FEIN IS
CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND WHO MADE ANNOUNCEMENT IN
PARLIAMENT OF IRISH REVOLT.
P. J. MacAuley Is Cousin of
John McNeill, Reported
Killed in Revolt.
OUTBREAK CAUSES TOLD
failure of Irish Parliamentary
Leaders to Secure Independence
and Remedy Economic
Injustice Blamed.
John McNeill, the Sinn Fein leader
who is reported to have been killed in
the revolt in Ireland. Is a cousin of P.
J. MacAuley. o Portland, and it is
probable that others who have been in
volved in the uprising-, probably paying
with their lives, were erstwhile con
freres and university associates of Mr.
MacAuley's.
Mr. McNeill was one of the most ad
vanced Gaelic scholars in Ireland, and
was reckoned amons the most erudite
on the island. Mr. MacAuley has been
away from Ireland only Eix years, and
the developments of the last several
days, while not unexpected, are in a
measure surprising to him; largely be
cause of the men who have been men
tioned in the leadership.
Mr. MacAuley says the revolt is the
direct result of the failure of the Irish
parliamentary leaders to get adequate
remedial legislation for Ireland. Mr.
MacAuley also explained what is meant
by the "Sinn Fein" and that it is pro
nounced as if spelled Shin Fane.
"The words Sinn Fein are Gaelic,"
naid Mr. MacAuley. "In English they
mean literally 'We, Ourselves." So far
they signify an idea clearly recognized
by nation as well , as individual the
elemental need of self-expression, of
exercising the faculties along their nat
ural lines.
Common Cause Meant.
"As applied to a specific body of the
Irish people, working together for
common cause, 'Sinn Fein' denominates
those Irish men and women who have
come to realize the hopelessness of
constitutional agitation for their rights
ana who believe they must work out
Ireland's national salvation without re
course to parliamentary aid.
.lust how strong the Sinn Fein are
it is impossible now to determine. But
their membership must be reckoned by
lens of thousands, and these are drawn
from all classes representing every part
of Ireland. As to the personnel of the
leaders, a more complex group it would
be hard to find.
John McNeill whose name occus so
frequently of late in press dispatches.
must bo accorded a prominent place In
'Sinn Fein' councils. He is best known
for his work in re-sstablishing the Irish
language as a living medium of com
munteation throughout the country, and
ha is also editor of the Irish Volunteer.

nnd many others of note, together with
the powerful Irish labor leader, James

able lieutenants, have ranged them
selves whole heartedly on the side of
fclnn Fein.
Sequence Is Logical.
The rebellion of the Sinn Feiners is
the. logical sequence to the failure of
the Irish parliamentary party to effect
my adequate remedial legislation for
Ireland. The land act of 1903, and the
home rule bill of 1914. form the small
total of constitutional gain during the
quarter of a century that has elapsed
-since tne death of Parncll.
'So slight is the influence of the Irish
aritamentary party with the govern

lar discontent became loud and clam-

Fledge Is Resented.
The people resented any arbitrary
rrangement by which the Irish par
lamemary party should be made a re-
rulting agency. The Irish people re
used to regard themselves as legiti-
nate victims or the war.

npopuiar campaign was launched on

eople remained silent. Their silence

"The small Irish weeklies have one

"As a result, the recent 'outbreak in
Dublin was the first intimation to
thousands of Americans that such an
organization as 'Sinn Fein existed. To
those of us, however, who have kept
in touch with Irish developments, the
arrests and imprisonments and deporta
tions are strangely and sadly remi
niscent of the days when they were
'hanging- men and women for the wear
ing of the green.
'"Lest any contrast be -drawn between
the loyal support given Britain by her
colonial possessions and the disaffec
tion that exists in Ireland today, it
should be remembered that while Irish
taxation is now 23.722,000 pounds a
year or upwards of 15,0 JO. 000 pounds
a year extra since the war was started.
neither Canada nor New Zealand can
be taxed one penny extra by England
and Canada has received millions in
war orders. Personal ly I think that
when the answer to 'Sinn Fein' is writ
ten, it will be the story of a people's
struggle not merely for their national
independence, but for economic
justice."

