ENVOYS OF IRELAND MASOMC II ALL PACKT,!) II Y Al'Dl- i:.cn or mmiMi:. Messrs. Redmond. Mclliigh and O'Don nell Interested Their Hearers Dnrlne Three Hoars. MOVEMENT TO TREE ERIN its AtiiTATort iii:cliii: it iiati:s to FitiiiT ron i:m;lam). (irent Enthusiasm Aroused ly Pa triotic Sentiments und 31 r. O'DonneH'a Erse. Three unadulterated Irishmen John I'. Redmond, Patrick A. McHugh and Thomas O'Ponnell stirred to enthusiasm an audi ence that packed Masonic Hall last night. They had come to Indianapolis early in the day and had met the leading Irifh Amerlcan citizens at the Grand Hotel. The women of the party had been received by a committee of women. In the evening a procession of five hundred or more men, headed by a band and the Hoys of Father Mathew Brigade, had marched from Monu ment place to the Grand Hotel and es corted the guests to the hall. Messrs. Itedmond and McIIuffh are members of the British Parliament, and they, with Mr. O'Donnell, are touring the United States to create interest in the movement that is directed toward Ireland's freedom from English rule. The hall was decorated with American and Irish flags and on the balcony rail were hung pictures of eminent men that sympathized with the Irish cause and ban ners bearing patriotic sentiments. There ; was a portrait of "Oom Paul" Kruger be side a printed declaration by Mr. Redmond, "The sympathy of Ireland Is with the Boers," and a picture of the late General Harrison with his statement that "I would rather be William O'Brien in Tulla more jail than decorated with the star and garter of England." When the visitors and their escort en tered the hall the band played "The Wear ing of the Green" and "Killarney," and the bass horn was especially fervent. The audience cheered, and an elderly woman In the third row of chairs from the stage cried out, "Three cheers for ould Ireland!" This raised a laugh and she retorted, "And I'm not ashamed of It!" An the reception committee appeared on the stage the woman exclaimed In delight, "Nothin' but Irishmen!" Among these prominent men were James Quigley, Frank Ii. Burk, Jo eeph K. Bell and Henry X. Spaan. the pro-Boer. Maurice Donnelly introduced Mayor Bookwalter as the chairman. Mr. Bookwalter said the great audience repre sented the liberty loving people of Indian apolis and that the outpouring, though a tribute of respect to the guests, also was to a greater degree a manifestation of in terest in the cause they represented. He said Irishmen have been for years fighting the battles of the British and that in South Africa their hearts are filled with sympa thy for the Boers while th?y are fighting them. He said the city gave a warm Hoosler welcome to the visitors. MR. REDMOND'S ARRAIGNMENT. When Mr. Redmond arose to speak he was greeted with general cheering. He is the leader of the United Irish League. Both he and Mr. McIIugh have gray hair and mustaches, but they also have the appear ance of youthful strength. Mr. Redmond's speech was of a quiet, practical nature. He said In beginning that Ireland Is more determined to rule itself now than It was fifteen years ago. He and his colleagues bring the message. to Irish Americans that Ireland's hope Is high and It will struggle on, and that If its movement for freedom Is properly supported it will win in a short time. Ireland takes no pride in having fought England's battles either at Waterloo or in South Africa. The land question lies at the root of Ire land's misery, said Mr. Redmond. But the island is better off now than it was before I'arnell began his crusade. Then the Irish were the slaves of the landlords and had no incentive to Industry, for the harder tiny worked the higher went the rents. Parneil lifted off a part of the burden of rent and capricious eviction, and under a govern ment concession 50.000 Irish farmers are buying their farms from the landlords. But the scheme is slow and under It it will bi more than a hundred years before Ire land is entirely free from landlordism. The United Irish League is determined to force the British government to make it com pulsory for landlords in Ireland to sell the land to their tenants. The tenants are willing to buy, said Mr. Redmond, though the landlords' titles rest on robbery, mur der and confiscation. When the Irish farm ers own their land and feel thtlr inde pendence, Mr. Redmond said, they will be fit soldiers to fight for Ireland's national freedom If they are called upon. The English people have their hands full and their time ocupicd by their own trou bles now. said the speaker, and they pay nil attention to Ireland's affairs unless the latter country makes Itself a nuisance and a danger, and that Is what It