LLOYD GEORGE HAS
 HOPE FOR IRELAND
Such Brave People Deserve Home
 Rule, He Asserts

London, July 29.-"I don't despair about an eventual solution of the Irish problem, in spite of the recent fail ure to reach an agreement between the nationalists and the untOnists, said David Lloyd George yesterday.
 He was replying to a request from the Associated Press for his views on the breakdown of the negotiations for putting the Irish home rule act into effect immediately.
 We achieved at least one thing that had never hitherto been accom- pltshed," continued the British war secretary, we brought the represent the Ulster unionists to the point of shaking hands, instead of shaking fists at each other.''
 Mr. Lloyd George, acting as the chosen arbitrator in the century-old Irish controversy, had succeeded in so far modifying the opposing factions that he had brought them within measurable distance of reaching an agreement. Then MT. Lloyd George said, in a tone of regret, fate inter- Vened, as it had so often done before in Irish affairs, and at the last moment a breach occurred
 The secretary of war, however,, is still full of optimism regarding the lnish difficulty: He feels about this problem as about everything else he

A dinner will be served and athletic games will follow. Presi- dent Louis Anderson will preside at the post-prandial exercises and the speaker of the day will be First Se- lectman William H. Gibney. The lat ter was very reticent this morning re- garding his address, and beyond in- forming his questiOner that his topic will be Republican Principles" he re- fused to commit himself. It is also possible that the first gun of the To- cal representative contest will be fired at this time.

 Spirited bidding will be the thing at the auction sale of the old Stockings corner schoolhouse Monday afternoon at o'clock, if the amount of inter- est prevalent about town is any cri- terion.

Once more P. s. McMahon, New Britain's famous theatrical magnate, is in the Emelight First, his cattle wandered about the highways, caus- ing considerable dissatisfaction among his neighbors because of the trampled crops. Then a controversy arose be- tween him and E. c. Dean regarding the construction of fence on their boundary lines It was necessary to call the selectmen in as fence viewers and as result, the work is now being , done by a Hardware City contractor under the jurisdiction of MT. Mc cMahon. Two weeks ago he was arrested on the charge of assaulting laborer em- ployed on his farm and the case IS still pending in the local court. And the latest is that hogs owned by F. $. McMahon break loose from the pens and roam about the adjoining lands. Several complaints have been made re- garding the actions of said hogs and the climax was reached yesterday, when Dr. R. M. Griswold, as public health officer served the following no- 3 tice on the New Britain man:
 You are hereby notified and warned that you are responsible for a public nuisance; to wit: Swine rum ming at large and on the highway and in such a manner as to be a menace to public health.
 "You are hereby ordered to confine all swine on the above mentioned place in a secure and hog tight en- closure or to remove them entirely from the town"
 The order further states that a compliance must be made by August 4. The notice was served by Con- stable John Hackett yesterday after noon.
 A Contrast.
 Several citizens remarked this morning that there is a considerable contrast in settling the differences among property owners. The cases referred to were the one mentioned above, regarding the fences and a similar one between Colonel Charles M Jarvis and George Sage of Worth ington Ridge. Both men own adjoin- ing property, which runs from the state trunk line, There Au been no fence between the lands and recently a controversy regarding the one to erect 1t was held. MT. Sage notified First Selectnan William H. Glbney and the latter discussed the question with A. A, Weldon and Thomas Cash man, both employed by Colonel Jarvis. It was learned that seven years ago an agreement was reached between Mr. Sage and Elisha Clark, at that time foreman for Colonel Jarvis, whereby the latter owns the fence on the land which extends immediately from the
