The military have taken over much of the boundary line and the Sinn Feiners now face seasoned and well armed troops equipped with artillery, instead of the special Ulster constab- uary men. London newspapers refrain from commenting upon the situation but the Daily News, basing its information on a dispatch from its correspondent from Ennisskjllen, said today under its biggest headline that the crisis has been deliberately faked for political purposes and that the provocation to war comes from the Ulster side of the border.

(Associated Press.) —Authentic details of the capture of Pettigoe show that a British staff of- ficer entered the village at noon yes- terday and gave the republicans hold- ing the town fifteen minutes to leave. Some Immediately departed, but about 100 decided to oppose the military. At the expiration of the time limit, the British crossed the bridge leading into the village and were received with machine gun and rifle fire. Then the British artillery came into action and when the first shell landed on a hill behind the town some of the more timid of the defenders dashed for safety. Four more shells fol- lowed In quick succession and one, striking In the middle of a party of the retreating Sinn Feiners, inflicted several casualties. Troops, which had been landed secretly from Boa Island, in Lough Erne, during the night, took the republicans in the rear, but several managed to escape through their superior knowledge of the country. It la officially stated that but one member of the crown forces was killed. Seven republicans are known to have been killed, while sixteen were made prisoners, including the commandant. It is understood that Belleek, ten miles southwest of Pettigoe, is still held by the republicans, but that Mag- heramena Castle has been evacuated. There it considerable Interest here regarding the fate of the Belleek tort, the holding of which by the re- publicans practically renders the bar- rack there untenable. British Troops Take Pettigoe. OYERSEERS TO TAKE DP JEWISHJUESTION MAY SETTLE QUESTION OF LIM- ITING STUDENT BODY RE- CENTLY RAISED. Cambridge, Mass., June 5. (Associ- ated Press.)—The question of limit- ing enrollment of students at Harvard College, which in some quarters has been said to involve an intention to restrict the number of Jews to be ad- mitted htreaftei, was expected to come before the board of overseer.* to the university today. The board includes in its membership of thir- ty some of the most notable men in the country. It was not understood that the meeting was called specially to consider the subject of limitation or selection of enrollment but It was understood the meeting was likely to devOta its attention largely to that question as one of the most important to the college which has called for action in many years. The development of the question nts to the present stage has been fairly well outlined. It appears that a group of students, some of them Jews, at a meeting several months ago, dis- cussed the part lhat the large number of undergraduates of that race pres- ent at the college was playing in its life. This number has been esti- mated at 18 to 20 per cent. The meeting made certain representation to the faculty. Subsequently the problem of in- creasing enrollment, came up. Th? faculty voted to authorize President Lowell to appoint a special commit- tee to consider principles and meth- ods for more effectively sifting candi- dates for admission. In a discussion of the problem, n spokesman for the university, answer- ing a specific question, said that in considering such a wide problem It was natural that there should be talk about the proportion of Jews at the college. A day or two later two orders were Issued by the Massachusetts House of Representatives calling for an inquiry of the proposed new plan for enroll- ment with a view of determining whether it involved discrimination against Jews. The sessions of the board of overseers are executive. BAKHMETEFF OUT AS I COTTON MILL GATES ENYOY FROM RUSSIA!OPEN,BUT FEW ENTER HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED AS SUCH SINCE KERENSKY REGIME.

Manchester, N. H., June 5. (Asso- ciated Press.)—The gates of six of the cotton mills of New Hampshire were open today for the first time in three months. When the whistle blew calling 30,000 to work, thousands were near the mills, but only scanty hundreds responded, according to observers. There were demonstrations at all the mills, but without disorders. Tlie strike began on February 13, as a pro- test aaginst a wage reduction of 20 per cent, and an increase from 48 to 54 hours in working schedules. At the Coolidge mills of the Amos- keag Manufacturing Company, one of the principal interests affected by the strike, only 110 workers out of the 13,000 normally employed entered the mill gates. The biggest, picket line since the inception of the strike was present, notwithstanding a police rul- ing that only two pickets should be on duty. Thousands of strike sym- pathizers filled the streets for a mile on either side of the mill and would- b workers were jeered and hooted. Chief of Police M. J. Healy arrested Frank A. Foy, son of a police ser- geant, and Dervard Healy on a charge of inciting to riot. A handful of striking employes of tho Pacific mills at Dover appeared to resume work. They went into the mills, but walked out. again soon aft- erwards, and the mill gates wore shut once more. More than a thousand strikers pa- raded the business section of Dover bearing placards. At Nashua, N. H., where mill No. 1 of the Nashua company and the sheeting mills of tire JaclrsOn plant were reopened, comparatively few operatives returned. The Great Falls mill at Somers- worth also was said to have had only a scanty response to the announce- ment of reopening. Agent Stiles said the mill would continue to operate, however. 80 PERISH AS STEAMER SINKS FOLLOWING FIRE- BIG NAPHTHA EXPLOSIONS Disaster Overtakes Villa France on Par- ana River in Argentina—Carried Hundred Passengers.

Ward, wealthy baker and Clarence Peters, the ex- sailor whom he shot, "quarreling in front of the Ward home in New Rochelle on May 11 or 15." Ward claims he shot Peters in self defense the night of May 15, near the Keniso Reservoir. Mrs. Blanchard told newspaper moa two other men were with Ward anl Peters. Search now is being made for, a mysterious pair—known to Ward as "Charley Ross" and "Sack" who he says were with Peters when the shoot- ing occurred. The grand jury impaneled today de- clim (1 to hear evidence in the Ward, shooffjxr case, after County Judge "Wil-* liam Blakely, who charged it, pointed out that he formerly had been a law partner of John F. Brennan of Yon- kers, counsel for Walter S. Ward. It wan thereupon decided to issu? an emergency call for the May grand jury which has not yet been discharg- ed. District Attorney Weeks plans" to submit the case to the May Juryv tomorrow. Judge Blakely told ;he district at- torney that he thought, because of his former association with"Mr. Brennan,' It would be better not to have his, jury investigate the shooting of Clar- ence Peters, to which Ward has con- fessed, pleading self defense. Mr.j Weeks then put the matter straight' up to the jury. They decided the/ would rather not hear the evidence. Only Servants Appear. entlr hold had been subpoenaed, only Lulu, Barrows, nurse, and Amy Mild, cook,' were seen at the court house. It wasj learned, however, that Mrs. Ward was near by and could be produced in five | minutes if she was desired. Maurice J. McCarthy, lawyer for James J. Cunningham, detained as a naterial witness, announced he In-' tended going to Supreme Court Jus- tice Seeger with habeas corpus pro-; ceedings to try to get his client re-j leased on bail. McCarthy said that if the jury wished to examine Cunning-; ham, whose version of the shooting differs from Ward's, he would go be- fore the Investigating body. He said he had not yet learned, however, whether bis client would waive im- munity. Habeas Corpus Writ Signed. A little later Justice Seegar signed a writ of habeas corpus upon applica- tion of Cunningham's lawyer. Sher- iff Werner said he would have his 1 man present when the hearing was ; called at 2 o'clock. In charging the | jury before it had declined to hear ! the Ward case, Judge Blakel said the : shooting had been charged against u^ ' man of wealth, but this should not in- fluence a grand jury in its investiga-- , lion. Last night Cunningham destroyed Ihe probability that a man. John Ci- | enzo, attested in Philadelphia and' found to be wounded in the arm. ! could be the Jackson in the Ward , case. When shown a picture of (Men-. I zo by a newspaper man, Cunningham i declared that Cienzo was not the man! he had helped. \ Cienzo Thrice Tries to Escape.
