London, Nov. 24.-Lord Roseberry,
former Liberal prime minister, in one
of his finest speeches today warned
the house of lords that they are run

budget.
Il am disassociated from any party
and speak from sense of the awful
gravity of the situation. This is the
greatest political moment in the life
time of anybody born since 1882"
Previous to this year, Roseberry
said the lords had practical control
of the house of commons, but since
then 1t was not possible that the COM

house of lords should reject. He con-
sidered that the only possible circum-
stances justifying the lords in exer-

INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE
CAME NEAR HAVING A RIOT

There was almost riot at the meet
Ing last night of the council commit
tee on police. Jail and fire depart
ment, at the council chamber. 1t was
precipitated by VIM. Kluge the gro
Gerry man at 1914 Poplar street. Mr.
Kluge had been requested to come
before the committee and tell his
story, being assured of civil treat
ment, but he was about as brutally
handled as a man well can be with
out being actually assaulted. In fact
a threat of physical assault was made
by one member of the committee,
and no effort was made by any one
to protect him.
Mr.. Kluges story was in substance
as follows: Near his place of busi-
ness negro named Glover was
keeping a disorderly house where
negro men and women congregated
daily and nightly for the purpose of
gambling and general debauchery.
The place was so outrageously bad
that the entire negihborhood was
scandalized and its peace disturbed.
A number of shooting scrapes had
occurred there, Tin one night three
negroes we're shot). Mr.. Kluge and
others had complained to the police
and nothing was done. Finally he
concluded to act himself and swore
out a warrant for Glover's arrest, The
fellow was brought into court and
asked for a continuance. (Mr. Kluge
told The Bulletin editor that Mr..
Egan acted as Glover's attorney
coaching him what to do and suggest
ing to him to demand ten-day con-
tinuance, when the judge wished to
make it shorter time). The con-
tinuance was granted and a bond
asked for. One of the names on the
bond was that of Mr.. Goodman, the
secondhand dealer. Mr.. kluge met

which the nation considered dan
gerous.
The peers were playing for too
heavy stake and risSing the very
existence of the house OF lords.
The winning policy continued the
speaker, would be to pass the budget,
give the country six months expert
|ence of it's intolerable impositions,
loss of capital. and employment. They
would then achieve an election victory
that would surprise themselves.
Roseberry added: 'The house of
lords has lived on menaces ever since
II can remember and is still thriving.
but the menaces now are used by
men bent on having a single chamber.
Their efforts are revolutionary in es-
sence, If not in fact"
Roseberry, who has long advocated
the reform of the house of lords, de.
clared that no final adjustment of the
differences between the house will
ever be obtained without some form
of referendum. Denouncing the bud
get strongly Roseberry said that the
one maxim burned into the country
by bitter experience, was that there
should be no legislation without rep
Presentation.
Disregard for that MAXIM" he said
'lost us the United States, and we
are not likely to offend against II
again" He contended that the bud
get taxes the lords freely without
their having vote in the matter. He
warned the country that the pressure
of great armaments was eating out
the heart and hurrying Europe to
lwards bankruptcy.
1t is impossible to Judge the effect
! of Roseberrys warning, but it Ii
known that a considerable number oi
Unionist Peers doubt the expediency
of rejecting the budget and many will
not vote.
! The commons will adjourn tomor
row until Wednesday when Premier
IAsquith will explain the policy of the
government in view of the anticipated
rejection of the budget.

Today the flames from the fire in

surface, had swept so feet up the main
shaft. Then the fire was forced back.
Manager Taylor declared that the de-
struction of the main shaft is at all
times imminent and with it the only
possibility of removing the bodies.
That no men survive in the mine now
is conceded even by the most opti-
mistic miners.
The only part of the mine unex.

possibly be found, is the east working
of the second vein at the entrance of
