“WISH MEMBERS EXASPERATED Because of Dublin Tragedy They Are in No Mood to Grant Concessions to Ulster PREMIER ASQUITH FORCED TO CHANGE PLAN — Postpones Taking Up the Amending Home Rule Bill—Dublin Deputy Police Commissioner Who Ordered Out Troops Suspended—His Superior Officer Resigns—John Red- mond Demands Punishment of Troops if Shooting Was Not Justified—Scottish Borderers Remain Prisoners in Barracks. London. July 27.—The first effect of | ishing lack of discretion.” ;Harrell had the Dublin. has been to smash plans for taking up the w“ tomorrow. The pre- mier today that the matter hag been ‘indefinitely postponed. The Irish members S0 exasperated over the killing of persons and the wounding of many others in the clash vesterday | the regular troops nd the volunteers that they are in‘no e of mind to grant any concessions to Ulster. The La- borites and many - Liberdis support The government announced in the house of commons today that Deputy Police Commissioner Harrell, who or- dered out the troops. had been sus- pended and that his superior, Commis- sioner Sir Jolin Ross, who expressed a desire to share the responsibility, had resigned his office. A spectal inquiry will be held, pro- ably by a judicial commission. In the meantime the demand for the removal of the Scottish Borderers from Dub- lin has not been granted, largely be- cause an attempt to march them out would be the signal for attacks by the mobs. They will remain prisoners in barracks until the anger of the people has cooled. The Nationalist members of par- liament held a meeting this afternoon and showed more animus against the castle than the government: they con- sider Viceroy Aberdeen’s official fam- fly prejudiced against the Nationalists, Redmond Demands Inquiry, A heated discussion was starteq in the house of commons by John Red- mond, the Nationalists’ leader, who demanded an impartial inquiry into the conduct of the troops, and their punishment if the shooting was not Justified. He demanded also that the regiment should be removed from Tre- land: that the proclamation against the importation of arms into Ireland should be withdrawn because Jt con- stituted a_serious danger and that the law he admimistered impartially Sir John Hoas Criticised. He called for the of Sir John Ross, the itie Mamliotoer of Dublin, ana said: “We had an experience of him in the Larkin riots. He is unfit to hold his office. He is a well known po- litical partisan.” Mr. Redmond compared “this mon- strous business” with the parades of volunteers armed, in Belfast. “To such a state of impotence has the British government been reduced in Ireland,” he said “that a subordinate official is able to call in soldiers without con sulting the executive of the country.” He expressed the hope that Irish people would not blame the troops too much and concluded amid great cheers: “Four-fifth of the Irish people will not submit any longer to be bullied and punished for conduct which Is al- lowed to go scot free in Ulster by an- other section of their fellow country- men.” james Deputy Commissioner. Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland, blamed Deputy Commis- sioner Harrell sharply for his “aston- assumed the whole nqgtmu. but the chief secretary put question he associated himself with what had been done, s and that if he did he would be also suspended. (Na- tionalist cheers.) g Holds Government Responsible, Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the e e ment's was respon: for the tragedy. The government, he assert- ed, should have enforced the law in Ulster from the outset, or, if it doubt- ed its authority to do so, it should have gone to the people for authority. ‘The prime minister defended the government's impartiality in attempt- ing to prevent the importation of arms, Since the proclamation had been is- sued, he said, the number of arms im- ported into Ireland had been infinites- imal. Harrell's action In summoning the military after arms had been land- od was an entirely new departure. He concluded: € “The difficulties in ‘Ireland are due to the attempts in this house to govern a people they cannot understand by a parliament imperfectly equipped for the task” He warmed the opposition who were hoping to come into power, that the government of Ireland would prove an impossible task until the home rule bill became a law. Arthur J. Balfour and others crit- icised the government for making a scapegoat of the police officials. MORE RIOTS IN DUBLIN.

SATISFYING THE APPETITE. Decision on Suit of Woman Who Was Served Bad Mushrooms. | _Hartford, Conn., July 27—The patron of a hotel, boarding-house, or restaur- ant does not buy the food which is placed before him at the table, accord- ing to a decision just handed down by the Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut, but only the right to sat- isfy his appetite, and no more. When he satisfies his appetite, what is left belongs to the house, and not to the Ppatron. 5 The decision was handed down in the case of Mrs. Electa D. Merrill, of Waterbury, against restaurant kcep- ers in Waterbury. Mrs. Merrill ord- ered from the bill of fare a certain article in which mushrooms were used. She alleged that the mushrooms ere old, er and decayed, and for that and other reasons unknown to her, poisonous. She recovered $6,500 in a superfor court action for damages. Her contention was that the restaurant keepers sold her the food with an im- plied warranty in that it was good, Wholesome, and fit for _consumption. The defendants claimed that they were not liable under an impjied warranty for food furnished Mrs® Merrill, and were liable only for negligence in furnishing bad or deleterious food, and held that at the trial no evidence had been introduced to show such negli- gence. The Supreme Court, in revers- ing this deecision, says the right of Mrs. Merill to recover was made to rest on an implied waranty of quality attending the furnishing of the focd. If there was no such warranty, Mrs. Merrill was not_entitled to recover. The decision further states that the customer pays only “for the right to satisfy his appetite by consumption, by the process of destruction.” TRAIN STRUCK AUTO.

