LORDS MEET
ON HOME RULE
Desultory Debate Prepare
tory to Rejection of
Measure
THE PEERS ARE
OUT IN FORCE
Vote Not Likely To Be
Taken Until Thursday
Afternoon

London, Jan. 2s.--The Irish Home
Rule bill came up for second reading and
debate in the House of Lords yesterday
afternoon. The measure was passed in
! the Commons ten days ago, with the
overwhelming majority Of ITO for the
government.
1t is not likely that the Lords will
reach a vote on the bill before Thursday,
/ That the Lords would reject the bill
was certain. Under the veto act, Pre-
mier Asquith will merely have to get
his present bill through the Commons
three times and it will automatically be-
come a law, regardless of the Lords re-
iections.
The Asquith bill will be offered in the
next Parliament, which convenes in Feb
ruary, and again next year, il the Lords
reject ii a second time
Regardless Of the sutfragette question
in the Commons, the House of Lords was
packed at noon and the galleries were
crowded. The full house consists of
63e members, and so we'll had the Mar
quis of Lansdowne and the opposition
whips done their work that more than
$50 peers were in their seats and it was
expected that at least 500 would be there
to vote.
Determined to smash the bill by the
biggest possible majority, Lansdowne
summoned his followers from far and
wide, and scenes similar to th2se which
marked the famous Budget debate of
1909 were witnessed in palace yard.
Time after time the policemen on duty
stopped and questioned peers whose
faces were unfamiliar and who are never
seen in the House except on state occa
sions, when they can be recognized by
their robes.
Age and infirmities made no difference
and the crowds OF spectators had repeat
ed opportunities to cheer or jeer, ac
cording to whether their sympathies |
were Conservative or Liberal, as de- |
crepit old statesmen were helped from |
their automobiles.

NEXT STEP IN

Congress Awaits the Deci-
ision of the Supreme Court
in the Matter

| Washington, Jan. 2s.-The next great
| development in the question of conserva-
| ton of waterpower and the control OF
waterpower projects by public attorney,
will apparently be a battle in the courts
to determine where the federal iuris-
diction begins and the state jurisdiction
ends. II is becoming more and more
apparent that until the supreme court
passes on this question it will be inn
possible TO get any concert of action
in Congress in this highly important
matter. The Connecticut river dam case
which is up in the Senate now is an
illustration The Niagara Falls bill
which is pending in the House is an
other.
With numerous interests at stake, the
state of New York, according to in
formation here, will go to the courts

General Carmody for the state, before

tie.
A powerful and able school of lawyers
in Congress maintains that the state
and not the federal government has the
authority to control waterpower arising
from the damming of navigable streams.
But it is remarkable fact that the
states have not exerted their rights.
Big waterpower rights have been TAX
en- out under the noses of the state au-
thorities, and the states have exacted
no compensation and not attempted, as
a rule, to exercise control over rates.
But it is clear some of the states are
stirred up and are going to insist on
control if they have it, 1t would mean
heavy revenue to some of them. The
case of the keokuk dam in Iowa is an
The state is getting moth
ing out of that vast project, one of
the greatest in the world. Talk here,
however is that the legislature and the
state authorities will give close study
to ascertain if the state can expect
control and it is not at all improbable
a legal battle will result there.

NEW HAVEN-GRAND
TRUNK REPORT TO
BE READY SOON
Federal Grand jury Nearly Through
With Its NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. In
dictments Are Thought
Probable.

New York, Jan. 2s.--The federal at
torneys who have been conducting the
reinvestigation of the alleged monopoly
agreement between the New Haven and
the Grand Trunk roads said yesterday
that they expected report from the
grand jury before the end of the week
The work of the jury is proceeding
rapidly, because nearly all the witnesses
testified at the previous investigation
and many of them are required only to
hear their former testimony read and
to affirm its correctness.
Interest in the investigation centres
in the possibility that if new indict-
ments are found they may charge addi-
tional offenses and include other de-
PENDANTS besides Charles s. Mellen, f.
j. Chamberlin and Alfred W. Smithers,
officers of the two railroads who were
indicted by the previous jury.

terday transmitted to the pardon com

for the pardon of Cardenio f. King, for
mer financial agent who is serving a
term of from 10 to IL years for larceny

The governor said he was in favor of
granting the petition because he had
been advised that Kings physical con-
dition is such that continued detention
in prison will seriously endanger his
life.
The governor attaches the condition
that if the prisoner is pardoned he shall

London, Jan. 2T.--The four days de-
bate in the second reading stage of the
House of Lords last evening. The adop-
ton and the rejection of the measure
were moved in speeches along familiar
lines by the Marquis Of Crewe and the
Duke Of Deyonshire, respectively. As
the rejection OF the bill in the House of
Lords is certain, and as its defeat will
produce no immediate political conse-

TO the second squad and tried them
that way for a time The result was
the same on line bucks but on end

enabled them 10 make a better show
ing than the scrubs, although they
were hampered by the weak line of
the seconds. which let the men
through every time.
Capt Rowe was out of the scrim-
mage Wednesday owing TO an injured
arm. The arm was slightly hurt in
the games with st. Joseph, and was
further aggravated last Saturday in
the Lagrange game. The injury is
nothing serious, but Metzler decided
to take no chances Of injuring the
member in a scrimmage. Rowe Will
