Home Rule Bill
Crisis Reached
in Parliament
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, June 23.-The crisis In con
nection with the granting Of the home
rule to Ireland entered another stage
today when the Marquis Of Crewe, Lib
eraI leader in the house of Lords. intro
duced q bill to amend British home rule
bill.
The terms Of the amending bin are
Identical with those offered on March q,
by Premier Asquith and refused by Sir.
Edward Carson, the Irish UniOnist lead
er who described the premier's proposal
as a "hypocriticaI sham"
BY the new bill the parliamentary cleo
tors of each county IN Ulster VIII decide
by vote whether the country shall be eX-
ciuded from the provisions of the home
rule bill for six years after the first
meeting of the new Irish parliament
The situation has never been paraleled
in parliamentary procedure in the Brit
ish isles Never before has q bill been
presented to parliament to amend a
measure not yet on the statute book.
This was, however. the only means Of
overcoming the deadlock as the house
of Lords refused to consider the main
bill until the full proposals OF the gov
ernment were before It.
In introducing the amending bill, the
Marquis of Crewe dweIt on the religious
difficulties surrounding the question Of
Ulster, but while he admitted the nee
essity for some form OF exclusion for
those who deemed themselves affected
by the home rule, he c0ntended t-1at the
exclusion OF the entire province O | JlsLer
would involve great injustice. COnse-
Quently the government, he said had
reiterated in the amending bill premier
ties fro mthe operatio nof the home rule
measure.

Canal Benefits Will Rest With
Interstate Commerce Commission

20 adjust the trade balances among
various sections Of the country. The
court found an answer to the whole
controversy in holding that congress
had conferred on the railroads them
selves the right to make discrimina-
tions in favor OF a long haul, and
hence had the right and did in 1910
take this right from the railroads and
give it to the commission.
Had the decision been 70 the con-
.Fary it would have rested in the judg-
nent Of the railroads az to how far in
terror cities should share with sea
board cities in the benefits Of water
comp petitions.
Applications from railroads to put
into effect Ior- and short haul rates
throughout various sections Of the
country have been held up pending
the courts decision. It is expect
ed that the commission will at once
take up those applications, pass upon
them and If they are found reason
able, determine by how much il is
right for the railroads TO allow certain
long hauIs to exceed short hauls.

New York, June 2S.-Leonard Alb
bott. president Of the Free Speech
League, today declared that "a great
victory had been won for free speech"
at Tarrytown. Abbott was one of n
party Of sixty which included many
members of the Industrial Workers Of
the World that went to Tarrytown
last nignt to hold a public meeting
nnd was driven out Of the village by
al mob. Despite the action of the men
aEd boys forming the crowd in max
ing the speakers targets for eggs,
Clods and stones, Abbott said a meet
ing was held, and as that was the OBJ
ject of the invaders he considered
that their mission had been fulfilled.
This is the second time a disturb
ance resulted from the attempt of the
advocates of free speech to carry their
mourning demonstrations, growing
out of the Colorado coal strike. to
the home town of John D. Rookie
feller, Jr. At the first meeting thir-
teen of the visiting demons traitors
Were arrested

Great Victory Has Been Reached

Abbott, Alexander Berkman. Becky

were cut about the faces by stones
and their clothing was torn. None
was seriously injured.
Chief Bowles Of the Tarrytown po-
lice last night denied the party the
right to hold the meeting but as his
force was small, he confined his aC-
tivities 70 accompanying them through
the streets to the old Aqueduct
grounds, which are controlled by the
New York City water department
When Berkman started to speak
Chief Bo T!es demanded to see his per-
nit from the New York city author
tiles. Be<kman had no permit and
defied the police. He was jerked from
his soap box rostrum and then the
crowd took matters into its own
hands, stoning each speaker as he or
she stepped to take the place of an
injured Comrade. After about an
hour of shouting defiance at the
crowd, Berkman and Abbott led their
followers towards the railroad station
declaring they had won a victory.

MEXICAN VETERANS IN CIVIL
WAR

The New York World complies a
list of officers in Taylor's and SCOTS
armies in Mexico which would almost
be a roster of leaders in the civil war
Three presidents of the United
States, three presidential candidates
and the president of the Confederacy
were in the Mexican war. General
Taylor, afterward president, led the
northern army in invasion. u. S. Grant
entered the war as a young leiuten.
ant. Franklin Pierce, a Brigradier-
General of volunteers, arrived rather
late in Scott's campaign. Jefferson
Davis was Colonel of regiment of
Mississippi rifles: the president offer
ed him higher command. but he re-
fused it because of scruple as to the
presidents power to assign command
ers to state troops, a thing he did
later himself in many cases.
Gen Scott one of the three presiden-
tial candidates, had the remarkable
honor of being in chief command in
Mexico and again for little period at
the beginning of the civil war, four
teen years later and forty-seven years
after his bloody action at Lundy
Lane. Mcclellan fought the war
through in Mexico, Fremont in Cali.

there received the Mexican overture
