BULLETIN.

LONDON, Nov. SO.-The House Of Lords
this evening adopted Lord Lansdowne's
motion to reject the budget oy vote of
$50 to rs. The attendance Of peers was the
largest for many years.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-12-01

LONDON. Nov SO.-This was a day in
the history of the House Of Lords long
to be remembered. The session was given
over to the concluding arguments and
division on the governments budget bill.
and the debate was the most interesting
that has been heard in the upper chamber
in many years.
The peers, whose presence, in view Of
probable division, was urgently requested
by party whips" gathered in force. The
Episcopal benches were filled, a majority
Of the bishops being present to hear their
colleague, the archbishop Of York, who
was the first speaker Of the afternoon.
Several peers who had never taken the
oath Of the chamber, were sworn in in
order that they might vote at the evening
division.
| The archbishop of York said that he
would have to take a position somewhat
different from that of the prlhate and that
if he voted he would vote against Lord
Lansdownes amendment. He Joined with
those, he said, who deplored the introduc-
ti6n of the amendment and he had not
arguments sufficiently strong to prove to
him that the budget was bad enough to
! justify the unprecedented course proposed
| by Lord Lansdowne.
The archbishop said II would be unprece-
for the lords to reject a finance bill
passed by the House of Commons with
such a majority.
The constitutional question was one, the
speaker declared, which would profoundly
stir the people of the country and many
persons would prefer the passing of a bad
budget to tampering with the fundamental
principle of the constitution. 1t was
enough he said. to prove that the midget
was bad.
Cabinet Discusses Speech.
The cabinet met at noon today for
the purpose of discussing the form of
! the kings speech proroguing Parlia-
ment. All of the members with the
exception of Sir Edward Grey, secretary
Of state for foreign affairs, were present.
A crowd filled the street and mildly cheered
the ministers as they entered the building.
While the government has not announced
whether 1t proposes an adjournment or the
prorogation of Parliament, today's reports
are that the latter course is certain. 1t is
believed Premier Asquith will see King
Edward tomorrow, Both chambers will
hold short sessions Friday for the reading
of the kings speech.
The cabinet remained in session until .
o'clock Meanwhile the crowd waited out
side, cheering the ministers and at the
same time hoping for a suffragette out
break, which, however, failed to material
ize. The House of Lords convened at

LUMBER SCHOONER
GROUNDED IN FOG
PASSENGERS AND CREW ARE
SAVED IN BOATS
Valuable Steam Vessel Runs on Wash
Rock, Off Point Arena, and
Her Bottom Is Ripped
off

POINT ARENA, Cal, July 31.-The
steam schooner Winnebago, bound from
Everett, Wash, to San Francisco, went
ashore early today off the Mendocino
coast and will prove total loss. Capt.
William Treanor, his wife and four
children and the twenty-three mem
bers of the crew reached shore un-
harmed in the schooner's two boats.
The Winnebago, laden with over
100000 feet of lumber, was cropping
her way through a dense fog at 2;S0
o'clock this morning when she struck.
The vessel Immediately began to settle
at the stern, and orders were given to
clear away the boats. The captain and
his family succeeded in saving their
more valuable effects and the twenty
eight persons on board were divided
between the two small boats.
Within a few moments the schooner
went down by the stern, settling until
only her bow appeared above the wa
ter Her deckload of lumber was
washed away as she went down. 1t Is
believed that the vessel grounded In
such manner as to tear out her bottom.
The two boats effected landing
without difficulty near the Point Arena
lighthouse, less than half mile dis
tant When daylight came 1t was seen
the Winnebago had gone ashore on
Wash rock, scarcely a quarter of
mile from shore.
The Winnebago was a schooner OF
1891 tons, built in 1908 at st. Clair,
Mich. She was owned by the Coast
Shipping company of San Francisco,
and was valued at $140,J

EXPERIMENTS WITH
'OZONATED' WATAR
UNCONSCIOUS CONSUMERS
ARE SUBJECTS
Water Bureau Sends Supply That Has
Been Oxidized and Watches Ven-
ture to Determine Value
of Discovery

PHILADELPHIA, July 31.-Between
10000 and $4,000 people living in a
square mile of territory in the north
western part Of this city will learn
today that for two months they have
been used by the city somewhat as
the poison squad" was used by DR..
Wiley in his famous experiments.
1t was announced last night by
Chief Dunlap of the bureau of water
that for the last sixty days all water
furnished to that section of the city
has been "ozonated" by a secret chem
ical process developed by the city's
experts, and that the proof of it's vir-
tue is found in the fact that there has
not been a case of typhoid fever in
that section since the experiment was
begun.
Chief Dunlap believes the new
process. which he will not describe,
but over which he and the other en-
gineers of the water department are
jubilant, will have a tremendous ef-
feet upon the filtration problem every
where.
A shed has been erected at the in
take of the Queenlane reservoir and
all the water that Is pumped from the
river to the reservoir is ozonated, or
oxidized, by chemical process as 1t
passes through the shed. By oxidiza-
ton all the animal or vegetable life
Is destroyed in the water and 1t goes
into the reservoir free from harmful
impurities.

