BRITISH BUDGET
PASSES COMMONS
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY CIV
EN- GOVERNMENTS FINANCE
BILL BY LOWER HOUSE.

London, Nov. 5.-The house of
commons last night passed the third
and final reading of the finance bill
by vote Of 379 to 149. The scene in
the house was memorable one. Sci
ance of members and peers, and the
diplomatic galleries were crowded to
their utmost capacity.
Chancellor Lloyd-George, Premier
Asquith and Mr. Balfour, leader of
the opposition, all spoke during the
course of the evening and tense ex-
citement prevailed throughout, all
present appearing to be imbued with
the historic character of the occasion.
Asks Opponents for Alternative.
Mr.. Asquith in a brief speech clos
ing the debate, said that it was in
cumbent upon those who objected to
the governments taxes to provide
some alternative scheme to meet the
nations necessities. Where was this
scheme, he asked. Sooner or later, Mr..
Balfour, it was stated, must show his
hand and it would have to be hand
that would suit the game of the tariff
reformers.
The government, continued the pre-
mier, might be well content to rest
| themselves in patience. He declared
that there we're only two issues before
the house-the taxes proposed by the
! budget or tariff reform.
| Division was then taken and the an
nouncement Of the vote, showing the
| governments majority to be larger
than had been expected, was greeted
with prolonged ministerial cheers. The
conservatives had counted upon q
score of liberal abstentions, but ap
parently onoly two liberals Joined the
nationalists in abstaining from voting
The bill will be formally passed
upon it's first reading in the house o.
lords today, the debate on the second
reading, which will determine it's fate

NO cREDENcE GIVEN REPORT,
HOWEVER, AS NO WORD HAS
BEEN RECEIVED BY ANY OF
THE OFFICIAL BODIES.
RELATIVES SAY 1T
CANNOT BE TRUE
DOUGLAS ROBINSON, BROTHER.
IN-LAW OF FORMER PRESIDENT.
SAYS HE WOULD HAVE BEEN
NOTIFIED OF ANY ACCIDENT.

Washington, Nov. 5.-A runor that
Roosevelt had been killed in Africa
was afioat in Washington this morn
ing, but a diligent search failed to dis
cover the slightest foundation for 1t.
Inquiries from many parts Of the coun-
try make 1t apparent that the r,lmor
is widespread. At the Smithsonian In
stitute not the slightest word OF such
a fatality or even an accident had
been received. The state department,
which would be most likely to be noti-
fed by Its consular representatives In
Africa, had received no news. Nor
has word come from the Associated
Press correspondent, who is accom-
panying the Roosevelt party in East
Africa, as to any mishap to Roose.
velt OF any other member OF the party,
News Not cabIed Here.
Confidential information from
source whose reliability cannot he
questioned was obtained here this aft
ernoon making 1T apparently absolute
lily certain that no tidings of any mis-
hap to Roosevelt have reached this
country by any ocean cables. This
seems to establish the fact that the
rumor is without foundation.
Discredited in New York.
New York, Nov. 5-The report to-
day that former President Roosevelt
had lost his life while hunting in At
rica was not credited by close friends
Of the former president, nor could the
reports be traced to any authentic
sources. Douglas Robinson, brother.
in-law Of Roosevelt, declared that had
Roosevelt suffered any accident he
would have been Informed immedi.
ately.
4 London Hears Nothing.
The East African department of the
colonial office has heard nothing Of
any accident to Roosevelt. The Off,
cials state 1t Is inconceivable that any,
thing serious could have happened td
him and the fact not be reported by
the governor to the colonial Office.

MUsCAT!NE TO STAY DRY
Many Forseries, 1t is Claimed, Were
Found on Saloon Petition
Recently Filed.

Muscatine, Nov. 5.-Muscatine will
be without saloons another year. The
canvass of the saloon petition by the
board of supervisors resulted in the de-
cision that the petition, asking for re-
instatement of saloons is insufficient.
The only recourse which saloonists
now have is to appeal to the district
court. Many forgeries 1t is claimed
were found on the document and the
Law Enforcement league will insti.
tute criminal proceedings against the
circulators.

boys he was unconscious, with his
head lying on the rail. The as

Political GUESSING.

In the opinion of the wise ones
in Frankfort, Lieut.. Gov. William
H. Cox, of Maysville, will be the
Republican nominee for Governor.
This does not mean that Gov. Cox
has had walkoyer. 1t means
simply that Gov. Cox, by his wis
dom and fairness and ability,
which were demonstrated each
time that he acted as Governor,
has become so popular with the
people that he cannot be beaten.
This does not suit Robert VIM,
of Mt. Sterling, report has it. 1t
is said that Mr.. VIM would like
to see Judge K. G. O'Rear get the
nomination. Judge O'Rear wanted
to be Governor all right, but he
did not and does not care to go out
and make fight for it. Judge
O'Rear has just been elected for a
term of eight years on the Appel
late bench. 1t is a position of
honor, and if there should be a
vacancy on the Federal bench it is
not unlikely that Judge O'Rear
might land a good place. He is in
line, for President Taft recognizes
his ability as a lawyer and as a
Judge.
But appointment to a place on
the Federal bench We uld suit Mr..
VIM as we'll as for Jadge O'Rear
to be elected Governor, it is said.
Mr.. VIM has his eye on the APP
pellste bench. With Judge O'Rear
out of the way, it is said, MIR.
VIM would have a fine chance to
get the nomination, and would be
elected, rs the district is Repub-
lican. -Courier-Journal. 4

Notice to Holders of State War;
rants.

This Office is informed that in
the future the Auditor will discOn-
tinue sending Treasurer's checks
for amounts due claimants, but in
stead will mail his warrant to
claimants, thereby causing them
the necessity, and danger of mis-
direction and possible loss in the
mails, by remailing the warrants
to the Treasurer for payment.
AS matter of safety and con-
venience to those receiving war
rants, as well as to this Office, |
would suggest and advise that ALL
WARRANTS sent out by the Auditor
be deposited with your local bank
for collection.
1t will probably not be possible
to pay all warrants just yet, but
those that we are unable to pay
will be returned with checks for
those that are paid.
If the above suggestions are
complied with, payments can be
made with more prOmptness, and
possible loss through the mails re-
duced to minimum.
Very truly,
F.. FARLEY, Treasurer.
