Newcastle, Eng, Oct. 10.-David
Lloyd-George, the chancellor of the ex-

Saturday at the Palace theatre here,
where he gave to an audience of 1000
what he called Il plain talk" on the
subject of the budget.
"We are going to send that bill up
taxes or none" said the chancellor.
He did not know what would lie the
final action to be taken by poor Lord
LansdoWne, with his creaking old ship
and mutinous crew. but if the Lords
tore up the constitution by interfering
with the money bill they would force a
revolution.
1.-THE Lords may decree a revolution,
but the people will direct it if it is be-
gun, and issues will be raised that are
now little dreamed of, the answers to
which will be charged with peril for

Soap q Back Humber

This remark certainly sounds startling
in these days Of cleanliness and hygiene;
but the introduction Of such soap pow
der as Gold Dust has made the SLOW
dissolving cake Of soap back number.
The reason is simple. Soap must dis
solve before it can soften water or re-
move dirt. The cake must be cut up and
dissolved to make soft soap before 1t
is really effective for washing clothes.
The fine grains of Gold Dust, however,
dissolve at once and in dissolving there
is a double reaction in the water; the
Cold Dust dissolves the hard lime, etc,
making the water soft, and in so doing
is instantly dissolved itself Gold Dust

MAXIM To AID MAN
HURT TWO AUTOS
Friends Fear Joseph Fauner, OF
Newark, May Be Cripple
for Life.

If the injuries received by Joseph
Fauner. of 365 Littleton avenue, who
was struck at Lake Hopatcong yester-
day i'm East Drive, when two automo-
biles collided, do not prove fatal, it is
feared he will never be able to leave
his bed. Fauner received internal in
juries and it is thought that his back
bone is broken.
Fauner is a retired restauranteur, 40
years old. He was taken to the cot
tage which he is occupying at the lake
for the summer inc Hudson Maxim,
the famous inventor of explosives, and
Dwight B. Smith, a New York capt.
talist, owners of the two machines
which collided when Fauner was hurt,
have assured his friends that If medical
aid can save him they can be depended
upon to obtain the best to be had.
According to the story told by wit
nesses and the principals themselves,
Fauner was walking along a Drive
yesterday from the Lake Hopatcong
Lackawanna station, when the Maxim
car, in which were seated Mr.. Maxim,
his wife and four friends, who were on
their way to Maxim Park. on the shore
of the lake, sounded warning to the
car ahead, which was occupied by MI.
Smith and his friends. Apparently the
front auto heard and needed the warn
ing, and the chauffeur of the Maxim
car sent his machine forward to pass
on the right of it. At that momen
Fauner was seen a few feet ahead of
the Smith car, and to avoid running
him down. Smith swung his car sharply
to the right. The Maxim car plunged
into it, hurting it over against Fauner,
who was knocked down. The injured
nan vas picked up n hurried to the
cottage where he is staying. DR.. H. H.
Neldon was summoned, but Fauner was
in such pain that he found it difficult
to make an examination of his injuries.
The case was investigated by the po-
lice, but no arrests were made, as both
Maxim and Smith are to be here all
summer and may be reached at any
time.

Husband of Mark Twain's For
mer Secretary Says Girl
Caused All the Trouble.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ralph w. Ash
croft, manager of the Mark Twain
Company. at "a Stone street, in a state
ment made public yesterday, declares
it may be necessary for his wife to sue
Mark Twain, for whom she formerly
was secretary. The suit. he says, will
be a friendly one. His statement Is an
explanation of Mrs. Ashcroft's differ
ences with Mr.. Clemens's daughters.
He blames the authors daughter Clara,
in particular, for the trouble.
THE matter has been settled ami
cably so far as Mark Twain, Mrs. Ash
croft and myself are concerned he
says, and the adjustment will be con-
summated as soon as the proper papers
can be drawn up. although it may be
necessary for Mrs, Ashcroft to com
mence suit against Mark Twain to set
aside the deed transferring the cottage
to him, simply to protect her lega
rights for the time being"
Continuing. he says that both the
daughters were jealous of Miss Lyon
fearing their father would marry her.
THE only person, so far as ! know
who has charged Mrs Ashcroft witt
dishonesty is Clara Clemens. MARI

not" the statement reads.

NUGENT OPINION
TO PASSA|C BOARD
Tells Why City Has Not Made
Payment of Taxes Located
in That County.

In an opinion to the Passaic County
Tax Board, City Counsel James R.
Nugent explains why this city has not
made payment of it's taxes located in
lat county. The opinion was read by
William H. Young, the secretary of the
board, at it's meeting in Paterson yes
terday.
The city counsel cites that a recent
decision of the Court of Errors and
Appeals shows the system of taxing
to be unconstitutional.
AS no action was taken, the board
evidently in the opinion,
which was as follows: 1T has been the
policy of the city of Newark, under the
supplement to the taX act Up, s, 1906, p,
273) to. which you refer, to pay the
taxes levied by other municipalities
uAder the terms of this act, upon prop
erty of the city within such municipali-
ties, where the assessment appears to
have been reasonable and fair. In view,
however. of the recent decision of the
Court of Errors and Appeals, Essex
County Park Commission VS.. town OF
West Orange, ct al, decided June IA
1909, which holds his supplement OF
1906 to be unconstitutional, 1t is very
doubtful whether the city authorities
have the right to pay any taxes levied
Hereunder, ever though disposed to dc
so. The authorities of the city are only
trustees of the moneys raised by taxa
ton n cannot disburse them except
in accordance with Jaw. Where the
court of last resort has decided a tax
to be illegal and unconstitutional, how
a the city pay the tax if, after sucf
decision, an attempt is made to levy
and collect?'
