BRITISH CRUISER INSIDE LIMIT
Steamed Toward Fortress Monroe in
Waiting Deutschland

Norfolk, Va, July 26.-Pilotless and
without warning to United States Off
cials, one OF the British cruisers lying
off Cape Henry awaiting the appearance
of the German submersibes Deutschland
and Bremen, steamed through the Vir-
ginia capes early yesterday, proceeded
to the vicinity of Fortress Monroe,
cruised about for an hour or more, and
then returned to point just outside the
three mile limit.
The United States warship Louisiana
and the collier Neptune were the only
government vessels which sighted the
ship and detailed report of the incident
was made to Washington last night by
naval officers.
Washington, July 26.-Oficials here
are inclined to believe that the British
cruiser which made an incursion into
Hampton Roads early yesterday had
acted wholly within her rights under in
ternational law. Although official com
ment will be withheld pending receipt of
the naval report on the incident, it was
indicated that the version contained in
news dispatches showed no violation of
American neutrality.

Washington, July 26.-The proposed
increased rates over New England rail
roads on milk, cream and their products
were to-day found not to be justified by

The increases would have given the car

Land roads giving rate preference to
those dairymen leasing cars over those
shipping in less than carload lots were
found unlawful by the commission The
carriers were instructed to construct a

The commissions opinion deals with

poor economy to allow the leased car

AMERICANS MAY PROTEST
Over Alleged Barring of Irish Relief Fund
Officials from England.

New York, July 26.-Officers of The
Irish relief fund are awaiting an ex
planation of the refusal of the British
| government to permit Eugene Kelley
treasurer, and Joseph Smith to land III
England. The matter has been taken
up with the state department. 1t is
probable that meeting of the executive
committee of the fund will be called here
to take further action.
Kelley, as treasurer of the Irish relief
| fund, was en- route to Dublin with
$4,000, representing the second install
ment of the $4,000 fund raised in this
country for the relief of persons in
Ireland who had suffered through the
recent revolt. He was accompanied by
his wife, who was Emerance de Sallier
du Pin, of Watertown, n. Y, and Joseph
Smith of Lowell, Mass, journalist and
lecturer.
The first installment of the fund was
taken to Ireland by Gill and Murphy.
Friends of Kelly said here that he in
tended to give more than 100000 out
of his own funds to the relief work.
George j. Gillespie, chairman of the
executive committee of the Irish relief
fund, when informed of the predcament
of Kelly and the latter's party, commu-
icated with the state department. He
said he was informed that action would
be taken Immediately.
Gillespie said he could not understand
the action of the British authorities in
view of the fact that Kelly and the
others had in addition to their pass
ports a personal letter from Secretary
of State Lansing introducing them to
the American ambassador at London.
Their passports" asserted Giles
pie, were obtained through my efforts,
and / assure you their mission to Ire
land was none other than the one stated
therein-the relief of the needy. The
British consul-general vised the pass
ports before the party called and in
formed me of their acceptabilty. If
there was any objection why wasn't it
at that time!'
Kelly, son of a wealthy banker, is /
so years old, a member of the Papal 1
household, and a trustee of st. Pat /
rick's cathedral of this city. He is a |
grandnephew of Archbishop Hughes, the /
first archbishop of New York. who was 4
sent to France by President Lincoln as 4
a special ambassador during the Civil I
war.
Smith was born in Ireland 50 years 1
ago. In 1873 he came to the United !
States and in 1854 was nsturslized. He
was at various times editor of the
lowell Times, Boston Traveller, Bos-
.on Truth and other newspapers and
periodicals. He served four years in
he United States cavalry.

declared the organization is strictly non J.

that given by Atwood, who, upon his al

the latter had come between the young

fore he lapsed into Inconsistencies.
Atwood's attorneys have iutimated
that the defense would be temporary
insanity. Atwood has, said that the
death of his sweetheart was the culm-
of a series OF incidents that drove
him mad. There is a theory that Miss
Adams was murdered. Motive for sui
