HOUSE OF COMMONS
 STIRRED BY LAW
Re rs When Judici- ary Inquiry Into Naval and Mili-
 tary Movement Is Asked.

London. April 21.--A stormy scene was created in the house of commons today when Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the opposition, demanded 8 Judiciary inquiry into the naval and military movements recently contem- plated by the government in Ulster. The unionists charge that these move- ments constituted a plot to provoke a rising in Ulster.
 Premier AsQuith refused a judicial inquiry, as he said the charges had been proved false; but he challenged MT. Law to make any accusations he wished to make in the house itself, when he would be given the fullest opportunity for discussion.
 Amid tht cheers and angry shouts of their supporters the two leaders took their places alternately at the table, challenging each other.
 Uproar followed MT. Laws declar- ation that the statements made by Premier Asqnith and his colleagues had been proved untrue.
 The scene ended when, amid min- isterial cries of Take your day for discussion MT. Law said that after he had seen what the promised white paper contained he would consider what steps it was worth while to take

During his occupancy of the alder manic chair he has been bitterly op posed on some of his measures and at times even his own party has failed to support him.
 An Unwelcome Candidate.
 Mayor Quigley was first in the fight for the nlayoralty nomination, an- nouncing himself to Herald reporter long before the snow left the ground. He was unwelcome, because of his alleged radical views. The leaders of his own party did not want him as they believed that if he secured the nomination it would mean the wreck of their machine.
 Little encouragement was given his candidacy, but he stuffed his political dogma down the throats of his op- ponents at the general caucus when he was nominated on the second bal lot in a three cornered fight that will be remembered for years to come. He defeated E. w. Schultz, who had the support of the big manufacturers, and Tax Collector Howard M. Steele, one of the most astute politicians and campaigners in the city.
 When the sun rose next day the party IIdu ct ueW ledbSi and only lukewarm support was given him by many of the men who guide the destinies of the G. o. F. locally. He was considered the weakest of the three candidates that sought the nom- ination, but at the polls he swept the entire city and stampeded into office despite the fact that the rock-ribbed republican ward, the third, slashed him right and left at the polls. Native of New Britain. Mayor Quigley was born in New Britain on October 9. 1880. He has spent the greater part of his life here and the number of ballots cast for him at the polls is sufficient testimony of his popularity. Mayor Quigley is married and has two children, a daughter five years old and a son, about four weeks old. He is in the real estate and insurance business and resides in the old Charles Corbin house at the corner of Maple and l Whiting streets.

 FOR MANSLAUCHTER
Second Criminal Prosecution for North Haven Wreck.

New Haven, Conn.,, April 21.-Au- gust B. Miller, an engineer, was placed on trial here today charged with manslaughter arising from the Tear end collision of the White Noun tain express with the second section Der 2. last, at North Haven, on the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad. In that wreck twenty-one
 persons were killed almost outright,
 and one person has since died, and
 fully a score of persons yet suffer
 from their injuries. This Is the sec Esaont criminal prosecution based on
 the finding of Coroner Mix that
 three railroad employees were respon-
 sible for the disaster.
 F1agman Was Sentenced.
 Brace c. Adams, conductor of the
 Bar. Harbor express, is expected to
 1agrnan of this express some months
 ago pleaded guilty to manslaughter
 and was given year in jail With the sentence suspended. Miller was engineer of the White Mountain ex- press. The coroner found that Mill CT disregarded the rules which re- quired him to bring his train under
 control in foggy weather. He was A drifting by a banjo signal. The HBar Harbor train had stopped few feet over the block limits at this sig nal as it's engineer wished to ascer- tain the condition of the signal. This engineer, Wands, also had "drifted"
 by this signal, and had cleared the
 block just enough to set the signal to
 the north at "clear." Wreck Toll Was Heavy. @.F
 This wreck was the most frightful in loss of life of several wrecks which
 had occurred on the New Haven road in a period of two years. On the morning in question a heavy fog en- veloped the tracks north of this city. The fog had stopped the Bar Harbor train and vision was obscured to Mil Ter as his train dashed by Walling- ford station, although there was a straight stretch of track for two thousand Feet ahead. A few minutes later his train crashed into the Bar ! Harbor train. It was held by Cor oner Mix that Flagman Murray was negligent in his efforts to run back to protect his train. As to Conductor Adams it was the opinion that he failed to realize the dangerous posi- , ton of the train and that he had neglected to send back. and if neces- sary leave behind a competent flag man. The coroner held that Adams should not have held the train to pick up the f1agman under weather
 conditions prevailing. In the finding

BERRY FOUND GUILTY.
Captain of Nantucket Has His License Revoked on Account of Collision.

Washington, April 21.-Captain Osmyn Berry of the Merchants and Miners packet Nantucket, which rammed and sunk the Old Dominion liner Monroe, with a loss of forty one lives, off the Virginia Capes in Jan uary, has been found guilty of neg ligence and his license revoked.
 A board of steamboat inspectors at Philadelphia divided the responsibil- ity for the disaster between Captain Berry and Captain Johnson of the Monroe. On appeal to Captain Seeley, the inspector commanding, Captain Berry has been held guilty alone. Captain Seeley's decision holds that the Nantucket might have seen the Monroe nearly mile away: that the Nantucket heard the Monroe's. whis- ties and that Captain Berry might have avoided the collision.