Tampico, July 26—Via Laredo, Texas, July 27.—A decree limiting the scope of the Roman Catholic church in the state of Nuevo Laredo on the ground of public health, morality and justice was issued today by Antonio I Villareal, governor and military commander. He said: “During the life of the nation the church has been a pernicious factor in disruption and discord and has en tirely forgotten its spiritual mission. The most drastic feature of the de- ¢cree is the prohibition of confession. Villareal gives as his reason for this, the charge that the confessional and the sacristy in Mexico have become a menace to morality. Text of the Decres. The decree issued In ‘Monterey makes the following orders for gov- ernment of Catholic schools and churches: “1 All foreign Catholic priests and jesuits of whatever -nationality will be expelled from the state of Nuevo Leon. “2 Of the remaining Catholic priests those who cannot prove their com- plete abstension from politics will be expelled. “3 Churches will yemain open daily from six in the morning until one in the afternoon. ~Only priests having permission to do so will be permitted to_officiate. “4 Confession is prohibited. “5 The public is prohibited from en- tering the sacristy. “6 Church bells shall ring only to celebrate feasts as in honor of the country or for triumphs of the con- stitutionalist arms. All Catholic colleges shall be clossed which do mot obey texts or- dered by the officials and which do not have at their head some professor who is a graduate of the normal schoois of the country who will be re- sponsible to the government for any infraction of the rules. “8 Any infraction of these laws will by punishable by a fine of $100 to-$500 and arrest and imprisonment from two to four menths, or both fine and imprisonment.” Villareal's Explanation. Explaining thé grounds for this ac- tion, Villareai's decree reads: “In the interest of public health, morality and justice, thé state of Nuevo Leon will limit the scope of the Catholic church which during its life has entirely forgotten its spirit- ual mission, its sole right to be rec- ognized to by modern society. The church has consecerated itself prin- cipally to conquest in polieics. To se- cure the object it always has been allled with the reactionary govern- ment and the despots and even with foreign invaders. It has showed it- self an implacable enemy to the lib- eral movement and progress from the first revolution of Ayutla until the present, and has fulminated its ridiculous ex-communications over the most grand and_glorious benefactors of the country, Hidalgo, Juarez and Lerdo De Tejeda. “The pretorial and clerical rulings of Porfirio Diaz and Huerta, against whih the Mexican people have been struggling heroically for many years, have the sympathy and.assistance of the Mexican church, the church has had its benedictions for the ecrimes and corruptions of Huerta and has unsuccessfully worked to incife the public against the constitutionalists cause.” Some of the ceremonials af the church were criticized, Villareal al- leging that in Mexico they have tend- ed toward weakening of moral char- acter. He declareq it the course of wisdom to close the clerical schools for the present, on the ground “it is a supreme national necessity to stamp out the reot of the arrogant- abuses of the Catholic church and remove the grave danger which the institution represents, more political than re- ligious for the tranquility and future Pprogress of the country,” Catholic churches recently have Dbeen closed in Saltillo, San Luis, Poto- si and Nuevo Laredo. $160,000 DAMAGE IN STOCKYARDS FIRE Hundreds of Sheep Burned at Louis- ville—About 50 Loaded Freight Cars Destroyed.

Phelan today that lights in the box signals on the trolley line going through this town could be extinguished momen- tarily by a drag upon the current due to many cars traveling through a block simultaneously. Three tests were made by direction of the coroner as a part of his inquiry into the trol- ley collision here last Wednesday night when four gersons were killed. At the hearing last week, some trolley employes on the cars which had been at the Country club signal box in the Western part of the town claimed that the signal lights there were very dim while motormen and others who were at the Westport signal box claimed that the lights burned brightly. Of- cials of the company claimed that op- eration of a number of cars in the block wouid not dim the light. The testimony was so much at variance that Coronel Phelan ordered a demon- stration, On Third Test, On the third test this afternoon with seven cars climbing the State street grade—up which grade went the frefght car which hit passenger trol- ley 294 on Wednesday night—the lights in both signal boxes dimmed and then for 15 seconds went out completely. The extinguishment was two minutes and 15 seconds after the seven cars left the signal box at Westport centre to climb the hill. On the previous tests the lights had not been affected. The third test showed that cars could be moving while the signal lights were out. Superintendent Chapman of Bridge- port stated to the coromer that the voltage of the current on the line was the same as on Wednesday night. Inspector Elwell Surprised. “ Chiet Inspector Elwell of the public utilities commission and Coroner Phe- lan- both expressed surprise that the lights were extinguished. The motor- men of the cars testified that their cars were moving through the period of the test and during the 15 seconds when the lights in the signal boxes went out. The signals were observed by the two officials at the same time. Superintendent Chapman, J. B. Pot- ter of the Norwalk division and others observed the test. Fred Andrews, president of the Norwalk trolleymen's “mion, said that the tests made were severe ones. Coroner Phelan had planned to hold the tests early, but he had to wait until nearly noon to secure conditions on the line as existed Wednesday night. The regular cars were running as then, and after the 11.30 regular left here the conditions were equal to_those on the night of the collision. It was stated that witnesses have been found and have been subpoenaed Who eaw the signal lights at the time of the wreck, and who claim that they were extinguished for a short time. Examined Witnesses in Hospitals. Later in the day Coroner Phelan went to Bridgeport, where he exam- ined eight wilnesses, including several of the injureq in the hospitals. With one exception, they all testified that the signal lights looked dim just be- fore the accident. The excertion was Mrs, Anna Hen- Kkels, who was positive that the light was burning brightiy. She referred the coroner to Mrs. Henry Mitchell, who was on the same seat with her in the wrecked car, Mrs, Mitchell, however, said the light was very dim Coroner Phelan said he would not resume his inquest for at least two weeks, and possibly later. He wants t6 consult electrical engineers, and get expert opinfon on the workings of the signal system in use here by the trelley company, CANADIAN GOVERNOR GENERAL NARROWLY ESCAPED DROWNING Boats of His Party Were Perforated by Floating Logs, Ottawa, Ont, July 27.—The Duke of Connaught, retiring governor gen- eral of the Dominion of Canada, the Duchess, and Princess Patricia, their daughter, escaped drowning last Sat- urday.
