First County Vote Must
Be Final One.
(United Prsa Leaaed Wire.)
Ivondon, March 16. Irish home rule
was up In the house of commons again
todav. Both floor and galleries wer
packed.
Premier Asquith spoke. The admin
istration, he said, had offered all In
the way of concessions that it meant
to offer. His words were mild, but
they confirmed what First Lord of
the Admiralty Winston Churchill said
In a speech last week that the anti
home rulers would have to take the
compromise he proposed or get
nothing.
If the plan for county local option
on home rule, with elections every
six years, were satisfactory, the
premier explained that the bill would
be amended accordingly with refer
ence to finance and administration if
it were rejected it would simply be
a waste of time to consider these
rnatters.
Finally he put the" question directly
to the, opposition would it or would
It not accept his offer?
No reply was made to Asquith's
question.
What looked like a deadlock of the
Irish home rule bill resulted. When
Premier Asquith offered to com
promise with the anti-home rulers bv
allowing each Irish county to decide
for itself whether to accept home rule,
voting on tne proposition at six year
intervals, he said he would . proceed
no further with the measure until the
anus" answered.
uae "antis" intimated that their
answer would be favorable If he would
let the first vote stand permanently,

SURPRISING MANNER
Austin E, Griffiths, Recent
Candidate for Mayor, Is
Appointed Police Chief,
Seattle, Wash., March 16. Without
any formality, Hiram C. Gill, recalled

He appointe i Austin K. Griffiths, a
lawyer, former councilman, and recent
ly a candidate for mayor in the prima
ries against Gill, as chief of police.
Griffiths had received the endorse
ment of the Ministerial Federation In
his mayoralty candidacy. When first
offered the position of chief, he de
clined, but so great was the public de
mand that he accepted.

most . unexpected, as the two men had
la the past been almost Invariably op
poslte on c.vic issues.
Griffiths is well known here as one
of the leaders in social service work.
The announcement ; was made by
Mayor Gill that he will not reappoint
Dr. James E. Crichton as health com
missioner. Crichton has held that po
sition for the past six years. His term
expired In 1912. Mayor Cotterill re
fused to reappoint him, but. also failed
to name his successor. Crichton thus
held the office until his successor
could be chosen.
