 |RISA NATIONALIST,
 |S CALLED BY DEATH
TRepubllcan A. p, Leased WireI

LONDON. March 6.-John E. Red mond, the Irish nationalist leader. died at 7:45 o'clock this morning. Death was due to heart failure following a recent operation for an intestinal ob- struction. This was borne coura geously and it relieved the patient but heart failure intervened Tuesday night.
 The physicians attending MT. Red mond issued the following announce ment:
 We regret to announce that John Redmond died at 7:45 o'clock. this morning Owing to several serious at tacks of illness d severe operation was faced with great courage. It had be- come imperatively necessary, owing to an intestinal obstruction. This was relieved by the operation and for some days satisfactory progress was main talned. After fairly comfortable day Tuesday heart failure supervened dur ing the night and after few hours MT. Redmond passed peacefully away
 NEW YORK. March GA tribute to John Redmond. the dead Irish nation allst leader, was paid here today by Earl Reading. the British special am bassador to the United States.
 'l am upset at hearing of his death. 5 Earl Reading said T had known him many years. He played a great part in Irish political life during my whole as- sociation with politics in England, and from the beginning of the war he al ways has taken the stand in the house of commons that this was war for 1 liberty. l should like to express my deepest sympathy to all who wish foI self government in Ireland"

 In regard to Newport. the secretary quoted communications from the com mandant of the naval district, from the Newport ministers, from the war camp community service com.Sittee, and the chief of ordnance, urging that intoxi cants be barred.
 Liquor and Explosives
 in the vinicity of the city of New port he said, "are located the naval training station. at which there are at present approximately $500 enlisted men, and the naval torpedo station, at which. although there are only about 400 enlisted men. very large quantities of high explosives are stored. the safe ty of which is seriously jeopardized by the possibility of intoxicated men, either civilians or enlisted force, in its vicinity The crews of ships visiting Narragansett Bay should also be con- sidered among those affected.
 Representations have been made by the authorities at the training station that, in spite of every effort on their part. and in spite of the detail of num- erouS naval patrols throughout the city the liquor menace continues unabated and is constantly undermining the phy- sical and moral welfare of the naval personnel. Practically all of the per- sOnnel at the training station are young lads, very recently enlisted, who are re- ceiving their first training in the navy and who are of that impressionable age which makes it most necessary ! that under these new conditions fol ] them, they should not be exposed tC l insidious temptations"

ton upon the Scanlon resolution which would amplify it. The committee then sent it's interpretation to the National convention saying that the prohibition committee. state. local. and national, could withdraw candidates at any time in favor of national candidates and that anyone who bolted to the national party still could retain his membership in the prohibition party if he so de- sired.
 The resolution was brought to the nationals by MT Paris, a member of the national committee who had pre- viously joined the nationals.
 Whether the split will result in a complete breakdown of the prohibition party, which has been in existence nearly fifty years, was the principal topic of discussion among the delegates tonight and they apparently were about evenly divided on it. Many de- clared that the national committee res olution was life saver and would pre- vent the death of the party since it aI- lowed members to belong to both par ties but others insisted that though the convention had failed to dissolve the party, the states would do it individ ually
 The National party adjourned until tomorrow after electing David Coates of Colorado permanent chairman, so as to give the prohibitionsts time to ob tain their credentials before serious business was taken up.

Hermansen saw eight men on another raft, but before even- ing all had died or were washed off
 The second engineer of the Havna was landed at another port. He was rescued from wreckage to which he had bee nclinging for two days and nights.

 Delegates predicted that many other states would take similar action.
 The split came as result of the fail ure of the prohibitionists to endorse merger with the national party over which they have been debating for two days. On a test vote the majority of the delegates clearly stood in favor of the merger but it was impossible to ob- tain the thirds majority necessary. During this time some half dozen reso- lutions were introduced in an effort to reach an agreegent satisfactory to the delegates as whole, but it was inn possible to pass any of them.
 Split Not Surprise
 The split did not come as com plete surprise, for the merger faction had given warning on the floor of the convention that it intended to go with the nationalsts regardless of the re- suit of the debate. It was not gener- ally believed, however, that the split would be so complete.
 The Prohibitionists although defeat ing every attempt in the convention to authorize a complete merger voted to cooperate and federate" with the na- tional party The resolution to this eff feet was introduced as compromise by Dr. Charles Scanlon of Pittsburg who led the anti-m merger attack. This measure did not in any way meet the approval of the merger faction and 1t was impossible to gain even a majority for it. Until it was certain that two thirds majority in favor of the merger could never be reached. The merger faction then. worn out by two days of heckling, badgering and bitter debate which made a split imminent yielded and the resolution passed by vote of 203 to 75 The convention then ad journed and the national committee went into session.
