Development in
ireland Awaited
By British King
BY ASSOCIATED PREss.

London, July 1s.-King George who
has been making great efforts to bring
about q settlement of the Irish home
rule crisis decided to postpone until
late today his proposed visit to the
British fleet now lying at Spithead so
that he might be in London to receive
early reports of developments in the
conferences between the various party
leaders. It Is understood that when the
opportune moment arrives his majesty
Will throw his influence toward the
side looking for an amicable settle
ment.
The belief prevails that such a
settlement Is not far off. The Liver
pool Post one Of the best informed
papers on the government side says:
There Is really an arranged settle
ment Of the Irish question. Details
have yet to be adjusted but the broad
facts can be regarded as fixed"
Other authorities state there Is a
near approach to a settlement.
The government is believed to have
offered the unionists, If they agree to
abandon their demand for a clean
cut" Of the province OF Ulster out of
fhe operations OF the Irish home rule
bill, to arrange that the whole of Ul-
ster. with the exception of the county
of Tyrone, which has a great Catholic
majority, should vote as a single en-
tity on the question of exclusion from
the home rule government. The union
lists demand that Tyrone shall be in
cluded In this arrangement, has caused
the deadlock.

Scranton, Pa, July 16.-George
Chip, whose recent knockout victory
over Billy Murray makes him again
a contender for the middleweight box
ing title. is a prize fighter on account
Of freak, of luck.
George would proba bly, be a day
laborer in a Scranton coal mine to-
day and not near champion had he
not mistakenly supposed that a man
whom he hit in the course of an ar
to catch the first train out of Scran-
ton. He finally wound up at New
Castle down and out, where he got
job as sparring partner in Jimmy
Dimes stable. 1t was while he was
doing this that Dime, his present man
ager, discovered Chips wonderful wal
lop and fighting possibilities.
Chip was born on August Is, 1888,
to Mr.. and Mrs. John Chipulonis, res
idents of North Scranton. At the age
of ten years he went to work in the
breaker and when he became fourteen
he was promoted to mule driver in the
Cayuga mine.
Has Trouble With Boss.
1t was while doing this kind of
work in the Cayuga in 1905 that he
had a run-in with his boss in the
mines. The boss threatened to fire
MIN ana ne TOOK punch dt tle idt-
ter's jaw. The foreman fell to the
ground unconscious.
Chip wasn't taking any chances on
being arrested and fearing that the
man was dead he escaped from the
mines through a tunnel leading to
the surface. He ran to his home a
few blocks away from the mouth of
the tunnel and after changing his
clothes left town. The foreman was
only stunned.
