ASQU|TH GOES
TO MEET KING
Absence of Edward at Time OF
Crisis Causes Criticism
in England
Membership of New Cabinet
Holds Attention of the
British Popnlace

LONDON, April 6.-Herbert S. As
quith. chancellor of the exchequer, who
has been summoned by King Edward
to Biarritz, crossed by the night boat
from Dover to Calais en- route to that
place TO see the king. whose absence
at a time when It was foreseen that
Sir Henry bell-Bannermans i'll
ness must lead almost inevitably TO
cabinet crisis, provokes criticism of the
that the king would return to London
on Saturday next, but this is very
doubtful
In his letter of resignation to the
king Sir Henry advised his majesty to
summon Asquith. The latter. in point
of fact. has no rival for the leadership
of his party.
His accession to tho premiership will
undoubtedly sooner or later lead TO
sweeping changes in the composition
of the late ministry, but in the un-
precedented circumstances of the Brit
ish premier resigning during an i'm
portant session of parliament 1t is quite
possible that the new premier will con-
tent himself for the present with only
absolutely necessary changes.
Asquith was loudly cheered in the
house of commons today. He spoke in
praise of the retiring premier and his
sentiments were echoed by John Red
mond.
Redmond and other Irish leaders said
this afternoon that they thought there
was no chance for a change in the
Irish secretaryship and that Birrell
would be left in charge until after the
hearing of the Irish university scheme.
Moreley, who naturally had first claim
for choice of portfolios and who was
thought TO have a desire for the
chancellorship of the exchequer. is now
said to have definitely renounced all
claim to that position.
1t seems quite likely that Lewis
Harcourt, who is considered something
OF an American, because of his Ameri-
can mother and wife, will be included
in the new cabinet, and the name of
Winston Churchill also figures in most
of the cabinet lists.
Apart from forecasting the new cabi-
net. the discussion in the house of
commons lobby today turned chiefly
on the possibility of Sir Campbell
Bannermans retirement from the min
isterial coalition. 1t is undisputed that
the ex-premier's tact and popularity
were the moral bond holding together
the influential but somewhat discordant
elements which have been in power up
to this time.

WOMEN OBJECT TO
RED LIGHT TERM
Wage Farmers of the Tender
loin," Subject of Discussion
at Suffrage League
Fear of Belief That Support Is
Sought in Undesirable
District

lively debate resulted at the meet
ing of the equal suffrage league yes
terday afternoon from the announce
ment made by Mrs. Horace Coffin, pres
ident of the organization, that objec-
tions had been raised to the expression
wage earners of the tenderloin, as a
designation for the denizens of the red
light district, concerning whom the
principal discussion of the afternoon
was to have dealt.
Certain phases of the city's moral de-
velopment were to have been considered
in special paper by C. J. Westenberg
entitled The Relation of the State to
the Wage Farmers of the Tenderloin.
and it was the wording of the an
nouncement concerning this paper
which led to the discussion. Weston
berg was unable to appear, and in re-
ferring to the small attendance at the
meeting Mrs. Coffin mentioned the crit
icism which the announcement of his
lecture had called forth and expressed
surprise at the delicacy displayed in
criticising 1t.
Well, I agree that this is not the
right expression to use in such con-
nection," declared Mrs. S. Solomons. a
member OF the league. Il think it Is
an insult to every wage earning girl to
be classed with those women"
AHQT6WS, tA-hSeHl IOT
the mattresses union, sided with Mrs.
Coffin. stating that many wage earning
girls Of other classes were, in point of
fact, no better than the women of the
Barbary coast and that the self-re-
specting girl had nothing to fear from
any confusion which might arise from
the use of such a term. Both she and
Mrs Coffin explained that the women of
the tenderloin were actually wage
earners, and SO the term could not be
misapplied
After the meeting Mrs. Solomon said
that she objected to the interest taken
by the league in enforcing ordinances
and attempting to reclaim fallen
women. The league, she said, had ap-
piled to the women's unions for assist
ance in furtherance of the equal suf-
frage campaign and it would be confus-
ing to have 1t known that the league
was taking an interest In Barbary coast
work, which would make 1t appear that
the support of tenderloin women for
the work of the league was what was
actually desired.
1t was announced at the meeting that
% of the city's clergymen had agreed to
address their congregations Sunday,
May 1, on the equal suffrage topic.
Those who addressed the meeting were
Mrs Sturdivant Peet of Stockton and
Mrs. Alice Park of Palo Alto. The next
meeting will be Monday, April 13.

