House ot commons Adopts Measure
for Third Time and it Will Become
Law Within 48 Hours.
ULSTER IS READY TO FIGHT
31'-afire Booomea Effective Under
lYcKut Law Even Though Uie
Houxe of Lords) Should Reject the
liill Threat or QvU War In Ire
land Attracts All Attention.
LONDON, May 25. The house of
commons this afternoon passed the
Irish home rule bill for the third
. time. Under the present law it will
become effective even though the
house of lords rejects it.
, LONDON, May 25. With the home
rule bill expected to become a law
within the next 48 hours, the eyes of
England are now turned on Ulster.
The threat of civil war In Ireland
before a parliament can be set up In
Dublin Is engossing the attention of
the nation. With the crisis so close
at hand, Ulster has made arrange
ments to assemble the provisional
government and mobilize the well
armed volunteers for resistance. Arms
and ammunition have been distributed
nd plans completed for the calling
out of this army at a moment s no
tlce. 'According to the orders to the
commanders of these volunteers these
steps have been taken "to assist In
keeping peace In the event of dis
turbances arising out of the passage
of the home rule bill."
Londonderry and Tyrone are dan
ger points, for here the Nationalists
and Ulster men are evenly divided and
"both are armed. Nationalist rejoicings
over the passage of the bill might
easily lead to a clash and extra police)
liave been drafted for service In thesa
districts, and. If necessary, the mili
tary will be ordered to proceed to the
assistance of the civil authorities In
case of trouble.
The third reading of the bill was In
terrupted on Thursday by the speak
er, because of the obstructive tactics
of the unionists, which could not be
checked.
BELFAST, Ireland, May 25. The
royal Irish constabulary In Ulster are
lielng heavily reinforced hi anticipa
tion of trouble over the passage of the
home rule bill.- As the government
found many army officers Independ
able it evidently has decided to trust
the police as far as possible.
DUBLIN. May 25. Three hundred
Irish constabulary have been dis
patched to Belfast and other point-
in Ulster. The men are armed witn
rifle and revolvers. Their mission Is
to keep order In case of an attempted
i prising.
LONDON, May 25. The quick
vote on the home rule measure was
ti surprise amounting almost to a
Kpnxntion. Crowds had flocked to
Westminster expecting to hear a red-

GRADUATES
LOCAL H
SCHOOL
HEAR MOST HI LECTURE
Declaring the real end of life to be
service, Rev. E. W. Warrington of
Freewater, last evening spoke' to the
graduating class of the Pendleton
high school, preaching the annual
baccalaureate sermon. He took as his
subject, "The Young Joseph Facing
Life," drawing a parallel between the
Biblical character going forth to meet
the stern realities and the students
Just ready to go out into the world
after 'completing their course In the
schools. It was an Interesting and
Inspiring sermon and the large audi
ence as well as the graduates gave It
attention absolutely from first to last.
The speaker emphasised particular,
ly the point that it Is possible for ev
ery person to rise above the clrcum
stunces of his or her environment
and he pointed to Abraham Lincoln
as a striking Illustration. But, he
went on to say, no matter what the
special talent or specliil training of
the person, failure was inevitable In
the end unless purity of heart was
maintained. Illustrating this he told
of a, giant oak tree that stood in the
lard of his old home. It Withstood
the blasts of fierce storms, he said,
long as Its heart was sound but fell
with a crash In a very light storm
when Its heart became rotten and
worm-eaten.
In conclusion, tha speaker laid
stress upon the fact that the greatest
craving of man Is religion and, he
said, we are reaching the goal of our
life onlv Insofar as we cultivate a
friendship with the Almighty.
Uev. S. L. Grlgsby of the Presby
terlan church, presided at the ser
vice which were opened by the slng1-
Ing of the Doxology- by the audience,
Mrs. J. U. Dickson accompanying.
The Innovation was given by Rev. E.
R. Clevlnger of the Baptist church
and the scripture was read by Rev. C
A. Hodshlre of the Methodist church.
A beautiful tenor solo, "Fear Not Ye,
O Israel." was sung by Walter Rose,
and another beautiful vocal number.
"Heaven .and Earth Display" from
Mendelssohn's "Atalle" was rendered
bv the girls' glee club.
The benediction at the close of the
services was pronounced by Rev
Charles Qulnney of the Episcopal
church.
DICTATOR SAID TO RE MEEK
An Attenii la Looked for, However,
to Regain Pro Ice and Deal Ven
geance t"m Blanquet If Opportu
nity Offeru Houses Barricaded In
Anticipation of Fighting.
VERA CRUZ, May 25, War Minis
ter Blanquet dominated the situation
In Mexico City today, according to
advices received here from reliable
sources.
Blanquet is openly defiant. It Is
said, and Huerta Is reported to be
submissive. The two fell out, It Is
said, following a discovery by Huerta
on Saturday of a plot against his gov-
ernment. Mad with rage, the dicta
tor hurried to Belem prison and or
dered 100 political prisoners executed.
Blanquet arrived at this Juncture
and ordered the prisoners returned to
their cells.
"You must stop killing all your
supposed enemies If you expect me
to support you," Huerta told H cmfw
to support you," Blanquet told Huerta.
The dictator agreed, left the prison
and went to a cafe.
The momentary surrender by Huer
ta Is not taken ti mean that the dic
tator would not attempt later to res
gain his prestige and inflict dire ven
geance upon Bli.nquet If he thought
he saw an oppoi tunlty.
Business house s in the capital are
barricaded In expectation of street
fighting.
Popular belief. Isl that Huerta will
not last another 'week. In the event
of a crisis It Is expected that Blan
quet will take entire charge . and
probably, attempt to deport the dic
tator.
TORREON, May 25. That the reb
els defeated the federal outposts at
Zacatecas Is reported In dispatches
from General Natera, constitutionalist

ening contest and as a result there

LOWER DECREE FOR OWN-
ERS OF TITANIC.
LONDON, May 25. Gustav Hamel,
most popular and intrepid of British
aviators, friend of kings and princes
and darling of society, Is niis.slng aft
er starting from Calais for a cross
channel flight, and grave fears are
entertained for his safety.
Hamel started from Vtllacoublay
Saturday In a new mono-plane for
Hendon, where he Intended to com
pete In the aerial derby, but hud to
descend near Boulogne. About 1:30
in the afternoon he resumed his flight
and was seen near Calais about 3
o'clock. Since then nothing has been
heard of him. The weather has been
unfavorable for flying on account of
the thick haz? following the recent
hot wave.
Hmel should have reached the
English coast within half an hour aft
er leaving Calais. At midnight ex
tensive elnqulrles along the English
and French coosts had failed to re
veal any trace of him and li Is feared
he has fallen into the sea.

WASHINGTON. May 25. The su
preme court decided the federal laws
limiting liability for loss of life and
property in such disasters as that
which destroyed the Titanic may be
invoked by the Oceanic Steam and
Navigation company, owners of the
Titanic. The decision affirms the de
crees of the lower courts. The su
preme court held the American laws
apply to suits brought In the United
States.
The court also sustained the old
commerce court's decision enjoining
the Interstate commission ot li I'i
prohibiting a Joint rate or rebate pay
ment to tap lines. The decision Is
against the government and Inter
state commission. The cases involve
millions annually In alleged rebutes
by trunk lines to lumber and lKKirit
roads. The effect It Is beleved will
be to seriously cripple the commis
sion's control over Joint' through rate
on divisions given subsidiary lines.
