report that the association was prepar

Twin Cities railroads.

had better keep off. A general strike

COLLIER UNAOVED
WHEN TRIAL OPENS
Policeman Accused of Muir
der Starts Fight for
His Life.

Sitting unmoved beside his counsel in
Judge Gould's court this morning, PO-
HCeman John W. Collier heard Assistant
District Attorney Turner make his open
ing statement 70 the jury by which he
hopes TO prove that the killing OF Capt.
William Mathews. in mis- office at the
Fifth Precinct station on March last,
was deliberate and premeditated, and
should bv punished by the extreme pen
atty.
Il was an ordeal for the policeman
on trial for his life, especially when
with considerable dramatic fervor the
Assistant District Attorney repeated
Golfers admission TO a fellow police
man that ne had killed his superior
officer.
The jury was selected within thirty
minutes after court convened. The Jury
box was filled after six taIesmen were
examined Three were excused on the
plea Of conscience SCruples and two
because or opinions already formed

ZELAYA'S ADVISERS
BLAMED FOR STRIFE
Agent of Provisional Gov

Controlled by RascalS.

DR.. salvador Castrillo. the diplomatic
agent at Washington OF the provisional
government Of Nicaragua, declared to-
dav that the most important action that

fact among those who know Zelaya that
he is so ignorant that he is incapable
OF writing or formulating a proclama-
ton. All Of his state and public papers
have been prepared by Irias and others.
1T is these men We are after now.
The fact IS that the revolutiOnists have
had opportunity time and again 10 kill
Zelaya, but he. after all, Is not the
man we are after. We are after the
rascaIs and thugs who surround him.
Every one Of them has a speciality,

LONDON, Dec. 2.-With the bold dec
lsration that IL the rejection by the
house of lords of the budget IS allowed
20 be finally effective. the "unwritten
constitution Of England will not long
continue" Premier Asquith today led
the debate before crowded house of
commons on his resolution that the
lords action was a breach OF the con-
stitution and ursupation OF the. rights
OF the house Of commons.
Asquith spoke In a clear voice and
with deliberation, but for ali that, he
was laboring under great emotion.
The speech was listened TO in striking
silence and the presence in the galleries
OF many leading diplomats Of the ma
tion and scores Of prominent men and
women testified to the Importance that
attaches 20 the great constitutional
struggle that Is now involving England.
There were may peers in the House.
Without Precedent.
The premier declared the present sit
uation was unparalleled IN parliament
history. ''The house OF commons
would be unworthy OF the traditions
that surround it." he declared, III s.
failed to make clear the fact that q
does not intend 10 brook this grave
indignity. this most arrogant usurpa
tion Of it's rights that has been seer
more than two centuries"
Asquith explained the rejection Of toe
budget renders # impossible 70 supply
the states necessities without borrow
ing money. He charged the lords with
direct responsibility for the administra-
tive embarrassment. political confusion
and Increased indebtedness Of the coun-
try,
Advises the King.
Continuing. Asauith said he had ad-
vised the King 20 dissolve parliament
and the King had consented TO do so
And if the new parliament is Lib
eral." the premier said. ''its first act
viii be TO reimpose the recent budgets
taxes. and duties, and 60 validate the
collection Of taxes now being made
without full authority"
The dissolution OF parliament, q
which Asuuith referred, really means
tho proroguing Of the body. which VII
take place tomorrow. The actual dis
solution will not take place until Jan
usry 8, when arrangements will bc
completed for the general election.
Call For Meeting.
The National Democratic League to-
day issued a cali for mass meeting al
Trafalgar square on Saturday. TO be-
gin the warfare on the house Of lords.
The call declares THE lords have
declared war against the people and
it urged the people 10 take such action
as "will forever destroy the power for
evil now exercised by the lords"
This call. following one Of a similar
nature by the National Federation,
shows a vigorous attempt is to be made
20 arouse the people 70 the necessity for
drastic reform. The federation's appeal
declares III the present action OF the
lords IS not repudiated swiftly by the
