Sinn Fein Plots
In All England
Are Disclosed
Plans to Destroy Property in
Liverpool and Manchester
Revealed in Debate in
House of Commons, i
By The Awoclt4rMM.
London, Nov. 25. The most con
spicuous Incident in the Irish df
5ate in the house of commons to
lay was the revelation by Sir Hamer
Greenwood, chief secretary for Ire
land, of Sinn Fein plans, to destroy
property in Liverpool and Manches
tera revelation which was greeted
by Joseph Devlin .with the exclam
ation: "All that was written . in
Dublin castle."
In other respects the debate fol
lowed the customary lines. Former
l'rcniier Asquith moved a resolution
expressing abhorrence of the recent
Dublin assassinations, and condem
nation of reprisals and urging im
mediate steps to bung about Irish
l acification. An amendment by Col
.loan ward convened this motion
into an expression of admiration for
the courage and devotion of the
crown forces in Ireland. This wu
adopted by 303 to 83,vand the mo
tion as thus amended was adopted
by acclamation amid cheers.
The chief secretary appealed to
the house to show evrry considera
tion by word and by resolution for
tiie police, soldiers, civil servants
and judges who, he declared, were
obeying the orders o' parliament and
fighting a battle against assassina
tion and not against . the Irish
fejf i.cople. .. '. -
Planned to Destroy Socks.
1 Alleged plans for blowing up the
i Liverpool docks and the Manchester
J power and water plants are said
' to show that they were made in mil
itary fashion after detailed reports
with drawings had been forwarded
to Irish republican army officers by
j . spies at each place. The plans, which
the documents relating to the
spreading of typhoid and glanders
were captured were made public
after the statement of Sir Hamer
Greenwood in the house of com
mons. The Liverpool plans called for 23
officers, 27 engineers and 75 pri
vates and 800 pounds of a high ex
plosive for attacking 21 points, most
of them dock gates, with a view to
stranding ships.
Diversions suggested in the report
would consist of "numerous fires in
cotton and other warehouses, statt
ing a half hour , before the other
operations.
Apparently every precaution was
taken for dialing jwith the "enemy
forces" the?; polie of both liver
pool and Manchester, The Manches
ter plan called ftfr destruction of the
street car power plant serving both
industries and tram lines and also
the Clayton Valley pumping station
which furnishes water to a larger
part ot Manchester. Hammers and
explosives were to have been used.

Representative Dickinson to
Demand Investigation of Ex
, treme Drop in Grain, Live
Stock and Cotton.
: Washington, Nov. 25.A"A Immc
diate investigation by congress to
determine the 'cause of he extreme
decline and violent fluctuations in the
price of grain, live stock -tmd cotton
m the past six months will be asked
by Congressman L. J. Dickinson of
Iowa when congress reconvenes.
Congressman . Dickinson already
has prepared a resolution calling for
such an investigation.- V It declares
that the levels to. which the prices
of agricultural commodities have
descended, in many instances below
the prewar mark, are threatening
the food supply of the atioh and
driving out producers, making relief
imperative. ...!;
The declines and fluctuations, the
resolution further , declares, have
been too extreme ' to have . been
caused by the natural law of Supply
and demand, and. it would have the
investigators determine to what, ex
tent speculators- and manipulators
are responsible for the deflation,-with
a view to preventing further activi
ties on their nart;
- In conducting- the investigation,
Representative Dickinson proposes
to call members of the committee,
of 17 of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, which has been making
a study of the situation, and he will
also have access to . data , recently
collected, .by the federal trade com
mission. In . the' same connection
the annual convention of theJarm
Bureau federation in Indianapolis
on December. 6, 7 and 8 is expected
to furnish some interesting develop
ments, which I will be closely .fol
lowed by Representative Dickinson
and others who are pushing the in
quiry. f ' . ,
