Bourne will land the chairmanship of the postofflce committee. Inasmuch as Crane refuses to accept It, bat Bourne will not go on the committee on finance or on appropriations, the two principal committees of tbe Senate, on which he has been demanding a place. It Is likely that Bourne will go on public buildings, on public lands and on woman suffrage, though tbla Is yet to be determined nnally.

MORMON PICTURE TOPIC SMOOT TALKS TO MEYER ABOCT BATTLESHIP ITTAH'S SILVER. Brlgham Young's Likeness on War ship's Service, Which Aroused Storm, Held Merely Incidental. WASHINGTON. April II. Senator Smoot of Utah today had a conference with Secretary Meyer, of the Navy De partment, regarding the design of the silver service to be presented to the bat tleship Utah by the people of Utah. His call was the result of criticisms made by the Daughters of the American Revolution that the silver plate was to carry a likeness of Rrigham Young. The Senator told Mr. Meyer that the only representation of Mr. Young con tained in the design was that of his figure ss It appears on the pioneer mon ument in Salt Lake City. He said this monument had been chosen by a com mittee composed of three Mormons and three non-Mormons, the chairman being D. C. Jackling. who Is not affiliated with the Mormon church. He said Mr.' Jackling had been largely instrumental in selecting the design and the inclusion of the statue of Br., ham Young was only incidental and due en tirely to the fact that It was part of the monument. A committee representing the Daugh ters of the American Revolution, tccom panted by a delegation of Washington ministers and by Mrs. H. S. Owen, of Salt Lake City, made verbal protests to Secretary Meyer today against tbe ac ceptance of the T-tah service bearing Young's likeness. Mr. Meyer said the gift was not yet tthin his Jurisdiction but that when It has been received he would decide tbe matter. Premier Says Home Kale Was Issne at Election and People Favor It. Balfour Says It Was Hid den in Background. LONDON. April 14. The anti-home rule amendment to the veto bill, pro posing to exclude from the operation bf the measure "any bill to establish a separate Parliament and Executive for Ireland." was moved by John B. Lonsdale. Unionist member for Mid Armagh. In the House of Commons to day and was rejected. Whips had been sent out by all parties and In conse quence the House was crowded. In Introducing the amendment to the bill Intended to restrict the powers of the House of Lords over legisla tion originating In the first chamber. Lonsdale said he desired to see the Question of home rule removed alto gether from the region of the contro versy over the reform of the House of Lords. Tbe government was at the mercy of the Nationalists, whose ob ject was to smash the constitution, he said, in order to dismember tne em pire by driving Ireland to national in- dependence. Asqulth Pledges Home Rule. James Ramsey McDonald. Socialist and labor member for Leicester, imme diately took tbe field in support of the Nationalists and contended that the laborltes were whole-heartedly in fa vor of the revolution demanded for Ireland and believed that the projected "treaty of peace" with the United States had been made possible by the promise of home rule for Ireland. Premier Asqulth In a few pointed sen tences gave the House to understand clearly that the Cabinet was unswerv ingly of the opinion that the electors had returned them to power with the full knowledge that they would give Ireland a measure of home rule. The opposition campaign olf "dollar dictation fur ther emphasized the fact, the Premier id. that home rule for Ireland was an issue in the election. Home Rule Forced, Says Balfour. A. J. Balfour, leader of the opposition. spoke In favor of the amendment. The government, he said, had hidden home rule in the background during the elec tion and now. having surreptitiously at tained power, they were going to force home rule down the throats of the peo ple, who, he believed. If the Issue were placed directly before them, would re ject It, as they did in 1SS5 and 1S33. EventuuIIy Mr. Lonsdale a amendment was defeated. 284 to 190. John George Butcher. Unionist, moved an amendment exempting from the op eration of clause two any bill affecting the continued existence of the crown s prerogatives. In opposing this amend ment. Sir Robert B. Finlay, the Attor ney-General, said the security of the crown rested on the loyalty of the peo ple, and It would be an evil day for the crown when It depended for existence upon the Lords' veto. The Butcher amendment was defeated 173 to 169. " , :f V.
