Want Elections on Monday.
If travelling men Of Iowa secure
what they say they want in the way OF
a change of the day for voting SO that
it will be on Monday instead of Tues
day, the state constitution will have to
be amended. The constitution now pro-
vides that all elections shall be on
Tuesday. The plan is to have the day
for federal elections changed to Mon
day. When this is done Iowa should
be in a position to make the change to
a Monday election, and this Is the pur-
pose Of proposed amendment to the
state constitution. 1t will be some
years before the machinery has been
worked around to effect the change.

HOME RULE BILL
CAUSED DEBATE
NOTABLE SPEECHES By BALFoUR
AND ASQUiTH FEATURE DIS
CUSTOM OF MEASURE.

London, Jan 16.-The starting yes.
terday of the home rule bill on its I'm.
al stage in the house of commons was
the occasion for two speeches which
seldom have been excelled in the
house. one by Prime Minister Asquith
and the other by Mr.. Balfour, former
leader Of the opposition. Debate final
ly was adjourned until today when a
division will be taken.
When the orders of the day were
called, Mr.. Balfour at the request Of
the opposition leader, Andrew Bonar
Law, moved the rejection of the meas
ure.
Mr.. Balfour delivered one Of those
telling speeches for which he Is fam.
Gus. Dealing with the bill in a gener-
al way, he laid stress on the condition
Of Ulster. which he likened to that Of
the American colonies before the re-
volution. He charged the government
with showing a dangerous want of ap-
probation of that situation, and point
ing his finger at the government bench
he said:
If blood be spilled-which God for
bid-the real assassins will be those
who never had the courage to face the
situation
Premier Asquith pleaded with the
house to forget the past and give Ire.
land what the vast majority demand.
ed. He laid stress on the safeguard
introduced in the bill to prevent the
Professionals from being oppressed by
the majority and repeated the govern.
ment's offer to introduce any other
safeguards if the opposition would out
line what was wanted. He recalled
that Mr.. Balfour had made the same
gloomy predictions when the liberals
gave self-government to South Africa
r. P. O'Connor approved the bill in
behalf of the nationalists. Thomas c.
R. Agar-Roberts, one of the two lib
erals opposing the measure, denounc-
ed the bill as one of coersion and said
that unless the Ulster questions were
settled the bill was foredoomed to
failure.

KuIp Has Road Scheme.
Representative Kulp of Palo Alto

last session. deeply interested In the
problem OF how to make fair start
for permanent roads. He has IN
preparation a bill that will place all
the road funds under one control.
Capitalization with view to unity OF
action and the reduction of waste to
the lowest possible minimum Is the
central idea Of the measure. Il would
put all funds of every kind intended
for road work.. he said, under control
of the state highway commission, so
that the expenditure would be in &C.
cordance with approved plans. There
would be a county engineer who would
map and survey all main travelled
roads and expenditure upon these
roads would all be from some central
county authority. The use Of funds for
township roads would be directed by
local authorities, but these roads would
also be surveyed and mapped. The sur
yeying of main travelled roads would
be subject to direction from the state
highway commission. In this way there
would be some intelligent direction Of
the entire road building business MY
idea is that we must first make suit

husband was one of its ministers. For
the promotion of the work of the
ftmovem ent'' a yacht club was incor-
porated, and yachts were employed in
transporting members of the move
ment back and forth between the
coast of Maine and Jaffa. As to the
nature of this sect, according to plain
tiff's testimony, defendant believed
that God had given him a message
that he (defendant) was the second
Elijah and had come to prepare the
way for the coming of Christ; that
he taught that to the people in the
movement for years, and that they
knew him os Elijah. Later, he said
God gave him messages that the,
Kingdom of God was establishe d
again on earth, and that God made
him know that he was to be king

of Israel scattered out over all the
earth. The plaintiff, with her four
children, sailed to Jaffa in 1905. where
she lived as a member of the colony

she went on board defendants yacht
she would not be let off until she
was won to the movement again, dis

Episcopal Bishop
Describes Mission
Work In Philippines

Mohonk Lake, N Y, Oct. 24.-The
need of extending missionary work
among the Moros and the pagan tribes
of the Philippines was brought to the
attention of the Lake Mohonk Con-
ference of Friends of the Indians and
Other Dependent Peoples Yesterday by
the BIT Rev. Samuel Fellows, Prot
sstant Episcopal Bishop of Chicago.
Bishop Fellows, who spent some
months in the Philippines early this
year, said that the difficulties of the
task were we'll worth surrounding be-
cause these savage tribes were the
widest and most virile and energetic
of the Archipelago
The wild tribes number about 100000
and the followers of Mohammed about
500 600 The Mohammedans include
the Moros, who embrace the Malay
pirates that for more than 300 years
have terrorized the Orient They have
tbeen characterized as a. ferocious, cruel
body of men, treacherous and rapa-
c:ous to the last degree. But yet,
said Bishop Fellows, there is splen-
did human material out of which to
make thoroughly human men and wo-
imen.'
Much hast been done,' he said, "'fo1

Catholic and the Protestant churches
But little effort has been put forth to

Is federal law that a deputy United
States marshal cannot be paid for

Had Done No Wrong.
Considerable correspondence with
the department has resulted to the
marshal, the authorities at Washing
ton practically telling him that al
though advised by the department to
pay his fbailiffs he had done SO lille
gaIIy Marshal Eaw1ey did not feel
like going to his bank and turning
over $1,068, and he made personal
trips to Washington on the matter.
He appeared before the judiciary com
1nittee, which, hearing the evidence
in the matter, said that it could not
see where the marshal had done
wrong; but there seemed to be no
help for the legal situation and the
deficiency bill was resorted to in order
to square the matter up.
LegisIated Out.
Meanwhile Field Deputy Marshal
Parmelee had been 1egislated out of
office-though he never knew it, and
the marshal accepted his resignation
sent from a sick bet-the other field
deputies, Mr.. BlakeT and Mr.. Haw-
ley had been made office deputies on
salaries of $500 a year-a matter of
record-and the fee system had ceas-

MARSHALL HAWLEY HAPPY
One of the Complications Which De-
ficiency Measure viii
Straighten Out.
(Hartford Ti1nes.)

At least one United States marshal
is pleased that President Wilson has
signed the urgent deficiency bill, as
it relieves the mind of United States
Marshal Sidney E. Hawley of Connec-
ticut of considerable worry over ST.
O6S, it being understood at the pres
ent moment that the deficiency bill
carries the amendment of Senator
Frank B. Brandegee providing for
the squaring up of that account with
the government.
Salary and Fees.
Marshal Haw1ey had two federal
court bailiffs, Selah G. Brakeman of
New Haven and Timothy E. Haw1ey
of this city, and he had one field dep
uty marshal, William L. Parmelee of
Bethel. The baiIiffs were paid for
their services by the day and the field
Brafnard Smith, being on a salary.
Considerably more than two years ago
Deputy Parme1ee fell sick and the
marshal, needing assistance in the
conduct of his district, appointed
Messrs. Brakeman and HawIey depu-
ty marshals.
Secured Advice.
He secured advice from the depart
ment of justice in Washington that
he could pay his bai1iffs by the day
when they acted as bailiffs and the
persons in fees when they acted as
deputy marshals. Accordingly, Mar
shall Haw1ey paid out to his bailiffs
