UNIONISTS SEEK T0 UNDERMINE PREHIER Llogd-George's Rollowers Do Not - Expect Defeat; However London, Qct. 31.—Debate in the house of commons on the Irish question, particularly the unionist mo- tlon intended as a censure of the gov-. ernment, excited _ keen interest throughout Great Britain today. Evi- dence of this interést was found in the fact that it,was impossible to satisfy more than a fraction of the demands for seats in the restricted public galleries, hundreds of appli- cants being disappointed. The unionist motion of censure which was introduced by Col. John Gretton, follows: “That this house views with grave apprehension the action of the gov- ernment in entering upon negotiations with delegates from southern Ireland ‘who have taken the oath of alleglance to the Irish republic and have re- pudiated the authority of the crown. “And in view of the fact that an act Bf parliament for the settlement of the relations between Great Brit- ain and Ireland was passed as re- cently as last year, this house is of the opinion that no proposals for the government of southern Ireland should be made without the safiction ot {parliament.” Premier Returns. Premier Lloyd George returned to Lopdon from Chequers Court, his country home last night so that he might have final consultations with nig colleagues before replying to his assaflants in the house today. It was expecled ‘his speech’ would virtually be ‘the only feature of importance duging the debate and nowhere was there any apprehension that the re- sult of the vote on the motion of censure would involve the Jeast dan- ger to'the government's stability. s morning’s newspapers indulged in Gohsiderable speculgtion relative to the’ prime minister’s pronouncement, but‘they differed considerably in their fordeasts. ~ Some anticipated a clear statement as to-the progress of nego- tiation and the prospects of success while others, contendingthat as the meninvolved in the Irish conference were pledged to secrecy, it was im- possible that M. Lloyd George would reveal matters which must be held in confidence -until the conclusion of the negotiations. It was generally 'believed the premier’s speech would materially influence the ‘positions of the unionist party, but whether it would take the direction of ;rallying = the moderate majority to continued support of the o .

FIREMEN GET LOST | Three Members of Engine Company . 4 Found Themselves in Predica- ment for a Time Last Night, * Three members of the local fire department had a bewildering experi- ence last night, that brought about discomfiture for some time, but which luckily like tales in a story book, end- ed happily. The men, Captain James Crowe, John: Brophy and Patrick Kenney, of Engine Company No. 4, had respond- ed to a call to extinguish a forest fire in the northwestern part of the city, at-5:65 o’clock last night. The flames were located near Lioon lake. In order that they might be able to find their way back, the firemen took along two boys to act as guides. The firemen were confronted with a hard task in combatting the flames which were extinguished by the use of brooms. The work so engaged their attention that little thought was spent on how to get out of the woods. ‘When the flames had finally been subdued. the firemen with their aides found themselves baffled. Their wan- derings about brought them to the edge of Loon lake, where a shack oc- cupied by an Italian was located. This man directed the lost quintet out onto the Plainville road. On arriving at the Traut residence, the firemen then had to start back to get the apparatus which was left standing on Slater Road. FIND SCHOONER CAPSIZED J. W.

A history of the distinguished China- man on record in Washington says Ta Tsai Ting Kan, who is one of the lead- ing spirits in the delegation, left the locul high school about 1877. Shortly after he left the local high school he returned to his native country and en- tered the navy. His education, at that time making him among the few really educated Chinamen in the world, was recognized by the old Chinese dynasty to such an extent that he was made commodore of the Chinese fleet.,In 1912 he became vice admiral. When China became a republic Tsai Ting Kan was made a member of the cabinet and as such handled all Chin- ese forelgn affairs under President Yuan Shih Kai, A ‘search of the records of the local high school failed to reveal any trace of a Chinaman graduating in’ 1877. The earliest record of a Chinaman which could be found here was one named Chong Ting Kon. It is thought this is the same man, although the dates given here are 1880 to 1881. The rec- ord shows an attendance in the second middle or sophomore class. , He was not a regular student, according 'to local records, and did not re-register in 1882. S. S.
