2 THE SUXDAT OBEGOXIAX, PORTLAJTD, MAT 17, 1914 END OF HOI RULE FIGHT IS HOPED FOR Settlement Expected by Aver age Parliament Member; ,t Methods Cause Strife. Vationalfcts Refns to Mali Store Concessions, to TJI&terites Irftt Members Say They Have Gone as Far as Possible. - " DUBLIN, May 9. (Special.) Nation alist members of Parliament, wlro have returned to London after the recess, reiterate the impossibility of making any further concessions to the Ulster Itea, and declare that their constitu ents could only be induced to agree to optiontal exclusion for Ulster on the understanding: that the arrangement is to terminate in six years' time. From all accounts the Nationalist members are having a good deal of trouble with public opinion in Ireland at present- Those who are back record their astonishment at the passionate depth of the home rule feeling, which recent concessions have called forth. In many districts the Irish volunteer .movement is attracting numerous re cruits, in spite of the fact that the Na tionalist party has never lent support to it. The drilling and the route-marching of the Irish volunteers have received a fresh impetus lately, as if in answer to the challenge that the desire for home rule is less active, and preparations are going on behind the scenes to offer a passive resistance to the present form of government in Ireland, should any disaster overtake the home rule bill. The idea is to follow the precedents set by the Ulster Coventers. and those who are organizing the volunteer move ment declare that a force of 250,000 men, many of them ex-soldlers, could easily be raised. At all events the Gaelic League and other powerful or ganizations, which are at present leav ing affairs to Mr. Redmond, will give their support to the Irish volunteers and the new national movement which would spring up In the event" of home rule being defeated' or postponed. Opposition to Settlement Plans. The average M. P. clings to the belief that a settlement will be reached. The opposition seems divided into two camps. Those who are anxious to reach a settlement advocate a federal solu tion as' a way out, and re prepared to .ioln with Liberal Federalists in urging the government to appoint a commis sion to devise a federal scheme for the United Kingdom, which would finally pave the way for a united Ireland. The strength of this partw must not be overrated, and they may be driven to cover again, if their leaders decide to adopt an aggressive attltute and refuse a settlement. The general belief is that the neo Torles. as they may be called, have at any rate sufficient influence to per suade the House of Lords to give the home rule bill a second reading, and insert certain amendments in the bill. The idea is that the Lords will apply the government's plan of optional ex clusion to six counties in Ulster, the voting to be en bloc, not by counties, for the Northeastern corner. The time limit will then be struck out, and the contracting-out counties will be given the option of remaining out until the Imperial Parliament decides otherwise. The home rule bill with these amend ments will be sent down to the Com mons again, and the aim of the Peers will be to make the country believe, if a settlement on these terms is refused, that, the government is responsible. Unionists who are anxious to settle lay great stress on a certain passage in Mr. Birrell's speech on the Monday be fore Caster, in which he seems to de clare that there could be no question of driving Ulster into a constitution which she disliked. They maintain that if this passage represents the view of the cabinet, only a hair's-breadth di vides the two parties, and that the government must at any rate give "Ul ster" the right of an appeal to the Im perial Parliament against inclusion at the end of the time limit. The right of an appeal is, they de clare, inherent in Mr. Birrell's words, and as it does not amount to an in dorsement of the principle of perma nent exclusion, it could, it is suggested, be accepted by the Liberal party and the Nationalists. On this point, how ever. Nationalist opinion admits of no subtle distinctions. HI Klit of Appeal Is Stumbling' 13 lock. The Irish members declare that they have gone as far as they can or dare go, and that the right of an appeal in six years' time would give a minority in Ireland the right to veto national unity, indefinitely and perhaps per manently, and would keep open all the present religious and racial differ ences. They are as much opposed to the right of appeal as to Sir Edward Carson's plan that "Ulster" should not be Included until the Imperial Parlia ment decrees. The Die-Hards