after being elected Mr. Jackson had a
conference with Manager Ferris, of
the Treadwell team, and it was agreed
that each would refrain from making
attempts to get players away from
each other. Mr. Jackson was instruct-j
ed by the Juneau board of managers |
to secure good players at once and j
three or four will be brought from be
low. In the meantime Mr. Jackson is
anxious to give any of the local talent
a tryout. and will therefore listen to
anyone who plays the game and wants
to engage In the sport for Juneau.

agers. consisting of J. C. McBride,
manager: J. R. Willis. Milton Winn,
Tom Radonlch. A. H. Humphries. P.

meeting early last evening and talked

free hand in the matter of securing
players.

IRISH HOME RULE
NOW IN SIGHT
LONDON, April 10?The Home Ilule
bill appears to have a better prospect
ot being carried than ever before. The
Tories are scared by the indignation
aroused by their support of the dis
affected army officers and they are
now anxious for any settlement. The
possibility of an election cry of "the
Parliament versus the army" has
alarmed all sections of the Unionist
party, which may account for the sym-j
pathy with which Sir Edward Grey's j
suggestion of a Federal system of
government was received. This may
lead to a renewal of the negotiations
between the leaders of the rival par
ttua.
It 1h now planned that Ulster will
accept the proposition of permitting
the anti-home rule counties to remain
out of the Dublin government for six
years, and in the meantime both par
ties will consult upon accepting the
suggestion of Sir Edward Grey, who
is leader for the Government In the
Commons, pending the re-electloji of
Prime Minister Herbert if. Asqulth by
Ills constituency, that Great Britain
provide a Federal system of govern
ment with a written constitution.
Asquith's acceptance of the Issue
of the army against the Parliament,
his taking over the war portfolio, res
ignation from Parliament and asking
for a re-election on the issue that the
situation created, together with Sir
Edward Grey's declaration that the
action of the army threatened the por
petuation of the kingdom and that
if there was an election It would
come on a more grave question than
homo rule have completely reversed
the political situation.
Commenting upon the changed con
ditions, the Times, Unionist, says, "this
amazing government Is profiting by
its own mistake." The Times predicts
the' passage of the home rule bill and
its acceptance on Asquith's terms.

LODGE URGES SENATE
TO SUPPORT WILSON
j ?? ?
WASHINGTON, April 10.?Senator
Henry Cabot Ixxlgc, of Massachusetts,
continued IiIh speech in support of the
Panama free tolls repeal bill today. He
said that it is the duty of every Senator
and citizen to support the foreign pol
icy of the administration.
"To thwart the purpose or dis
credit the policies of the head of a
political party is legitimate warfare,"
he said, "but to discredit or break
down the President of the United
States upon a question of foreign poli
cy is quite another thing, and not to
bo undertaken except for the very
gravest reason."
Senator Lodge contended that if the
Senate fails to support the President)
in this case, as he was supported by
the House, it "will paralyze his future
power and usefulness where he alone
can represent the policy, honor and
dignity of the United States."
