If the talk that has been current for the past several
years has not been mere amles complaining both the con-
sng public Of the city and the farmers Of the surround

have been positive in their assertions that market is real
necessity. They ought to be given an opportunity to show
whether or not they are sincere If the market fails the
failure will at least put an end to their complaints against
lie merchants Of the city, of which are fully justified

British Prime Minister Calls

HIS TORICAL EVENT
Future of Unhappy Country
Rests With Gathering of
Its Citizens.
H | S RICAL EVENT

London, May 21.-For the first time
IN modern history. the destinies of Ire
land are to be placed in the hands of
the 1rishmen alone. The British prime
minister David Lloyd George. an
nounced to the house of commons to-
day that the government will call a
convention of Irishmen to frame Il con-
stitution for Ireland, and If Irishmen
are able to agree upon any scheme for
the administration of their country
will attempt to enact it into legisla-
ton without delay. All sects, parties.
creeds and factions, with clergymen
and laymen. as well as politicians and
even revolutionists Of the Sim Fein
society will be invited to get together.
Dublin. May 21.-The proposed Irish
convention is warmly welcomed by al
most all sections of the Nationalists.
Mr.. Redmonds speech accurately rep-
resents the view Of his supporters in
the Irish party.
Count PlunEett and other extremists
rtpudiate the convention Il trap, but
there is reason to believe that the
Sim Fcin leaders now in jail disap-
prove Of their conduct of the move
ment so that they do not represent the
real body of extremists.
The Cnionists express delight at the
convention and are anxious for an OPP
portunity to make claim for special
treatment. which never so far have
been definitely formulated.
The real cruX of the situation is to
be found in northeast Ulster The
Orange newspapers there have been
extremely hostile to the idea Of any
convention to shape a constitution for
Ireland.
If Ulster enters the convention
which is considered in well Informed
circles as doubtful it is probable that
terms could be arranged to meet its
fears and thus render a continuance
of irreconcilable opposition untenable
Promptitude is regarded as essential
as, it is pointed out. delay would pro.
woke the suspicion that the convention
was merely designed to gain time.

OMAN UNDER CLOUD

San Francisco. May 2l.-Four tales
men had been accepted as jurors. sub

close of the first days proceedings in
the murder trial Of Mrs. Rena Mooney,
which began here today.
The case is the third OF five growing
from a bomb explosion here July p.
1916, during preparedness parade.
Ten persons We're killed and 40 were
injured by the explosion.
Charges Against Oman.
Much interest attached to Mrs.
Moneys trial because of charges that
Frank c. Oxman, principal witness
against her husband, Thomas j..
Mooney, persuaded f. T.. Rigall of
Granville. H., to come here to back up
his testimony, when he knew Rigall
was not in town on the day of the
explosion. On Il showing of letters by
Rigall. which Oxman admitted having
written, OXman was held to the SUI
perior court on charge of attempted
snbornation of perjury. Rigall. after
coming here. went back home without
testifying. habeas corpus proceed
ing designed to release OSman from
the jurisdiction of the superior court
also is pending.
Judge Emmett Seawell of Santa Rosa
took the bench mt the opening OF court
today Judge Frank II. Dunno, to
whom the case was assigned, denied a
petition from counsel for the defense
that he disqualify himself as prejn
diced. and then withdrew voluntarily.
Through the day the prosecution
challenged every talesman who said
he would not inflict the death penalty.
The defense generally asked il the
talesman would be influenced il a
possible witness aasinst the defendant
appeared in court under cloud. 1t is
possible that oXman may be called to
testify while proceedings against him
are pending. Questions by the defense
also indicated that Mrs. Mooney may
testify in her own defense.

Is to be done Is inaccessible, on
account of the snow banking the
road on the north slope, by which
the plants and the supplies for
the workers must be brought in.
