LONDON, April 7.—After a fight of 28 years, hoxpe rule for Igeland is now practically assured. By July 1, supporters of the Government claimed to-day, the home rule bill will be on the statute bocks, and immediately afterward the first steps will be taken to establish an Irish Parliament in Dublin. Although the Government’s major ity on the division on the second reading of the home rule bill was cut to 80, members of the Cabinet do not regard this as indicative of hostil ity on the part of the people at large against the measure. The vote taken on an amendment for the rejectio %Wl resulted; Noes, 356; ayes, 216, : Now Goes to Lords. The bill now goes to the House of Lords, but their power to Kkill the legislation is dead as a result of the veto bill. They can reject it, but the measure will come again jinto the Lands of the Cabinet, where the re jection of the Peers will be rejected. The measure becomes a law by regal assent, It now remains for the Govern ment and representatives of the anti home rulers of Ulster Province to reach an agreement, There is every likelihood that this soon will be an accomplished fact. The conciliatory attitude adopted within the past few days by Sir Ed ward Carson, leader of the Ulstel Unionists, and some of the chief fol lowers, indicates that the Orangemen will accept the original proposals of the Government which give the Protestants in the Ulster counties the right of a referendum to say wh#iher or not they shall be excluded from the workings of the home rule bill for six years. The sea of politics still bubbles hotly, but the talk of eivil war has died out. Messages for Redmond. John Redmond, leader of the Irish Nationalists, who has devoted his life to ‘the fight for home rule, received hundreds of messages of congratula tion to-day from his followers. Simi lar telegrams were sent to Premier Asquith, who is campaigning in East Fife, in Scotland. It is believed that the return to Parliament of the Premier will see the beginning of tangible plans for a federal form of government for the Pritish Isles, a proposal which, under the surface, seems favorable to a ma jority of the Ulster Unionists. Debate on the home rule bill in the House of Peers will be the signal for another attack upon the Government, and will probably see the renewal of A. Bonar Law’s demands that the home rule bill be submitted to a ref erendum of the people before it lsi finally placed upon the statute books. Such an appeal, according to Irish and Liberal leaders and even many Un jonists, will be futile and vain. . . 75 Million Ladybugs .

Chief among her victims is Mrs. Josephine Lawrence, of New York, grandmother of Mrs. Russell Hopkins, whose wedding to Russell Hopkins, of Atlanta, was a society event some time ago. Russell Hopkins is the son of the well-known physician, Dr. J. R. Hop kins. The child of Mr. and Mrs. Rus sell Hopkins was popularly known as the $5,000,000 baby. Mrs. Lawrence admitted to the re porters that Mrs. Wilson had obtained “a considerable sum” of money from her, adding that it was more than “she cared to lose.” Mrs. Wilson, who is described as a little, soft-spoken woman, is alleged to have manufactured /an endless chain of credit through the agency of “securities” in a strong box, which were nothing but bundles of news papers and time tables. The strong box in the vault of the United States Safe Deposit Company in New York, whiech was supposed to contain all of Mrs. Wilson's valuable securities, including first mortgage railroad bonds worth $2,000,000 and jewelry worth $lOO,OOO, was opened. There was nothing inside but this trash. TANGO CARS FOR ELKS. OMAHA, NEBR., April 7.—" Tango” cars will be operated by the Union Pacific on all its special trains to the national convention of Elks at Den ver next summer, o Published Weekly B THE GEORGIAN c&M;,&NV 20 E. Alabama-st., Atlanta, Ga Hobson Gets but Three of Sixty ’ seven Counties—White Wins ~ Short Term Over Rushton. BIRMINGHAM, ALA, April 7.— Oscar W. Underwood won the Sena ;torlal nomination over Richmond P. Hobson in yesterday's Democratic primary by approximately 25,000 ma jority. Official figures are lacking in all the races, and the count Is very slow, owing to the lengthy Dballot. However, enough returns have tome in to indicate that Hobson carried only about ihree of the 67 counties of the State. Both Hobson and Underwood will retire from the House March 4 nexi, Underwood entering the United States Senate and Hobson private life. No more decisive victory has been won in Alabama in years, Frank 8. WW nominated over "Ray ‘Ru#hton, of- Montgomery, ‘as the gshort-term Senator. The nomination for this place is accepted more in the light of a compliment from the people of the State than otherwise, as the victor only serves until~Underwood takes his place. Comer and Kolb in Runoff. } Forme: Governor B. B. Comer,“ luntl-railroad man and prohibitionist, ‘réceived a plurality over his three op ‘ponents for the gubernatorial nomi ‘nation, and indications this morning ‘are that Reuben F. Kolb, local op tionist, will run against him in the ‘second primary May 11 for the nomi- Enauon. though Charles Henderson is running Kolb a close race. Comer's friends confidently expected he would receive a majority vote yesterday, and the fact that he failed to do so was one of the surprises of the returns. The anti-Comer factions of the parly ‘will likely combine against him and it is Goubtful whether he will receive the nomination in the second race. Thomas E Kilby received the nom ination for Lieutenant Governor by ‘an overwhelming majority. Congressional Results, In the Congressional contests the returns received this morning indicate George Washington Taylor, Congress man from the First or Mobile District, has been defeated by O. L. Gray, Wil liam B. Bankhead is the nominee from Hobson's Sixth District over William B. Oliver. Judge E. R. Almon is evi dently the winner in the late Con gressman Richardgon's Huntsville dis trict, and George Huddleston, radical Progressive, is nominated from the Birmingham district to succeed Un derwood in the House. Bride Nearly 4 Times As Large as Hushand MACON, April I~—One of the larg est marriages in the history of Ma con took place last night. The bride, Miss Emma Ford, 25 yea;s'of age, weighs 480 pounds. The bridegroom, Napoleon Norman, a cotton mill em ployee, weighs 140 pounds. The young woman is so sensitive about her size that, although she has lived in Macon practically all of her life, she has seldom been “downtown,” staying il most exclusively at home. The wedding was attended by seve eral hundred persons. GRAVES OF FLEEING GAULS.