NOW THE DEVILS FREE
HE SHUNS PUBLIC EYE
Tasmanlan Tartar Won't Bulge TIL
He Thinks Dtmars Wants
Him There

NEW YORK, July 31.--In transfer
ring to park cages the 80 live treasures
he had brought from Europe on the
Minnehaha for the Bronx Geological
garden, Curator Raymond L. Ditmars,
a man of experience, left the worst of
the lot, the Tasmanian devil, to the
last. If he had reversed the order many
of the cages might still be unopened,
for, being as crafty as his princely
namesake, the devil would probably
have settled down to days job of It.
When he saw that all his shipmates
were out of their crates and that he
could not delay their transfer by OBJ
stinacy he waited only two hours to
shift himself
This illustrates the disposition of the
newcomer. He is always agin the gov
ernment. He chafed under restraint
all the way across the ocean. The first
morning out he worked a section of the
heavy iron mesh facing of the cage
into a roll that he could seize and then
with one snay of the jaws bit out a
piece big enough to get his nose
through. Had he not been caught in
the act he might have caused a panic
that morning, for he fears no foe, and
when hungry all flesh is mutton to him.
Mr.. Ditmars pinioned him within steel
SQedlIluS anu SlCCi iiAOSll ACA 'iiS ~
mainder of the trip.
Having fought to get out when it was
important that he stay in, he disdained
the open door of the cage yesterday and
made known by his actions that he was
ready to meet at catch weights any and
all comers who dared try to put him
out. Mr.. Ditmars decided to let him
fight that issue by himself. After a
couple of hours it dawned on the devil
that nobody cared what he did. AS he
stepped out for a survey of his new
home Mr.. Ditmars tiptoed along, and
with an iron bar he slammed shut the
cage door. The oevil spent the rest of
the day outdoors, except when he
thought it pleased somebody to see him
there. A photographer came along
when the devil was summing himself,
and he straightway moved off to a cor
ner where the light was bad.
The devil looks like a wild hog that
has been telescoped, losing his neck In
the process. In his habitat he lives IN
burrows from which he energies only
at night. Then he goes foraging for
something alive, for he Is no vegetarian.
One snap of his jaws will crush the
backbone of any animal that his appe-
tite fancies.
The monitor lizard which gave Mr.
Ditmars and five keepers the time of
their lives in uncaging it Tuesday
night, backed yesterday in a wire cage
by itself. 1t took for dinner dozen
eggs without breaking them, it's stom-
ach performing that office automatic
ally as the digestive process advances.
The keepers have named the lizard
Octopus, because they believe crea-
ture of such eXtravagant table habits
ought to be fed by trust rather than
hv ordinary taxpayers.

Still Unidentified

SANTA ANA, July S1.-No light has
yet been thrown on the identity of the
man at the county hospital who was
found wandering about the streets
week ago and at first taken to the city
iail as Vagrant. The man today
seems stronger physically than at any
time since he was placed under re-
straint, and while he cannot remember
his name nor where he was born nor
where he came from last, he converses
nationally and seems to take an inter-
est in what Is passing around him.
A Los Angeles man named Craig,
who saw mention made in the Los
Angeles Herald of the mans condition,
came here today in the hope of finding
a friend who has been missing for some
time but while the printed description
tailed with that of the man he wanted,
he saws it is not the same man.

Coaches Crushed by Impact
The wreck occurred at Coldwell,
Idaho, twenty-five miles east OF
| Spokane.
Train No. 20, westbound, had left
Coeur dAlene, Idaho, for Spokane at
ABS p. m. and had just reached Cold
well when 1t met train No. s, east
| bound.
Both trains were running about fif-
teen miles an hour, and they crashed
together without q moments warning.
The heavy passenger coaches were
crushed. Men and women were thrown
| from their seats, some being hurled TO
the top of the coaches, while others
were sent flying through the windows.
Several of the coaches left the track,
and passengers were caught under the
pile of broken timbers.
Uninjured passengers at once hur-
ried to telephones to call aid. The peo-
pie of Coldwell and Occur dAlene
made emergency hospitals of their
homes, and the wounded were carried
there by the uninjured.
A special train of physicians hurried
from Spokane. Others set out from
Occur d'Alene and other places. The
Couer d'Alene hospital is now filled
with the injured.