In the Tory camp, who now look to Mr. Balfour to wreck home rule altogether, of course lay stress on the apparent deadlock to which every suggestion for appeasing Ulster and satisfying the Nationalists t the same time leads. Nothing pleases them better than to see all parties at loggerheads, and they count on the government being unable to pass home rule, or at least to make it operative, in face of the resistance of Ulster. They openly proclaim that the army will never consent to "be used" by a Liberal government for the coercion of Ulster. "Will you lend the British army to John Redmond to coerce Ulster?" is the crystal of the British covenant and on this electioneering cry the Die J lards believe they can win. Their ob ject, then, is'to get a dissolution of parliament as soon as possible, and hence all the talk in their press about an election in June. The government is to be forced to pass the bill as it stands, and then the Ulster volunteers are to be mobilized, and the Die-Hards believe the government will then be nven to appeal to the country. For, as r. iniiuur said tne otner day, they ueneve mat a r.merai government will fail before a difficult executive ques tion ui ims Kinu. Tories Wrk Against Compromise. This is the calculation of the Tile Hards, and Mr. Balfour and Walter Long are said to be mustering the old guard for an attack on the government on these lines. At the same time large sums are to be spent in the constit uencies, in bringing "the Ulster ques tion nome to me worsingman. everything points to a frantic at tempt on the part of this section of the Tory party to precipitate a crisis and refuse all overtures for a settlement. The young Tories, who want to settle and push on to other questions, have, unfortunately, no leader of weight who la prepared to break a lance with the IMe-Hards, and many of thsm are nerv ous at seeming to take independent ac tion. This, then, is the situation. In spits of a general desire for a settlement, a comparatively small but powerful group on the Tory fide are working against any compromise. Will they succeed? The answer to a large extent depends on Sir Edward Carson. He spoke the other day of his detestation of using Ulster as a pawn in the party. game. Is he still willing to lend it to the Die. Hards for their last desperate assault on the Parliament act, an assault whicn will again combine the democratic forces on a still more important issue than that of the budget of 1909? These are some of the questions which mem bers who note present phases at West minster are asking, and they look for ward with some impatience to the de nouement a few weeks hence. Volunteers Have Big Parade In Dublin. There was a big parade of Irish vol unteers in Dublin a few nights ago. For some time past drilling on a large scale has been carried on in drill halls in the city and the suburbs. The total strength of the force in the city can not be estimated with accuracy, as the organizers have not published any sta tistics, but it must be considerable. On the night referred to there was a muster of nearly all the city compa nies. They assembled at their own drill halls, and marched after a time to Rutland square, where several other companies had assembled. Here the whole body was put through drill, after which all the companies marched through BackvlUe street to College green. The appearance of such a large body of men in the streets caused some sur prise. The volunteers, who for the most part were well dressed, marched in silence, and gave evidence of havtnt? Lbeen well drilled. On arriving at the nans or xreiand tne parade was dis missed, after which the different com panies returned to their own drill balls. A telegram from Athlone states that the police in the town have been di rected to practice one hour's military drill in the future. Inquiries at Dublin Castle go to show that nothing of the matter is known at the constabulary headquarters there. In any case, it Is difficult to say what is meant by "mil itary drill," as the constabulary for a long time have been practing in almost every form of drill known to the army. WOMEN AID SPARROW APPEAL MADE TO RESCIND BOUNTY OFFER OS STATE. Value of Bird In Destroying Noxious Inseets Cited In Fight Now on In Mlcbinrsn. MARQUETTE, Mich., May 14. The Women's Welfare Club, of this city, has adopted a memorial, addressed to the Legislature, asking the repeal of the law which provides for the payment of a bounty of 2 cents a head on English sparrows during tne months of Decem ber, January and February. Women's clubs, suffrage associations, D. A. R. chapters and various other organiza tions will be requested