Denver, Colo., March 15.—The Colorado house of representatives expelled Representative W. W. Howland of Denver on charges of perjury late today. Howland who was arrested Saturday night on information filed by District Attorney John A. Rush, alleging perjury, still was in jail in default of $2,000 bail at the time the membership in the general assembly was terminated. **Solon Accepted Money.** The house adopted unanimously the report of the special committee which investigated charges that Howland accepted a package of money sent to his room at the Standish hotel and voted upon a resolution of expulsion presented by Speaker Pershing. This ended the matter as far as the house was concerned for further investigation, at its request. **Grand Jury Investigates.** The county grand jury continued its inquiry to determine whether indictments should be returned in the case. Howland denied the charges. At the first session of the special committee, Howland testified the package contained $15 in currency, the property of the committee chairman in his case, Representative John F. C. Waterman. Howland's story was confirmed by Waterman at the subsequent hearing. Howland testified the money came from Fort Collins and was a campaign contribution for work in electioneering John S. Fleming, probation officer at Fort Collins. --- # IRISH VOLUNTEERS TO PARADE IN THEIR CIVILIAN ATTIRE **(Continued from Page One.)** Travis the Hibernians have acceded to the suggestion that they may parade on St. Patrick's day without causing the remotest infraction of the law or involving the possibilities of any normal citizen. Your instructions in regard to the carrying of firearms in this parade comes as a surprise from the fact that it is entirely a civilian parade and is in its utter nonsense without known opposition from any quarter. Therefore warning of this time seems to me to be influenced by a few professional bigots. Regardless of that I have made known my instructions to all parties and the parade will be so conducted without firearms. In conclusion I will state that the Hibernians always have cooperated in the peace and good order of the community without any exception whatever. I don't see any reason for worry. I mean to do everything in my power to see that the celebration is a peaceful one. "Your very respectfully, "JAMES J. MURPHY." An advertisement in The Butte Miner of March 7, commissioned officers of the Irish Volunteers No. 1 are asked by Major John J. Bowler of that company to assemble in civilian clothes. The notice reads as follows: **"Notice to Volunteers:** "All members of Company No. 1 are requested to assemble at Hibernia hall Sunday, March 7, wearing civilian clothes in the morning.

While the purpose back of the proposed celebration may be entirely patriotic, its effect might be to arouse enmities and inflame passions that Butte would be better and pleasanter without. "I accordingly feel it my duty to the American people to refrain from encouraging bitterness growing out of European situation that might be construed as a violation of the neutral spirit or better of American neutrality. It is to be hoped that all the Irish and Irish-American societies will adopt national prejudices that might lead to consequences most serious and not now to be contemplated.

Miller, editor of the New York Times. Summoned as a witness, Mr. Miller appeared in defense of a bill offered by Senator T. J. Walsh, chairman of the committee, to exempt from prosecution newspapers appearing in the foreign language. Another pending bill, true name of the sponsor, would compel compensation to railroads for carrying such publications. Miller declared the news columns of his paper were absolutely fair and impartial and that he had no intention to allow them to make themselves felt in the paper. Miller declared the probing of the proceedings of this world would have a far-marked tendency, if the committee adopted as a policy, to reduce the freedom of the press. Newspapers would hesitate, he declared, to criticize European capitals, the press that has been held in the reptile press you know in its fuller every day to the foreign country to which it belongs, either shall not send to its native land or shall or, to receive its orders. For this reason the committee had begun a proceeding of this kind and every newspaper in the country would not see any resistance, but intense opposition. If any effort continued, he declared, it would become absolutely necessary, constitute an invasion of the freedom of the press. Senator Walsh replied that the committee felt at liberty to prosecute --- its inquiries when addressed to the public in a great and solemn matter, in poor in exactly the same way it would address it in other affairs of state. Mr. Miller closed with a comment and declined to make other testimony. "I feel," he said, that if we were taking any proceeding in the columns of the office, there is none at the table here who would understand the tenet. Your committee would be trying it in exactly the same way you would try any other civil investigation and they possibly could be inflicted upon them with exactly the same results. **NOTICE.** The remains of Thomas Thompson, age 73 years, who died last evening, are at the Dolan & Reed's parlors.
