FRANCIS P. FAHEY
PHUADELPfflAN FEARS
BROTHER WHO FOUGHT
IN IRISH REVOLT IS DEAD
Hears Also That His Former
Tutor Has Been Sentenced
to Prison Term for Part
in Uprising
SAYS FIGHT WILL GO ON
Two of the many Irish prisoners taken
by tho British troops In tho rebellion In
Ireland nro a brother and a former tutor
of a Phlladelphlan, who today expressed
fears that his brother has been executed
for his part In tho uprising,
The nnxlous brother Is Jnmcs F. Stack,
n salesmnn. of 3727 Spring Garden street.
Ho learned from a dlspntch yesterday
that Francis P. Fnhey, his former Instruc
tor In Trnlee, Ireland, hnd been sentenced
to 10 years as a rebel. Ho has had no
vtord of his brother, Austin Stack, com
mander of a Kerry battalllon of Irish
volunteers, for several days.
"I fear tho worst," Mr. Stack snld.
The Kerry commander was arrested at
Trnlee tho day Sir Itoger Casement was
captured off tho Tralco basin whlle'at
tempting to run through tho British patrol
boat cordon. "Aiding 'and nbettlnn the
enemy," was the charge. Ncwb .of the
nrrcst waa In tho dispatches. Three fail
ures subsequently to receive replies to
cablegrams cause him to believe that his
brother has been sent to the Tower of
London and perhaps executed. Until a
year ago his brother had been conneated
with tho British internal revenue service.
Fahey, who is a doctor 'of phltosophy
and a brilliant writer, became prominent
in the rebellion through his pen, Mr. Stack
said. Ho probably did not take nn active
part In the uprising, ns ho decried rioting
and slaughter, according to Mr. Stack.
The Irish leader, was professor of French
in Edwards Street College, Trnlee. when
Mr. Stack was a'student there seven years
ngo. At the tlmo ot his nrrest ho wub a
professor In Dtackrock College and was
considered one of Ireland's most brilliant
young scholars. He is about 35 years old.
"This rebellion, while It Is suicidal, will
contlnuo," said Mr. Stack, who hns been
In this country six years. "It Is and will
continue to be more serious than the
British dispatches state. It Is not merely
a riot In Dublin, but it Is a well-planned,
deliberate revolution that Is sweeping
Ireland. I know that fighting Btlll con
tlnuesn the south of Ireland, where there
are twns In complete possession of the
revolutionists.
"They know they are committing sui
cide, but they would rather be shot in
Dublin than in the Dardanelles. They are
fighting for their lives. They do not want
conscription.'
The execution of the Irish leaders was
a grave mistake on the part of tho British
authorities, Mr. Stp.ck asserted.
The killings will only Inflame those
who are against the government'and will
decide those who were wavering In the
balance In favor of the rebels," he said,
"Where 90 per cent, of the Irish former
ly were against the English govern
ment, they now number 95 or 98 per cent."
The Irish revolutionaries were well-supplied
with arms and ammunition, he
added. He told of hundreds of thousands
of dollars' worth of munitions stored in
secret hiding places along the Irish coast
and in towns where gups and cartridges
were distributed by automobile after be
ing landed by gun-runners.
"The British will never find It all," he
said.
MAYOR BATS "FLIES'
Also Knocks Subway Grounders to
Son Fred Not Worried by Pen-
rose Commission Rule Threat
Mayor Smith, at Glenside this "morning,
seized a baseball bat and batted out
"files" to his 11-year-old constituent, Fred
Smith. He didn't seem to be wprrled by
the statement of Senator Penrose, who
Intimated last night that he would strive
to bring about a commission form of gov
ernment, The Mayor emerged from his home
about 8 o'clock in his shirt sleeves and,
while knocking a few "subway grounders"
to Fred, hatted ad lib. wth. a few news
papermen. "I Intend to use Saturday as a holiday,"
he said, and biff! a liner went to tho
boy. ."I'm not going to talk politics or
public questions."
Fred Smith approved'hls daddy's plans
and looked Impatiently ,at the reporters as
he waited to gather up the next bit.
After a little batting practice the Mayor
bundled his youngsters intb an automo
bile and took a ride. He returned at noon.
After luncheon the Mayor donned a green
Korfolk suit and a plaid cap. He parried
Sof sticks. He reiterated his determina
tion to refrain from discussing anything
of public Import and droe off in his car.

