REDMOND SATISFIED.
Says Home Rule VIII FOHo1O
Reform of Lords.

Dublin, Jan. 21.-Speaklng tonight at
Rathmnes, a suburb of this city, John
Redmond said that recently there had been
a deal of nonsense in the newspapers to
the effect that Premier Asquith had modi-
fled the pledge he had given to Ireland in
his Albert Hall Oondon) speech concerning
Home Rule for Ireland.
Perhaps Mr.. Asquith is not as an en-
thusiastic home ruler as 7 should like, but
he is perfectly straight and candid in ev-
erything he has said. and il was not mod
ifcation but a reiteration of his pledge.
HE says he will be free in the coming
Parliament, as he was not in the last Par
lament, to support a measure giving full
self-government in purely Irish affairs to
Ireland subject to the maintenance Of the
supremacy of the imperial Parliament.
We In ireland not such fools i'm
beetles as to ask Mr.. Asquith and the Lib
eraI party to introduce a Home Rule bill
before they have dealt with the veto of
the House of Lords. When that great OBJ
stacle is removed there is no fear for the
future of the Irish question. Abolish or
limit the Lords vote, and L would like to
see a Liberal party, and I care not what
its majority, that would dare deny to Irish
men their right to home rule. With that
veto gone the first friendly House of Com
mons elected would carry home rule

VIEWS OF PACKERS.

Stock Rmsers.
IRy Telegraph 70 The Tribune J

Omaha, Jan. 2i.--The farmers and stock
rsisers OF the country, and not the packers,
will be the losers in case meat prices are
lowered by the anti-meat eating crusade,
according 10 interviews given out here to-
day by the managers Of three of the big
packing companies operating in South
Omaha.
Mr. Finney. general manager Of the Ar
naour company, said: IF the movement
grows 10 such size that the price of meat
is affected the price Of livestock will have
20 so down spondingly. And while
prices can be lowered by the crusade 1t
will have 10 be q mighty big movement TO
produce any effect at ALL
Edward A. Cudahy. head Of the Cudahy
company, said: People will Just have TO
eat less meat If they are TO get what they
eat at lower prices. Present high prices
are due 10 the fact that the supply is not
equal to the demand
Mr.. Culver. general manager of the Ma
fianal plant said: I'VE Will be glad to see
the people quit eating meat Tor month.

the price OF meat the price OF livestock
will fall with IT."

SOCIAL COOPERATION
Professor Patten on Prosperity
and Ne7c Living Standards.

Philadelphia. Jan 2l.-That the constantly
growing standard of living among Ameri-
cans is partly responsible for the present
high cost Of living. and that in social CO.
operation lies the remedy, is the opinion of
Professor Simon y. Patten, of the Whar-
ton School of Finance and Economics of
the University of Pennsylvania.
The subject is one Of many ramifica-
TONS" said Professor Patten. ''and the rea-
sons for existing conditions are manifold.
Society has got itself In the complication,
hut not far enough 10 know what il is
going 10 do. or to resolve upon a means OF
adjusting prices to fit all purses.
There is no doubt but that the combina-
lions controlling food and other commodi-
ties make the high prices. They are only
taking advantage of natural conditions, and
reaping the profit that could be dissent
mated among the consumers if they could
bring themselves to act as a unit. Pros
perity has wrought great changes in the
mode Of living in America, and shrewd
business men have taken advantage of
these changes. Their combinations TO
handle products in large quantities has not
resulted in evil entirely to the people, al
though some classes have been less bene-
fte6 than others

PITTSBURG GRAFT,
Tzco Bankers Suddenly Turn
States Evidence.
IBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

PlttSburg, Jan. 21.-Another sensational
chapter was added to the graft cases to-
day when h. II. Jennings. president,
and Frank A. Griffin, former vice
president, of the Columbia National Bank.
turned states evidence at a hearing he
fore Alderman j. V. McMasters, against
Frank F. Nicola, an extensive real estate
dealer: Max G. Leslie. delinquent county
tax collector. and Charles Stewart, former
member of the Finance COMMITTEES of the
Pittsburg Councils.
The last three men were held for court
under a bond of $1,000 in Leslie's case and
$4,000 in the other two. Jennings and
Griffin are both under ball. but waived a
hearing. 1t was alleged to-day that the
price the Columbia Bank was to pay for
being named as city depository was
raised from N7,50o to $4,000. in instalments,
which were paid to Leslie, who acted as
go-hetween for the bank and members of
Councils. Jennings and Griffin testified
that they met Nicola at the Duquesne Club
early in May, and later at Grihin's home.
where Nicola told them that if they want
ed the Columbia Bank named as a demos
itory they would have to pay SlI,,rN. and
do 1t quickly. as other banks were anxious
to pay the price.
Griffin was later introduced to Council
man Stewart at Nicolas Office, he said
where Stewart told Griffin $3.50 was the
price named by members of Councils Grif-
I'm ard Jennings said they refused TO nav
anything, and Jennings told Nicola he mad
"sweated blood" during the panic, and he
washed his hands OF the whole affair.
Griffin. however. attempted TO retain
the city deposits which his bank had had
for four years, and. among others, he an
preached Max Leslie, he said The latter
said he would get the deposits for the bank
and 1t would have nothing 10 pay
Leslie later told Jennings and Griffin IL
was testified. 1.-The boys up at CITY Han
won't so along without pay, and 7 will
have TO have s22,5eo to get your bank se-
lected."
Jennings refused to pay the price. he said.
but reconsidered It, and Leslie then told
him ii would cost $4,000 IL was then d..
cided to pay before the price got too high
The evidence to-day was altogether mr.,
expected by Leslie. Nicola and Stewart
who were apparently stricken dumb. The
District Attorney made Griffin repeat a
statement that since their arrests Nicola
had called him by telephone and asked.

