Patience Is
Advised In
Irish Row
Lord Bir1lwa d Says Pro-
|, ,,G ,Gn''SasI,,SSsA sAu 'een Made

Defends British Stand

London, July 2S.-An interesting
debate, revealing a clash OF views
among unionist peers, took place
Wednesday in the House OF Lords
on the Irish negotiations. The mar
quis of Salisbury. inviting the gov
ernment to make statement on the
subject, complained OF the indefinite
delay and protested that unionist
acquiesccnce in the delay might be
interpreted as approval OF the ncgo-
tiations.
The truth is" he declared, "we
feel great shame and humiliation, and
We are only awaiting government
statement to make our position
clear"
Lord Birkenhead, lord high chan
cellor, replying for the government,
confessed he was puzzled to know
who the marquis of Salisbury meant
by 1--WE"
For myself and my unionist col
leagues" said Lord Birkenhead, we
are utterly unconscious of any shame
in the negotiations undertaken, or the
proposals made"
Defends Government.
The high chancellor proceeded
warmly to defend the government
proposals.. saying they should be ac-
cepted. The government not only
welcomed but challenged criticism.
IF the proposals were rejected. it
would be none the ltss necessary to
acquaint Parliament and the country
with the nature of the proposals.
Moreover, in the event OF their
acceptance, the government would
recommend them to Parliament, ard
if they failed to meet with the neces-
sary support, the government would
have to consider whether the ncces-
sary support was likely to be forth
coming elsewhere.
Pleads for Patience.
Lord Birkenhead then pleaded fer
patience on the ground that those
in Ireland who were discussing the
were confronted with SIM
liar difficulties and considerations
as varied as here among those they
have to consult.
He would be extremely surprised
if Lord Salisbury secured much sup
port in attempting to complain that
the representatives OF southern Ire
land took some weeks to consider
they were prepared to ac-
cept the proposals. He failed to see
how anyone could grudge delay ac--
companied by happy cessation
rom the outrages which had previ-
ously occurred.

Shanghai, July 28.-Moves and
counter moves in the middle Iangtse
valley region indicate the coming OF
civil strife between the Canton south
ern government and the Pekin north
ern government. The quarrel appar-
entity started between the southern
province OF Human and the northern
province of Hupeh.
Southern agitators are said to
have been at work. but doubling the
loyalty of TIE Human military gov
ernor. they have instigated mutiny
in Chang Sha, the capital OF the
province, looting and partially burn
ing the place, according to Hankow
reports. The foreign populations OF
the city, totalling approximately 200,
are not believed to have been
harmed
>Gunboats in Readiness.
WI Pei Flu. the northern military
hero, is reported to be rushing troops
into Hupeh. Wang Chang Yuan, the
governor of the province, has assured
foreigners that they will be afforded
every protection. but the American
river gunboats, Quiros and Albany,
are lying off Hankow, the Chicago
OF China with their decks cleared for
action. while the British gunboats.
Tell and Woodcock, have proceeded
to Iochow
Apparently no fighting has taken
place as yet. but feverish prepara-
tons are being made.
Aimed at Pekin Faction.
That the whole movement is a part
of a plan formulated by President
Sun Vat Sen of the Canton govern
mcnt against the Pekin government,
is evidenced by dispatch from Can
ton saying Sun had issued orders to
his military leaders to relieve Hupeh
from its present military domination.
The report says Sun Vat Sen is pre-
pairing to lead a part Of his army
toward Hankow as the first step OF
a march on Pekin.
The Pekin government is silent,
but foreigners believe that any in
creased activity on the part Of WI
Pal Flu, which would give him popu
ar support, may lead to break be-
.ween Tsao Kun, the military gov
,rnor OF Chilli, his immediate su-
oerior, and Chang Tso Ling, the
military governor of Manchuria, and

Peter Holmberg case, holding that
when a divorce is granted and one
of the divorced parties dies before
the expiration of six months such
divorce decree sneyer became ef-
fcctive, was received by Ross Shot
well, attorney, yesterday.
Decision is based on the ground
that action or cause for divorce does
not survive alter the death OF one OF
the parties. 1t is regarded by many
Omaha attorneys as one OF the most
important decisions handed down by
the supreme court in many months.
As applied to the Holmberg case
the decision will, beyond dispute,
make Mrs. Augusta Holmberg sole
heir to her husbands estate, ac-
cording to Mr.. Shotwell.
Decree Granted.

