London, Eng.-The opinion in the
lobbies of the house of parliament on
the prospects Of the Irish council bill,
which is designed to meet the demands
for Irish home rule, has taken a very
pessimistic turn, because of the grow
ing belief that the nationalists' COIL
vention, which is to be held in Dublin
May q and %, will not accept the
bill.
In this case, in accordance with an
understanding between the Irish sec
retary, Mr. Birrell, and John f. Rad
mond the nationalist leader, reached
during the negotiations which preceded
the draft of the bill, the government
will make no further attempt to pro.
ceed with the measure.
1t is said that Mr.. Birrell is willing
to amend in the direction of modify
ing the lord lieutenant's power of veto
and increasing the government allow
ance from $500, 600 to $4,000, 600, but it
is doubtful if even these concessions
will satisfy the convention.

Charge Of Forgery.

New York, N. Y.-A warrant chaug-
ing forgery against one of the defend
ants in the case of George R. Scrugham,
manager Of the International policy
holders committee, and Charles F.
Darlington and Charles Stirrup, under
arrest on a charge of conspiracy will
be asked for by the prosecution, accord
ing to an announcement just made by
Assistant District Attorney Smyth in
police court.
Mr.. Smyth's announcement came af-
ter he had informed the court that the
case of the prosecution was practi-
cally finished.
He had only one more witness, Leon
Tobriner of Washington, he said. Mr.,
Tobriner will be ready to testify next
Monday, and he asked that the hearing
be adjourned until that time.
After our evidence is all in," said
Mr.. Smyth in asking for the adjourn
ment, Il will leave it to your honor
whether a warrant charging forgery
shall issue against one of these de-
fendants."
The adjournment was ordered and
the magistrate said that he would an
nounce his decision upon the question
of issuing warrant as soon as the tes-
timony is complete.
The charge against Scrugham, Car
rington and Stirrup grew out Of the
balloting for directors of the New
York life insurance company. Caring
ton turned states evidence and he and
several other witnesses have sworn
that ballots were altered, and that
names were signed to them without au-
thorization upon orders from Scrugh-
am. Handwriting experts testified re-
