IRELAND Is VERY
NEAR HOME RULE

London, July 31.-(Special.)-Iris
Secretary Burrell, addressing the
Eighty club, composed of younger lib
erals. told them they probably are near
er than any of, them imagines to
settlement of home rule. by which eacn
of the three Kingdoms will have
charge of Its own local affairs.
Mr.. Burrell. representing Ireland ana
her demands, is member of the con-
ference of leaders, which still continues
and every one has connected this dec
laration of his with what has been go
ing on behind the doors of conference.
The Daily Express, hitherto fierce
opponent OF home rule. came out yes
terday with a strongly sympa thetic
pronouncement
But most significant of all is the
tenor of the talk among the Tories IN
the house of commons. The younger
Tories, and a good many of the elder
ones. are weary of being tied TO the
coat tails of the Ulster Orangemen.
An Irish nationalist leader, whose
name would command respect every
where If he permitted It's, use here,
said
1T would create a political sensa-
ton If ! told you who the Tories are,
especially those of the younger school,
who have come to say they would ac-
cept home rule now. 1t Is the most
remarkable change in political senti-
ment that have known in my time,
and 1t is the healthiest, for 1t Is spon-
taneous
1T remains now only for the con-
ference to show why there should be
home rule. and the Irish question will
be settled at last
II have never known a political Sec
ret to be better kept than that of the
conference doings. 1t Is difficult to
believe that the members OF the con-
ference are Indifferent to the influences
now working in the Tory party. Per-
haps the prediction that one of King
Georges first acts after his coronation
may be to open the Irish parliament IN
College Green. Dublin. may not prove
as far fetched az 1t may seem to those
not In the know"

reached the point 90 yards from the
Presidents front perch, where secret

Sloan's suspicious were Immediately
aroused, the more SO since the caller
began to grow excited.
What is 1t that you want to see him
about?" demanded Sloan.
II wish to talk with him on religious
Matters" declared Schubell.
We'll. I'm sorry" said Sloan, but
it Is impossible for the President to
see you this morning. Come on now,
take a walk with me-
The man offered no resistance, and
walked with Sloan over to the stable,
where, on examination, the big hammer
was located under Schubelrs coat. An
automobile carried him to the lookup.

is probable that the route may be
used. The cashier of the bank and one
or two others will make the initial trip
to pass on the feasibility of the plan
for prompt transportation between the
communities.
A prominent merchant here has DEM
strated that 1t Is not necessary to fur
nish customers with meat in order to
make crop. II. b. Ward has bought
only 200 pounds of bacon since January
!. as against $500 pounds monthly last
year. He mas used large quantities of
rice and cooking oil which seems to serve
every purpose and on which the negroes

Never having to buy but 10 pounds of

disappointment was felt by the fans

was equally great

satisfaction they obtained for their ad-
mission fee was the undOubted assur-
ance that the Angel players will be in
the running for the Coast league flag
at all stages Of the race. Every man
showed up in classy form and played
with that ginger and snap that is de-
sired of them when the flag race is on.
Gin at first and Roth at third handled
themselves like veterans and got away
with many difficult chances without a

other RUDE Ellis in running and bat
ting The fielding was brilliant at all
times, although it was the first game
of the season, and the fact that every
player, even the pitchers. stung the
BAH hard and generally with good ef-
feet caused many to discount all talk
about tho Angels being weaker than
last year.
All the boys are hitting the bali
with good effect and every position
seems TO be filled with a high class
player. Such great form so early in
the season is not 10 be expected and
it gives the fans much justification in
the hope that the bunting will be re
turned to the southland when the
schedule runs out next November.
