lsjus,ice Against xhieh Irelaal Appeals.

EDITOR OF PATEIoT.-The follow ing statements are taken from a recent speech delivered in the British House of Commons, by ohn Redmond, lead CT of the Irish Parliamentary party, on the "British Budget and Ireland" The distinguished Irish leader declared it was an excellent budget from British standpoint. The Irish party was there to look al it from an Irish standpoint, and in that light he had no difficulty in showing that its operation would be most oppressive and unjust to Ireland. His:use of the causes Of the Act Of Union was effective. He had no diffi- culty in proving that the clauses of that Act were fiagrantly violated.
 In l79l, before the Act of Union, the Irish debt was Sl0 0,250,000. In lsll. after the Act of Union that debt had risen to s35. .000, 900, and in lsl7 il had risen to s375 100000.
 Irish taxation at the time of the Act of Union, was $l5. .0O0 ,000. In 1877 it was S3O, ,00, ,0W. The first seventeen years of the working of the Act of Union all Irish revenue rapidly declin- ed, and Irish taxation rapidly inereas- ed.
 .But we have not come here. said the brilliant Irish leader, ito discuss measures from British standpoint of view. We are here against our will. We are here in . permanent minority. We are here always in opposition. We have no hold over the government of our country, or over the finance of out country. We have come here simply beeause, we are forced to come to endea- yor to wiring from this assembly which, when it is not hostile, Is largely ignor- ant of Irish affairs, some concession Of our rights. And from that point of view I think I will be able to show to every impartial and fair-minded man who does me the honor to listen 10 me for a moment. that this budget is bad, unjust and oppressive to Ireland We have To pay our share for your bioated naval arm.e.ents. We have to pay our share for the conduct of wars which are absolutely hateful 10 us- We have 10 pay our share for the Identification of the Imperial Capital. There Is not one of your public buildings erected in Lon don, at . cost of millions, for which poor Ireland has not had 10 pay her share, and more than her share.

ARE SUMMONED
BOND ELECTION METHODS WILL
BE ELUclDATED
Officers of Sixty=nine Precincts Ex-
pected to Tell if Secrecy of
the Ballots Was Pre-
served

More than fifty subpoenas have been
issued for persons to appear as Wit
nesses in the city school bond injunc-
ton suits, trial of which will begin in
department seven of the superior court
tomorrow with Judge B. F. Bledsoe of
san Bernardino presiding. The trial is
expected to last the entire week, if not
longer, plans having been made by the
boad of education to combat any tes-
timeny offered by the plaintiff, I. ).
Spencer.
The question at issue concerns the
manner in which the election was held,
the plaintiff, or rather the unnamed in
stigators of the suit, contending that
the secrecy of the ballot was not main
tained when the bond election was hetd
in January. Efforts of the attorneys
for the plaintiff to secure evidence to
prove this fact, it is said, are meeting
with small success.
The case involves $720000 of school
bonds, and those called as witnesses
reDresent officers of sixty-nine pre-
cincts, as well as a large number or
persons familiar with the conduct OF
elections.
Hartley Shaw, chief deputy of the
district attorney will represent the su-
pervisors; Emmett Wilson, the city, ard
Joseph Scott the board of education, an
of whom are named as defendants

News OF the Courts
COURT WILL HEAR
UNUSUAL LAWSUIT
INDEMNITY COMPANY NAMED
AS THE DEFENDANT
Cudahy Packing Corporation Demands
Payment of Nearly Thirteen Thou-
sand Dollars on Numerous
Bills

Perhaps no tribunal in the country is
better known for the variety of suits
filed than the superior court of Los
Angeles, but it is a rare occasion when
an action is instituted that does not
find it's counterpart on the records of
the past. An exception was noted yes
terday, however when, for the first
time in the history of the court, SO
far as present officials are Informed, a
suit to recover losses incurred by rea-
son of delinquent debtors was filed
against an indemnity company which
had insured a corporation against loss
in this way.
The suit is by the Cudahy Packing
company against the American Credit
Indemnity company of New York, and
demands payment from the latter of
$12,SS1.97 in uncollectible bills. The
packing company was insured against
loss in this regard jim July, 1907, the
policy extending to September 30 last
year and guaranteeing an indemnity
up to $4,000. During the life of the
policy, it is claimed by the packing
company, customers failed to pay debts
to the amount of money demanded in
the suit.

REQUESTS ARTICLES LEFT
BY HER SOLDIER HUSBAND
judge Rives Gives Widow All Per-
sonal Property Except Bulldog
and Rifle

A touching manifestation of the af-
fection borne by Mrs. Erta stanton for
her soldier husband, Major William
stanton, who died several weeks ago,
was shown in the probate department
of the superior court yesterday, when
the widow asked Judge Rives to set
apart for her benefit a number of artl-
cles used or worn by the major. Among
these were a pair of shoes, two swords,
q. safety razor. collars, cuffs and neck
ties, all of small value intrinsically,
but of priceless worth to the young
widow. There are also Marlin rifle,
outfit, Colt automatic revolVer
ana an English bull terrier for which
Major stanton manifested the greatest
fondness.
Judge Rives granted the Widows re-
quest, with the exception or the dog
and the revolver, explaining that the
rifle would meet all requirements of de-
fense and expressing some doubt as to
the serenity of the animaPs temper
