their hands after killing the little

was committed.
The authorities were convinced that
the murderers were personally known
to both the Olney brothers and Mrs.
Ingerlick. This theory was based on
the supposition that the murderers re-
turned to the Olney house to slay
Mrs. 1ngerlick and her daughter, be-

of the Olneys was discovered 1t was

SOCIETY FORMED IN WASHINGTON TO
TEACH PEOPLE INTERNATIONAL LAW
Idea is That of Developing
Public Interest in Affairs
Of Importance.

Associated Press to The Evening Time..
Washington, D. c., April 19.-That II
Is OF great. importance that the public
should be educated to correct un-
derstanding of those principles of in
tenatfonal law and practice which the
United States is called upon to observe
in its relations with other nations is
the belief of number of prominent
men who gathered in this city today
to complete the organization Of a So
ciety which will work to this end.
The promoters of the movement be-
Aeve that an understanding Of inter-
national law is more essential to the
people Of the United States than in
other countries because of the in
nuence public sentiment exercises up
on the administrative and diplomatic
policy of this government.
The formation of such society
was first proposed two years ago by
Prof. James B. Scott of Columbia
university, now solicitor of the de-
partment of state. The project was
later endorsed by the Lake Mohonk
arbitration conference. Preliminary
plans for the organization were drawn
up last December at dinner given
by Oscar s. Straus, now secretary of
Commerce and Labor. Temporary Or
gantzation was effected with Elihu
Root as president and with Chief Jus
tice Fuller, Andrew Carnegie, Secre-
tary Taft, Joseph H. Choate, Ex-Secrs-
tary Olney, Judge Morrow of California
and number of other men of national
prominence on the list of vice presi-
dents. 1t Is now purposed to effect
permanent organization and to take
up the actual work in view.
The purpose of the society is three
fold:
1. To develop public interest in
the study Of international law and
to promote the study of International
relations on the basis of law and
justice. because, as Secretary Root re-
Gently pointed out, the great body Of
the people of the United States and
other self-governing nations are gain
Ing more and more control over legis-
lat1on, administration and diplomacy,
and thus render it more and more i'm
perative that they should have just
conception OF international rights and
duties.
II. To publish a journal, as the
organ Of the society, by means of
which pending questions of interna-
tional importance may be brought to
the personal notice Of the people and
the public may be kept informed as
to the progress Of events and receive
correct information concerning d.
plomatic controversies.
III. The third purpose of the So
ciety will be to hold annual meetings
in order to bring together people from
all parts of the country who are in
terested in the study and development
Of International law. to exchange
ideas, to stimulate each other and pro-

watched by her bedside awaiting her
return to unconsciousness. But when
she finally recovered from her wounds
her mind was blank concerning the
tragedy and, in fact. she never fully
recovered her reason. Baffled along
this line the authorities set to work In
other directions to run down the mur-
derers. Certain relatives of the mur-
dered persons were suspected but
they easily proved alibis,
1t was a considerable time after
the crime before suspicion became
fastened upon Rogers. Suspicion
finally centered upon him. 1t is said,
through the jealousy of his wife. He
is said to have been friendly with
Mrs. Ingerlick. 1t is thought that he
learned from her that the Olney
brothers had in their possession $1,000
cash and some valuables. These were
taken by the murderer. After the
murders Rogers disappeared from
MiddletOwn. The Pinkertons search
ed in vain for some trace of him until
the latter part Of January last he
wrote letter which gave a clue to
his whereabouts in California.

the conflagration is still raging and
a heavy wind is blowing. 1t is beyond
anything possible to check the flames
and assist the sufferers. No estimate
has yet been made OF the amount of
damage done and no details of the fire
are obtainable, owing to communica-

Iloilo is the capital of the island of

Brilliant Assemblage at Clar-

Metropolis Tonight.

Annotated Press Cable to The Evenins
London, April 1s.-what will prob
ably be the most brilliant assemblage
held in London. for some time will
take place at Claridge's hotel this
evening, when the Pilgrims will give
a banquet in honor of the distinguish
ed delegates to the colonial confer
ence. Lord Roberts will preside at
the dinner, and the guests will include,
in addition to; the colonial prime min
listers, fourteen members of the pres
ent government and sixteen members
of the late government. as we'll as
many of the best known people of
England in naval, military, literary
and art circles. The two houses will
be represented by the lord chancellor
and speaker. Brief addresses will be
made by General Botha of the Trans
vaal. Sir Wilfrid Laurier of Canada,
Hon. A. Deakin of Australia, Sir R.
Bond of Newfoundland and other COL
onial premiers. The dinner will be
served at forty round tables, with
distinguished guests at each table.
The first week of the colonial con-
ference has been occupied largely by
receptions and social affairs. although
a few business sessions have been
held. The Canadian and Australian
premiers, the most important figures
at the three preceding conferences,
have been eclipsed in popular inter-
est by General Louis Botha. prime
minister of the reconstructed Trans
vaal, and DR.. L. 8. Jemeson. the Trans
vaal raider, now premier of Cape
Colony.
According to Lord Elgln, colonial
secretary, the duration Of the confer
ence will likely not extend beyond
May Is. as DR.. Jameson and other
delegates have announced that they
must return Immediately after that
date. Owing to the number and i'm
portance of the subjects to be consid-
cred, 1t is likely that the visitors will
begin their labors in earnest next
week.
In the preliminary discussions. the
subject of preferential trade has been
given the most attention. Premiers
Laurier of Canada and Deakin OF
Australia have openly declared that
while they are in favor Of granting
trade advantages to the mother coun-
trw.they consider the present arrange
ment unfair, as affording the colon
ies no return for their allegiance.
This opinion is shared by Premier
Jameson of Cape Colony. who has In
troduced resolution bearing on the
subject. as follows:
"This conference, while adhering
to the principle of preferential treat
ment for products and manufactures
Of the United Kingdom. desires to i'm

the opinion that the continuance of
such preferential treatment to Brit
ish producers and manufacturers is
largely dependent on the granting OF

President Van Hise said today that
there was absolutely no suspicion of

mitted that there has been failure

ments to their proper accounts. When
the report was circulated at the capi-
tol, President Van Hise Immediately
came to the state house in person. He
explained as best he could the de-
tails of the alleged 100000 discrep-
ancy.
The matter probably will be investi-