PRESS COMMENT.
Government VIII Be Handi-
caDped. UniOnists Sau.

London, Jan. 21.-The Unionst press al
ready is rejoicing that the Asquith Cabinet
will be powerless to pass any revolutionary
or socialistic measures attacking property
and that the power of the extremist sec
ton of the Ministry, represented by Da-
vid Iloyd-George and Winston Spencer
Churchill. has been effectively clipped. 1t
rejoices also that the government will be
compelled TO pursue policy of moderation
under the tutelage of the Laborite and Irish
parties.
The Spectator" says that to put the net
results of the election in a sentence, the
country has decided to deprive the Liberals
of the power of doing harm through social
istc legislation and at the same time has
declared its unwllingness fundamentally to
alter the present fiscal system.
With the imperative task of passing two
budgets early I'm the year, The Standard
points out that it will be impossible for the
Ministers to get a budget through unless
they can square themselves with the Ma
tionaists. and that, as ii is we'll known
that the Irishmen strongly resent the
Lloyd George budget. Mr.. Asquith will have
TO pay a heavy price for their sanction
THE Morning Post" devotes an article to
producing election statistics to disprcve the
Liberal contention that the big manufact-
uring cities have declared against tariff
reform. The newspaper says It NAV be
true that they have not declared decisively
I'm favor of tariff. but, taking the first
sixteen cities voting. they are divided pretty
evenly between free traders and reformers
THE Daily Telegraph In an editorial
contends that the polling fully justified the
action of the House OF Lords in referring
the budget to the opinion of the country.
and asserts that if Mr.. Asquith dares in
troduce bill to paralyze tho House OF
Lords, the latter house certainly will re-
ject it. Then. THE Telegraph" adds. there
must either be another dissolution in a
month or two or the government must seek
power from the King to create at least
five hundred peers.
Even on the unlikely assumption that
the King would consent" says the news-
paper, where will tho ministers get their
five hundred peers? If selected from tho
Commoners 1T would necessitate in minia
ture general election to replace them
with possibly disastrous results 20 the Lib
eral party. and ii they pick up the new
peers from byways and ditches II will maka
the House of Lords the laughing stock OF
the world" vi

PANIC IN The DARK

Paterson, n. j.. Jan. PA terrific
explosion in the Edison plant here to-day
spread panic in Paterson and Passaic.
Every electric light in both cities went
out, and in the Lyceum Theatre here
the audience seeing the lights vanish as
an explosion shook the house, rushed in
terror for the doors. No red lights
marked the exits. these having been ex-
tinguished with the rest, and for few
moments the confusion was indescriba-
BILE. In department stores, too, there
was panic at first.
Streetcars stopped running in both
cities and for hours everything that de-
pended upon electricity for motion was

burst, was knocked down by a jet of
scalding steam. and lay helpless before
it for half an hour before his plight was
discovered. Four boilers blew up with
ever their pieces fell.
A peculiar feature of the accident was
supplied by Van Hounden's injuries. He
was the furthest from the scene of the
accident of all those who suffered. He
was working on the opposite bank of
the river when the explosion took place.
The steam from the burst pipe shot
across the river with terrific force and
rendered him unconscious. For full
half hour he was subject to the scalding
stream before his plight was discovered
and he was rescued from his perilous
position by fellow employees. who rsked
their own lives in the undertaking.
The noise of the explosion was plainly
heard throughout the entire city, and
the immediate stopping of electric cars
and the failure of electric lights to shine
were indications of the scene of the acci-
dent
In theatres and department stores
there was panic The operatives of the
silk mills along the river manifested
some uneasiness, but their fears were
quieted and they were allowed to go to
