FOiraTH IXTTXH]
DUBLLN". June SO. — Before attempt
ing to show the great advance
ment made In solving the Irish
problem during the last seven years,
it is necessary to describe brJefly
what the problem is and review
the efforts made to settle it. Bound
*jp as it is lndissolut>iy with the for
tunes — and misfortunes— of the Irish
r-eople, it has been kept insistently be
fore the British government for many :
years, and the mass of lpgislation upon I
it demonstrates not only the vigorous;
activity of the Irish leaders, but a re
iifzation on the part of England that
a preat evil cries for remedy. That the
puccersive statutes and their clustering
Kmencments still have not removed all
of the hoary injustices is In Itself evi
dence that nothing short of self-gov
ernment will meet Ireland's manifold
*\u25a0 to** former letters I have reviewed
very briefly the bases of this unique
land problem, showing how the seeds
of Isterrninable wrong 1 were sown when
the land was grabbed in successive in
vasions, and how the crop was matured
under the grotesque laws which made
the landlords virtual owners of the
tenants as well, as of the lands" they
liUei. This was through the custom
which empowered the landlord to raise
rents as fast as the. tenant improved
his farm. "With the threat of eviction
always before him. the hapless tenant
had to pay. When he could no longer
meet the demands he was thrown out.
and all his labor of years legally con
fiscated by the absentee owner.
The Famine of 1847
- This general rule,- responsible for un
told misery, was brought into infinitely j
wider operation through the terrific
famine of 1547. That catastrophe
spread a blight of poverty over the
nation, and in addition drove countless
'landlords into bankruptcy. Thereupon,
jn an effort to do something to lift the
' burden of misery, parliament estab
lished a court empowered to sell hope
lessly incumbered estates. The hope
. \u25a0was that with a fresh start all around
• the problem might solve itself, but, of
course, while the tenant remained
"without title to any part of the im
provements he had made, and with no
protection against capricious eviction.
he was only exchanging masters, and
in most cases exchanging them for the
worse.
There was a rush of creditors to the
new court, the bankrupt estates were
bought wholesale by speculators and
rents were raised higher than before.
Evictions by wholesale ensued- Ail Ire
land was a place of misery and mourn
ing. Finding rent collections impos
• sible. the new landlords were seized
with a mania for making large grazing
farms; and the helpless tenants were
Fwept "off the land as ruthlessly as if
ta«7 had been noxious animals..
• In 1549 and succeeding years, when
an eviction was virtually a sentence of
*tar%-ation, populous districts as large
as small counties were turned Into
plains. Houses were razed,
fences leveled and the little farms con
; *=«I!dated in huge ranches. It was at
thfs period that the London Times,
"never noted for sympathy with Ire
land's woes, confessed that "the name
"of an Irish landlord stinks in the nos
trils of Christendom." In the ten years
following the famine 300,000 families
w<?fe thrust out of their homes and
;. 5P0.00© victims of tyranny and spoil
*Sng fled from Ireland to America! This
wan the -high tide in the wave of em
igration, but to this day the flow has
never ceased.
"The Three FV
As early as 1845 the Deven commis
sion had recommended the. correcting
nf the glaring injustice which denied to
the tenant any Interest in the farm he
created from the" bare land. But it
was not until lSlOthat the principle
was established. Even* then the 'rem
edy was Ineffective. The law simply
'made the landlord pay for improye
'rcents when he evicted '_ a tenant, and
he could recoup himself by raising the
rent to the next incumbent. ?;Out of
This grew the famocs demand for "the
three F"«" — fair rent./ free sale and

