BUDGETS SRfJ[CTION
Plan OF LORDS
Members of Commons Declare
Long Delayed Campaign
Against Peers

LONDON. Nov. 22.-'It is my opinion
that it is impossible that any liberal
government can ever again bear the
heavy burden of office unless it is Sc
cured against a repetition of treat
ment such as other measures have had
to undergo for the last four years"
This sensational declaration by Lord
Loreburn, lord high chancellor. in the
debate on the budget in the house OF
lords today, had an electrical effect
upon the liberal members of the house
OF commons who crowded the galleries.
Quitting the galleries they surged
into the lobbies under the conviction
that they had heard the government
last word before the general electlon'
that Premier Asquith will make a SINH
lar declaration in the house of COM
mons next week, and that the long
oelayed campaign against the lords mas
now begun in earnest
1t was held that Lord Loreburn's 8
statement would only mean that no
ilberal leader henceforth Will accept
office unless he receives a pledge from
the crown that enough peers will be
appointed on the premier's nomination
TO secure the house of commons against
interference from the house of lords
in financial matters
SPEAKS AGAIST BILL
After the earl of Crewe, Lord Privy
Seal had formally moved the second
reading of the budget bill. without
comment. Lord Lansdowne. leader of
the opposition, Immediately moved its
rejection He quoted precedents to
show that, although the house Of lords
could not amend a finance bill, 1t had
full right to discuss it and to throw it
out II 1t so willed. Besides the present
bill. he argued, had tackled to it legis-
lation such as land taxation and In
creased license duties which the lords
already had rejected, and which had
been placed In the bill to oust the lords
from their legitimate opportunity Of
dealing with the measures.
What. he asked, was to prevent home
rule from being introduced in the
finance bill? There was no limit to
such abuses. The unionists opposed
licepse duties because they were
crushing In their severity; the same
applied to the land taxes
The people he said, not having been
consulted. the peers had clear duty
not to decree the final extinction of the
bill, but 70 insist that before 1t becomes
law the country should be allowed an
expression OF opinion The lords had
the rejection of the bill and were ready
TO face them.
MEASURE Is UPHELD
Lord Loreburn replied, contending
that there was nothing in the bill for
eign to finance. with which the house
of commons had the exclusive right to
deal.
The attempt of the lords to interfere,
he declared, was the beginning of a Sys-
tenn that would lead to constitutional
revolution. What was embodied In the
bill was not new, either in the United
States or Germany. and had been ap
proved. not only by the present, but by
the late house of commons.
After the lord high chancellor many
peers addressed the house, but interest
waned. The duke of Norfolk, who sup
ported Lord Lansdownes resolution.
confessed that the lords had a serious
problem to face, but that 1t should not
daunt them in performing their duty.

STANDARD OIL TO
EVADF DECISION
Gigantic Corporation Will Be
Formed to Buy Subsidiary
Companies
Especial Dispatches 10 The Call

NEW YORK, Nov. 22.-As result of
the decision of the circuit court at st.
Louis, dissolying the Standard oil COM
pany OF New Jersey, the trust will form
a new company which will be the
greatest, richest, most powerful and
best organized corporation in the
world
The Standard oil company Will carry
the case to the highest court and fight
every step of the way 1t viii seek to
have the Sherman antitrust law re-
pealed or amended. But If the United
States supreme court sustains the re-
cent decision it Will be necessary for
the trust to have ready some organ
izat tion to take over the properties it
now controls. Work on general plan
of reorganization was begun by law
yers months ago, when it appeared that
Trust Buster" Kellogg was likely to
win his case.
According to well informed men in
the financial district this plan does not
contemplate the formation of another
holding company or combination. What
the Standard oil interests have planned,
it is said. is gigantic corporation to
buy outright the physical property of
the subsidiary companies. This one
corporation. if formed, would have a
capitalization of nearly $3.50, 900.
John D. Archbold, testifyingN in the suit
to dissolve the trust. gave figures
showing that the total capitalization OF
all the companies owned and controlled
by the standard was $32S 301 495 OF
this amount nearly one-third, or