Correspondents who are assembled
In the North Wall quarter, were unable
to communicate this morning with
headquarters. Officers returning re
ported everything much quieter than
for several days and confirmed the
belief that the military have the situa
tion well in hand.
From the roof of the correspondents'
hotel, many fires could be observed
mostly in central Dublin. The hotel
is kept under a constant fire by well-
concealed snipers, from both the North
and the South.
The soldiers reply whenever they see
the flash of a rifle, but the location
of the snipers had not been discovered
up to noon.
All the houses around North Wall
were cleared of men last night by the
troops, who rounded the men up and
kept them in custody until daybreak.
Firing went on, however, as briskly
as ever.
Hughes In Jllfcli Fator, but He Is
Said to Admit Lack or Experi

That Will Be In Fore.
BY JOHN C ALLAN O'LAUGHLIN.
WASHINGTON, April 29 An organ
ized movement to bring about the nom
ination for President of ex-Senator
Root by the Republican National Con
vention haa been launched.
This movement Is under the direction
of John W. Dwight, who was Repub
lican whip of the House of Representa
tives some years ago. and who Is rec
ognized to be one of the ablest political
managers in the country.
Mr. Root is not a candidate for the
Presidency and has Issued statements
from time to time which disclose the
view he has as to his own unavail
ability. His frienus, however, have de
clined to take him at his word. They
point out that Mr. Root is one of the
greatest statesmen this Nation has pro
duced; that he Is pastmaster In the art
of directing foreign affairs and that
this Is the time when a man of his
caliber should be in office.
Hufrnes Admits Shortcoming's.
Associate Justice Hughes, who still
has the lead as the candidate of the
regulars in the Republican party, con
fesses that he has no knowledge of
foreign affairs and never has had any
experience in such matters. This, in
the opinion of the associate Justice, Is
the Important reason why he should j
not be nominated. Mr. Hughes has a
high opinion of the management of
foreign affairs by Colonel Roosevelt
and Mr. Root during the seven years of
the Roosevelt Administration. It Is gen
erally admitted that when Colonel
Roosevelt retired from the Presidency
the prestige of the United States was
never higher and one Senator said to
day that "if Roosevelt or Root should
be elected the attitude of foreign pow
ers toward questions with this country
ould change instantly.
Whether Mr. Root could be elected Is
a matter of doubt. The ex-Senator and
Secretary of Ftate does not believe it
possible. It has been previously re
ported that Colonel Roosevelt would
support Mr. Root and also that he
would not do so.
Delegate Virtually tnlnstrncted.
While there will be a great many
votes cast for favorite sons In the com
ing Republican convention it may be
accepted as beyond question that all of
the delegates will reurard themselves as
unlnstructed. A prominent Rep-ubllean
politician who Is a regular, but friendly
to Colonel Roosevelt, said that the un
derlying sentiment of the delegates un
doubtedly would favor the nomination
of Mr. Hughes, even In spite of his dec
laration that he would not be a candi
date. If Mr. Hughes should not get the
nomination he predicted that Colonel
Rofsevelt would be named as the standard-bearer.
So far as the election In
Massachusetts is concerned, he pointed
out that the people must not get the
Impression that the old Bay State had
"turned down" Roosevelt. The four
delegates-at-large Senators Lodge and
Weeks, Governor McCall and ex-Senator
Crane represent the regular fac
tion. Senator Lodge Is a close and Inti
mate friend of Colonel Roosevelt; Mr.
Weeks, according to information which
has become known, would vote for him
and Mr. McCall would do likewise. Mr.
Crane Is opposed to Colom I Roosevelt.
Four of the 36 members of the Massa-
cnusetts delegation were elected on a
Roosevelt ticket. The Massachusetts
delegation as a whole probably will be
lor .tLUgnes.
Ford Vote Is Surprise.
The surprising vote cast for Mr. Ford
In the Nebraska Presidential primaries
continues to give the politicians of both
the Republican and Democratic parties
a great deal of concern. It is argued
that these returns show the presence of
a peace-at-any-prlce sentiment, the Im
portance of which cannot be overesti
mated. "If Ford should run. and I believe he
will run as an Independent candidate."
said an Influential Republican Senator.
it Is certain he win get a large vote.
He will draw from the Republican party
In the Dakotas, Michigan, Iowa, Ne
braska and Kansas and probably Wis
consin. He-will get the ultra-German-
American vote, which despises Wilson
and hates Rocsevelt and Root. That
vote might go to Hughes. He will also
get the peace-at-any-price vote, but
this will be taken largely from the
Democrats.
Mr. Wilson's strong attitude toward
Germany and the operations he was
compelled to inaugurate In Mexico will
not please this class of voters.
