the company was a "ioint stock asso-

difficult to locate, could be held for
violation Of the law.
Because the government could not
proceed in criminal suits against the
Adams Express Co. as company by
obtaining service Of subpoenas upon
officers all over the country, it brought
suit IN the federal district court at
Cincinnati. A grand jury indicted the
company for alleged overcharges on

London, June 9.-The Irish home
rule bill entered upon its second stage
today when the measure came up for
Its second reading in the house OF
commons under the provisions Of the
parliament veto act, which permits a
bill thrice passed BY the commons to
become a law despite the fact that the
house Of lords may have rejected it.
The bin was rejected BY the lords four
months ago.
The measure which sets up an Irish
parliament in Dublin to deal with ma
tional affairs, while retaining AZ mem
bers at Westminster to vote on i'm.
perial affairs, was passed by the COM
mons on January l6 by majority Of
ITO, but rejected a fortnight later by
the lords BY a majority Of 257. The lib
alLabor-Nationalst coalition was IN
full force today and will have to vote
down all opposition amendments. as
the bill, in order to comply with the
terms Of the parliament act must 90

viii be two days general debate on
the second reading and instead Of the
usual committee stage, Premier AS
Quith has substituted a parliamentary
novelty in suggestion stage during
which the house may pass "suggess
tions" which will be sent up to the
lords with the bin, so that the latter
body can incorporate them as amend
ments if desired.
Only suggestions approved by the
government will be sent up, and as no
compromise is likely to be arrived at,
the bill almost certainly will pass
through its third reading in about a
months time, in its original form. If
as is generally expected. the house Of
lords rejects it again, the bill viii be
re-introduced next spring, and wiz aa.
tomatically become law after its third
