City Councils Take Preliminary Steps
 Against Corporation.

Pittsburg, May 21.-The first definite action for the annulment of the char ter of the Philadelphia company of this city, subsidiary concern of the United Railways Investment company of San Francisco, was taken tonight when both branches of the city council unan- imously passed a resolution authoriz- ing Mayor Guthrie to have Governor Stuart instruct the attorney general of Pennsylvania to enter quo warranto proceedings against the company which controls the public utilities of Pitts burg.
 The action has been contemplated for some time but was accelerated by the company recently advancing natural gas from 25 cents to 30 cents per 1000 cubic feet.
 At the same time bills aggregating over $600,OO0 have been presented the company by the city of Pittsburg for street cleaning An agitation for the abolishment of 10 cent fares on the streets cars and betterment of trans portation facilities has also been start ed.
 The crusade against the company in Alleghany, across the Alleghany river from Pittsburg, has also assumed larger proportions.

JEROME AND BINGHAM.
Confer As To Police Connection With
 Gould Affair.

New York, May 21.-Intimations that certain police officials had improperly interested themselves in the domestic affairs of Howard Gould and his wife. formerly Katherine Clemmons, an actress, resulted in conference to- day between District Attorney Jerome and Police Commissioner Bingham. Since Mrs. Gould recently indicated her intention of bringing suit for separa- tion, it has been consistently declared that the plaintiff charged among other things, conspiracy against her in which salared officers of the police force were involved.
 Commissioner Bingham has given much time during the past few days to an investigation along this line.
 At the conclusion of the conference MT. Jerome said that the action of the police in the Could case had been dis cussed.
 He concluded: "The only thing I can say to you is that there Is a vast diff ference between a police force which lends itself to collect evidence to pre- vent blackmail and police force which collects evidence to be used to collect blackmail Of course if MT. Bingham desires to talk that is for him to do"
 Commissioner Bingham refused to discuss the case MT. Jerome and De- lancey Nicoll, counsel for Mir Gould, also had long talk during the after noon Whether their conversation had to do with Mrs. Gould's suit neither would say.

IRISH REJECT HOME BILL NO LIMITED COUNIL Country Refuses Present Propositions of Liberal
 Government.

Dublin, May 21.-The largest, most representative and most harmonious convention which ever assembled in Ireland to-day repudiated the plan for limited Irish council, which was all the liberal government had to offer in fullhlltnent of Its campaign promises, This action killed the hpoe of any home rule legislation by the present parlia- itlent, created d serious split iii the governments forces and may have far reaching power.
 The temper of the convention was plain from the beginning. No one had a word to offer in behalf of the bill. Home rule or nothing was the unani- nous sentiment and the resolution re- jecting the measure, proposed by John E Redmond, commanded every vote.
 The Irish parliamentarians had been deluged with resolutions from town councils and all sorts of official and unofficial bodies since their arrival in Dublin, all denouncing the bill. The country spoke in an unmistakably voice and the Irish members of parliament cheerfully acquiesced to it's will.
 Three thousand delegates came here to attend the convention and soon after the doors of the mansion house were opened it was impossible to get into the building which was packed most uncomfortably The gathering was quieter than most Irish political meet ings. It lacked the spirit of the old home rule gatherings, when Davitt, Dillon, Healy and other frey orators had the center of the stage. The speeches were temperate and there was little denunciation of the government. Except for the outbreak of a priest, who attempted to make the bill a church issue and was rebuked, every thing went smoothly The American delegates were all greeted enthusiast1- cally. The keynote of the orations and of several resolutions introduced was that the bill was an insult to Ireland.
 Croker was cheered at the evening session of the convention when the chairman announced that he had con- tributed $500 to the Irish parliamentary fund
 Subsequently, resolutions were adopt ed calling upon the government to ful- fill it's pledge s of legislation for the relief of evicted tenants as well as for university and primary education.
 Mir Redmond had requested Dennis O'Sullivan, of San Francisco, to sing ''God Save Ireland" and before the ad- journment MT OlSullivan mounted the platform and rendered the song. The closing scene of the convention was enthusiastic. All the delegates, as well as the ladies who crowded the galleries, were on their feet singing the chorus with MT. O'Sulliyan.

MOTHER FORBIDS MARRIAGE SON MENTALLY UNFIT Mrs. Jennie Weeks Prevents Son of 31 From Getting
 License.

