UNIONIST- POLICY DECLARED ANARCHY John Redmond Censures Meth ods of Minority in Obstruc tionary Tactics. her most trusted, her strongest anl most loyal arm forever."

IRELAND DECLARED LOYAL Bst Fighters Are Held to Be Best Friends and Home Rnle Js Pre dicted to Be Protocol of Peace for England. ' tiv timothy J. O'CONNOR. Dl'BLIX. Dec. 14. (Special.) John Kedmond. M. P.. speaking at Cork, said that within the last few weeks both uttMrt Parliament. Union ist bodies had revealed themselves and their policy to the people of the coun try in such a way as to Insure their speedy condemnation. In Parliament the leaders of the Unionist party proved themselves parliamentary an archists. Their policy was that if they, the minority with a large ma jority of over 100 against them were not allowed to have their own way they would pull down ana oesiroy iu parliament of England. Outside Par liament they had been proving them selves to be reactionaries of the worst type. , , A deliberate attempt, he declared, ,rf hjTi mads for the first time in his tory by the responsible leaders of one of the greaj political parties 01 im country to enable the minority by vio lence and disorder to put argument and reason absolutely on one side, and by violence and disorder to overcome the vast majority of the elected representa tives of the people of Great Britain and Ireland. He wished to say in all Mrinusness that If that attempt suc ceeded, if It was once established that by the sheer disorder and violence of an 'organized body 01 men in x-arua-ment the majority of the elected rep resentatives of the people could be overborne, it would mean an end of Parliamentary government. Doom of Parliament Forecasted. "Such a proceeding," he continued, "is pure anarchism, such a precedent means the end of the British Consti tution. It the doctrine is seriously laid down, 'and If the precedent Is serious ly established that grave disorder, such as that which justified the Speaker un der the standing orders in adjourning the House, can be created by a body of men without any individual among them being held to be guilty of being iisorderly and therefore open to pun ishment, then I. say that at any time In the future, no matter what govern ment is in office, any body of men, 10 to 50 or less English, Irish, Welsh, 3cotch, Liberal, Tory, Labor, or Irish Nationalists will have It in their pow er to break the parliamentary machine and bring the government of this coun try by constitutional means to an end. "Mark the seriousness of the situa tion. Mr. Bonar Law has said that rather than concede home rule to Ire land he would break the parliamentary machine, bat I say that the British peo. pie will not permit their parliamentary machine to be Ijroken, and that what ba broken will not be the free Parliament of the British people, but the men and the party who attempt to break it." . " . ' Veto Bill Fight Continued. The crisis which had arisen at West minster, he proceeded, was. in reality, merely a continuance of the tlprht against the veto bill of last year. The opponents of that bill failed to defeat it. Now the "die-hards" had revived, and they wanted to defeat the veto bill by rendering it inoperative. These men were trying by sheer violence and dis order to force a dissolution on each of the great measures now before the house, and in that way to render the veto bill an absolute nullity. The ex istence of the House of Commons was at stake. This was the issue which had been definitely raised. For his part he re joiced at it. He saw a great deal ot what he might, without want of po liteness, call nonsense In some of the newspapers about what had occurred necessitating a revision and curtail ment of tlie legislative programme of the government. Some delay had been caused, but. after all. what were a few days, or a few weeks, or even a few months in a fight like this? The fatal thing would be to allow disorder and violence on the floor of the House ot Commons to be successful. The one fatal thing would be to allow what had happened to curtail the programme of the government. Banbury Move Criticised. He and his colleagues were repre sented to the Knglish people as pure ly selfish politicians, thinking only of their own measures. There was no sac rifice of time or of labor that they would not willingly and proudly undergo in ' helping to pass the Scotch bill and the Wplsh disestablishment bill and other bills which were before Parliament. He recalled how the crisis had arisen in connection with the finance of the home rule bill, and in referring to the amend ment of Sir Frederick Banbury as hav ing been carried by a snatch vote, said no reasons were given in support of It. It was not arguable, because it was not the proposition of a serious politi cian: it was simply a piece of malicious mischief what he might call the prank of a political Puck. It was constantly being said in Eng land that the Knglish people were be ing asked to finance and subsidise home rule, but that was a ridiculous and an untrue