recommendations for the association,
and which reviewed In detail the prog
ress during the past year and the work
of the various committees of the asso
ciation, with recommendations for those
and suggestions Jn general for tho wel
fare of the association. Tho address

ble to the Insurance men ever deliv
ered before the association, and was
referred to a committee of seven for
a discussion of the points Involved,
■with power granted this committee of
recommending enactment of the sug
gestions.

managed by Government boards The
council Is to be appointed by the
crown and while the lord lieutenant of
Ireland is given power to nullify Its
measure, the crown retains control
of five of the eight depar'. ments.lnclud-
ing the constabulary The control of
this branch has always been a thorn
in the flesh of the Irish people It is
natural and quite to be expected that
this half-way measure is wholly pleas
ing to no political party. The union
ists regard it as a step to home rule
They object to giving :« Ireland the
management of many departments of
I local affairs, while the Irish members
I of the house of commons retain the
t right to legislate in- similar affairs
for England and Scotland They crit
Icize also the plan of Government by
a council through eight committees as
complicated and cumbersome The
Radicals ere disappointed that t?ie
measure falls so short of actual home
rule and the Irish members are even
more disappointed with it The Irish
loaders, however, are maintains a dip
lomatic attitude until they have t ime
to study the provisions of the bill
and learning the sentiment of the peo
ple A Nationalist convention will be
held in Dublin soon, to decide upon
the policy of the Irish party. The
laborites still support the measure be
cause they are all home rulers.
After the bill had been presented and
explained by Mr. Birreli and criticized
and ridiculed by A. J. Balfour on be
half of the opposition. John E. Red
mond delivered a brilliant speech,
noteworthy principally for its dignified
and forceful exposition of Ireland’s
claim for complete home rule. The
audience of the speaker was worthy
the historical and parliamentary oc
casion.
The entire ministry occupied seats
on the front benches. Mr. Balfour
lounged in his characteristic languid
attitude opposite, with George Wynd-
liam. the former chief secretary for
Ireland, beside him. The floor of the
house was packed, and the galleries

HONESTLY HE STOLE
F
Gus Caldwell, a negro, was yesterday
committed to Jail without bond by United
States Commissioner L. M. Erwin, on the
charge of breaking iniy> nnd robbing
the opstolTIce at Neal. Ga.. some days
ago. All of the evidence was circumstan
tial. but was of a tenor calculated to go
hard with the negro.
It developed at the preliminary trial
that a hat worn by the negro had been
recognized by Postmaster William Henry
Gay. as being one from the stock In his
otore. which adjoins the postoffice. - .ie
negro stated to Mr. Gay that he had found
tho hat In the road, and to other wit
nesses that he had purchased It from
Madden's store at Concord. Ga. At the
trial yesterday the negro said that he
wantrd to be honest and tell the truth,
and that he didn't break Into the post-
office or store, but that he stole the hat
from off the counter In the store one
night previous to the robbery.
Mr. Gay testified that the front and
back door to the store and postoffice had
William Little, whose name describes
his size, was arraigned before Judge
Emory Speer in the United States Court
Tuesday on the charge of illicit distilling
In Twiggs County. It was evidently Lit
tle's first offense, as he appeared very
nervous and timid, and immediately plead
guilty to the charge. Mr. Hughes, from
the same county, offered to go on Llttle’3
bond, which occasioned the following con
versation to pass between the prisoner and
Judge Speer:
Judge Speer (slightly humorous)—I
don’t know that I ought to do that. This
looks rather like a desperate man. How
long have you been running that still?
Prisoner—I run it one time.
Judge Speer—How much liquor did you
make? A—About two gallons.
Judge Speer—Syrup liquor, or corn
liquor? A.—Nor. sir: skimmlngs.
Judge Speer—How many have you in
the family? A.—Seven children, my wife
and mother.
Judge Speer—Only seven? How long
have you been married? A.—About 15
years.
Judge Speer—What size of crop have
you got? A.—About 32 or 33 acres.
Judge Speer—Do you own your own
stock? A.—No. ' sir; I haven’t got any
stock at all; I am a poor man; I run my
farm.
Judge Speer—Who Is going to work
your crop while you are in jail, from now
to cotton picking time? A.—I haven't got
anybody.
Judge Speer—Your family would suffer,
wouldn't they?- A.—Yes, sir.
Judge Speer—Do you think you would
rig up that pot still again if I let you go
on bond? A.—No. sir.
Judge Speer—You will have to suffer.
This is the first case that I remember
from Twiggs. It is a very pious, tem
perate county, and I will have to make
an example of you. but I will not do it
until the first Mondav In December, if
Mr. Hughes will go oh your bond for a
couple of hundred dollars, you can go and
make your crop, gather and dispose of it.
and then meet me here on the first Mon
day in December, and I will see what
I can do for you. It depends a good deal
on what you do between now and then.
You will be uncomfortable with this sen
tence hanging over you. thinking how you
will miss Christmas and all the good
times then in the country, and you will
reflect that the way of the transgressor
a hard., You had much better have let
at still alone. However. I mav lessen
yotfr sentence a little if I see that you
have been a good man between now and
then. I hope you will work hard and
make a good crop now.

