ULSTER MAKES CLEAN SWEEPS

MANY SINN FEIXERS ARRESTED.

Losos. May 23.

The arrests made in Ulster fas cabied earlier) werE carried out by specials chiedy in the country districts and were not confined to the military. They included, according to a Belfast tergram, every available Siza

Feiner:

SINN FEIN SOCIETIES OUTLAWED. Three hundred were seized on the Tyrone border and cisty at Fermanagh, including members of Nation alist Public Boards. Fifay were arrested in Belfast whence, it is reportai, mang Sinn Feiners had previous

led. The arrested men were taken to a secret intern ment camp. Fourteen URA. ofEcers were strusted in Londonderry where the authcritics announce that large concentrations of I.RA. irregues in East Donegal were recently preparing to invade the city. The North Ireland Government to day proclaimed the LP., Irish Republican Brotherhood, the Irish Volunteers and the Cumannamban (boy scouts, and girl guides) illegal anċ their merabers liable to arrest and prosecution. BRITISH CABINET CONSIDERING SITUATION.

A Cabinet meeting is to be held in London to-day under the presidency of Mr. Lord George to consider the situation.

ONLY 202 HELD IN CUSTODY.

LONDON. May 24. Earlier estimates of the arrestel Sinn Feiners in North and are modified by later returns given by the Premier (Sir James Craig) to the Northern Par lament stating the number retained in custody as being 202.

THE VOICE OF THE SOUTHERNERS.

LOYDON, May 23. The Ardfleis or Sine Fein convention attended Ly two thousand delegates at Dublin on the motion of ME De Valera seconded by Mr. Colline approved the agree ment of May.20.

Mr. De Valera, presiding, said that the agreement was a peace triumph for the nation whose credit abroad had been seriously impaired in the past six months. The restoration of order and unity was essential to enable them to concentrate on t e position in the North East

corner.

Amid cheers Mr. Collins, referring to the stat-ment that the agreement imperilled the Treaty, said if that was so the situation must be faced whether it came from the outside or any other quarter. It was inconceivable that stable conditions in Ireland could injure anybody: North East Ireland was making a last desperate stand for ascendency, bat the voice of the united southerners, could not be ignored.

The convention adjourned until October.

BOTTOMLEY'S DEFENCE.

SPEECH ENDS IN TEARS.

LONDON, May. 23. Bottomley opened bis defeas with a speech lasting 14 hours. He said that the only question was whether he intended to steal the money of poor devils like ex-soldiers who had subscribed to the bond clubs. If be were convicted on such an indictment the jury would be bound to add a rider that he was insane. Heaven grant that he would be literated in a few daye to resume his work and see that nobody lost their money, hatever the depreciation of the stock. He would prove that he was paying out much larger sums than he received. Therefore he was not guilty of frand. If subscribers had not clamoured for their money the stock would have been held to-day and would have realised a

abstential proft.

Bottomley burst into tears on remming his seat. Further bearing was adjourned..
