P.)-At today's meeting of the parliament ol northern Ireland Sir James Craig, the premier, announced that the Irish republican army had been pro claimed an illegal assembly, says a Central News dispatch from Bel fast. The parliament later ad- iourned as mark of respect to W. . Twaddell, its murdered member. Belfast, May 2J. (By A. P. The greatest raid in the recent his tory of Ireland was carried out ear ly today whr.n swarms of polire swept through Ulster and rounded up 20 Sinn Feiners, the majority.of whom were Irish republican army officers. The northern government's action was takeji, it was stated, in an ctTort to suppress not only the Irish re publican army and the Irish repub lican brotherhood, but all other Sinn Fein organizations in the six county areas. The prisoners were captuted dur ing a big encircling movement em bracing the six Ulster counties. The movement was begun at 1 o'clock this morning and the work of visit ing the various houses, town and country, was rapidly carried out. Several hundred members of the con stabulary and a large staff of offi cers had been on duty from mid night completing the arrangements. Most of those wanted were surprised and in most instances were aroused from sleep. ; Ulster Will Make No; Boundary Concessions Belfast, May 23. Ulster will make no concessions to- south Ireland on ' the boundary question, Sir James Craig, the premier, declared in -the parliament session here this after noon. . , "What we have we hold," declared the premier in answering an inquiry. The immediate consequence, of. the -"agreement rteached by the two fac tions in southern Ireland was that there would be no boundary com mission appointed in any circum stances, said Sir James. He made this assertion, he said, "without equivocation or reservation," adding that the time had passed for mutual accommodation. . The Collins-De Valera agreement-had . changed the whole situation. Although he was prepared to treat with the southern representatives within the limits of the British empire, he was not pre pared to treat, he said, with a com posite government, half of which was practically republican in sentiment and the other half of which did not refute the statement that the Alglo Irish treaty was a step toward a re- public. " 1 Ard Fheis Ratifies Pact, , Dublin, Mav 23. (By. A. P.)-The Ard Fheis, the national Sinn Fein organization, ratified at its meeting today the agreement reached last week by the factions in the Dail Eireann regarding elections and the composition of the government. After voting its approval the session adjourned. , Michael Collins, head of the pro visional government, in addressing the Ard Fheis, said the value of the ' agreement reached by the Dail last . Saturday was that it secured the unity of the nation, 'enabling Ireland to end the disorder, 'if ae dae hem said, this aeree- mcnt ininerils the Anglo - Irish treaty," said Collins,, "we will have to face that in this manner. We have made an agreement which will bring stable conditions to the country and if these stable conditions are not more valuable than any other agree ment, then we must face what these stable conditions will enable us to face." To Strengthen De Valera. Dublin, May 23. The wholesale arrest of Sinn Feijiers by the Ulster authorities today is regarded in Dublin as an unhappy development for the southerners in favor of con ciliation, and the opinion was freely expressed that it might result in strengthening the republican party led by Mr. de Valera. : Cabinet Discusses Ireland.

Pieiidcnt Harding let it be known today that he is hopeful but not over enthusi astic, as to the possibility of results to come from the railroad dinner at the White House last Saturday night. Although the executives have gone to work with a demonstration of good will and are conferring with the Interstate Commerce co'mmis- : non witn a view to reaching some ' ground for voluntary rate redue I tions, if possible, the president is not unmindiul of grave obstacles to be overcome. Would Move Board. If no voluntary rate reduction ar rangement can be made at this time, the president sees nothing to be done but to wait for the Interstate Com merce commission to do its level best in readjusting the rates under the taw with its limitations, par ticularly the provision that requires rates which will bring about a just teturn to the roads. This the presi dent has intimated, will take some time, indicating that the commis sion has not reached a final decision cn the hearings which have been con ducted for many months. President Harding reiterates his opinion that the railroad lahor board should be removed from Chicago to Washington. He thiuks that this would be a step in the right direc tion to establish a point of contact between agencies dealing with the railroad problem. Before this can be done, ot course, the transportation act must be amended. Scott Opposes Bills. Bruce Scott of Chicago, general solicitor of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad, told the house interstate commerce committee to day that enactment of either the Sweet or Hoch bills to limit the jur isdiction of the Interstate Commerce commission over intrastate rates would be a misfortune to interstate commerce. The Sweet bill, in par ticular, would repeal the provision of the transportation act tnat rates oe fixed to yield a fair return to the carriers'. . .Mr. Scott also, argued in favor of giving the transportation act a fair trial, declaring. that . much of. the criticism that has been made against it has been unjust. Since enact ment of the law, he said, conditions have been abnormal so that the act has not been given an opportunity to prove its practicability. Result of Prohibition .

" "When I balance the result, offset the uplifting of the poor arid strug gling and the salvation which pro hibition brought to many wives and children against the alleged degrada tion of the rich, well, I have no doubt the net result for the country has been good," she. continued. Lady, Astor declared that the only anti-American propaganda she has seen in England was engendered by liquor interests which have gone into politics over the liquor question. She said prohibition has shown itself not only a problem of social welfare, but of clean politics as well. . - Honolulu Mystic Shrine First to Reach ban trancisco San Francisco, May 23.-!-Aloha tl Unnnlultt thp first temolc .1.

First Meeting Today Pari, May 23, A big loan lo Ger many or none at all appears lo be the fir it idea with uhii'h the bunkers for many nations now aucmblinft in Paris for their first meeting tomor row are approaching their work. Sir Robert Kiudersley of England, M. Vocriug of Holland, and SigiWr D'Amelic of Italy, were among the bankers who looked into the offices of the allied reparations commission today in preparation for tomorrow's meeting. Talk in Billions. A good deal of informal talk i going on between the French and foreign financiers as to the range of discussious and the manner in which the committee will begin its work. The prevailing thought is that the hankers are not coming together for the purpose of finding investments, as they all have under consideration at home more opportunities for em ploying their capital than they have money. If. however, by arranging a loan to Germany they can settle the economic situation in Europe for some years to come, they will attempt it. Their attitude of mind is de scribed as a conviction that nothing can be done with the equivalent of $100,000,000 or $200,000,000, and there is no motive for lending Germany for pusely temporary purposes. Such a sum, it is felt, would be spent on reparations or in other ways within four or five months, leaving a fresh crisis on the same problems unsettled. Consequently the first suggestions range from the equivalents of $500,000,000 to $2,000,000,000 for im mediate issue. The billion figure appears to be the favored one, but whether any loan is possible, it is thought, could be decided only if the governments concerned could agree to some conditions of immense and decisive character. Want Decisive Action. In the first place the Belgian gov ernment must surrender, partially at least, its priority on German repara tions. Belgium still has something like a billion and a half gold francs due it. It is expected also that the British government will reduce . Great Brit ain's" proportion of 22 per cent of the reparations, because it is more inter ested in the economic adjustment and tranquility of Europe than in its chances of cash from Germany. . The French government, too, it is believed, will reduce its expectations of cash payments. The amount of time the loan issue should run and the rate of interest are regarded as far less important questions and as much more easily solved than the larger governmental policies involved, , ' ' J. P. Morgan, the American rep resentative on the committee, ar rived from London ' late this after noon. Hungarian Musicians War With Yank Jazz Artists Budapest, May 23.
