SOCIALISTS FATE
WILL Be DECIDED
Odds in Fight in England Favor
Conservatives Who Are Backed
By All Big Interests.

| LONDON, June 24.-As a result Of
yesterdays pre-arranged protest
against the government financial bill,
organizations of the conservative
party corresponding to the present
state committees In the United States
today began systematic fight to
overthrow the budget.
The fight constitutes the first real
test OF the effort to make England
socialistic. which is admitted TO be
the real purpose of the budget by the
radical liberals, whom the conserva-
tive liberals have been forced by
present exigencies to support against
their will. The conservatives have an
array OF figures by which they are at.
tempting to show that the budget Is
wholly unwarranted as revenue
measure, In that Il will raise more than
the government needs. The surplus
they declare. will go to the develop
ment fund" which is declared TO be
nothing more than a fund to exploit
number OF extremely socialistic
ventures
II is admitted that the fight that Is
now under way means either the
IuDlu vi bOCldllSu
throughout England, or a setback TO
socialism from which 1t will take at
least a generation to recover.
The odds probably favor the tories,
or conservatives, because they have
the support of practically all of the
capitalistic class and the vested inter
estS.
The liberal party Is badly split and
1t Us not believed that it will be able
to wage nearly as effective a cam
paign as the conservatives.
II is expected that thousands OF
those who would naturally be in SYM
pathy with the budget. as 1t is adj |
mittedly a burden on the rich rather
than the poor, will be won over to the
Opposition by the cry that Is going up
from the big employers Of labor that
the budget will drive capital from the
country, cut down employment and |
cause general stagnation.

SUES HUSBAND SHE
MARRIED TO REFORM
Mrs. Furniss, Former Salvation Lassle.
Declares He Drank and Came
Home Late at Niqht.

NEW YORK. June 24.-Mrs. B.
Alice Furniss, once an industrious
Salvation Army lass, who married
William Pensonby Furniss. grandson
and namesake of a man who was one
Of New York's wealthiest citizens. to
uplift him, has sued her husband for
a separation in the supreme court on
the ground she can do nothing TO help
him. She says that for several months
he has refused to support her, and
that he has abandoned ner. Justice
Giegerich directed Furniss to show
cause on June 80 why he should not
be punished forAontempt of court In
failing to pay his wife $500 alimony
The defendant and his sister. Grace
Livingston Furniss, the writer of
plays, are the beneficiaries of trust
fund amounting TO more than $l0O,
600. In her petition to the court Mrs
Furniss says that her husband has no
business and lives on his income. She
swears he Is paranoiac, and to live
with him would endanger her life.
Mrs. Furniss says she met Furniss
In 1904 when she was a worker in the
salvation Army. She thought matri-
mony would cure him of the drink
habit. They were married soon after
their first meeting and went to live
at No. &C West Westinghouse. She
could not tame her husband. He kept
drinking and coming home late at
night, she says, and had frequent de-
lusions that she was keeping COM
pany with other men.
On May 90, 1905. she says he threat
ened to kill her and drew revolver
and Chased her about their apart
ments. She had TO seek refuge with
her sister several blocks away, she
said.
Several doctors made afildavits, In
which they said Furniss was at times
demented. Furniss denies that he Is
unbalanced. Soon after they were
married, he said, his wife demanded
that he set aside a definite sum fo-
her support. When he refused she
became enraged and attacked him SO
fiercely that he had to leave their
apartments.

TARIFF BILL Is
IN SAFE HANDS
When House and Senate Conference
Committees Get Busy Look Out
for Worst Iniquities.
TARIFF SITUATION
IN A NUTSHELL

Here is the tariff proposition con-
densed:
Twenty-nine million persons In
the United States are engaged In
productive industries.
OF those
Ten million TIL the soil.
Seven million are In manufacture
Ing and mechanical pursuits.
Five million are in trade and
transportation activities,
Seven million are engaged in do
nestle. personal or professional Scr
vices.
out OF the above grand total
One hundred and fifty thousand
are employing manufacturers
For their benefit principally (ai-
most exclusively tho tariff is being
raised from the s4S per cent aver
age OF the Dingley rates. TO the 90
per cent Cplus the maximum OF o5
per cent equals II per cent? OF the
Aldrich bul.
This works out as q heavier tax
on the 100000 toiling. low-paid
wage working producers. for the
benefit OF 10000 tock-holding,
highly compensated. prosperous
manufacturers.
Ia that fair? Or a good thing?
