IRISH HOME RULE
The Long Expected Bill Was Pre-
scented in the House
&, of Commons.
LITTLE SELF-GOvERNMEN1
Halfway Measure Wholly Pleasing
to No Political Party-conventlon
In Dublin to Decide On
Party Policy.

London, May 8.-The government
Tuesday presented its long awaited
Irish bill to the House of Commons
and the country. This bill is designed
to meet the demands for Irish home
rule. 1t was presented by the chief
secretary for ireland, Mr.. Eirrell, to
a crowded house.
The measure confers little self-gov-
eminent upon Ireland, merely giving
to the council control of the eight de-
partments now managed by govern
ment boards. The council is to be
appointed by the crown and while the
lord lieutenant Of Ireland is given
power to nullify its measures, the
crown retains control Of five Of the
eight departments, including the con-
s%tabulary. The control of this branch
always has been a thorn in the flesh
Of the Irish people.
This halfway measure is wholly
pleasing to no political party. The
Unionists regard it as a step toward
home rule. They object to giving Ire
land the management Of many depart
ments Of local affairs while the Irish
members of Commons retain the
right to legislate in similar affairs
for England and Scotland. They
critioise also the plan Of government
as complicated and cumbersome. The
rodicals are disappointed that the
measure falls SO short Of actual home
rule. 4
The Irish leaders, however, are
maintaining a diplomatic attitude u
til they have time to study the pro
visions of the bill and learn the senti-
ment Of the people.
A nationalist convention will be
held in Dublin to decide upon the
Irish party policy. The laborites will
support the measure because @ey
are all home rulers.
To prevent the first reading Of the
bill being deferred until Wednesday
and while Walter Hume Long was
still speaking. DR.. Birrell moved the
closure. Then amide great uproar
and protests and shouts Of Gag" the
was carried by All votes to
l21 and the bill passed Its first read

then adjourned.

Butte, Mont, May S.-William Pow
ers, aged 81, who says he came here
last week from Sand Point, Idaho, was
arrested near Woodville by a sheriff
posse Tuesday afternoon suspected Of
being one Of the men who Tuesday
morning held up the North Coast
limited on the Northern Pacific near
Welchs. He said he meant to board
a train at Woodville and beat his
way out of the country. He denied all
knowledge of the murder and hold-up
at Welchs, but he was sent to Butte
by the sheriff.
Engineer CLOVIS last heroic act in
turning on the air brakes probably
saved hundreds Of lives. The grade
at Welchs is on the top of the divide,
is very steep and the curve incessant'
Had both men IN the cab fallen be-
fore the brakes were put on, the ex-
press train undoubtedly would have
attained a rate Of speed sufficient to
jump the track and plunge into the
canyon.

shooting but evidently became

Billings was on the train and started
