BUDGET TO-DAY
DEBATE ON MEASURE IN HOUSE
OF LORDS YESTERDAY
WAS WARM.
REJECTION SEEMS SURE
Lord Moriev's Powerful Speech Was
Absorbing Event of the De-
bate-Many Other
Peers Spoke.

London, Nov. 29--Lord Morley's
powerful speech was the absorbing
event Of the budget debate in the
house of lords today The secretary
for india quoted Burke to the effect
that the lords had no right to the dis
position of the public purse, and con
tended that the budget with all of its
complexities, could not wisely be
submitted to a referendum. The
referendum also would weaken what
sense of responsibility there is in the
house of commons.
As to the contention that the
lords action would arrest the wave
of socialism he refused to believe
that British artisans are socialistic
but even granting that misery among
some classes had produced a move
ment akin to socialism, it was par
TALLY wise of the lorss to take the
position Of straining the constitution
as champions of the rich against the
poor.
Lord Rothschild, liberal unionist,
briefly dwelt on the difficulty raising
capital, even for the best English
enterprises, while Russia and Japan
found borrowing comparatively easy.
Lord James, of Hereford, declared
that it was beyond the lords compen-
sary to reject the right. Precedent
practice, usage and acquiescene are
all opposed to it. He added that he
separated himself from his party re-
gretfully, and appealed to his fellow
unionists to reconsider their de.
cision.
"The coming contest" he said,
"wili be one-sided. None of you will
be able to defend your course. You
will be at the mercy of your op-
ponents.'
Lord James announced his inten-
tion to pursue the constitutional path
and vote against the rejection.
Many other peers spoke, nearly all
in favor Of rejecting the budget. The
debate adjourned at midnight Al
though the result Of the division to-
morrow Is n foregone conclusion the
country has been impressed with the
oratorical skill displayed in the upper
house, especially the powerful argu-
ments of the liberal peers.

Birmingham, Ala, Nov. 29,--All in
dications point to a majority Of from
1900 to 10000 in Alabama against
the prohibition amendment. The early
returns indicated landslide, and sue
ceeding bulletins confirmed the indi-
cations. This county in which is the
largest city Of the state despite the
fact that the fight for prohibition was
concentrated here, gave majority
of over LOO against the amendment.
Mobile Montgomery and Cullman
counties. show the largest majorities
on the victorious side The amend
ment was apparently carried in only
three counties. Talladega, Macon and
Sumter. with Lee comfy doubtful.
Today's election cannot be regard
ed as a straight anti-prohibition Wet
Dry on accounty of the personal poll
ties injected into the issue The as
sertions that the administration Of
Governor Conner md his reputed abil-
ity to name the successor to the gov
ernorship in Judge S. d. Weakly. ar
thor of the prohibition bills, have
figured prominently in the result.
The significant feature is the fact
that the sentiment against the amend
ment is so widespread. The rural
precincts, small towns and cities alike
mostly returned substantial MAORI
ties on the winning side.
Nothing like the good feeling
shown in Birmingham tonight over
the result Was ever before seen.
Thousands from outside the city are
here to see the returns flashed and
the down town streets were billow
of enthusiasm.
While women and children were ut
the ROLLS at many places, their pres
ence did not effect the vote to any ex-
tent.
Today was the first time that the
expression OF the whole electorate of
the state ives secured on prohibition
question. The state wide prohibition
bill was passed by a legislature elect
ed on the local option platform and
while several counties he'd declared
for prohibition the voters of the en-
tire state had never before passed on
the question direct.
In Birmingham the election was the
most exciting ever witnessed. Crowds
were around each polling place,
women and children were singing, and
bands stationed by the anti-amend-
nent forces were playing patriotic
airs.
Each polling place had its quota OF
fist fights, The feeling was SO high
that few words were sufficient to
bring blows. Practically every other
voter was challenged and required to
swear that he was qualified elector,
