HOME RULE FOR IRELANB IS NEAR That Country Never & Chance as is Hers Now in Her History had Such T FIGHTER FOR THE IRISH CAUSE OPTIMISTIC T. P. O’Conner, M, P., Friend and Lieutenant of John Redmond, s in this Country in Behalf of the Irish Cause—irish- - mericans Asked to Help Ireland Make the Most of Her Fresent Opportunity. New York, Oct. 22.—"Ireland never | pass by 300 votes in the house a home in her history had such a chance for home rule as is hers now." said T. P. ©O'Connor, member of parliament from Liverpool, friend and lieutenant of John Redmond and fighter for the Irish cause, at his hotel in this city tonight. He was sitting in his room preparatory to attending a_reception In his honor by irish societies, and though pressed for time he paused to talk optimistical- ly of hiy country’s future, a subject which he will preach into the ears of Irish-Americans from now until Nov. 10. For that i what brotight him to the United States today on the Lusi- tdnia. Is Here to Sol Aid. ‘But there is an if,” he continued. “Ireland must make the most of her chance and it is to ask Trish-Ameri- | cans to help her make the most of it, | to contribute to the carrying through of the general clection mow approach- ing, that I am here. We are a_poor people and of the eighty-one national or Irish membess of parliament the people have to support perhaps sixty by private subscription. A seat in th: house with us, you knmow, carries no salary corresponding to the office of your representatives in congress. ‘Shall the Peers or People Rule?” “The whale United Kingdom is in ferment. Such revolutionary public utterances in responsible pesitions and such an answéring temper in the peo- ple have not been known in three generations—not since the '30's, when the rotten boroughs were wiped out. “The issue befors the people has been put squarely hy Lloyd-George and the people understand it. T cannot do bet ter than repeat his phrase: ‘Shall the peers or people rule?” King Edward is Anxious. “King Edward has foreknowledge of the crisis that may confront him and the measure of his recent activities is a measure of his anxiety.

The present government would | | | | | | rule bill for Ireland were they not withheld by a conviction that the peers would promptly veto it. Therefore they will not waste time on a bill sure to be killed when there is so much other important legislation pending.

That is a bill passed by | the house may still be rejected by the lords, but if the house again passes it in the face of this rejection the bill shall forthwith become law. “You ask me why the peers will grant this concession. Because if they refuse it the premier, with the coun- try behind him, would say with all re- spect to the king: ‘Sir, you must give me a majority in the house of lords.’ The king may do this by the creation of new peers. He has done it for his own ends in the past, and in this in- stance he would have to do it because the sovereign under the constitution must follow the advice of his respongi- ble ministers. King Trying to Compromise the Situa- tion. Suppose the lords pass the budget. The government in my opinion will still find a pretext to go before the people for support on the deeper issue formulated by Lloyd-George, which I have already quoted. But suppose again that the government, going be- fore the people for support, is defeated. Why, even then we shall have such a small Torv majority that the national, Irish, vote would command the sit- And it frequently happens d can get more from a Tory than a-liberal government, because the peers, being statically Tory, must sup- port the measures that come up to them from a Tory minisgry. “King Edward does not wish to face the crisis I have suggested. He is trying to compromise the situation, to bring the peers to_a realization of their embarrassment. Whether he wins or loses, Ireland cannot lose. If she rises to_ her opportunity home rule is hers within from three to five years.” TRIAL OF DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST HATTERS’ UNION. Name of Gompers and the A. F. of L. Figures Prominently. Hartford,* Oct, 22—The name of Bamuel Gompers, and the organization of which he is president; the American Federation of Labor, figured promi- Rently today in the course of the trial ©of the $240,000 damage suit of D. E. Toewe of Danbury against about 200 union hatters in this state. During the examination of Secretary Connolly of the Danbury union, allusion was made to a conference held in Washington with Mr. Gompers and the executive council of the Federation of Labor. Soon_afterwards Attorney Davenport for the plaintiffs began reading ex- tracts from articles in the American Yederationist, in which reference was made to & number of boycotts being pushed against non-union firms. The attorneys for the defense ob- jected to the reading of selected para- graphs which would give an unfair im- pression to the fury. A battle between the lawyers followed. in the course of which Mr. Davenport said that in ev- ery number of the Federationist, com- mencing back as early as the big strike, similar statements to those cit- ed can be found. The expressions re- ferring to boycotts were, “Boycotts are being pushed but are not_given. enough circulation.” “We're pushnig boycotts as much as posstble.” “Doing all pos- sible work to boycott.” Another article in the Federationist and dated Washington. headed official, was read by Attgrney Davenport which gave a list of “unfair” firms and warn- ~d members of the unions and house- wives to refrain from patronizing such firms. Late this afternoon Attorney venport began reading to the jury the constitution of the American Federa- tion of Labor from 1881 to 1903. TELEPHONE COMRANY MERGER.

New York, Oct. 2 Law corpora- tions cannot have the appraval of the courts of this state to carry on a gen- eral practice in the name of a cor- poration, according to a decizion by the Ip&a]llte division of the supreme court today, denying the approval of the applications of the Associated YLawyers' company. In refusing its ap- provel the court said: “The impro- priety of allowing corporations to en- ter into such business has been un versally recognized and prohibited.

