Senator Cooper Says the Repub

Backward
ON THE LIQUOR QUESTION,
Jlr. Shiras Give3 Tip All Thoughts of the
White Impeachment.
BROOKS WILL TOIE NO ON PROHIBITION.
The Author of the High License BUI Thinks

Party la Bound to Accomplish the Work
Liquor Legislation to Largely Occupy
, the Attention of the Next Legislature
Party Caucuses Held and Revenue Com
mtssloncrs Selected.
Senator Cooper, ex-Chairman ot the Ke
poblican State Committee, says the Repub
lican party cannot turn backward, but,
having tackled the liquor question, it must
inarch forward to its conclusion. He says
the end must be that only hotels shall have
liquor licenses. Mr. Brooks, of the liquor
law bearing his name, says he will vote
openly against the prohibitory amendment.
He is satisfied that the high license law is
practical prohibition, if rightly interpreted.
Mh Shiras has given up all hopes of getting
his Judge "White impeachment resolution
before the House.
tFKOM A STAFF COEEESFOXDE1TT.I
Hahmsbueg, May 7. Mr. Cooper's sup
plement to the Brooks' high license law is
again before the Senate, with two more
amendments, and to-morrow will be voted
upon finally by that body. It is not likely
it will pass. Mr. Cooper is not claiming a
victory for it. He-admits the vote will be
close, and that even should it pass the Sen
ate it is likely to die conference" commit
tee, as there is no time remaining to make a
fight of any size. "Do you think," he
was asked by The Dispatch correspond
ent, "that license legislation will have a
prominent place in the next Legislature?"
"It will, beyond a doubt," "was his reply.
"It is quite likely to have the most prom
inent place. I think it will be he leading
uestion, should the prohibition amendment
lot be carried."
Cnn Take No Steps Backward.
' "Are there other restrictions you would
"Jfuggest beside those vou have incorporated
fn"the measure you are now advocating?"
"The Republican party," said Mr. Cooper,
"must go ahead on the liquor question. I
think the policy of the future will be against
the saloon the mere drinking place. Hotels
and restaurants, where people are accom
modated with lodging and food, should be
the only places to have licenses to sell liquor.
Places that making the selling of liquor
their prominent feature will be wiped out."
"And how about the license fees will
they be raised?"
"I am yet in favor of that feature of the
bill I introduced early in the session, which
doubled the license fees."
Its Opponents Admit Its Good Points.
"The Philadelphia Law and Order dele
gation which came here," continued Senator
Cooper, "to oppose reconsideration of my
bill, admitted in conversation with me that
it is a good measure. That feature of it
which absolutely 'forbids the participation
of children in the purchase or sale of liquor
they especially like. No law has ever for
bidden it, and it is something that should
be stopped. It is not necessary to explain
the reason why. That will immediately
present itself. The only argument they use
against my bill is that it is unwise to have
any license legislation now, on the eve of
the prohibition election. They think it
would impress some people as an exhibition
of bad -faith."
Mr. Brooks is opposed to Mr. Cooper's
bill on just these grounds. He was also
asked whether, in the event of the defeat of
prohibition, license legislation would be a
feature of the next Legislature.
The Republicans Most Move Forward.
"1 don't like to say that," he replied.' "I
don't want to say or do anything, one way
or the other, that will influence the June
vote. I can say this, though, that if the
prohibition amendment is not carried, the
Republican convention to nominate a State
Treasurer will meet early this fall and will
deal with the subject The Republican
party isn't moving backward in this mat
ter." A friend of Mr. Brooks quotes him thus:
"On the morning of the election I will go to
the voting place, walk right up to the man
who has the negative ballots, get one with a
'Ho on it, hand it in and go right away."
Mr. Brooks was asked by The Dispatch
correspondent whether in his opinion his
high license law gave Judges the authority
to be so radical as Judge White, of Alle
gheny, seemed to be. "It certainly does,"
he replied, "and the Supreme Court says so.
They can go even further, and
Grant No Licenses at All,
if they think them unnecessary. Don't
you remember that in Huntingdon cssnty
the Presiding Judge, said licenses wejj?nec
essary and the two Associate Judges over
ruled him and said they were not? The
Presiding Judge told them they were fools,
and they replied that perhaps they were,
but they would let the Supreme Court de
cide that point. The result was that the
Supreme Court said they were all right, and
refused to reverse their decision."
Hon. George Shiras was asked to-day
whether he intended to push his resolutions
against Judge "White. 'What is the use?"
be replied. "They have half a dozen peo
ple here ready to object, and I can't get the
resolutions before -the House now without
unanimous consent."
Mr. Cooper's latest amendments to his
supplement to the high license hill re that :
one of the 'bondsmen of the applicant for'
license may be a surety company, and' that
jetties jOr counties shall be responsible for
constables' fees. - ' . Simpson.

