SHAMROCK SAILS
TO TRY FOR cup

Portsmouth, July 1S.-Shamrock ",
Lipton's challenger for the American
cup under convey of the steam yacht
Erin, sailed this afternoon for Fal-
mouth, whence she is to start for the
United States.
1t had been intended to sail the Sham
rock past the royal yacht for inspec-
ton by his majesty, but the change
of program was brought about by post
ponement of the arrival of the king.
The yacht passed through the lines of
the fleet lying here and was given a
hearty send-off by warships, excursion
steamers and yachts. Among Lipton's
eeusts on the Erin is the earl of Ard
wicke. who was transferred to the
Shamrock at Azores and worked his
passage as an able seaman. He hopes
to make good and be given perma-
nent Job as a member of the Sham
rocks racing crew. Hardwicke has
led an adventurous life as a cowboy in
Texas. He comes from seafaring
people and is keen on yachting. The
people of Gosport presented the chal-
lenger with a model of a parrot as
mascot to be percned on the bowsprit
of the yacht while crossing the ocean
The Shamrock also carries a number
of toy monkeys and other objects sent
as mascots.

Settlement of Home Rule
Question Said to Have
Been Reached
REVIEW is POSTPONED
Remains in London to Receive
Reports of Conferences of
Party Leaders.

London, England, July Is. - King
George, who is making great efforts
to bring a settlement of the Irish home
rule crisis. decided this morning to
postpone until later in the day or to-
morrow his proposed visit TO Spit
head, where almost the entire navy of
more than 400 craft of all types is
gathered for the annual review of his
majesty. This he did so he might be
on hand in London to receive reports
of developments Of conferences going
on between various party leaders.
1t is understood. when the opportune
moment arrives, the king will throw
his influence toward the side looking
for an amicable settlement. Belief
prevails that such a settlement is not
far off, and the Liverpool Post, one of
the best informed newspapers on the
government side, says there is really
an arranged settlement of the Irish
question.
Details have yet to be adjusted, but
the broad facts can be regarded as
fixed. Other authorities do not go
quite so far, but satisfy themselves
with the statement there is a near
approach to settlement.

PARENTS Warned
OF BOAT DANCERS
Chicago Education Board Inves-
tigator Points to Moral
Contamination on Lake.

Chicago, Ill, July 1S.-A warning %
parents not to permit unescorted chill
dren to patronize excursion boats on
Lake Michigan, was sounded in re-
port to the board of education Friday
by William l.. Bodine. superintendent
of compulsory education.
The report declared the children
would be in physical danger in case OF
accident and in constant danger OF
moral contamination. The boats are
equipped with life boats and RATS suf-
ficient only TO care for 40 per cent of
the 5000 passengers frequently carried.
the report adds. The great majority
would have to depend on life preserv-
ers. 1t is said.
AS a moral contamination, the re-
port continued: Liberties are taken
with unescorted young girls and unre-
strained rowdyism prevails. Petty
gambling with slot machines. wheels
and paddle games give school children
their first lessons in gambling. Little
tots of six and eight years were found
playing the games"

RUS GOVERNMENT
TO AID EMlCRANT
Bill is Drafted Providing for
Adjustment of Penalties
Heretofore Imposed

ST. Petersburg, July 1S.-Russia is
about to recognize as legitimate the
emigration of her surplus millions to
countries other than those in Europe
and the ministry of commerce today
submitted to the cabinet a bill to abol-
ish some of the penalties hitherto at
taching to unauthorized emigration.
The bill in preamble specially refers
to 2S1,000 emigrants from Russia to
America last year and also to the fact
that $350.000,000 was remitted to Rus
sia in 1918 by Russian subjects who
settled on the other side of the At
lantic In place of inexpensive pass
ports heretofore necessary to every
body desiring to depart from Russia
permits will be issued at cost of only
ten cents.
The fine inflicted on absentees who
have been more than SIX months
abroad will be abolished in the case
of those returning on board Russian
steamers. The bill also provides es-
tablishment of fund to assist emf
grants in Russian ports and abroad
and for the appointment of a special
commission to defend their interests in
foreign countries. Emigration agents
will be liable to Imprisonment for
holding out false inducements to emf
grants.

CAILLAUX CASE IS
SET FOR MONDAY
Slayer of Figaro Editor to Ap-
ply for Divorce No Matter
Outcome of Trial.

Paris, France, July 1S.-The trial of
Madam Caillaux, wife of the former
French premier and minister of finance
for the murder of Editor Calmette of
the Figaro, March 16, will begin Mon
day. The prisoners health appeared
much better today than when she was
arrested. 1t is reported she intends to
apply for a divorce after the trial,
whatever it's outcome, as she is said to
consider by so doing she will show the
greatest mark of love for her husband,
since by remaining with him she
thinks would prove an obstacle to his
political career.
The trial is expected to last at least
five days. The space in court usually
occupied by spectators will be given
up almost entirely TO newspaper men,
142 of whom from all parts of the
world have been allotted places in the
press box. Madame CaillauX's counsel
is Ferdinand Labori. who became fam
Gus as the defender of Captain Drey-
fus.

MRS. CARMAN OUT
OF jAtt ON BOND
Can't Understand Why Jury Re-
fused to Heed Her Plea
to Tell Her Story.

Freeport, n. Y, July 1S.-Mrs. Flor
ence Conklin Carman, indicted yes
terday on the charge Of manslaughter
in the first degree in connection with
the killing of Mrs. Louise Bailey, came
back to her home and her family hers
last night, temporarily free woman
She was released under $4,000 bail
Is minutes after the grand jury made
known its finding to Supreme Court
Justice Van Siclen at Mineola.
She rode around in an automobile
and visited relatives until it was suffi-
ciently dark to prevent a crowd of
curious persons from seeing her fea-
lures as she entered her home.
When Mrs. Carman was led into
the court room yesterday afternoon
for arraignment she plainly showed
the strain she had been under since
her arrest. Her face was wan and
pale.
When the clerk of the court asked
her how she would plead her lips
opened to answer, but MIR. Levy inter-
rupted her.
Upon the understanding that his
client would have the right to with
draw ner plea WIl0ln Two Weeh6 anu
file a demurrer and a motion to quash
the indictment on the ground of INSULT
cient evidence, her counsel entered a
plea of mot guilty"
After the bail bond had been ar
ranged and signed the physicians
wife was led to an ante-room and there
she collapsed. The Jail physician and
her husband administered restora-
tives and then assisted her back
through an underground passage to
the Jail, where she entered a waiting
limousine.
81 can't talk" she said to reporters.
81 am too overcome. / still fail to
understand why the grand jury de-
clined to heed my plea to tell my
story"
District Attorney Smith said he had
new evidence which might later lead
to the finding of superceding indict-
ment charging Mrs. Carman with a
higher degree of homicide.
The district attorney also asserted
that IL certain clews were developed
a member of the Carman household
would be placed under arrest as an
accessory after the fact.
