 'In order to understand the situation it is necessary first to know that the membership of the exchange, so far as the cotton mills are concerned is large ly made up of factory managers, and that these managers are in great part raw Lancashire and YorkshtFe men who have never had any coTnrnerciaI train ing or any contact with the outside world of affairs. They know how to run. the mills and that's sll.
 Therefore when many of the mills were forced to close down because of the high price of cotton these managers influ- enced by the newspapers attributed the depression in trade to me exclusively. 1 attach no significance to the incident and I hold no i'll feeling whatsoever

Washington, March 17.-(Special)-By the latter part of May the congressional committee hopes to complete it's investi- gation of the Ballinger-Pinchot embroglio and be ready to submit its report to Congress, provided it is found unneces- sary-as it appears at present-to journey to Alaska to examine on the ground the biggest bone of contention the Gun ningham claims
 At the present time there are 16 wit nesses yet to testify, including 10 for whom subpoenas have been issued.

Little Rock, March 17-Counsel for the Waters-Pierce oil company declared to- day an appeal would be made to the state supreme court in the case decided against them yesterday involving the right of a county to tax open accounts and notes of foreign corporations. In the event of an adverse decision in that tribunal the com pany will take the case to the United States supreme court. In addition to the Waters-P Pierce company several large packing firms joined in the case as plain tiffs. all holding that the notes were tax able at the home office. and not in the states where branch offices are located.

seductively oratorical in such an argu- ment and a dangerous opponent, but with both Brandeis and Pepper in oppo- sition the forensic battle promises to be hot.
 The members of the committee are anxious to report their findings at the earliest possible date, and there seems to be little disposition to make the jun ket'' to Alaska that was at first pointed out as being the probable procedure.

Chicago Man Condemns Eng lands Rule in Emerald Isle
IRISH PEOPLE FAMOUS
History of Ireland Shows How It Has Led in Literature, Arts and the
 Sciences and achievement Is Now Demanded

Chicago, March 1-"Seven and half centuries of failure, ignominious failure, is England's record in Ireland Let her give us what she has been forced to give Canada and her other colonies, what she is soon to give India. Willing to bury the dead black, hideous past, will ing to work in the worlds great arena | if given a chance, we ask simply for justice Evidences are on all sides here and in Ireland, since the people are be- ing put into possession of the land, to justify the claim that Ireland is worthy of self-government."
 Prof. J. C. Monaghan, one of the speak CTS at the Irish Fellowship club banque. tonight made the foregoing remarks In
 beginning he questioned the right of England to sovereignty over Ireland, and declared it's claims were based on a bull of weak pope and an act of a cor rupt and alien Irish parliament
 Races and nations are measured by their contributions to literature, sciences,
 laws or legislations; to religion and to
 the arts. or aesthetic temperaments, he said. And in all these lines Ireland
 ranks high-among the highest.
 | Professor Monaghan went into details as to Ireland's contributions to each of | these fields. He said the world owed Ire- land a help forward; that when the Ro-
 man empire was in ruins, when Vandal and Goth were wasting the heritage of centuries, wping out literature religion, a nd ri md I,a cofa l.
 was Ireland that kept the fires of learn ing kindled on all her hills. To these even Alfred, England's Washington, went.
 From her great schools she sent schol- ars to France. to Italy, to Spain, to Ger many. to Scotland and to England, "The world is not wanting in good
 reasons for interfering in Ireland's be-
 half,' declared the speaker. Ut gave
 liberty to Switzerland, taking it from
 the talons of the eagles of empire; it gave liberty to Greece, taking it from the flag of Turkey It separated Bel gium and Holland in 1SsO making the former neutral territory. It told the Austrians to take care of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It emancipated Bulgaria. | At Paris in 1856 it told Russia how far | it might or might not go in it's march toward Constantinople. It did this again | in Berlin in 1878. It stepped between
 China and Japan in 1894. It stepped be- | tween Japan and Russia at Portsmouth
 It favored China on more than one oc- casion when eagles of empire, bent upon tearing it to pieces, were about to swoop down upon it. We saw Denmark and Norway decide upon a peaceful parti- ton of their dual kingdom.
 | "In view of all this" concluded the speaker. does 1t not seem that 1t is not
 only right but time that the plea of Ire- land for self-government should be granted?"

Ircland's "sodv Disappears

Chicago, March 1.-The true inward ness of why President Taft did not stand on a piece of the "ould sod" at the St. Patrick's banquet tonight is something of a mystery. In any event the sod for most part had disappeared, carried away during last night, it is alleged, by souve- mir hunters.
 The sod was imported in order that the President might address Irish-A Americans from the real soil of the Emerald Isle. Upon it's arrival in Chicago 1t was stored in room at the LaSalle hotel, where the banquet was held tonight
 Ever since It's arrival crowds of Irish men and women have visited the hotel and cried at the sight of this tangible bit of their fatherland. These people, in some cases, undoubtedly carried away small pieces of the sod, but the heaviest inroad is said to have been made last night and just how 1t was made Is not clearly explained by the souvenir hy- pothesis.
 In some quarters 1t is hinted that the disappearance was not accidental, but was deliberately carried out as solution of the rule that the President of the United States shall not during his term set foot on foreign soil The sod was re- garded as an actual part of Ireland, Q stranded fragment and many argued that the President could not in propriety stand on it.
 When the view was extended that the sod had no political significance but was 6 mere importation of mineral and vegeta- ble matter, the sentimentalsts took great uinbrage.
 While the souvenir explanation may be the correct one, the police are making no move to discover the culprits. peace reigns among the erstwhile disputants and the President had to be content with carry ing a small chunk of the "ould sod" back to Washington. vs When the disappearance was discov- cred today the official explanation was that the sod was altogether too bulky for a banquet room and that it occupied space where a chair might better be placed, anyway.

MINE IS RESTORED
 TO THE AMERICANS

Mexico City, March 1.-The supreme court today by a unanimous vote re- stored the famous San Juan mine in the state of Oaxaca to the American com pany which originally developed it. This decision terminates one of the most cele- brated cases pending in the courts of the country. Possession of the property was given to a Mexican by q local court de- cision of Oaxaca under a judgment by default two years ago. The San Juan is one of the richest mines in Mexico and is valued at s4,000,000.
 The decision is generally believed to be one that will greatly encourage the fur ther investment of foreign capital in this republic.
