Asserted in House of Lords
That Government Turned
Blind Eye to Terrorism.
CONDITION OF THE IRISH.
MARQUIS OF LONDONDERRY
SAYS THEY ARE WORSE NOW
THAN THE DARK DAYS OF THE
EARLY Dos.
E LONDONDERRY

London. Feb. 1.-Heated charges of
cowardice in turning blind eye to the
reign of terrorism" in Ireland in or
der to keep the nationalists in good
temper and assure a continuance OF
their support in the commons were
launched against the government in
the house of lords today.
The marquis Of Londonderry, who
was viceroy of Ireland in 1SS6-'S9, led
in the attack. and SO infectious were
his sentiments that even Lord Lang
ford, who has been a representative
peer of Ireland since 1881, broke his
silence of twenty-four years and devot-
ed his maiden speech to recital of his
personal experience with cattle driv-
ing outside his own gates.
Worse Than in the Early '8os.
The Marquis of Londonderry declar-
ed that the present state of Ireland
is worse than in the dark days of the
early sos, when murder and outrage
were rampant. and he attributed the
conditions entirely to the cOwardice
of the government. He said it was
reported that the constabulary had
been ordered not to come into actual
contact with the lawbreakers.
The judges. he said. were paralyzed
in the sections subject to coercion by
the Irish league. and arial by jury was
farce-Out of 231 persons tried only
eight being convicted. Even the gov
ernment's own Irish attorney general
had declared that if the present con
ditions continued anarchy would re
suit.
Lord Beauchamp, replying in behal
of the government. complained of the
exaggerated pessimism of the uniOnis
peers and resented Lord LansdOwne'E
comparison yesterday between IRELAND
and Macedonia. He admitted that cat
tie driving had increased during The
last year, but said that this was tn,
sole sign of agrarian conditions be
coming worse.

ANOTHER MEETING HELD
TO FORM NEW LEAGUE.
At This Rump Session in Mar
ion 1t Was Agreed That
Runyan Should Be Awarded
The Presidency.

The meeting Of the Indiana-Ohio
league at Van Vert, O.. Monday, prom
Uses to be a most Interesting event. AT
this meeting the two warning factions,
one headed by Manager Frank Runyan
of Button. and the other by Manager
Clarence Jessup, of Richmond, will
fight it out over the question of the
league presidency and the question OF
the organization of the league.
On Friday. Runyan, of Button.
Lannigan of KokomO and Hall of Ma
rion. met in the latter city and decided
10 oppose the organization of the
league as decided on at a meeting held
in Richmond two weeks ago. At this
meeting franchises were awarded to
the following cities: Richmond, Van
Vert. Muncie, Marion, Anderson, Pi-
qua, Bluffton and KOkOmO. At the
Marion meeting it was proposed TO
drop Muncie and Piqua and substitute
Huntington and Decatur. Runyan and
his associates were of the opinion that
Richmond was 'Out of the way but
too good ball town to be eliminated.
Manager Jessup was not invited to
attend the Marion meeting. Van Vert
refused to send Il representative while
Manager O'Neil of Anderson failed to
put in an appearance. TO Hall and
Lannigan, Frank Runyan annOuced
that he wanted to be elected president
of the league and they promised to sup
port his candidacy at the Van Vert
meeting.
At this meeting. Crosse of Muncie,
O'Neii of Anderson. Gamble of Van
vert and Prince of Piqua, will lineup
back of Jessup They will oppose
Runyan's plan of being made dictator
of the 10. league for the reason that
he is a manager of one of the clubs
and that it is desirable to have this
office filled by someone who is not
directly interested with any club in the
league At the Richmond meeting
Runyan was defeated for president for
this reason alone. Manager Jessup
has always worked for the best inter
ests of the league and he is surprised
at the bitterness of the attacks made
upon himself and this city. by Runyan.

Sylvester A. Long, Prominent
Lecturer, Will Deliver the
Address and Big Crowd Is
Expected to Hear Him.
MEETINGS MAY BE HELD
DURING THE WINTER.
Future Event Will Largely De-
pend Upon the Interest
Manifested Today Public
Invited to Attend.

