A day after Éamon de Valera held a large rally in Dublin against the Anglo-Irish Treaty, Michael Collins accuses republicans of planning a coup. This in a cable to the US trying to head off Americans raising funds for the republicans.
The British have stopped the withdrawal of troops from Ireland, but will probably just reinforce Northern Ireland and not occupy the Free State.
Russia will strip Christian, Jewish, and Muslim religious bodies of their treasures to pay for famine relief.
The Klan, presumably, have been active in Texarkana, Texas, flogging 5 white men and lynching a black man.
And in Fort Worth, 3 men are arrested for participating in a lynch mob a couple of months ago. 2 of them are cops in Niles City.
The film censors of Lynn, Massachusetts “request” that movies featuring any actress mentioned in the investigation of William Desmond Taylor’s murder not be shown, starting with one with Mary Miles Minter, who did nothing more than be friends with someone who was murdered. And they’ve stopped a Mabel Normand movie after one showing.
The police investigating that murder have moved on from the theory that Taylor was killed by a blackmailer to something about a narcotics ring. Also there’s a milkman who claims that Taylor’s valet once said something about Taylor being found dead some morning. In other words, they got nuthin.
Headline of the Day -100:
Commissioner of the London Metropolitan Police Sir William Horwood says there’s no need for women police and they’re “too costly to maintain as a luxury,” so he’ll be abolishing women’s patrols.
