BRITISH EDUCATION
BILL WITHDRAWN
Premier Campbell Banner
man Takes Measure Out
of the House of Commons
REBUFF FOR CABINET

LONDON, Dec. 20.-The education bill
was buried by Premier Campbell Ban
herman in the House of Commons this
afternoon After a speech of consider
able emphasis, defending the course
OF the lower house in rejecting the
House of Lords amendments as q
whole and repudiating the claim of the
people that they have the right to lee
ture the Commons on the subject, the
Premier answered that the Government
had decided to withdraw the measure.
There Will be no dissolution of Par
Lament as a result of the action Of
the House of Lords In defeating the
Governments education bill. Although
hthe rejection of this, the main Liberal
measure of the session, is the most
serious rebuff Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman's Cabinet has yet suffered
it is not regarded as being sufficiently
grave to- necessitate an appeal to the
country. Whether at the present mo-
ment the Government could success
fully appeal to the nation on the edu-
cation bill is a question on which even
many Liberals are in great doubt.
The only immediate effect of the step
taken by the upper house, therefore,
will be to give an enormous impetus
to the radical agitation in favor Of
curbing the veto powers of the peers
and to the nonconformists a new
gun and ammunition in their fight for
the disestablishment of the Church of
England. There is a widespread i'm
preston that purely secular educa-
ton bill will be introduced during the
next session of Parliament while no
doubt the Cabinet during recess will
consider what means are possible to
prevent the Lords from multiplying pro-
longed labors of the Commons and to
debar their vote of measures passed
twice by the lower house.
1t is the general view of politicians
that the peers by their action have
entered upon constitutional struggle
embracing much more than the edu-
cation bill. The Liberals promise that
there will be no cessation of the fight
until the constitutional issue is settled
as to whether the Liberal. party is to
be forever checkmated by the stand
ing committee of the peers.
King Edward this morning received
the Premier at Buckingham Palace. 1t
is understood that his Majesty wished
to be fully informed regarding the
Cabinets views on the political situa-
ton as affected by the education ques-
ton.

Carload of Loot Found
on the Premises of
Chester F. Wright

Chester F. Wright. wealthy prop
erty owner at 455 Ellis street. who for
merly conducted corset mandatory,
but who. since the fire, has been in
terested In restaurant at the above
number, was arrested yesterday by De-
tectives Ryan and O'Dea on a charge
of receiving $4,000 worth of stolen prop
erty. mostly mechanics tools.
Wright did not take his incarcera-
ton in a meek spirit and when alone
with Captain of Detectives Duke, In the
latter's Office. was about to attack the
officer with his handouts and would
have seriously injured him had not a
detective entered In time to interfere.
While talking to Wright Duke turned
in his swivel chair to take a note at
his desk. exposing his back to the pris-
oner. Wright had raised his arms,
which were manacled. and was about
to deal blow to the captain when a
detective entered the room. Had
Wright struck Duke he might have
knocked him unconscious and have Sc
cured possession of the detectives re-
volver.
For several months the police have
received many. complaints from car
penters, employees of the United Rail-
roads and others that tools had been
stolen from places where they worked.
stores in the hope oIs~ecovering the
tools and capturing ts--,~flieves. Their
success was slight Wien the carload
OF tools in Wright's place was found
the detectives at once decided that they
had discovered the larger part of the
implements stolen during the last sew
eral months.
Wright conducted a restaurant in
the front of the premises and the rear
was a shanty. which contained the
stolen tools. When Detectives Ryan
and O'Dea found the loot they sent for
patrol wagon and arrested Wright.
Both the tools and Wright were taken
to the Bush-street police station, where
he was charged with receiving stolen
goods, the tools being held as evidence.
Wright says he bought the tools from
boys. The police declare that for
months Wright has been buying tools
from thieves who make the stealing
of mechanics implements a speciality
OF their thefts. and that Wright must
have known that the tools had been
stolen.

