Amendment to Exempt City
From Provisions Of Prohlbl-
tlonary Measure Defeated.

ANNAPOLIS. Ma. March 2--Balti-
more lost in the first sklrmish. in the
senate on the prohibition bill.
The proposition voted on was the
exemption OF the city from the provis-
ions OF tina bill.
n the amendment had prevailed there
would be no vote in the city on the
question whether saloons shall or shall
not be licensed. The vote was; For
exemption. Z: against exemption. 90 The
parties did not divide on the issue.
Disappointing az was the vote TO those
who had dared to hope that the counties
would give Baltimore q square deal, II
In not discouraging.
In fact. those who had followed the
developments since the inception of the
battle were aware that In the Senate,
a. well as In the House, there is q
majority demand that Baltimore shall
vote on the question.
In the house a vote was taken on the
same amendment and with the same re-
suit The vote was 81 against and 80
for the amendment. The city delegation
cast twenty-four solid votes for the
amendment.
Those who came to the relief OF Bal
timore were Messrs. Uric. OF Kent: CIV
en-. Mcintosh. and Reich. of Baltimore
county: Posey, OF Charles: Dobson. OF
Talbot; Blanford, OF Prince George;
Dudley. Of queen Anne: Brown, Fisher.
Green, and Herpich. Of Allegheny.
As soon az this amendment was de-
feated Mr.. Lee offered another giving
Baltimore an option to vote on the
question az a separate political unit.
On this amendment Mr.. Lee took the
floor and delivered an eloquent speech.
with the submission of the house rule
amendment the question is occupying
the same position in the two houses. Z

SITUATION IN ERIN ON1INOUs.
of Rebels Caused Reac.
tion of Sympathy Among People.

London, May 1.-THE most dan
gerous factor in the Irish situation,
namely, that the punishment of the
rebels would cause a reaction Of SYM
pathy among the warm-hearted and
emotional people appears to be fast
materializing.
John Dillon, one of the most re-
spected of the Nationalists, but often
one of the bitterest antagonists of
British rule, attacked the govern
ment today in the house Of commons
in a speech which, for bitter denun-
citation, has not been surpassed at
Westminster since Parnell's days.
Premier Asquith has personally
stepped into the breach and is taking
the unprecedented course of Journey
ing to Dublin to investigate the Sit
uation and doubtless to give instruc-
tions to Gen. Maxwell regarding the
policy which the military government
must pursue, now that the chief civil
administrators, Lord Wimborne, Au-
gustine Birrel and Sir Matthew Ma
than, have retired from office. The
premier left here tonight by the Irish
Mail train on his way to that city.
Mr.. Asquith once before took the
reins in his own hands at crisis by
assuming the secretaryship of war
when the threatened Ulster revolt in
1914 caused the resignation of Col.
Seely.
Playing Conciliator.
The prime minister's finest powers
have been displayed in playing the
part of a conciliator and he now has
a task which is likely to demand
their utmost exercise. He announced

DEATH FROM ..YDROPHOBIA.
SCI ond Fatality Within Week in Lau-
rens County.

Laurens, May 14.-The second
death from hydrophobia to occur in
Laurens within the week is reported
from the vicinity of Cold Point,
where a three-year-old negro child
has died of rabies. The child was
bitten about four weeks ago, and it
was under treatment for more than
three weeks by local physicians. AS
in the case of the little Strickland
lad, who died Tuesday, this second
victim was frightfully bitten about
the face and hands. At the same
time the child was attacked the
father, in attempting to beat off the
dog, was badly bitten on the hands.
AS a result of these fatalities, Lau-
rens county is going to have several
hundreds dogs less than in many a
day. In fact, the slaughter has been
going on for three or four weeks,
and it will continue for some time
or at least until the loafng class is
dispatched.

WITH MAIL
WILSON WILL INSIST ENGLAND
MUST STOP.
Satisfactory Adjustment With Great
Britain Must Be Made by United
States.

Washington, May 15.-Negotia-
tions with Great Britain regarding
interference with mails to and from
the United States and interruption
of neutral commerce by the British
fleet are to be resumed in the very
near future. A note insisting sharp
ly upon notifications in the treat
ment of mails already is being pre-
pared at the State department, and
as soon as possible work will be be-
gun on a reply to- the last British
note defending the operation of the
blockade orders in council.
Secretary Lansing let it be known
last week that the implied change in
the German note on submarine war
fare expressing confidence that the
United States would hold Great Bri-
tain to compliance with international
law had made it difficult to proceed
with the British negotiations. He
said today, however, that these ne
gotiations would be continued
promptly in spite Of the embarrassing
situation. The note now being pre-
pared reiterates the original protest
OF the United States against the de-
tention and interference with Ameri-
can mails. The reply of Great Bri-
tain, received several weeks ago, is
considered unsatisfactory to Presi-
dent Wilson. It is understood that
the new demand will be more decid-
ed in it's language than the first.
A phase of interference with mails,
which would be made the subject of
special protest, is the custom of TAX
ing neutral ships into British ports
for inspection and then removing the
mails, and sometimes subjecting
them to long delays.
The refusal of Great Britain to al
low hospital supplies to be sent by
the American Red Cross to Germany
and her allies still is being carefully
investigated at the State department,
and a protest on this ubject is ex-
pected to go forward in the near fu-
ture

DEATH FROM BURNS.
Mrs. Eliza Shealy Loses Life in
Flames.

Lexington, May 14.-Mrs. Eliza
Shealy, widow of the late John
Shealy, met a horrible death Tues
day at her home about mile south
Of Summit, when her clothing caught
fire from a pipe which she was
smoking or which she was about to
light with a match. Mrs. Shealy, sc
years of age, and Miss Katherine
Alewine, about the same age, lived
together in their little home.
Mrs. Shealy is survived by four
children-three daughters and one
son, as follows: Mrs. w. L. Rawl,
of Batesburg, Mrs. J. A. Slight, of
Summit, Mrs. Ellen Steele, of Brook
land, and Samuel Shealy, of near
Summit
The remains were laid to rest We'd

rowing commission to carry out
these horrible executions"
Mr.. Tenant announced today
there had been fourteen executions,
although the previous figure was
twelve. He asked what people were
to believe, and added that it was no
wonder many viewed the matter with
gravest concern lest another execu-
ton had been held back from the
premier and might be brought to
light later.
Mr.. Dillon said he drafted his reso-
luton in order to confine the discus
sion to the narrow but important is
sue of military executions, and the
continuance of martial law. He
complained that Premier Asquith
was kept in the dark by the military
authorities as to what was going on.
He did not hold Gen. Maxwell, the
British commander, and the other
military authorities responsible for
the execution of F. Sheehy Skefing-
ton, but pointed out that Mr.. Skef-
fngton was shot on April 26 and the
military authorities, responsible for
it until May 6.
"How could any one blame the
people of Dublin for believing dozens
of others have been shot secretly in
barracks?" he asked. "Horrible ru-
mors are current in Dublin and they
are embittering the people,"
