Offensive Examination Of AIneri- can Citizens by English Official

] New York, Aug. l2.-Among the ] passengers arriving last night from 1 Liverpool on the American liner Phil adelphia were MT. and Mrs. Thomas 1 Ii. Kelly and Joseph Smith, who went 1 10 Liverpool on the liner four weeks l ago today, taking $50,0O0 for the re- 1 lief Of the sufferers of the recent re- volt i'll Ireland
 l The British authorities refused 10 ] allow the party to land, and they l spent the entire time from New York l back to New York, twenty eight days, on board ship, including the three days the Philadelphia was on dry dock at Liverpool.
 Their detention attracted world wide attention and inquiries were made by American officials concerning it. MT. Kelly gave out a statement in which
 he described the methods of the Brit
 ish authorities at Liverpool in dealing
 with them on their arrival there.
 In the statement he said:
 MT. and Mrs Kelly and MT. Smith
 were called after time by numbers
 given them (132, 135. 16S) and invited
 to a corner of the dining saloon, where
 their passports and papers were de-
 manded and given over to E. N. Coop
 CT, aliens officer Messrs. Kelly and
 Smith were then taken to their ca
 bins by detectives and subjected to
 personal search of the mlnutest char acter; their pockets emptied, pocket
 books opened, all papers, cards, let ters, notebooks. etc, scrut1nized and read, and their arms, legs, and bod ies felt to ascertain if anything was concealed about their persons. It was the sort of examination that arrested criminals are usually subjected to. The detectives then conducted them to the dock, where their baggage was, and they were ordered to open 1t, and where it was examined in great detail.
 '"The baggage of Mrs. ely was sub- jected to the same scrutiny and m1n- ute inspection, her private letters and papers being examined and read, the whole transaction being singularly lacking in decency, propriety, or any consideration for the feelings or rights of the examined. We were then returned to the dining saloon of the ship, where we were subjected to an oral examination and much cross questioning by MT. Cooper, alien off, cer and Captain Gunnis of the Kings Liverpool Regiment and Major Money of the same regiment, in a fashion that savored cf the police court law yer and practitioner. There were sev- eral other persons there, who appeared 10 be friends of the eXam1ng officials and anlusd spectators of our humiliat- ing treatment.

The dele- gates began arriving in large numbers today.
 John w. Hays. secretary and treas shortage of print paper is making it difficult for many newspaper corpor- atiOns to continue business. In some cities, he said, there was talk of con sOlidating two or more plants to re- duce working forces and expenses.
 That the union probably will de- eide to cooperate In Q federal inves- tgatiOn to determine whether there is conspiracy among paper manu- facturers, was the belief expressed by union leaders.
 The convention will hold a brief session on Monday for organization and appointment of committees

New York, Aug. 12.-Fresh from a trip across the continent, Calvin Me- Nab, a leading democrat of Califor- mia, declared at democratic national headquarters yesterday that sentiment throughout the nation was growing for President Wilson.
 "The issue before the people," he l said, lis P. and P.-peace and pros perity. No other part of the world is blessed like ours. The country is going to leave we'll enough alone, when we'll enough is the best thing there is in the world today Justice Hughes objects to the policy in Mex ico. The misfortunes the Mexicans brought upon themselves are not go- ing to disturb the good fortune of America. Domestic policies will con- tro1. Justice Hughes files a dissenting op1niOn-offers no solution of the Mexican question now. If he has any, he should offer it to the country while congress is in session. This is better than postponing until election.
 "A man fit to be president must be willing to serve his country at any time. There Is nothing to scOlding the past. Let us assume that MT. Hughes for purposes of Mexico is now president. Let him tell his cOun- try what to do. If he has a cure for the eviLlet him prescribe and demon strate. How is it that the only man in the world who knows how to solve the Mexican troubles won't tell be- cause he is running for president
 George R. Lunn, socialist mayor of Schenectady, called at national dem ocratic headquarters and said that he was heartily for the election of the president. He said he had discussed the national situation recently With Raymond Robbins, who recently came out for MT. Hughes, and that he, MT. Lunn, could not understand the change that has come over MT.