THE BEVENUE COMMISSION
Party Caucuses at Which Members Are
Chosen Democrats Select Mr. Wherry
and Republicans Chooso Mr. Tag-

ITBOM A BTAIT CORRESrOXDET.l
Haheisbueo, May 7. The Eepublican
and Democratic caucuses of the House met
this morning, and, after choosing candidates
for the commission to count the vote for
State Treasurer, after the fall election, also
named candidates for places on the new
Revenue Commission. The Republicans
had conceded to the Democrats the right to
name the taxation expert, and the Demo
crats selected Hon. S. M. "Wherry, of Cum
berland, who was a member of the last com
mission, but who is betiter known in the
present Legislature in connection with his
gallant though futile attempt to have the
House pass an anti-discrimination bill, and
for his effort to have the Legislature Teform
the plan of management of the sinking
fund.
.Mr. Wherry says the original plan was to
select Mr. Smgerlv, of the Philadelphia
Becord, for this place, but repeated tele
grams to him on the Subject remained un
answered. A Granger Gets tbe Plum.
The Republican caucus had to choose be
tween Representative Taggart, the grander
member from Montgomery county, and Cal
vin "Wells, of Pittsburg, as the representa
tive of the manufacturing industries of the
State. Mr. Taggart, according to a proa
inent Republican, had gone carefully
through the House yesterday, in his own in
terest He had 37 votes this morning,
against 20 for Mr.Wells. Mr. Taggart is not
a manufacturer. He is a farmer and a prom
inent member of the State Grange. He is
best known in connection with his fight for
tbe dressed beef bill and for House bill No.
10, and better known as the granger tax '
bill, which latter passed the House and was
delayed in the Senate Finance Committee
so long that it was useless to try to do any
thing with it
Mr. Taggart thinks that ifit had been re
ported .to toe Senate in time it could have
been placed on the calendar.thoush Senator
Brown, of York, failed in an attempt to do
this when he tried.
Why Tagffart Was a Candidate.
Mr. Taggart says he wouldn't have been a
candidate had Speaker Boyer consented to
lake a place on the commission, but when
he refused, Mr. Taggart thought himself
entitled to a place in tbe gift of the House,
and especially so as it was virtually settled
that Worthy Master Rhone would repre
sent the State Grange, which is given the
right to name one commissioner.
The facts urged by Mr. Taggart for his
right to the place are his services in behalf
of the grander tax bill, which Senator Dela
mater and Chairman Andrews had. he said,
promised him should be passed as a salve
for the wounds cansed by the defeat of the
beef bill. Mr. Taggart had made a study of
the subject of taxation, and is well qualified
for a place on the commission, though a
manufacturer would undoubtedly be much
more acceptable to manufacturers.
A Tax Expert One of the Chosen.
The Senate has elected John A. Wright
of Philadelphia, a lax expert, to a place on
the commission as such. The Democrats
cast their vote's for Senator Belts. As the
Governor has not yet signed the resolution,
the House has as yet proceeded no farther
than the caucuses.
Auditor General McCamant, who to-day
commenced his term ot office for which he
was elected, does not think the commission
will amount to much so far as practical re
sults are concerned. Me. thinks it impossi
ble for the conflicting interests, it .will con
tain to harmonize on a, basis for 'taxation.
They will, in his opinion, pull apart rather
than together.
A COMPfiOMISB EFFECTED.
The Allegheny County Oil Ganger Will Con

ffFZCIAL TXLEGKAH TO THE DISPATCH.!
Haeeisbueg, May 7. A compromise
was effected to-day by which the Pittsburg
ganger bill is permitted to fail. The test

dropped, and the ganger will only gauge
and collect fees on oil refined and sold with

the refiners were represented by D. P.
Reighard, S. M. Willock and E. S. Craig,
attorney. On the other side were William
Plinn, V. Stevens, the interested ganger,
whose office the refiners sought to abolish;
J. O. Brown, Chief of the Department of
Public Safety, and his attorney, Charles
McKee. Mr. Brown merely agreed to use
his influence to have the City Councils
agree to the terms of the compromise.
The bill had passed the House, and was
on third reading in the Senate. Each side
at this stage was afraid to test the strengthl
ot me omer. xne tnree Allegheny Senators
here were against the bill, and Senator
Delamater, who was for it, wasn't sure he
could carry it
The Pittsburg street bill has passed the

