SAYS SERIOUS SITUATION
PREVAILS IN IRELAND
John Redmond Blames Delay in Pro-
ducing and Proceeding
With Bill.

LONDON, July 21.-John Redmond.
the nationalist leader. has made public
a memorandum which he sent to
Premier Asquith and David Lloyd
George. the secretary for war, on Tues
day, in which he declared that the
delay in making public the text of the
Irish bill and the irritation caused by
Lord Lansdowne's recent speech had
created very serious situation in Ire
land. He adds:
In my opinion any further delay
wnars-er in producing and proceeding
with the bill will make a settlement on
- lines laid down in the terms sub
hsrded by Mr.. Lloyd George quite i'm
possible. When these terms were orig
inally submitted to US we were strong
~ urged to use all possible dispatch in
consulting our supporters in Ireland.
1t was pressed upon US that the mat
ter was one of extreme urgency; that,
from all points of view, it was vitally
important that the settlement should
De pushed through quickly, and we
were told that not only Irish, but great
imperial interests were at stake
Little Progress Made Lately.
"1t is now more than three weeks
since we did our part and obtained the
assent of our friends in Ireland, in the
face of very great difficulty. as the
proposed terms were far from popular
Since then little or no progress has
been made, and for some mysterious
reason the matter, which five weeks
ego was so urgent. now hangs fire.
Il therefore feel it my duty to urge
upon the government that further de-
lay will be fatal. and place on record
my conviction that any proposal to de-
part from the terms agreed upon, es
Decially in respect to the strictly tenn
,'orary provisional character of all the
4 ons of the BILL will compel US to
~.re that the agreement, on the
-..-,n of which we obtained the assent
OF our supporters in Ireland, has been
departed from and is at an end
a meeting of the Irish party has
been summoned for Saturday. when
the sit"ation will be taken under con-
sideration.

Cattle Valuable in Corn Belt.

Investigation has convinced Depart
ment of Agriculture experts that cat
tie generally add to the farm income
in the corn belt. Although direct profit
from raising calves is said to be small,
other factors are declared to make it
highly advantageous.
The inquiry was a part of the de-
partment's general study of the meat
situation. Keeping of live stock is
recommended particularly on farms
that have large quantities of cheap
roushage or that have land that best
can be used as pasture.

BIG HALL NEEDED.
Turner Hall Unable to AccomOdate , All RanuueterS

That the city needs monster hall or forum, where huge gatherings could be held, is more and more be- ing impressed on the citzens. One of the features of the coming festival of the Eastern Division of the Swedish Singers, which will be held in this city June 8, g and 10 is a banquet, scheduled for Friday evening, June g. It will be held in Turner hall and al- ready the committee in charge has learned the hall will be inadequate for the purpose.
 The hall can accomodate but 5S0 people and it has been estimated that over 600 visitors will be present. Many local people expressed their de- sire of attending and tickets were placed on sale. So many were sold the first day that the committee was forced to withdraw the public sale or visitors would be left out in the cold. The members are in quandry, but there seems to be no reasonable solution to the matter and a number will have to remain away from the banquet.

WHITE WAY STILL
 DREAM OF FUTURE
Common Council Yet Undecided
 and Seeks More Light

Action on the new white way pro- ject was again postponed by the com mon council after a debate, discussion and examination of the proposed lay out lasting well over an hour last night. Councilman Curtis wanted more light on the subject and his mo- tiOn to table for two weeks was final ly passed. When the matter was first taken up Councilman Landers moved suspension of the rules while the city engineer explained the layout of the system to the council members. A re- cess was taken and the council gath- cred in a body about the large map while the city engineer explained. He was assisted by Superintendent At water of the United Electric Light and Water company.
 The original resolution of the board CT public works auth orizing the con- tract With the lighting company at a pearly cost of 5000 was read and councilman Landers moved that the resolution be amended by adding to the hghting district East Main street to the Junction of Hartford avenue and oPllllg street. He explained that the poaio or public works had agreed to 'he chahge. The installation would 1ioI De complete before" October.

