- BHEN ARRESTED
Endeavor to , Suppress Na
tionalistic Uprising Re
sults in Imprisonment of
Egyptian Officials 1
ENGLISH FEAR FURTHER
PLOTTING OF LEADERS
" . - ... .
Measures Taken By Great
Britain Officials May
. Result in Crisis
LONDON. Nov. 27. (By Asso
ciated Press.)- The British au
thorities In Cairo have taken Into
their own hands drastic measures
to suppress possible nationalistic
, plottings by .the. arrest . of ..four
prominent members of the party
organization headed by former
premier Zagloul Pasha.
. . Those arrested . were Nekrashy
Bey, a secretary in the ministry
of the interior in Zazloul's cobi
net; Abdul Rahman Fahmy, one
of Zagloul'a closest , political as
sistants; William. Makram. Obeld.
a prominent Coptic member of the
. nationalist delegation and . Bar
, akat Pasha, who was Zagloul'a
minister of the interior. .
According to statements In of
ficial quarters in London, the men
arrested were leaders in an under
ground conspiracy against British
Interest which probably was part
ly responsible for the murder of
sirdar Stack and which might, Jf
left unhampered in its activities,
result in further unfortunate in
cidents. . ' . . , , ,
There was fear that this prompt
action on the part of the British
might result In another Egyptian
ministerial crisis; . but according
to the latest Cairo advices it was
announced there, after a hastily
called cabinet council that there
would be no ministerial resigna
tions as the British authorities bad
accepted Premier . Zawlx'a pro
posal that the men taken .into
custody should be handed over to
tie Egyptians to be dealt with-. "
Apparently the arrest of these
nationalists is regarded as mere
ly a preventive measure and they
will be placed only under observa
tion; and control. No manifesta
tions or disorders have followed
the arrests and throughout Egypt
calm still prevails.
Opinion In official quarters here
remains optimistic that a solution
of the situation will be reached by
means' of direct negotiations be
iween Ziwar and Viscount Alien
by before the Egyptian parliament
meets again.

FOR ARRESTS
Anti-English Plotters' in

LONDON, Nov. 27. (By ! Asso
dated Press.) The discovery of
a network of pIots through Egypt
declared to menace the lives of
British officials in that country
and in the Sudan from the gover
nor general down to civil clerks,
has caused the British authorities
to issue orders for the arrest and
imprisonment of all prominent
anti-British plotter's. Further ar
rests, possibly on a large scale,
in Cairo and Alexandria, are ex
pected to follow quickly the ar
rests announced today among oth
ers of Nekrashy Bey, Zagloul
Pasha's minister . of the interior,
and Abdul Rham Fahy, declared
to have been long actively en
gaged in the plots against Eng
land. Discovery of the numerous plots
are stated to have been made by
the British authorities in their in
vestigations after the murder of
Major General Sir Lee Stack, the
sirdar. For the most part the al
leged plotters are said to belong
to the groups of extremist pa
triots who aim, at, achieving the,

country by the employment of any
methods which they conceive will
benefit their cause- and place it

Miles Project
"The building of a twine mill
In Salem will be one of the best
investments the people of Salem
can make," declared T. B. Kay, in
discussing the proposed mill for
Salem.
"When I talked last Monday be
fore the Portland .Chamber of
Commerce, I found -everybody and
especially those with money to in
vest, deeply . .interested. .la ..what
Salem .intended; td idd.; hn J? ' -;
"They had heard, of our propos
ed twine mill and "wanted tSknow
whether Salem business men.were
backing the , mill financially; ta
there was plenty of money in Port,
land to finance the miU for Fort
land it Salem.was not interested."
Mr. Kay also said that both the
Portland Chamber of Commerce
and the State Chamber of Com
merce were receiving .many In
quiries as to the flax Industry In
the Willamette valley.. -.
Eastern people were interested
In flax growing in Oregon he said;
as they wanted, the raw materials
for their, mills and preferred to
ship from Oregon, rather than
Belgium and Ireland and pay the
high Import duty. i
"When it comes to owning a
woolen mill or a linen mill. I
would .much rather own .and op
erate a linen mill." declared Mr.
Kay. "There is not only a much
larger profit in a linen mill, but
styles do not change as they do
In the products of a woolen mill.
"I feel that If the business men
of Salem will get behind the twine
mill proposed by B. C . Miles,' it
willbe just the beginning of more
factories for Salem and the -Willamette
valley.
H"Mr, Miles is starting right. If
the business men support him.. be
will buy the best and latest mach
inery and open the mill In a small
way. -He will bring from Ireland
men ; who are experts in twine
making and who will' teach our
people." '
Incidentally it. may be said that
Mr.. Kay not. only believes in the
twine .mill proposed by Mr. Miles,
but he is willing to take stock.
The three .largest subscribers . to
