KING CONDEMN NED HOME RULE ACT, CLAIM Speech From Throne Called Confession of Failure Tn
 Irish Problem SIR EDWARD CARSON
 STANDS WITH NORTH Attorney General Points Out Danger of Lords Fore
 ing Further Delay

London, Feb 1.-The question whether home rule for Ireland should include the northern province of Ulster was again today the principal point of interest in the House of Commons during the debate on the reply to the Kings speech from the throne.
 Sir John Simon, the attorney gen. eral, was the first speaker. He de- clared that the real purpose of the amendment moved yesterday by the Unionist, Walter Long, that it would be disastrous for the House to pro ceed further with the government for Ireland bill until the measure had been submitted to the Judgment of the country was to tear up the pariia- ment act.
 Even in the event of a general cleo ton returning the Liberals to power, new parliament and the. House of Lords would be free to block the horne r1i1e bill for another three sessions
 The attorney general was followed by Sir Edward Carson. head of the provisional government of Ulster. He said that never before in sEsr-vssh from the throne had a statement of such unparalleled gravity been made in reference to the domestic relations of the fellow citizens of Ireland as was made by King George yesterday.
 The words put into the King g mouth by the cabinet minister were, Sir Edward said, condemnation of the home rule bill and a confession that it had utterly failed to furnish a solution of the Irish question There was small wonder, In view of this con- fession,s that the government sl1irked the idea of leaving the decision to the voice Of the people
 Sir EdWafd Carson decIared that il Premier Asquit11.s promised stgges- 5a13x. -k-lz TTo&<. in the grip of the Dublin parliament he would, regardless of all conse- quences, stand with the people of UI- ster in their policy of resistance.

Joe Martin. I years old and known
 to his companions as Ye1low or
 .'Shorty.s' is feared to have gone to
 his death several weeks ago beneath
 the wheels Of a train near Pittsburgh.
 Pa, and to@be buried in an unknown
 grave. His mother. Mrs. Mary Mar
 tin. has asked the police to investi-
 gate and, if possible, find her boy. Only neagre clues are available as
 George Neve1us of Ogden street ex- tension, who is said to have spread
 tragedy. left Bridgeport on another
 wandering expedition and his where
 abouts are unknown.
 Martin and Neve1us were suspected
 of knowing something about some
 petty burgIaries on the East Side and. learning that the police were search
 ing for them, left the city. This was
 shortly before Thanksgiving Shortly
 afterwards word was received that the two were sentenced to the Westches- ter, Pa. jail for 20 days each on train riding charges. Detective Sergeant Edward ,Cronan went there, thinking that important disclosures might be made. He found that a country jus tice of the peace had discharged the two the day before his arrival As far as can be learned Martin went to his death shortly afterwards.
 ADOuC ID QayS ago I4GV6luS T0-dQ- peared in Bridgeport and told several of his old chums that Martin is no longer in the land of the living. But he did not go near Mrs. Martin and she only learned the news second
 hand. When she sought her boy s
 chum she found that he had left the city with four other East Side boys | It has proved an i'll fated party, ac- cording to the reports of their wan E derings sitting into police headquar- 1 ters. Two members are in hospitals in a serious condition, one in NoIwaik
 and the other in Phi1adeIphia The whereabouts of the other members
 are not known
 I The story is that shortly after boarding freight from Bridgeport to
 New York, John KEasowsh Of 1922

Lad Crushed
 In Elevator
 At Strdtfield

Wedged in between the elevator of which he was in charge and the door of the shaft on the eighth floor of The StratheId, George Reynolds IT years old and living at 639 Washington ave nue, received dangerous injuries this afternoon. He is at St. Vincent's hos pital suffering from internal injuries probably injured spine, contusions and general shock. When found the upper part of the body was lying on the floor of the hotel while his legs hung suspended in the car, the top pinning him down. But for timely discovery, quick work by Assistant Manager Jarnes M. Parker of the hotel and the absence of power, the accident would have resulted in in- stant death, making Reynolds the fourth victim of elevator accidents at The Stratfield.
 According to the meagre details ob- tainable. Reynolds had left his car at the eighth floor for several minutes fn order to go to one of the rooms, re- turned to find that it had descended so that there was but small space between the top and the floor. Mis- judging the distance, he tried to crawl into the car, became stuck and req
 ized that it was slowly descending His cries attracted the attention o1 MT. Parker on the second floor, who immediately got in touch with the en- gineeT of the building. The car was raised just in time.
 Dr.. J. H.sFinnegan, emergency hos pltai am bulance surgeon, arrived jusi as the boy was being released, gave first aid treatment and rushed him tc the hospital. Investig gation is being made of the accident this afternoon The gradual sinking of a hydraulic power elevator is said to be not un- usual when the car is left near the tor of the shaft.

The solid front which Mayor Clifford B. Wilson's administration has pre- sented during two years. promises to be shattered by one of the most bit ter pork fights. which has marked the history of municipal politics.
 Two factions in the party are strug- g1ing for possession of the Charities Department, which carries with it the support of the outside poor, and the control of may votes in Republican primaries and on election day.
 Mayor Wilson and A. E. Lavery de- sire to bring in successor to Supt. Johnson, who has resigned to take a better job.
 Other clements in the Republican party desire to name Johnson's sue cessor.
 Tn the meantime three members of the Board of Charities, including Presi- dent F. w. Behrens. are reputed to have said "a plague upon both your houses,'' and to have determined to give Investigator Alexander Morrissey a chance to show what he can do.
 Morrissey has been connected with the department for twelve years. He I is an able man and knows Bridge ports poor better than anybody else I in the city
 President Behren's determination to vote for Morrissey made him very I1n- popular with the administration, and tke whole record of the charities de- partment fir two years has been gone over to find something derogatory to i him.
 All that has been discovered up fo this time is that the Board of Contract and Supply has given contracts to Behrens for supplies of meat and pork, in eases where he was the lowest
 bidder
 This practice has been going on for
 two years. If it is wrong now it has always been wrong

 Board of Contract and Supply to have honestly administered it's duties, nor
 without the consent of Mayor Will Ison.
 These matters reached a climax yes- terday afternoon when Mayor Wilson and the members of the Board of Con- Itract and Supply resorted to the chari- ties building and Joined in an assault
 upon the motives Of Mir. Behrens fn Iconnecfion with acts which, if they were improper, the board could have prevented and for which in the last | janalysis. the board and Mayor Wilson iwere alone responsible. i Pork. not the kind which. produced the laundering of so much political linen. but real pork was feature ot S the discussion. Mayor Wilson donn-
 mated the discussion. It was plain
 from the beginning that the purpose
 was the Humiliation of President Beh- Irens.
 Under the guise of learning about pork numerous subtle attacks were made upon his motives. President
 Behrens, without hesitation, explain led every question asked He showed J that over 20 years experience in hand ling meat provided him with more
 practical knowledge of the subject Ithan the theoretical knowledse of his Iquestioners. several of whom admit ted that they knew practically noth- ling about the question
