HOME RULE BILL
Will NOT SOLVE
IRISH PROBLEM
Promise of Self Government
To Ireland Does Not Ease
Way to Conscription.
tBy Associated Press)

LONDON. April 12.-The Irish con-
vention laid the foundation for an
agreement on the Irish question
which is unprecedented in history
Sir Horace Plunkett, chairman OF the
convention says in a letter accom-
panying the report of that body.
The convention did not find it pos
sible to overcome objection OF the
Ulster Unionists, says Sir Horace. A
majority of the Nationalists, all the
southern Unionists, and five Of the
seven labor representatives agreed
upon a scheme OF Irish self-govern-
mentsMhich is given in the conclusion
reached by the majority which, he
states, would be enacted into law.
Promise Of home rule bill by the
government has not had the smallest
effect in easing the way to conscrip.
ton in Ireland, according to special
dispatches from Dublin. The union
lists will not sit quiet and allow the
bill to be rushed through and the IA
tionalists are more concerned in the
defeat OF conscription than in obtain
ing home rule. In consequence the
situation as regards home rule at pres
ent is that nobody wants it.
uraed to Make Bargain.
Meanwhile, the Irish Times, which
in the past clamored for conscription
and Wednesday endorsed the resolut
ton Of Ulster Unionists in parliament
accepting it, yesterday invited John
Dillon to make a bargain with the
government. The Irish Times sug
gests that in the six weeks before
the machinery for conscription can
be in working order the nationalist
should undertake to raise seven di
visions by voluntary recruiting-a re
suit which it says, should persuade
the government to abstain from en-
forcing conscription.
w. F. O'Connor, high sheriff Of the
City of Cork, has requested that ht
be relieved of his duties as protest
against conscription. John Dooley
Irish party candidate for parliament
in north Kings county, at the request
Of his supporters, has decided as g
protest against conscription not tf
contest the seat against the Sim Feir
candidate, although he was confident
Of winning. Mr.. Dillon is said to have
sent him a message advising him tt
abandon the contest.
BY order OF the military authorities
the Belfast Evening Telegram was

lication in Tuesdays edition of a re
port regarding the decisions OF the

GOVERNOR URGES
PREVENTION OF
MOB VIOLENCE

alists.

In order that there may be no scene
Of mob violence in Indiana against
pro-Germans or disloyal persons, s1ch
a. was Witnessed In Collinsville, Ill.
few days when q man WAS lynched.
Governor B. F. Goodrich has written
to every county sheriff in the state
urging them to do all In their power
to crrh -'c'ence on the part of out
ragged citizens. SrsHSsNN
1t is feared that outraged citizens

hands in exceptional cases and mete
out punishment as they may see at.
1t fs to avoid any such scenes a. nlf
nois witnessed that the governor has
issued the warning to county sheri6s.

governor by Sheriff Glen Carr. and the
locations of all militia companies In
the state are among its contents. In
case Of any crisis arising in this coun-
ty Sheriff Carr is empowered to at
once get in touch with Governor Good
rich who will furnish state troops II
the conditions merit such action.
"The public mind is at this time In
famed against anything that would
appear to be disloyal." said the gov
ernor in his letter. with the increas-
ing casualty in France that IL sure to
come as the war progresses. this feel
ing will be aggravated to a consider
able degree.
1T is the duty Of every good citizen
to report all instances of disloyalty to
the proper officials that the offenders
may be apprehended and punished, but
it is clearly not the duty Of the citi-
zens of the state to attempt to deal
out punishment without due process
of law"
