bought control of majority OF the shares
of stock of the Tennessee concern and
later sold it to the steel company with the
sanction of President Roosevelt, no decision
has been reached to call other witnesses.
Some of the members of the subcom-
mittee, which has had charge of the inves-
tigation, have opposed calling as witness
Judge f. H. Gary and Henry c. Frick, the
two officials of the United States steel cor
poration, who called on President Roosevelt
in November, 1907, aud were given to un-
derstand that the government would not
interfere with the absorption of the prop
erty of the Tennessee Coal and Iron COM
pany. The senators have taken the posi-
ton that the committee already knows all
that could be learned from Messrs. Gary
and Frick.

NEGRO CLEARED OF MURDER
Joe Hopkins, OttumwR Suspect, Re-
leased and Jealousy or Rob-
berry Now the Theory.

OTTUMWA, Ia, Feb. 9.-With the re-
lease for lack of evidence of Joe Hopkins.
the negro government meat inspector.
charged with the murder of Clara Rosen, a
white girl. the police are now working
upon a new clue.
A button, evidently torn from an over
coat, was found in the abandoned cellar
where the unfortunate girl was thrown.
The chief of police asserts that they may
be able to connect this button with a sus-
pected person. Hopkins was released upon
the motion of the county attorney upon
the grounds of lack of evidence to hold
him. The release of the various colored
suspects dispels the theory of a vicious as
saiant and the motive now being worked
upon is plain robbery and jealousy upon
the part of some disappointed lover.

one from America containing the wecoming
intelligence that the sum of $4,000 was
now on its way and that another rtmit-
tance for the Irish cause would follow
speedily.
Opening the proceedings, Mr. Richmond

sion.
He said:
"Ireland's good name is at stake and
lreland's capacity for self-government will
be judged by the conduct of this assembly.
Therefore everyone who speaks should
weigh his words carefully
The convention then adopted the usual
home rule resolution and declared that this
question must be made a vital issue at
the next general election so that there can
be no misunderstanding on the other side
of the channel regarding what was meant
The mayor of Sligo, who seconded this mo-
tion, explained that what was demanded
was ireland for the Irish. with our own
native government in College Green"
An attempe to tack onto the resolution
pledging the support of the convention to
the Irish party an amendment instructing
the party to "oppose and embarass the
liberal government by every means in its
power" because of Premier Asquiths re-
fusal to make home rule an issut In the
general election, was defeated.
1t became apparent early that Mr.. Red
mond was in control of the convention,
and the speeches of the Sim Feiners charg-
ing that the party was too friendly with
the liberals were shouted down.
William 0Brien was given a distinctly
hostile reception when he opposed Chief
Secretary for Ireland BirrelIs land bill.
He was constantly interrupted. At one.
stage OF his remarks, Eugene Cream, mem
Der of parliament from the southeast di-

WASHINGTON, Feb 9,-The senate today

on the Hopkins bill authorizing the Sec
retary of the treasury to issue bonds to the
extent of $500, 100000 for the construction OF
the canal. Reading a statement of expendi-
lures on the canal to date he declared that
the competition of the lock canal would
