vigor. AS soon as comparative quiet
was restored President Lyman, Of the
Irish National Alliance, bade Ivory well
come back to New York. He said the
entire powerful machinery Of the Eng

play to convict Ivory. Mr.. Lyman CONF
plimented Mr.. Mcintyre on the part he

When Mr.. Lyman had concluded
there Were loud cries for Ivory. Ivory
bowed his acknowledgements. He was
about to speak when Charles O'Connor
Mclaughlin, secretary Of the Irish Ma
tional Alliance, delivered his address OF
welcome to him, Mr.. Mcintyre and the
three witnesses. Ivory then made a
brief reply to the address. In a voice
broken with emotion he thanked those
present for the magnificent Ieception
they had given him and assured them
I he would never forget it. He said he
did not intend to say much as his heart
was too full.
There was q big crowd at the Bat
terry when the Laura NJ Starin was
tied up there. The crowd went wild as
Ivory walked down the gangplank, ac-
companied by Mr. Mcintyre. Ivory
was surrounded by an enthusiastic
throng. He shook hands with every
one, and he and his party entered cabs
and were driven to the office Of the
Irish National Alliance in the Potter
building
The gathering there was purely In
formal. A number Of friends and mem-s
bers of the alliance soon gathered
about, but they saw very little Of Ivory,
as he was clcseted with Mr. Lyman.

one or two others. 1T was said that the
purpose of the conference was to de-
eide regarding the urging Of a claim
for unjust imprisonment against Great
Britain. The party remained in confer
ence for some time. Later it was given
out that it had been decided to look up
the International law bearing upon w
ory's case. If 1t is found that under
the law there are good grounds for
claiming indemnity from Great Britain
the claim will be pressed. Ivory denies
that he was paid any money by the
English government in settlement OF all
claims TOR MS arrest ana the COnpucd-
tions growing out of it.
Mr.. Mcintyre said that Ivory and he
had been followed from the other side
by eight men. These men followed
them from London through Wales to
Holyhead, across the Irish sea to
Kingstown, thence to Dublin, from
there to Cork and finally to Queens
town. Two detectives took passage
with them on the Majestic to this coun-
try. While on the other side the detec.
tives always arranged to have one or
more of the number in the same COM
partment of the train with Ivory and
Mcintyre.
They were persistent in their a.,
tempts to lead Ivory into another con-
versation. All their efforts were with
out result. One of the detectives
who had taken passage on the Majes-
tic attempted to board the Starin with
Ivory and Mcintyre. but the health Of
ficer refused to allow the man to board
the boat Ivory stated that he took the
name of Bell because he had bought
from a customer named Bell an excur-
sion ticket to Europe, which had been
| issued in Bells name.
