Jut Not One Which Will He a Definite Settlement of the Future of Ireland An other Meeting. London, July 21. Tn compliance with the Klng"H summons, tho eight part' loaders most vitally concerned with a settlement of the homo rnlo deadlock met H Rucklngh.im palnro to-day for the pur pose uf trying to reach an agreement. The King received them with a speejn tvhlch, according tn constitutionalist cus tom, was framed by the pHme minister. In this speech the King pointed nut thi seriousness ot the situation nnd the nar row margin of difference which now ex ists, and expressed the hope of a friendly solution of all dlfllcultles. The eight leaders, some of whom were jot on speaking terms Included John Red mond, tho Irish nationalist leader, and John Dillon, who never before had come Into personal contact with the King. They llscussed the situation for moro than an hour and then adjourned. Tho mero fact that they 'will have an other meeting shows that as far as the principals aro concerned and the prin cipals are, of course, the leaders of the liberal and conservative parties an aKreement Is In stent. Hut agreement by the principals does not portend by any means a definite settlement nf any nchcmi- for the future Government of Ireland. The conservatives have the Ulster covenanters, r "presented In the confer ence by Sir l-.dward Carson and Captain James Craig, to reckon with, and Premier Asqulth cannot deliver any goods with out the consent of the home rule lend ers, Redmond anil Dillon. Moreover, tho labor party, which is an Imnoitnnt frac tion of tbe premier's present majority In the House of Commons, Is In revolt, and there Is a bolting contingent In his own party. Politicians, who are conversant with the Inside wnrknr s. predict that If the con ference tea 1 -s a'l agreement the House f ( oirii'Hii will ' It out. The fact that I' .line minister con ured it n 1 fSH'irv t-, ienrt to such a onfermi c '- balled hv his opponents as rt"-' odd- nn his pait.

'Ir Kdwnnl Carson and John Redmond are nut in the conference as free agents, "li i' retirement tin lr supporters, tho Oram;.' Plstermen and the Catholic na tionalists respectively, and both factions are In nn attitude not only of no sur render but of no compromise. Washington, July 21. The lone con tinued effort to untnngte the New Haven railroad without litigation came to an end to-night when Piesldent Wilson In a letter to Attorney-General Mcnoynolds directed tho Institution nf a Sherman law suit to dissolve the system and or dered that tho "criminal aspects of the case" be' laid before a federal Brand Jury. Tho President's approval of the courso mapped out by the department of Justice means that the civil suit will bo Hied against the Now Haven In the United ' States court at New York at once. The nttornoy-Kcneral also Immediately will direct United States District Attorney Marshall nt New York to summon a grand jury nnd the task nf laying evl- dence before that body on which to ask poennlnc Mellon, "nnd perhaps others flagrantly culpable with tho possible re filt of embarrassing the di-nar'ni.-tit by a claim of Immunity In return for their testimony. In this connection the attorney-general makes the statomontu that criminal prosecutions have been al ways In mind and that there never has Iffy? bicrn tho slightest hope that parties j jrfi guilty of criminal violations, of tho law would escape." It had been nn open secret for weeks that the department hns what It bolleves Is evidence that Mr. Mellen Rave testi mony to tho commission contradicting evidence In tbe nncsesslnn of the nhnr. ncy-gcncral nnd It Is posble tnat If any ' It' claim of Immunity Is raised that It will I be fought on this Issue. Tho letter from the attorney-general to President Hustls made It clear thnt th for criminal Indictments against officer department tnkes the position that the and directors of the New Haven under the Mellen management will bo begun as soon as possible. T. W. Gregory, the special assistant In charge of the New Haven case, will havo full charpe of the civil suit, nnd before the grand Jury will he aided by V. M. Swacker, an expert from the Interstate commerce commission, who has helped him In the preparation of the evidence. How many Indictments will he sought was not divulged to-night, hut It was plainly Indicated that the attorney-general expects to ask for a bill against Charles S. Mellen, former president .of tho New Haven. The most significant fact In connection with the proceedings was said to be a statement which Mr. Mclloynolds gavo out sovernl months ago when tho Inter state commerce commission began Its New Haven Inquiry. In that rtatement the attorney-general warned the commis sion tn consider whether Immunity might be Riven certain men If made tn testify as to their actions as directors of the road. The names mentioned were: Charles S. Mellen, William Rockefeller, George Maculloch Miller, Chorles Krookor Edwin Mllner, Lewis Cass, Ledyard, George F. Baker nnd Edward D. Rnbblns. In addition to directing suit, the Prov ident, In his letter to Mr. Reynolds, de clared that the decision of the New Hn ven dlrertcrs not to keep their agreement to dissolve peacefully had caused hint ' "the deepest surprise and regret," and i that their failure "upon so slight a pre text" was "Inexpllciblo and entirely ! without Justification." The department's course, he said, was just, reasonable nnd ; efficient and should havo resulted In ivnlipng suit. Accompanying the President's letter the department made public correspondence between the attorney-general nnd tin President nnd the attorney-general and President Hustls of the Nejv Haven. One of the most Interesting phases was contained In the attorney-general's letter to President Wilson, In which there Is a decided rebuke for the Interstate com merco commission for Its action In sub- Deprecates King's Speech.

Washington, July 2ft. Momb'-,s of Congress who aro standing vallnntly by the administration in tho elfoit to complete its legislative) program, de spite tho approaching- cnmpalgn, have resigned themselves to the conclusion that there Is littlo hope for adjourn ment before fall. Roth houses already are havlnpr trouble in rallying a quorum for tho transaction of business, but the party whips aro keeping constantly at work bringing numbers who havo left town back to Washington, and they hopo to expedite what business remains. Some senators and representatives are permitted to go homo from tlmo to time to look after their political fences, but tho democratic leaders aim to keep a quorum present nt all times from now on. AKain this week thn chief business of the Senate will bo to press the anti-trust bills, with a Hope of getting a real start In tho gcnurnl debate on the internum trade commission bill nnd to complotc the revision of the Clayton bill nnd tho Rnyhurn securi ties measure In committees so that they may bo submitted tn the Semite. The Clayton bill probably win i,e ready by Tuesday, and Senator New. lands, chairman of tho interstate com merce committee, hopes to havo tho securities bill perfected by the end of the week. At leAst lx weeks ot discussion on theso trust measures is cnnieminnt..rt tn tho Senate, although some republicans insist that it be much longer than thnt Deioro nil can be passed. Thero still remains the possibility that the t)ir bills will be consolidated Into one. If thnt Is done, tho legltlatlvo task may not be so prolonged. One thing that promises to delay the trust program Is tho difficulty which has arisen over tho nominations ot Thomnet D.

The Senate seems "tin to bo deadlocked over tho confirm ation of Mr. Jones, administration cham pions ot tho Chicago man still holding back a votn in an effort to win over soino of their collengues who oppiw,, his confirmation.

We assure you that there is no mistake that we are actually selling summer hats many of which were formerly priced at $10.00 at the price of $1.00 for your choice. The cause of this drastic price-reduction is the necessity for an immediate clearance. We did not take into consideration what the hats cost us or what they were worth. Our only thought was: "What price will sell them at once V Please remember that these hats are in the season's prettiest styles, and that the assortment of them is quite large. There is nothing at all the matter with them. They are charming, becoming and stylish. Only a few short weeks ago, these hats were selling at $2.50 to $i0.00 and worth it, too. 0 f To-morrow we offer your choice of 150 hots at 8 JJ CLARKSON CO days.
