Armour Charged
 With Attempt To
 Defraud Company

IRepublican A. P. Leased WireI
 CHICAGO, July s.-J. Ogden Armour and 12 others were charged here today with attempt ing to cheat and defraud minority stockholders in the Chicago Utilities company in connection with an alleged planned auction sale of twenty million dollars in default bonds. The allegation, made by 23 minority stockholders, in bill for an injunction to pre- vent the sale, states that the de- fendants intend to purchase these bonds in their entirety for only $750,oO0.
 The compliments set up that Armour and the other defendants own or control all of class IA" and most of class "Bp of the twenty million dollar bond issue, and that because there is interest due on these bonds, the property securing them, worth $30, ,o0o, 900, is going to be sold to the high est bidder. This, according to the minority stockholders, con stitutes an effort to freeze them out.

 his aide de camp had been sent in advance, presumably to ascertain whether his participation would be agreeable.
 General MacReady's appearance and long stay at the conference clearly had to do with Mir. Lloyd Georges letter to Earl Middleton, one of the conferees. in which the prime minister decided that 1t would be im- possible to conduct negotiations with any hope of achieving satisfactory results if violence in Ireland continue and also that the British government would give instructions to troops and police to suspend active operations the moment De Valera declared lis intention to enter into conference with the British government and to order cessation of all acts Of violence by those under his control. Genera, MacReadys presence at the conference has additional signifi- canoe because 1t has been stated that the militarlst party in Ireland has been strongly opposing peace negoti- ations and any idea of a truce.
 No report of the proceedings of Mir De Aalera's conference with the southern Unionists has yet been is sued, but is is believed that the prin- cipaI topic discussed was truce end that Eamonn Doggan. a Sim Fein member of parliament. who was re- leased from Mount Joy prisop only few days ago. was Intermediary be- tween the conference and the Sim F'ein leaders
 Shuts to Preside Opinion still inclines to the idea that General Shuts. owing to the i'm portant part he has taken in pre- iiminary negotiations, will be the first chairman of the London con- ference, even if Mir. Lloyd George presides during the later stages. as would be almost inevitable if con- stitutional questions were under dis cussion.
 Another matter that has been wide ly discussed today. arising out of the visit of the secretary of war, Mir. Laming Worthington Evans. to the king yesterday was the possibility that the military evacuation of Ire land is under consideration This. it is recalled has been advocated by many prominent statesmen, including Viscount Grey. former secretary for l foreign affairs. In view of General MacReady'G attendance at the Dublin conference it is believed not impos- sible that such development is ac- | tually under adyisement King Paves Way 1 King George. accompanied by l Queen Mary, attended the opening of the Ulster parliament on June 22. The king. in an urgent plea for peace | in Ireland and conciliation between the people of that country and the empire, urged the Irish to forgive and 1 forget.

New York. May 10. Stahilization oi

Mr.. Hoover added that publicity
would to some extent mitigate extor

II believe this will go some distance
toward accomplishing several things. II
