London, April 26. The Conference of

marked that If alt the workers of the
country had acted upon auch a,resolutlon

III Letter o Jeneller.
The first count of the Indictment was
based on a letter which Knrlcht sent on
December 9. 1801, to V. A. Uustavson, a
jeweller, of Jollet, III. After describing
the virtues of this real estate, tho letter
said :
"We tire sorry to ay that we have
none of the 62 acre tracts left, as tho
applications have largely exceeded the
number we Intend to give away. Tho
other tracta will all be gone In a few
days. But we have reserved for you
three 125 ncre tracts till Monday, Longer
e cannot, and If you delay you will
have to take your chances on getting tho
same. We had no Idea that this would
he taken up us fast as that.
"Very truly yours,
"Tub U. S. Land Stnoicatk,
"I'cr L. Knrlcht, Mgr."
In another letter, mwitloncd ln the
second count ofthe Indictment, which
was not prcmed, Knrlcht was accused of
rendlne a circular letter lo August W.
ihM.r. nil U.i!rr",-K,on' , m; ""'"'"'"R!
that he had given away land In Kentucky
. i-iiiiccivr pu unit ll nvuiu ue semen
and Improved, to the advantage of the
surrounding tracts. The plan worked so
well, tho letter said, that the U.
S. Land Syndicate had put on the
market on the same plan 17,000 acres In
Montgomery county, Oa.
"We are giving uway sixty-three acre
tracts to those we think will be of bene
fit to us." read the circular. "All we
ak In return Is J3 for tho cost of mak
ing out the deeds, certification, notary's
fees, &c. If your application Is le
Jected your money will be returned to

wan asserted, was derived "by a grant
Issued by the Hon. Patrick Henry, Gov

Otherwise the election was a clean K.veep
for tho regulars.
With ten towns and cities missing the
vole for delegate at large is:

was the light vote cast throughout the
Stiite. The weather was perfect, but not
more than 05,000 Kepublicans rcsjiondcd
to the call of the managers and speakers.
This vote Is about 21 per cent, of that
cast for Gov. McCall last fall.
Mr. Gardner found comfort in the be
lief that If there had been a direct
nomination Koosevelt would have car
lied the State. He made the following
statement to-uiqlit:
"It Is u pity that the vote was 0
lig'jt. Still. If the vote- had been heavy
tho unpledged delegates would have been
elected Just the name. They are all dis
tinguished men, while the Koosevelt dele
gates are much less well known. If,
however, the ballot had afforded the
voters an opportunity to vote directly
for the Presidential candidate whom they
preferred I nm convinced that Koosevelt
would have defeated his nearest competi
tor, probably Justice Hughe, by 15,000
votea."

from Consul Letcher at Chihuahua city.
Letchcr'H latest Information comes from 1

sace to local Mexican officials Gen. AI

he would teach Juarez tirnbably on
Thunsday and that the conference with
Gen. Hugh L. Scott will be hel.l In i;i
I'nso as soon ns the two American Gen-
cram can get in mis city.
Tills was Htated definitely by Gen.
Obregou, to whom, it Ih understood, the
matter of a place for the conference
had been left. It Is understood that Gen.
Scott, accompanied by Gen. Funston, will
meet Gen. Uhregon, who probably will
be accompanied by Gen. Guvira, Juarez
commander, and Gen. LuIn Gutierrez,
commander In Chihuahua, ntr the Inter
national bridge and that the conference
will be held either it Fort Hilt., or at
some place In Kl Paso lo be decliled
upon by Gen. Scott.
Mexican officials Intimated to-night
that a jirelttnlnary conference probably
would be held In Juarez.
According to what can lie teamed here,
there Is a, belief among army officers
that the conference here will result In
a declaration for Americans to cease
active hunting for Villa bandits In Mcx-1
Ico, but to remain In Mexico in conceu
trutlon cairuw, their activities confined
to restricted areas, for Hie moral effect
It will have on the bandits.
Plants Would llrsume.
This, It Is stated, would give American
cnpltal confidence In the situation and
would result In the resumption of man?
foreign Industries In Mexico, the own
ers feeling secure In resuming work If
the American troops remain near enough
to guarantee protection. Such Industrial
resumption would assure work for many
thousand Mexican natives now starving.
An effort will be made, It Is said, to
Ipdne. the Carransa Government to per
mit the American forces to ship their
supplies by train. The Americans are to
remain inactive as long ns the Car
ranxlstaa are able to control the bandit
situation and when It Is shown to the
satisfaction of the United State that the
bandits hnve been run down the Amer
ican forces are then to be withdrawn.
Meantime the American troops hold
themselves In readiness to cooperate with
the Carransa troops If'they are asked to
do so.
It Is Intimated that siren plans have
been discussed and that It Is only to get
together on the minor points that the
meeting of (Jens. Obregon anil Scott la to
be held bare.

