Conspiracy
to Murder
at Denver

DENVER, Col. March "a start
ling story was published here this af-
ternoon pointing to a conspiracy to
murder Dewitt c. Webber, former pres
ident of the fire and police board here.
The matte rgrew out of family trou-
bles.
Mr. Wanamaker, father-in-law of
Webber. Matched the alleged plot with
a couple of notorious characters to kill
Webber while on his way to his rooms
in the Jacobson block.
The plot was tipped off to Mr.. Web
ber, who engaged detectives. They Sc
creted themselves in a room adjoining
the conspirators and heard the entire
story discussed.
The arrests were made this after
noon.
Many think that Wanamaker is
slightly demented ard nothing serious
would have grown out OF the affair
had it been allowed to go on.

THE SPARKS FLEW
And the Government Main-
tanned its Position Until
the Storm Clouds
Blew Over.

LONDON, March 6-IntenSe excite
ment prevails here today. following the
turbulent scenes occurring in the house
of commons last midnight.
The noon session today was one of
suppressed excitement. The house of
parliament was surrounded by strong
force of police, and the bowling mob
clined to fight.
The cause of the trouble was the
eviction of twelve Irish members at
the close of an exciting session at two
o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Balfour had applied closure on
the education estimates. This prevent
ed an opportunity to discuss the Irish
lapportionments.
Twelve members, nationaliStS, shout
| ed Gag" and made several insulting
remarks to the speaker. They were
ordered from the room. but refused to
leave. The police were summoned and
they were thrown out.
This did not end the troubles. and
wild scenes of commotion prevailed.
Adjournment was effected this morn
ing amidst scenes of i~r'rient riot.
Today's session promises TO be equal
ly stormy, although the government is
firm and Balfour will maintain his po-
sition.
In the house of commons this morn
ing John Redmond rose to a question
of privilege, arising from the painful
scenes of last night. He claimed that
the members had been suspended with
out proper steps being taken, and the
removal accompanied by undue vio-
lence.
The speaker said he would be glad
, to rectify any error. if wrongful sus-
pension had taken place.
This willingness on the part of the
government to treat the matter gem
erously calmed the protestants. and the
session was carried on without farther
friction.
The matter is dropped for The pres
| ent.
