Today -100: February 16, 1922: Of kidnappings, unlawful associations, censorship, fucking Fiume again, I am so tired of fucking Fiume, assassination attempts, and secret negroes


Michael Collins “obtains” the release of 26 of the men kidnapped by the IRA a week ago. It’s unclear how many remain. British Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill tells Parliament that there will be a joint commission to study the border conflicts, and yes the British government, masters of messaging that they are, assigned responsibility for Ireland to the colonial secretary.

Chittaranjan “C.R.” Das, president-elect of the Indian National Congress, is sentenced to 6 months’ imprisonment for being manager of an unlawful association. 

NY state motion picture theater owners agree to ban movies with immoral stars.

Italian Fascists are arming for yet another attempt to capture Fiume. They throw a bomb at the president of Fiume’s palace, but it doesn’t go off. The bomb-throwers are arrested, but Fascists storm the prison and free them.

There was an assassination attempt last week on Hungarian dictator/”regent” Adm. Miklós Horthy, with shots fired into a castle in which he was staying after a hunt. The incident was covered up.

Ingrid Bornn, wife of José Bornn, files for annulment of their marriages because all this time (14 years of marriage) he’s secretly been a negro. He denies it, although he admits to not being white (because his mother was Spanish, I guess?).
