HOUSE OF COMMONS
PROFOUNDLY AGITATED
DEFEAT OF MINISTRY MAY FORCE
RESIGNATION
Opposition Challenges Government to
Trial Of Strength Next Monday,
When Vote Of censure viii Be
Moved
BY Associated Press.

AoJ <aSbONidleu fTeS8.
LONDON, July 2t.-The house of
commons sat barely half an hour today
and then adjourned until Monday to
await the governments decision regard
ing it's future course of action In view
of the defeat of the ministry last night
on John Redmond's motion.
The house was packed, much excite
ment was visible on all sides and there
was a disposition to view the defeat of
the government more seriously than
had been the case in the early hours
this morning. Immediately after the
house had assembled Sir Henry Camp
bell-Bannerman, the Liberal leader,
moved its adjournment, declaring that
1t would be unseemly to proceed with
business while the government was
considering it's position. Premier Bal
four, however, declined to adjourn the
house until the bill dealing with the diff
ferences of the Scottish United Free
church and the free church had been
passed. This was quickly accomplished,
the house rose and the excited members
swarmed into the lobbies, eagerly dis
cussing the probable decision of the
cabinet, which had been summoned to
meet this afternoon.
The view that the government will
resign, however, is not held in circles
generally well informed, and 1t is re-
iterated that the resignation of the
Balfour ministry is not likely in view
of the almost practical certainty that
the government will be rehabilitated by
it's normal majority on the trial Of
strength, July "a, to which the opposi-
ton formally challenged the majority.
The Unionist members of the house
Of commons are busily signing a
memorial to the premier against either
the resignation of the government or
the dissolution of parliament. In Union
ist centers, such as the Carlton club. it
is confidently asserted that Mr.. Balfour
will stand or fall by the outcome Of
Mondays motion of censure.

ASKS BIDS FOR SUPPLYING
LABOR ON PANAMA CANAL
CHINESE, JAPANESE, ITALIAN
LAeoRERs WANTED
Fifty Thousand Observation-Disclosures
VIII Land Them on Isthmus, and
They VIII Then Make Individual
Contracts With Authorities
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 21.-The first
attempt to secure laborers in large
numbers for work In connection with
the construction of the Panama canal
will be made tomorrow when bids will
be asked by w. Leon Pepperman, act
ing chief officer of the Panama canal
commission, for $4,000 Chinese, Italian
and Japanese laborers.
Those who will compete for furnish
ing the laborers will be required to sub
init bids as to the amount per day for
ality will work, and also bids stating
the amount that the government will be
required to pay to get the laborers to
the isthmus of Panama. In this latter
item will probably be included, in the
case Of the Chinese, the amount to he
advanced to the families of Cinnamon
for their maintenance until they can
remit from their earnings, the amount
of transportation and the necessary
incidental funds to defray the expenses
Of the journey.
1t is not the purpose of the commits
sion to make any contract which wlil
preclude the government from acting
directly and making individual appoint
ments. This precaution is taken TO
avoid any semblance of involuntary
servitude. Under the plan proposed the
contractor will land his laborers on the
isthmus These laborers will then per-
sonally apply for appointment, stating
the amount for which they will work.
On this application appointments will
be made, just as In the case of every
other employe Of the canal commission.
Information in the possession of the
commission indicates that the price
asked for by the laborers will vary from
rs cents to $1.5O day. The contractors
who are successful in their bids Will
figure their profits in their estimates
for getting laborers to the isthmus,
added to which may be individual con-
tracts for boarding the laborers after
their arrival there. They will not be
permitted to be in any way intermed-
iaries between labor and the govern
ment.
The bids will be opened August Is,
and bidders will be given detailed in
formation by the commission regarding
the form in which they are to be made.

T. ]. Hampton, a real estate dealer,
with offices in the Mason opera house
building, is accused of obtaining money
under false pretenses by Mrs. Francis
steinike of 1900 East Fourth street in
statement made by her TO Chief Of
Police Hahmel yesterday
For several weeks the chain gang
has been taking down" q hill on
property owned by Hampton, Mrs.
steinike and the Sisters of Charity
on the corner of Lake Shore avenue
.and West Temple street, Hampton
owning the corner, Mrs. Steinike the
lot adjoining his and the sisters the
other lot. The gravel from this hill Is
being transferred across the street to
the lot which It to be converted into
children's playground No. 2, the work
being done by the chain gang, and the
property owners donating the gravel
for the benefit of having their lots
taken down to the street level.
In Mrs. Steinikes statement to Chief
Hammel she alleges that Hampton
said to her that while the chain gang
was doing the work money would be
needed, small amount from each of
the property owners, or the chain gang
would be taken away.
The woman says she did not under
stand the situation exactly or what
was to become of the money, but that
Hampton assured her that "such
things had to be done that way" and
she gave him $50.
When questioned regarding the
story Mr.. Hampton said last night;
Mrs. Steinike has grossly misrep-
resented me. She may not have under
stood the case but L understood her
to tell me that she had referred the
question to her attorney, Isadore y.
Dockweiler, and he told her to give me
the money.
What did say to her is this: 1
said from my experience with the
chain gang that when they left the
lots we would have to employ grad
ing contractor to clean and fair them
up and cut down the walls. | said
that expected that this would cost
me, for my corner. about $3.50, but
thought on her lot 1t would come tn
only $50 I told J. Wiseman McDon-
aid, the attorney for the Sisters of
Charity, the same thing. Mrs. Stein
ike consulted her attorney and then
gave me a check for $50 with the un-
derstanding that was to have her
lot cleaned UP with my own. I gave
her a receipt for the money and kept
1t for several days until she came and
asked me If 1t would be all right for
her to pay me when the work was done.
I told her certainly, and gave her back
her check. I am totally at loss To
understand the story which 1 under
stand she is circulating with regard
to the subject"