to co-operate in the movement. The memorial recites the belief of the club that "the damage done by the English sparrow, either by his al leged untidy habits or by his belliger ence toward other birds, has been greatly exaggerated, and his good qual ities as an insect destroyer and weed eater have been underrated." The action of the Women's Welfare Club followed closely on a visit to the city of J. H. McGlllivray. Deputy State Forestry Warden. Mr. McGillivray con sulted with a committee of the club and addressed a large assemblage at the Northern State "Normal School. It Is his opinion that the law allowing bounty for English sparrows is a detri ment to useful bird life and to the country. It is one of the greatest in sect and weed destroyers of all bird life. In the State of Michigan there are at least 24 kinds of sparrows other than the English sparrow. The aver age boy is unable to distinguish be tween the different species and as a re sult all suffer alike. At certain times of the year, Mr. McGillivray says, the canary greatly resembles the English sparrow, its yellow wings and back turning almost brown. Many of these birds are slaughtered by mistake in the war against the sparrow. NERD'S HOUSE PICTURED PALACB OB" GOLD DESCRIBED BY FRENCH LECTURER. " Statues, Plates of Precious Metals, Beautiful Inner Lake Were Some of Its Features. ROME, May 16. An interesting de scription of the wonderful "House of Gold," which Nero built between the Palatine and Esquillne hills in Rome, nas Deen given by M. Prechat in a lec ture. This mighty palace, covered with plates of gold enriched with ivorv and adorned with a multitude of beautiful tatues, covered an area equivalent to the Champa Elysees and the Place de la Concorde, said the lecturer. The Emperor conceived the idea after read ing Ovid's description of the palace of tne sun m tne Metamorphosis." And it was in the puIbs of the sun. srod tha t Nero had a stautue of himself made nearly 90 feet high This colossus stood In a great four-horse chariot and was erected in front of the House of Gold." Within the palace walls was a lake, which ancient authors compare to a sea, and on its waters were given the sumptuous nautical festivities of which one reads. Like a fairy palace the "House of Gold" was and as such it vanished. The huge exactions which Nero made on the people in order to erect it did not conduce to its popu larity, and it survived its master but by little. Today nothing of it is left but some sub-basebents. discovered un derneath the Coliseum. WAX TREATMENT IS USED Paris Pliyslciuu Advocates Liquid Paraffin for Gout. PARIS, May 14. Treatment by wax for gout, rheumatism, sciatica, lum bago, ulcers and burns was advocated by Dr. Barthe before the Academy of Medicine. He said paraffin wax, when heated to ISO degrees and applied, win keep the temperature more than 100 for hours. This Is a great improvement on old- fashioned poultices and hot compresses. Dr. Barthe, to prove the absence of danger, plunged into a bath of liquid paraffin at a temperature of 120 and allowed it to solidify. It was found that it produced no congestion and caused abundant perspiration without redness or softening of the tissues. It also reduced the arterial pressure. Dr. Barthe uses a paraffined mixture at a temperature of 175 for burns, ulcers and wounds. This protects the wounds, as it solidifies and allows them to heal without leaving a scar. Dr. Barthe says Dr. Alexia Carrel, of the Rockefeller Research Institute of New York, Is acquainted with the method. CARSON IS NOT FIRST Real Power in Ulster Row Is Marquis of Londonderry. HE ALONE CAN SAY "WAR" Practically Unknown Man in Street Pulls Strings of Puppets in North of Ireland Drama. Great Wealth Behind Him. LONDON. May 9. While the name, the personality and the comings and goings of Sir Edward Carson are on everybody's tongue in connection with present grave conditions in UlBter, lit tle or nothing is heard and almost as little is known to the man in the street of an incomparably more im portant and influential man whose mere "yes" or- "no" in the present crisis may spell civil war. Possessed of enormous wealth, the head of one of the most powerful families in Great Britain, the holder of a title that ac once marks him out as probably the most important man in Ireland, a close friend of the King and the trusted adviser and intimate of many of the greatest nobles of England, the Marquis of Londonderry is the power that pulls the strings of the puppets in the north of Ireland. When it comes to a "show down" in this amazing drama of Ulster it is with this man, and not with Sir Edward- Carsonv that the