Injury Loss $20,000
Flra In tho plant of the Quaker City
Milling Company, 3010 Mnrket street, at
tracted attention for moro than a mllo
around nnd caused n toss of about $20,000.
The company was producing flour for the
Allies lind with hundreds of bags of the
material on tho top floor of the four
story warehouse, enough flour was burned
last night to feed several regiments
Twenty employes of tho plant wero
working In the building when tho fire
started. Several men were In a machine
room on the top floor. Of two exits, one
could not be reached because of tho In
tense heat, but they escaped after death
had seemed Imminent.
All employes were paid yesterday after
noon nnd when somo of tho men fled they
left their salary envelopes behind In their
coat pockets. One of them attempted to
ro-enter tho building nnd recover his coat,
but tho police threatened him with arrest
and ho desisted.
It was one of tho most spectacular Arcs
seen in Philadelphia for many months.
Columns of flame, nt least 50 feet high,
shot into the nlr continuously. Passengers
on the Market street elevated lino had a
good view of tho blaze. When tho cars on
tho surface line wero delayed for more
than an hour, men nnd women nllghted,
watching tho progress of tho fire until
truffle was resumed. According to Samuel
Bell, president of tho company, the causo
of the. flro was a spark from a passing

RAIDERS MAKE SEIZURE '
OF ILLEGAL DRUGS
Continued from l'ate One '
Doctor Murry, of tho Internal Revenue
Department, and Joseph Dl Giovanni, of
thfllState Pharmaceutical Board. They
were assisted by the police and Policemen
Pachelll nnd Hicks, of "Charlie" Lee's
vice squad,
As If by prearrangement, things, were
quiet In the Tenderloin last night. ' Gov
ernment olllclals relaxed their customary
vigilance, and the "stools" and other in
formers, which are said to Infest that sec
tion, were led to believe that a peaceful
night wns ahead for those who "sniff" or
"hit the pipe," or better still, for those
who coin money by trafficking In the
"stuff."
In the small hours of the morning, the
raiders left theh- headquarters stealthily
and "spotted" the Ifouses they Intended to
enter. Oyler and Colonel Beach and Mc
Devltt distributed their men with great
care, but reserved the lion's share of tho
work for themselves the raid at North
10th street.
All were heavily armed Agent Oyler
decided not to ring the bell, as It would
arouse Buaplclon, and every second In
such a raid counts. The door was forced,
and the raiders made their way upstairs
to a room they had spotted In advance.
Knocking, Oyler knew, would be useless,
although there was a light In the room.
One heave of his shoulder and the door
went crashing Inward, Martin and
Rowan, the only occupants of the room,
according to the raiders, evidently knew
what was coming, Martin made a dive
for a suitcase, the officials Bald, ( as If to
hide It. Seeing It was useless, he showed
fight at first, but, changing his mind
suddenly, dashed to the window and
slipped over the ledge before they could
stop him.
Martin evidently hung from the window
sill before dropping to the street below.
The Inspectors had drawn their guns,
but hesitated to shoot, knowing that
others -were on guard below. Martin
nearly fell Into the arms of Policeman
Hicks, of the vice squad- He fought like
a madman, but soon was overpowered,
Rowan surrendered when he saw the
blue steel of several .38 calibres.
Meanwhile other raids had been made
Jn Chinatown. One proved fruitless, but
at 911 Race street Charles Sing was
found, with two packages of opium, ac
cording" to the police. Doyle and May
Dalton were arrested in a raid at Summer
near 12th- street Inspectors said they
had only a8mall amount of "dope" in
their possession. The charge against Mar
tin and Rowan will be the only serious
ones. Only recently a "dope" peddler was
given 18 months by Judge Dickinson,
while several are serving sentences of
more than one year in Atlanta.
Ralph Oyler, special agent, was "Im
ported" here after the resignation of John
Glover, to enforce the Harrison act In
this city. He is Bald to have a long
record behind him. having "cleaned up"
many Eastern and Western States.

MEEKINS CASE ARREST
MAY BE MADE TODAY
Detectives, Positive That Boy
Was Murdered, Follow Clue
to Delaware County
An arrest In the Meeklns case Is a
probability today.
The police are certain now that Rich
ard, whose body was found near 70th
street and Botanic avenue, was murdered,
The clue from which an arrest Is ex
pected to result leads to Delaware County,
but that was nil. Detective Timlin, who
has charge of the hunt, would say about
.it. v I
This clue Is different from the one that
leads to Chester. Detectives Farrell and
Hodge have been Investigating that In
formation that a half-witted man In Ches
ter, a man with a criminal record, was
the man they were searching for In con
nection with the Meeklns case came to the
police yesterday.
The sleuths are working on the theory
that he Is the man who wrote the two
notes to Mrs. Luke Meeklns, mother of
the youngster, describing what was pur
ported to be the kidnaping of Richard
and his subsequent murder. The lad was
burled yesterday In Mount Moriah Ceme
tery after serylces at the home, 2449
South 6 1st street.
The police believe the boy was mur
dered by Btangulatloiu This belief was
strengthened by the announcement at the
office of the Coroner that an autopsy had
been completed and that there was evi
dence - injuries to the windpipe.

