REUNION OF IRIsH.AMERICANs

Everything is in readiness for
Irish-American day at Riverview
Park next Monday and the commit
tee OF arrangements expect to draw a
record crowd to this popular resort,
some OF the committee being the
same which promoted Hibernian day
at this same park couple of years
ago, drawing a Fourth OF July crowd
of 22,500 people, which is the record
The Hibernians are only part of the
contingent promoting Irish-American
day, as it is intended to be a reunion
of every man, woman and child in
the city who has a drop of Celtic
blood in his or her veins, no matter
of what religious persuasion.
One of the special features of the
day will be the tug-of-war contest
between a team from Limerick under
the leadership of John II. Hennessy
and a team from Portland under the
of Thomas Dolan, the ath-
letic Instructor from the West End
This has been a much mooted ques-
tion in Irish-Amerlcan circles for
some time as to who turns out the
Limerick, and after much discussion
and signing of articles the following
have been signed to pull the others
head off or move out of their re-
spective neighborhoods;
Limericks-Martin Joyce, John
O'Donnell, Jerry Hallihan, Robert
Mitchell, Thomas Dignan and
Thomas Farrell.
Portlands - William Murphy,
Thomas Noone, John Maloney, Hugh
Hourigan, Roger Nohalty and Martin
Sheehan.
Many wagers have been made on
the result of the tug and the pro-
moters of Irish-American day will
arrange to give banquet to the win
ners of the event. II goes without
saying that the followers of both
teams will be on hand in large num-
bers to cheer their respective favor
ties, and in connection with this 1t
is expected to have space set aside
for the contestants and officials only,
as at a similar contest some time
ago the spectators became so en-
thused that they took a hand, caus-
Ing the match to be declared off and
the championship still unsettled.
Hence the arrangement to settle 1t
next Monday.
Two other features sure to create
some interest are the reel dancing
and waltzing contests, for which
handsome prizes are offered, and al
ready some of the light steppers are
entered and are sure to arouse some
enthusiasm among the lovers OF the
terpsichorean art. The Committee OF
Arrangements is made up as fol-
lows: ID. ]. Coleman, William Muir
ply, A. Tompkins, Joseph f. Farrell,
Thomas Dolan, Thomas Lawler; c. j.

Great Doubt As to Outcome EX-
listed Until Final Mo-
ment.
Lords Can Now Hold Up Home
Rule for Only Two
Years.
PUTS AN END TO CLASS RULE

The Commons triumph over the
House of Lords is regarded as a
momentous event, especially for
ireland, which has reason to look for
the passage of the long fought for
home rule measures for that mis-
governed country. Upon this great
subject there is but one opinion,
aptly expressed by the New York
World, that premier Asquith has
won a great victory. He has dealt
with a historic abuse and helped to
insure to Great Britain truly demo-
cratic government. To the arro-
gance of class rule he has put a
stop. The Lords may hold up home
rule for ireland and halt social re-
form for two years. But they can
not Indefinitely deny to the people
the measures of relief and of prog
ress for which the electors have de-
clared, and their elected representa-
tives in the House of Commons have
made provisions in obedience to the
popular will"
Describing the last stages and the
end of the struggle, Hon. T. p.
.O'Connor, one of the Irish leaders in
the House of Commons, cabled the
following:
"The veto bill fight ended as I
always anticipated 1t would, but II
was closed more easily than either
/ or anybody else thought it would
be. Indeed up to the last moment
OF the last nights debate on Thurs
day nobody knew what was going to
happen. Several times during the
evening the betting changed from
side to side. Now the odds were
five to four on the Lords rejecting
the bill, and then five to four on
surrender. If one speech made two
Peers change from the Tory to the
Liberal side, the succeeding speech
brought two extremists back to Lord
Halsbury's camp. The situation
finally was saved by the large vote
of the Unionists and Bishops in
favor of the Ministry and the desire
of the Tory leaders and the court
influences TO avoid a continuation
OF the crisis and the infliction on the
King OF the disagreeable duty of
sending 500 Liberal Peers into the
House of Lords.
"The Liberals and Irish are
pleased on the whole with this solu-
tion of the veto question, though
they have a lingering desire TO see
the House of Lords transformed from
Tory to a Liberal assembly by the
new Liberal Peers and to secure
thus a reader passage of the home
rule and the other Liberal reforms.
The end of the struggle was received
with the same astounding indiffer-
enee by the public as was nearly
every stage of the whole struggle.
This is partly because the heat
renders everybody apathetic and be-
cause the conclusion was regarded as
foregone."

SHOT DOWN.
Brave Policeman Killed In
Performance of His
Duty.

Officer Michael Baldwin, for
twenty-seven years a member of the
Louisville police force, was shot and
killed while in the performance of
his duty on Friday morning of last
week. He was shot through the
heart by Adam Wallace, negro who
had been frightening residents of the
West End. A few minutes after

Sullivan shot and killed Wallace.
The negro was desperate and fired
three shots at Sullivan before he was
killed. The double tragedy occurred
in the vicinity of Eighteenth and
Eddy.
Officer Baldwin was taking the
negro to Eighteenth and Walnut to
have him identified. At Nineteenth
and Eddy streets Wallace wrested
the revolver from the policeman and
shot him through the heart. With
the smoking revolver in his hand the
desperate negro ran through the
alley toward Eighteenth street.
Patrolmen Sullivan and O'Keefe,
who had been waiting for Baldwin
and his prisoner, heard the shots and
ran toward the alley. They came
face to face with the negro, who
Immediately began firing at Sullivan.
The officer returned the fire and a
bullet through the temple caused the
negro to fall dead. The funeral of
Officer Baldwin took place from St.
Louis Bertrand church on Sunday
Afternoon and was largely attended.
A detail of police acted as pall-bear-
ers and as an escort to the grave.
The deceased was born in Ireland
forty-nine years ago, but came to
Louisville when quite a young man.
He was regarded as a brave and
fearless officer. He resided at 1874
Oldham street and is survived by his
wife and the following children:
Nellie, Catherine, John, Mary and
Regina Baldwin. and a sister, Mrs.
Thomas Mclaughlin, of 500 East
Madison street.
