IA SENSATIONAL CHARGE MADE
AGAINST LORD ASHTOWN.
Secretary for Ireland, Mr. Birrell, Pro-
mises to Investigate Into the Truth
of the Suggestion—Lord Ashtown
Has Been Very Active of Late in His
Opposition to the tattle Boycott,
London, Aug. 28.—In the House of
Commove this afternoon Arlen uncur
.hers made the sensational suggestion
(that Lord Ashtown blew up his own
louse for political purposes.
Jeremiah MncVoagh, Nationaliet
+memix+r from Down, asked Mr. Mr-
)1'611,
irike11, Secretary for Ireland, whether it
l was intended to hold a special inquiry
lin view of the fact that "it had a1.
ready been proved" that' the alleged out-
Irago was the work of residents of Lord
.Asktown's bouse.
Mr. Birrell replied that the most care-
ful investigations were being mode, but,
I that at present there were no proof that
iresidente of the house were guilty.
Patrick O'Brien, Nationalist from
Kilkenny, thereupon declared that it
'was believed in the District of Drumbo
that Lord Ashtown himself was re-
sponsible for the explosion, and he
aaked Mr. Birrell to cause inquiries to
be made with the possibility of Ash -
town himself committing the alleged
outrage in order to give a filip to his
infamous business of defaming Ire-
land by circulating fictitious tales of
outrages.
Early on the morning of August 12th
a bomb that had been placed on the
windowsill in the room in which Lord
Ashtown was asleep in his house,
Glenahira Lodge, near Clonmel, ex-
ploded, shattering one side of the house
and part of the interior, Lord Ashtown
making his escape from its room just
in time to escape the fall of a mass et
debris. He had arrived at the Lodge
from another part of Ireland on the pre-
vious evening.
The bomb consisted of about seven
pounds of blasting powder in an iron
pot, with three lighted fuses attached,

DEAD BY THE ROADSIDE.
The Body of Hugh Matheson Found Near
Bryson.
Ottawa despatch: The dead body of
Hugh Matheson, a farmer living near
Shawville, was Lound lying beside the
road this morning by Thomas Moller,
man while driving home to his farm near I
Bryson. The indications point to the
fact that the deceased met his death by
foul play. An autopsy this afternoon
disclosed the fact that death was caused
by a clot on the brain, apparently induc-
ed by a blow on the head, McTierman
shortly before finding the body met John
Matheson, a brother of the dead man,
somewhat under the influence of liquor,
Its spoke to the man, but received no
answer,
Shortly after he came across the dead
body of Hugh Matheson, It appears that
the two brothers spent the evening
drinking, and late at night set out to-
gether for home. The death may, of
course, have been accidental and caused'
by a. fall. " The authorities are now in-
vestigating what at present looks like a

f
Toronto daesszielri Tho sentiment of
the insurance field wailers of Canada
was evidently voiced by% lion. W. A.
Weir, Minister of Pubhe; Works for the
Province of Quebec, hits principal speaker
at the banquet with which the first con-
vention of the Canadian Life Underwrit-
ers' Association was rounded off last
night, when/he spoke disparagingly' of
the trent restrictive legisiatiot et the
State of New York and declared that
Canada did not look for and would not
have government by yellow newspapers
and panic legislation. At the closing Ses-
sion of the association the outstanding
addresses of an interesting series were
those delivered by Mr. C. W. Pickell, De-
troit; Hon, Jas. Burry, Commissioner of
Insurance in Michigan, and Mr. E. W.
Cox, Vice -President and General Man-
ager of the Canada Life. Air. Pickell
outlined a phut of campaign designed
to educate public opinion in regard to
insurance, and spoke generally with
such effect that he wan enthusiastically
acclaimed as an honorary memher of the
Canadian Asocidtion. Mr. Barry main-
tained'that the remedy for what evils
existed in connection with insurance lay
in full publicity and illr. E. W. Cox in
urging co-operation between companies
and their agents advocated drastic penal-
ties for rebating.
An interesting plan of campaign for
the education of the public mind in
regard to insurance matters was sug-
gested by Mr. C. H. Pickell, Detroit, in
a paper on "The Magic Key." lie dwelt
on the value of an enlightened public
conseience an insistent and persistent
function expressed in honesty, purity
and square dealing, They had nothing
t; conceal; their business per se was
above criticism.
He suggested the appointment of a
joint commission from the States and
Canada by the two Executive Commit-
tees, consisting of seven members, whose
duty it should be to have the import-
ant matter of promulgation in charge.
A part of their work would be the pre-
paration of a text, book for introduc-
tion in public sehools, a further at-
tempt to establish chairs of Maumee
in more of their colleges and unlvensities,
the preparation of topical pamphlets for
general distribution and of a series of ar-
ticles attractively written, for newspap-
ers, monthly journals and magazines, the
securing of a place on the programme at
summer schools and assemblies for a cap-
able and entertaining lecturer on matters
pertaining to their business, an attempt
to get a sermon or two each year from
the pulpits on the economic and benefi-
cent value of gua'attal indemnity, and
the publication of an organ by the com-
mission suitably edited and sent out
through proper channels to the public.