Maternal interest forestalled Cupid by about half an hour in the office of registrar of vital statistics, James J. Carr early yesterday afternoon and when William H. Weeks, accompanied by his intended bride, a Jewess by the name of Miss simons, her brother and another young woman, arrived in the office of the registrar he found that his mother, Mrs. Jennie IT. Weeks of 104 Luke place, had already been there and forbidden the issuance of marriage license. M
 The case is a unique one in the ex- perience of the registrars office. Walk CT is S1 years of age. and so ten years above the age of majority. Mrs. Weeks hastened down to prevent the union and surprised Registrar Carr when she demanded that the license be refused as he had not yet had a request for such license The mother declared that her son was mentally incapable of marrying and insisted that the license be refused on that ground.
 When Weeks arrived a little later his mother had gone but he was told that the license could not be issued as his mother had objected to it. When he asked the reason MT. Carr's clerk, MT. Buckley asked him if he didn't know. he said, Ibid she say was crazy?" When informed that this was the ob- jection he did not insist further at the time but Miss Simons said, If he's crazy then I'm crazy too" The license was refused yesterday on the mothers objection.
 It is said that the real ground of objection may be matter of religion as Miss Simons is of Hebrew faith and the Weeks are Christian.

FORGERY AND
 PERJURY CHARGED Ten Indictments Against
 President Hegeman of Metropolitan.
CHANGES IN THE BOOKS
Made Just Prior to Annual Report to Make Show
 ing Good.

New York, May 21.-The special grand jury which has concerned itself with the conduct of the insurance bus mess in New York county has con- cluded its investigation of the Metro politan Life Insurance company, and to-day returned ten indictments against the company's president, John R. Hege- man. Seven of the indictments charge forgery in the third degree, while the other three allege perjury. All are based on what have come to be known as "year-end transactions" These consisted of certain changes in the companys books effected just prior to the submission of the annual report to the state insurance department, and which, it is alleged, were designed to place the company in more favorable light than the facts warranted.
 MT. Hegeman had been invited to appear before the grand jury during it's deliberations, but declined. He was not in court to-day when the indict- ments were returned, but will be at the district attorneys office tomorrow to arrange the matter of ball. To-mor- row the grand jury will begin an in- quiry into the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance society.
 In it's investigation of the Metropol- itan the grand jury went into the in- surance company's dealings with the Mercantile Trust company, the Central Trust company and Brown Brothers, and the transfer of loans by the insur- ance people to Vermilye & Co. Out of these transactions grew the seven in dictments for forgery in which it Is al- legged that the Metropolitan altered its books to cover up certain loans which | it had made. The perjury charges were founded upon statements made tc the insprance department concerning loans by the company. and which state ments 1t is charged were false

LETTER FROM
 THE PRESIDENT Roosevelt Comments Work of Prof. Fisher and
 Committee.
IS NATIONAL IN SCOPE
Bills Will be Presented at Next Session of
 Congress.

Irving Fisher, professor of political economy at Yale and president of the committee of one hundred, has receiv-, ed a letter from President Roosevelt commenting the work of that body in it's efforts to bring about increased fed eral regulations concerning public health. The letter follows
 "The White House,
 Washington, May 8, 19O7
 My Dear sir-I have examined the memorandum which you left with me in regard to the plans of the commit tee of one hundred. I congratulate the committee on the progress made in this direction since l talked with you a year ago. Our national health is phy- sically our greatest national asset. To prevent any possible deterioration of the American stock should be na- tional ambition We cannot too strong ly insist on the necessity of proper ideals for the family, for simple living and for those habits and tastes which produce vigor and make men capable of strenuous service to their country. The preservation of national vigor should be a matter of patriotism.
 For this reason, and because many of the problems of public health are interstate in their character, the aid of the federal government is necessary to supplement the work of state and local boards of health. Federal activ- lty in these matters has already devel- oped greatly, until it now includes quarantine, meat inspection, pure-food administration and federal investiga- tion of the conditions of child labor. It is my own hope that these impor- tant activities may be still further de- veloped
 While I could not in advance com init myself to the approval of any spe- ciflc form of legislation, can most cordially commend the endeavors of your committee to bring these matters prominently before the public.
 ''Very truA. yours,
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT''
 The committee of one hundred has appointed a subcommittee of legisla- tion to work out bills to be presented to congress at the next session along lines in harmony with President Roose- velt's wishes in the matter.
