HOPES FOR HOME RULE.
Are Held Out to IrisImen by T. p
O'COnnor.

New York. Oct. 22.-Budding hopes
for home rule for Ireland are held out
by T. p. O'Connor. who arrived here
today on the Lusitania, to spend a
short time in this country raising funds
to aid the Irish parliamentary party.
AS the situation now stands everything
hinges on the action TO be taken by the
house of lords on the budget, said Mr..
O'Connor
IF the budget is thrown out by the
house of lords said Mr. O'Conor. 1T
means general election which will
neoessitate large expenditures by our
party. The election will help Ireland
because it is bound to be followed by a
fair balancing of the parties that will
make the Irish vote an important
factor in parliament.
"Just what the house of lords will do
with the budget is problematical. Per-
sonally I have always been under the
impression that it would pass the
budget, but you hear something differ
ent every minute.
There are many features of the
budget, such as caused contention in
the house of lords. If the budget is de-
feated it means a general election AND
then the question will be decided
whether the powers of veto of the house
of lords shall be curtailed."
A deputation from the municipal
counsel of the United Irish League OF
America greeted the Irish leader at the
pier and tonight he will be rendered a
reception by several organizations.

PortoIa Festival Enlivened by an Au-

San Francisco, CAL, Oct. 22.-San
Francisco and her carnival crowds
rested today after yesterdays siren
uous celebration and few outdoor at
fractions outside of athletic contests
marked the days program. The chief
spectacular event of the day was a
decorated automobile parade partici-
pated in by over thousand ma
chimes. Many of the cars entered in
the parade came from the interior of
the state and these were placed in
divisions Other events of the morning
were the continuation of the profess
sional and amateur tournaments and
a reception given by the Daughters of
the American Revolution.
Queen Vergilia viewed the Portola
field and track championships in the
Golden Gate park stadium this morn
ing. This meet was second in point
of class entries only to the recent
American championships at Seattle.
The chief reception of the after
noon was rendered to the visiting club
women by the California Federation
of Women's clubs. An interesting
feature of the day, not on the original
program, was the firing of salutes in
honor of the birthday of the German
empress by the warships in the har-
Dor.

This Is to Be Preferred Rather
Than Lawsuits.
Railroad Board to Investigate
Oklahoma Pullman Rates.
KANAVEL GOES THERE
Study Situation Before Pushing
Kansas Suits
For General Pullman Rate for
Trans-Mississippi District.

George w. Kanavel of the state board
OF railroad commissioners left today
for Guthrie, Oklahoma, where he will
investigate thoroughly the Pullman
rate situation In that state. Since the
complaint has been filed with the COM
missioners asking that the Pullman
company reduce the maximum set of
berth rates in Kansas to compare fav-
orably with those in Oklahoma the
work of investigation has been carried
on in a superficial manner.
The board will be represented more
carefully in Guthrie by Mr.. Kanavel.
He will find out just what Pullman Of
ficials agreed to give these low rates TO
Oklahoma and their reasons for doing
so. He will go through the books OF
the state and ascertain the wealth,
Of the state compared with that OF
Kansas. From first look it &oes not
seem as though Kansas should be dis
eliminated against in this manner
when from all apparent reasons this
state should be favored as far as pas
senger and population service is con-
cerned.
The Pullman company have about 20
days yet in which to answer the charge
against them. Until then the board of
railroad commissioners will study their
methods in Oklahoma
One of the officials of the Kansas
commission said today: 1.-The Pullman
company IN the recent past have adj
justed and modified the Pullman rates
III the territory east Of the Mississippi;
and are now engaged in similar adj
jus-ment and modification of the ra.es
in the transmississirpi territory of
which Kansas, Oklahoma. and other
western states are a part. 1t is our
information that this adjustment will
be completed before Christmas, AMI it
is our understanding that there is no
Intention on the part of the Pullman
C, mpany to concede better rates to one
state than to the others. Such an at
titude would only Invite trouble fcl
the company; but We have been ad
yised by the Pullman company that il
they can proceed with these adjust
ments irrespective of state boundaries
| that they can greatly expedite tbs
adjustments and the reductions, and
that if the company have to deal with
| every state individually that the desired
relief will be greatly delayed

theory that relief and me- lawsuits is
what the people Of Kansas desire, and
we have every assurance that this will

borrowings from foreign markets have