Ben Franklin, who wns converted from

believer In preparedness, would Btnlle ap

PROVES BUT IDLE RUMOR
By LISETTA NEUKOM
CHEVY CHASE. Md., May 6. Waih
Inglon society buds, who are here at the
Chen' Chase military camp for women,
are good "rookies." .
They proved It Wednesday night. But
the news of what they were accused of
doing, but did not do, was n secret until
this morning! and even now the authori
ties do not know their carefully guarded
story has reached tho enrs of reporters.
Alt students have orders "not to talk" to
reporters.
And this is the story ot the accused In
nocents: Wednesday night, nbout llghts-oiit time,
when the young feminine soldiers wero
getting ready for bed, something strange
happened, an unprecedented. thing.
They were all called forth out Into
the night lined up In companies and re
quired to answer ' rollcatl, Tho authori
ties made no effort to conceal from the
young women tho reason for the rollcnll
at such an unearthly hour.
They said, "There is a rumor that three
young women havo escaped from camp
and that they have gone to nttend a dance
nt tho Chevy Chase Country Club. We
want to find out If there Is any truth in
the rumor. In other words, wo want to
find out If thoy are here."
The roll was called.
EVERYBODY "HERE."
There wns nn nnswer from out of the
darkness for every name.
If there hnd not been the threo girls,
whoo names, of course, are not known
outside camp circles, would have been
dismissed In dlsgrnce from the camp. That
is one of the penalties of being nbsent nt
taps.
Tho Chevy Chase Country Club Is one
whero tho elite of Washington gather.
Many of the girls go there often when not
under military discipline.
Lato that night the campers were dis
turbed by tho lights of an nutomobllo.
OfTlctals "called on" the police nnd ma
rines, who nro guarding the girls. The
Intruders "wero sent away. Whether the
motorists were coming for the girls, "who
never appeared," or whether they wore
"Just horrid things" who came to scare
tho campers is unknown. i
Three skirts have been stolen "from
the camp, but because the uniform dealer
Is on the grounds dally, no Inconvenience
was suffered
As n result of this, even the officer
of tho day ls to have a whistle, so an
alarm may bo given In caso suspicious
characters aro seen lurking near the
grounds.
Miss Esther I, Stiles, of Tryn Mawr,
was one of the guards B,day. She
sered under Miss Williams, daughter of
Colonel and Mrs. John R. Williams, of
Washington, sister of Mrs. Joseph Leiter.
whoso husband Is tho Joseph Letter of
wheat-pit fame. Miss Williams comes
of n family of fighters. v
Miss Isabel Goodonow, daughter of the
president of Johns Hopkins University,
Baltimore, registered today. Miss Callle
Hoke Smith, daughter of Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, Is among tho students
of the camp. Miss Goodenow has her
automobile here and Is doing scout duty.
Miss Smith is specializing In telegraphy.
Major Robert W. Patterson, of the Na
tional Red Cross, today appointed Dr.
Ryan Devereau camp surgeon.
Miss Mary Martha Wiley, a Pittsburgh
"rookie" In the camp here, read her first
newspaper since her arrival here, today,
and learned for the first time of tho strike
in her homo city. She Is specializing in
first aid, and says she Is willing, to go
home and work there If necessary,
RULES WERE STRICT.
A new rule went Into effect today. In
the future even Papa and Mamma, when
they come to see their "soldier" daughters,
may not go to the tents, for which they
are paying the rent, unless they aro ac
companied by ofTlcers. The visiting hour
of 5 to G has been extended from i to 6.
Mosquitoes will have a tough time from
now on. They must not be whirring and
buzzing and whizzing here to feast them
selves on the sweet morsels here at camp,
when the soldier maids sleep. They too
have been barred by new mosquito bars.
The bars are theregulation army ones
such as are used In the tropics by Amer
ican soldiers. They are placed on spe
cially arranged frames, so the girls are not
bothered with netting while they sleep.
Mrs. Richard Walnwrlght, National
Commissioner of the Girl Scouts of
America, Is the speaker this afternooji.
Her subject will be "Be Prepared." She
will be assisted by a troop of the Wash
ington Girl Scouts, who demonstrate
signaling and first aid.
Tomorrow the girls are to appear in
white Instead of khaki. This will be the
first time they have been It: civilian cloth
ing since last Monday morning.
