INDIA'S COAL IS HOME RULE, DIWAN STATES Member For Madras Say People' Progret Cannot Be Forced The goal of Indian aspirations Is Dominion home rule within the Em plre. but the experiences of the lust few years have taught the people of India that the pace can not be forced, Diwan Badahur Sir T.

The Diwan represents Madras In the Indian House. Evolution Is preferrable to revolution, he said. Speaking on the religious troi.hle of recent months, tnt Diwan said that It had settled down. India, In this religious dispute, was in a more fortunate position than Ireland, In that the people were of the same race, and bad the same social life and habits. Tolerance had existed between the two great religions of India.

Hinduism and Mohammedanism, for centuries. The recent flare had been caused by political differences. The Diwan was educated In Madras university. His first visit to England waa aa head of the Indian Em pire exhibit at Wembley. He waa knighted by King George at that time.

With much parental pride he show ed a letter from his eon. 3 years old, from Madras, written In beautiful and fluent English, in which tho boy asks many Questions about Can ada, its physical as well asjta pol itical cbaxacter. versy, all Intrigues and. small prides and Jealousies were forgotten.

Nsw Hops for Europs For a little while In that assembly every man and woman present waa aware that this entry of Germany Into the council of nations, sitting on equality with those who were her enemies, pledged to co operation in the work of world peace and received fraternally by those who not long ago were allied against her in a deadly conflict, gives a new hope to the common people of the world, raises a new faith In human progress and holds out a promise of life to Kenerations yet unDorn. If that Is falsified, then all Is lost. Visitors from all the countries of Europe, Including many women, sat In the wooden galleries, above the body of the hall where the delegates took their places a half hour uetore the assembly opened. Hundreds of peo le, unable to obtain seats, stood Oi each side of the presidential tribune. Many people of different nationalities shook hands warmly as though some personal Joy had need of expression.

Streets Crowded Outside, the people of Geneva crowded the streets to see the Gor nran delegation enter for the first time. They were abaent when President Nintchlch took hla chair. Pre ldent Nintchlch rose and spoke In very formal words, announcing that the credentials of the German delegates had been examined and approved. It seemed to be a strange coincidence that this Serbian whose people had been first tn receive the ultimatum of war, should now preside over this ceremony, which calls Germany to co operate In the work of world peace.

The "dragons," great lizards eight feet long and weighing 200 pounds, were captured by Dr. Douglas Burden, a trustee of the American Museum ot Natural History.

The Suu Hans' appearance Is horrid In the extreme. They are as thick; as a man's body and are entirely covered with close protective armor. They have short, stubby legs on which they ars able to run faster than a man. They have red forked tongues and make a hissing noise like escaping steam. One of their peculiarly nasty qualities Is that they are entirely carnivorous.

While the expedition to Komodo sought their capture, one of them leaped on the back of a horsi and so Injured the animal that it bad to be shot. The other demonstrated its prowees by consuming the hindquarters of a deer at a single meal. The "dragons" are the only specimens of their kind In captivity.

GAS POISON OR SUICIDE PACT? JURY TO DECIDE Finding of Bodies in Car Near Blaine Lake is Sequel to Dance ISpeelaJ to The Tribune SASKATOON, Bept. 11 Was carbon monoxide gas from the faulty exhauat ot an automobile tho cause of the deaths ot Miss Cresence Gerlch, aged 21, of Leask, and Gordon Moffat, IS, ot Blaine Lake, found dead In the back seat of a sedan one mils west of Blaine Lake Thursday evening Or was tha tragedy one Involving a suicide pact? Upon the pronouncement of the provincial analyst at Reglna, to whom anatomical specimens Wei's sent following the opening of Dr. Leo Langlols' inquest Thursday, the answer depends. The young people had been at a dance near Marcelln, at the boms ot Morfatt's uncle, Wednesday night, and started for home about J. 15 a.m.

The bodies must have lain In the sedan ell ot Thuraday. It was late in the afternoon that Gertrude Block, a young girl, aaw the machine and, enlisting the company of the schoolmaster, visited the scene. Theories Advanced Both the young people were highly respected in their communities. The machine, a closed one, had no glass In the back window, but it Is thought possible thst the young people, pausing for a rest and a chat, may drawn the robe which was found In the back of the machine over the opening, and sat there In the dark with the engine running and the exhaust pips pouring In its deadly fumes. others doubt this theory.

It Is well known that Moffat had been on friendly terms with Miss Gerlch for necrly a year. He had wanted to marry, but his parents strenuously objected, Moffat was just 18 and too young to think of marrying, they claimed. The back window of the sedan was broken and one of the door glasses was down, and this, it Is argued, shows there was no possibility of death by gas fumes. Air could circulate within the closed sedan car. and it Is unlikely that gas would overcome the pair.
