ARRANGEMENT is BELIEVED IN
SIGHT over the HOME RULE BILL
Indication After Between Leaders Most Concerned
And the King at Buckingham Palace
Another Meeting to Come

people who do not understand English
conditions it might have looked as
though the monarchy was threatened In
England the balance of power is so ad-
justed that all factors are remorselessly
jealous of anything that looks like an
attempt of one branch of the govern
ment to trespass on the prerogatives of
another branch. The British bulldog is
jealous of his rights in his own kennel,
and the growlings of the Liberal papers,
which get their inspiration from the
members of Parliament, do not mean i'm
portant antagonism to the King, but
merely warning-"Keep your own place
and don't try to put your paw on my
bone"
The Standard publishes an important
statement "at the request of high au-
thority in close touch with court cir
Giles" declaring that the King is getting
annoyed at the action of certain news
papers in bringing his name into the
home rule controversy and especially at
the assertion that he would refuse royal
assent to the home rule bill unless 1t was
accompanied by the amending bill.
''On the contrary" says the state
meut, His Majesty in conversation
with his ministers and personal friends
has been careful never to disclose mis-
own opinion on the Home Rule. His
Majesty is keenly alive to the danger
Of reparations in Ireland for armed
conflict and to the perils that hasty
action or a slight departure from dis
cipline on either side might plunge
England into the horrors of civil war.
His Majesty was influenced wholly by
a desire to maintain peace in Ireland"
The speech of King George already
has provoked bitter press polemics and
seems destined to revive the cid con-
troversy about royal interference in
political affairs. The immediate ques-
ton which comes to the front is wheth-
er the King prepared and delivered the
speech on his own initiative; whether
it wes after consultation and with the
acquiescence of responsible ministers;
or whether, as the extremists do not
hesitate to suggest under the direct
influence of the Carsonites.
All the morning newspapers in their
editorial comments seize on the phrase
in the speech "the cry of civil war is
on the lips of the most responsible
ard sober minded of my people; and
while the Unionist journals described
the speech as a noble and patriotic APP
peal which will rally the nation be-
hind the throne, the Liberal organs
frankly accuse the King of exceeding
his prerogatives.

WOOD LOTS Of
new HAMPSHIRE
FROM The AXE
Speakers at 9Th Annual
Forestry Meeting
At Gorham

Gorham, n. H, July 21.-Immediate
relief from high taxation is necessary
to save the wood lots on New Hamp-
shire farms from extinction, according
to speakers at the sixth annual for
estry conference in the White Noun
tains today. These small timber lots
comprise half the lumber supply of
the state, it was brought out. They
are being cut off rapidly each year be-
cause of the high tax rates. During
the day the forest taxation laws of
Massachusetts, Connecticut and Yer
mont were described by Prof. Charles
j. Bullock of Harvard University,
Prof. H. C. Chapman of the Yale For
est School and Austin F. Halves, state
forester of Vermont.
A topic of interest to lovers of out
of-door life was presented tonight by
James P. Taylor, secretary of the
greater Vermont Association, who
told of the beginning of a system of
trails which it is hoped will form a
sky line tour of New England,
One hundred and fifty miles of this
trail has already been completed along
the Green mountain range from Mount
Killington to Sterling mountain. said
Mr. Taylor This will be connected with
a system of loop and cross trails joining
every Vermont town in the trail system.
The Green mountains, he explained.

forms a bridge to the White mountains

necticut valley to meet the Vermont
pleted, there will be a continuous wood

shires and then on through the Itch

THE TEXAS COMPANY
ISSUES A STATEMENT

New York, July 21.-The legal de-
partnent CT the Texas Co, today is
sued this statement regarding the anti
trust suit filed at Atoka, Okla.
There has been no consolidation of
competing companies or combination
in restraint of trade. The Texas Com
pany itself is not in the business of
producing oil, but is az purchaser,
transporter. refiner and marketer. Pro
ducers oil companies tales leases, drills
and produces.
1t would not violate any antitrust
statute for the Texas to own the produce
ers outright. The two are not COMPETE
tors and never We're. AS far as the rela-
lions of the Texas Co. and Central Petro-
leum Co. are concerned, it is considered
sufficient to say that these resulted from
compromise of a lawsuit in the federal
court

