NO ROWD|ES EERE
Pickell Resents Anderson
Charge of Unfairness.

Principal Pickell, of the local high
school, today resented the charges
made by several Anderson newspapers
that the Anderson basketball team
had received unfair treatment at the

which resulted in close victory for
the local men.
The Anderson papers printed a sto-

cheated out of the game here, also
that the visitors received rough and
Internationally treatment at the hands
of the Richmond rooters
Pickell wants it understood that the
Anderson crowd was beaten fairly and
squarely, as the official score showed

SOLUTION OF HOME
RULE MATTER seen
Advocates of Peace in Grave
Irish Question Were Much
More Hopeful Today.
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.

LONDON, Feb Indications
more favorable to a compromise were
apparent in the home rule conflict to-
day. While the Unionists were jubt
liant over the greatly reduced majority
by which the government defeated
their demand for general election,
they admitted that the coalition OF
Irish Nationalists and Liberals was
strong enough to pass the measure.
The Liberals. though certain that they
had the whip hand, were led to seek q
peaceful solution Of the difficulty, be
lieving that many of their party had
refused to vote against the Unionists
because of listers threats to revolt.
and hoping that a comprou''sn On the
home rule measure would assure O
united front on the remainder OF the
legislative program.
The majority of IS secured by the
government last night was the small
est in three votes taken with the home
rule bill as the direct issue. IL showed
a decrease from twenty and thirty-one
from the majority recorded on the two
other occasions. The liberal leaders
asserted today that many of their
members were ill and that the follow
ers of William O'Brien failed to vote.
Whatever the cause of the govern
ment slump, advocates of peace took
heart today and redoubled their efforts
| to reach compromise. The CHIEF OBJ
stacle In the way of a compromise was
the unbending attitude of Sir Carson,
the Ulster leader. He reiterated his
declarations that no compromise
would be accepted that failed to give
| Ulster her liberties and rights.
