Mr. Wood's statement to the presl
lt constituted the first open oppo

Mr. Wood said afterward the presl

Little Band Making Last Stand
in Cave Dispersed, Leader
Killed Another Prominent
Irregular Leader Is Cap
tured By Free State Forces.
' LONDON, April 19. (By Associated
Press). The spectacular siege of the
little band of Irish republicans which
had been holding out against tho free
state forces in a cave 100 feet from
the top of Claahmeelcon cliff on the
shore of the Shannon in Cokerry, has
come to a sensational ending.

GENEVA, April 20. (By Associated
Press). The Irish free state has ap
plied for membership in the League of
Nations.
DUBLIN, April 20. (By Associated
Press). It is generally recognized that
the opposition to the free state is al
most at an end, but the prospects of a
permanent peace, many influential
persons believe, depends on the man
ner in which the resistance is termin
ated. To allow it to fizzle out, becoming
less effective daily, it is feared will
involve months of costly spasmodic
disturbances and promote In the de
feated an enduring bitterness.
Both the unionist and nationalist
press manifest a strong belief that
some plan should be found which
would immediately end the conflict
and give Ireland a chance to settlo
down to work.
Earaonn DeValera has as yet made
no announcement on the suggestion of
his chief lieutenant, Austin Stack, in
viting him to order the immediate ces
satlon of hostilities and declaring fur
ther military effort to be futile.

MUELHE1M, April 20. (By tho
Associated Press)-i-After being ter
rorized for three days by the com
munist mobs which held It, Muel-
heim today Is again under control of
the constituted authorities. The force
of 300 police and city officials which
had been besieged in the rathaus.H
made a sortie from this great fortress-like
building this morning, cut
through the lineB of tho besiegers,
caught them In the rear, arrested
many and again took control of the
city.
Thirty leaders of the beBiegers
were arrested. One of them, a man
named Kurten, Is said to have been
the leader of the Kiel revolution in
1918. Ho resisted arrest and was
wounded, probably fatally. Tho cas
ualty list so far as made up, showed
six dead and from sixty to seventy
wounded, some of whom may die.
The French troops remained during
the trouble in or near the security
polico barracks, which they are oc
cupying. They took no part in the
affair, which they regarded as purely
local,
' Burgomaster Lompko, with 800
city employes and a detachment of
security polico who are supposed to
have been summoned from Duisburg
and elsewhere in anticipation of tho
trouble, had been besieged since
Wednesday. They had an ample sup
ply of food and ammunition and were
able to hold the building which is
surmounted by a 2 B0 foot tower, tho
highest point In tho city. On this
lofty poroh the burgomaster sta
tioned sharpshooters, who thus wero
able to pick off members of attack
ing parties.
Tho bcBleglng forces, who called
themselves the "unemployed," num
bered about 2000, bot the burgomas
ter declares there are only 800 unem
ployed men in Muelhelm. Many of
the besiegers were merely trouble
makers led by communists, he de
clared. This encircling army, among
which were many youths armed with
rifles, built barricades and tore up
the paving to obtain missies. They
broke several hundred windows In
the great Rathaus.

HOLD SUSPECTS
IN RADIO SET
ROBBERY CASE
Emery (Buster) tTull and Paul
Wright are under arrest suspected of
having stolen tho Virgin broadcasting
set from the fair grounds last Monday
night and Mr. Bowman of Central
Point was hold this morning by au
thorities for alleged complicity In the
theft.
When Donald Ross of Central Point
read In last night's Mall Tribune of
the theft of the radio set he at once
called ' Virgin, who notified Deputy
Alden that the apparatus was In the
possession of Bowman at Central
Point. ,
Bowman, according to police re
ports, told a story of crating the set
and sending It to Seattle as ordered
to do by the two boys as they had
been planning to leave for Seattle to
day. According to the story the set
was to have boon shipped today.
This story however, conflicts with
that of the two boys who state that
Bowman offered them a third-Interest
each If they would steal the appa
ratus and bring It to him, according
I j Deputy Sheriff Forncrook.
The bakellte panel of the sot upon
which all tho instruments were
mounted was stripped bare and then
smashed with an axe. The Instru
ments wore crated ready for ship
ment. Numerous spotlights, moto
nietors and auto accessories, stolen
recently from Modford carB In front
of tho Elks' club and at other places
wero also found by the officers.' ;U
It Is said that tho set was on Bow
man's porch and that every One la
Central Point was aware Bowman
had it, which tends to substantiate
Bowman's story. ' v !
Tull and Wright .wore plncedjutl
(icr arrest last night at the Hotel Hol
land where Wright was employed as
hell boy. Ho had been working there
rnly five or six days. Bowman was
not arrested until this forenopn after

cused him of complicity.
