ASOUITH REFUSES TO
GIVE WAY TO LORDS
British Liberals Commended for Good
Work and Diplomat Is Not Dis
couraged by Veto of the
sponslbles"

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE government s
determination that there shall be no
immediate dissolution of parliament
but that the ministers will meet par
lament for the discussion of an impor-
tant program, of which the budget Will
be a leading feature, was announced by
Premier Asquith at a banquet given to
him at the National Liberal club to-
night by 200 members of his party.
The occasion had been anticipated
with great interest as affording Mr.
Asouith an opportunity to explain his
policy in the face of the rejection by
the house of lords of several Liberal
bills.
After the excellent work the Liberals
already had accomplished Premier AS
quith invited the party to treat the
veto of the house of lords as the doml-
mating issue in politics, but he declined
to dissolve parliament, he declared, at
the dictation and caprice OF the upper
chamber.
To admit such claim on the part or
an irresponsible chamber" the premier
said, would be UNNECESSARILY absurd
and render the Liberal government sub
iect to "a series of general elections
The government would therefore
choose its own time for dissolution"
With regard to the next session OF
parliament Mr.. Asduith said it would
raise again in it's most acute form the
great controversy of free trade versus
prOt ectiOn.

Sheriff of Riverside County Gives
Office Holders Until December
Fl to File New
Papers

RIVERSIDE, Dec. Reconsideration
was created at the court house today
by the appearance of Sheriff Wilson in
every office with a notice from Judge
Densnore to the effect that all officials
must procure new corporate bonds.
The Metropolitan Surety company or
New York bonded all the county Off
GERS of this county two years ago, the
bonds to remain in force for four years.
The bonding company is said TO be in
financial straits and has been forbid
den by the insurance superintendent of
New York to do any more business
until it brings it's capital up to require
ments. Coincident with this action the
superintendent of insurance in this
state issued wire orders to County
Clerk Pilch for new bonds. Judge
Densrnore then ordered the sheriff to
notify officials to procure new bonds
before December 81.
The officers have been practically
without security for several days.
Judge Densmore and Court Recorder
Pelton are the only officers not af-
fected, as they are not compelled to
give bond.

continued until Appleford could cor
roborate his testimony.

\, a special meeting of the St.
Vincents college student body yester-
day Rev. A. A. Malloy, chairman of
the st. Vincent's athletic board, made
several important announcements.
j. V. Carroll, who managed the var
sity football team through the past
season, resigned the position of base
ball manager at a recent meeting of
the board. AS the reason for his action
Carroll says that on account of the
great amount of work necessitated by
the position of manager he was not
able to give sufficient time to his
studies. In recognition of Carroll s
valuable services to the school during
the football season the athletic board
presented him with an enlarged pic
ture of the football eleven that he so
successfully piloted through a siren
George Stoney fl, was appointed to

SUPERVISORS CONFER OVER
GUARDIANSHIP QUESTION
HoIdovers and Newly Elected Men,

Reach No Conclusion in
the Matter

Two holdover members of the board
of supervisors, Manning and Eldridge.
and the three men elected recently to
take office on the board January l..
Messrs. Pridham, McCabe and Nellis,
held a meeting in the stock room, adj
joining the board room, yesterday fore

No decision was reached and another
secret meeting will be held today
Manning, Eldridge, McCabe and Prid-
ham are vowed candidates for the
place to be vacated by Chairman Pat
terson, but when the meeting adj
journed yesterday it is believed this
number was lessened by one, as 1t is
understood the chances of Supervisor
S. T. Eldridge are slim. If this view
is correct the chances for G. D. Man

HANGED because of his splendid record
