British Troops Reach- Ulster
Sniping in Belfast
tinues Losses Heavy.
BELFAST, Feb. 14. (By Asso
ciated Press.) A targe body of
troops appeared on the streets of
Belfast this afternoon. They were
the first to be sent here since the
renewed outbreak of disorders.
LONDON. Feb. 11 (Hy Associated
to overthrow the provisional govern-
jment; the sudden and unexplained
suspension of the British military
evacuation and the dangerous tension
between the north and ssuth have
combined to produce a serious situa
tion in Ireland. The outcome no one
here ventures to .forecast more defin
itely than by speculating on the dread
d possibilities, but dispatches show
that the position on the frontier is not
far removed from a state of war. In
deed, the prospect of civil war is being
seriously discussed in Belfast and else
where in the north.
The dispatches sent by Belfast cor
respondents of the London newspapers
'. represent the temper of the Ulster
i men as being such that, unless the kid
naped unionists are speedily released.
there will certainly follow an explosion
which may lead to war.
Increase British Troops
The British, government has pro
mised to increase the troops in Ulster
by four battalions, bringing the total
to fnnrti-en ;inil tn noiii! more if ntcp.
sary and it is assumed that some of
the forces held from embarking yester-
day, are destined for the north. Pre
mier Craig, of Ulster, is said to have
suggested to the llritisli government
the desirability of posting troops on
the south side of the border but this
was tirtuly refused.

CHICAGO. Feb. 14. Investigation
of the dealings of the Westnrn Uind

Operators company, the third concern

and believed by them to have swindled
foreign born citizens of more than
$1,500,000, was under way here today
by government agents.
Within three days alleged swindles

C0n-'cor,linK ' consiervat've estimates by
officers were disclosed with the arrest

j Rait! Last Night
I The raid on the offices of the Wes
tern Land company was made last
night at the request of 3ot) creditors.
Just as the police believed they had
established a connection between the
working of Uischoff and Harrington mo.
have they come to the belief that the
Western Land Operators company was
connected with the other two and that
the three were operating huge swin
dles jointly.
Harrington's rise in high finances
1 was even more
rapid than thatN of
Pischoff, the government Investigators
said.
A meeting of Harrington's field
agents, forty in number, was held last
Sunday, they said. A Lithuanian
lioliccman", said to have Invested $7000
in Harrington notes, hearii of tho
meeting, walked into the room, fired
several shots into the ceiling and de
parted with $7000 in cash.
M. P. AVest, arrested in Aurora. Coloft
in connection with the Western Land
Operators company investigation, is
said to have held forth an attractive
i Proposition w..ich would yield 100 per
cent in six months. His regular inter
est rate was $1 monthly on $l0.
Prosiiects were told that the com
pany owned thousands of acres of land
in Montana and Colorado. A particu
lar piece of property was specified as
security. Investors in September, they
said, made loo .'r cent the first
month. Huyers of $1000 gold bonds in
' the fall were given $2000 in bonds in
'December. Checks for dividends were
I paid by a bank in Aurora, Calo.
I Then in January the checks began to
(come back, marked "insufficient
I funds."
Reports from towns near , Chicago
having large foreign-born populations
indicate that both lllrschoff and liar
j rington reaped large harvests there.
I More than Hoi) residents of Aurora,
III., and the Fox River valley went
1 swindled by Uischoff, according to tho
investigators
ami more than twice.
that number, they say, turned over
sums ranging from $100 to $.'00u to
i Harrington.
Just what the connection believed
by investigators to exist between tlm

be, has nut boon indieut-