During the bombardment a Dutch

A mass meeting of Irish Americans tn

Insutrectlon and their condemnation of
the charge of treason against Sir Roger
Casement will bo held here probably on
Sunday.
The decision to call the mass meeting
was reached last night at a meeting of
the directors of the t'ulted Irish Ameri
can Societies, at the office of Jeremiah
A, O'Leary, .IS Park Bow. The call
will be Issued by the following direc
tors, representing all the Irish American
societies! Denis A, Spellssy, Uugeue J,
Flood, Patrick J. Guiiui, John Mulcahy,
Dr. James Merrinian, John Devoy,
Michael F. O'ltourke. Michael Conway
und Mr. O'Leary
While the Immediate object of tho
meeting Is to show tills country and
Kngland that the Irish Americans resent
holly the charge of treason against Sir
Itoger Casement, whom they consider
an Irish patriot rather than a traitor
to Kngland. thc meeting also will be .1
demonstration to give enrouragemcnt to
Irishmen who are fighting for separa
tion from Kngland, Such n meeting,
given official approval by the heads of
all tho Irish American societies, Is ex
pected to have great weight

Mr. O'Leary said last night that a
collection undoubtedly would be taken
up, but denied that the money mould be
used to buy arms or munitions for the
Irish rebels. It might bo used, he said
for the relief of the widows and orphans
of Irishmen killed tn the revolution, Ir
Is expected that the meeting will be
held on Sunday nt somn theatre
Besides arranging for tho mecllne the
directors of the Irish societies Issued the
following statement In defence of Sir
itoger Casement .
"Several metropolitan nenspap is
have referred to Sir Itoger Casement us
a 'traitor' and 'renegade.' We desire
to cult to tho attention of thc American
people that the only crime Sir Itoger
Casement hns committed has been that
he loves his country, even unto death
If nuccssary. He did what Washington
and tho American patriots did and now,
by 110 strange coincidence, their foe Is
his foe.
"The United Slates was created by
revolution. Now that the nation Is 1le.l1
and great, this Is no time to asperse t!u.
motives and conduct of men that are
simply following our noble example,
"We feel confident that the American
people, exclusive of Interested elements,
do not approve of the attempts to he
binlrch the patriotic efforts of sir Itoger
Casement and others to obtain tho lib
erty of Iroland."

sure that Irish Americans had no hand
In, or foreknowledge of them.
Practically every Irishman or Irish
American who has been actively con
cerned in work here for Irish separation
from England disclaimed knowledge of
the origin of the well defined rumors
about town thut Dublin was In revolt,
which rumors circulated on Monday,
many hours before the cable desn.ilehes
telling of Sir Itoger Casement's capture
aim more noura nerore tne news came of
the riots.
Itobert C. Ford, editor of the Irish
Worltt, while sure that Ireland wan In
revolt, said he was afraid there wcie
too many Btltlsh troops to permit of the
revolt being successful. He knew of no
cipher cablegram being received by an
Irishman here announcing the revolt long
before any one el-ie knew of it.
"The revolt Is no surprise to me,"
said .Mr. Ford. "Thete has been discon
tent for some time, and I expected It.
Kery Irishman must rejoice at It."
John Uevny, editor of the. Uaellc
Amrrlcan, would make no statement,
but It was said at his otllce. 16". William

slnte the British Government tried to
disarm the Irish Volunteers, a force of
some 2."i0.000 men.
Cull t'nsrliirn a Washing;!
Denis A. Spellls'y of 250 Broadway,
who has beep active In Irish moements
here, said he did not believe the Dublin
affair had been aided from this country,
and then spoke of Sir Itoger Casement,
whom lie knew vhen Sir Itoger was In
this countr .
"He deserves the approval of eery
loer of freedom." he said "He Is In
the same diss with George Washington.
H he were executed the execution
would be condemned by the cMlized
world."
John D. Crlmmlns took rather a dif
ferent view. "It Is all rut to say that
Sir Itoger Is another Washington." he
said. "I think he' crnzv and trying
to make himself n hero. An Invasion of
Ireland is neither feasible nor reason
able. This Insurrection is most deplor
able." Joseph C. Walsh of iriimf, a Ked
mondlte paper, said that the speeches
at the recent big Irish convention here,
when many prominent Irishmen de
nounced Kngluud at a Carnegie Hall
meeting, had served to Inflame Irish hot
heads and imclpltate the revolt.
