Privy Council Sets April 5
as Date for Home Rule
Law to Become Effective

LONDON, Feb. 81 (By The Associ-
ated Press) During a discussion in
the House of Commons today of Cap
tain William Wedgwood Benn's
amendment to the reply to the adj
dress from the throne denouncing the
governments Irish policy, Sir Hamar
Greenwood, Chief Secretary for Ire
land, warned the House that the Sim
Feln conspiracy was spreading to
England and read memorandum can
tured at Sim Fen headquarters deal
ing with an appropriation to the Irish
republican army of $4,000, mostly
from Irish h-American citizens.
The document emphasized the i'm
portance of large scale operations
"abroad,' and suggested Liverpool as
holding out the greatest nope. Staff
e1hcers, it added, should be given a
Tree hand. and it proposed the destruc-
ton of large ships and buildings bv

whereby trains and trans could be
wrecked, and the destruction of farms.
Operations should Se directed to
encouraging direct action and incite-
1nent OF nobs to looting," the docu-
ment continued, "and the officer in
charge should not be han1pered by con-
slderation of preserving life.''
Blames Asquith Regime
The Chief Secretary sought to blame
the Asquith Administration for the
present situation in Ireland, and iusti-
fed the policy Of the present govern
ment.
Lord Robert Cecil, in his first speech
from the Opposition benches, con-
demned reprisals in unmeasured terms
as responsible for the situation in Ire
land, which, he asserted, was worse
than for 120 years. He declared that
evidence had reached him of wide
spread looting by the crown forces. He
exhorted the government to abandon
all concealment and make a searching
investigation of all the events as the
sole means of restoring the confidence
of the country. He proposed the ap-
pointment of a commission of three-a
judge, a general and layman of un-
doubted reputation--for this task.
The debate was continued by Joseph
Devlin, Nationalist, Mr.. Asquith and
others, supporting Lord Roberts ad-
vocacy. of an impartial investigation.
Mr.. Bonar Law, for the government,
dwelt on the impo9sbility of the sug-
gested public inquiry.
The Benn amendment was rejected
and the reply to the address from the
throne formally adopted
The Privy Council has decided that
the home rule act for Ireland shall go
into effect April 8. The first step un-
Ger the act is to be the issuance of
writs for elections to the new parlia-
ments, which probably will take place
three weeks afterward. The Belfast
Parliament will assemble in June.
The present prospects seem to be
that few candidates will come forward
for the southern parliament, and it
seems doubtful whether this parlia-
II ent will be formed.

The separation suit of Mrs. Theresa
Pollock, of 445 West Forty seventh

According to Mrs. Pollack, her hus-

ALBANY, Feb. Ex-Governor
Miller was informed tonight of
the retaining of United States
Senator Hiram johnson, of Cali
fornia, by the City of New York
to fight his traction program.
The Governor laughed and
said:
is there so little talent on their
side of the proposition that they

This action is somewhat contrary
to the policy that they were op-

Commenting on a report that

From The Tribune's Washsngto,. Bur,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-President
Harding is to have two secretaries,
with more or less equal rank, accord
ing to the belief OF some men here
very close to him. The two men, it is
said, will be George Christian, who has
been his secretary for six years. and
Richard Washburn Child, the maya
zine writer, who assisted Mr.. Harding
during the campaign.
The duties of the two men, it is said,
will be so distinct that no conflict of
authority will arise. Mr.. Christian is
to occupy most of the functions per-
formed BY MIR. Tumulty prior to Presi-
dent Wilson's Illness. That is to say,
he will greet visitors, make appoint
ments for the President and generally
act as his proctor against the tre-
mendous demands on his time.
Mr.. Child, it is said, will aid the
President in the preparation of impor-
tant documents and letters and perform
the functions of the usual private
secretary for an important man.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-While interest in
the Irish situation increases daily

Of Commons and neither side appears
to be making any progress in the de-
Gates.
The English claim that the Repub-
lican army headquarters at Dublin
were seized in Saturdays raids is gen
orally discredited in Snn Fein circles
which assert that the headquarters are
mobile and that the. rooms seized had
no connection with the military part
of the organization, being devoted to
propaganda purposes. The raids are
associated with the recent arrest OF
ity director, and it is said that the
Sim Fein publicity may be temporarily
disturbed.
The area included in Saturdays raids
was again searched to-day, also the

Three Hundred Attends
Party at Christian Church

The Halloween party held at
the Christian Church on Monday
evening was attended by at least
three hundred people. Games were
played by the young generation
and the "spooky corner" was pro-
nounced, by the many who had
the pleasure Of visiting it, as very
unique and ghostly. Many per-
son came out shaking and with
cold sweat dropping off of their
brows. This attraction, according
to our estimation, was tho best
part of the evenings entertainment
The usual attendant, the fortune
teller, was present and read the
past, present and future Of . hun
dred or more and the anxious ones
we're told many = startling OBJ
struction in their lives.
At about $50 o'clock lunch, con-
sisting of pumpkin pie, doughnuts,
apples and coffee, was served to
the large number who report the
party one of the best yet.

be Successful Enterprise

The new oil station of Nelson &
McAninch, on the corner of Wash
ington and Carthage streets, is
nearing completion and has its
opening today. When finished, it
will be a beauty spot as we'll as a
service station.
The Office will be kelastoned
which will add to it's attractiveness
and almost the entire lot has been
Aoored with cement. A small
building has been erected for the
storage Of oils, etc.
Nelson & McAninch are we'll
equipped for the service. They
have purchased two or three lots
near the depot, removed the old
buildings which we're on them and
erected storage tank with a cap
acity of 10000 gallons for the
storage of their gas, 3 carload of
which arrived last week.
The location Of the station is
ideal, being on the corner where
the Atlantic road connects with the
