CALLS UN|ON|ST POLICY
BIG GAME OF BLUFF
Mr.. Devlin Declares That Only OBJ
stacle to Home Rule Is
listers Threat.
Foreign Correspondence of The star.

OfclSu correspondence Oh lue SI4k-
DUBLIN. February Il. 1914.
Mr.. Devlin, NJ. P, recently spoke at a
demonstration at Moate, County West
meath, on listers opposition to home
rule. He declared that the 'so-called'
volunteer movement and the provisional
government had been reduced to miser-
able fasco and that the whole policy of
the unionists was a gigantic game OF
bluff
Referring to the land bill now before
parliament, he said 1t included, as one OF
it's vital provisions the principle Of uni
versal compulsion: and the spokesman OF
the Irish party, both in the house OF COM
mons and in Ireland. had made it perfect
ly clear that, il the landlords were pre-
pared to accept that principle and to
meet the tenants fairly on other vital
provisions of the bill, there was every
probability of an agreement being come
to between the landlords, the tenants and
the government, and of the bill passing
through all its stages as an agreed Dill
Without compulsion the problem would
not be solved either in this generation or
in the next.
Attitude Of Irish Party.
AS to homo rule. the only obstacle in
the way was the threat OF civil war in
Ulster The attitude OF the Irish party
from the start had been that they wanted
home rule for all ireland for all Irish
men, and not for section of Ireland or
a section of Irishmen. The only one
agreed policy of the unionists was 10
keep on shouting that they would not
have home rule. and that. il they were
not permitted to have their way, Ulster
would fight. That policy had failed to
convince or to intimidate anybody. 1t
had failed everywhere, and not least in
Ulster itself, where the so-called volun-
teer movement and the provisional gov
eminent had been reduced to a miserable
fiasco. despite all the hectorings and ma
neuverings OF the rich landlords and
lawyers by whom 1t had been eng neered.
The whole thing was a gigantic game
Of bluff, gotten up for the purpose Of
frightening the British people in order
to stave off the fall of ascendancy in
Ireland for little longer
Sir Edward Carson's argument that I'M
der the home rule bill 1t was p: opposed to
drive away Ulster loyalists from under
the protection of British law was an au-
dacious falsehood
Sir Edward Carson had said that no
single business man in Ireland was in
favor of home rule. He could mention
Lord Pirrie. Sir Hugh Mack. Mr.. Glen
DINING and Mr.. Thomas Shillington out
of host OF others The only claim ST.
Edward Carson had to speak for business
men was that he himself was manufac-
turer Of calumny against his fellow-coun-
trymen.

ROME. February IL, 1911
Another murder mystery is agitating
the little border town of San Reno,
where, only a few weeks ago, the Coun-
tess Tispolo shot dead her soldier lover.
This time the victim is a wealthy Leip-
zig silk merchant. Maurice Sgal, who
for the past four years has been in the
habit of passing the winter season at the
Hotel Victoria. There he recently be-
came very friendly with an American
visitor named Laughed Wolf, twenty
three years old, from Santa Rosa, Cal.
and his friend. F'raulein Keller.
NJ Sigal invited the couple to go with
him on a motor trip to Mentone. Owing
to a quarrel during the journey the party.
instead of visiting the Casino, as had
been arranged, at once returned home
wards.
Wolf several time endeavored to get
Sigal to leave the car on various pre-
texts. so the chauffeur declares. When
they had just reached San Reno the
inside the car. He quickly descended
and opened the door when Sigal fell
heavily to the ground and died before
help was Forthcoming. The chauffeur.
fearing to lose his SIG fare. compelled
the couple, who were anxious to es-
cape. to proceed to the nearest barracks.
where he placed them under arrest.
Woman's Pistol Found.
It is alleged by the couple that sigal
had been fired at from outside the car.
but pistol was picked up later near
the scene of the tragedy and was iden-
titled by the hotel manager as the prop
erty of the woman.