PENINSULA MAY
ENJOY MOTOR
CAR SERVICE
Southern Pacific Secretly Ex*
periraents With Gasoline
Coaches on the Run
Rapid Growth of Suburban
Cities Causes Activity of
Railroad Company
Acting with a maximum degree of
secrecy, the Southern Pacific has just
completed a number of successful ex
periments with gasoline motor cars
from its Third and Townsend street
depot to San Bruno. These trips have
been made over the old Valencia street
route and are said to be merely pre
liminary to a regular interurban serv
ice.
In the Sacramento valley and at
many points along the San Joaquin,
the company has operated motor cars
with such success that regular sched
ul*s have been placed in effect. The
company, it is said, has in contempla
tion a' system of interurban routing
which will give swift transportation
down the peninsula. . .
The rapid development of the subur
ban cities has so increased the pas
senger traffic between San Francisco
and San Jose that the company has
found itself face to face with a serious
and gTowin? problem. Additional
rights of way are being: rapidly ac
quired for the four track system that
is to join this city and. San. Jose. Part
of- the general plan, it is understood,
1* to make provision by which the
motor car service may in time be ex
tended .to the Garden City.
Trial Trips Made
No date has been set for the opening
of an interurban jsrasollne; motor sj-s
tem down the peninsula, nor are the
Southern Pacific officials prepared to
admit that it is contemplated.. It is
known, however, that the trial trips
have been made for the express) purpose
of determining the posibilllies of an in~l
terurhan aystem. LwJThat the '..-experi
ments have been successful is also
known. : . • '[: .
The bay shore cutoff is now used for
the' bulk of the traffic and the Valencia
street route would be available for the
motor car service. It passes through
a populous district^ which lacks ade
quate transportation facilities.
The recent acquisition by the South
ern Pacific of the city and suburban
lines about San Jose assumes added
significance' In \u25a0 this connection. , The
company Is in the field for more fran
chises, in some .cases openly, and in
other Instances secretly.
At Mayfield, Paul Shoup and E. P. i
Chapin, representing the Peninsula
railroad company, a subsidiary South
ern Pacific corporation, operating elec
tric lines in. the vicinity of San Jose,
have asked the city council to advertise
an electric road franchise for sale, tak
ing a general north and south route
through the town. The city council
has complied with their request and In
troduced the necessary ordinance
which will allow the company one more
connecting link between San Jose and
Palo Alto.
Route Has Been Selected
The line between Palo Alto and Stan
ford university campus, over which
there -has been an air of mystery for
some months, now seems assured.^ »A
route. has been selected and marked by;
the eurveyors. The line /as at! pres
ent laid down on th* ground will fol
low the automobile road within the uni
versits' grounds, thei campus -terminus
being near the bookstore, just south
of the quadrangle. ""*
For months the Southern Pacific has
been quietly acquiring additional rights
of way between South San Francisco
and San Jose, which, will eventually be
used for the coriipletion of their four
track system. The strongest efforts, in !
obtaining the additional land have been
put forth by the company from Red-"
wood City northward* in order to take
care .of the increase of, traffic which
will -result 'with the, completion of the
Dumbarton bridge. "At the present time
the necessity of putting in strong con
crete foundations at the 'bridge has
somewhat held' back ; the; completion of
that piece of construction. »

llUSfUlal
Says Appointment of Dr. Baum
in His Stead Is; Petty
Great surprise has been occasioned by
the announcement at the. German hos
pital that or, c. O. Jellinek, the emi
nent specialist, has been dropped from
the medical staff and' that- Dr. Ru
dolph Baum has been_ elected in his
place. No reason has been advanced
for the elimination of Dr. Jellinek nor
has any explanation been vouchsafed
the physician. There is some indefinite
talk of politics, but the friends of Dr.
Baum declare that it^ was merely a
simple matter of hospital procedure.
One report has it that Dr. Baum, who
was connected with the hospital some
five years ago, has always felt that Dr.
Jellinek came between him and his po
sition and has now seized the oppor
tunity to turn the tables. Both,phy
sicians, however, declare that there has
been no friction between them.
The action of the hospital authorities
was the more surprising by reason of
the fact that they had specially Invited
Dr. Jellinek to apply for reappolnt
ment. This was considered to all in
tents and purposes an engagement for
another year. Dr. iellinek was taken
aback a few days .later when Informed
that Dr. Baum had been elected in his

What^ Directors Sa^'
The directors of the instittftion assert
that there was no complaint against Dr.
Jellinek, and declare that his services
were .satisfactory in '.every respect.
"There was.no objection of any kind
to Dr. Jellinek," said Fritz Hageman.
one of the hospital trustees, last night.
"The name o( Dr. Buora was presented
at the meeting, and in the voting that
followed, he was -elected. If there is
anything more than that to it I am
not aware of it."
: E." C. Priber, president of the hospi

Part of the island upon which the j
city Is situated was again inundated, j

storm, which had been central over the

READY FOR STOH3I
: A hurricane for" East Texas was
forecasted early in the day. When the
storm broke Galveston was prepared.
The inhabitants of the few scattered
houses sought safety and the, vessels
were riding at anchor In the bay.
The fury of the storm was soon
abated, and the anxiety of those who
entertained fears of another tidal wave
was thus early relieved. .

