Jackson boulevard and laSalle

moved, were lined with' people.
As the Tiser turned into JjaSalle

HOUSE OF COMMONS
PASSES IRISH
Action Comes After Debate in
a Single Sitting and With
:v" ' out Division
LONDON, Nov. 27. (By The Asso
ciated Pyess) The house of commons
tonight, without division, passed the
second reading of the Irish constitution
bill after a debate in a single sitting:
without, striking incidents.
That it has fallen to the lot of a con
servative government to pilot through
parliament final. legislative sanction to
measures granting Ireland such com
plete autonomy is one of . the ironies of
political fate. The conservative party
for two generations has stoutly resist
ed the granting of self government to
Ireland ' in even the mildest form and
no political questian .during that long
period has provoked anything like the
bitter animosities and conflicts in par
liament, on platform, and in the press,
which accompanied the fight around
Irish home rule. . .
Now the fight apparently is ended
and parliament, with a large conserva
tive majority quietly accepts the' prin
ciple of the , new Irish constitution
without even challenging division. This
is all the. more remarkable as it was
mainly the revolt bf 'the - "die hards"
section of the conservatives against the
coalition government f or setting .up a
treaty with the Sinn Fein which led; to
the- rebellion of the : conservatives
agalnst-'the Lloyd George -; leadership
and.'overthrew;; :the coalition" rgovej-n

Vr Antagonism to the constitution Jalll
hardly took reform. Its rejection was
moved ' by a newcomer In parliament,
the labor ites' Saklatvala who repre-i
senta John Burns' old constituency
Battersea. . He -opposed the bill" on rthe
ground -that the Irish treaty, was. stgn
ed ..under ."duress, and was therefore
greater mockery than was the act
union. . ' ' - ; : ' ' '
The communist, J. T. W. Newbold,
seconded the motion, which was- nega
tively "without division after receiving
no support whatever from any quarter
of the house. Saklatvala, in the course
of his speech, predicted that within live
years parliament would find itself un
der; the. necessity o.f undoing this act.
Colonel Wedgewood one of the.-la-borite
members, appealed to Saklatvala
not to press his motion to a division.

seven shots in the shape of.' amend
ments were fired at the administra
tion shipping bill, in the,house today
and six hit spots more 'or less, vital.
At adjournment tonight the bill had
covered exactly, one-third of Its tem
pestuous voyage toward the senate.
Representative Graham of Illinois, a
Republican, went home with three of
the half dozen amendments in his
shooting bag, all of which were put
through with the aid of Republican
votes.
-Early in the fight Representative
Edmonds, Pennsylvania, ranking Re
publican of the merchant marine com
mittee which framed the bill, formally
announced' on the floor, that the" sec
tion under which the Standary Oil. com
pany, for example, would share in the
government subsidy for transporting
its own goods In Its own ships, would
be stricken bodily. This, in the view
of western Republicans, added to its
chance of passage.
Rated as the most important amend
ment to stand up, " was the Graham
proposal which cut out of the bill the
provision under which shippers, send
ing their goods abroad in American
vessels, would receive a five per cent
Income tax rebate, which, in some In
stances, it , was charged in . the' house,
would have enabled some: shippers to
escape ! all - payments. , It was adopted
py a.yote or 66 to' 47, after, it had been
Characterized by Mr. Graham as "vie.
ious and extremely dangerous."
Stepping in. unexpectedly, Represent
tatlve Oliver. Democrat, Alabama, pre
sented an amendment, acceptance of
which virtually -fixed an ..upset , price
for the sale of the steamship Leviathan,"
the biggest of the government fleet.
This provided that the Leviathan, now
being reconditioned, should not. be sold
at a price -less than the cost of re
ccrndltioning.' Precise figures obtained
tonight from,' the appropriations- com
mittee showed that this cost was -$8,-166,000.
: First declared defeated, the
Oliver -proposal won, 81 to-'78.-,-
The fight to riddle the bill was. be
gun, five minutes after the actual reading-started..
'On' his feet, first, Mr.
Graham? put-forward an amendment to

An Official Investigation Will
be Begun at Once, it is
Announced
; WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.-r-Midship-men
from the Naval academy who cele
brated over Indulgently after the an
nual Army-Navy f ootball" game Satur
day, were held up to public scorn today
by Secretary Denby, in one of the most
stinging rebukes ever administered by
a secretary of- navy.
Many members of the corps, Mr.
Denby declared In a public statement,
not only disgraced themselves and the
uniform, but i their conduct at a ball
which followed tHe -game In Philadel
phia brought such shame upon the
academy itself as it never had known
before..
The secretary said he did not know
how many of the midshipmen "drank
heavily," and was convinced that the
great majority conducted, themselves
with propriety. But he added that
enough of . them had failed in their
duty "to bring shame upon all." He
announced that an investigation would
be begun at once.
None of the guilty were .named in
the secretary's' indictment, nor ; did : it
appear' certain tonight " that' the de
partment would find it possible to sin-,
gle out any .individual midshipman. It
was indicated that the1 inquiry prob
ably "would take the direction, of a
general effort to establish, what the
conditions. were that made the incident
possible, and that any disciplinary ac
tion probably would fall upon the en
tire Annapolis establishment in such a
way as to keep the corps hereafter
within more strinzent limitations.
Both-Secretary Denby "and Secretary
Weeks, of the war department, together
with many of the highest officers ' of
the army and navy, attended the-game
in Philadelphia, . but .it . was said to
day that the war department had no
information i. that any of - the cadets
from West' Point conducted themselves
improperly. . The cadets did .not .remain-
for the evening's festivities- ;-;
- still" another spectator, at the . game

Secretary Denby said in response to
inquiries that he would , nof . bring up
at the- cabinet mteetfng. tomorrow the
Question of the relationship between j
the" midshipmen's conduct and prohi
bition. He . drew a,' sharp line of de
marcation, and said that , the investi
gation to be-conductea wodld be based
on a matter -Of military discipline en

I When his attention was called to the
statement , of '.the. navy secretary, Sec
retary Weeks declined to" make' any
comment. ' The -West, Point cadet corps
returned directly to -West Point in spe
cial trains- in accordance with thejrac
tice of the'war department. The West
Point team and substitutes went to
New York.- where they spent the night
at a hotel under the eye of the coach
