FOR LEAGUE MEETING
Emmett Branch ArrRnges for Coming
of DevIin and Redmond
to Omaha.

The general committee OF the Emmett
branch Of the Irish National league met
last night and received reports from the
committees appointed to arrange for the
meeting to be held April 9, at which time
William Redmond and Joseph Devlin will
speak upon the objects Of the Irish party in
the British Parliament and the policy CT
the Irish National league.
1t was decided that admission to the
theater where the meeting will be held
shall be by ticket, which may be secured
free from certain stores in the city which
will be designated later. These tickets will
also be placed in one or two places in
South Omaha and Council Bluffs, where
they can be secured. Tickets thus secured
will reserve seats at the theater until S:3O
on the night of the meeting, when, IL the
seats are not occupied they will be thrown
open to the general public. This course
was adopted. as the seating capacity Of
the hall is limited and it was the desire Of
the committee to make those who attend
as comfortable as possible and to avoid
crowding the hall.
Invitations have been sent through the
local newspapers to sympathizers with the
movement In Iowa and Nebraska and seats
will be reserved for all who MAJ come from
other towns. These seats can be secured by
the visitors before 8 o'clock on the night
Of the meeting by personal application to
members of the general committee,
1t was decided to ask a number OF promi-
nent men to act as vice presidents OF the
meeting and invitations will be issued to
them in a day or two. Vice presidents will
be chosen not only from Omaha, but from
other towns in the state.
One matter which is causing the COM
nittee some concern is the fact that the
students OF Creighton college have made
arrangements for amateur ~theatricals at
the university hall on the night OF April
8, the night Of the meeting. Many persons
are interested in both OF these affairs and
an attempt will be made to have the theat-
ricals postponed, as it will be impossible
to change the date of the league meeting,
as the theater can be secured for no other
time.
1t was decided that parties desiring to
make arrangements for boxes at the meet
ing should consult ]. A. Conner, in the
Board Of Trade building, the chairman of
the hall committee, h has charge Of that
part Of the work.
The finance committee reported that II
had received pledges satisfactory for the
length Of time that 1t had been at work and
that there would be no difficulty in securing
the funds necessary to defray the expenses.
The meeting adjourned to meet Saturday
night, at which time all preliminary work
will be completed

BINGHAMPTON. N. Y, April William
Carter. a halfbreed Indian, who is under
arrest for the attempted murder OF Charles
Carman at Port Crane, made a con-
fession under oath today, in which he ad-
mits the crime and alleges that he shot
Carman at the instigation Of DR.. G. ].
Tiffany, who he says, paid him to kill Car
man. In an afhdavit Carter says DR.. Tiff
fanny promised him $25 to kill Carman, with
more twenty-five when the murder was
committed. He says Tiffany gave him
money to buy a revolver.
Continuing, Carter says:
DIR. Tiffany told me Just how to shoot
Carman. He showed me just the spot on
the side of the head to shoot to be GER
tain to kill him. Last Wednesday night
l went TO DR.. Tiffany's barn and stayed
there until S:S, when l went to the back

PROBES RAIL RATES DEEPER
Interstate Commerce Commission Goes to
Root Of Discrimination.
DETERMINED TO ENFORCE THE LAW
oHe Of Main objects in Hearing is to
Compel Railroads to Pub
Iish Their Freight
Tariffs.

CHICAGO. April Lit is the purpose Of
the Interstate Commerce commission to en-
ploy every means within it's power to secure
an absolute observance of the provisions
OF the interstate commerce act. The COM
mittee is not going to cease operations be-
cause injunctlons suits have been brought
to this end.
This announcement was made by Commits
sioner Charles Prouty, relative to the in
vestigation to begin here tomorrow. Asked
what the commission expected to discover
and what would likely be the outcome,
provided evidence OF late infections Of the
law developed, Mr.. Prouty, said;
We must FIRST ascertain what has been
advisable under the circumstances as
they may develope. The fact that the De-
partment of Justice Is proceeding by an
ing the initiative in instituting criminal
proceedings should the facts disclosed by
the evidence warrant such action. ,
Packing House Determinations.
Upon former Investigations railroad off,
Gals have told us that secret practices
have been abandoned and the law observed.
Despite this fact, one railroad had on file
tariff of AZ cents on packing house products
from the Missouri river to the seaboard
and 1t was not met openly by any other
was the other lines managed TO get busi-
ness upon a tariff OF IS cents when the road
In question was carrying 1t for AZ cents.
Commissioner Prouty said another pur-
pose Of the hearing was to take steps to
compel the railroads to publish their ex-
port rates. This is a radical departure,
although some OF the roads in times past
have filed export rates on grain and grain
products. In general, however, railroad
officials and attorneys claim that the law
cannot compel them TO publish export tar
Sfs and a battle is to be made on this
point.
Keep Domestic Rates Up.
The reason for the fight is that the rail-
roads have been making higher domestic
rates upon packing house products and
grain and then cutting the rate by taking
care Of everything as export shipments.
ASKED IL the commission purposed trying
to probe any of the alleged pools. the
commissioner said that so far as he knew
there were no pools.
Concurrent with the commissions inyesti-

The work Of removing the fallen slate
covering the victims is being conducted
rapidly.
Most of the families OF the dead miners
are in destitute condition and their needs
are being supplied by the Dayton Coal and
Iron company temporarily.
The explosion, which was one OF the
worst that has occurred in the Dayton
mines. came close upon the announcement
after an inspection, that the mine was per-
fectly safe. The Nelson shaft, however,
has been the most dangerous Of the mines
at Dayton, on account Of the presence OF
mine gas ever since the explosion OF De-
.cember 20, 1895, when twenty eight men
were killed. Since then the miners have
been supplied with safety lamps and fire
bosses have been employed to fire the
shots after the miners had finished their
days work.
The explosion, which occurred at 4:45 p
m. yesterday, is believed to have been
caused by the unintentional firing of a shot.