Is doing now. It Is England's chief embarrass ment, said he. that In its citadel are men that rejoice at Its trouble. He closed by saying that it costs nothing for the Ameri can public to attend pro-Irish meetings and cheer, and what he had to ask is support for the United Irish League, not in money, but in branches of the organization, so that the Irishmen in the British Parlia ment may have a world-wide backing. Mr. McHugh described humorously and sometimes cynically the hardships that Irish agitators undergo for their cause. He was six months In jail for condemning Jury packlr.g in his newspaper at Sligo. He made his audience laugh often, but he gained the same effect on it that Mr. Red mond had with his more serious style. Mr. O'Donnell followed Mr. McHugh. He is younger than his companions and seemed trying to restrain warmer words. He said that Ireland maintains its mother tongue end is proud of Its language and Its flag. He reiterated what one of the other speak ers had paid that the Irl?h were a civil ized people when the English were savage. ERSE AND A RESOLUTION. "Speak some Irish now," cried some one In the gallery Mr. O'Donnell complied, and the members of his audience that understood the Erse could be marked by the eagerness on their faces as they leaned forward to catch his words. The speeches lasted three hours, but the audience was Interested, at times fasci nated, and there was no lack of applause. Andrew M. Sween?y, chairman cf the com mittee on resolutions, offered the following, which was adopted by a rising vote: "Be it Resolved. That this large and en thusiastic assemblage of representatives of the Irish race in the capital city "of Indiana extends to that matchless leader, the Hon. John E. Redmond, and to his colleagues, the Hon. Thomas O'Donnell and the Hon. Patrick A. McHugh. a cordial cead mille tallthe as they enter our portals bearing a message of love and hope as the ac credited envoys of the united people of Ire. and. "Resolved. That we have watched with keenest Interest the recnt successful ef forts to establish the United Irish League in Ireland, and that to the furtherance of this glorious cause we now here gladly pledge our moral and material support: and that it is the sense of this meeting that a branch, or branches, of the I'nited Irish League be organized in this city and State, to aid in the advancement of the cause that lies so near to our hearts, and that all men of Irish birth or lineage be invited to membership therein. "Resolved, That once more England's ad versity becomes Ireland's opportunity, and under heaven's guidance we will strike an other blow for those we love. To strike now, and to strike hard. Is our holy duty. England has never granted Ireland even Pimple justice except as she lias yieldd It through fear. Every concession, the emancipation, the disestablishment, the land reforms and every other reform were extended only from her trembling finger tips. "Resolved. That we contemplate with un bounded satisfaction the decadence of land lordism In Ireland, by which rack rents and cruel evictions were fastened upon the peasantry for ages, and that we hail with extreme delight the dawning day when every Irishman shall have a fee simple title to his land. "Resolved. That the war in South Africa Is now waged by England along the most barbarous lines, and Is In open violation of the rules of civilized warfare; that her cowardly and inhuman conduct there, as reported, is a disgrace to civilization, and should be exposed to the odium of man kind; that from a fellow-feeling' we ex tend our sympathies to the brave Boers in tluir unequal tight for the. God-given right of home rule, and that we thank these en voy guests for the noble stand they took in the very teeth of the British lion in oehalf Of the Boers." Two receptions will be given to-day for the visitors. This afternoon a reception will be given at the Occidental Hotel for the women of the partv. Mrs. Redmond anl Mi5 Daldon, and to-nicht at the Propy latum a reception for the whole party will be given by the Sons of Columbus. ARREST OF W. V. MORRIS LOCAL ISl RAXCE AGEXT CAL'GIIT IN A SCHEMC TO DEFRAUD. When Confronted with III Crime He Confessed nnies of Several Persona Forsed. W. V. Morris, an insurance agent living at 1147 Linden street, after being arrested last evening by Detectives Morgan, Haley and Splan, confessed to forgery arid a unique swindling scheme. V lie was bometime ago employed as a traveling agent for the Continental Casual ty Company, of Chicago. As agent he took the application of M. J. Dowdell, a con ductor on the I., D. & W., who lives at 1104 South Senate . avenue. Dowdell paid J25 for his accident