IRISH STRUGGLE
BROUGHT TO END
British House of Lords Sanctions New
Erin Settlement

LONDON-The centuries old strug-
gle between England and Ireland end
ed Monday night when the legislation
giving the sanction of law to the new
settlement with Ireland passed its fl
nal stages in the House of Lords,
which for generations has bitterly
opposed any accommodation with
Ireland.
The constitution bill has gone thru
both houses of Parliament without
an amendment, and even without d.
vision being challenged. Lord Carson
alone, whoe influence was mainly re-
sponsible for failure to settle the
Irish question in 1914, and who has
throughout his political career been
the bitterest opponent of home rule,
persisted to the end in his role of last
ditcher, even when such traditional
anti-home rulers as the Marquis of
Lansdowne, and the Duke of Devon
shire had gracefully yielded to the
government view and resolved to give
Ireland chance to prove her SINGER
ity under new conditions.

behalf of the democrats accepted the
proffer saying:
I'VE have no apologies to make for
our filibuster. We had no desire to in
terfere with the transaction OF the

went so far as to invade a public and
constitutional right We, however, re.
serve the right to renew our maneuv.

Had to Lower Casket From Apart
ment Window by Block and Tackle

NEW YORK, - Even in death,
George Augur, the circus giant was
all out of gear with the world of
comparative Lilliputians in which he
was SO miserably conspicuous. His
funeral arrangements necessitated feats
of elementary engineering. The Gus
tomary arrangements for burial were
necessarily performed on a prodigious
scale
Twelve strong men were hired to
bear his pail and even they could not
handle the huge coffin. eight feet six
inches long and three feet wide.
Therefore it was necessary to rig a
block and tackle to lower the giant
from the window of the apartment
in which he died Friday afternoon of
indigestion. At Holly Grove cemetery
the sexton had prepared a grave twice
the size of the ordinary grave and had
erected crane to let the coffin into
the ground
