HOME RULE BILL
I'M HOUSE OF LORDS
Passed in House of Commons
But May Meet Opposite
Fate There.

United Press Leased Wire Service. ]
LONDON, Jan. 17-Ulster men to-
day were basing their hopes on the
house of lords. where the home rule
bill now Is awaiting the second read
ing. 1t was thought to be certain
that the lords would reject the meas
ure, giving the Asquith or third home
rule bill the same treatment as that
accorded the second measure, which
likewise was passed by the commons.
But the governments big majority,
10 votes, by which the home rule bill
passed last night, heartened the ma
tionalists who were confident thai
they could in time ram home rule
down the throats" of the lords.
"The lords still have teeth, but we
all know they cannot bite" was the
significant utterance with which John
Redmond, nationalist leader, closed
his speech on the bill.
But while Irishmen were jubilating,
news from Ulster was ominous From
Belfast came word tina. Ulster was
determined to fight before submitting
to home rule. 1t was said that one
man was in dying condition today
as the result of las. nights anti-home
rule demonstration in Belfast. He
was shot In the back while thousands
of Orangemen gathered around the
city hall and burned copy of the
home rule BILL
Though 4. is foregone conclusion
that the house of lords will reject the
Asquith bill, the nationalists are con
fident that they can force Irish home
rule by virtue OF the so-called veto
act that recently became law.
BY the veto act, any measure par.
ed three times by the commons over
the rejection OF the lords, automatic
ally becomes a law.
The veto act virtually nullifies the
| power Of the lords and 1t was that to
which John Redmond referred wher

dent that they could hold their ma