insurance, for which in case of injury he was to get t0 weekly. In October the company received a notice that Dowdell had been injured at Roach dale. Ind., a trunk having fallen on his foot and mashing it, as he passed the door of the baggage car. Attached to the "proof of injury" were certificates of one witness and G. H. Graves, superintendent of the road. Claim was made for six weeks' in demnity, and a check for the amount was mailed to M. J. Dowdell at Roachdale, the company having received notice to change his address from 1104 South Senate avenue to that place. The check was cashed here at the Capitol National Bank and when presented at the Commercial National Bank at Chicago payment was refused. The com pany had in some manner learned that Dowdell had not been injured. The com pany wrote to Morris and he replied that a man claiming to be Dowdell had, during his absence, visited his house antl asked for the check. Morris said his wife had cashed the check after it had been given to Dowdell, who claimed to be unable to secure identification at the bank. Last night he confessed to having forged the names of the witness and G. H. Graves, superintendent of the I., D. & W. Railway, to the "proof of injury," to going to Roachdale and getting the letter ad dressed to Dowdell, and to the forging of Dowdell's name on the back of the check. He also confessed to an agent of the com Iany that he had secured money from the company in a like manner several times before. HEALTH CONDITIONS. Dr. llurty Returns from Lnfuyette Tuberculosis Hospital. Dr. J. N. Hurty, secretary of the State Board of Health, was at Lafayette yester day morning to investigate smallpox cases among the students of Purdue University. He found there was no increase of the disease and prompt action had stopped an epidemic. The college authorities have been active, he said, in taking precautions against the disease. Secretary Hurty said there was not the slightest probability of the college being closed. Secretary Hurty is now at work on hia annual report to be made to Governor Dur bin. He said yesterday that he will make the same recommendations os last year and will again urge the establishment of a state Institution for the treatment of con sumptives. He said tuberculosis was a dread disease in this State, but that it could be treated here as well as anywhere if a hospital were built on sanitary princi ples. He said he receives letters every day from persons In the State who want to know where the best climate can be found for those troubled with tuberculosis, and he invariably answers that Indiana is all right If the patient will live an out-of-door life.

FRIDAY IS CHILDREN'S DAY jiDr.i: sunns will keim close "WATCH ON YOUNGSTERS. Two Ordinances Considered by the Committee, hut Present Law Are Sufficient If Enforced. As the result of a meeting of the Council committee on public safety and comfort yesterday afternoon with Folice Judge Stubbs, Police Superintendent Taffe, Pros ecutor Collins, Chief Truant Officer Perry X. Hiser and the Rev. W. V. Wheeler, su perintendent of the Rescue Mission, new methods of dealing with juvenile offenders of all kinds and sizes were adopted, and will at once be put in force. The committee meeting was held for the purpose of taking action on general ordi nances Nos. 63 and 70, recently introduced by Mr. Negley, chairman of the committee. The first ordinance provides lor taking into custody vagrant and mendicant children, and gives to the authorities a sort of pa ternal supervision of youngsters without proper connections. The other measure was urawn with the Idea of providing a law by which youthful offenders might be sep arated from older and hardened men and women when incarcerated In the police sta tion. judge Stubbs, Prosecutor Collins, Super intendent Taffe, Truant Officer Hiser and Mr. Wheeler are greatly interested in measures tending to better existing means of dealing with boys and girls who sin against the law, and were asked to attend the meeting. During the consideration of the ordinances they volunteered a number of suggestions, several of which Induced the committee to decide against favorable action on one measure and to delay action on the other. THE ORDINANCE KILLED. The ordinance providing for the taking into custody of truant and vagabond chil dren was killed by the committee because discussion indicated it was the general opinion that the Board of Children's Guardians' act and the truancy act passed by the Legislature and the city ordinance against loitering furnished enough law on the question, and the ordinance could be dispensed with If more care were taken by patrolmen in looking up cases and