statement. It was a source of humiliation to Irishmen that there should be any deficit to be provided for at the commencement of the home rule bill, and it was their ambition as speed ily as possible, not only to pay their own way, but their fair share of im perial expense. This was not a mere question of pounds, shillings and pence', it was something far greater. It was a question of the reconciliation of the Irish race. Woman Creates Kxeltrment. Some interruption occurred at this point by woman who had before made feeble attempts to speak. There were cries of "Run her out!" and men rushed towards her. Mr. Redmond cried "No. no! Order, order!" and "Iet lier alone." adding. "I am greatly dis appointed to find that a lady is able .to divert your attention so completely irom me." The laughter which this demonstra tion evoked having subsided, he pro ceeded to reply to the charge that Irishmen were not to be trusted. Peo ple might, he remarked. . just hs well blame Oeneral Botha for what lie said whilo the war was in progress as blume Irishmen himself and his col leMSues for language which they had used In the pest. History showed that men who fought lest when the war was on were those whi -made the best and most loyal friends when peace was reached. Peace, he believed, had been declared between the masses of the people of England and Ireland. "This home rule bill." iic added, "is tb great protocol of peace. "When we have both signed it and botii will sign it soon from that ii:iy onward England will find Ireland AT THE THEATERS "THK KISS WALTZ." Mofe by C. M. Zlebret, Ljrlcs by Matthew Woodward.

Morton Jacques - Leon Frewen Mabel Jessie Stoner KelUt Baronew vonBernau Valeska Suratt BY LEONE CASS BAER. VALESKA SURATT set to music tantalizing music and gorgeous Valeska that's what is "The Kiss Walts" at the Heilig. It is a delight ful combination and one that is calcu lated to send into contended enjoyment that oft-quoted being, the tired busi ness man, to say nothing of the T.-B. M.'s wife, who occasionally, usually bi ennially, accompanies him. Ninety-nine per cent of the pleasant ness is Valeska Suratt. The rest is gowns and pretty, girls. It would be rank high treason to say that "The Kiss Waltx" has a plot. It never claimed to have. It's a little bit of comedy, then Valeska In a marvelous gown, then while she hurries away to effect a change into another splendid creation, more comedy is sprinkled about. After awhile the audience learns the ins and outs of the game and, figuring that all the Interpolated comedy bits are Just so much extra and that Valeska is the cause of admis sion, joy and gladness reign supreme. For Valeska is worth waiting for: Each succeeding gown is, more ravish ing than the one before it. To de scribe them would take a Melville El lis. Her clothes must have cost enough coin to pay the Nation's debt and will no doubt serve as motifs for letters to the papers about the sinful extravagance women exhibit in their adornment. But Valeska Suratt becomes her wonderful clothes. Apparently she follows a rule not to wear the same gown twice in one performance and since she flashes into view with some dainty specialty about a dosen times, you don't "huve to.be a mathematician to figure out that her wardrobe has latitude. Even the mere men found the changes bewildering. Valseka does a great lot of jolly "kidding" and in one of her little con tributions, clad in panniers, pantalets and a poke bonnet, she burlesques her co-workers, interpolates asides and does bits of "business," as, for in stance, shadowgraphs and talking with a cold in her head, the audience simply rocks itself with delight. "The Kiss Walts" Is a remarkably clever medium for exploiting Valeska. Without her it would be like a picnic and no luncheon or a boat ride with no water. She is not an adjunct, but an actual necessity. She Is good-looking to the point of startling beauty. She is exquisitely graceful, nimble of toe and sparkles with health and hap piness In her art. Her smile is ad mirable. She is inimitable in her Com edy and is not at all like any of the "correct imitations" of her that vaude ville insists on sending. The chorus girls are a fitting frame for the lovely and picturesque Valeska. The men, too, and it's a big company, are all goo8-looking. The musical comedy, musical play, operetta, vau deville opera or whatever you may choose to call it, is lavishly mounted. The music is beautiful. Partlcularlj haunting and melodious is the "Kiss Walts" Itself. Miss Suratt has a danc ing partner in Theodore Lorraine whose eccentric steps gained admira tion. George Baldwin, the leading man. is handsome, of splendid phy sique and most gratifying as to voice. Hattle Burks is a dainty Ingenue who dances prettily. Harry McDonough as an ex-hack driver, and his wife, played oy Adelalne Power, are made comedy studies of the nouveau riche. ''The Kiss Waltg" will end tomorrow night. There will be a matinee tomorrow afternoon. ARCHBALD CASE CLOSING SEXATE wiUi CLOSE PROSECU TION'S CASE THIS WEEK.

