HOME RULE PASSES
Measure Will Now Become Law
Despite Opposition of
Lords.
ENDS HARD FOUGHT BATTLE
Final Vote on Bill Was 351 to 274, a
Majority of 7-Provisions of
the Law.

London.-The Irish Home Rule Bill
passed its third reading in the House
of Commons by vote of 351 to PA,
a majority if n.
An amendment is to be passed at
once, if the Unionists agree, to meet
some of the Ulster demands.
Upon the rejection of the present
bill by the lords, which is taken for
granted, it will automatically become
a law with the kings signature, and
within the next twelve months the
new Irish Parliament will be sitting
at Dublin. The bin itself provides
that it shall not become operative for
eight months from the date of its pas
sage nor in it's entirety later than fif-
teen months; but there is a special
provision which compels the organiza-
ton of the Dublin Parliament within
year Although constitutionally
King George would have the right to
withhold his approval, it is known
that he has not the slightest inten-.
ton of doing so.
The quick vote on home rule at the
demand of the Unionists came as
surprise to the public, who, early in
the day, focked to Westminster and
crowded the galleries in expectation
of vigorous, old-time debate.
Features of Bill.
The bill, which will become law
whether the house of lords assents or
not, contains the following provisions:
A senate of forty members, house
commons of 164 members.
Irish parliament cannot legislate on
peace or war, navy, army or any ma
val or military force, foreign relations,
trade outside Ireland, coinage or le-
gal tender.
1t cannot make any law, either di-
rectly or indirectly, to establish or
endow any religion, or prohibit the
free exercise thereof, or give a pref
erence, privilege or advantage, or
impose any disability or disadvantage
on account of religious belief, or &c
clesiastical status, or make any re-
Iigious belief or religious ceremony a
condition of the validity of any mar
rage.
Temporary restrictions are placed
on legislation, on land purchase, old
Dor exchanges, Royal Irish constabu-
larry, postofice and other savings
banks, and friendly societies.
The executive remains invested in
the sovereign or in his representative.
Forty-two members still will be sent
from Ireland to the house of COM
mons
The judicial committee of the privy
council to give the final decision as to
the constitutional validity of any act
passed by the Irish parliament.
The Irish exchequer to defray the
cost of the Irish administration, ex-
cept for reserved services mentioned
above.

Two German Vessels Unload
Cargoes of War Munitions
At Puerto.
FUNSTON HOLDS ONE STEAMER
The Bavaria Detained at Vera Cruz
by American General United
States Made No Attempt to
Stop Shipment

Washington, D. C.-Ammunitio1
consigned to the Huerta government
in Mexico which had been kept in the
hold of the German steamship Ypir-
anga ever since the American occupa-
ton of Vera Cruz has been landed at
Puerto Mexico.
Consul Canada at Vera Cruz cabled
this information to the State Depart
ment and it also was reported from
other sources to the War Department
that arms consigned to Huerta had
been landed at Puerto Mexico from
the German steamer Bavaria Both
steamers belong to the Hamburg
American line.
Didn't Try to Prevent 1t
No effort to prevent the delivery OF
the ammunition consignment was
made by officials of the United States,
Puerto Mexico being an open port and
the United States having agreed to a
suspension of hostilities in the medi-
alton of the Mexico imbroglio at Mag
ara Falls. 1t was made plain at the
State Department that the only way
for the United States government to
have prevented the shipment of arms
through Puerto Mexico would have
been to seize the customs house there
as was done at Vera Cruz when the
Ypiranga was about to land her cargo
at that port. This would have been
an open violation of the suspension of
hostilities and would have disrupted
mediation at once.
Funston'HoIds German Ship.
Vera Cruz--The German steamer
Bavaria has been held here, upon its
arrival without manifest, at Brigadier
General Funston's order. The Bavaria
recently landed a large quantity of
ammunition on Mexican soil.
1t is estimated the Bavaria put
ashore 100000 rounds of ammun1-
ton. The cargo was destined for
Vera Cruz, but was delivered to Puer
to Mexico. The steamer reached here
Sunday. The captain could not pro
duce manifest, declaring to the cap
tain of the port that it had been taken
away from him by the American au-
thorities. Later he admitted landing
the cargo, which included also three
thousand rolls of barbed wire.
General Funston understands that
the ammunition and wire reached
Huerta Is Willing to Resign.
Vera Crruz.-Keports reaching here
through private sources declare Gen
eral Huerta has specifically commit
ted himself to turn over the govern
ment to a commission composed of
prominent members of the various
factions in the republic, such as has
been suggested at the Niagara Falls
peace conference. He is also said
to have agreed to relinquish power to
any successor which such a commits
sion might select.

GOVERNMENT l' FOR TOWNS.

Beaufort. S. G., Has Plan For Small
municipalities.
One of the oldest settlements in the
| south, in the conservative state of
South Carolina. the town of Beaufort,
believes that it has developed a scheme
which may solve the problems of city
government for towns of 5000 popula-
! ton or less. So
For large cities the commission form
of government has proved successful.
and for cities somewhat smaller the
city manager plan is giving satisfac-
ton. But Beaufort could not afford
this plan. and. besides. there was not
need of an experts entire time in the
affairs of the city government
So plan was evolved of combining
into one job the executive work of the
municipality and the direction of the
affairs of the chamber of commerce.
The person who performs this twofold
function is to be called the city super
visor, giving half of his time to the
city and half to the commercial body.
His salary of $2.4O0 will be paid half
by the city and half by the chamber of
commerce
Beaufort has not, strictly speaking, a
commission form of government, but
it's council of seven members is chosen
by the people at large. The mayor IS
also recorder or city magistrate, and
there is a city clerk, city marshal and
a city health officer. The town owns
its own WateFworks and electric light
plants, each under charge OF special
commission. s-s '.s-e---, sszsssss. ~

plan will determine The Office Of

tinue. that official presiding at meet
ings of the council and acting as city
magistrate. - vi .
The advantages of this combining of
Offices are readily apparent The city
Offices now become headquarters of
the chamber of commerce. a rest room
for farmers and their families while
in town and an assembly room for the
chamber Of commerce. The city clerk
becomes Office manager for the cham
ber Of commerce and the city hall be-
comes a center of more varied commu-
nifty activities.

Grounding fence wires affords con-

is worth while investment for farm

To secure the best results ground
wires ought to be placed about 100
feet apart and closely stapled to the
