SCOPE OF ITS PROVISIONS. Confers Partial. Control of Local Af-. fairs Upon Ireland and Is Regarded as a Step Toward Home Rula.
Bill Is Ridiculed by Balfour Rsd-mond Deliver a Brilliant Spoaoh in Behalf of Complete Horn Rule. London, May 7. The government today presented Its long awaited Irish Kin trt tua Common and the country. This bill is designed to meet the demands for Irish homo rule. It was presented by.
the chief secretary for Ireland, Mr. Birrell. to a crowded House" Prior to' tfie' appearaiica 6f this measure it was popularly termed a "devolution bill," but to-day It is referred to as the "Irish council bill," or even the 'Irish bill." Compared with the home rule blUa of 1886 and 1906, the measure of today confers little self government upon Ireland, merely giving to tho council control of the eight departments now managed by government boards. The council is to be appointed by tha crown, and while the lord lieutenant of Ireland is given power to nullify Its measures, the crown retains control of five, of the eight departments. Including the constabulary.
The control ot this branch always has been a thorn in the flesh of the Irish DeODle. It is natural and quite to be ex-' pected that this half way measure wholly pleasing to no apolitical party. The Unionists regard It as a step toward home rule. They object to giving to Ireland the management of departments of local affairs, while the Irish members of the House of Commons retain the right to legislate la similar affairs for England and Scotland The radicals are disappointed that the measure, falls so Mar short of actual home rule, and the Irish members are even more disappointed with it. The Irish leaders, however, are maintaining a diplomatic attitude until they have time to study the provisions of the bill and learn the sentiment of the people.
A Nationalist convention will be held In Dublin soon to decide upon tha policy of the Irish party. The Labor-ites will support the measure because they are all home rulers. After the bill had been presented and explained By Mr. Btrrell It was criticised and ridiculed by A. on behalf of the opposition.
John E. .1 1 ncumuuu men ueuverea a urunam speech, noteworthy principally for it dignified and. forceful exposition a Ireland's claims for complete home rule. The audience of the speakers Mas worthy the historical and parliamentary occasion. The entire ministry occupied seats on the front benches.

Stahf admitted' that he entered the horse Palm Leaf, with a record of 2:11, a Prince Edward, 2:27 aod also that he made a wrongful entry. Sensational charges against race officials at a special free-for-all- pace, arranged In connection with the meeting of the Lehigh Valley Pennsylvania Agricultural Society on September 29. 1906 were heard.

The case will be further considered In executive session. Clark was also complainant In a similar case, where he alleged another suppression of time in a race.

The steamship lines as a result of to-night's meeting, will Btand together in the fight."

Strike Breakers Whin Assailed by the Strikers and, Their Hoodlum Friends With Bricks and Stones Respond With a Fusillade of Pistol Shots.
Fierce Running Fight For Several Blocks Two Police Officers Are Among the Wounded. San Francisco. May 7. The strike of the 1,700 union motormen and conductors of the United Railroads developed this afternoon into a riot in which more than a score of persons were severely hurt, some fatally. At 2:30 o'clock the Company made its first attempt to" resume operations by sending out seven passenger coaches manned by about forty strike breakers.
The men wore uniforms of car Inspectors and each carried a 38-calibre revolver. The start was made from the company's barn at Turk and Fillmore streets, where a crowd of from S.0O0 to $.00 men -and boys had gathered. Twenty-seven policemen, five mounted officers and several sergeants, under the command of Capt. Mooney, were on patrol. The appearance of the cars In Fillmore street, from which they were switched, into Turk street, was the signal for an outburst of Jeers and howls- Before the cars had gone one block they were made the targets for stones and bricks.
In a few moments every pane of glass had been smashed and several of the operatives had been struck, cut and bruised. FUSILLADE OF PISTOL SHOTS. At Turk and Buchanan streets an especially fierce attack was made on the cars. A bullet from one of the cars struck a union sympathizer in the arm. This transformed the crowd into a wild mob and thenceforward for twelve blocks there was fierce fighting.
The strikers and their friends, aided by hundreds of youthful hoodlums, kept up a shower of missiles. The guards responded with fusillade after fusillade of pistol shots. Eight men received bullet wounds some of which will prove fatal. Among those thus Injured are a detective sergeant and a patrolman. Finally a dozen or more of the guards were arrested by reserves from the Central police station and a union crowd boarded the rearmost car and started it back to the barns.
Arriving there, the striker charge, revolver fire was opened from the barns. In this encounter several more men were shot. A nonunion man threw the switch at Turk and Fillmore streets and the derailed car shot into the sidewalk, maiming two men whose names have not been learned. In the stampede that followed scores of women and children were trampled upon. The appearance of relief squads to reenforc police captain Mooney's men resulted about 4:30 o'clock in the partial dispersing of the crows.
A rumor has it that superintendent Chapman was seen about 5 o'clock driving rapidly on Golden Gate avenue In an automobile that was dashed with blood. There Is no confirmation of the rumor that Mr. Chapman was wounded. Practically all of the police reserves have been called out and are now patrolling the neighborhood of Fillmore and Turk streets. The general belief Is that because of this afternoon's tragic happenings further efforts to reume operations of the system will be withheld until officials of the company are satisfied that the police will afford protection to property and life.
The bloody events of the afternoon were preceded by a less serious clash In the forenoon, when a freight car manned by Inspectors and barn superintendent Jones was run out of the yards at Turk and Fillmore streets and operated for half a block. The crowds showered the car with brickbats and stones and slightly Injured two Inspectors. Finally all attempt to operate the car was given un and It was run back by Jones himself.