Mallory line steamer, booked to start
for New York shortly after; noon, left
on time. -' . .
TELEGItAI'H CABLE* PARTED
A heavy dredge had been blown
against the' single bridge. -which con
nects Galve.ston island with the main
land, and the telegraph cables had been
parted. As\.a result all manner of
rumors were soon rife that Galve3ton
had again suffered such a storm as that
which -practically destroyed the ' city
nine years . ago.' .
Few, buildings were blown. down, but
it. is- believed that 'many warehouses
were flooded "and that . goods on " the
bottom floors of {these buildings were
ruined. Consequently it will require

W'ASHINGTOX. July 21. —The
much talked of White House
dinner conference, at wbJeh tJie
tariff conferees and the president*
'closest advisers were brought to
gether in the effort to settle dif
ferences regarding the tariff bin.
ended at 11:30 o'clock, with tns dis
putes over raw materials no nearer
-
adjustment than they were before the
dinner invitations were issued.
Must Settle It Themselves
Only one qnestion wa3 determined
beyond appeal, and that was that th-s
conferees will have to. settle their own
differences.
Pains were taken to convey the im
pression that this decision is not in
dicative of any absence of apprecia
tion of the president's efforts. It mere
ly confirmed what the "elder states
men" had asserted from the first — that
tariff makirnc In trading, and the
shrewdest dealer and the strongest
; section .is bound to get the best of the
-arguincat.
Representative Dwight, the .republi-'
; .can -whip, . spok»_ for th« house at the
dinner. " He, referred I ' to the Insurgent
movement organized by the "anti tree
raw material" . faction, but wa3 no:
ready to estimate the strength of this
element.
Representative Payne expressed the
opinion that a conference report carry
ing free Iron ore, coal, hides and oil
could be". adopted In the house, but he
said that he had not canvassed the situ
j What Aldrich Thinks
Senator Aldrich was positive in the
| opinion that such a report would fail in
} the senate, but he thought there could
be reductions made in the senate. rates,
with perhaps iron ore and oil trans
ferred to the free list, without endan
gering its adoption.
It was stated the president realized
that, the time had not yet arrived t f »
j call for a "decision on the subject of
i raw. materials- Most of tho^e present
I agreed with Pre>i lent Taft that the
I customs court should be situated in
Washington, since it is to be a final
court of appeal.. •-\u0084 - .
The discussion of the corporation tax
dealt" with , the revenue it "will produce
land Its general political effect. .
• Some of- the conferees saitl after th*
dinner that.no conference report would
be signed until both houses had been
canvassed. Xo one can-say - how much
this will delay adjournment.
Cullom Not Present

..The dinner was -said to have been
one -of the most carefully prepared
banquets ever served from the , famou*
old White House kitchens and it was
no ; fault of the,- president, his steward
or "«his old Virginia- -*d"arky cook if
the "conferees were hot in, amiable
mood when the meal .was done.
Taft Sobth'es Payne '
'WASHINGTON". July, 21.— Better
progress wa3*raade today by the tariff
conferees i than on', any day since the
troublesome disputes were reached.
Many. paragraphs were settled with
out any renewal of hostilities.
President Taft " is given credit for
the smoothness of the conference. It
developed that after Senator AldricU
and Speaker, Cannon told their troubles
to the president yesterday he under
took to bring .the warring factions to
-gether. He , ordered out his big tour-
Ing car and went to; Payne's home.
Pacified By Taft
Soon the chairman of, the house wayi
and means- committee and the presi
dent -were Vidinar out toward country
roads. ,' The two talked over the situa
tion. What ' they said will never be
known, but Payne made oo abJscUaa
