BRYCE SPEAKS IN DUBLIN
Relations Of the Norsemen to ireland
Given Vote of Thanks.

Dublin, Jan. 4,-James Bryce. the
newly appointed ambassador of Great
Britain to the United States, delivered
a lecture here tonight under the aus
pices of the National Literary society
His subject was the relations Of the
Norsemen to Ireland from the eighth
to the twelfth century, and he gave an
interesting review of the laws and lit
eraturo of Ireland.
Mr.. Bryce received a vote of thanks
from the society, and in seconding it,
John Dillon, M. p, said of Mr., Bryce
that he would carry to his new task the
friendship and good will of Irishmen,
and he would see what Irishmen could
do in a free country, living under con-
ditions far different from those of Ire
land. Continuing Mr.. Dillon expressed
his belief that Mr.. Bryce's experience
of the present system of Irish govern
ment would make him more than ever
determined to champion Irish liberty.
At this remark some of the occu-
pants of the platform rose with show
of Indignation, and the chairman said;
II must rule this out OF order"
There then followed a small scene,
many persons in the audience calling
upon Mr.. Dillon to 'go on" but Mr.
Dillon insisted upon bowling to the rul-
ing of the chairman.

TROUBLE AT VESUTIUS
Recent Heavy Rains Cause Enormous
Avalanches of Mud.

Naples, Jan. 4.-The recent heavy
rains have caused enormous avalanches
of mud to start from the top of Mount
Vesuvius. They grew in size as they
swept along, and eventually spread out
over several square miles. Trees in
their path were uprotted and farm
buildings were totally destroyed. A
number of animals We're killed, but
fortunately no people lost their lives
One man had narrow escape He
was carried for almost a mile on the
sea of mud, but was rescued by three
courageous women who had made their
way over the avalanche at the risk Of
their lives and succeeded in bringing
him to a point of safety. A train on
the Vesuvian railroad was blocked by
the mud at San Giuseppe, village that
was nearly destroyed during the erup-
ton of last April.
Workmen who have been clearing
away the ruins of the church at San
Giuseppe, where there was a great loss
of life last April, discovered six more
bodies. When the news of this find
was heard the people Of the town
crowded to the church in view of an
endeavor to identify the unfortunates.
The bodies were in an advanced stage
of decomposition, and they could only
be recognized by fragments of clothing
or trinkets found in the pockets. A
memorium to all the victims Of the
eruption who lived in San Giuseppe is
to be erected on the spot where this
church stood

VERY QUIET SUNDAY
Prescribed FOR BOSTON
SABBATH ACTIVITIES OF PEO-
PIE TO BE CHECKED IN
MANY WAYS.

Enforcement of Old "BIue Laws" Will
Stop work and Pleasure--TweIve
Hundred Residents Summoned Into
Court as Result of the Controversy
Between District Attorney Moran and
Police Commissioner O'Meara.
Boston, Jan. 4.-The Sunday activities
of the people of Boston will be checked
in many important ways under deci-
sions reached in the municipal court
to-day in connection with the cases
brought under the enforcement of the
Sunday laws, commonly known as the
Massachusetts blue laws" Twelve
hundred residents of Boston have been
summoned into court, as a result of
the controversy between District At
torney John B. Moran and Police Com
missioner Stephen OiAIeara over the al
legged violations of the Sunday statute;
the decisions of Special Justice Duff,
who was assigned to try the cases,
were many and varied to-day, and if
they are sustained by the higher courts
will signalize cessation in many direc-
tions of work which has been carried
on without interruption on Sundays in
the past. The court found for in
stance, thatthe transfer of scenery and
other theatrical effects from theaters
after midnight of Saturday is not a
work of necessity, which is permitted
under the statutes.
The collection of offal from hotels on
Sunday was declared unlawful on the
distinction that it was collected, not
because it was necessary to feed the
swine, but because of the probability
that it would spoil and become useless
as a product is not collected on the
Sabbath.
The playing Of orchestras in the ho-
tells of Boston on Sunday is likewise
unlawful, and must be discontinued,
under the decision of the court. A
fiddler, Gustave Fielder, who played
last Sunday at the Hotel Thorndike,
with other musicians, was convicted
and fined five dollars on the ground
that his work was not necessary
work, or a charitable work.
Boston must do without ice cream
tlleVb - uShNSlSu ny NeiAS1SAo Va puH-
days, as this was held by the court to
be outside of the law. Justice Duff
left for the consideration OF the entire
municipal bench the far-reaching ques-
tion OF whether the transfer of person
al baggage by express companies on
Sundays is legal, but ruled provision
ally that the transfer Of casket on
the Sabbath was unlawful. unless 1t
was intended for the immediate use Of
the dead.
The special committee on Sunday
laws of the legislature, which has been
sitting all summer, will, 1t is expect
ed recommend some drastic change in
the present statute, so thatthe present
difficulties as to Sunday work will be
eliminated.

LENGTHY PRoTEST.
Made by Members of jamestown Ex-
position Commission.


