Eradication of Landlordism.
Mr.. O'Connor replied by describing the
train of events in Irish life for the past
twenty mine years, which has seen the
practical death of landlordism and the
creation Of 3Ol 900 peasant proprietors.
In ten years. said he, the name of land
lord will not exist in Ireland. Where
large families of ten or twelve used to
live i'm novels of one room there are
now 4O0OO to 10000 clean and roomy houses
built. or in course of construction. These
years have seen one-half of the conquest
of home rule by the creation of county
councils, which now control the internal
administration of the country. They have
seen the creation of old age pensions Tor
20 900 old and helpless people. and have
saved them from the servitude of the

Pluck and Determination.
The militiamen and regulars took tie
greatest interest in the shCO ing of the
boys, some of whom were not much
higher than their rifles. Time and again
the recOil of the Krag rifle would make
the smaller boys stagger. but they show
cd frea. pluck and determination. and
some OF the youngest made excellent
scores.
! The red flag. which indicated missing
the target. was waved rather often, espe-
cially as the boys began 10 get tired
after holding the heavy rife, but the
white disk. which signaled shot i'm the
bulls eye. was also seen quite often, and
the scores made by some Of the pupils
called forth much applause from the reg
liars and militiamen.

standing or prone. Two ranges. the 2U- I

and handed out the cartridges one at |

The boys were arranged IN pairs, one |
on each side of the score board, shooting |

when the signal cease firing was given,
the crack OF rifles was continuous at the
range, while as many as twelve targets
at a time were being shot at hit and

schools.
Some of the scores were excellent and
some very poor, but every SchO0ibOy who
went to the range was enthusiastic over
the work and learned something from
the experience and from the officers and
men of the Army, Marine Corps and Ma
tiOnal Guard. who gave the boys every
possible assistance.
1t was a veritable "SchutZenfeSt" and
men and boys seemed to enter into the
spirit of the occasion with great enthu-
siasm.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION FINDS ROAD GUILTY
OF FAvORITISM.

Washington, Jan. 23.-The Union
Pacific railroad is declared to have
been guilty of unlawful discrimina-
ton in a decision announced yester-
DAY by the interstate commerce com
mission in what are known as the
elevator allowance cases. in which the
Nebraska-Iowa grain, Cromwell Lum-
Der and Grain, Updike Grain, Cavers
Elevator, and Nye, Schneider & Fow-
Ter Grain companies sought repara-
ton from the road for discrimination
in favor of the Union Pacific elevator
allowances at Omaha and Council
Bluffs. With respect to the shipments
involved, the tariff provision requiring
the return to the defendant of the car
within As hours as condition prece-
dent to payment of the allowance, is
held unlawful. The commission says
that the road, though declining to pay
this to the complainants, paid the al
lowance to their competitors. Repair
alton aggregating $12,524, and interest
is allowed.

TRAIN RUNS OVER
MAN NEAR bASCO
OSWALD CLAPP OF FITCHBURG
KILLED ON ILLINOIS CENTRAL
ROAD YESTERDAY.
HEAVY FOG PREVENTED HIM
FROM SEEING oN-RUSHING
ENGINE

Monroe, Jan 23.-OsWald Clapp oil
Fitchburg Dane county, aged so, was
struck by a southbound train on the
Illinois Central road near Basco short
ly after 1880 O'Clock yesterday, and
died of the injuries an hour later at
hospital in this city. The train left
Madison at o'clock.
From all appearances Clapp was
walking north on the track from Basco
towards Fitchburg. He was found by
Henry Leon, agent at Basco. HIS
ribs were broken and there was had
scar on his head. He was placed on
the train and taken to Monroe hos
pital, where he died of the injuries.
The victim lived with his sister,
Mrs. Ferguson, at Fitchburg. In add
ton he is survived by another sister
in South Dakota and four brothers,
Arthur, who resides at Boone, Iowa;
George in Nebraska, Jean at James
vile, and a fourth, H c. Clapp, near
Verona The latter came to Monroe
last night to take charge of the re-
mains. The Clapp family formerly re-
sided at F'itchburg. The father died
nine years ago, and the mother in
1904
1t is believed that the heavy fog pre-
vented him from seeing the on-rushlng
train.

DIAMOND CUTTERS
MEET REBUFF
COURT HOLDS THAT BELGIAN
WORKERS MAY ENTER
UNITED STATES.

Washington, Jan. 23.-By virtue of
an important decision affecting the
diamond cutting and polishing indus
try in this country, rendered by the de-
partment of commerce and labor yes
terday, eight Belgian diamond cutters,
whom the diamond workers protect
i've union of America succeeded ia hav-
ing detained at Ellis island on the
charge that they had been brought to
this country in violation of the con-
tract labor law, are allowed to enter
the United States. The decision
holds that the diamond workers union
of this country is "unAmerican in
character, in that it is composed al
most exclusively of foreigners, and
their stringent rules practically pro
hibit Americans from becoming mem
bers by limiting the number OF ap-
prentices that can be taken into the
trade to 10 per cent. of the total mem
bership.'
Although about 80 per cent. of the
worlds diamonds are sold in this
country, according to the evidence sub
mitted, there are only 325 diamond
workers here, all members of the
American union, whereas there are
about 10000 in Antwerp and Amster-
dam. The union, it was claimed in
the hearing, had succeeded in keeping
others from coming in.
"The union which heretofore has
heen invrlnerahle. will now cease to
be a factor in controlling diamond
labor in this country and thousands
of Americans will now learn the
trade" said M. C. Ansorge of New
York, who represented the Belgian
government in the case.