A WAR m PIG IEOJE
One , Leading Northern Company
Slashes Prices in Order to f
MEET SOUTHERN COMPETITION.'
The Beginning of a Fierce Contest Between
the Sections.
SMALL FURNACES WILL BE FORCED OUT
A Bale of Eteel Bails Hade at a,;Wee far Below tho
Baling Flssns.
The Thomas .Clarke Iron Company has re
dnced prices on pig Iron to the lowest figure
ever known. This is announced as an effort
to keep out Southern competition. Atlanta
iron men assert that they will be able to
hold their own, and even go still lower.
The price of steel rails also seems to be af
fected by the situation.
ISPECXli TXXXOBAU TO TBS DISFATCII.l
New x"obk, May 7. The reduction of
the price of pig iron by the Thomas Iron
Company made a great sensation in metal
circles in this city, though it was not en
tirely unexpected. It seems that the com
pany reduced the price to the basis of $16 60
for No. 1 and $15 50-for No. 2 to consumers
in this city during this month and June,
while the prices quoted yesterday, $17 for
No. 1 and $16 for No. 2, is for iron at points
further,away from the furnaces and for de -
lltrflrw Httviw flio van
livery during the year.
This is the lowest regular trade price ever
know for pig iron in this country. The
general impression In this city is that it
will cause a quite extensive blowing put of
furnaces, as there are many which cannot
make a profit at these figures. It is be
lieved that the older Lehigh furnaces, which
have advantages in ore, can make iron and
deliver it at tide at an average cost of $13 75
per ton for the three grades. Some of the
smaller furnaces cannot lay down iron at
tide for less than $16 per ton.
x southern men excited.
The agents of ihe Southern iron in this
city are greatly excited over the action of
President .Clarke. They say they can com
pete in Northern markets at the reduction
and will do so. There is some foolish talk
of making a war, but it costs so much
money to run a non-paying iron furnace that
this is not likely, as the Southern concerns
are, known to nave little or no capital to
waste.
Agents of Northern iron companies say,
allowing for only small, profit at the mills,
Southern iron cannot be laid down on the
wharves at Northern cities at less than the
Thomas Company's prices. The production
of the Southern furnaces is estimated at nearly
2,800 tons of pig iron 'per day, and the con
sumption in the South at 2,200 per day.
The action of the Southern iron makers will
be awaited with a good deal of anxiety, but
it may not be fully developed for several
president B. G. Clarke, of the Thomas
Iron Company, was a very busy man to-day.
The notice of a reduotion in the price of
iron by his company .was widely circulated;'
and -a number f customers and others called.
on him lor information: sir. uiar&e. was
very frank with everybody.
WHY IT WAS BONE.
"The reduction in the price of iron'te
said, "was made because we found that
otner people were taking Our trade. The
Southern furnaces and others have been
going to onr customers and cutting prices.
"We found that this made some impression,
and we- made a move to preserve our trade.
That is all there is about it"
"What effect will this have on the iron
trade generally?"
"It will decide the question whether we
can make and sell iron in our own territory
as cheaply as anybody. This move is the
first step in a contest between Northern and
Southern irons, and it will have to be
fought out "We propose to retain our trade
until we can make no profit in making iron,
and if that time ever comes we will sur
render, but not until then."
"Will the reduction increase the demand
for iron?"
"The demand for iron is very large now.
and the consumption is enormous. We are
not anxious to sell iron, and we are making
no special effort to do so."
"What can the South do in the way of
further competition?"
"I don't think they can sell below these
prices."
"How about the future of trade?"
"I think the present prices are the lowest
