REPJD|ATE PEERS,
IS LIBERAL CALL
MANIFESTO DEMANDS REsToRA,
TON OF RIGHTS OF HOUSE
OF COMMONS.

London, Dec. 2-The national Ii
beral federation last night issued a
manifesto regarded as party rally
for the elections It says:
eff the action of the peers is not
repudiated swiftly by the people, the
rights and privileges won so dearly
by our forefathers in their great strug-
giles for freedom are all surrendered.
The manifesto declares that the
peers power of veto must be restrict
ed, so that the last word on legisla-
ton and finance will rest with the
house of commons. Otherwise. no
liberal ministry again can assume the
responsibilities of office.
in the fight forced upon u.s." the
manifesto continues, the electors
must decide whether they wish to gov
ern themselves or be governed by
few hundred hereditary peers, who
have thrown the constitution into the
melting pot, in order to shift the bur.
den of taxation from wealth, land and
liquor, to food and the necessaries of
life"

NEGRO PREACHER
BURNED AT STAKE
WHOSE AUTOMOBILE SCARED
HIS MULES.
QUARREL ENsuEs AND MINISTER
or THE GOSPEL OPENS
FIRE.

Cochran, Ga, Dec John Harv-
ard, a negro preacher, who shot ana
fatally wounded W. b. Booth near
here yesterday afternoon, last night
was captured five miles from here
and burned at the stake
More than carload of light wood is
said to have been heaped about the
negro.
Booth wac a business man of Haw-
kinsville and was en- route to Cochran
in an automobile. lie drove up be-
hind Harvard, who was ahead in a
wagon. Harvard charged that Booth =
machine frightened his mules. He
drew pistol after few words and
fired upon Booth, three shots taking
effect. Booth returned the fire, and
II was learned after the negro was
captured that he was slightly wound
ed twice. He was found in a barn
three miles from where the shooting
occurred. Physicians last night said
there is little hope for Booths recov-
cry.
Officers from Hawkinsvf1le in auto.
mobiles carrying bloodaounds went to
the scene of the shooting, but a party
of enraged citizens had tracked the
negro to his Hiding place He was
suffering SO severely from the effects
of his injuries that he could offer
little resistance. He admitted the
shooting and justified his action by
the fact that Booths automobile had
frightened the mules.
Harvard was given an opportunity
to pray and then bound with CHAINS
to the stake. Fuel was piled nigh
above his head and a torch applied
Roaring flames prevented any state
ment he might have made from being
heard.
