Irish Convention
May Be Swayed by
Death of Redmond
Some Newspapers Believe
Factions Will Be Inhu-
enced to His Policy

LONDON, March SIT is impossible
to say what effect the death of John
Redmond, the Irish leader, will have
upon the Irish convention. Redmond's
policy was all for conciliation Some
newspapers arr going on the theory
that the Irish are emotional people
and believe that the deep sympathy
aroused by the national leaders death
at critical hour of Ireland's destiny
may influence all factions toward his
policy.
AS the meetings of the convention
are secret, the trend or events can be
judged only when the convention makes
it's report. Mr.. Redmond's health kept
him away from most of the recent sit
tings. Some of his followers thought
him 100 willing to make compromises,
and his disappearance from the scene
may stiffen the Nationalist attitude;
but that still is matter of specula-
tion on which no predictions can be
made

WASHINGTON, March a-Brigadier
General Evan NJ. Johnson, who at pres
cnt commands Camp Upton, L. l., has
been in Washington for few days, and
to-day he expressed great enthusiasm
over the condition of the camp and
the progress of training.
General Johnson praised the morale
of the men of his command and said
he had had no trouble in the matter of
discipline and that the number of
courts martial had been SO small that
it was hardly worth mentioning. In
speaking of the advantages which his
men had received by reason of their
opportunity to appear before their
home people in New York City, he said
that the effect had been excellent and
that he was satisfied the division would
make a showing at the front that
would be a credit to the service.

Because one of them lost collar in

Fred c. VESSEL on February 25, two
men were brought here from Cleve-
land, Ohio, yesterday to answer
charges of grand larceny and assault.
They are Edward Stahr, thirtythree
years old, and Joseph Pruitte, thirty
two years old. They took from Mr..
VESSEL 500 in cash and a diamond
stud worth $500.
After they left the city the robbers
pawned the stud in Baltimore and then
went to Cleveland and wrote to their
laundry to forward their clothes to
the new address. The police had al
ready traced the collar to that laundry
and they learned of the letter. They
left for Cleveland and got there be-
