' He aald he 'was In America to obtain Its moral and material support and then added: "At this point I must mak a correction of a report which In one respect I am sure does not represent what I said In a speech In Brooklyn last night. I did not state that President Roosevelt would say some thing on the Irish question which may make possible th realization of our hopes. If I had made any such statement I would have aald something for which I had no warrant. What I did say was that the English masses and the Irish manses both consider lilsn the man who made peace between Russia and Japan and that both regard htm as a friend and that the dny might come when they would welcome hgn as one of the mediators In trying to t end the day or lamentable estrangement j between the Ktigllsh and Irish p-ople." j SHORT SHIFT FOR A NEGRO M'bllv Officers Sleep Mab Takes Their Prlaoner and Hang Him to Telegraph Pole. lkv .t.TC.
