ing heavily of champagne.
They are believed to have quarreled
and in the fight that ensued Hafer, ii
Is contended, was beaten to death by
the man who, until few minutes be,
fore, had been his pal"
Bond made a confession shortly af,
ter his arrest, but the police are in
clined to discTedit his version of the
killing. Bond contends that he hit
Hafer over the head with bottle after
the latter had attacked him with a
knife. He ascribes the attack by Hafer
to the fact that he accused Hafer OF
stealing money from him while he
was sleeping.
In that confession Bond said he
chased Hafer to an upstairs room,
where they fought. He said he did not
remember what happened afterward.
Hafer was terribly beaten, while Bond
does not bear a mark.

HOME RULE BILL
PASSED FINALLY
Goes Through Commons BY a
Majority Of IT,
WILD CHEERS GREET VOTE
The Measure VIII Become a Law
Upon Signature of King, as Lords
Veto Would Have No effect.

The Irish home rule bill passed Tor
the third consecutive time IN the
house of commons in London by a ma
jority of II.
The bill becomes law upon its sig
nature by King George. The vote
was: For, 351; against, 274.
Under the provisions Of the parlla-
ment act the bill becomes law after
this stage, as it had already twice
passed through all its stages in the
house of commons in two seperate ses-
sions, and the veto Of the house OF
lords therefore has no further effect.
In the regular course the bill goes
to the lords, but the powers of the up
per house were destroyed by the act
of parliament providing that any bill
having been passed on three consecu-
tive sessions of commons, becomes a
law by royal consent.
The end of the hard fought strug-
gle came quite suddenly, the Union
lists refusing to debate the bill with
out further information as to the gov
ernments intentions in regard to the
proposed amending measure.
Announcement of the result OF the
vote was followed by an unprecedent-
ed demonstration. Nationalists and
Liberals sprang from their seats in a
delirious outbreak of cheering. The
speaker made no effort to check the
tumult, as he knew 1t was useless.
The roar of cheers and the clapping
of hands drowned out the cat-calls and
Kisses of the Unionissts.
Frenzied supporters Of the govern.
ment clasped each other in their arms,
dancing through the aisles of the
house. Others stood upon their seats
waving hats, canes, handkerchiefs and
papers.
The bill got no support from the
O'Brienites, who are out Of sympathy
with the policies of the government
coalition. The members of this faction
of the Irish party failed to vote.
The bill will be sent to the house
of lords after the Whitsuntide holiday.
After the passage of the bill the house
of commons adjourned until June 9.
Now that the home rule bill has
been passed, public interest has shift.
ed and centered on the Ulster prov.
ince. The question of .the hour Is:
"What will Ulster do?" If Sir Edward
Carson, Captain James Craig and the
other leaders of the anti-home rule
Orangemen put into execution the
threats reiterated during the past few
months civil war will follow in the
north of Ireland.
Dispatches from Belfast, which Is
the seat of the Unionist following IN
Ulster, stated that the news of the
passage of the home rule bill created
tremendous excitement, and that the
municipal authorities, fearing a con-
flict, had taken vigorous precautions to
maintain order with extra police and
with troops If necessary.
