Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 20.-Daniel

Immediately. Fred Sims, Republican
candidate for the nomination of sec
rotary of state before the next state

Used to make UP certain sums alleged
to be due the state aggregating
$6,13041. The payment of this money
was the condition under which the
governor permitted Storms to remain
until April /. 1t Is understood that
this money is to be raised among GER

that the resignation of Storms will
avert the probability of a special ses-

that one cause is removed. Other
causes still exist, however, and the

PARLIAMENT OPENED.
King Edward Apparently Favors Mod
flied Form of Home Rule
for Ireland.

London, Feb. 20.-King Edward
opened the second parliament of his
reign Monday afternoon with the
customary ceremonial. The pointed
reference to Ireland contained in
King Edwards speech to the house of
parliament, coupled with the an
nouncement of the determination to
grant constitutional government to the
Transvaal, brought these two ques-
lions Immediately to the forefront in
the debate in the house of lords and
the house of commons. In the latter
body Joseph Chamberlain attacked
the government on all points and
especially on it's South African policy.
He threw down the gauntlet regard
ing home rule for Ireland.
The reference to Ireland in the
kings speech is received with mingled
feelings and some degree of doubt.
Some of the less radical Irish men,
bers do not hesitate to say that the
clause in the kings speech means a
modified form of home rule and init
mated that Mr.. Redmond would be
satisfied with such step, as it would
surely guarantee home rule in the fu-
ture.

JURY'S VERDICT
clears PAT GROVE
RESULT OF HIS TRIAL IN THE
FAMOUS CUDAHY KIDNAP-
ING CASE.
Failure to Identify Him AS Having
Received Ransom Money Brings
His Acquittal-Could Not Be Pro-
secuted for kidnapping Cudahy.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 1.-THE jury in
the trial of Pat Grove, charged with
the robbery of Edward A. Cudahy, the
Omaha packer, of $4,000 in connec-
ton with the kidnapping of the latter's
son five years ago, after Is hours de-
liberation, brought in verdict of not
guilty.
Court Indignant.
When the verdict of not guilty was
read great part of the crowd, which
had thronged the courtroom through
the nine days of the trial, arose in
body cheering An attempt was made
to press forward to where the defend
ant sat to congratulate him. The dem
onstration, however, was quelled by
Judge Sutton, who proclaimed: THE
court is amazed that an intelligent
looking body of men and women

dict, which sets at liberty a notorious
criminal. I request the bailiffs imme

Story of the Crime.
cember 10, 1900, and Lis release
upon the payment by his father of
1000 ransom, created a great sensa-
ton, and the search for the kidnapers
was stimulated at the time by the
offer of a reward OF $4,000 by Mr..
Cudahy. 1t was the belief of the au-
thorities that Grove and James Gala
han were the guilty parties but no
trace of them could be found until
about year ago, when Callahan was
arrested. He was identified by young
Cudahy as one of his captors, but re-
leased on trial, as it could not be
shown that he. received any of the
money, and there was at that time no
law making the kidnapping of person
over ten years of age crime. Last
October Grove was arrested in Butte,
Mont, and was put on trial February
Z. There was no evidence to positive
ly identify Grove as one of the kid
napers Grove was recently indicted
in Council Bluffs with others on a
charge of holding up a street car. He
will be placed on trial at once.
Protest Against the Verdict.
Omaha, Neb.. Feb. 20.-More than
400 of the most prominent women in
Omaha, at a meeting Monday after

against the verdict in the case of Pat
Grove, who was last week acquitted
of the charge of robbing e. A. Cud
ahy of $4,000 through the kidnapping
of the lattar's son five years ago. This
is said to be the preliminary to gen.
eral mass meeting of citizens to take
similar action.
