IRISH FACTIONS
ARM IN GREAT
NUMBERS
ESTIMATED THAT EIGHTY THOU
SAND VOLUNTEERS ARE
READY FOR FIELD
"
Dublin, July 7. Estimates com
piled by the police of the number of
the Irish nationalist volunteers vary
tetween 80,000, which is the Dublin
Castle figure compiled by the police,
a quarter of a million, which is the
estimate given in platform speeches.
Careful Inquiry shows that there are
60,000 in Linster, which takes the lead,
about 45,000 in Ulster (increasing ra
pidly) 35,000 in Minister and 25,000
In Connaught.
The difficulty of exact estimate aris
es from the fact that the movement
1 not organized from the center. Forc
es have sprung up stontaneously In
every pariah, and so far are only
loosely connected with the provisional
central body. There has been a com
plete wiping out of all class distinc
tions, and the rank and file Include
every grade farmers, laborers, shop
assistants, clerks, doctors, lawyers and
country gentlemen. There is a very
strong leaven of time-expired soldiers
old Connaught rangers, Dublin Fusi
liers, and Munster fusiliers, and their
experience is proving useful iu the
drill.
The chief military commanders are
Colonel Maurice Moore, who com
manded the Connaught rangers In the
Boar war, and Captain White, a son
of the General White, who defended
Ladysmith. Recent accessions are Sir
Henry Grattan Bellew, a grandson of
the great Henry Gratton, who had ex
perience in the fifth Dragon guards;
and Captain Bellingham, brother of
the Marchioness of Bute, who is' at
present an aide-de-camp to the lord
lieutenant. Military experience, howev
er slight, Is at a premium, and a
medical student, with a little volun
teer training. Is commanding as ser
geant a squad which includes among
the privates, a university professor of
law.
The army has extremely little equip
ment and almost no money. But the
material Is excellent and the enthusi
asm unbounded. Mr. Redmond's open
association with the2movement will re
move the difficulty of getting money.
The men In charge of the movement
are for the most part unknown and
there has 'been much reluctance to pro
vide funds till the public knew who
would spend the money and for what
The central body consists of 25 men,
of them 15 are said to be home rulers
in sympathy with Mr. Redmond, but
the more active, influential and effec
tive spirits are members of the Sinn
Fein party. They have few support
ers In the country and the great bulk
of the volunteers are supporters of
Redmond. Mr. Redmond offered his
i
co-operation to the central body if he
as allowed to nominate an equal
number of men on it, pending the elec
tion of the volunteer branches of a
central executive. Failing acceptance
he will recommend each county to
rovern itself.
This orfer was rejected in a hastily
summoned meeting of the executives
who proposed that each county should
elect a representative to sit with
them. This has produced strong pro
test from Professor Kerr who says
the meeting was not properly convened
and asks for a full meeting when the
me mbers would accept Mr. Redmond's
offer. Mr. Redmond cannot allow a
movement mainly composed of his sup
porters to be comanded by a self-qualified
body, of which the most active
members are opponents of his. Once
the volunteer members can hold their
convention to check an executive, the
matter will settle itslf. Meantime
there may be friction which will be
obviated to a great extent by making
each county govern its own Volun
teers.

CANADIAN DESPERADO WHO
KILLED DEPOSITORY'S MANA
GER NEARS END
Winnipeg, Manitoba, July 7. The
career of John Krafchenko, one of
the most notorious bandits who ever
terrorized this section of Canada,
ill come to an end on the gallows
here day after tomorrow, unless there
is an eleventh hour respite from the
the department of justice at Ottawa.
The crime for which Krafchenko Is
to pay the death penalty was the mur
der of H. M. Arnold, manager of the
Bank of Montreal branch at Plum
Coulee. The murder was committed
while the desperado was in the act
of robbing the bank.
Plum Coulee Is a town of several
hundred inhabitants, 65 miles south
west of ' Winnipeg. Shortly before
noon on December 3, 1913, a m-n, dis
guised with false whiskers nnd mus
tache, entered the bank, forced Arnold
to hand over $5,000 and started to
leave by a rear door. The manager
grappled . with him and the bandit
fought him off and then shot him
through the heart.
The robber ran up to an automobile
and forced the owners at the point of
a pistol to drive him 35 miles to the
town of Osborne. There he disappear
ed. A week later Krafchenko was ar
rested fn a house in this city, where
he had been posing as a college pro
fessor. An outfit of women's cloth
ing and two revolvers were found in
his room and a roll of bills from the
Plum Coulee bank was discovered un
der the fence outside..
A month after his arrest and before
bis case had come up for trial Kraf
chenko made a sensational escape
from the Winnipeg Jail. Armed with
an automatic revolver which had been
smuggled In to him by friends the
bandit covered the two guards placed
in front of his cell. While holding the
guards with their arms over their
heads, he backed to a window and
swung out on a rope which had also
been smuggled into nfs cell.
A passerby saw Krafchenko on the
street and ran to the other side of
the building to spread the alarm.
When the officers rushed out, the
bandit had disappeared. For a week
tie police searched in vain for the
desperado. At the end of that time
he was found concealed in the room
of a friend almost within a stone's
throw of the prison from which he
had made, his escape..
The official investigation of the es
cape led to the arrest and indictment
of several persons on a charge of con
spiracy to aid the bandit in gaining
his freedom. Among those concerned
were a member of Krafchenko's coun
sel and one of the Jail guards. Two
of those who were convicted on the
conspiracy charge recently met their
deaths in the falling of a scaffold on
which they were at work In the pri
son. - Early last April Krafchenko was
taken to Morden, where he was tried,
convicted and sentenced to death. A
short time ago Justice T. G. Mathers,
who presided over Krafchenko's trial
and imposed the sentence of death,
sent a recommendation to the depart
ment of justice at Ottawa that no le
niency be shown In the "bandit's case.

party of Illinois, which will meet here
tomorrow for a two-day session. The
