FINANCIAL BILL
PASSES COM MONS

London, November 1.-THE house of
commons has passed the third reading of
the finance bill by vote of S79 to 149.
The scene in the house was a memoir
able one. Seldom has there been
larger attendance of members and
peers, and the diplomatic galleries were
crowded to their utmost capacity. Chan
cellor Lloyd-George, Premier Asquiti
and Mr. Balfour, leader of the oppcei-
tion, spoke during the course of the
evening, and intense excitement pre-
ing to be impressed by the historic
chacater of the occasion.
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 con-
servatiyes had counted upon a score of
liberal abstentions from voting. but ap-
parently only two liberals Joined the
nationalists in abstaining from voting.
The bill will be formally passed on
its first reading in the house of lords
tomorrow, the debate on the second
reading which will determine it's fate.
beginning November 22.
iHo iibSidl pdpbTS tHlS morning are
pleased that the budget has left the
house of commons backed by a solid
majority representing the whole
strength of the party, including the la
Dor members. The only matter of dis
content is the refusal of the national
lists to support the budget, their sup
port, however, could hardly have been
expected in view of the fact that they
opposed the government on the second
reading.
The abstention of the nationalists is
declaration of war against the house
lords when the struggle Is carried into
the country at the general election.
Timothy Healy, nationalist member of
parliament for the north division of
Louth. tried ineffectively at yester-
days meeting to induce his party to
vote against the budget. but he secured
only nine colleagues to support him.
In announcing his party's decision to
abstain, John E. Redmand, in a speech
IN the house later, emphatically de-
clared that If 1t was to be question
of the lords power to block the ooun-
try's legislation permanently, he would
not be on the side of the lords, but on
the side of the commons, and he would
not allow himself to be cajoled from
this attitude by reason of his opposi-
ton to increased taxation In ireland.
AT their meeting the nationalists also
resolved to call upon the government to
reject the amendments made in the
house of lords to the Irish land BILL
In connection with the idea that the
lords had decided to reject the budget,
a mysterious paragraph appears in the
Daily Telegraph. strong unionist or
gan,- declaring that nothing has yet
occurred that can be taken as defln-
ing the lords attitude On the con-
trary, says the statement, the peers Will
approach the consideration of the bill
unpledged and untrammeled. This paf-
agraph possibly foreshadows the inten-
tion of the house of lords of amend
ing instead of totally rejecting the
budget.

WEAR MONEY OVER HEART.
Dupes Follow Instructions and Clair
yoyant Secures the Cash.


Terre Haute, Ind,--A clairvoyant
giving the name of Clyde Mcclure,
who came to the city two weeks ago,
left suddenly and took with him
about $1,000 which his victims
thought was carefully sealed in a
packet which he had told them to
wear given length of time next to
the heart. The police have informa-
tion of $3.50 he got and II is thought
he obtained $1,000 in all.
The victims were told that to be
healed in love or physical ailment
they must wear money over which he
would cast spell, next to the heart.
One woman gave him four $50
bills for her packet, which, when
opened was found to contain brown
paper. Another man thought he
was buying n half interest in the bus
mess for $40. Mcclure, he says,
pretended to place another SIT as
his part of the capital in a package
with the Taylor money and then gave
Taylor a package which Taylor
thought contained the money, telling
him to be the holder of the money
of both. When Taylor opened the
package several hours later he found
brown paper, but when he went to
find Mcclure he learned that he had
left the city.

KISS KILLS RUMOR:
OFFICIALS FRIENDS

New York.-A large splashing kiss
killed a rumor this morning. in the
office of Controller Metz. Controller
Metz did the kissing. Henry Burere,
director of the bureau of municipal
research, was the kissed. Neither
gentlemen was willing to respond to
an encore, although the audience
professed an escthetic delight in the
spectacle. Mr.. Metz hurried to a
water cooler and drank copiously.
Mr.. Bruere was observed rubbing his
cheek vigorously a moment later.
He denied the report that Metz had
bitten him.
It's hard to get away from the tale
of the kiss but it is needful that it be
properly introduced. Mr.. Metz is not
in the habit of pursuing Mr.. Bruere
until that gentaemtn coyly submits
his damask cheek to a chaste caress;
neither is Mr.. Bruere apt to go about
Mr.. Metz's office, thrusting out his
maxillary processes provocatively
when eye meets eye. There was a rea
son for chat kiss this morning. 1t
might be termed the kiss of diplom-
acy, a veritable Portsmouth confer
ence of a kiss. For it laid a fable at
rest Globe.

Then she returned along the line Of
