BY UNANIMOUS VOTE
Irish Nationalist Convention Re-
jects Government Bill.
MEETING LARGELY ATTENDED
Resolution Adopted Declaring That
the Proposed Measure "ls Utterly
Inadequate in Its Scope and Unsat-
isfactory in Its Details"

isfactory in Its Details"
Dublin, May 22.-The Nationalist
convention called to decide whether
the Irish bill introduced in the house
of commons May by the chief secre-
tary for Ireland, Mr.. Birrell, was &C
ceptable to the people of Ireland unan-
imously adopted John Redmond's res
olution rejecting the measure. The
resolution declares that the bill sis
utterly inadequate in it's scope and
unsatisfactory in it's details and should
be rejected by the Irish nation; and
we regard the introduction of such
measure by British government
pledged to home rule as confirmation
of the position we have always taken
that any attempt to settle the Irish
entirely unsuccessful and we call upon
the Irish party to oppose the bill in
the house of commons and press upon
the government with all their strength
and power to introduce a measure for
the establishment of a native parlia-
ment with a responsible executive
power over all purely Irish affairs
and at this crisis in the fortunes of
Ireland we invite all the Nationalist
forces of the country to unite in sup
port of our representatives in par
lament and enable them to effectively
press for the speedy and genuine set
tlement of the Irish question"
The convention was held in the
roundroom Of the historic Mansion
House and the floor Of the rotunda
was packed with delegates from many
societies and constituencies represent
ing every part of Ireland The Irish
members of parliament were present
in full force and many of the Catholic
clergy were conspicuous on the plat
form.
Redmond Condemns Measure.
In his speech advocating the rejec-
tion of the Birrell bill Mr.. Redmond
first denied the claim that he and his
colleagues were committed to the bill.
On the contrary, he declared, the
trainers of the measure had refused
his advice as to the only safe basis
on which the proposed council could
be founded. The Irish members of
parliament were not committed to any
part of the bill or to the government.
They had voted for it's introduction
in order to fulfill their promises and
so that the governments proposals
might be submitted to convention.
Summarizing his views Mr.. Red
mond asserted that the Birrell bill
was not workable and therefore would
end in disgrace and disaster; it's fail
ure would be used as an argument
against Ireland's capacity for self
government and it's operation would
result in the decentralization of the
Nationalist party and the existing
unity, which was Ireland's strongest
weapon. 81 -
Mr.. Redmond criticised the details
of the financial and other features of
the bill as being inadequate when
compared with the great powers given
to the lord lieutenant. Government
by committees, he said, was unheard
Of Knowing the constitution of the.
British parliament he knew it was
useless to secure satisfactory amend
mentS to the measure 1@

NEW ROGER WILLIAMS TO BE ON
OLYMPIC PARK SITE.

There is one significance to PROF,
Sales visit to Nashville this week. IL
means the rebuilding of Roger Will
Jams University. It is understood that
after tour of inspection over various
parts of the city, the State Board in
the presence of DR.. Sales, visited
Olympic Park and held a meeting IN
in the club building, and a counter
proposition was offered the Home Mis-
sion Society of New York by the State
Board of Tennessee, by which Olymp-
ic Park will become the grounds and
the new site of Roger Williams Uni
versitY
Tt is understood that the proposition
in substance is as follows The Ne
Gro Baptists of Tennessee to put up
$4,000. the Home Mission Society to
nut up $1,000, making total of $lO,-
900 which is the price that the park is
now offered for, and thus disposing of
the former site selected and purchased
by the Society at the end of Kayne
avenue. A resolution was also adopt
ed at the board meeting that the
deal be closed August /, and that the
school be opened October |, 1907, Il
this &nes thrsaah The present spaI
cious club house, which has only been
built about one month, will pass into
the hands of the university and the
magnificent grounds on the banks Of
the Cumberland overlooking the city
of Nashville, will become the Baptist
educational center of Tennessee.
At the board meeting able speeches
we're made by Revs. w. S. Ellington
G.. B. Taylor and DR.. r. H. Boyd who
were in company with the eight gentle
men who were with Prof Sales on this
tour of inspection.

There should be no mincing of
words in handling these two low, gut
ter elements-the mud sills-of both
races. Their conduct is decidedly dan
gerous to any community and deserves
the severest condemnation and pun
ishment. They furnish the most con-
tagious and baneful object lesson, and
no mercy should be shown them
The daily newspaper accounts OF
the criminal and misdemeanor doings

these white "gents," who utterly disre-
garded the "social equality" doctrine
But had it been only Negroess how
glibly would the names of all parties
have flowed forth. If there are white
rascals who break the "social equality
eggs" let there be no hiding of the
shells. If there is less hiding of shells
there will be less breaking of eggs
That's the point, and thereby hangs

LEAGUE.

The National Negro Business
League, of which Booker T. Washing
ton is President, will hold its Sth an
nual session in Topeka, Kans, this
year, the dates having been fixed for
Aug. A. IS and 16.
This League, as is generally known,
is composed of many of the best, most
influential and industrious men and
women of the race, and we may say
that in large measure, represents
the wealth, business acumen and in
telligence of the race And when we
say intelligence, we do not mean to
confine the terms to literary attain
ments, but we mean that class of men
and women who do things, who ac-
complish something for themselves,
and are a living and practical exam
pie to the commercial and business
world that could we'll be emulated.
Men and women of every livelihood
are represented in this great con-
course of industry that is soon to in
wade. for the first time, the broad and
inviting plains of historic Kansas.
Is.rgely the majority of those at
tending will come from the North
East and South; some as delegates
and many as. friends of the League
who will make the trip to see the
West as a matter of curiosity and per
sOnal pleasure. The attendance will
be large-we dare say the largest in
the history of the League in point OF
delegates assembled.
It will be splendid opportunity
for the North South, East and West
to touch the cord of common brother.
hood and for three days drink from
the same fountain that will be filled
with the lessons of economy, thrift
and industry. There has never been
time in the history of this republic
when there was a greater necessity

Outstanding as to the best methods of
making a. life worth living OF max
ing a life, not only commendable to
ourselves or ones own country but to
the world
The program for this session will be
ripe with seed thoughts, thoughts
which when once dropped will take
root and send forth hundred fold
The benefits to be derived from this
meeting, especially to the West, are
incalculable.
The Committee on Transportation is
assured of a rate of not over 1-S fare
for the round trip for the benefit of
those who may avail themselves OF
the opportunity.
Topeka most heartily extends to al
her warmest and best right hand The
necessary committees have been ap
pointed and ample accommodations
for all will be provided. A most
hearty reception will be extended.