tempt to kill Capt. Edgar B. Macklln at
the latter's home at Ft. Reno. Capt.
Macklln todav gave a description of his
assailant which tallied with that of the

tively Identify Knowles, as his assailant’s
features, he said, were partially hidden by
a handkerchief used as a mask. Mrs.
Johnsqn. Capt. Macklin’s colored cook,
who was an eye-witness to the assault,

was a negro. She said ho wore a khaki
suit and carried a revolver with a black
handle, which she believed was an army
revolver.

ville. but elected one Alderman in Con
cord. In Charlotte a business men's tick

QUARRELED ABOUT
THEIR WEDDING RING
WASHINGTON. May 8.—As the re
suit. It is alleged, of a quarrel over
wedding ring, Wm. O. Rice, aged 2
years, of 1SI Heckman street, south
east, this city, and a telegraph oper
ator on the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road, today shot and killed his wife
Lillian, fired a shot at his 1-year-old
baby, Earl, which took effect in the
leg and then committed suicide by
shooting himself. Rice, who worke
nights, returned to his home at an
early hour this morning, and finding
his wife and baby asleep woke them
up. A discussion ensued regarding
Mrs. Rice's wedding ring, it being al
leged that Rice had possession of the
ring and would not return it to his
wife. A quarrel followed when Rice
securing a pistol lying on a table, fired
four shots.
Rice, his wife and child, resided in
the house of Mrs. Rice’s father and
mother. Relatives think the crime
was actuated by jealousy although they
say there was no reason for it. Tho
tragedy was enacted in the presence of
Miss Ida Groves, sister of the mur
dered woman.
Rice died almost instantly, two bul
lets having entered his body. His wife
breathed her last while in the patrol
wagon on the way to Providence Hos
pi tnl. Little Earl was detained at the
hospital to be treated for a bullet
wound in the fleshy part of his leg and
while the surgeons think he will re
cover from the effects of it, they are
not certain that an Injury to his head
sustained when he fell from his moth
er’s arms, will not result seriously.
There have been two murders and
four suicides in Washington within
twenty-four hours.

WILL STAND TOGETHER
NEW YORK. May 8.—Among the
passengers who arrived tonight on. the
steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II.
NEW YORK, May S.—Representa
tives of the trans-Atlantic steamship
companies against which a strike for
higher wages has been doclared by the
longshoremen, met in conference to
night and decided, according to
statement made subsequently, to re
fuse the advanced asked and stand to
gether in the fight with their former
employes. Following the conference
one of those who had taken part in it
said:
“We have affirmed our previous
understanding not to increase the pres
ent rate of wages. The action of the
men in striking without more than
thirty minutes' notice was unfair, as
was their failure to see the officials of
the lines and lay their demands before
them before quitting work. The
steamship lines, as a result of tonight's
meeting, will stand together in the
fight.”
The strikers tonight expressed them
selves as confident that they would be
able eventually to tie up all the trans-
Atlantic traffic. If the men succeed in
no more than upsetting the sailing
schedules by causing frequent delays
in sailings, the situation at this season
of the year, when the travel is especial
ly heavy, the trouble would be serious.
That the strikers could accomplish
more the steamship official denied.
AH the larger steamers scheduled to
sail today gol away though the Kaiser
Wilhelm DerGrosse, of the North Ger
man Lloyd line, was delayed about an
hour.
The Georgic. of the White Star line,
the Hamburg, of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line, the Cunarder, Caronia and
the California, of the Generale Trans-
Atlantique Compagne all left late.
The coastwise steamers, including the
City of Columbus, of the Ocean Steam
ship Company, for Savannah, and the
Old Dominion liner Jamestown, for
Norfolk, got away as did several
freighters and tramp steamers. In
spite of the fact that probably 10,000
longshoremen are on strike along the

