A HOME RULE FORECAST
Measure Similar to That of Mr..
Gladstone Reported Devised.

London, Aug. 2S.-"The Daily Chronicle" this
morning, forecasting the governments devolu-
ton scheme for ireland, says legislative union
VIII not be touched. and that Irish representation
at Westminster and the powers of the imperial
Parliament will not be changed. The chief
feature will be the esta blishment of an Irish
council at Dublin, directly elected, consisting of
lo3 members, the same as the Irish representa-
tion in the House OF Commons. with the addi-
ton OF forty-eight councillors directly elected
for larger areas by electors having ratable
value exceeding S100. peers and clergymen being
eligible. This is almost the same the legis
lative council and legislative assembly OF Gla'i-
stones bill; only they form one body and not
two. The Nationalist party as now organized
would not easily gain a large majority in the
council. The Chief Secretary would, under the
new scheme, be ex-officio chairman Of the Irish
Council, and representing the Lord Lieutenant
would consult with the leader of the majority
in the council regarding the appointment of the
chief heads of departments, the head of the
finance department occupying post analogous
TO that of the Premier. who, with his col
leagues, would hold their posts dependent upon
the vote OF the council.
The scheme includes the reorganization of the
Irish government into we'll defined departments,
such as finance. land. education etc. The judi
ciary viii not be molested. The Chief Secretary
will be the spokesman for the council and its
ministers TO Parliament. All Irish legislation
would still come before the House OF Commons.
bills being sent there by the council.
Financial arrangements will be the crlx of the
scheme. Simplicity will be aimed at, the elabo-
rate provisions OF previous home rule bills not
being revived.
'The Daily Chronicle" seems to intimate that
Irish members OF the House of Commons WIFI be
members OF the council, which would sit when
the imperial Parliament is not sitting.
The whole scheme will be open for revision
after five years

WIFE TRAINING SCHOOLS.
Cleveland Girl Students to Learn
Household Duties.
IBy TeIegraph . The Tribnne.l ]

Cleveland. Aug 27.-The Cleveland public
schools are going into the wifenaking business
Girls will be taught how 70 sweep. 70 cook, TO
economize in household expenditures. to make
their own clothes. 70 take care OF babies and 70
care for their husbands when they come home
sick. Those back of this movement for the well
fare OF husbands are Superintendent Elson. Of
Cleveland's public schools. and Assistant Super
intendent Warren z. Hicks, whose ideas will be
embodied IN the new "Tech" High School. Mr..
Hicks says:
We are going to fit our girls to be wives and
not servants and cooking is only one Of the feat
ures of the course. A partial outline Of tho
course would be this: First year applied arts and
elementary sewing; second year, elementary
chemistry in its relation 20 household duties. and
a continuation Of arts and sewing; third and
fourth years, the cooking will be taken up.
The average girl who marries nowadays is
pitiably ignorant of the duties the average man
expects her TO perform his wife. She knows
nothing of cooking, usually. She must be taught
how to care for the invalid. the food he requires
and the attention his room must receive. She
must learn of the Of little babies. She
should know how to do her marketing ecOnOmi-
cally. We shall teach her all these things.

FAUsTINo GUERRA

Chicago, Aug. 27.-The first and second federal
grand Jury to-day returned ten indictments
against the Standard Oil Company before Judge
Bethea in the United States Circuit Court The
indictments which contain 6,42O counts. are all
in connection with the granting Of rebates No
railroad mentioned in the indictments re-
turned to-day.
It was declared by the District Attorneys Of
fee that the penalty for each offence alleged
81 200 nor more than $4,000 This means the
imposition of an aggregate fine. should the COM
pany be found guilty on all counts, ranging from
s6.42000o to SIPS 100000
It is believed by the government attorneys
that the lawyers for the Standard Oil Company
Will enter the appearance Of the corporation in
court as soon as they have examined the in
dictments There is authority at present al
lowing the arrest Of the officers OF a corporation
against which indictments have been found
Each of the counts in the ten indictments
covers an alleged offence, and is based on a tank
car shipment of petroleum products from tho
reflneries at Whiting. Ind According 70 q
statement issued after the indictments had been
returned from the office of the United States
District Attorney. these shipments were carried
by the following roads: Chicago. Burlington &
Quincy. Chicago & Alton. Chicago & East
ern Illinois. Evansville & Terre Haute ILL.,
nois Central. Southern and Lake Shore & Michi-
gan Southern.
According to this statement the Burlington and
Alton roads had published lawful rates OF 1S
cents per hundred pounds to East ST. Louis from
whiting and 1912 cents to ST. Louis. but carried
oil for the Standard OIL Company on a secret
unpublished rate at and ~ cents to those
points, respectively
The statement then continues:
On shipments to points in the South beyond
Grand Junction the Standard Oil Company
should have paid the different lawful rates for
the different points Of destination but was given
concessions which averaged about 271A per cent
of the published rate. The same is true OF ship
ments handled by the Chicago & Eastern IL
linois and Evansville & Terre Haute to Evans
willie, Ind, and points beyond.
The concessions given to the Standard Oil
Company by the Lake Shore & Michigan South
ern road were in the shape Of cancellations
OF storage charges at Chicago of five cents per
ton per day on all Oil delayed in delivery. Other
oil shippers were compelled to pay the storage
charges.
The charges agains. the Illinois Central and
Southern railroads are the those in rela-
ton TO the shipments made 20 points beyond
Grand Junction.
