HEAVY BLOW STRUCK FOR
ENGLAND'S LABOR PARTY

that the labor party would issue
the challenge, Down with the
house of lords!" and stampede the
country. which is in a political fer
ment.
The current Is running so strong
ly toward the labor party at pres.
ent that all the leading papers are
discussing the socialist specter"
in despairing tones. Both ex-
Premier Balfour and ex-Premier
Rosebery, in speeches recently,
warned their followers that con.
servatives and liberals would prob.
ably be forced to make common
cause to beat back the rising tide
of socialism, and 1t is fact that
some of the more nervous British
investors are seriously discussing
the most desirable country to
which to transfer their capital In
case the labor party rides into
power and prepares to introduce
its collectrivist program of land
reform and government ownership
of railways, mines. etc.
nc UllilciS ueCiSlOH was Il
sweet morsel for J. Keir Hardie
and other leaders OF the labor par
ty who were snnbbed by King Ed

tons to attend the annual royal
garden party were sent out to all
party leaders except the laborites.
who were Intentionally ignored be-
cause they protested against the
kings visit to the ear of Russia,
IF King Edward lives another
decade he will have the distinction
of being known in history as the
last British monarch" said Victor
Grayson, the young socialist mem
Der. who recently swept Colue val
ley In a by.election. This Is an
industrial nation and we expect to
establish an industrial republic
The king and his class will be fur
nished opportunities to perform
useful work instead of being sup
ported by industrialists."

MARINO STICKS
WITH CHAMPION

Eddie Marine, the Seattle ANA
teur, stood off Abe Attell, cham
pion featherweight of the world
for 10 rounds at Standpoint, Idaho
last night. A crowd of about 1900
people saw the fight. For eight
rounds Attell played with Marino
then went at him viciously to put
him away in the last two. Marine
was knocked to The floor five times
in those two rounds but each time
he came up ready for more. Attell
was given the decision.
In the preliminaries Heinie Rit
ter knocked out Kid Stein in one
and one half minutes. Bullen, OF
Standpoint, defeated Arthur Prague
newsboy association promoter, in
the fourth round.
Marine will gain considerable
reputation by standing off the
champion. Usually Attell wallops
the new fighters out in jigtime tc
discourage them.

John ]. Hayes of the Irish
American club, New York, who
won the great Marathon, was prac-
tically unknown in the betting.
Even few Americans conceded him
a chance. ~
But there was never a moment
from the time little Hayes begun
to prepare for the race that he
did not feel confident of success.
AS to what Hayes ever did in the
running line in America, the read
err is referred to the following let
ter written by Hayes just before
he sailed from New York:
81 have been running four years
and got third in cross-country
championships junior at Travers
island in November, 1905, fifth in
junior national nd fifth in Metro
politan in 1906, and was also Sec
ond in Mohawk and Pastime cross
country races from back marks.
Ran first Marathon in April, 1906,
and ran fifth in 2:55. Won some
handicap races next year and ran
third to Longboat, after being held
up two minutes by a freight train
at South birmingham. four miles
from start, and finished third,
about 80 seconds behind Caffery's
record for the Boston course in
2:30-Longboat broke the record
five minutes, Fowler second. Hold

LONDON, July 30.-Official Bri.
tain is in a panicky condition, The
official count of the vote in the
Miners Federation upon the ques-
ton OF it's half million members
affiliating with the labor party has
just been completed. and shows an
Affirmative majority of $4,000.
Heretofore the miners have act.
ed with the liberal party. and the
vote means that their 13 members
in the house of commons have re.
ceived Instructors from their con.
stituents to rise from the govern
ment seats and cross over to the
opposition benches. All will obey
except, perhaps. Mr.. Thomas Burt
who will be compelled to resign
to make room for successor In
harmony with the miners new
policy.
While the loss of Is seats will
be severely felt by the liberal lead
ers, who have been forced to face
increasing Universities in by-elec-
tions during the past Is months
this latest reverse Is by no means
the greatest Encouragement. The
direct and indirect result of the
miners vote has been carefully
studied and the government is as.
founded to discover that the
miners are power that must be
reckoned with in at least 100 addi
tional constituencies in the united
kingdom.
Thus, by one powerful blow. the
labor party has acquired posi-.
ton which from the standpoint OF
political strategy makes that party
the power behind the throne. The
effect upon the political leaders is
already seen in the second reading
of the old age pension bill in the
house of lords this week, although
Lord Rosebery and other peers
stormed at the ''socialistic ten
dency" of the measure-and then
voted for 1t, because they feared

Special Correspondence to The Press
NEW YORK, July 30.-Is a pretty
girl on the stage ever safe from the
tongue of SANDER?
Isn't she always the target for
suspicion and the coarse comment of
the scandal-loving?
Take, for instance. the case of
poor Bessie Devoe, dancer, come

She Is beautiful as an artists

cious, fun-loving and careless in an
artless, happy way.
Then, along came the Gould d.

were looking for evidence which
would be marketable to either side
