New York, Oct. 2: Budding hopes
for home rule for Ireland are held
out by T.. P. O'Connor, member of
parliament for Liverpool and one of
John Redmond's chief lieutenants,
who arrived here on the Lusitania to
spend short time in this country
raising funds to aid the Irish parlia-
mentary 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.
I'D IF the budget is thrown out by the
house of lords" said Mr.. O'Connor,
1T means a general election that will
necessitate large expenditures by our
party. The election will help Ireland,
because it is bound to be followed by
fair balancing of the parties that
will make the Irish vote an impor-
tant factor in parliament. -
Gust what the house of lords will
do with the budget is problematical.
Personally I have always been under
the impression that the lords would
pass the budget, but you hear some
thing different every minute.
There are many features of the
budget, such as the Increase of death
duties and land taxes, that have
caused contention in the house oil
lords. If the budget Is defeated it
means general election and then the
question will be decided whether the
powers of veto of the house of lords
shall be curtailed.

STANDARD OIL IN CONTROL
John D. Rockefeller, Jr, Director OF
Big Colorado Concern.


Big Colorado Concern.
New York, Oct 2i.-The election
OF John D. Rockefeller Jr., to the
directorate Of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron company indicates the formal
passing of that corporation from the
control of the Gould interests into the
dominion of the Standard OIL For
long time it has been known that
Standard Oil capital was behind the
concern and that Mr.. Rockefeller, Sr.,
had acquired large interest in the
company. The present directorate of
twelve, five of whom are admittedly
Standard Oil men, insures that the
destinies of the corporation will hence
forth be directed from 26 Broadway.
Young sMr. Rockefeller stepped into
the vacancy in the board created by
the death of E. H. Hartman and it is
believed that the Hartman interests
in the property were purchased by
John D. Rockefeller, the elder, to-
make this possible.
