effort to suppress not only the Irish
republican army and the Irish republi
can brotherhood but all other Sinn

Government Movai Swiftly
The government's move follows
swiftly upon Irlah republican army
raids and burning of buildings In the
counties of Down sod Antrim and the
hostilities In Helfast culminating in
the murder yesterday of V. J. Twaddle
member of tho I'lster iarllament.
Nearly every town and village In
I'lster wus visited but the bulk of the
prisoners was taken from the country
districts from farm houses. Compara
tively few captures were made In Hel
fast as most of tho Irish republican
army living In the Sinn Keln districts
or Heltnst, anticipating action by the
police as a result of the Twaddle assas
sination had gone "on the run."

most prominent Sinn Kelners In the

HKLFAST. May 23. Tho 200 offi
cers of the Irish republican army ar
rested today by I'lster authorities
wore captured during a big encircling
movement embracing the six Vlster
counties. The movement was begun
at four o'clock this morning and the
work of visiting the various houses,
town and country, was rapidly carried
out. Several hundred members of the
constabulary of tho largo ataff of offi
cers had been on duty from midnight
completing the arrangements. Most
of those wanted were surprised and in
most instances were aroused from
sleep. As part of the comprehensive
scheme special police wero active In
Fermanagh during the night and early
morning, arresting every Sinn Felner
known to be an officer or to have
authority in tho Irish repebllcnn army.
Only about sixty Irish" republican army
officers were raptured Jn Fermanagh,

YEGG KILLED
BY VETERAN
Walter S. Ward, Service Man
and Police Commissioner,
New Rochelle, N. Y., Con
fesses to Shooting Haver
hill Man May 15th Raised
Blackmail Demand.
WHITE PLAINS, X. Y., May 23.
Search for two men known only as
"Ro" and "Jack" declared by Wal
ter 8. Ward of New Rochelle, New
York, to have been present when he
shot Clarence Petepi ot Haverhill,
Moms., near here the night of May 15,
was continued by Westchester county
officials today. Ward, after confess
ing he had killed a member of a gang
that had blackmailed him for $30,
000 and- then attempted to get 175,
000 more, went to New York last
night with officers and viaite'd seve
ral resorts where he declared the
men wanted might be found. It was
an unsuccessful quest. Ward, who
is the son ot the president of the
Ward Baking company, la at liberty!
on bond of 130,000.
I'sing a list made up by Ward, the
party went Into cabaret, restaurants
and cafes in the white 'light district
and acrutlnised every man present.
When the search along Broadway
and Its aide streets failed. Ward and
the others spent several hours on the
lower east side, but no men fitting
the description of the two men
sought could be found.
Sheriff George Werner, who ac
companied Ward, said Ross waa a
confidence man while Jack, the only
other name the trio is known by, was
a chauffeur.
The basis for the blackmail plot
was unrevealed as the 'lawyers rep
resenting Ward decline to make pub
lic any of the bundle of letters given
them by ward which he received In
the six weeks he was being threat
ened. Demanded $73,000.
The telephone call which resulted
in the meeting by Ward of the men
on the day of the killing was said to
have been the threat by Peters "we
want 175,000 or your life will pay."
This Is the threat In the only letter
disclosed. Sheriff Werner said he
had read a threatening letter with a
demand for that sum.
When Iwood M. Rubnold, counsel
for Ward when asked if there was
a woman in the case he answered:
"The threats were aimed at his
family."
"When did It start, as reported, at
the race track?"
"I think not."
"Did it Involve Ward's war
record?"
"I cjn assure you that it did. not,"
answered Mr. Campbell.
Mrs. Ward said she had known of
the plot for quite a while and added:
"I'm with my husband und I want to
do everything 1 can for him. 1 hove
the utmost confidence In him. I am
sorry that I cannot answer any fur
ther questions."
Much surprise Is displayed In New
Rochelle that Ward waited for
almost a week before surrendering
himself, especially as he waa known
aa a Btrict disciplinarian in his posi
tion as chairman of the police com
mission. Ward came to New Roch
elle in 1911 from Pittsburg. He was
appointed head ot the police com
mission in 1919 and two weeks ago
was re-elected.

LIFE IS CLOSED
CHICAGO, May 23. The final chap
ter in the careers of Mrs. Emma Weir
"Big Emma" known by a score of
aliases In police circles, was being
written today by the police who dis
covered the 65 year old woman dead,
with a gas tube in her mouth, in the
attic ot a drab cottage which had been
her home since she "retired" twenty
years ago. - - - - -
Murder and suicide are believed by
the authorities to have played the
final roles In "Big Emma's" life. In
another room of the house, Mrs.
Rickey Gunther, 65, Mrs. Weir's insep
arable companion, for three years, was
found. Threats against Mrs. Gunther' s
life by "Big- Emma" were recounted
by several persons today.
"Big Emma" was credited with the
most spectacular career of any woman
in Chicago police annals. Rated as
one of the city's most daring and suc
cessful shoplifters, she came to be
known as the "million dollar lifter."
For mony years she headed the Weir
gang which practiced systematic thiev
ery In large stores with such clever
ness that members ot the band were
seldom caught. In the gang were her
husband, two sisters and three broth
ers. Plunder Reached $500,000
Comparatively little of "Emma's"
story Is in police records. Her light
fingered cleverness, police say, saved
her from detection time after time
until In 1900 police had estimated her
plunder at $500,000. They said she
had undoubtedly annexed another half
million since.
It was Mrs. Weir who first Intro
duced the "split skirt" to Chicago, but
not for style. "Big Emma" used the
split to reach an underskirt provided
with ample pockets to store away her
loot as she extricated it from counters.
In her palmier days she was sstd to
have driven up to State street stores
in a "tour in hand" with a team ot
blooded horses and driver in livery.
After loading her voluminous skirts
with picked articles 'Big Emma"
was a connoisseur of quality, as well
as a plunderer of quantity she would
rustle out to her waiting carriage and
drive serenely away.