we shall see. They, are certainly the lowest
prices ever known for pig iron of reputable
brand in this country unless at a forced
sale."
MB. CLABKE'S HOPES.
Mr. Clarke expressed himself as hopeful'
that after a short time the trade would pick
up, especially if the production of iron is
lessened. The competition among the
makers of steel rails is sharper than ever.
It is reported tbat a sale was made to-day ou
the basis of $24 70 per ton. This is $1 15
below the lowest pries ever made in this
country before.
A dispatch from Atlanta says: The cut
made in the price of iron by the Northern
dealers in no way disconcerts those inter
ested in the iron business in this section.
The price of Southern pig iron, while below
that of Pennsylvania, is by no means the
lowest figure that can be given. The iron
business is in its infancy here, the methods
or work are crude, the labor costly because
inexpert, the business is loaded down by
inexperienced managers and handicapped
by many outside expenses. It is under this
condition of things that Southern iron has
put the Northern product on the run.
Experience is taking the place of ignor
ance, the labor is becoming more expert,
and, therefore, the production, per capita
will be so much greater and useless ex
penses are being lapped off. In this way
the price of iron may be materially reduced
without destroying a profit. Such are tbe
views as collected from ihose here who are
engaged in the iron interest
SOMETHING OF. A SUBPBISE.
A. dispatch from Birmingham, Ala., says:
"The cut 'in pig iron made by. the Thomas
Company was a surprise to Southern iron
men," said a prominent .manufacturer to
night "We have been looking forward to
at least a slight advance in price, and were
unprepared for a further decline. Southern
furnaces have been kept in blast fill
ing contracts aud stocking up. Some
of the Birmingham furnaces have
been selling iron right along, perhaps
without loss, bnt certainly not mak
ing any money to speak of. Some
of tbe furnaces in this district, I believe, can
meet the reduction and still have a small
margin, but a very small margin. Profiting
bv the experience of the past we may be able
to make iron cheaper in future than we are
making it now, out no Southern furnaces
now in blast-will make much money at pres
ent prices unless we get bettefTreight rates."
"Will the reduction cause any oftthe
Birmingham furnaces to go out of blast?" ,
"I think not We may get better freight
rates soon. Anyway ho turnace in this
district is to go out of blast, so far as I
know. It may be that theeduction will be
promptly met and we may go them one
lower, but jt.will be our policy to maintain
prices if possible."
A-disnatch from Chattanootra.-savs:' The
out made by an Ohio furaace on account of
the'low. priees of SouthernTrdnt-h'aaVas 'yet
made no sensation among fumacemenin
this region, and. in the opinion of the best
posted experts will not So far 'there has
been no corresponding reduction to meet
ii StUl, new furnaces are going into blast
-almost daily, and the cost of making pig
iron her'eabo'ut is very small comparatively,
as iron, coal and limestone are found almost
in the same ledge. Unskilled labor ,is
cheap, and strikes almost unknown. South
ern iron men claim that the advantage Is
J-.with them, and thatthey may-carry the war
on prices stlfl farther, as their marKe-. must
be for the greater part in the North.
CHARGES OF MUBDEB.
tThat Is lbs Allegation Bronsbt Against An
other Chicago Charitable Institution
Patients Sold to Have Been Virtually
Killed by the Attendants.
v Chicago, May 7. A number of ladies
interested in the Home for the Incurables to
iay. applied -to the courts for the appoint
ment of a receiver. The bill says:
That the matron of said home Is one Caro-.
lino Barlow, whn is a nersnn tthnllv unfit and
rjmpropertofill said position; that charges of
uuuroDer conauct, uisnonesc practices, ot vio

