IRISH BILL IN COMMONS
MEASURE SEEKING sELF-eovERN
MENT INTRODUCED.
Bio Crowd Fills British House to Wit
ness Introduction by Chief secre-
tary Birreil.

London, May S.-The Irish bill was
introduced in the house of commons
Tuesday by the chief secretary for
Ireland, Mr.. Birrell. The introduc-
ton of this measure had been antici'
pated with the keenest interest, as 1t
presents in new form the long-draWn-
out struggle of Ireland for self-gov-
eminent. In anticipation OF the event
the house of commons was crowded,
the Hobbies and galleries being filled
with the conspicuous figures in the
Irish movement. The bill had been
, drafted by Mr.. Birrell, who succeeded
Mr.. Bryce, on the latter's recent APP
pointment as ambassador at Washing
ton and to some extent followed the
lines of the measure which Mr.. Bryce
had tentatively framed for Ireland.
Prior to the appearance of the meas
ure it was popularity termed "devo-
| ton BILL" but to-day its advocates re-
fer to it as the Irish council bill"
| owing to its creation of council to
| take over a number of the admins
| tratiye features of Irish rule. But to
Ireland and the general public the bill
| is the Irish BILL" with home rule pre-
| sented in such new and modified form
as to enlist the support of the ele-
ments hitherto hostile.
Mr.. Birrell's explanation of the new
bill was received with deep interest
and unwavering attention. Its terms
had been kept secret except to a few
of the foremost Irish leaders, SO that
all alike were on the tiptoe of ex
pectancy in regard to the measure.
The bill does not give complete
home rule, nor has it been the purpose
of the government to grant ireland
complete. self rule at single stroke
On the contrary, as Mr.. Birrell ex
planned, the governments measure j:
but stepping-stone;; it is at leas
some measure of self rule for Irelans
over Irish affairs, and this much &C
: complished it gives some promise 0
the ultimate realization of complet
home rule. 1t remains to be seel
whether Ireland and the Irish leader
will accept the measure as sufficien
realization of their hopes for HON
, rule.

Can't Dodge Pass Law.
Does the interstate commerce clause

Intimations from cities along the

lawyers believe that an Iowan may
go to city across the line and thence
ride on pass to any point within
Iowa without violation of either the
state or federal antipass law. This
is on the theory that it would be an
