LONDON, May 2S.-A grave con-
stitutional crisis faced the now
Tory government of Premier Stan
ley Baldwin when the House of
Commons convened today. 1t arose
over the ''BiIl Of indemnity" intro
duced in parliament to relieve
Home Secretary William Give
Brdgeman and his associates from
damage penalties incurred through
the illegal deportation OF Irish re-
publican sympathizers to Ireland.
Premier Baldwin's position was
made more difficult through the
publication Of an open letter from
Austen Chamberlain, one Of the
main leaders Of the moderate fac.
ton Of the Tory party, claiming he
was not consulted when the new
government was formed. This
action indicated that the Tory
moderates in commons would Join
with the liberals and laborites in
opposing the government in.
demnity measure.
All the party whips were active
lining up the members for the par
liamentary fight. Despite the COM
bined opposition, leaders of the gov
eminent forces on the floor Of Com
mons said they hoped to pass the
indemnity bill before Wednesday.
The indemnity bill goes further
than naturalization of the home
secretary and attorney general for
the illegal deportation of 10 Irish
men and women from England. 1t
proposes to invest future home Sec
retaries with powers Of wartime
scope; that is. authority to cause
arrest and imprisonment without
trial.
It was the attempted use of such
power that brought about civil war
in England and the eventual execu.
ton Of King Charles I.
Ramsay Macdonald, Laborite, and
official leader of the opposition in
Commons, said every known means
OF parliamentary obstruction would
be used to flight the measure to
it's DEATH"
The Irish men and women who
were deported united in an appeal
to Commons asking a hearing "be-
fore the bar Of the House in OPP
position to the indemnity bill"
Ramsay Macdonald, leader of the
Laborites; former Premier David
Lloyd George and former Premier
Asquith all addressed the house, ex-
pressing regret over the retirement
of A. Bonar Law as premier and ex-
tending congratulations to Baldwin.
Lloyd George and Asquith are lead
ers of the opposing factions Of the
Liberal party.
Speaker J. H. Whitley, of the
AA TvIC oh
appeal.
Premier Baldwin informed Com
mons that the government will ac-
cept all claims that may be filed by
irish deportees for financial losses
and damages.
Premier Baldwin was given
rousing reception when he made his
first appearance in Commons in his
official capacity as premier. 1t was
a striking Tory demonstration.

First Admission Of Defeat.
This was de Valera's first formal
admission Of defeat. His discourage
ment was shown some weeks ago

regulars to cease firing and made
a peace offer to the Free State
government.
De Valero is the last of the prom
inent Republican leaders at large.
The others have either been killed
or imprisoned. De Valera is still In
hiding, but it Is understood that
the Free State could have seized
him at any time within the cast
few months.
Army a Mere Handful.
The republican irregular army
has dwindled to a mere handful
and most Of the country is tranquil.
1t was reported here that the
Free State government will launch

000) next month. The bonds will
be in denominations Of from SIS to
$500, and will pay per cent. 1t
is expected that all the issue will
be quickly subscribed in Ireland.

that ii the question was submitted
to the people, 1t would be effeolually
and for all time settled.
Attempts to modify the applica-
ton of the county superlntendency
act to various counties have so far
met with little success. A number
OF counties began by introducing
bulls TO prohibit their county boards
of education from paying the salar-
les of the county superintendents
out of the common school fund,
which would leave only the $500
annually paid by the state, as COM
pensation for the superintendents IN
those counties. A bull of this
character affecting Fulton, Sharp
and Baxter counties was passed by
the House aud tabled IN Senate.
Thls was followed by the introduc.
tion OF a bill by Mr.. Street of Sharp
to authorize the county board to pay
a salary of sI.o0 year in addition
to the amount paid by the state. A
similar measure has come from the
Senate sponsored by Senator Mason

ly that 1t is easier to pass such
measures in the Senate and let the
House kIll them than to take up
the important time of the Senate
in lengthy debates.
Two important general measures
are to be considered in the House
this week. The Belote Severance
tax bill, which is an administration
measure, Is a special order for
Thursday morning and will prob
ably consume several hours, al
though at this time there Is no well
defined opposition TO 1t. Wednes-
day morning the House will resume
consideration Of the Caudle bill for
the removal of the College of Ag'
.iculture from Fayetteville to
Russellville. This is the bill that
was under consideration and which
was being discussed by Hon. w. l..
Lee, representative from Yell coun-
~, when his dramatic death occurred
on the floor of the House last Wed
nesday. The friends and opponents
of the measure are working hard for
and against it and the alignment is
very distinct. The fate of this
measure is considered by many as
indicative Of the probable sentiment
that will prevail when the greater
problem of University removal
comes up. This measure is being
proposed by an organization in
Little Rock last weeS aud the bill
may make its appearance almost
any day. One proposition affecting
tbe University has already been
submitted to the Senate in a bill by

Little Rock, Jan. 90. The

The most striking feature of this

parliamentary red tape to retard
business. The senate works at a,
higher tension than does the larger
and more un wieldly house 1t there
fore transacts considerable more busi
ness than the other branch Of the
Assembly. Laboring under such
stress the senate must in some man
ner find relaxation occasionally i
Visitors IN the galleries at these

tY and decidedly lacking in decor
um. One incident Of this kind dur
ing the past week developed in the
discussion of bill by Mr.. Butler
from Greene county, which would
cause :he owner TO restrain chick

passed this bill and then sent to the
house asking Its return. When
brought hack the bill was so amend
ed that further consideration Is de-
ferred until January 10, l949 The
debate ard parliamentary procedure
on this momentuous question was
mirth provoking and IN the hour
that followed more business was
transacted than had been accom-
plished In the balance of the day.
Another constitutional amendment
was proposed IN the senate during
h, past wtet by Mr.. DulantY o.
Lutte River. If submitted to the
people and adopted, this amendment
will permit the Legislature to levy a
five instead of a three mill state
school tax. 1t will permit counties
by referendum to levy two mill
county school tax and a district
may vote in addition thereto a tax
of ls instead of l2 mills. But the
district tax must designate how the
fund 30 created is to be expended,
specifying in mills the amount to
be spent for maintenance of schools,
improvements and in paying debts.
The present 81 poll tax is retained
but must be paid by both men and
women instead OF only the male vot
ers and persons sixty years or over
are exempt. Senator Dulaney be-
lieves this amendment will solve
the financial school troubles of the
state.
During the third week of the
session of the General Assembly |
the House emphaticAlly repudated |
the efforts Of certain members to
bring about a reputation of $780,
900, 900 worth Of bonds issued by
special road districts created by the
legislative sessions of 1919 and 1920.
The resolution which was offered by |
Mr.. De Witt of Benton and signed |
by four other mem bers of the House,
brought forth storm of protest
from the press and business men
generally over the state. The
proposition was referred TO the com
mittee on constitutional amend
ments, but the opposition became
so strong that two days later 1t was
recalled by a decisive vote and laid
upon the table from which it will
never be resurrtcled
The House has also placed its
stamp of dIsapproval upon proposl-
tlons for the raising of salaries Of
state officials and employees. The
Senate passed two bills, one to raise