to patients have been repeatedly made against

conduct of the matron, but though manrfthlngs
were stated and proved which should have pro
cured the removal of said Caroline Barlow, a
Part of tha Expp.ntfvn Committee and Presi-
L dent of the institution kept the matron in ber
position contrary to ana in violation ox every
interest of the institution.
It is further asserted that Madam Barlow,
though knowing nothing of medicine, under
took to treat the patients; that the patients
at the poor house received better treatment;
that the incnrables were fed indiscriminately;
that their treatment depended on the ''likes
and dislikes of Caroline Barlow;" that the

condition of-aflairs was shocking in tbe ex-
from tbe medical staff of the institution, and
that a majority of the Executive Committee
uiu likewise.
The most startling charge in the bill is
one where it says that a patient, James
Bo t top, was virtually murdered. at the home
"by the attendants and nurses of the home
with tbe knowledge and consent of Caroline
Barlow," and that "Caroline Barlow con
spired with the attendants to cover up said
case and obliterate the manner of the death
of Botten, putting it on the false ground of
accidental injury." Another case cited is
tbat of Annie Gustfeusen, a con
sumptive. It is said that Mrs. Bar-.

A SOLDIER'S LINE OF DUTY.
It Is Decided to Bo Wbcn No Rule or Regu
lation Is Violated.
Washington, May 7. Assistant Secre
tary Bussey to-day rendered an important
decision in the pension case of Mary E.
McNeil, widow of Alexander McNeil, late
private, in Company D, One Hundred and
Nineteenth Illinois Volunteers. The case
involves the important, question of "line" of
duty," aud Assistant Secretary Bussey's in
terpretation of the law with respect to it is
even broader and more liberal than in. the
Ammerman case. The former decision is
reversed and the Commissioner, of Pensions
is directed to place the name of the widow
on the pension rolls. '
In speaking of this" decision Assistant
Secretary Bussey said to-day that he was of
the settled opinion that a soldier is in-line
of duty, within the meaning .of the pension
laws, when he is not engaged in violating
any order, army rule' or regulation, or. vio
lating any instruction of his superior officer
for the police regulation of the camp.

Washington, .May 7. Senator. Quay
did not get leave of absence this, morning,
as he expected, to depart for Philadelphia,
there meet Mrs. Quay, and go on to Long
Branch, as was the programme. The office
seekers brought a pressure to bear upon him
which he could not resist To quote the
words of one of them: "I told Qnay that he
would be turned down, and we Would all be
turned down, if he didn't stay here and at
tend to his and our business. It's all well
enough for him to go to the seashore, but
while he goes there we go into the soup.
He lost that place for Gilkeson by going
away, and the only sure thing is to stay on
the ground and watch the fellows who have
the appointing power. I tell you, you can't
trust them out of your sight"
Senator Quay called at the Department
of Justice to-day, and had another confer
ence with the Attorney General in regard
to the appointment ofGilkeson to the Flori
da District Judgeship, and also about the
Marsbalships and Attorneyships for Penn
sylvania. Ha and Colonel Bayne also had
a long conference with Postmaster General
Wanamaker. The net result, of that con
ference is locked in the bosom of the par
ticipants, but there is a broad hint In cir
culation that all differences were healed,
and that Quay's candidates for postmaster
ships, with the exception of Philadelphia,
will soon be given their reward for loyalty
and good service.
It is believed that Field will very soon be
appointed postmasterfor Philadelphia, and
that at about the same time McKean and

A Little Dispute.
rftlOAl, TXUOBAUTO TBX DISPATCH.
New Yobx:,, May 7. Chauncey M. De
pew told the Inter-State Commerce Commit
tee of Senators at the' Fifth Avenue Hotel
to-day that he had given a good deal oft at
tention ia the extension of Canadian rail
road lines into the United States, and that
.he did not favor such extension. At the
same lime he did not favor such a rad
ical measure as cutting them out entirely.
.He said:,
- They are now practically In a positionto dic
tate' to American roads, not Deing subject to
the restrictions of tbe inter-State commerce
law. The Chicago rate governs our whole
traffic, but they can fix'wbat Chicago tate they
please, and recoup by raising rates on their
local business. We must meet their Chicago
rate and onr local rates nnder the law must go
down in proportion instead of going pp. Tbey
have limitless opportunities to undercut us.
They can take freight by steamer and so avoid
the jurisdiction of theommission entirely. It
is only as a matter of policy tbat they keep up
any rates at alii There is no remedy except to
repeal thaJnter-State commerce law or to ap
ply ft to Canadian roads. We don't want tbo
law repealed. I should consider it a crime to
repeal the law. If the Canadian roads were ex
tinguished absolutely it wonld increase tha
cost of transportation in the United States.
General Manager Joseph Hickson, of the
Grand Trunk line, told the committee that
"we consider that all our business carried
from the'TTnited States through Canada into
the United States, or out of the United
States, .into Canada, or out of Canada into
the United- States, is subject to the regula
tions of the inter-State Commission. We
publish our rates as required, and abide by
them absolutely. Our through rates are
fixed with the idea of making a profit on
them; We do not recoup on local traffic,
and we hare not raised local rates cotem
poraneously with or on account of our con
forming with the inter-State law."
Mr. -Felton could not explain the Grand
Trunk's sudden increase in business out of
Chicago. He did not think terminal
facilities accounted for it. He had never
before known such an increase in business
to any road without there being rebates or
some other crookedness as to rates to account
font As to the export business he in
clined to the theory tbat there was some
sort of an' arrangement with the steamship
lines by which it is guaranteed from loss
and makes whatever ocean rate is necessary
to get the business.
Charles Francis Adams will be examined
by the committee to-morrow.
ROBBERS WITH WINCHESTERS.
They Hold Up a Posloffice and Fight for
Their Booty.
Colorado Springs, May 7. Last night
about 8 o'clock Frank Costello, postmaster
-and storekeeper of that town, with' his
two clerks, was getting ready
to close the office, when three
men entered and covered the occupants with
guns', arid sAWtbej. wanted money. One of
the Jilerks -named Pfitnam began to parley
with- the robbers;' when he was severely
clubbed. Postmaster Costello seeing the
robbers had the drop on him, handed over
(200 in Government money and (200 of his
private funds.
All the time the money was being counted
tbe robbers kept the men-covered with their
Winchesters. Alarm was at once given and
a party started in pursuit The robbers
were overtaken a short distance from the
town and a fight ensued, in which one of the
pursuing party, William Brady, was shot
and probably fatally wounded. The robbers
succeeded in getting away and reached the
mountains.