New Haven, Oct. 22.—As indicating the return of better industrial times in southern New England, the returns of the New York, New Haven & Hart- ford Railroad Co. show that at the present time they have as idle cars, 29 flat cars, 80 coal cars, and 18 re- trigerator cars, while there is a siiort- age of four hundred and forty-two of box cars, thus indicating a net car shortage on the whole system of three hundped and fifteen cars. As regards the relations of the com- pany to foreign cars, the returns for the middle of October show 16,489 for- eign cars upon the system, while 13,563 cars of the New Haven system are up- on outside roads, showing a debtor ‘alance against the company of 2,926 as compared with a debtor balance in 1608 at the same time of 4,457 cars, of 16,188 cars in 1907 and 12.259 cars 1906. This heavy diminution of ti car balance against the company dur- ing the last three years is due to the large purchases of new eqiipment bought and delivered during the last two years, all of which is now in use, and ‘also,’ in part, to new arrange- ments made with the outside compa- nies for the use of New Haven rolling. stock. As compared with the year 1907 the last previous vear of prosperity, the net ggin of the New Haven eom- pany in the matter of car payments to outside companies has been about a million and a quarter dollars a year. The significant feature of the returns, however, is its index of returning pros- perity in- New England as shown by the full employment of practically ail the company’s freight cars, which by the last official report numbered 34,- 184, MOONLIGHT AEROPLANE lFLIGH'I'. Wilbur Wright and Pupil Up for For- ty-Two Minutes. College Park, Md., Oct. 22.—With practically ideal conditions and under a bright moonlight, a flight lasting for forty-two minutes was made by Wil- bur Wright in his seroplane early this evening.

NEVER GOMPLETELY RALLIED From Appendicitis Operation Perform- ed Nine Days Ago—Picturesque Fig- ure in Greater New York’s Politics. New York, Oct. 23.—Patrick H. Me- Carren, state senator and democratic leader of Brooklyn, died at St. Cather- ine’s hospital, Brooklyn, at 1.15 o'clock this morning, never having completely rallied from the effects of an opera- tion for appendicitls which -was per- formed on October 13. “Knew | Was Dying the Day | Walked Into This Hospital.” His death was not unexpected. In fact, the senator himself realized throughout - the afternoon . and the earlier part of the night that his end was near. His physicians said that he had held the belief for months that he had not long to live and he said_so to the physicians in consultation. over him_today. “Gentlenien,” he said, “T know what you have come here for. There is no need for a consultation. 1 knew I was dying the day I walked into this hos- pital. I have made a study of my own case, and I find that my trouble is an old heart and an old stomach. If vou replace them with new ones there might~be a chance of my get- ting better.” Brave Fight for Life. Senator McCarren made a brave fight for life, but his Inability to take nourishment, his weakened heart and his general debilitated condition drew him neaver and nearer the end each day and although he rallied at times, his physiclans at no time expressed more than a slight hope for his re- covery. His iliness was watched closely by political leaders throughout the city and state, especially because it came at the Belght of a heated municipal campaign. On Thursday the senator expressed tlhie hope that he would be able to vote on election day, November 2, but his condition became so critical yesterday that it was seen that he could not survive the night. One of the most pathetic features of Senator, McCarren's illness was that his aged mother had not been apprised of his condition. She thought that the duties of the campaign had kept him away from home and Senator MeCarren insisted that she be kept in ignorance, for fear that the shock would be too great for her. Sixty-one Years of Age. Patrick Henry McCarren, by trade a cooper, by profession a lawyer, and by vocafion a politician, was one of the mostpicturesque figures in the po- litical history of Greater New York. Ng leader was ever more roundly con- demned, yet ‘at the Tlose of sixty-one ‘years of his life he probably was the most_strongly entrenched leader in New York state and even wielded some influence in national politics. Born in Massachusetts. Born in East Cambridge, Mass., he came to Brooklyn when he was eight years old. He was apprenticed to a cooper when sixteen, but, having mas- tered his trede, he took up the law and from the law went into politics. In 1882 he was sent to the state legis- lature and has since served almost continuously there. First Recognition as Coming Leader. Senator McCarren first became rec- ognized as a coming leader in the days when David B. Hill was at the height of his power. By 1898 he had become o well recognized that the democratic state committee made him head of the executive committee. Five years later he wrested the leadership ef Brooklyn from Hugh McLaughlin, who had held it for forty years. Since that time Senator McCarren had won all primaries, though his political death was predicted each year. At the democratic national conven- tion which nominated Alton B. Parker the task of inducing southern leaders to remain in line, following the arrival of the famous “gold” telegram, fell on McCarren’s shoulders. “The devil him- self is mixed up in our affairs” said Senator Ben Tillman. “Oh, no,” an- swered McCarren, “the Lord has taken a kindly hold.’ Opposition to Hearst Led to Treason Charges. Mr. Carren’s opposition to the candi- dacy of Mr. Hearst for governo charges of treasom, ‘and his delegates were excluded from the party conven- tion which last year named delegates to the Denver national comvention. Nevertheless he appeared there with delegates, who were again rejected. Hiy downfall was then confidently pre- dlc‘ed, but only last month he recelved what is regarded as final vindication when he won nineteen of the twenty- three districts of his borough. Courteous and Generous of Attention. Physically Senator McCarren was very tall and lank. His face was-al- most funereal whi§n in repese. In manner he was courteous and gener- ous of attention . but niggardly of speech. The qualities which in the opinion of his friends contributed most to his success in_ politics wero keen- ness. tenacity of purpose, personal fidelity, perfect self control and pa- tience. Young Life’s Romance. He was sometimes called a hard man and devoid of sentiment. “L had a romance once,” he said to a close friend. “When 1 was a young man 1 fell in love with a girl and we were married. We lived very happily. We had five children. When I was thirty- Sixth Avenue Elevated Tied Up—Sur- face Car Traffic Blocked.

