BLOW TO BRITISH BUDGET
Unionist Candidate Elected to Parlia.
ment from London District.
sUFFRAGETTEs ARE VIOLENT
Attempt Made to Destroy Ballots
with sulphuric Acid-EIection
Officials Are Badly In
jured.

LONDON, Oct. 29.-The bye-election to-
day in Bermondsey division Of Southwark,
a Parliamentary borough Of London which
was characterized by the most militant
attack the ~suffragettes have yet ventured
to make in their struggle for 'votes for
women" resulted in a sweeping victory for
the unionists. John humphreys, u~nlonist,
won the three-cornered fight with a plural
ity Of $751; overcoming the liberal majority
of 1,759 mG1906. The vote was as follows:
humphreys. 4,27s; S. L. Hughes, liberal.
1921; Or. A. Salter, socialist. 1.4S5.
The unionlst victory is considered a see
we're blow to the supporters OF the budget,
as all along this election was expected to
afford a good test of the feeling in London
and the country generally on the intpend-
ing struggle in Parliament. Bermondsey
has been a doubtful constituency for years,
sometimes returning a liberal candidate and
sometimes a unionist, but three years ago
the election resulted IN a liberal landslide.
For the last few weeks a strong fight has
been waged in this constituency by the
representatives of the three parties, but it
finally resolved itself into a question of the
budget against the tariff reform, and what
ever the outcome might be it was looked
upon as forecasting the result OF a general
election should that be held.
The militant suffragettes were early on
the scene and after adopting numerous
expedients to hsrass the election officers
and those most closely Identified with the
election, Mrs. Chaplin, one of the best
known OF the organization, slipped into
one Of the booths and smashed a bottle
containing a corrosive acid upon a ballot
box, with the evident Intention of running
the ballots, a large number of which had
already been" deposited. The acid spattered
over the officials and the broken glass
cut their hands ana faces. but the ballots
were practically undamaged. Later In the
day another suffragette made a similar
attack on a ballot box, but with no more
success than Mrs. Chaplin. Both women
were placed under arrest.
The whole conservative press claims that
the result Of the Bermondsey election is
the death-kneIl Of the budget, because
Bermondsey Is a typical working class con-
stituency and, although humphreys failed
to secure a majority over the combined
votes Of his two opponents. who are both
In favor of the budget, the conservatives
are convinced that the election proves
there will be no landslide for the budget.
According to the most reliable informa-
tion the leaders OF the conservative party
have definitely decided that the lords will
reject the budget.

MORE LIGHTS FOR THE CITY
Royalty from Lighting Company
Provides the Means.
DIVIDED AMONG THE WARDS
COunciImen Plan Another Year 60 Use
the Fund to Decrease the Tax
Levy Instead Of Installing
More Lights.

With the royalty received this year from
the Citizens Gas and Electric company the
city will be enabled to install seventy-two
additional street lights. AT a meeting OF
the city council yesterday afternoon the
matter Of the distribution Of these extra
lights was discussed and it was decided to
allow each councilman eleven for his par
ticular ward, to be placed as he might
deem best. The mayor is to rave the To-
eating Of the remaining six.
The cost Of these additional lights will
absorb the amount Of the royalty recently
paid by the light company. The royalty
for last year amounts 10 what would be
secured by the levy of a 1-mill tax and at
the meeting yesterday several Of the coun-
cllmen expressed themselves as being in
favor Of not making any further. extensions
after this year until new lights should be
more badly needed. Instead they suggested
that the royalty be turned into the lighting
fund and the levy for this department re-
duced accordingly.
city taxes are already at that point
where they have become buTdensome, q"
said Councilman Rigdon. land II we can
lop off mill from the lighting tax, 1 be-
believe, have sufficient lights for all
enty-two new street lights, the city will, 1
believe. have sufficient lights for all
present needs. OF course II the city grows
and more lights should be needed then we
can utilize the royalty received from the
company in installing more, but after we
locate these seventy-twO new lights we
ought to rest awhile and do our best to de-
crease the annual tax levy as much as pos
sible."
The council may find, however, some OBJ
stacle In carrying out the proposition to
turn the royalty from the Citizens Gas and
Electric company into the lighting fund. At
the time the present contract with the
company was entered into, including the
provision for the payment Of the royalty.
there was an understanding, It is stated,
tina the royalty should be used in ex-
tending the street lighting system.
The council approved Of the assessment
OF the cost Of the recently constructed
sewers on Cook avenue, Damon street,
Logan street and North Second street. 1t
decided that ali OF the abutting property
Is able to stand the full assessment and
consequently there will be no deficiency
to be borne by the city out of the general
Improvement fund.
The council adjourned to next Monday
evening which is the regular monthly meet
ing night.
