LONDON, May 6.--The discussion in
the House of Lords today was devoted
to Lord Newton's bill proposing a re-
construction Of the House Of Lords
partly on an elective basis. He seeks
to remove the excessive preponderance
Of hereditary peers by stipulating
qualifications through service to state
or previous election. He provides for
a certain number Of elective peers and
for q nomination by the crown Of life
peers, these not TO exceed 100 In NUM-
ber. The house and galleries were
thronged. showing the interest aroused
by the conservative proposal to an
ticipate government action, and the
possibility of the debate provoking a
statement Of the intentions Of the gov-
ernment.
This however, did not come to pass,
the Earl of Crewa, Lord President of
the Council, speaking on behalf Of the
government, declining to have any
thing to have anything to do with Lord
Newton's proposal. He gave no hint
Of the governments plans, although
his cryptic utterances conveyed the
idea that the government contemplated
somewhat drastic measure.

tradicted by DR.. Guttierez, the special

and careful inquiry was made with
the result that the Official announce

part Of May turns out to be correct.
The incident has caused both indigna-

that the court physicians wno issued a

April were In error. They instance the
fact that no fewer than 20 bishops
have arrived at Madrid within the last

HAYWOOD APPEARED IN COURT
Prisoner Guarded by Two Deputies
Listened To Arguments OF Attorneys
Defense Claim They Are Entitled
To a More Specific Showing.

BOISE, May G.---Judge Wood will
Wednesday decide il on the eve OF his
trial William Haywood Is entitled Il
receive at the hands Of the state bill
Of particulars specifying the overt acts
charged against him. The motioa Of
the defense for tails disclosure was
argued today and at the time stated
the court announced that he would
make decision at the time stated The
prisoner. under u guard OF Sheriff
Hodgin and two deputies was brought
Into court for argument and Of his
counsel both Frank Richardson ami
Clarence 8. Darrow pleaded In his be-
half. Senator Borah alone spoke In
behalf OF the atate. The argument, al
ways earnest, was characterized at
times by great feeling and dramatic in
tensity. Richardson, who opened the
argument contended that the indict-
ment was lacking In particuiarity: that
Il left the defendants In the dark as
TO the nature Of the case to be pre-.
sented against them and the defend
ants were entitled to a more specific
showing Of the case He submitted an
extended brief citing q great number
OF authorities and precedents In favor
OF his contention. sBorah In reply de-
clared the defense was seeking a dis
closure OF the proof in the hands OF
the state rather than more perfect
pleadings and asserted the reports
contained no single authority that
would support their contention.
Darrow, who closed the argument,
began by saying II was the purpose OF
the defense TO secure disclosure OF
the evidence In the hands or the prose-
cution, He made spirit attack on
the attitude OF the prosecution regard
Ing Its witnesses and evidence, descrlb-
Ing II as mysterious, unfair and unjust.
He asserted the only question involved
was one Of fairness and justice to the
accused. he laid stress upon the dlffi-
Guilty Of securing testimony from dist
ant points and the danger to defense
Of surprise testimony and impas-
sionedly asserted the rights OF the
prisoners Were as muca In the hands
Of the prosecution as In the keeping OF
the defense.
IN answer to Judge Wood, Darrow
said the defense was not ready to 70 to
trial, but Richardson Interrupted him
to make a qualification that 1t was as
ready as could be In circumstances
where the case OF the state was with
held from 1t. He said In all other re-
spects, the defense was ready, Rich
ardson responding In brief to the argu-
ment of Borah said the counsel for the
state made no distinction betwAen
overt acts which the state would seek
to show against the prisoners and the
evidence by which 1t would show the
commission of the alleged overt acts,
The defense wished to know what overt
acts were.
Borah closed the discussion with
spirited speech in which he defended
the secrecy in securing witnesses, in-l
