DUBLIN, Oct. 29. The dropping of the prosecution of Mrs. Lucille Rand. daughter of Henry T. Gage, of Cali fornia, and of Mrs. Dora Montetire, a London philanthropist, virtually was deolded on today when the case against them on a charge of kidnaping came up before a police magistrate here. The women had taken a' leading part ln arranging for the transfer to Eng land of children of striking Irish trans port workers. The children were to be cared for ln England during the con tinuance ot the strike. These efforts were opposed by the Catholic clergy, who objected to the children's being sent to Protestant homes. ; At the hearing today the attorney for the defendants explained that the wom en's action had been misunderstood. There was, he said, a touch of humor In charging them with kidnaping when they were really on an errand of mercy. They had not committed any crime, he declared, but perhaps had acted indis creetly. The Attorney-General for Ireland then consented to an adjournment of the case for a month, which is taken as an indication that it will not come up again.