government will have to reckon. Marquis Is Modest of Power. . But for all that, the Marquis of Londonderry would be the last to ad mit his power. For he is one of those silent men who hardly realize their tremendous influence. For years he and his wife and his family have patronized Sir Edward Carson. It was largely through the Marquis' influence that Carson rose to fame in the old days as Irish Solicitor-General. Sir Edward is a man of brains and, more important still, of character, but no one will deny that for a struggling barrister the influence of the London derrys is of inestimable benefit. Lord Londonderry's whole record of public office, and he has held some of the highest in the land, is that of work done masterfully, sometimes in the teeth of criticism under which a more resolute man would have withered, and always without either fuss or show. Besides being an able adminis trator, his management of his vast estate of over 50,000 acres proves him a first-class business man, and he looks what he is, "solid" in every way. " Life Not An Idle One. Handsome and rich, the owner of four stately homes, with a keen love of horse flesh and of life out of doors, he might well have devoted himself, like so manyv of his class, to idleness, yet we find him, at 26, "standing" for Parliament in County Down, one of the southeastern counties of Ulster, where his Irish seat. Mount Stewart, is lo cated; at 34 Governor-General of Ire land, and, in later years, president of the London, School Board, Postmaster General, and President of the Board of Education, which position he held when the great Liberal landslide of 1906 swept his party from office. It always had been supposed that his long record of office would ' be rewarded with a dukedom, and no doubt this would have happened had the Unionist party remained in office, while, in view of what has happened since, it is one of the things that is certain to come to pass should the Conservatives re turn to power. The principal source of Lord Lon derry's vast wealth are the coal fields of Durham, in which county his favor ite "seat." Wynyard Park, is situated, and where he has some most valuable properties. Big - Revenues From Coal. His revenues from coal are on a huge scale because they stream in from so many directions. He is the owner of the land under which the minerals are raised, and royalty rents come to his pockets. He owns the mines and makes a profit, when he can, on the coal-getting. The coal is either put on his own steamers or goes over the North Eastern Railway, in which he is a large shareholder. At Seaham Harbor, coal is shipped from staithes. which the Marquis has built at his own cost, and Is brought to London to be unshipped at his own wharfs and de livered to his customers in his own carts. For, like a true business man, and a "big" man generally. Lord Lon donderry is not afraid of the ' stigma which still attaches, in this country, to engaging in retail trade, and to leave no doubt about this his coalcarts bear their noble owner's name on their sides. NEW 'LINER UNDER WAY WHITE STAR TO ORDER SHIP BIQGER THAN OLYMPIC. Cunarder Neara Completion and One Hamburg-American Boat Will Soon Be Launched. LONDON, May 14. There is reason to believe that the White Star Line will shortly order from Messrs. Har land and Wolff a slightly larger vessel than the recently launched Britannic, of 50,000 tons, so as to maintain its Southampton-New York service with three big boats, the other one being the Olympic, of 46.359 tons. The fitting out of its latest leviathan Is making good progress, and it is hoped to have the main engines fixed in position dur ing the next few days. If all goes well, the Britannic will be put into commission before the end o.the year. Meanwhile, the Cunarder Aquitanla, also of about 50,000 tons, is nearing completion at Cldyebank. She had trials early this month, and is due to sail from the Mersey for New York on May 30. Most of her best cabins have already been booked for the first trip. The new Hamburg-American liner Vaterland, of 58,000 tons, left Cux haven on her maiden voyage to the United States yesterday. A steamer of even greater size, the estimated gross tonnage being about 65,000, is in course of construction for the same company at Hamburg. She will be launched in June. In addition, both the Nord- deutscher Lloyd and the Compagnie Generaio Transtalantliue will soon have two liners of 37.000 tons eaca in service. The following table shows the di mensions of the world's five largest liners, those of the Aquitanla and the Britannic being, however, approximate, as they have not yet been officially measured: Bfum.

