cHIcAGo. June 1.-The actions Of tks
police oiiicials yesterday betokened
something out OF the common to be on
hand for Consideration. Superintendent
Hubbard did not come TO his office til
late in the morning He was at the
North side at an early hour, and thence
he went 10 the Office of Luther y. Latin
Mills. who is engaged by Cronin's Friends
to prosecute the case. Dir. Mills was not
al has Office and the chief concluded hs
would wait for him. He refused to talk
about the CroDin case. He admitted
that he had heard that man named
Willisms or Mack had been ARE sted. but
would say nothing more. II Is said the
man arrested ON the West Side by ths
Iolice Thursday is named McWiliiams.
The fellow IS said To know something
about the occupants of the Carlson cot
tage which will throw light on the muir
der Of Dr. Cronin. The police DO mol
think he IS the man who drove the
doctor 10 the assassination den. He Is
locked up az the Central station.
CHICAGO. June CONTRARY to the
general expectation, the grand jugy oc-
eupied Itself with routine business, in
stead OF taking up another branch of the
Cronin case. THIS was due to the fact
that States Attorney Longenecker has
not yet made up his mind whether OF
not il is desirable to complicate the in
veStigation by going into the ALLEGED
perversion of the physical force fund.
LAWYER W. J. fiynes, with whom it Il
said the murdered man left valuable
papers giving the full details of what he
had learned regarding the conspiracy
against his life. had long conferences
with Chief Hubbard, but no information
VS. vouchsafed by either man regarding
its nature. Before leaving the city hall,

now more convinced than ever that the
conspiracy was the work of individuals
and not Of the Clan-Na-Gael rs a body.

No Mere Arrests booked.
II was developed last night that at ths

the entire situation was gone over and
that the chief expressed the emphatic
( opinion that there was no evidence OF
hand that would warrant any additional
arrests. especially of the suspects OF
which the batteries Of Or. Crcnin'
friends have been directed The city de
tectives. however. are still following uI

Local members Of the Irish Land league
express considerable satisfaction witt
the action Of the Philadelphia commit
TIE in refusing to postpone the July con
vention as suggested by President Fitz
gerald They say that the order Is moi
identified IN any way with the recent
tragedy except that its members abhol
the crime and deplore the untimely en5
of the victim, and that the postpone
ment of the convention. by conveying T;
different impression. might have worked
great harm to tie cause Of Ireland.
