THE BEE: OMAHA, SUNDAY, JULY 31, 1921. J5 C Warrants Issued For Apprehension Of British Chiefs WVit nf AttaTimn Onf fnr r General MacReady and Major General Strick land in Ireland. By Th Aiutx-latrd Tlf. Dublin, July 30. Writs of attach went, calling for the apprehension of General Sir Nevil MacReady, commander of the British troops in Ireland, "and Major General Stride land, commander in Munster, were issued today by the master of the &ol!s. Sergeant Hanna, attorney tor General MacReady and General Strickland and also for the governor of Limerick jail for whom :i similar writ was issued, announced that a notice of an appeal against the de cision of the master of the rolls, would be lodged with the house of lord. The case had its origin in the fail tire of those against whom tho writs were issued to comply with proceed ings in habeas corpus to produce John E. Egan. under sentence of death by a military court in Lim erick, in court today. Sergeant Hanna told the master of the rolls that he had been in structed by General MacReady to in form the court that, pending a final hearing on the appeal, the sentences of death against Egan and an other prisoner named Higgins would be unexpected. No Arrests Expected, Uncertainty prevails here as to the next step in the case. Dublin is not under martial law and it is therefore presumed that General MacReady who is now in London, and the others against whom the -.writs were issued, are liable to arrest. While the writs have been issued, no' arrests are expected. The con tention of the military authorities is that they acted not under the ordi nary law, but under martial law, which they claim superseded the civil jurisdiction. The case follows the historic precedent in the case of Wolfe Tone, the Irish revolutionist, who was captured on a French squadron on its way to Ireland in 1798 and sentenced to death. - The Evening Telegraph says Egan no longer is in Limerick jail. It adds that the habeas corpus order made by the master of the rolls was served on the prison governor Wednesday and that three hours later a party of the military arrived in lorries and removed Egan, whose present where abouts is unknown.

The general supposition now is that there will be no new move in the peace negotiations pending1 the expected release of those members of the Dail Eireann who are in jail and summoning of a full meet- Temooranlv. the peace negotia tions have been overshadowed by the extraordinary action of the military authorities in Ireland, Gen. Sir Nevil MacReady, Maj. Gen. Sir Ed ward Strickland and others, in defy ing the master of the rolls by failing to comply with writs of habeas cor pus, which he ordered in connection with the sentencing to death of John Egan and the reported spirit ing away of Egan to an unknown place. .

Em ery, , national commander of the American Legion, wired President Harding that to free such prisoners would be interpreted as a license to disregard law and order.

A searching party had calculated the . probable course that Dr. and Mrs. Stone would take in the at tempt to ascend Mount Eanon.

How Mrs. Stone became marooned on a ledee of rock she does not know, She could oroceed neither way. In that position she spent eight days She had no food, but during the mid dle of each day when the sun was high a tiny stream of melted snow came trickline down, close enough that she could refresh herselt. she never gave up the fight. Every day she cried for help and it was because of this spirit that she eventually was discovered. Dr. Stone seemed to have had a oresentiment that the venture might end in disaster. When he and Mrs. Stone departed from camp on Mount Assiniberne, the Matterhorn ot tne Canadian Rockies on July IS, he left word that if they did not return in three davs a searching party should be sent out.. The mountain is almost inaccessible. Last year a Wakefield oartv made an unsuccessful attempt to scale it.