BARS CALIFORNIA
INSURANCE FIRMS
Nebraska Retaliates for Similar
Action Against It's Own
Companies
Commissioner Wolf Says Act Is
Illegal and Urges Suits by
Damaged Concerns


LINCOLN, Neb.. April 6.--Insurance
Auditor Pierce has barred from the
state of Nebraska all insurance COM
panies organized under the laws OF
the state of California.
This retaliatory measure comes as the
result of the long alteration with COM
missioner Wolf A few days ago Pierce
received word that the Bankers life
of Lincoln would not be admitted to
California. He fairly bristled with
rage
Tomorrow agents for the Pacific Mu-
tual of Los Angeles, the Fireman
Fund and the Home fire and marine
both of San Francisco, will be mott
fed to stop writing business in Ne
braska- These three companies In lSo6
collected an aggregate OF s54,foS IN
Nebraska premiums and they have
fiourishing business here.
Pierce is chagrined over the refusal
of the California officials to accept Ne
braska examinations. When he IN
quired about the possibility of the ad-
mission of the Lincoln company the
other day Wolf laconically replied that
the situation was unchanged. Then
Pierce decided on retribution.
Insurance Commissioner E. Myron
Wolf severely denounced the action of
Insurance Auditor Pierce of Nebraska
yesterday.
The action of the Nebraska commits
sioner was unwarranted by law and
was simply the exercise of power
not given him by the law" he said.
II would think that the local COM
panies would bring legal action against
him or the state for reinstatement. 1t
was purely an act of retaliation, be-
cause two Nebraska companies We're
excluded from California owing to non
compliance with the law of this state.
Those two companies are the Bank
ers' Reserve of Omaha and the Bankers
Life of Lincoln. The Bankers Reserve
company did not make a proper finan-
cial showing and on that count was
barred from business in this state. The
Bankers Life made the legal financial
showing, but failed to qualify in other
respects. Attorney General Webb, to
whom all papers of insurance COM
panies are submitted. advised that the
conditions under which the company
operated through its articles of incor-
poration would prevent 1t from quail
flying here.
out here in February, when the affairs
of the corporation were under discus
sion. He said that he did not sponsor
the threatened action of the Nebraska
commissioner. 1t is patiently step in
retaliation against this state, and, as
l said before, is without warrant of
law"
w. ]. Dutton, president. and Bernard
Faymonville, vice president of the
Flreman's Fund insurance company,
spoke strongly against the action of
the Nebraska commissioner.
Considerable correspondence has
passed between the state insurance
commissioner and the Nebraska official
over the mutual admittance to bush
ness of the companies of the two
states. The action of the Nebraska
official is strongly condemned and legal

Not Recede From Its Previous Rul-
ing.

Washington, July 30.-The report
that the transcontinental railroads
controlled by James ]. Hill, Edward
H. Hartman and the Berwynd syndl-
cate and the Canadian government
have determined to surrender their ex-
port trade to China, Japan, New Aea-
land and Australia on November L, has
created a great deal Of interest at the
offices OF the interstate commerce
commission in this city.
If this is taken, it will merely fulfill
the prediction that has been made by
railroad officials who have resisted the
enforcement of the rule of the commits
sion by which they are obliged to pub
lish portion of their export rate
which goes to the railroads for hauling
shipments to seaports and to give no.
tice of any increase or decrease IN
these rates. The purpose of the trans
continental roads to take this action
has not been brought to the attention
of the commission, which has full pow
er to modify it's rulings in order to
meet the objections Of the carriers
should they care to do so. But as this
matter has been very fully consld-
cred by the commission, 1t is not re-
garded as likely that their rulings IN
this respect will be changed. The rail-
roads have claimed ave. since the RUE
became effective that they could not
comply with it and conduct their ex-
port trade.

MOSQUITO BITES MAY KILL.
Aged Woman's Body Covered BY
Thousands Of Insects.

Menominee, Mich, July 80. ~ Lying
on her bed in delirium, Mrs. John
Smith, 70 years old, for two days has
been fighting a horde of mosquitoes
and flies that she thinks are biting her
to death.
Mrs. Smiths condition is due to an
experience in the Michigan woods and
an actual encounter with the insects
she believes are now tonturing her.
While picking berries near her hus-
bands farm Mrs. Smith lost her way
For three days and nights she wan
dered about and finally fell exhausted
by a pool of water.
Not having a fire to smoke the in
sects away, Mrs. Smith was forced to
slap at them with her apron. This she
did for several hours until she was too
exhausted to keep UP the fight
The mosquitoes and flies then
swarmed upon her. and when the res
cue party arrived at the pool the wom-
an was unconscious and her body Il
mass of Welts where she had been bit
ten.
Her condition is serious, and it IS
not thought that she can survive the
shock and the pain Of the bites.
