'ApHAslAC" MAY Be OESERTER
FINGER-PRINT COMPARISON IN
DICTATES He IS COLLINS.
Capt. Sharp of the Virginia to Try
to Identify Him as Member OF
Crew on French Leave.

Tn the opinion of officers of the bureau
of navigation Of the Navy Department
and naval and marine officers who have
talked with him at the navy yard the
unknown man who has been at the
washington Asylum Hospital claiming
to be suffering from aphasla Is Harry
Collins. a deserter from the navy.
Collins, to apply that name to him
for want Of any other is now peins
detained by Maj. Neville. commanding
officer of marines at the navy yaru'
along with several other prisoners,
awaiting full descriptive records from
Norfolk Medical officers will examine
into his mental condition pending the
arrival of the records.
In the meantime a comparison of the
finger prints of the unknown, made
here, with those at the bureau of navi-
CATION point conclusively to his identity
as Collins, a man who deserted from
the Virginia few weeks ago.
After j. D. Hall, who has charge of
the finger print records at the Navy
Department, and who made an ex-
haustive examination of them in con-
nection with the Collins case, had found
Collins prints recorded in his books
the unknown" was removed from the
Washington Asylum Hospital to the
navy yard. Physicians there will study
his case carefully.
In the meantime his photograph and
general description. made by the District
police, have been sent to Norfolk, where
Capt. Sharp, commanding the Virginia,
will take. look at them for further iden-
tification.
All day today Collins continued to say
he did not know who he was or whether
he had ever served in the navy. He is
sticking to his story closely.
Commander Burridge and Maj. Neville,
both of whom talked with him, say they
cannot tell offhand whether Collins is
shamming or suffering from aphasia. 1t
will probably be several days before the
matter can be settled unless he admits
desertion and that he is Collins.
If his mind is affected he will be con-
fined in a hospital. If he is sane he will
be sent to prison for desertion.

QUESTION ONE OF PRINCIPLE
LORD GROWERS VIEW OF ENG
LIsH BUDGET CONTROVERSY.
Member of Oppositions Tells Peers
There Is Recklessness in
Handling Finances.

LONDON. November 24.-The debate
on the finance bill III the house of lords.
which was resumed last evening, drew
a great crowd, and all the available
places for spectators were occupied.
Lord Cromer, one of the most conserve
tive peers, was the first member of the
opposition to express doubts as to the
wisdom of the amendment of Lord Lans-
downe, which was under consideration.
and which declared that the lords were
not justified in giving their assent to the
bill until it had been submitted to the
judgment of the country.
Lord Cromer said the question before
them was eminently one of principle,
whether they were justified in referring
the matter to the country.
Recklessness in Finance.
After declaring that the general finan-
ciaI policy of the government did not in
spire him with any confidence and de-
ploring the recklessness with which the
nations finances were administered. Lord
Cromer said he, nevertheless. regretted
his inability to support the amendment
of Marquis of Lansdowne.
But, inasmuch as vote against LORD
Lansdowne might be construed into an
Gord Cromer) wholly disapproved, he
would abstain from voting altogether.
The action suggested by the amend
ment of the Marquis Of Lansdowne, Lord
Cromer said, would lead to prolonged dis
sension. Even moderate men among the
liberals would be obliged to engage III
ceaseiess agitation to procure the pro-
found modification in the constitutional
functions of the lords.
What Lord Cromer feared was that in
the present distracted counsels there
would be a great temptation to spend
money extravagantly in social reform in
order to win the SURFACES of the people.
and there would be neglect of the great
duty of making secure the integrity OF
the empire. He had come to the con-
clusion that Objectionable as the budget
might be the lords could not reject u
mourning other risks Of even a
more formidable character.
