Retiring from Parliament in 1888, he spent two years in California, but the thought of a political campaign was uppermost in his mind and the year 1885 found him back in Ireland running for office. He was defeated as a member from North Tyrone. wherupon he enter ed the race to represent East Mayo and went in by a substantial ma jority.
 Early in the second year of the World War he bitterly opposed the British Governments plan to raise an additional 100000 troops. Failing to carry this program. he launched an attack against con- scription. but finally agreed to abide by the wishes of Redmond and withdrew his opposition to the Military Service Bill.
 In 1916 he denounced the gov ernment's method of dealing with the Irish Revolt and condemned the practice of executing Irish rev. olutionists. He was the author of several motions in the House of Commons urging the government to disclose its plans for the admin istration of Ireland. declaring that decision to hold elections on the Home Rule question would be well comed throughout the Empire.
 In 1917 he attacked the Sind Feiners. declaring they had alien ated sympathy in the United States for the Irish cause. In another speech a year later he deplored the financial aid which the Sim Fein party was receiving in New York.

BALTIMORE MAYORS
 HOME Is BOMBED

Baltimore, Aug. 6. (P)-The home of Mayor William Browning was damaged at six o'clock this mcrr- ing which terrified his wife and two children and set fire to the rear of the home. The shock of the bomb rocked the exclusive For est Park section in the city's north west quarter. Mayor Browning was not at home. being enroute to St. Louis on official business.
 The police are unable to assign any motive to anyone for marking him and his family for death. Geo. Henry. Chief of Police and Inspec- tor, refused to express an opinion as to the motive. Other quarters however, which were outraged are taken in connection with the bomb explosions in New York and Phila- delphia. caused by raids of Sacco and Fanzetti sympathizers. The blast shook every house in the ar ca. shattering many windows and within a few seconds the inhabi- tants were pouring into the streets. The police found particles of bomb. which they believe was equipped with a timing devise.

JOHN DILLON FAMOUS IRISH
 LEADER DEAD IN LONDON

London, Aug. 5. (P)-John Dil- loQ, famous Irish leader. died in a London nursing home yesterday. following several abdominal oper- ations.
 The following biographical ar ticle on the life of Mir. Dillon is from advance matter sent out by Associated Press and is reproduced here for its news value:
 John Dillon. who succeeded John Redmond as chairman of the Irish Nationalist Party in 1918, was for more than 30 years one the out standing figures in the flight for Irish Home Rule. Almost from the day he entered Parliament in 1880 from Tipperay. at the age of 29 years, he was conspicuous in Irish politics, beginning his ca reer as a supporter of Charles Stewart Parnell, coadjutor with Gladstone in starting the fight for Home Rule.
 Long as understudy of Redmond, there were many who maintained that Dillon dictated the polices of his chief and shaped the National ist Party's course for years before taking over the leadership in name as we'll as in fact. The war brought about many differences be- tween the two men. but there nev- CT was q serious rupture. In all his ideas, vehemently. often voc- iferously expressed. Dillon was re- garded as the venturesome pioneer, while Redmond acted as force of sober. second-day reflection.
 Dillon was . physician by train ing and a politician by nature.

tic. Two vessels sailed for Seattle and the two coastwise mail boats and several smaller vessels left here on trading trips.
 We think this is a rather uni que record for the port of Nome and it is doubtful if any other port on the Pacific has record to equal it in dispatchin vessels to unusually distant places
 Nomeites should now make move to interest the government in building hangar big enough to house the largest dirigible known. the sooner this is accom- plished the sooner We will have big dirigibles arriving here and making Nome their headquarters for further exploration and scieu- tific work of the Arctic. It is well not to forget that polar ex- pedition has been planned for 1928 and that Nome was mentioned as the base for dirigible flights into the Arctic Nome has fairly good landing field at present and with improvements to be made iu regarding and surfacing this mon tn, it will make il one of the best landing fields in Alaska.
