WOMAN KILLED; MAN HURT
Couple Struck by Express Train in West End of Bridgeport Survivor Loses Arm and Leg

Bridgeport May PA woman was instantly killed and a man probably fatally hurt when they were struck by an express train on the New Haven road in the west end here this soon. Both were walking the tracks. The man vas removed to St. Vincents S hospital. He lost an arm and a leg and is not expected to recover.
 The dead woman was identified as Mary HOpko, aged 31 and the man as Andrew Hopko, her husband, aged 40. It was said that the woman was standing in the middle of the tracks when struck by the Bar Harbor Ex- press, bound from New York to Bos- ton, her body going under the train. Her husband was alongside the tracks and was pulled into the wheels
 A statement made by the engineer would indicate that the woman com mitted suicide but there was no con- firmation of this theory, according to the authorities. The couple were re- gently married, living on Pine street. and were walking on the tracks at Burr Road Crossing in search of a, building site.

London, May 22.-At the opening of today's session of the royal cOm- missions inquiry into the Irish re- volt, Augustine Birreu, former chief secretary for Ireland, was recalled as a witness, a difference of opinion nav ing arisen between himself and the war office Jas to what had happened during the conferences mentioned by the former chief secretary of Ireland in his evidence last week.
 Baron Charles Hardinge, mem Der of the commission, read letter written bv Major General MacReady, of the adjutant generals staff, ot the war department, at the request of D Field Marshal Earl Kitchener, the secretary for war, in which General MacReady said that the conference of March 20, at which MT. Birrell, ac- cording to his testimony, had asked for more troops to be sent to Ireland, had reference to the state of recruit ing in Ireland and that the proposal was that troops should be sent to various parts of Ireland to encourage men to join the colors.
 "So far as we are aware" said Gen. eral MacReady's letter, there was no question of sending troops for the purpose of overaWing the Sim Fein- 
 er'S.'
 Expected Trouble in South.
 General Friend, the commander of the forces in Ireland, the letter con- tinued. had reported the possibility Of trouble in south Ireland and suggest ed that he would, need more troops. As a result, arrangements were made for a reserve battalion to be sent to stimulate recruiting they would have been available in an emergency.
 MT. Birrell, in reply, said he was surprised to hear that he had omit ted to mention at the conference the necessity of sending troops to Dub lin. He certainly had done so, he de- clared, in interviews with Generals French and Friend.
 Viscount Middleton described the action which he said he had taken to bring the activities of the Sim Fe1n- CTS to the attention of the Irish au- thorities before the outbreak.
 Laughs at MiddIeton's Fears.
 Viscount Middleton stated that he had conferred with MT. Birrell and had strongly urged that the national volunteers be disarmed. MT. Birrell had said in effect, declared the witness that the movement was one to be laughed at, not one to be taken seri- ousIy.
 On February 25 MT. Birrell, con- tinued the witness had written him a letter in which the following occurred:
 '"To proclaim the Irish volunteers an illegal body and put them down by force would, in my opinion, be reck- less foolish act and promote disloyal- ty to a prodigious extent. l am more alarmed at the possibility of bombs and isolated acts of violence than of concerted action"

San Antonio, Tex, May 29.-Some anxiety as to the reported situation of American troops south of Boquillas was displayed today at General Fun stons headquarters.

THE PROHIBITION LOBBY.
tPaid Advertisement)
mo North American Review)

CThe North American Review)
 The prohibition forces Of today are organized with a degree of eli- ciency attained by few movements in the history of the republic, writes L. Ames Brown. Their efficiency or organization prevents us efectually from drawing 8 parallel between the Dow movement and the HObson movement. The power of that DOT ton of public opinion which now supports the demand for national prohibition is exerted upon Congress and state political bodies and in elections through the Anh-SaloOn League of America. The league or ganizes and manages every import ant prohibition fight made in the country, and maintains at Wash ington, one of the most powerful Hobbies ever seen at the national capital. It is known as the Nation al Legislative Headquarters of the league. and is in charge of Rev. E. c. Dinwiddie, national legisla- tive superintendent. It is a lobby clearly within the sense of the term accepted in modern American pol itics. Its representatives, backed by an organized influence of public opinion. are enabled to dictate the attitutde of a considerable number of Congressman on a pending ques- ton. with the result that Congress- men oftentimes are driven to vote against their own views and their own consciences in favor of meas ures advocated by the lobby The harmful effect of such a lobbying enterprise upon our system of gov ernment does not admit of cOntro- versy. It is inimical to the very spirit of our government institu- tions, in that it would remove the legislative power from Congress it. self, in so far as the matter of pro- hibition is concerned, and place this mower in the hands of the Anti-Sa- loon League. A lobby always has been condemned by the American people. The very term lobby" has been anathema in American politics. Until the appearance of Mr. Comp CTS and Mr. Dinwiddie, those who exsrted a concerted influence" upon Congress did their work secretly and under cover. The Ant-SaloOn League has been utterly fearless in it's operations, however, and has made no effort to cloak its activities in the corridors of the House of Rep resentatives.