allowed to sell a machine to anyone,
but II the law required the would-be
automobilist to pass an examination
and secure a license before he Is allowed
to run his machine the desired effect
would be produced
Il knew Hancock and on the night
he met his death saw him go by my
home with his family at about 10
o'clock. / live on Thirtieth street, Just
of Main, and that big machine went
by that corner like a puff of wind.
I was standing on the front porch and
at the time remarked to my wife that
Hancock had just passed at fearful
rate Of speed, and this morning when
picked UP the paper saw that he
had been killed and his family injured
within half an hour after passing my
home.
Main Street Speedway
There are others In Los Angeles Just
as careless. They come down Main
street at terrific speed and pay no at
tention to cross streets. Thirtieth
street has become quite a popular
thoroughfare across the city, and there
are large buildings on each corner at
its intersection with Main, so that It
Is impossible for vehicles to be seen
travelling either up or down Main or
across Thirtieth until one is fairly in
the street. This does not seem to deter
these reckless speed manlacs from
dashing down Main street at such
speed as Hancock was travelling when
the fatal accident occurred"
When the speed limit law was passed
by the council several months ago the
Automobile club promised to aid in the
enforcement of the law, and Secretary
Fleming was the host at some quiet
little dinners at which councilmen and
the mayor were guests. When the law
finally came up for passage the speed
limits were made liberal, several miles
an hour faster than previous ordi-
nances had placed them, and the auto
clubtes promised to do all in their
power to induce the motorists to keep
within the bounds of reason when driv-
ing on the city's streets, but still the
reckless driving continues.
Several councilmen expressed them
selves yesterday as favoring the adop-
tion of laws which would really regulate
the driving of automobiles and insure
to the pedestrians and those driving
other vehicles at least some measure of
safety.

ANGELENO UNHURT
BY EXPLOSION
G. L. MAJOR ESCAPES WITH
HIS LIFE
COMMANDER LOUIS TALKS
Local Naval Militia officer Person.
ally Acquainted With Many Of
the Victims Of San Diego
Disaster
COMMANDER LOUIS TALKS

Los Angeles friends and relatives Of
the men aboard the Bennington be-
sieged the newspaper offices yester-
day for information concerning the ex-
plosion and particulars regarding the
list of killed and injured.
Although many of the officers and
crew were known in Los Angeles, but
one man among them, q. L. Major. is
known to reside in this city Major
holds a position as electrician In the
third class and has been in the SER
vice two and one-half years, having
one and one-half years yet to serve.
He was reported among the injured,
but a telegram from him yesterday
to his parents, Mr.. and Mrs. l.. A.
Major of 227 South Workman street
conveyed the information that he was
not injured. He is 21 years old.
Among those who were interested In
securing full particulars regarding the
explosion was Commander r. ]. Louis
of the naval militia and a member OF
the governors staff. He arrived from
San Diego Thursday night, whittier he
had gone with the twenty-eight men
who passed through Los Angeles from
Mare Island Tuesday night, going to
crew of the gunboat, having been
transferred from other ships and
duties.
Commander Louis knew many of
them and accompanied them to San
Diego, spending Wednesday and a
part of Thursday with them. During
his visit he spent several hours aboard
the Bennington in conversation with
the officers and crew.
Knew Officers and Crew
He is deeply affected by the news of
the disaster, as many of those, included
in the list Of dead and injured were
intimate friends of his. He said yes
terday:
IT knew many of the officers and
crew of the Bennington and the news
of the disaster appalls me. I am un-
able to ascertain the names of the
dead and injured and from reports
which have come by telegraph and
private kilograms to myself fear that
many of my friends are among the
lunfortunates.
II knew Capt. Young, Lieut.. Blue
and others of the officers, as well as
many of the crew, and only yesterday
I was aboard the Bennington and
spent several hours renewing acquaint-
ances among the men and recalling
past days. In less than twenty-four
hours the news comes to me of the
terrible explosion and my solicitude
regarding those whom I knew inti-
mately is increased by the lack of
particulars concerning them"
Members of the engineering corps
N Los Angeles were entertained on
board the Bennington last March on a
trip to Magdalena bay a few days
previous to the gunboat's start for
Honolulu. The corps was the guest
of the officers on the trip and the man
ner which they were treated by Capt.
Young and his crew was the occasion
for much praise by the local and San
Diego members of the party.