ETHEL HAYS MODERN NAME "Woman," the Masterpiece, of Wliich Hamilton Wolf Has Dreamed, Now Is Being Pitt on Canvas for Paris Salon Exhibit. BILLINGS, Mont.. May 9. Hail the American Venus, product of the North west! Will-o'-the-wisp of the world of art. long sought but never found, she' has been "discovered" by Hamilton Wolf, noted Los Angeles artist, in Miss Ethel Hays, daughter of a Billings banker and herself an artist. Here is his critical Judgment: "Every line, from the graceful wave of her hair to the curve of her ankle, Is perfect! The broad shoulder, the broad, undulating waist, the long lines of arm and leg, all mark her as the prototype of the. wpfnan who posed for tho Von 11 A Mllt And straightway, having made the discovery, he began on his painting, "Woman," which is to be exhibited at the Paris Salon and judged by the greatest critics of the world. Miss Hays was graduated from the Billings High School three years ago. She is now 21 years old, determined to make a name for herself in the world of brush and crayon. While in school she was the mainstay of the echool pub lication s art department, and after graduating followed the advice of friends who eaw the possibilities in her work and decided on a career of art. As the scene of her work she selected Los Angeles. Wolf Realise Ills Dream. That is how she became acquainted with Hamilton Wolf, 'how she became his pupil, and later his model. Like other artists. Wolf long had cherished an ambition to find and paint the perfect woman. It was to be his masterpiece, and for this canvas, the supreme effort -f his life, only one whose lines were perfect according to the Greek standards could be consid ered. She must possess the requisites which made the women of ancient Greece the most beautiful of all time. Where was. she to be found? He searched everywhere but in vain. He began to lose faith in American ap preciation of beauty, and after months of futile hunting he stormed and swore by the gods of an art dragged from its pedestal by a money-hungry nation that there was no such thing in Amer ica as a perfect woman. Then, one day, she came, the long sought subject for the one great effort which was to portray on canvas, in stead of in plaster or bronze, what Michael Angelo portrayed in plaster. His nerves relaxed, his soul found peace. He settled down to the long grind, and in a few weeks or months, according to his temperament and physical power permit she "Woman" will be on her way to Paris. "I hope to paint a picture which, before it is sent to the salon, will make our naturally beauty loving people realize how far from the great ideals of the masters they have strayed," says the sanguine artist. "I have drawn Miss Hays from every angle in merci less black and white and she stands the test." But Miss Hays herself takes her beauty less seriously than Wolf, and seems to regard the fact that she is hailed as the one perfect woman of less consequence than her work and progress in her chosen field. She also objects, and seriously, to being claimed as a Loa Angeles girl, and when re porters interview her she ia very care ful to impress upon them the fact that Montana is her home state and Ballings her home city. Model Aid an ArtUt. So far as her work goes. Wolf him self admits that she possesses the requisites of. the great artist. Quickly eclipsing her fellow workers in the studio of the eccentric illustrator and painter, aha graduated in a few short weeks from object drawing and was soon immersed in the Intricate and ex ceedingly technical study of the planes, angles and curves of the human body. Always versatile, she improved her art and bunt up an already perfect phy. sique with long walking excursions into the country, on which she gathered material for landscape sketches seldom attempted successfully by the beginner. "I feel art is the greatest of all things," she wrote in a recent letter to a friend. "I believe an artist is at once tho happiest and unhappiest per son in the world. The happiness comes from the knowledge and Indulgence of a creative power, and the unhappiness from knowing that absolute perfection is never attained. "Miss Hays might almost be called a genius," declares Wolf. , "She has everything at her command love of beauty,, humor and the quality of tak- A.

"Woman" Will Tell Remit. "Woman," with which Wolf hopes to capture Le Grand Prix at the Paris salon, will represent the utmost in femininity, according to its creator. Although idealistic in every line, it will but portray the perfection of Miss Hays. "Miss Hays' body is almost incon ceivably perfect in construction," says Wolf.

