The largest annual Senior ban

The largest annual Senior ban
uuet ever known in local high
school history was given at the
Robertson building and Com
mercial Club rooms Wednesday
evening, at 8 o'clock. The guests
were received in the Club rooms
and at a given sign all filed down
to the banquet room where
scene of beirauty met the eyes.
The room was draped with the
Senior class colors and the high
school colors. Long streamers
of scarlet and black, the high
school colors, were suspended
from gay Japanese umbrellas
overhead, and potted plants,
ferns and pennets formed the
wall decorations. Long tables
covered with snowy linen ran the
length of the room, and the places
of the guests were marked with
cards, the school board, members
Of the faculty, seniors, juniors,
sophomores, freshmen, alumni
and friends of the graduates
being grouped at different tables.
The four course banquet was
served by the Royal Neighbors
and the table decorations, the
menu and the serving did great
credit to the artistic taste, and
culinary skill and skilful manage
ment of those ladies'. The menu
Was as follows:
Bouillon and Waters
Potato Chips Veal Loaf
Biscuits Radishes Olives
Fruit Salad and Waters
Ice Cream Cake Coffee
Mints

enjoyable program of toasts was
given. So excellent were these
that we should like to give a de
tailed account of them but OF
account of press day following
the night of the banquet, we are
unable to do more than give the

old man was run down and killed by a

35,0oO MEN TO TELL
 HARD: LUCK STORIES
Railroad Enlp|oyes to Relate Suffer- inQS Because Of LfbN Troubles.

Chicago, July 7.-The railway em- ployes' department of the American Federation of Labor has begun to gather data for the greatest hard luck story ever written.
 Sordid chapters from the lives of 35,00O men will be gathered and will tell the story of the hardships, the sufferings, the poverty and sickness of the union shopmen thrown out of work thirty-three months ago when labor difficulties arose between them and the Illinois Central railroad and the Hartman lines.
 Preparing For Investigation.
 The vast amount of information and evidence is being collected by an attorney, Frank Comerford, and will be presented in an investigation of the two railroad systems before the United States commission on indus trial relations in Chicago next month.
 Sixty thousand question sheets were circulated yesterday by a corps of twenty international officers of the labor organization. Some of the ques- tions which each man is asked to answer are:
 Since the strike have you lost your home because you could not make the payments?
 Were you compelled to take any of your children out of school and send them to work?
 Was your wife compelled to take up work to earn money because you were forced out of your job?
 Have you been forced to get along with poorer and less food and cloth ing for yourself and family since the strike?
 Have you had sickness in your family since the strike, directly or indirectly caused by poverty?
 Do you know of any striker or member of his family who committed suicide because of the poverty into which he was forced by the striker"
 F'ifty-two Questions.
 There are fifty-two questions in all. and upon the back of the circular Is a space where each man is asked to tell the story of his life since the strike.
 The investigation will show how many homes have been broken up. how many men have been made tramps, how many have been forced to seek charity, the number of deaths due to reduced standards of living and the number of suicides

PRACTICALLY AT AN END.
Mint Director Claims Gold ship ments to Europe Will Soon Cease.

Washington, July 7.-Gold ship ments to Europe are practically at an end for this year, in the opinion of George E. Roberts, director of the mint. Two weeks ago MT. Roberts said the excellent grain crop in this country, coupled with the bad crop conditions in Europe, would soon swing the balance of trade back toward the United States and check the outward movement of gold. This prediction was realized and the ex- change rate had fallen to point where the further exportation of gold would be unprofitable, and it seems unlikely that Paris will make furth- CT inroads upon the United States supply of gold.

AMENDING BILL TO
 HOME RULE PASSES
Vote on Second Reading 273 to 10,
 as Opposition Had Predicted.

London. July 7.-The house of lords passed the home rule amending bill pn its second reading last night by a vote of 273 to 10.
 This action was expected, as it was announced by the opposition a few days ago that the passage of the amending bill on it's second reading could not be opposed because the government had promised to consider some amendments to the amending bill in regard to the government of Ulster during the period for which 1t is to be excluded from the operations of home rule and the kind of govern ment which would follow this period.
 Unionists Make Speeches.
 Several Unionists made speeches before the passage of the bill. Lord fiilner advocated referendum on home rule or general election to as- certain the wishes of the people. He said among other things:
 The coercion of Ulster is horrible idea. The British Empire will not for long survive such a shock"
 Lord Roberts, Deep Anxiety.
 Field Marshal Lord Roberts ex- pressed what he termed "the deepest anxiety in regard to the effect the crisis in Ireland is bound to have on the army unless peaceful solution of the present trouble is found" He urged the necessity of excluding part oe Ireland from the workings of the home rule measure or otherwise, he declared, the enforcement of the law was certain to meet with armed re- sistance. He continued:
 ''It is that contingency of a. revolt against the threatened imposition of home rule government upon Ulster, followed by an attempt to use the army to enforce 1t, that fills me with dismay. I am more certain than ever that such a sequence of events would mean the utter destruction of the army. In plain language the position is this: The army has for the first time in the memory of any one living indicated an unwillingness to obey an order under certain stated circum- stances
 Clash on Principles.
 Lord Roberts scoffed at the idea that the army was in a political con- spiracy with the Unionists and said: ''We are faced with clash on prin- ciples, which raises the subject far be- yend the realms of ordinary politics. The field marshal pointed out that discipline was an artificial bond, and said
 eff you penetrate deep enough into the depths of human nature you will unfailingly reach in each of us a stratum which Is impervious to dis cipline or any influence from without. This iS conscience, an innate sense of 1 right and wrong, which neither reason 1 nor man made laws can affect The army refuses to shoot men whose only crime is their unconquerable deter imitation to resist their forcible ex- l clusion from a community which l they respect and trust
 Wants Guarantee Against War. The Marquis of Crewe, the Lord Privy Seal and Government leader in the house of lords, said the cabinet would give careful consideration to 1 the amendments suggested by the l unionists. He asked, without any 1 comment:
 | "If the total exclusion of Ulster were l included in the amending bill, would you guarantee Ireland and this l country against the emergency of civil l conf1ict?''
 1 To this there was no reply.
