Asquith Names Chief
Aid TO Negotiate
Settlement
PREMIER MAKES
HARMONY PLEA
Conferences Between Min
listers, Redmond and Car
son to Begin Soon.
fBy Cabs % The Trbun.

London. May 25-David Lloyd
George. Minister Of Munitions, has
been selected by Premier Asqulth to
negotiate permanent settlement OF all
questions affecting the future govern
ment of Ireland
This appointment. which is big sur
prise 10 all outside of a small group
in the governments confidence, gives
Mr.. Lloyd George a wonderful oppor-
tunity to strengthen his position. As
Minister OF Munitions he has made
record for speed, efficiency, cutting red
tape and taking the shortest cut TO
reach his objective. His stand forced
general conscription against tremen-
dous opposition. Sir Edward Carson,
the Ulster leader, has been one Of his
strongest supporters. but ne IS also
close friend Of John Redmond.
Since the beginning Of the conscrip-
ton fight he has always been classed
as an opponent of the wait and see"
policy, his famous "too late" speech
attracting great attention, as did his
recent statement that time is not
Britain's ally"
Recently he has been the object OF a
bitter attack by the editor of The
Daily News" II was understood then
that he was about to withdraw from
the Cabinet, but the adoption OF uni
versal conscription caused him TO re-
verse his decision. The Northcliife
press has since thrown all its strength
TO his support.
The fact that he is able 70 withdraw
from his present post speaks well FOR
his organizing ability, for it is only
year ago that Great Britain began man
ufacturing munitions on n scale any
way near approaching the wars de-
mands. He showed he was still strong
with labor by settling the Welsh and
Clyde strikes, and now he is tackling
what outside of the actual winning OF
the war is freely admitted 10 be Brit
aims greatest problem, and If success
ful he will win not only the gratitude
Of the whole country, but any honors
he may care to accept. II he fails, as
have all his predecessors, he will sim
ply drop out of public life, according
TO general opinion.
l. - tt,oA h. rb1 Tra
made until after Premier Asquith had
consulted Sir Edward Carson and Mr..
Redmond. As a close friend Of Sir
Edward he will have more influence
perhaps than any one else, and this is
a valuable asset, for undoubtedly the
greatest concessions must be made in
that quarter.
How soon a formal conference can
be arranged, and exactly what shape
it will take is still unknown. 1t is
understood that, besides John Red
mond, the Nationalist leader. and Sir
Edward Carson, the Ulster leader, the
conference will include Herbert Sam
uel, the Home Secretary. who had
much to do with framing the financial
clauses of the Home Rule act.
Others mentioned are John Dillon
and Joseph Devlin. 1t is asserted that
the proceedings of the conference will
be quite confidential and that the
place of meeting will be Mr.. Lloyd
Georges private room az the Ministry
Of Munitions in Whitehall.

Poisoned His Way 20 Riches.

As frankly as IL what he had done
had been the accepted thing, violating
no codes, nor laws. nor commandments,
he admitted that the thought uppermost
in his mind when he proposed marriage
TO Clara Louise Peck was Of her
fathers fortune; that before the we'd
ding he had begun 20 give poison to
Miss Catherine Peck, whose spinsterly
affections ne had completely won, and
who had been moved 70 many material
kindnesses toward him; that he had
done away with his wife's mother, one
of his best friends, and had enjoyed
a refreshing sleep the next night; that
he had removed the remaining obstacle
between himself and control of half
million dollars by administering ar
senic and chloroform 20 his father
in-law, after the subtler agency Of
germ cultures had failed.
Some guardian angel must have
watched over John E. Peck through the
early days Of his visit TO his son-in-
law.

too. All ready" Waite testified.

There was a shadow Of regret in his
voice as he told the jury he had been
unable to bring the baeilli 10 full

jected them.
Then the dentist tried sprinkling
water between the sheets OF his visit
ing fsther-in-law's bed, so that the
dampness might accomplish the pur-
pose Of which his pneumonia germs
had failed. And Peck suffered only
rheumatic twinge.
At another time Waite tried gas.
But the superintendent os the River
side Drive apartment building in which
his wife's parents had furnished
honeymoon home for the Waites, came
shifting upstairs and spoiled every
thing.
Once again. Waite turned on an
electric heater in his father-in-law's
room. Just how that was 10 have

Whatever the scheme. il was frustrst-
ed by the intended victim. Rising in
the night he stumbled over the heater.

Concerning his wife's aunt, the den

that it might work 20 his financial ad-
vantage should he permit her % live

How Much "Balance?"

We are often asked 'how
much" money is needed to
open an account
It's not the amount at all
its the intention. If the
depositor is in earnest and
really wants to save and
make his account grow
that's all we ask.
Every man and woman
who has a bank account
should remember, of course.
that banks have expenses to
pay, and these expenses must
be met by the earnings from
loaning the depositors' bal
ances-hence it follows that
each account should reach a
point where it is self-sus-
tanning.
It's worth while to be
favorably known at your
bank, especially so for the
young man, who may later
need the banks assistance in
some business venture.