BOOSTER
 TELLS REASON WHY

The following letter received in answer to several written by MT. Clark, after the meeting held in the Pastlme theater on the 3lst of December. is self explan- atory:
 Flagstaff, Ariz. Jan. "A, 1914. w. H. Clark,
 Holbrook, Arizona.
 My dear Fellow Booster:
 have received the various letters which you have written me of late concerning the Good Roads cause. If I have not answered you nor gone down to Holbrook it has not been on account of my unwillingness to do something. But upon receiv- ing your first letter and also a letter from Gallup in regards to road matters 1 wrote at once to MT. Gruening of Des Moines. Iowa, for scrolls, membership slips and buttons. and he answer ed me that he expected to have a man here soon to take up the work and that he would be very glad if I would assist him in the organization work. He added, however, that if they could not make arrangements to have a man out here they would supply me with the necessary equip ment so I could go ahead with the work. So here 1 am ready to go down to Holbrook, Gallup. and any other point, but unable to carry out my good intentions for lack of proper dope. So tell the folks that there will be some one in your town to boost the good roads work.
 I believe the chances are get ting better for our having bridge thrown across the Puerco at Navajo.
 I suppose you have read about the Spanish Trail and Grand Canyon Route association. That association had a meeting at Colorado Springs last week and they are anxious to join with us. have recommended to them the road Durango-Farmington-Gal- up-Holbrook.
 With my best wishes 1 am
 Yours for better roads.

A Sad Death

Mrs. Jack Smith received a letter this week from Mrs. Viola Ritter. conveying the sad news of the untimely death of her son. Frank Cooley, sketch of which we reprint from the Morley paper. Mrs. Ritter is well known in Holbrook. and has the sympathy of the entire com munity.
 On Thursday afternoon Decem Der II, the people of Morley and vicinity were shocked to hear that Frank Cooley had been ac- cidentally killed while helping to load a threshing machine at the switch on the c. M. 6 P. s. R in Morley. Frank was an ener- getic, hard-working young man, who saved his money and gave most of it to his mother. and when a young mans first thought is of his mother. he needs no further praise, He was born in Sheridan, H., April Is. 1898. He leaves a mother, Mrs. Viola Ritter. of Coeurd' Alene, Idaho. and three sisters, Mrs. J. F. Nagle of Missoula, Mont, Mrs. J. M, Cone of Butte Mont, and Mrs. Phil. Simpkins of Morley, Idaho. He was buried at the Rockford cemtery at Rock ford, Wash, on Saturday, De- cember 13, 1913.

Petition for a Bridge

E. J. Marty, the merchant of Indian Wells, is circulating pe- tition this week, which he will present to the Navajo county supervisors at their next meet ing. asking that a bridge be built across Cottonwood Wash, on the Keams Canyon road be- tween Holbrook and Indian Wells, the bridge to be a 75 foot span. Travellers find that the crossing at the wash is the worst feature along the road, and when that is bridged the road to h. dian Wells will be in fairly good shape. The petition has met with splendid success in it's itln- erancy, and will no doubt meet with the approval of the wise men in the council chamber.

SCHOOL NOTES OF
 SPECIAL INTEREST

Warren Smith and Daisy Di- velbess were promoted to the 3rd grade, as a result of the last tests.
 Lois and Connie Blggs are still out with the grippe. Lois is in the grammar room, and Connie is in the intermediate. Loa Cross who had the tonsilitis, and Roy Cross were able to return Mon day morning.
 The intermediate room had a very exciting session Friday af- ternoon when they debated the question: Resolved that city life is preferable to country life. The affirmative was presented by Henry Lopez. Helen Smith, and William Woods. while Ed Woods, Virgal Woolley, and Hen ry Paulsen upheld the negative. The decision was hard to make but was finally given to the neg ative.
 Some mistakes in recitation are inexcusable some are simply amusing. One of the latter was a joy to the grammar room re- gently. The history lesson dealt with the assassination of Presi- dent Mckinley. and the small boy announced that he went to an explosion in Buffalo where he was killed.
 Maida Daley of the 9th grade, was well enough to return to school Wednesday morning, and Clarence Lee of the 7th grade, came back the same morning. The weather. the mumps, and the grippe are making the Janu- ary per cent of attendance much below the average.