FOOTPRINTS ON THE SAND Uneven, Wavering Tracks of a Man, Woman and Three Children—Prob- ably All Perished from Thirst. San Bernadino, Cal, Oct, 22.—T. H Kellogg, a rancher, while riding across the Mojave desert, the Carisho Creek country, yvesterday, came across the tracks of two teams. The wander- ing trails Indicated that the drivers of the teams either were lost or did not have control of mind left. He followed the trails for some distance and finally came upon a camp wagon and a buggy and farther away a horse dying of thirst. Futile Search for Water. Following the train further, he dis- covered the tracks of a man and a woman and three children. Uneven at times, retreating and wavering in pur- pose, ‘a8 though the travelers did not know which way to turn, the footprints on the sand told of the search for water against a desperately growing need.

Sometimes the trail of one or the other children disappeared, indicating that the father or. the mother had ex- pended a-last drop of energy in carry- ing ‘their dying little ones. The trail followed the bed of a dry creek for many miles and then led off towards the worst region of the desert. Lost Ones Unknown. When Kellogg returned searching parties were started out at omce, but no word has been reeeived. The lost ones are unknown. POLICE COURT EXAMINATION OF DR. GEORGE A. FRITCH.

Amendment of Interstate Commerce Laws Urged. Continuing, the president, said that in_addition to extending commerce, deep inland waterways would serve as the best means to control rajlroad rates. In the meantime he urged the amendment of the interstate commerce laws to make their provisions more effectiy 'y Mr.ATaft added that he did not favor radical legislation, that his purpose merely was to keep railroad companies { Within the bounds of the law and down to_reasonable rates.

In this connection he re- { ferred to the fact that in some places { there is a disposition to do injustice {'to the railroads and to drive the cor- to & system of economy prevents the development of the tey through which they pass. The president said it was oftn the case that the cltizens of a county would go to any extent to get a railroad to come into their county, but, once there, not one would be a friend of the raiiroad except perhaps the local counsel. These remarks brought laughter. “Square Deal” for Railroads.

President Taft arrived in _Corpus Christl on the revenue cutter Windom from his brother's ranch. After & short automobile ride through the prettily decorated city he was taken/ 10 a grandstand at the foot of a nat- ural terrace where the delegates to the waterways convention and the gemeral public were gathered. School children were much in evidence. The president made an immediate hit with his audience by asking that three tiers of seats immediately in front of him be vacated by the early comers to make way for a hundred or more veterans of the confederate and union armies who had been assigned to a more remote section of the inclosure. The day was exceedingly warm, When he began to speak Mr, Taft asked his hearers to possess themselves in peace and to console themselves by the thought that before he was through he would be considerably warmer than he who had to sit In the direct rays of the sun, Presented With Bag of Golf Clubs.

LESS SMUGGLING AT THE PORT OF NEW YORK Greater Observance of the Require- ments of the Law. ‘Waslhington, Oct. 2%--Collector . of Customs Loeb returned to New York today after another conference with Charles P. Montgomery, the chief of the customs division of the treasury department. The improvement of the. barge office in New York, the trial of the importers in progress In that city, the smuggling situation and a pro- posed revision of the bonds required to De furnished by the importers are among matters which Mr. Loeb has discussed with Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Hilles, Mr. Montgomery and other officlals. That smuggling _operations have been substantially dtscouraged fs Mr. Loeb's helief. He and the officials here belleve that the fewer seizures of late are an earnest of the breaking up of wholesale smuggling at the port of New York. The large number of full declarations now being made by the arrivals on the ocean liners tend to indicate a greater olmervance of the requirements of the law. Whether smuggling efforts, ordinar- ily directed against the New York customs, will be transferred to_other ports, is another question. Dress- makers have figured largely in_the cases brought to light in w York. These modistes go abroad, spend many thousands of dollars purchasing Ku= ropean goods. and In many cases brought to light have been troubled with ahsent mindedness the time came to fill out declarations. This practice seems to have been largely checked, but it remains to be seen whther those who would naturally use the New York customs house as & natural field of smuggling attempts will shift to other fields.