Boston, Jan A long protest by
members of the advisory board of the
Jamestown exposition against "The
diversion Of the exposition to the SER
vices of militarism' was issued to-
night. The protest is made by Carroll
D. Wright, president of Clark college;
Edwin D. Mead and Rev. Edward Ev-
erett Hale, d. D., of Boston; Cardinal
James Gibbons of Baltimore; John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers Of America; Miss Jane Adams
of Chicago, Miss M. Carey Thomas,
president Of the Bryn Mawr college;
William Couper, the New York sculp-
tor; Prof. James II. Gillard of New
orleans; Prof. C. NJ Woodward of St.
Louis; Prof. Charles Zueblin of the
University of Chicago, and others.
The document in part is as follows:
"The extravagant militarism Of the
programme of the coming Jamestown
exposition, as developed and disclosed
during the last few months, is a pro-
found shock to a great body of the
American people,
"We believe that the knowledge of
this programme, Of which this is one
of the many statements in the exposi-
tion journal and bulletins in these
months, has come to three-quarters of
the American people as a great sur
prise. 1t is d programme utterly DIFF
ferent form that given when the plan
of the jamestown exposition was first
submitted to the public.
"That an International naval and
military celebration was to have con-
spicuous place in the exposition's pro-
gramme, as provided for by congress in
granting aid for that purpose in 1905,
was well known, and was convention
ally proper; but the purpose to make
this great exposition primarily naval
and military spectacle, to intoxicate
the American people for six months
by a great living picture Of war, and
of all it's enticing splendors, encourag-
ing the notion that war Is a thing of
splendor, a pageant and game, in
stead of horror, and to-day almost
invariably crime, was not known,
was not ayowed, and has clearly been
a gradually evolving purpose, whose
carrying on t,as now advertised, can
only work immense mischief to the
country. We solemnly protest against
it,"

FOR A MASONIC TEMPLE
HIRAM LODGE TAXES INITIA-
TIVE STEPS At BANQUET.

Appointed by Worshipful Master
Frank S. Conklin to Formulate Plans
and Make Arrangements.
The initiative steps were taken at
the banquet of Hiram lodge, No. /, A.
F. and A. NJ, towards securing for the
city Of New Haven a Masonic temple,
which will be worthy of the City Of
Films and a lasting credit to the an
cient and honorable craft which it will
represent The building Of a Masonic
temple in New Haven has often been
talked over by those who occupy beth
low and exalted statians In Masonic
circles. Almost every city in the coun-
try of the size and population Of New
Haven reioices in its Masonic temple.
They are generally magnificent works
Of art and are usually gazetted on the
list of sgihts worth seeing.
Hartford has an elegant .temple, and
Bridgeport also has a building worthy
the brethren Of the order. while cities
of much smaller proportions have also
their Masonic home where all the
lodges can meet under one room and
where the building is dedicated to the
work of Masonry. When Hiram had
to relinouish her quarters in the old
temple at the corner of Chapel and
Union streets, which was taken down
to make room for the railroad inn
provements she found great difficulty
in getting suitable quarters to hold her
communications in, and for nearly a
year had to occupy stinted quarters in
the Elks' building. Ia few weeks ago
they changed their quarters to Frater-
nifty hall, and while this place is an
admirable meeting hall for lodges yet
1t is not considered an ideal temple.
The old Masonic hall on Church street
is occupied every week night with va
rious lodges, and here the accomnoda-
tions are generally considered by
many Masons as also unsatisfactory
and Inadequate.
The building of a temple in New Ha-
ven, therefore, becomes a necessity,
and Hiram lodge has taken steps
which it is hoped will eliminate in the
building of suitable temple where all
Masons will be abl eto meet under one
roof and in a home they can call their
own AS before mentioned the ball
was set a-rolling by the new master
of Hiram lodge, Frank S. Conklin. at
the banquet of the lodge held Thurs
day evening, and an influential com
mittee was appointed to take the nee
essary steps regarding the formation
of plans, etc. The proposal is highly
spoken Of by many well known Ma
sons, and 1t is generally thought that
the outcome of the matter will be a
Masonic temple for New Haven

GAS SUPPLY SHUT OFF.
Cleveland Faces Bad situation--CoId
Wave in Store.

Cleveland, jan 4.-With cold wave
bearing down on the city, the forerun-
ner of which set in this afternoon, and
which is increasing in severity, Cleve-
lands natural gas supply is completely
cut off tonight and thousands of
homes are without either heat or iIlu-
mination.
No relief is promised until some time
tomorrow, and in order to effect that
result a large force of men is working
tonight in Summit county, at the scene
of the bursted main, in repairing the
work done by an explosion early to-
day.
The work is retarded by the fact that
the place is covered for acres around
with water as a result of heavy rains
and swollen small streafs, which flood
ed the neighborhood.
Later to-day cooked foodstuff became
an item, restaurants and bakeries
which were dependent upon natural gas
being entirely cleaned out.