Alderman McCabe want ed the system extended to include the upper end of Main street.
 Curtis Suspects Plot.
 Iheh Councilman Curtis moved poStpOnement for two weeks. He did not like the idea of bringing a mat ter before the council when con- tract was all fixed. The council, he claimed, had no information on the subject. 1t was arranged by the city engineer, the board of public works and the lighting company. The board of finance and taxation had to be con- suited to get the appropriation. An other thing, he didn't like cutting out the arcs for incandesccnts The pre- sent arcs give double the light of the proposed incandescents although he understood it was proposed to sub stitutc two incandesCentS for each arc discontinued He wanted the whole matter laid over to get more infor- nation.
 Councilman Landers was willing to lay the matter over if it was to lead to results. He inquired if the question to postpone was debatable and Mayor Quigley ruled in the affirmative MT. Curtis concurred in the mayors rul- ing Councilman Landers then said he was in no hurry for action if a better understanding is to be had. There seemed to be a serious question wheth-

His assailant had escaped. \ couple of weeks later Hausen was arrested in Worcester, Mass. and was brought back here for trial. Detective Ser geant Samuel Bamforth, who brought the prisoner back, testified that en- route he had talked of the crime and said that Mandat had stolen s1OO from him in his room and had then locked the doors. Believing that Mandat was about to kill him he determined to beat him to it, so struck first He said he left the house through a window ana walked up Washington street to Fremont street from where he walked to Hartford and took a trolley car to Worcester. The detective however, found that Hausen himself had the key to his room in his pocket, disprov- ing the story that MIandat had locked the doors

CT the 250-candle power lights are going to be as efficient as the present arcs The only way to tell is to have some put up. For his own part the councilman from the sixth was satis- fled that the 25O-candle power lights were preferable. The sooner the ques- tiOn is decided the sooner the city will get the service, said MT. Landers. The lights will be needed next fall before the holiday season opens and if the work is to be done in time there should be no unnecessary delay. Councilman Curtis thought the sug gestiOn a good one. He, too, wanted to see some lights put up for the benefit of the council Councilman Eichstaedt thought the sample lights should be placed as they are to be and not where other lights will interfere.
 Shot From Paonessa.
 Alderman PaOnessa wanted to know if it is possible to see one of the lights before the contract is approved. He was sick of the way the city has been buncoed in the past by the light ing company Over in a little cOun- try town like MiddletoWn they have real lighting system, a white way that is a white way. In New Britain it was a case of going about with lantern after the store lights were eXtin- cuished. Alderman Jester asked City Engineer Hall about placing sample lights MT. Hall replied that some of the 25O-candle power lights have been installed in East Main street between Elm and Stanley streets. The new light was tried out two weeks ago. The new system is to be on the direct cur rent while the present is on the alter nating current. He didn't think it practicable to install a motor in the et,eets to show samples of the light to be used.
 Jester Wants to Be Shown.
 Alderman Jester agreed with AL derman Paonessa that the city had been buncoed in the past. He wanted to see what the city was going to get for it's money. Councilman Landers said the lighting company would put un one of the new arcs on the pro- pOsed standard in the rear of the com Dany's building on West Main street. AtWater agreed that this would be done. MT. Landers pro- posed that the light be exhibited next week until 9 o'clock in the evening. A Action on the white way resolution was then postponed
 Action on the resolution of the board of public works that the tri- i angle at East and Jubilee streets be l utilized for park purposes was post l pOned as the board has not reported 1 on the petition presented by Council | man Olson for a walk and roadway | on the north side of the triangle. Ac- ton on the recommendation of the commission that the city provide playgrounds was again tabled 1 as Chairman Prior was not present to explain to the council what is wanted.

Alderman Jester moved that the council go on record as fayoring a New Britain representa- ton at the parade and that Mayor invitation be accanted 1
