BULLETIN.
DUBUK, March 21.-The first victim ot
the existing state ot excitement in Ire
land was a soldier at the Curragh camp,
who was late for roll call. He attempted
to scale a wall of the barracks and was
shot by a sentry. It Is thought that the
wotnd will prove fatal.
The ' commander-ln-chlcf In Ireland,
deneral Sir Arthur Paget, has arrived at
the Curragh, whqro conferences are In
progress between the officers who havo
resigned their commissions and the mili
tary authorities, ,v 1
LONDON, March 21. A mutiny of two
companies of the Dorsetshire regiment
stationed In Belfast is reported by the
Fatt Mall Gazette. ' ,
The Pall Mall Gazotte'smcssage says:
"When tho men of the first battalion
of the Dorsetshire regiment Were paraded
in Belfast today and notified that they
were being transferred elsewhere, thoy
threw down their arms. A sergeant
stepped forward, saluted tho of leers and
sal: 'Wo will have no home rule here.' "
This Is thought In somo quarters to bo
an exaggerated version of the reports of
unrest among the regular troops in Ulster.
MHny Arrar Officer Ileslgu.
The outstanding feature ot the nows
from Ireland today was the disaffection
among tho officers of the regular army
under orders to proceed to Ulster with
their regiments.
The actual number ot resignations
ainotigvthtni .ffj.ttfl)l..problemaUcal, but
that It was considerable was evident,
from tho earnest early morning consulta
tions ot cabinet ministers regarding tho
lest means of counteracting tho move
ment.
Tho actual fact of this disaffection is
the more discomforting to the military
authorities, since the army is already
seriously short of commissioned oticcrs.
Threats ot a crisis In tho army if a
movement of regular troops was under
taken against Ulster had long been cur
rent and in some quarters it Is bollevcd
that tho sudden marching ot a limited
number-of troops was ordered so that the
military authorities might gather an Idea
as to how. widespread tho threatened dis
affection was.
Array Council In Session.
Immediately after Colonel Seely. the
secretary of Btato for war, had been In
audience wltn Kins Georgo at Bucking
ham Falaco this morning, Colonel Seely
rummoned a meeting ot the army Coun
cil wVifiVi rtnlr iVirt n n.. n .Inn. n
replace officers who had resigned.
According to reports, however, the
number of vacancies Is rapidly Increasing,
and It, seems possible that all the reg
ular regiments which have been serving
la Ulster may have to bo withdrawn and
replaced by fresh troops, as both men
and officers havo openly expressed their
disinclination to take tho offensive
against men with whom they have been
fraternising.
This momentary shlftinsr of the lmmed-
late crisis from Ulster to the army may
give tho peace makers tuelr desired open
ing. ,
If ope for Settlement.
N The return of Arthur J. Balfour, former
unionist premier to London, has given
heart to the advocates of a compromise.
He and Premier Asqulth have served long
years side by side in the political field
and understand and appreciate one an
other. Premier Asqulth and Andrew Bonar
Law, the official leader of the opposition
in the House ot Commons, whenever they
have come Into contact have given em
bitter displays of partisanship.

LONG HGHT FOR HOME RULE
Agitation On Since Irish Parliament
Abolished in 1801.
BRINGS SPLIT IN LIBERAL PARTY
Secession of Chamberlain nnd Other
Itadlcnl Leaders Cnmed by
Uladstonea efforts to
Kren Erin.
Ireland has striven for home rule with
out a moment's cessation ever slnco the
Irish Parliament was- abolished and tho
legislative union of Great Britain .ma
Ireland was proclaimed January 1, 1S01.
In the 113 years that havo passed since
that date tho agitation has gone on undtr
various forms, pacific and violent, led
by such patriots as Daniel O'Connell.
William Smith O'Brien, Charles Stewart
Parnell, O'Donovan Rossa and Michael
Davltt, to mention only a few of the more
prominent. These were succeeded by tho
Redmonds and tho Hcalys, who aro In
the forofront of the movement today.
Tho patriotic movement was suppressed
time after time by coercion acts passed
by tho British Parliament onlv tn tnUn
another form. Tho Molly Magulrcs, the
T;oung Ireland party, tho Land leaguj
and the National lcaguo were all Irish
poUtlcal societies which had their day.
Thousands of Irish nationalists served
terms of imprisonment for their partici
pation In tho fight for leglslatlvo inde
pendence from Great Britain. Hundred!
were exiled, many of them proceeding lo
tho United States. ,
Tho agitation somo times took on tho
Helmet ot extreme violence, as when Lord
Frederick Cavendish, the chief secretary
for Ireland, and T. H. Burke, permanent
secretary, were assassinated by "Invlncl
blcs" May C, 1SS2, In Phoenix park, in
Dublin.
Tho parliamentary fight for home rule
was waged for many decades and gave
riso to extraordinary scenes In tn
usually staid British Parliament, often
ringing about the exnulslon nf mrmtior
and the stoppage of business.
Th first effort of tho British covpxn-
mcnt to meet the demand for Irish home
rule was made by William Ewart Glad