in mak ing exact reports to headquarters. When discussion of the ordinance provid ing against incarceration of children with older persons came up Mr. Hiser suggested to the members of the committee and to Judge Stubbs that the ordinance is not nec essary providing one or two new ideas were put in force by the 'police department and by Judge Stubbs. Mr. Hiser recommended that the cases of all juvenile offenders who are arrested during one week be continued until some afternoon toward the close of the week, when their cases could all be heard at the same time. In that manner children could be tried separately from older and more hardened criminals. . Mr. Hiser declared that the moral effect of such a course would be great. Judge Stubbs agreed with Mr. Hiser as to the value of the Idea, and remarked that he would put it In force at once. He set Fri day afternoon as the time each week when he would consider juvenile cases exclusive ly. The purpose of the judge's action is to give him more time to examine the cir cumstances affecting each case and to al low him to confer in each case, if possible, with the parents of the children. The com mittee expressed its approval of the idea, MR. HISER'S SUGGESTION. Another suggestion made by Mr. Hiser governed the committee in its decision to set aside the ordinance, temporarily, at least. The truant officer suggested to Su perintendent Taffe that he instruct his pa trolmen to report to him all the children who may be found on the street during school hours or at an unseasonable hour at night. Through the superintendent Mr. Hiser, as chief truant officer, would then be In a position to investigate each case and see if the child in question could be got into school or kept off the street with out having it arrested and subjected to the ignominy and danger of arrest and incar ceration in a station hfuse. Prosecutor Collins warmly commended the plans out lined by Mr. Hiser, and declared they would go far toward solving one of the most difficult problems with which the po lice department and school authorities have to deal. The Rev. Mr. Wheeler, who made several suggestions to the committee dur ing the meeting, spoke in favor of the adoption of Mr. Hlser's suggestions, and believed they would prove more effective than the passing of the two ordinances, as fir3t suggested. Superintendent Taffe ex pressed the same views and promised the active co-operation of the police depart ment in carrying out the reform. The members of the committee came to the conclusion that the suggestions were more valuable than the proposed ordi nances, and. setting aside both of them, recommended to the Judge and the police superintendent that Mr. Hlser's ideas be executed in detail. REMONSTRANCE SHRINKS. Brewery People Make Gains In the Schäfer License Case. The temperance people were heavy losers in the liquor license remonstrance hear ing before the County Commissioners yes terday, more than 100 names being stricken from their petition. The day was spent in going over the remonstrance and mark ing off names that had been repeated. The attorneys agreed that they would discon tinue the use of witneses to decide what names had been repeated, and they started over the long list of names. The attorneys for the temperance element admitted that some of the names had been repeated and these were stricken off by agreement. The list will likely be finished to-day and Friday the hearing of testimony will again begin. So far the saloon ele ment has succeeded in having about ISO names marked off. At the present rate it appears that the temperance people will lese and the attorneys lor the brewery in terests say they feel confident that they will reduce the number of signatures be low a majority of the voters of the Fourth ward.

PART OF TRAIN DERAILED. Accident to n Uig Four Passenger Train In the Early Morning:. The early morning train on the Big Four from Chicago was delayed In reaching the Union Station yesterday morning by being wrecked between Ohio and Market streets. A switch rod broke when the engine struck the switch. The engine and express car passed safely over, but the next car was thrown from the track r nd carried with it the three following coaches. The derailed cars collided with some box cars on a sid ing and caused passengers to be severely shaken up, but none was injured. The fact that no further damage was done was due to the slow speed at which the train, al though behind time, was running. The track was badly torn up and several hours' work was necessary to put it in order. The track parallels the canal, and had the train gone off on the other side the cars would no doubt have gone into the canal.
