DENIED BY REDMOND.
Says Situation Regarding Home
Rule Legislation Is Not Critical.
Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.

Foreign Correspondence OF The Star.
LONDON. June 9, 1911.
John Redmond, telegraphing to Bel
fast. emphatically denies the report
that the situation between the cabi-
net and the Irish party over the home
rule clauses has become critical.
The suggestion that the government
means to withhold power Of legislation
from an Irish parliament is foolish
invention. Finance will no doubt be a
thorny problem in the settlement with
Ireland, but the finance of home rule
has not yet been discussed with the
nationalist leader. At present a cabi-
net committee is patiently exploring
the whole problem of the financial rela-
lions Of the two countries. The sea-
son for negotiation has not arrived.

in the case however, until he returned
to the city Detectives Baur and Corn
well were assigned to the case. although
no record of the reported theft Of the
money. according to inspector Boardman.
was made on the records at police
headquarters.
Shortly before noon today an unidenti-
fed young white man called at the re-
porters' room at police headquarters and
inquired il ne could procure an envelope
and paper. When told that he could get
one from Inspector Boardman's clerk he
went into that department.
A short time later the same young man
was seen by Clerk Phillips to place an
envelope addressed to Detective Baur,
and marked personal, on the desk in the
detective office.

When Detective Baur opened the en-
velope he discovered $50 inside. There
was also note written on a small piece
of paper as follows: $3.50 to be held for
safekeeping." There was no name signed
to the note.
The detectives are now looking for the
person who left the mysterious envelope
containing the money at the detective
bureau.
Inspector Boardman declares he be-
lieves that the person who took the money
and pocketbook from Mr.. Cady heard
that the police had been notified and de-
cided to return 1t by the method stated
