JOHN M0RLEY'S WARNING
Adoption of Lansdowne's Amendment
Involved Transfer of Taxing Power.


London, Nov. 30.-Viscount Morley
of Blackburn, secretary of state for
India, better known as John Morley,
was the first speaker when the debate
on the finance bill was resumed in
the house of lords.
Lord Morley said the amendment
proposed by the Marquis Of Lans-
downe, which declared in effect that
the lords were not justified in giving
their assent to the budget until the
question had been 6ubmitted to the
country, involved the transfer Of the
taxing power and the forcing of penal
dissolution. They, the government,
were asked to change representative
supremacy into an oligarchy. The
resolution of the Marquis of Lans'
down, If adopted, would throw out the
whole financial machinery of the year.
If there was one thing that could not
be submitted to plebiscite, declared
Lord Morley, 1t was a budget. The
electors could not pronounce on a
financial scheme. He ridiculed the
idea that the new taxes were revolu.
tionary.
Lord Morley warned the house that
there was no such a provocative Of
the fiercest conflicts as a revision Of
the constitution. The note, he said,
had been sounded for a very angry
and perhaps a prolonged battle.

RAILWAY LEGISLATION
Large Portion Of Message to Be
Devoted to This Subject.

Two Bills Prepared by Attorney Gen.
eral Wickersham In Accordance
With Policy Outlined by the Presi.
dent In His Des Moines Speech,
Provision For Changes In the Inter
state Commerce Act - Conference
With Railroad Men.
Washington. Nov. 30. - An import.
ant conference was held at the White
House to put the finishing touches on
the proposed legislation amending the
interstate commerce act This pro
posed Legislation will be submitted to
congress at its approaching session.
The two bills prepared by Attorney
General Wickersham under the di.
rection of the president in conformity
with the policy outlined by the pres.
ldent in his Des Moines speech were
up for consideration. In addition to
the president and the attorney gen.
eral, the participants in the confer.
ence included Senators Elkins and
Cummins and Franklin K Lane, inter.
state commerce commissioner.
Secretary of War Dickinson, Sec.
retary of Agriculture Wilson and
Frank B. Kellogg, the trust buster
were in the cabinet room at various
times during the conference but did
not participate in it to any great ex.
tent.
The bills under the present plans
will be introduced in congress as soon
after 1t meets as possible. No one
was selected to lead the fight in either
branch of congress, but the president
can find many men to take care OF
the measure, II is believed, when he
wants them.
Some of the presidents callers are
of the opinion that to his mind rail.
road legislation is most important,
and expects to see a large portion 4
the message devoted to that subject.
The bill which will have the admin.
istration's support will provide the
changes IN the interstate commerce
act which Mr.. Taft has spoken Of In
recent addresses and which were re-
viewed by Attorney General Wickers.

TRIAL OF SUGAR employees
IN Criminal Branch of United States
Circuit Court.


New York, Nov. 30. - The trial of
James F. Bendernagel, Oliver Splitter

James l.. Martin of Vermont. So

PENDANTS and by motion to quash
the indictments that when the court
Iose few minutes after o'clock the
fury was not complete.
1t was evident from the line OF
questioning adopted by the defence
In its examination of the jurymen that
no small amount Of Importance is at
tached to the influence on the public
mind of newspaper and magazine ar
ticles and of the published statements
of Henry L. Stmson, special prosecu-
tor for the government. Also the very
fact that the governments interests
are represented by prosecutor other
than the United States district attor-
ney, was emphasized by the defend
ants lawyers.
Judge Martin cleared up this point,
however, when he said that whether
the government was especially anx-
!ous to convict the defendants or not
the court and the jury were not to al
low that fact to make a difference in
the hearing of the case.

CHERRY MINE SEALED
Bodies of 200 Miners Cannot Be Re-
covered For Three Months.

covered For Three Months.
Not since the recovery of the first
bodies from the depths of the fire.
wrecked St. Paul mine at Cherry, ILL.,,
have such scenes been witnessed
as the heart rendng picture at the
sealed mouth CT the mine. Hundreds
of grief-stricken women, with worn
faces and fatherless children clinging
in fear to their dresses, gathered in
groups about the shaft of the mine,
sobbing and moaning Their sacred
dead are lost forever.
The realization of the horrible end
of the great disaster has aroused a
frantic grief. Women fell on their
knees, dragging their children with
them, sobbing out their cries of de-
spair. Many men in Cherry still
cling to the belief that with the seal
ing of the mine living men among the
nearly 200 still missing, have been
doomed TO death.
Mine experts scout the idea and
state that such is an impossibility.
Nothing can be done until the fire
has died out and the extreme danger
of entering the shaft is eliminated"
declared " w. Taylor, superintend'
ent of the mine.
1t was said by mine owners that
the mine would be sealed for at least
three months until the present dan
gerous fire is smothered. Despite
this, 1t was said on good authority that
the mine shaft was to be permanently
sealed and another shaft opened.