The well-known French composer. Vincent d'Indy. has now realized a desire which has been waiting fruition ever since 1885, when his opera, "The Song of the Bell" was awarded the prize by tne city of Paris. It was given in a splen did manner at the Brussels Opera House recently before a crowded house, and drew musical critics in great num bers from all the leading art centers. The sory Is drawn from Schiller's "Song of the Bell." and affords a line opening for scenic display. The mus ical experts have already set their seal upon the fine musicianly qualities of the work," and the general audience were evidently more than pleased with the setting the end of the 14th cen tury as it allowed of much picturesque architecture and costume. The opera is in eight tableaux, of which one is a prologue and shows Wilhelm, the bell founder, listening to his forges, and thinking over the past. . It is his life story that is told in the succeeding scenes. The musical work opens with four rich notes resembling the tones of deep bells, and although the idea of bell notes Is treated with the greatest re stralnthere is a suggestion of their significance In many parts of the op era, culminating in the last scene, when the last bell to be cast, hanging in the great square, sets to tolling of its own accord for Wilhelm's death. It was In the first actual tableau, that of Wilhelm's own christening, that the audience got an idea of the tremend ous choral effects of this special opera. There were 180 singers and an orches tra in proportion. The effect was very fine, and, indeed, it is in the choral work that "The Song of the Bell" is especially strong. MINER SHOOTS UP TACOMA Saloon Patrons Dance at Point of Re. volver Until Police Arrive. TACOMA, Dec 13. (Special.) Charles Meade, a miner, and his 38- caliber automatic pistol came rippling Into Tacoma today, and along toward the shank of the evening Meade de cided it was about time to conduct a dance. The miner favored a saloon at Pacific avenue and Fourteenth street tor the glide carnival. The 38-eallber automatic led the grand march by barking just once, and then a youth who had been quietly sipping a large beer stepped grace fully in the center of the floor and danced as he had never danced before. He suited Meade fairly well, but didn't seem to be long on wind, so. of course, there were times when Meade just had to stick another bullet into the floor a few inches from the young man's feet. The first number on the programme was a success and Meade reloaded. Sev eral of the persons on the floor had removed their presence from the social affair by slipping unnoticed out of the back door. A lumber-jack, with feet as dainty as an elephant's, was next chosen by Meade. He did not provoke more than two shots. The third and last performer was Newton t'ompton. Then the police came and Meade was registered at the police station, remarking: "I ain't such a tough guy as you fellows think I am." 2 BOWLING RECORDS MADE Individual and Team Averages Are Broken by Powers Team.

Wirth Is Considering Calls to Other Fields. Considerable surprise was occasioned at the regular mid-weekly prayer meeting of the members of the Pilgrim Congregational Church Thursday night in the announcement by the pastor, Rev. C. H. Wlrth, of his resignation. The church has the distinction of having the largest Sunday school and the third oldest Christian Endeavor Society of any in the denomination in this state. About a year ago Mr. Wirth, who was formerly a pastor of tho Methodist Episcopal Church, became ordained a Congregational minister, ac cepting the call to the -Pilgrim pas torate. Rev. Mr. Wirth announced that much as he regretted resigning, he had received calls to other spheres, where he felt he -might be of even more usefulness to the denomination. He had not decided definitely as yet where he would go, when his resigna tion became effective on December 24, he said, but would first take a brief rest. MALARIAL REPORT MADE Indian Officer Tells of Discoveries in Kyaukpyu. CALCUTTA. DecTTt. (Special.) Tho Rangoon correspondent of the English man gives some Interesting particulars from tho report of Major O. P. Ialor, Indian Medical Service, special malarial officer in Burma, who has devoted spe cial attention to Kyaukpyu, one of the worst places for malaria in all Burma. Major Lalor declares that out of 11 species of mosquitoes so far discovered in Kyaukpyu only one, the Nyssorhyn ous Fuliglnosus, was found to be a fever carrier. Unfortunately, however, this species is by far th most abun dant, and outnumbers others during ths rainy season six to one. Moreover, it has been proved to breed all through the year, which others do not. Major Lalor has made a discovery which may be far-reaching in its im portance. There is, it appears, a para sitic fly which -Infests the anopheles of three species, but devotes its special attention to the fuliglnosus. Major La lor has provisionally called this ally of man the Ceratopogon Ferox. COLONIAL OFFICE FILLED Italy Gives Appointment to Member of Peace Conference. ROME. Dec. 14(Special.)