against his wife. Augusta, July 9,
1919, charging that she treated him
like stranger and boardcr in their
home. They were married January
%, 1914, in Council Bluffs and at
the time of bringing divorce action
Peter was about II.
In a cross-petition Augusta charged
Peter with nonsupport and declared
that he had bought her only calico
dresses since their marriage.
A divorce decree was granted Au
gusta on October "a, 1919 He paid
her $3.50 alimony.
On December II, less than two
months after the divorce was grant
ed, Peter died. The wife asked that
lis estate be probated in county
court, claiming she was his widow
on the ground that six months had
not expired since the, divorce decree
as handed down.
Will Leaves Out Wife.
Peter had left Will, leaving part |
OF his $1,000 estate to Swedish |
Methodist church here and the re-
mainder to friends in Iowa. He was
born in Sweden and had no relatives
here. He did not m@ntion Augusta
in the will.

held she was actually his widow, and
allowed her widows pension. At
torney Shotwell, however, filed a
motion asking District Judge Wake
ly to vacate the divorce action. so
she might be "thc widow of record"
Judge Wakely refused to abate the
action.
His decision was technically up
held by the supreme court. which
ruled that no court could abate the
divorce action. The supreme court
v ent farther, however. and said that
the action was automatically vacated

Washington, July Is. -- President
Earding's efforts to induce congress
TO take recess received another set
back today, when the senate steering
committee yielding to demands OF
the agricultural bloc, added two
more important measures to the leg
islative program OF the present ses-
sion. 8,
The two measures are;
The Capper- -Tinchei bill to regu-
late grain exchanges as amended by
the senate agricultural committee.
The Kenyon bill to give the farm
crs representation i'll regulating the
national banking machinery by max
ing the secretary of agriculture
member of the fedora. reserve board.
The two bills, the steering commit
tee decided, will take their place on
the senate calendar fer consideration
in the order named Immediately
after the anti-beer bill is passed.
The committee took no action
with regard to the much discussed
question OF giving tax revision pre-
cedence over the tariff bill. Men,
bers were of the opinion that this
problem had not yet reached such
stage as to call for action.
Senator Norris Collapses.
The Capper-T -Tincher bill has been
passed by the house, but it has been
amended by the senate to make 1t
somewhat less Objectionable to the
grain exchanges. The agriculture
bloc has been insisting that action
lie taken on this measure at the
present session.
At the conclusion of vehement
attack upon the administration and
its supporters in the senate for side
tracking his $l00.000,000 farm ex-
port corporation bill, Senator Norris
Of Nebraska, chairman of the agri-
cultural committee, collapsed as a
result of exhaustion, due to heart
weakness and the hest.
He finished his speech of several
hours length and walked into the re-
publican cloak room. where he
crumpled into a heap. Several Of his
colleagues carried him into nearby
committee room, where first aid was
administered by Senator Ball Of
Delaware. a physician. Later Sem
ator Norris was removed to his home,
where it was stated his condition was
not serious.
To Replace Bill
Earlier in the day, the agricultural
committee, under the pressure of
administration influence, decided to
displace the Norris bill with substi-
tute, said to be less likely to invite
President Harding's veto. The vote
was 10 to ?. Senator Norris vigor-
ously resisted the substitution of tine
new bill, but only Senator Ladd of
North Dakota supported him.
The substitute bill is compound
of parts of the Norris bill and parts

The governor held long confer
ence in Chicago with number OF

While it is expected that he will
return to Springfield very soon AMI
surrender to Sheriff Mester, Attor-
ney General Brundages forces are

part OF the governor to surrender to
Cook county judge and obtain his
release on a habeas corpus writ.
Brundage's men, it is said. will 20 to
the extreme to carry the fight 10 the
state supreme court to win their
point. Men behind the prosecution
OF the governor profess not to be
worried about the governor obtain
ing his release on a habeas corpus
writ. In such an event the proceed
ings could be instituted again on
some other count and he would be
required to secure second writ O.

state, it is said, a fugitive warrant
will be issued.
There is a precedent in Illinois
which spoils the chances of the gov
craor to escape by means OF writ
OF fabeus corpus issued By Cook
county Judge. The supreme court
has held in a similar case that this
action is illegal.
Sterling Alarmed.
To add to the governors worries,
tho news was brought from Rock
ford that Lieutenant Govrnor Ster-
ling indicted with Governor Small as
a co-defendant, is alarmed at the
present tangle and plans to come to

that he be tried alone and is reported
to desire that his case be heard by
Judge Smith of Springfield.

intimation that he is hiding. In fact,
he has made no attempt to hide. He
is stopping at prominent hotel in
Chicago, eating i'll a public restaurant
and is frequently seen in the streets. !
1t was said tonight that he plans to