With a view to arOuSing increased
interest in the work of the Y. NJ. c. A.
the directors of this organization
have arranged for a number of popular
meetings through the remainder of the
winter, the first of which is to be held
at 3 O'Clock this afternoon at the eGn-
nett theater. The speaker on this Oc-
aston will be Sylvester A. Long, who
enjoys a very wide reputation as a lee
turer. No admission will be charged
to this lectre and the public is urged
to attend and hear the message that
Mr.. Long has to deliver. 1t is hoped
that the seating capacity will be ex-
hausted. Provided this plan of meet
ing proves popular, it is probable occa-
sions of this character will be contin-
ued Indefinitely and various other
good speakers will be brough to the
city.
Mr.. Long. who will speak this after
noon, has lectures on a variety of sub
jects. His topic this afternoon has
not been announced. One of his
strongest is The Man of Destiny. 1t
Bonaparte 1t is said to be unpreju-
diced, impartial and accurate, preserv-
ing all the fascination without the bur
den of historical detail "Lightning
and Toothpicks'' is the subject of a
humorous lecture. Drop 1t" is a
striking presentation of some every
day mistakes. The subject matter de-
ponds much upon the occasion. It
is popular and OF special interest to
the young people. Hungry People"
is an theological study of desire. 1t
is new and thought by some to be Mr..
Longs masterpiece Mr.. Long usual
ly selects his Sunday addresses from
the subjects drop It," The Master
Spoke" and why Live?' Though
not a preacher, his Sunday addresses
have become famous.
Mr.. Longs success as a lecturer has
been most remarkable. He began lee
turing while engaged as a school teach
er and since 1904 has devoted his en-
tire time to it. He has appeared with
uniform success in nearly every state
in the union. 1t is with pleasure the
committee announces his appearance
in this city, as the first speaker. No
man bears a higher recommendation
by the associations Of larger cities. It
is his custom to deliver Y. NJ. G. A.
addresses on Sunday. although direct
ing his efforts to the entertainment
platform on other dates.

NOW UNDER BAN
Labor Unions of Muncie Take
Vigorous Action Against
Business Men.
RODE ON OUTLAWED CARS.

Muncie, Ind, Feb. 1.-Though the
immediate effect of the action of the
Muncie Merchants association in rid
ing on the bOycotted city street cars
yesterday was to bolster up the flag
ging courage of many who have been
afraid to ride on the street cars since
the strike began, there was no general
movement to use the street cars last
night, even though driving rain was
falling and the streets were wet and
sloppy. But the merchants say they
did not expect to break the boycott in
a day. They think, however. they have
driven the entering wedge and are con-
fident they have substantial support
from the public.
Action of Labor Unions.
Organized labor. however, is more
bitter than ever. The labor unions ac-
cuse the business men of aIlying them
selves with the Union Traction com
pany and many union men employ
harsh terms in characterizing the
merchants. The various meetings that
held regular meetings last night passed
resolutions condemnatory of the Mer-
chants association and the CONNER
cial club and pledged themselves to
hold out indefinitely against the trac-
ton company.

SAVED FROM THE MOOSE.
Too Much Confusion in Witnesses
Gives Murderer but 20 Years.

In the Criminal court, at West
Chester, Pa, Angela D'Ermenegildo,
the young Philadelphian, who was
charged with the shooting to death of
Passuale deFelico and his son, Ales-
saIdrc, On the streets Of that bor-
ough, one Sunday evening a few
weeks ago. entered plea Of murder
in the second degree. The plea was
accepted in view of conflicting testi-
mony as to the facts Of the crime.
The testimony was to the effect
that Beneminio DeGildo, who COM
mited suicide and was an uncle OF the
prisoner, had fired several shot at
Alessandro, the young shoemaker,
and then, when pursued by the mob,
believing that he had killed Alessan-
dro, fired bullet into mis- own brain,
amid the shrubbery on the Veit lawn.
Judge Butler sentenced D'Ermene-
gildo to serve 20 years in the Eastern
penitentiary, only one Charge being
pressed by the commonwealth,
though it was claimed that the ccl-
yicted man had killed the two deFe-
licos, and had wounded Patric.- =
ply in the leg and Mike Saraceni on
the elbow.

DEATH ENDS POVERTY.
Wife's Letters Hint That She Might
Use Poison Also.

That desperation at his inability
to obtain work drove him to take
some subtle poison is the opinion
of the New York city coroner, after
an examination of the body of G. H.
Brooks, who is thought to have gone
to the metropolis from Portland,
Me. in the dead mans pockets there
were found several letters, apparent
ly written by his wife. in which the
writer threatened to kill herself and
their children IF your next letter
doesn't ring something in the way

Of the envelope of the letter, which
was addressed to &c. H. Brooks,
169 Duan street, care of W. l..
Ramaga, with Armour & Co., was
written:
'I don't feel as bad as did when
wrote this letter. Read between
the lines. l will write a better one
Sunday. Cheer up-Nou will soon be
dead"
w. L. Ramage, in whose care the
letters were addressed, declares that
he knew very little. Of Brooks. He
said that he beneved that at one
time Brooks had been a practlclng,
physician, but had later become
travelling salesman. 1t is the theory
of the coroner that the man, through
his knowledge of drugs, procured
and took some rare poison. An au-
topsy will be performed to deter
mine positively the cause OF his
death.

Child Rescued From High Wire.

Little Sophia NlcTague, Of South

of a three-story building, last week,
when she climbed onto the coping and
fell off. Ten feet below her was a
mass of telephone wires. On these
she struck, grabbed them in her little
hands and held on tightly, yelling
as she dangled 80 feet above the
street. The child's brother leaned
far out of a window just by the wires
grabbed the little ones clothing and
dragged her into the window un-
