 Refers to Irish Question. The royal speech called attention to the fact that the Irish constitutio on must become effective by December sixth under the stipulations laid down at the time the Anglo-Irish treaty was framed and signed. The King concluded with the de- claration that an estimate of the necessary expenditures would be laid before Commons in due course of time-
 The state opening of parliament was conducted with all the pomp and pagentry of olden days. During the middle of the morning, before the members had taken their seats, the beef eaters' from the tower of Lon don, dressed in ancient costume and carrying spears, searched the vaults under Commons for hidden bombs. This precautiOn was not a result of present unrest. It is a relic of the days Guy Hawkes., dissatisfied with political conditions several centuries ago, planted his gunpwoder bomb in the subterranean vaults to blow up the House.
 King Safely Guarded.
 Scotland Yard not only increased the police guard aDOut BuchlnSndH Palace and Westminster, but provided a strong escort of mounted police and secret service agents to accom- pany the king from the palace to Westminster and back again.
 This was the fifth Parliament to be held in the reign of King George, but it was far different from a political aspect than any other in the past six years. It is a party Parliament, the Coalition of Tories and Liberals having been dissolved when the Lloyd George cabinet collapsed a month or so ago.
 It is the smallest Parliament owing to the absence of any repre- sentation from the Irish Free State in 12 years.
 The new House of Commons begins work under a truce. Leaders of the various political groups agreed not to make any attack against the Bonar Law government until after the Irish bill is out of the way. This measure will occupy about a fortnight.

POISON TRAGEDY
 MOTIVE SOUGHT;
 FAMILY OF s DEAD

Lancaster, O., Nov. 2S-IBs The A. P)-While partial solution of the mystery surrounding the snuffing out
 of the lives of the entire family of Irwin HenderSOn-father mother and four small children-was expected to come through examination of vital or gans of the two adults at Columbus today, officials here were basing their investigation of the tragedy on the sGppOsdtion that the family died from the effects of poison Intentionally ad- ministered
 Theories that the deaths were ac cidental were cast aside while police and county officials searched for eAe possible perpetratOr and plausible motive.
 Opinion that the six persons whose bodies were found in the Henderson home yesterday died from the effects en with their evening meal on Tues day. was expressed by pr. R. w. Mondhank, a local physician, who at tended them several days previous 10 their deaths and yesterday per formed an autopsy
 Foremost in the minds of the in VestgatorS today apparently was the possibility that responsibility for the deaths rested within the family. Mrs. HenderSon, according to Dr. Mond- hank. had been in i'll health for some time and he laid stress upon the pos sibility that she might have been IlSnJally unpalauteu DN DIOITaCteu illness.
 She frequently had conducted her self strangely in his presence, Dr. said. especially during ilI- ness of several members of the family which preceded their deaths, and which, it was thought, might have been caused by taking poison either in quantities too large or too small to have fatal effect.
 Attention was still being given the statement of Henderson to Dr. Mond- hank that he believed enemies were giving him poison and Henderson's intimation in an unmailed letter di- reCted to the State Department of Health that someone might have en- tered his home and placed poison in the familys provisions. but these theories have been discounted some what by investigation. Henderson had given the physician the name of T man he said he suspected of bear l uE i'll feeling toward him because Henderson had been employed at the 1 Pennsylvania railroad shops where l he shopmen's strike remains unset ! led. but officials believed it highly inn | probable that such suspicion would | De substantiated.
