accused rival submarine concern, the
Lake Boat Company of Connecticut,
with h2Ting offered to have the inquiry
called off if the Electric Boat company
would agree to consolidation, but he
did not say that Llley knew of this
plot. Rice said that the proposition had
come to him from Hugh Grant Brown
Of New York and that Brown had told
him that If the deal were made Sem

once Senator Buckley asked the COM

Home Rule Principle Adopted.
The British house of commons voted,
313 to 157, in favor of resolution
moved by John Redmond, the Irish
Nationalist leader, that Sin the opinion
of the house solution Of this problem
(home rule for Ireland) can only be at
tanned by giving the Irish people leg
islative and executive control of all
purely Irish affairs, subject to the su-
preme authority of the imperial par
lament" The qualifying clause as to
the supreme authority of parliament
was inserted as an amendment. No
immediate action is expected. as it is

Universities For ireland.
Augustine Birren, secretary for Ire
land, introduced in the commons on
March 81 the bill containing a nom
sectarian scheme Of higher education
for the Irish people. 1t would charter
two new universities at Dublin and at
Belfast and in neither would religious
tests be allowed. Between them would
be divided 100000 from the Irish
church fund, and the management
would be in the hands Of both Cath
Ollie and Protestant bishops and lay
men, but the crown would name some

Whole College on Strike.
Almost the entire student body of the
New York university refused to attend
lessons because the faculty had sus-
pended the captain of the crew on ac-
count Of his part in ducking recalci-
trant freshman In the campus fountain.
This student had made himself UNI
popular by refusing to be hazed and
using a revolver and detective to
protect himself. Finally the recalc1-
trant, whose name is Bloch, was
brought to terms and signed an agree
ment to submit to whatever punish
ment the students might dictate, but
this did not relieve the crew captain
from suspension.

| of congress next November and the
presentation of the name of Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks for the presidency
were the salient features Of the In
diana Republican convention. The
tariff plank is in line with the views
expressed in a letter from Fairbanks
which was read to the convention, and
it is regarded as clever tactics. OF
course the revision talked Of by the
vice president was Of the protective
hind. But the selection Of November
as the time was taken in some quar-
ters to mean that the possibility of &
Democratic congress being elected
need not rob the Republicans of the
right to fix the tari1f according to their
beliefs. Other planks of the platform
are for more economy in public ex-
penditures, especially as to the army
and navy, reform Of the financial sys-
tenn, regulation of trusts, anti-child la
bor labor legislation and deep water
ways.

the Nebraska leader of Democracy
when he spoke at the big dollar dinner
OF Kansas City, Mo-, attended by 1000
members Of the Young Mems Demo
cratic Club of Missouri Judson Har-
mon of Ohio was also down for a
speech, and he began it, but the eager
ness to hear Bryan made the audience
impatient and so noisy that Harmon
had to quit. The keynote Of Bryan's
talk was comparison between Taft
and La Toilette. in which he made it
plain that he regarded the latter as a
real reformer who, if he were nomi-
mated, would command the support of
that big section Of Republicans who
want to see things done, while Taft he
characterized as a bogus reformer

ans support the Democratic candidates
If the Republican party names Taft.
