COMPROMISE IS NOT POSSIBLE

By Associated Press
London, July 23.—The absence of
the hitherto prompt announcement
that the "conversations would bo re
sumed to-morrow" at the adjournment
of to-day's home rule conference at
Buckingham Palace was generally ac
cepted as an indication that there ef
forts to find a Solution had failed.
The extreme pessimism and their
anticipation of a definite break up of
the conference were not justified, how
ever, as later in the day an official
announcement was made that the con
ferees would continue their discus
sions to-morrow. The delay had
caused a great deal of misgiving.
The meeting was a little more pro
tracted than the previous ones. It
was attended by Premier Asquith and
Chancellor of the Exchequer David
Lloyd George, representing the gov
ernment; Andrew Boar Law and the
Marquis of Lansdowne, of the regular
conservation opposition; John E. Red
mond and John Dillon of the Irish
Nationalists, and Sir Edward Carson
and Captain James Craig, of the Ulster
Unionists.
The cruicial question of the area to
be excluded from the control of the
parliament in Dublin under the Irish
home rule measure was the chief sub
ject of discussion, it is supposed that
it was found impossible by the con
ferees to attain an acceptable compro
mise on this matter without further
consideration.
After the adjournment Premier As
quith was in audience for ten minutes
with King George.
John Redmond and John Dillon
drove direct from the Palace to Down
ing Street where they lunched with
Lloyd George.

PENBROOK STREETS
WILL BE Lin
WITH ELECTRICITY
Borough Council Decides to Re
place Gas by More Modern
System
By September 20, 1914. the streets
of Penbrook will be lighted by elec
tricity supplied from Tlarrisburg.
For weeks the citizens of the city's
nearest thriving borough to the east
have been figuring upon a plan to ob
tain better lighting facilities and at
the meeting of the borough council
last evening the agreement with the
Harrisburg Light and Power Company
to light the town was approved.
The contract provides for twenty
eight lights of 100 candlepower each,
the entire system to be similar to the
new lamps installed a few weeks ago
in the streets of Dauphin. Penbrook
by adopting this scheme incidentally
will be one more small town in this
section to take over the proposed
notion-wide interurban lighting plan.
The brand-new electric lighting sys
tem that is proposed for Penbrook will
replace the old style gas lamps that
huvo lighted the borough's streets
more or less for years.
Current for Penbrook lighting will
be. supplied by the electric light com
pany from this city in much the same
way that was followed for the lighting
of Dauphin's streets—by big cables]
carried overland.
The lights will not be placed on
single standards, but will be swung
from posts by specially constructed or
namental brackets arranged on hinges
in such way as to permit them to be
lowered for repairs or cleaning and
raised again without removing the
lamps.
Materials have already been ordered
and the work will be started at once
so that the job can be finished by Sep
tember 20, the time stipulated in the
contract.

Bryan and Daniels Discuss Plans
For Movement of Marines
Into Haiti
By Associated Press
Washington, p. c., July 23.—Possi
bility of Intervention In Haiti and San
Domingo to restore peace continued
to-day to be an absorbing topic of dis
cussion in Administration circles. Late
official dispatches regarding the situa
tion in the revolutionary torn republic
gave but little hope that the contin
gent elements In the two countries
would be able to restore order.
Under European pressure, the
American government's patience prac
tically has been exhausted with the
various elements in Haiti and San
Domingo and was to demand a re
storation of peace or threaten armed
intervention. The gravity of the situ
ation was increased by refusal of the
warring factions in Haiti to cease
fighting, despite the American gov
ernment's warnings, and failure to
settle the Dominican revolution by di
plomacy.
The question of a possible move
ment of marines into Haiti was up
for discussion at to-day's conference
between Secretaries Bryan and Daniels.
Advices from Cape Haiten of further
fighting with Increased danger to for
eigners were believed to forecast
prompt action by marines now being
concentrated at Ouantanamo. With
the 400 marines who are to sail from
Norfolk, Va., for Guantanamo Satur
day, the number of marines now there
or on American warships In Haitlen
and Dominican waters would be in
creased to more than 900. If neces
sary, reinforcements could be drawn
from the nearly 4,000 marines now In
Vera Cruz and Mexican Gulf waters.
