There fore, it was the duty of the govern ment to act." Deported Without Trial. Jack Jones, labor member, com plained that a number of English-horn subjects had been deported to Ireland without a trfal, including Fitzgerald, who was arrested, although the only crime he was accused of was that he was secretary of the Irish Self-deter mination league.

Home Secretary Bridgeman then read a number of letters showing I the existence of a conspiracy against the free state and filled with threats of outrages in England, One of the letters discussed the purchase in Ger many machine guns and artillery, while another read: "We are, considering active hostili ties in England and a general destruc tive policy." — Platte County Telephone Concern Changes Hands Columbus, Neb., March 13.—(Spe cial.)—Control of the Platte County Independent Telephone company pass ed into the hands of the group of Lin coln men who own the Lincoln Tele phone company Saturday night when F.