EIGHT MEN SROT III
WO STDIKE RIOT
SAN FRANCISCO. May F—Strik-
breakers In the uniforms of car Inspec
tors, and strikers and their sympathiz
ers fought this afternoon on Turk SL,
for more than an hour. Eight men were
shot, among them a policeman and
Detective Bell. Several of the men
will die. The shooting was done by
strike-breakers from car windows, in
response to showers of paving stones
and bricks hurled by tho mob. The
riot is still in progress. Many police
reserves have been caled out, and with
clubs and drawn revolvers are dis
persing the mob.
Eight men received bullet wounds,
some of which will prove fatal. Among
those injured are Detective Sergeant
Ball and a patrolman.
Finally a dozen or more of the guards
were arrested by reserves from the Cen
tral police station, and a union crowd
boarded the rearmost car and started
it back to the barns. Arriving there,
the strikers charged, and a revolver fire
was opened from the barns. In this
encounter several more men were shot.
A non-union man threw tho switch at
Turk and Fillmore streets and the de
railed car shot into the sidewailt maim
ing two men whose names have not
been learned. In the stampede that
followed, scores of women and chil
dren were trampled upon.
The appearance of relief squads to
re-inforce Police Captain Mooney's men
resulted about 4:30 o'clock in the par
tial dispersing of the crowds. A rumor
has it that Supt. Chapman was seen
about 5 o'clock driving rapidly on Gol
den Gate avenue, in an automobile that
was bespattered with blood. There is
no confirmation of the rumor that Mr.
Chapman, was wounded. Practically all
of the police reserves at the various
precinct stations have been called out
and are now patrolling the neighbor
hood of Fillmore and Turk streets.

In a certain case in tho United States

plaintiff and defendant clashed in a wordy
altercation as to the exact language of
a letter which had been copied in the
record of the court. Things were begin
ning to warm up when Judge Speer's
gavel sounded, and addressing the attor

“Gentlemen, we were discussing the
subject of cotton seed—the court has been
a little diverted from its train of thought
by these 'Sand-Bar Ferry’ observations.”
The Judge's reference to the famous
dueling spot near Augusta was enough
for the attorneys, both of whom then
disclaimed any personal reference.

DUN’S REPORT OF BANK CLEARINGS FOR APRIL.
Bank clearings for April, as reported by R. 0. Don & Co., show continued heavy settlements
through the banks in all sections of the United States, in most of them larger than ever be
fore reported in April, and this notwithstanding exceptional activity in April of both pre
ceding years. Reduced payments through the New York City banks, due to the much
smaller volume of stock market operations this year, again causes a loss in New York City
bank clearings compared with both preceding years, but despite the latter, total bank ex
changes at all cities in the United States outside New York are 34,050,289,850, an increase
of 13.9 per cent, over last year, and 22.1 per cent, over April, 1905. This is a very satisfactory
showing, especially as to results achieved at the Important manufacturing centers in the New
England States, in the Middle Atlantic Statea and in the Central West. Further improve
ment is noted at the South, and Baltimore reports a small gain, with much better results at
Richmond and Atlanta. Decreases are still shown at two or three Southern cities, but these
are not important. St Louis, New Orleans and Louisville report gains. There is a good in
crease at Chicago, and other Important Central Western cities, and few losses, while at the
far West further heavy gains at many places point to continued rapid expansion there. At
Pacific Coast cities a large increase testifies to the activity of trade in that section, though at
San Francisco the report for April last year embraces only part of the month. Portland and
some other northern Pacific cities continue to show an exceptionally heavy volume of busi
ness. Comparison is made below of bank exchanges by sections covering three years, also
the average daily figures for the year to date:

In the South Atlantic States bank exchanges show much less irregularity than in the pre
ceding months, particularly in the extreme southern portion of this section, and the improve
ment over the earlier months of the year continues. Baltimore shows a small gain and there
are substantial increases at Richmond, Norfolk, Charleston, Atlanta, Macon and Jackson
ville, but Savannah, Augusta, and Wilmington, N. C., report a decrease compared with a year
ago. The figures in detail are printed below:
