ivhere they observed the location and
construction of the du Pont Powder Com

ASQUITH PUTS DRAFT
ACT BEFORE COMMONS
Continued from race One
Is regarded as the prelude to one of the
most bitter struggles In Parliament In
modern times.
By tho bill, which Is based upon the
lines of hiodltled compulsory .service, the
British Government hopes to ndif l,ono,tXX
conscripts to the English army.
This was a hlstor:,- day In tho life of
rarllajWcnt nnd the intense nntlorirfl n
tetest 'was reflected in the great crowds
which sought admission to the spectators'
gallery before tho hour of convening.
nven with its modifications the bill has
many enemies, who have promised a ir10,v0 worth
niruziK struggle ngainit it in i'nimirfvrrt.
Leaders of tho Labor party and the
Irish Nationalists held conferences be
fore Parliament convened, but so fnr as
known no definite proginm of concerted
action was agreed upon
Tho Cabinet split cnuscd by the mili
tary policy of the Asquith Government
has not been healed, and It was reported
that, the resignation of Home Secretary
Sir John Simon would be followed by
others. The possibility existed that, an
nouncement of further resignations from
tho Ministry might be made In Commons
by the Premier
The chief opponents to conscription
left In. the Cabinet Ii) the withdrawal of
Sir John Simon were Walter Runclmnn,
president of the Ilonnl of Trade, nnd
Reginald McKenna, Chancellor of the
Kxcheaucr.
Although .the bulk of public Interest cen
tred In Commons, the principal aicna of
parliamentary action, there was an over
whelming crowd In the galleries of the
upper chamber, lured there by the possi
bility that Lord Kitchener, the War Sec
retary would make n statement on mil
itary tro millions.
Various groups of organized labor havo
begun adopting resolutions protesting
against compulsory sort Ice. The keenest
opposition seems to rest with the Welsh
coal miners, notwithstanding the fnct that
coal miners probably will be classed as
Indispensable workmen.
Aiming the strongest supporters of con
scription nre certain factions of Unionists.
The Ulster Unionists, at a meeting pre
sided over by tlr Kdward Carson, former
Attorney General, declared the exclusion
of Ireland would bo "an Insult and hu
mlllFtion to the loji anil patriotic population."
PECULIAR TULLORAM.
The telegram, which was sent to Lee,
Is regarded as molt suspicious and most
Importnnt to the secret service men.
It rends

Shortly nfter this telegram was received

from the Wilkinson authorities to appre

ert S Judge arrived a few days later In
Unlontown nnd begnn an Investigation.
While It is now thought thnt Lee and
Hewitt were never engaged in the coke
making business, they were familiar with
it, even to the smnllest details Krom
WUkliiBon they wrote to the officials of
the Covington Mnchlne Company, whose
offices nrp In New York anil manufactur
ing plants In Virginia, asking them to
send nn agent to meet them In Union
town and demonstrate the operation of
their coke-drawing machines In a num

H. C Ricks was sent from Covington to
meet Leo nnd Hewitt Ricks showed them
the coke-drawing machines In the vicinity
of ralrchnnce, and while there, Lee and
Hewitt had an opportunity to observe the
Interior of the powder-making plant irom
a hillside, where the coke works are lo
cated. They were able to do this without
causing nny suspicion. They remained In
Unlontown two days, nnd while there took
a number of automobile rides nnd became
