"MEANT NO GOOD"

TRAILED BY G-MEN

ORDERS BY SCOTLAND YARD OFFICER

(Received June 7, 11.40 a.m.)

STRATFORD (Ont.), June 6,

The special correspondent of the Australian Associated Press on the Royal train gathers that Scan Russell was >arrested at the request of Chief Constable Albert Canning, of Scotland Yard, who is aboard the Royal train.

Mr. Canning has kept track of Russell's movements ever since he arrived in America and began delivering inflammatory speeches, in. one of which he said: "I ordered recent bombings in England and I will keep on until the British troops leave Ireland and my men are released from gaol." Later he said: "A state of war exists Between England and Ireland, and it will continue until the British troops are withdrawn."

Mr. Canning informed the Australian Associated Press representative that he had G-men trailing Russell for the past three weeks. "His arrival at Detrpit, just across the river from Windsor, on the eve of the Royal visit," he said, "satisfied me that he meant no good, and I requested the Detroit police to detain him." Asked if he had any apprehension about the Royal visit to the United States, Mr. Canning replied: "Not somuch now."
