Asquiih's Statement on Hal

Pacific Tone Proves a Source
OF Great Satisfaction.
Speeches on Domestic Affairs Are
General in Their Nature.

London, Feb. 14-The opening, to-
day, of the parliamentary session
which is to deal with home rule, Welsh
disestablishment and electoral reform
was marked by a statement by Pre-
mier Asquith that the visit of Nis-
count Haldane, secretary of war, to
Germany was made on the invitation
of Germany, and that the conferences
between the British war minister and
the German authorities had reference
to desire by both countries that the
existing tension be relieved. Interest
in this statement completely over
shadowed that in the government s
huge legislative program. Since Sec
retary Haldane's visit to Berlin, the
English people have been prepared
for the announcement that it had to
do with Anglo German relations but
they hardly hoped that the conferences
had proceeded so far as the prime
minister's guarded speech shows. His
hopeful words that he believed that
the conferences may have more than
negative results, have caused the
greatest satisfaction.
It is evident that Andrew Bonar Law
and Lord Lansdowne, leaders of the

After the prosecution had closed it's

a motion by the attorneys for the de-
fense to have stricken from the record

duced by the prosecution, on the ground
that it failed to connect the defendants
with the murder of the italian wo-
man. Judge J. j. Mahoney finally
ruled that the evidence should stand.
