City Treasurer Adams. He has been
Wormed that after July 1, the city la

propose to reduce the Interest on time
deposits from 4 to S per cent and
Adams believes that the city should

to- understand," said Adams today.
Tho banks contend that they have to

its unsecured. As a matter of fact the
bank profit on the municipal bonds."

AVERS IRISH LEADER
John Redmond Says Dublin
Outbreak Was Planned to
Wreck Irish Party, Hopes,
New Tork, May 9. The following
cablegram has been received by Dr.
J. G. Coyle, editor of Ireland, from tha
Irish leader. John E. Redmond:
By John E. Redmond.
The attempt to torpedo home rule
and the Irish party has failed. Dam
age has been done, life has been lost.
but the ship has not been sunk. The
whole thing has been organized by
those in Ireland and In America who
have always been the open and irre
concilable enemies of home rule and of
the Irish party. Though the hand of
Germany was in the whole thing. It
was not so much sympathy for Ger
many as hatred of home rule and of
us which was at the bottom of the
movement. It was even more an at
tempt to hit us than to hit England.
The whole disgraceful plot is viewed
with execration by the Irish people.
It was almost entirely a Dublin move
ment; partly the creation of the Sinn
Fein Cranks and German agents there,
partly of the remnants of that mam
or discontent and anarchv which was
left by the disastrous Larkenlte strike
In a few small towns there were at
tempts at disturbance, which were
easily suppressed, but Ireland as a
whole has remained perfectly tranquil,
I am happy to be able to state that
even In its desire to play into the
hands of the enemies of home rule in
England the movement has been Just
as great a failure aa in Ireland, for
the public and the press in England
have remained quits calm, have ap
praised the value and understood the
purpose of the rebels, and no attempt
has been made in any quarter to make
capital out of It to damage the cause
of home rule.
I am convinced that many old oppo
nents or nome rule will be profoundly
impressed by these events and will
come to the same conclusions as Irish
Nationalists reached so long ago, that
xne one security ror good order as well
