptional opportunities to get the facts. The former has been in the most in- timate touch with the situation in Mexico since the overthrow of Diaz.