' PARIS, Dec. 14. (Special.) The Matin publishes an article drawing at tention to what it describes as the "scandalous carelessness" of the gun powder factory department of the Mln istry of War. Since the disaster to the Liberte no reform, according to the Matin, has been carried out in the xowder facto ries. which, though they supply the navy with ammunition, are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of war. The navy, however,' besides improving the conditions in which its ammuni tion is stored on board, has succeeded in obtaining powder strengthened by diphenylamine, such as -that provided to the array. Moreover, naval" officers have been empowered to supervise the manufacture of th ammunition, and are absolute judges as to whether it shall be accepted or rejected by the service. The Matin publishes the report of the Admiralty on 517 tons of ammunition manufactured on June 2, 1912, and worth nearly $1,000,000. Parts of the gun cotton contained greyish and yel lowish lumps and others fragments of mouldy sacks and numerous small splinters of wood, while two lots were coarser than they should have been. POET'S CAREER IS VARIED German Who Won Xobel Prize Once Ousted From Art School. LONDON, Dec. 14. (Special.) Ger- hart Hauptmann. the famous German poet and dramatist, to whom the Swed ish Academy has awarded the Nobel prize for literature this year, has had a varied career since he first saw the light in 1862 in the small Silesian wa tering place, Oborsalzbrunn, wnere nis father kept the principal hotel. He was sent to Breslau to study sculpture, but fell into disfavor at the art school and had to leave. Next, he took up biology, and went to Jena to attend the lectures of Haeckel. Then he thought he would study mankind, and set out from Ham burg to make a tour of the Mediterran ean on a cargo-boat. Later his artistic instincts re-assert ed themselves, and, betaking himself to Rome, he established a studio there, meaning to revert to sculpture, but had a dangerous illness and returned home to recruit. Then, finally, he found his real metier in literature and the drama, and in 1892 made a great stir with "Die Weber," In which he portrays with such ruthless realism the sufferings of the Silesian peasant weavers during the hungry "forties." Since tnen lie nas produced many other famous dramas. ELECTRIFICATION IS AIM Banks to Provide Light, Power for St. Petersburg Industries. ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 14. (Spe cial.)

Inside information is always the best. especially when it concerns prisons. The man outside tne Dars tneorizes, speculates, generalizes. He is either critical or maudlin. He doesn't hit the happy medium or have the right view point, because his feet are not placed right. If they were within the cell he would see straignter ana ininn straighter. That is wh heed should be given to the words of William Knobloch, of New York, who has just been released from the Auburn penitentiary after serving a term Tor a technical violation of tho law. Mr. iinooiocn s caBi oi mind makes for serious analytical ex amination and cautious statement. He is a trained observer, a skilled me chanic, an inventor. While he was in prison, the nature of the offense and his own character gave him special privileges. He was allowed to work unon an airship ana complete iu inn device, he says, cannot fall to the ground, even if the engine stops. Mr. Knobloch studied tne conamons around him. and now that he is out nil the nadlock taken from his tongue, he gives his views. They are wen worth thinking over in these days when the desire to be right often leads men into hysteria. The food in orison Is far too good, he says. "The men waste food ana destroy property in the shops. The treatment of the men is altogether too good. The books allowed them are on the dime novel order. They should be limited to technical works that uplirt. out or tne eigm men who go out I noticed that six will come back. Crime is crime and not a disease. The men do not want to work and the public has to pay for it," Once prisoners were treated prutaiw. Thev came out seared and revengeful. They hankered to get even. Now the pendulum has swung tne otner way. According to Mr. unooiocn it nas gone too far. We are making It too easy for the criminals, forgetting that punishment must correct and chasten. If we coddle criminals we cut out the ting of their deeds. We take away the most wholesome sequel oi erinio which was and always should be the remorse which leads to reform.