London, July 21.-In compliance with
the Kings summons, which all speak
of as a command" the leaders most
vitally concerned with a settlement of
the home rule deadlock, met at Buck
ingham palace today for the purpose
of trying to reach an agreement.
The King received them with a
speech which was framed by the prime
minister. In this speech the King
pointed out the seriousness of the sit
uation and the narrow margin of diff
ference which now exists and express
ed the hope of a friendly settlement
of all difficulties.
The eight leaders, some of them who
were not on speaking terms, included
John Redmond and John Dillon who
never before had come into personal
contact with the King. They discussed
the situation for more than an hour
and then adjourned.
The mere fact that they will have
another meeting shows that as far as
the principals are concerned an ar
rangement is in sight.
The Conservatives have the Ulster
covenanters, represented in the con-
ference by Sir Edward Carson and
Capt. James Craig to reckon with and
Premier Asquith cannot deliver any
goods without the consent Of the
home rule leaders, Redmond and Dill
lon. Moreover, the Labor party is in
revolt
The fact that the prime minister
considered it necessary to resort to
such conference is viewed by his
opponents as virtual surrender on
his part. His opponents prophesy that
he will consent to Sir Edward Car
sons ultimatum of a clear-cut eXclu-
sion of the whole of Ulster from the
projected new Irish government.
Parliamentary experts assert that II
such an agreement is laid before the
House of Commons 1t will be defeated be-
cause Mr. Asquiths majority is depend
ent upon the Irish and Labor members
and all the Irish and Labor members,
with at least 30 boiling Liberals. will
vote against it. Under those conditions
a general election must follow, and so
convinced are the Unionists of a genera!
election that they have sent messages
to all the party workers to be prepared
for such an election within three weeks.
Messages from all parts of ireland say
that the Nationalists and the Orangemen
are absolutely at the fighting point and
will not listen to talk of compromise.
There was an outburst against the
King by the Liberal papers today. To

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE OF
UNITED STATES
is OPTIMISTIC
In Review Emphasizes
Bright Prospects
For Crops

Washington. July 21.-In a review
of agricultural and business conditions
sent TO its members last night the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States emphasized the bright prospects
for bumper crops this year and re-
ported a general feeling of optimism
over what the future has in store, in
spite of present depression in man
ufaeturing, mining, lumber and rail-
road centers. The chambers conclu-
sions, prepared at the headquarters
here, were based upon data gathered
from all parts of the country
1T is rather remarkable said the
review, that in most sections, even
in manufacturing sections where
business conditions are at their worst,
there is much optimism of the imme-
tdiate future, and a general feeling
that with normal crops there will be
very great improvement in all bust
ness matters during the remainder of
this year.
Manufacturing is exceedingly quiet
throughout the country. Mining, near
ly all kinds suffers from strikes and
lack of demand. Lumber interests are
feeling the dearth of building, es-
,pecially in small towns and in the
country The railroads, because of de-
creasing revenues and increasing ex-
penses, have cut down their forces as
far as possible and laid off many
trains, in the interest of economy.
These conditions have, naturally, bred
much apprehension, conservatism and
pessimism in districts where these in
,dustries are the principal sources of
revenue to the inhabitants. This is
particularly true in the middle and
New England states and in some of
the large manufacturing centers of
the West and South.
Against these unfavorab BILE eondi-
tons, the situation of agriculture is
most encouraging, despite drought
conditions that have prevailed more
or less extensively in the spring and
summer in widespread sections. Wide
ly extended rains in the latter part
of June and early in July have put a
new phase upon affairs"
