IRISH HOME RULE
IS THE BIG QUESTION
BEFORE PARLIAMENT
Amendment to Submit Prob
lem to Judgment of People
Defeated = Shouts of
Resign" Greet Result

London. February 1t.-iiome rule for
ireland again was the subject OF par
amount interest In the House of Com
mons today. Sir Edward Carson. Ulster
nnonist leader. David oyd-,feorge
chancellor of the eXchequer; sir John
simon, attorney general; John E. Red
mond, leader of the Irish nationalistS.
and Andrew Bonar Law. leader of tho
opposition, all made fervent speeches.
and at the conclusion of the debate
the amendment To the reply to the
speech from the throne, moved yester-
day by the unionist, Walter Hume
Long. that 1t would be disastrous for
the house to proceed further with the
government for Ireland bill until the
measure had been submitted to the
Judgment of the country" was defeat-
ed by vote of s33 to 255
The result of the vote was received
with loud opposition cheers and shouts
of resign"
Jchn Redmond appeared anxious to
meet the question from a broad view
point, with an earnest desire for a
peaceful settlement Mr.. Bonar Law
predicted civil war the moment home
rule passed, but urged that the danger
of civil war could be aVerted by leav-
ing Ulster out of the home rule bill
or by submitting the bill to the peo-
pie.
If ever people in the history OF
the world had the right to resist by
force the imposition of n form of gov
ernment they detested, said the opposi-
ton leader, the men of Ulster had that
Right. In two ways could danger OF
civil war be averted-by leaving Ul-
ster out of the home rule bill or by
submitting the bill to the Judgment of
the people.
David Lloyd George, chancellor OF
the exchequer said the next six weeks
miGht see Il complete change in the
situation, When Parliament was Sit
ting and men were meeting face to
Face something might well issue which
would make a settlement much easier
he said
The government was prepared. said
the chancellor, to go to the ext }eme of
concession compatible with thA prin-
ciples of the bill, but could lot be-
tray the majority of Irishmen Who had
put their trust in it.
Lord Charles Beresford. addressing
the Ulster association OF London to-
night, said
III the imperial forces are ordered
to fight on the Ulstermen, they must
obey. But I decline to believe that the
government Will so to that extreme to
force home rule on Ireland. If the gov
ernment does 1t Will be the first step
toward the decentralization of the army
and navy and Will lead to the break
mp of the empire"

Banks Taken Over

Chihuahua. Mex, February 11.-Local
banks which discontinued business sew
eral months ago as a result of chaotic
conditions are taken over by the state
government in a decree Issued by Gov
ernor Chao today. The decree is In
accordance with the ultimatum of We
nustiano Carranza. head of the rebel
government, who named February 10
as the limit Of the period in which
banks might reopen as private insti-
tuions.
1t Is probable that the banks will
be consolidated into one receivership
and operated by the receivers. The
banks named in the decree are: Banco
Minero, branch OF the Banco Nacional
Banco De Sonora and Banco CONNER
cialy Refrancionario
Early In the revolution the banks
here were embarrassed by the forced
loans, but these were trivial burden
compared to the decree which declined
to recognize Mexican money in rebel
territory.
The banks had no option but to close.
1t Is assumed that when the banks
are reorganized under the receivership
they will be used to circulate the new
rebel money, some of 1t In coin being
minted here and several millions being
engraved in the United States.

HOUSE SOON TO ACT
ON ALASKAN BILL
Leader Underwood Defends
Measure Against Gen
eral Attack

Washington, February 11-final action
on the Alaska railroad bill next Wednes-
day was in prospect tonight after the
House had given day to detailed con-
sideration of the measure as passed by
the Senate.
But one amendment was written into
the bill during the discussion. This would
leave to the discretion of the President
the problem of handling the proposed
railway after the government has built it.
1t was introduced by Representative
Mann of Illinois. and would allow the
President either to lease the railroad to
private operators or to operate IL for
the government
Mr.. Mann pointed out that the Presi-
dent might be confronted by a situation
on which the only available lessees would
be the ''Guggenheim interests or other in
terests heavily interested in Alaska, and
in such a case he ought to be able to
decline to lease.
Several members, both democrats and
republicans. attacked the bill as social
istie," In the course of the debate, and at
one time Majority Leader Underwood took
the floor to reply to their assertions
He was forced for time to defend the
bill q gainst general attack from the
democratic side.
Representatives Burnett of Alabama,
Hensley of Missouri. Galloway of Texas
and Hardwick of Georgia led the as
sault.
THE suggestion that this bill contains
the germ of socialism," said Mr.. Under
wood. takes me back 12 years to the
time when we We're debating the first
irrigation bill IN this house The same
cry raised then but no one will to-
day contend that the government irriga-
tion policy has been a failure
Under a fire Of questions Representative
Underwood declared he would not favor
government construction of railroads in
continental United States because 1t was
not necessary.
He declared government action was
necessary Ito make Alaska an asset In
| stead of a liability"

federal strongholds were not being ac-
lively pushed by the constitutionalists.
1t was suggested that rebel leaders
we're awaiting the receipt of fresh sup
plies of arms and ammunition. There
also is a suggestion that General Villa
and General Carranza are concerned over
the possibility that some of their follow
ers, unused to restraint may be difficult
to handle in the event that any of these
large towns are captured, and that, for
the present they are quietly putting into
operation disciplinary measures with a
view to meeting the close scrutiny of the
civilized world upon their conduct when
they are placed in the attitude of con-
Querers.
