VOTES DOWN BUDGET.
House of Lords Does Thing I'm
usual in English History.

London, Dec. 1.-The house of
lords created a situation unpre-
cedented in English history, at least
in three hundred years, by refusing
formal assent to the budget bill and
referring it to the country itself for
judgment, thereby in theory making
it Illegal to collect taxes and carry on
the kings government. After six
days debate, the house of lords
cleared for division
The vote was on Lord Lansdowne's
amendment that the house was not
justified in giving it's consent to the
bill until it had been submitted to the
judgment Of the country. Nearly Is

Earl Weldegrave. Viscount Churchill,
Baron Denman and Lord Colebrooke-
When the vote was announced just
before midnight as $50 to rs in favor

were heard. Owing to the crowded
state of the chamber the tellers had

When Struggle Began.
When David Lloyd George, chan
cellor of the excheuuer. on April %
presented in the house of commons
the liberal government budget, he
precipitated a struggle which has be-
come historic. Accumulated wealth
and the trade as the liquor bust

bear the burden of the f15,762, 900
(S7S, 810,000) deficit of the fiscal year

naughts.
Memorandum issued prior to the in
PRODUCTION of the budget, the chan
cellor estimated the revenue for the
fiscal year of 1909-1O as S741,95O,O0O
and the expenditures as $82O.760,O0O.
The chancellor pointed out that nearly
all branches of trade and industry
suffered serious depression, the for

DEAD in BATH TUB.
Investigation of Woman's Death I'm
covers Another Murder Mystery.

+ New York. Dec. 1.-The mystery
surrounding the death of Mrs. o. w.
s. Snead, a young Brooklyn woman
whose body was found in a bath tub
m a vacant house in East Orange, N.
j., was still unraveled today, although
the police have taken into custody the
Victims aunt, Miss Virginia Wardlaw,
pending an investigation, her state
ments having been regarded by them as
contradictory. Clews in the case led de-
tectfves to Flatbush, Brooklyn, early
today and what they found caused
them to estimate the connection be-
tween the death of Mrs. Snead in East
Orange and happenings in socalled
house of mystery in the Brooklyn
suburb, where Miss Wardlaw, Mrs.
snead and two strange old women
lived until recently.
The search of the house today led
to the discovery of blood spots in
various rooms. In the kitchen stove
he police found two bundles of hu-
man hair, while crushed down in the
stove were four human bones, partly
burned, and the skull of a child two
years old.
Blood spots in four rooms of the
upper floor were discovered and the
detectives have ordered the cellar to
be dug up. Mrs. Snead's husband dis
appeared last summer.

Colonial Policy.

Boston, Dec l. Independence for
Porto Rico and the Philippines We're
called for by the anti-tmperialist
league at it's eleventh annual meeting
in this city. Both President Moore
field Storey and Secretary Erving
Winslow, who have been leaders in
the movement since its inception at
the close of the Spanish American
war, and who have been re-elected,
declared the league should devote
every possible effort to resist the es-
tablishment of a colonial department
and urged the Filipinos to persist in
demanding independence by preserv-
ing order and showing their fitness
for self government
President Story said the American
government had failed in the last ten
years in making the people of Porto
Rico and the Philippines either pros
porous or contented, and that they
were constantly becoming more and
more bitter toward the United States.
Andrew Carnegie, Samuel L. Clemens,
William D. Howells, Lieutenant Gen
eral Nelson A. Miles and Miss Jane
Adams were among the vice presi-
dents elected.

houses and churches to IS cents. They
ave been 81. He also ordered The
companies to abolish the charge for
builders risk. This means that in the
future the rates will not be lifted on a
building undergoing repairs.
He also ordered the companies to
eliminate the additional charge for
tenant occupancy of farm and city
property. Now the companies charge
higher rate where the property is
occupied by a tenant than if occupied
by the owner. Today's order puts a
tenant on the same basis as the owner.