Advantages of Co-operation.
111';7 W. air addressed the conven-
tion on "Organized Co-operation,"
Dealing wji u t @,gglnti of the agng,la
to their company, he exxfyurossoa the opin-
ion that the agent was the actual lArroe
of business, rather than the company.
From the viewpoint of the home office,
co-operation meant to his mind, ready
compliance and loyal concurrence in the
rulings of the Executive or other com-
mittees, in other words, obedience°to the
rules of the company framed by its offi-
cers after years of experience and study.
With regard to rebating, while he had
no sympathy with the suggestion of the
Royal Conuniesion, he felt it would be of
advantage to all of their companies if
some decided action were taken In the
matter. His own opinion was that the
company employing u rebater should be
penalized; that the rebater himself
should be penalized, and debarred from
further Insurance work, and, further-
more, he felt very strongly that the
man who accepted a rebate should suffer,
and that his policy should be voided.
One of the most interesting addresses
of the convention was given by Ilan.
James V, Bary, Commisisoner of In.
surance, Michigan, who spoke in terms
of high appreciation of the Canadian
ifisura ce companies' operating in ,flold.
gen, and lauded life insurance as one
of the greatest forces for good known.
He was firmly of the opinion that the
great remedy for whate'v'er ei11s' had
thus far been found in insurance, or
whatever evils might still be discovered,
lay in full and complete publicity rather
than in legislation which sought to con-
trol every detail of company manage-
ment Without publicity restrictive le•
gialation could accomplish little.
Mr. R. H. Haycock, Ottawa, read a
paper on "Associations and How to
Make Them Attractive," Mr, C. P. Car•
rean, Montreal, read a paper in which
he emphasized the services of life in-
surance.

A Successful Banquet.
At the banquet in the evening the
chair was occupied by Mr. 'C. 11, McCon-
key,rathe Honorary President. of thet Can-
adian association, The company num•
bered about 250.
Hot. W. A. Weir, Minister of Public
Werke for the Province of Quebec, inn
giving 'the toast of "Public Opinion,"
pointed out that insurance wits creating
a class of small capitalists, and that the
strongest bulwark the Dominion could
have was just such a class, He con-
gratulated the association on the mar-
vellous progress of insurance during the
past thirty years. in 1875 life insur-
ance in force in Canada belonging to
Canadian companies amounted to $22;
000,000, or 25 per cent. of th, total
anoint of life insurance is ionic
in the country. For 1906 the figures
were eighteen times that amount, being
three hundred and ninety-eight milliote,
or 03 per cent, of the total amount in
force. Dealing with the policy that
should he pursued in regard to insurance,
he pointed to that followed in the ntotlt•
erlan, where the greatest possible free•
dont was allowed to life insurance com-
panies, both as to the form of policy and
the powers of investment, subject to the
one groat restriction—the utmost pub.
licity. (Applause,)
10 spite of the recent rigid investiga-
tion not single stigma of corruption
had been found among the insurance
companies of Canada, (Applause;) In
Canada they did not look for and would
not have Government by yellow news-
papers and panic legislation: (Ap-
plause.) Let them trust to good Cana-
dian ideas, to the manhood of their
citizens and to the wise sten who had
produced such marvellous results in Can.
adian life insurance, and let the repre-
sentatives of insurance met meet the
rept °setae lives of the Dominion Govern -
Mont, and be was confident that the
bast insuronee legislation in the world
would result. (Applause.)
Mr IS E. McMullen proposed "The
National Association and Its Work:" He
explained the objects of that body, and
claimed that it was the pioneer in the
matter of advocating and bringing about
reform legislation.
"Life Insurance and the Press" was a
toast proposed by Mr. J. S. Willison, To-
ronto. He considered that the lesson
for insurance teen was to use the press
rather than to abuse it.
Mr. W. D. Wyman, Chicago, in propoe-
ing "Tire Life Insurance Agent," thought
there had been too much adverse criti•
clew of insurance officers, but that the
situation was not so alarming as Wright
appear. He claimed that there were
fewer defalcations among insurance
agents than among any other eines of
mel,

when several men lounging about a
urine shop began to jeer at hint, made
some insulting remarks, and then pro-
ceeded to follow him.

brutal manner, and who were joined as

min, n, the mob becoming thictcer and
thicker as the Cardinal proceeded on hie
way. Suddenly one of the mob shouted
"Kill him!"
The ery was taken up by others, and
a dash wag made for the Cardinal. The
mob was most brutal. The Cardinal was
beaten, kicked and cursed, while a show-
er of stones fell on his head. Ill as he
wee, the Cardinal fought bravely, but it
was one man against a mob, and he was
soon overpowered.
A man who had witnessed the outrage
and wee shocked by it ran to the police
station and summoned aid, At once

tor, hurried to the scene of the assault,
and beat back the mob from their vic-
tim.

Declares That Edward Hynes Met His.
Death at the Hands of Ryan, But
That the Latter Had Itot Intended.
to Kill.
Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., despatch: The.
live •lig:ti au of the j acv called by Cor-
oner Dr. \leLurd to inquire into the eir-
cinntrances surrounding the death of EM,
ward ]Nines, who was killed during a.
fight hist Thursday night in the 'Windsor
Hotel yard, wits concluded at an early
hoe' this morning, and the verdict is in
part as follows:
"We believe that the deceased was -
physically not in a robust condition at.
the time of Itis death, he having been
unwell for some time previous, and that
the weakened condition of the said
Hynes rendered 111111 unable to sustain
th
punishment which he received from
one. Thomas I pan, AVt are therefore of
the opinion that Edward Hynes' death.
was caused by the shock occasioned by
the blows given hint by Thomas Ryan,
though not given' with murderous intent,.
and we find the said Thomas Ryan gull-
ty otinnnslaughter."
The evidence of the three Mc:tarty
brothers was to the effect that Ryan
struck Hynes when the hitter was taking
off his coat and' knocked him down.
After t few blows had been exchanged
Ryan knocked Hynes prostrate, the lnt-
tr never moving, but Ryan got on top
of ]Lynes, and dealt him three vicious
blots with his fists,
Ryan appeared before Police :\lagis-
trato Elliott some time ago, and was.