Decision Does Dissolve Trust
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Nov. 22.-
Frank b. Kellogg, special assistant at
torney general for the government In
charge of the Standard oil case, de-
clared emphatically this morning that
the decree handed down by the circuit
court of appeals Saturday, does, in its
effect, dissolve the Standard oil COM
pany as such. This means that If the
decree is sustained by the supreme
court, an appeal to which must be filed
within 80 days, the Standard oil trust
will go absolutely out of existence un-
less some ingenious plan for evading
the, letter of the decree is constructed
by those who are paid princely salaries
for legal advice.
Kellogg's statement came as a reply
to the statement of Mortimer f. Elliott,
general counsel for the Standard oil
company, who said in New York:
THE decree does not order the dis
solution of the Standard oil company.
That is misunderstood; what the de-
cree orders is that the company shall
distribute among its stock holders it's
holdings in the stock of subsidiary
companies
When kellogg read this statement
he replied sharply: The decree does
not order any such thing. Mr.. Elliott
had evidently not carefully read the
decree if he made that statement The
decree enjoins the Standard oil COM
pany from continuing a combination
control of its subsidiary companies.
and it's effect is that it does dissolve
the Standard oil company"
Finally and completely
Yes, finally and completely The
language of the decree is too plain to
be misunderstood

the business life of New York. Montana
and California 1t was a romance that
bloomed only during the honeymoon.
for at the end of weeks time it had
faded completely. Now the end has

Underwood alleges in his complaint,
which was secretly filed three months
ago in the superior court of Los An
geles county, that his wife is still the
wife of H NJ. Klair of New York and
that she has never applied for or re-
ceived a legal separation from Klair.
Mrs. Underwood has been married three
times The first marriage was to Peck
Eppinger. the second to II. NJ. Klair and
the third TO Underwood.
According to Underwood. his wife
admitted that she never received a
divorce from Klair. She has made a
most determined fight against Under
woods suit, seeking TO delay the case
as much as possible. Mrs. Underwood
was in Los Angeles recently, living at
the Lankershim hotel there from No
vember to November 16. and it is as
serted that while there she attempted
to effect a reconciliation. which Under

AT THE AUDITORIUM
A We'll Balanced Mind.

Tn the nature of human things there are many sides The serene, the sublime, the ridiculous. and a mind that leans toward any of these to an abnormal degree is not well balanced, as too much sadness brings on chronic Imelancholia, while too much jollity makes sacred things appear to the too joyous mind in a light that is incon. grous to the real truth of religion. A mind well balanced enjoys picture of life that portrays all sides of hu. ma mature in it's variations as they occur in our daily lives.
 That truth is stranger than fiction is not true, to the author who under. stands humanity, there is no fiction. because he writes of human nature as he sees it though the incidents may be drawn from his imagination, the emotion portrayed though the incl. dents are plain truths. Such is Sarah Mernhardt's play, "A Woman of Mys. tery, which Miss Courtenay Morgan will play This play does not only portray the sad incidents but gives a real picture of humanity going from the sublime to the gayer things in life At the Auditorium Theater on Saturday.

 Circumstances seem to justify the announcement of the wedding in this city Thursday evening of Dr. O. w. Huff, a prominent dentist, and Miss Eglantine Feuilette, who is identified with one of the prominent millinery houses of the city
 The affair had evidently been plan. ned as secret, but through hook or crook leaked out, and even with the tip" of the circumstances the details of the wedding were not given out for publication.
 Circuit Clerk Mooney would not deny that q certificate to wed had been written in behalf of the parties, but he was loath to discuss the affair. Rev. Forney Hutchinson of the Cen. tral Methodist Church, of course. had been pledged to secrecy, and he switched to the weather conditions as more congenial subject of discus. sion.
 Positive denials, that is so positive that the alleged facts were charged to friends as the promotion of a joke, was the answer from principals, but congratulations are in order.

NEW SERVICE ON

HOT SPRINGS TO HAVE THE BEST EQUIPMENT OF MODERN

This Point Means the Attraction Of Much Additional Trade to the
 City This Coming Season.

On November 1 the Chicago and Al ton, in connection with St. L., l. M.
 s. and L. R. H. S. w., will inaugurate a through Pullman car service be.
 tween Hot Springs and Chicago on
 the following schedule: Leave Hot Springs 5:30 D. m., arrive at Chicago 4:55 next afternoon. Snuthboupd
 sleeper will leave Chicago 11:25 a. m., arriving in Hot Springs 10; 05 next morning.
 This through sleeping car will be electric lighted, fitted with electric
 berth lights and fans, large wash
 rooms and ladies dressing rooms.
 and the wash rooms will be equipped with the dental lavatories. These cars will be painted the fam. ous Alton Limited" red, and the ser. vice in all respects will be of the same high class as that found on the Alton Limited" train operating be- l tween St. Louis and Chicago. This gives the Hot Springs people
 the best service to Chicago they have
 ever had, and includes dining car ser.
 vice and through sleeping car service without change.
 This means much to Hot Springs, as
 the Alton road is sending out adver- Using matter throughout the north
 west and north, advertising this ser vice.
 One of the cars is named Hot
 Springs, one Little Rock and one Ar
 kansas, and you can appreciate the fact that Hot Springs is receiving the
 best advertising that it has ever re.
 ceived. from the very fact that car leaving the union station at Chicago
 on the handsomest train in the world,
 the Alton Limited" with the name Hot Springs on it, is a great adver- tisement for this city.
