SHORT and UGLY WORD
Is Dealt Out by a Member OF the
Il House Of Commons.

London, March ia vote of CEN
sure on the British government was
moved today in the house of commons
by Andrew Bonner Law. leader of the
opposition. 1t was based on Premier
Asquith's refusal on Monday to give
details of the scheme Of local option
by which the nine counties Of Ulster
would be permitted to vote separately
eminent. The leader of the opposition
offered to give a guarantee that II the
government would take a referendum
of the United Kingdom on the home
rule bill and local option proposal
the unionists, both in the house of
lords and in the house Of commons,
would place no impediment in the way
of carrying out the will Of the people.
Sir Edward Carson. the Ulster
unionist leader, backed up Mr.. Laws
offer by saying that If the premier
was prepared to give him a definite
offer of referendum he would ac-
cept that decision.
When Sir Edward Carson and Jo-
seph Devlin, nationalist member for
Belfast, entered the house, the at
mosphere became heated. The Ulster
leader called Mr.. Devlin liar when
the nationalist member declared that
Sir Edward Carson at one time had
been a home ruler.
1T is an infamous 1ie." roared Sir
Edward Carson and when the speaker
suggested a modification of his Ian
guage. Sir Edward substituted for it:
The statement is wilful false
hood
Shouts OF protest and cheers in
support of both members filled the
chamber and it was some minutes be-
fore the speaker was able to make
himself heard in an appeal for the
avoidance of personalities.
Mr.. Laws proposition that a refer
endum of the country should be taken
on the home rule bill and the local
option proposal for Ulster was reject
ed by Premier Asquith, who said that
he believed the government proposal
offered the only hope of a lasting set
