HOME RULE BILL
IS REPUD|ATED

Dublin, May 22.-The largest, most
representative and most harmonious
convention ever assembled in Ireland
yesterday repudiated the plan for a
limited Irish council, which was all
the liberal government had to offer
in fulillment of it's campaign prom
ises. This action killed the hope of
any home rule given by parliament,
created a serious split in the govern
ment's forces and may have far reach
ing results.
The temper Of the convention was
plain from the beginning. No one had
a word to offer in behalf of the bin.
Home rule or nothing was the unani,
nous sentiment and the resolution re-
jecting the measure, proposed by
John Redmond, commanded every
vote.
The Irish parliamentarians have
been deluged with resolutions from
town councils and all sorts OF official
and unofficial bodies since they ar
rived in Dublin, all denouncing the
bill.
The country spoke in an unmistak
able voice and the Irish members Of
parliament cheerfully acquiesced In
its will
Thee thousand delegates attended
the convention. The speeches were
temperate and there was little de-
nunciation of the government except
for an outbreak of a priest, who at
tempted to make the bin church
issue and was rebuked everything
went smoothly The American dele
gates were all greeted enthusiastical-
ly The keynote of the speeches and
of several resolutions introduced was

STEAM ROADS
FIGHT TRQLLEYS

Chicago. May 22-An apparent
combination among the western raj
roads to fight the competition of the
electric roads in refusing to enter in
to traffic relations with them, was dis
closed before the interstate com
merce commits sion here yesterday. Of
fcialS Of the Chicago and Milwaukee
Electric road testified that the Monon
Wabash, Rock Island and Illinois
Central had refused to join the elec.
trio line in through freight tariffs un.
less the western trunk line commits
sion would sanction such action. The
railroad officials in their testimony de
clared that the electric line was no
equipped to handle freight and tha
they would not join in through rates
with any line not in a position to give
as we'll as take cars.
| This case was brought as test
and if the commission decides tina
the railroads must join this electri,
road in through tariffs many simila
applications will be made.