Doiea Parachute Devices Included in .List of S6 Entries Automatic Stabll-. Ixers and Balloon Frtlt to Try. LONDON, May 10. (Special.) The $80,000 prize, and additional prizes mak ing a total of $116,500. offered in France for the best solution of the problem of security in flight have at tracted 56 entries. The competition is to end on -June SO. but already it is known that the committee will disagree as to what constitutes security. Among the entries are.a dozen or so parachute devices. It is surprising that so large a number have been entered, in view of the fact that the parachute can be of no use except in mishaps at a height of 300 feet or more. The. great majority of serious accidents have oc curred quite near the ground. The parachute,, of course, is only In tended for use in case of fire or the breaking of the machine. Both con tingencies can, however, be entirely prevented by safeguards and sound con struction. As to collisions in the air, they are not likely to be many. In any case parachutes would be of no use; the shock, ah'd. the general disin tegration of apparatus, would put the parachute out of the question. Nev ertheless, there are pro-parachutists on the committee. , An even greater number of automatic stabilizers are in the list. The objec tions against all stabilizers are that they are a complication; that they are of no value in rough air, close to the ground, for they cannot always oper ate in time to prevent a bad smash in landing; and that, if the mechanism gives out, the pilot is in a bad way, because he has not the kill of the pilot who flies without such aids. Stabilizers, therefore, are of value only for easing the labor of piloting, they fail to solve the problem of se curity. Many "naturally stable" machines are entered. These differ from . the others, in that the form and arrangement of the planes kept the machine on a level keel without the aid of any mechanical operation. They are open to the same objections, however, save that they are not subject to failure through getting out tf gear. So far as authorities are in favor of the stabilized machine, the weight of opinion ia on the side of natural sta bility and against mechanical. The only British design in the com petition is the Dunne naturally stable biplane entered by the French licensees. Interesting entries are the Schmidt biplane having wings of which the angle can be varied during flight, a machine responsible for a series of height records with ' heavy loads, and whose "safety" lies in being flyable at very low speed for landing. There also are a gyropher. not an aeroplane at all, but a machine with rotating wings, and a balloon aeroplane" com bination. Men's collars manufactured In England every year number about 20.0O0.noo.

Like the story of Cinderella runs the romance of Mrs. Francis Skinner, of Dedham, who, through the death of her husband, a nephew of Mrs. Jack Gardner, on board the liner Caronia, becomes the posses sor of a fortune estimated at $10, 000.000. From a shopgirl in a Boston oepart ment store, Mrs. Skinner becomes a wealthy woman. Mrs. Skinner was Sarah E. Carr, daughter of a Boston tailor. She was the belle among the shopgirls, and so ciety still recalls the sensation that came with her wedding to young Skin ner, son of one of the most exclusive families in the state. The couple first met at Marblehead in the Summer of 1899. In June of the next year they were married at the Church of the Good Shepherd. They spent their honeymoon on the yacht Constellation, formerly owned by the late Bayard Thayer. Then they went to live at the Skinner mansion in Dedham. inherited by Mr. Skinner from his mother. There was opposition on the part of Mr. Skinner's father and his other rel atives. The opposition lasted several years. It ended in a' deathbed recon ciliation between the father, son. and his bride.

Those who have followed the National forest movement in this country will recall that most of the forests have been created through Presidential proclamation, which set aside, for tim ber growing or for water protection, certain areas of the public domain. In March, 1907, however. Congress passed a law that no further additions should be made to the National forest areas in the states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon. Washington and Wyoming, ex cept through Congressional action. Since July, 1909, residents of the city of Montpeller, Idaho, have been peti tioning to have this 17.000 acres added to the Caribou National Forest, because the area inckides the watershed of tho stream which furnishes tho city's water supply. Not being within a National forest, the tract was given over to un regulated grazing and other usages which resulted in stream pollution and became a serious menace to health. The citizens of Montpeller. at several times subsequent to their first efforts in 1909, renewed their petition, and the act Just passed represents the successful out come of their efforts.