who slnco on Irish questions have acted
with tho consorvatrVe party. Since then
several Irish homo rule bills have been
introduced by liberal governments, and
the last'one passed tho House ot Com
mons, but was rejected by tho House of
Lords. This led to tho passage threo
years ago of tho Parliament act, under
tho provisions of which any bill jiot on

ana several other leading men took tho

They Insisted that Ulster should be left

The chief points at Issue in Ireland Is
tho religious ono. Out of a total popula
tion of about 4.G0O.00O, approximately
600,000 are Protestants of various denomi
nations. Most of these aro found in the
four Ulster counties of Londonderry,
Antrim, Armagh and Downing. The other
five counties of Ulster are predominantly
Catholic. As a matter of fact, Ulster re

Thero is considerable difference between
tho pcoplo of the eastern part of Ulster
and fhoso of tho Jest of Ireland. Many of
the Ulsterltes are descendants ot English
settlers sent thero by Cromwell to foster
the agriculture and induatrica'of Ireland
after he had subdued tho country.
Others are descendants of Scottish cove
nanters. Not all the Protestants of Ire
land aro against, homo rule. Parnell hlm

12,000 rebel soldiers today wore almost

their long, hard march through the desert
from Maplml and Ilermcjlllo, tho little'
khakl-clad soldiers of Villa sprang to
their work with a test which discounted
tho stern order for haste. ,
General Villa's army, numbering- IZ.Wi
men, has more than forty field pleies1
and an Immense supply of ammunition,

Tho governor declared changes in the
life, business and views of the people
made necessary a revision ot the state
constitution as adopted in 1634.
"Woman's suffrage, for Instance," he
said, "was then a theory while It now Is
a fact. Leglslatlvo abuses, which have
crept into the government were not fore

that Judges cannot clear their dockets.
Tho Influence of corporations has wid

Prof. Schocltlo was summarily dls

sational charges filed against Schoottle

In tho School ot Music, led to the board's

Tho first charge was that Prof. Sohoet

Following a conferenco this morning

B. Felt of Hupcrlor, tho twb lattor staled

Felt's defalcations havo been variously

Took No Money Avrny.
"I didn't got a single dollar of the

years of experience aa a banker
I have proved myself to bo a poor one.
I advanced money to corporations and
individuals to whom I should hav rn.
tused loans, and then mado speculations
in stocks and other ventures that I should
not have mide. I mado a mistake in doing
it and then I used bad Judgment In the
Investments, so the thlnir has wiped me
out as well aa wrecking the bank. I am
anxious to faco the whole alfalr and tr
io straighten it out and tako my pun
ishment. "My conscience forced mo to surrender,"
Felt continued. Ho was president of the
Nebraska Basoball league and was at
tending the annual meeting at Krurney
Just before his bank closed January 9.
Going to Denver and Cheyenne, he tin
ally reached Pan Francisco without be

Blreets there for two weeks, broodlmj
over his trouble.

"I couldn't stand It. I worried and
brooded until I lost thirty-five pounds
and was lu a terrible mental hell. Then
t wrote Father Fltxgorald at Superior
and surrendered to the tnlted States
marshal. My friends have all been good
to me slnco, and I have been ashamed
to meet them after what I have done.
All I auk Is that I be given a chance to
untangle the bank's affairs the best I
can. I have hopes that it will pay out
100 cents on the dollar, without tho as.
segment which has been mado."

In tho strip of territory In Omaha torn
by the tornado of Easter Sunday, March
1, 1913. Tho lapse of twolve months to

homes practically all rebuilt nnd the path
of tho tornado hard to follow. Today
a man who went over the wrecked dls
trlct dozons of times a. year ago, woutd
have extremo difficulty In attempting to
trace out tho path of destruction. Stately
mansions havo arisen where old ones
fell. The debris has been cleared away
and burned with the exception ot hero
and thero a neglected corner on a va
cant lot, where, among tho weeds, may
still bo found llttlo plies of crushed
plastering and lath, and a few broken
bricks.
The relief committee, or committee ot
fifty, organised the day after the tor

district and helping those who needed
help most. When It was learned through
out tho country that relief money would
be accepted by the committee, money
poured in from all parts of tho United
States and even from foreign lands until
tho relief fund, Including state and city
appropriations, mounted to $130,000.

Some 729 families were given financial