VATICAN PROTESTS.
TO THE WORLD
Issues Note Against the
Act Of France in Ex-
polling Mgr. Montagnini
CLEMENCEAU SPEAKS

ROME, Dec. 2O.-The Vatican has is
sued a note of protest against the
course of the French Government and
has forwarded it to all the Papal rep
resentatives abroad. including the
apostolic delegates A summary of the
note will be published in the Osserva-
tore Romano tomorrow. The note pro-
tests primarily that the rights of re-
ligion have been outraged by the
French Government in preventing the
head of the church from communicate
ing with the French hierarchy by the
expulsion of Mgr. Montagnfni from
France. who was secretary of the Papal
Nunciature at Paris.
The note does not touch upon the in
volatility of the archives of the
nunciature at Paris, as the authorities
on international law do not agree upon
the duty of a state in the matter of
documents left behind by the represen-
tatives of a foreign power with which
relations have been broken. when the,
interests of this pow er have not been
entrusted to third friendly power.
PARIS, Dec 20.--The Chamber of
Deputies decided today to debate the
new religious law tomorrow. The
postponement was demanded by M.
Pelletan, radical Socialist. in behalf
of the extreme anti-clericals. led today
to an energetic outburst from Premier
Clemenceau, who characterized the de-
mand a maneuver of false friends
desiring the. embarrassment of the
Government by attempting to deal sep
arately with sequestration of property
and regulation of worship. thus caus-
ing delay.
The Premier insisted on rapid So
luton of the question. as the Govern
ment is facing difficult situation ow
ing to. the insufficiency of the present
law The Chamber agreed with the
Premier. 1t was understood in the
Hobbies that M. Clemenceau intends to
make a vigorous speech tomorrow.
The teachers and students of the ia
nous st. Sulphic Seminary here were
expelled today. Among the students
were a number of British subjects and
one American. who read an energetic
protest. He claimed they were there

FORAKER INSISTS
ON INQUIRY
Addresses Senate Regard
ing Discharge of Colored
Troops by the President
ILLEGAL, HE ASSERTS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Immediate-
ly after the Senate convened today
Forakers resolution calling for an In
vestigation by the upper house of the
Presidents discharge of the three ne
gro companies of the Twenty fifth In
fantry was taken up and Foraker adj
dressed the body in its support He
began with the broad declaration that
the President misconceived his consti-
tutional powers when he discharged the
troops, and also misconceived the tes-
timony on which his action was based"
Foraker said that the Presidents
constitutional power was simply to
command the army and navy as COM
mander in chief. while TO Congress the
constitution gave power to raise armies
and to make rules and regulations for
its government.
The regulations prescribed that no
man could be summarily discharged
without a right to be tried. and the
articles of war, he argued, prescribed
infinitely how these trials We're to be
conducted; that all punishments should
be in accordance with the directions of
courts martial. He contended, after
reading at length from the articles of
war, that IL was uncomfortable that the
President was absolutely without re-
straint
The President, he said stated in his
message that these soldiers We're guilty
of mutiny and had been discharged for
that reason. He followed this with
the article of war providing that a
court-martial should direct this punish
ment This was all to guard against
the exercise of an autocratic power.
Congress. to provide against excessive
punishment, had limited the penalties.
Foraker cited cases from the work
of General Davis on military law where
refusal to give testimony was noted
as an offense under the head of dis
order" and was punishable by court
martial.
Taking UP the individual records of
the soldiers, the Senator said the first
man on the list was a sergeant who
had served twenty-six years. Each
record was good and was characterized
as excellent.
why. Mr.. President" declared For
aker with great vehemence, IAN afro
cious crime has been committed if that
man is not guilty. He goes forth
branded as a murderer"
When Senator Foraker concluded his
remarks he received unanimous consent
to modify the resolution so that it d.
rected the Senate committee on mill
tary affairs to investigate the circum-
stances leading UP to the discharge of
the negro troops.
Lodge replied to Foraker's speech,
and Senator Scott remarked that as he
had read the history of the Spanish
American War the Tenth Cavalry (col-
ored) was largely responsible for the
preservation of the Rough Riders. IF
1t had not been for the cavalry we
might not today have the privilege of
having that gallant soldier. that splen-
did President. in the White House.
he said.
The resolution of Foraker went over
without action until after the holiday
recess.