Mr. Parnell hits made a lucid explanation .
of his testimony, the other day, in which ha
was made to say that he had made falsa
statements in Parliament He positively"
denies even acquaintance with the majority
of the members of the physical force party.
Patrick Ford is accused of garbling his
speeches while in America. The National
Liberal Club has decided to support Glad
stone unitedly, and Mr. Parnell has beea
elected a member.
LondoS", May 7. The Parnell Commis
sion resumed its sitting to-day. Mr. Par
nell, upon taking the stand, said he desired
to correct that part of his evidence given 6a
Friday in relation to the statement
made by him in the House of Commons'
concerning the non-existence of secret so
cieties in Ireland.
Upon referring to the Hansard reports of
the proceedings of the House ot Commons
he found that his remarks, which had been
quoted by Attorney General Webster, re
ferred particularly to ribbonism, and
not to secret conspiracies generally. His
remarks therefore were a fairly accurate
statement of tbe facts, as ribbonism at that
time practically did not exist in Ireland.
soiie plain statements.
The cross-examination of the witness was
then resumed. Mr. Parnell said he had not.
heard of 100 guineas being paid for the de
fense of moonlighters at the Cork assizes id
1881. If he had been asked to make such
payments he should in those days have ap- .
proved of them if he had reason to believa
the law was being strained against a man,
but his general rule was to limit such pay
ments as much as possible.
He remembered one case in which he had
sanctioned the payment of money for the
defense of a prisoner and the man was ac
quitted. In another case he reimbursed
Mr. Harris, who had made himself responsi
ble for the costs of the defense, but at tho
same time witness instructed Mr. Harris
not to undertake in tbe future the defense
of accused moonlighters. Mr. Parnell said
that he some times paid money from -his
own private account in oenali ot tne .League.
He did not object to an inspection of his ac
counts. Attorney General Webster here began a
protracted examination of the' witness as to
his banking transactions, but failed to
elicit anything of note.
DOES NOT EVEN KNOW THEM. '
Being further catechized upon his knowl
edge of General Millen and other members
of the physical force party, Parnell declared
that a majority of the members of that party
were utter -strangers to him. He had never
heard that Mr., Ezaa.jiad joined tbeClan-Na-Gael.
He would regrettO-findTthatMriaa.
Ecran had rejoined the physical force party,
but he should not think such a course un
natural. Referring to his speeches made in Amer
ica, as published in the Irish World, witness
said he could not accept the reports as cor
rect Mr. Ford garbled the- speeches ia
order to suit the taste of the readers of the
Irish World. Witness had never made thir
statemenfpublicly before because it was not
necessary.
Recurring to secret societies, Mr. Parnell
said he considered that a person who joined
the League and continued to be a member of
the Clan-Na-Gael acted to the injury of tha
League policy. Any members of tbe League
who would advocate the use of dynamite;
would be a traitor.
