HOME RULE BILL ADVANCED
Passes Second Reading by Vote Of
372 to 27f.

London, May 10.-The government
carried the home rule on it's second
reading in the house of commons by a
majority of 101. as against "a for the
first reading. The vote was 372 to
271.
II was the most largely attended
house at the present parliament. Both
sides had done their utmost to secure
every available vote. Mr.. Balfour, for
mer opposition leader, and Mr.. Chur-
chill, first lord of the admiralty, re
turned from Weymouth to be present.
The committee stage OF the home
rule bill Is not expected to be reached
until after Whitsuntide and probably
will occupy a couple OF months, even
with a liberal application of the cio-
sure rules, as the opposition is pre-
pairing an endless list OF amendments
and will adopt every possible means
to obstruct the measure.

Washington, May 12.-Edward j.
Williams of Scranton, Pa, testifying
before the house judiciary committee
In the hearing of charges against
Judge Robert d. Archibald of the CON-

maze OF contradictory statements that
almost bafied the committee.
Williams, who was a partner with
Judge Archibald in an alleged effort to
procure culm bank property from the
Erie railroad. was particularly con-
fused about an assignment contract
executed last September with ". p.
Boland OF Scranton In which Judge
Archibald was referred to as a silent

but asserting a copy Of the contract

he signed. and finally declaring he
had no good recollection about 1t.

PENSION RECORDS SHOWN.

nounce Roosevelt's Acts.

h0dtNO U00oSwCsAS HStoa
President Taft's attitude toward pen
sions for the veterans of the civil wal
has been persistenly misrepresented
throughout this entire campaign by his
opponents. Recently Representative
Cyrus Sulloway Of New Hampshire,
for many years chairman OF the COM
mittee on pensions of the house of rep
resentatives, went on record publicly
In favor Of President Taft and against
Mr.. Roosevelt, basing his judgment
solely on the pension record Of the two
candidates. Now Representative Isaac
r. Sherwood Of Ohio, author Of the
"dollar a day. pension bill, with which
every cid soldier is familiar. adds his
testimony In favor Of President Taft
and against Colonel Roosevelt on the
pension record. The fact that General
Sherwood Is a Democrat only adds to
the effectiveness of his statement, as
his sole interest between Republican
candidates is to see to 1t that the In
terests of the old soldiers are fully and
amply protected. In a recen letter to
his brother he wrote:
What I said about President Taft was
that l believed he would sign a moderate
pension bill that would cost about 15.000,-
600. But President Roosevelt for all the
time my dollar a day pension bill was
pending In the pension committee, for al
most four years. would not allow the bill
to be reported to the house. He favored.

Washington, May 12.--The makeup
Of the Republican national convention,
&c far as the original selection of dele
gates can determine it, will be prac-
tically settled within a week. The
widely divergent claims of Taft and
Roosevelt managers make it apparent,
however, that a determination of the
actual control of the convention Is
impossible in advance of the meeting
of the national committee June 6. The
committee will take up at that time
contests involving the seats of at least
164 delegates and 1t is not unlikely
that additional contest cases will be
begins work.
Up to the present 7S6 Of the 1,07S
delegates to Chicago have been chos-
en-, according to Roosevelt estimates,
while the Taft forces record twenty
less. The differences arise over Mary
land, where the Taft managers declare
the control of sixteen delegates will
not be cleared until the state conven-
ton, and Kansas. where the Roose-
welt records show fourteen have been
chosen and the Taft records ten.
Representative Mckinley, head of
the Taft campaign, claimed 483 dele
gates for the president, and conceded
237 to Roosevelt. Senator Dixon, man
ager for Colonel Roosevelt, claimed
319 for Roosevelt and conceded 143 to
Taft.
The Roosevelt managers contend
that ia delegates are uninstructed,
including eighty-eight from New York,
and that 164 are contested. Both cam.
paign committees, in their tables, give
Senator La Toilette thirty-six dele
gates and Senator Cummins ten.
Preparations for the two weeks bat
tie at Chicago over the seating of con-
tested delegations are being completed
rapidly by the attorneys for both fac
tons. While but few contests have
been filed thus far with the national

torneys will be ready with all of the
cases by May 20, the date on which
the papers must be before the commit

President Taft's appointment of Miss

which the new child bureau will be
administered.
One Of the most interesting features
of the concentrations which the presi-

for this important work has been the
voluntary expressions from women Of
the highest rank In the nation for hui
man conservation. Among those who

are Rev. Anna H.. Shaw of New York,
