MEETING OF THE PEERS.
Earl of Crewe Moves Second Reading
in Presence Of Great
Throng.

LONDON, November 22.-Not since the
peers refused to agree to the Irish home
rule bill has public interest in the mee,-
ing of the upper house equaled that
shown today, when the lords met to COM
mence debate on the budget. This in
spite of the fact that the rejection Of
the budget bill is foregene conclusion.
Early in the afternoon a crowd gath
cred outside Westminster Palace and
formed long line from the entrance to
the public gallery. Seats in the strang-
er's gallery had already been allotted to
distinguished visitors, the most of these
being reserved for diplomats who take
interest in the proceedings. Every seat
reserved for women below the bar was
occupied The peers began arriving
early, and while waiting for the house
to open held informal conferences.
When the Earl Of Crewe rose to move
the second reading of the bill every seat
in the house was occupied, and many
members of the house of commons stood
behind the throne. King Manuel of
was an interested spectator from
a seat in the ambassadors gallery.
The Earl of Crewe formally moved the
second reading of the measure without
offering word in support of the budget.
which Is taken as an Indication that the
considered the finance bill a
subject in which the house OF lords was

cations touching the death Of the Ameri-
cans are well grounded.
Secretary Knox is acting with the full
approval of the President. Mr.. Taft has
had the developments in the Nicaraguan
trouble presented fully, and he is pre-
pared to take any needed steps to bring
about n more satisfactory situation than
now exists.
Marines to Be Sent.
Orders have been sent to the transport
Buffalo. on duty on the Pacific coast, to
sail at once for Panama. The Navy De-
partment instructions to the commander
of the Buffalo were clear and explicit. and
the vessel was expected to set sail at once
from Pinchlinque bay, Cal, after taking
on adequate supplies of coal and provi-
sions
This ordering of the Buffalo south on
hurryup schedule is taken to mean that
this government is making ready to throw
a column of United States marines into
the NiCaraguan turmoil for the enforce
ment OF the American policy. While the
$40 marines are scattered generally over
the Canal Zone they can be concentrated
by means of the railroad quickly at Pan
anna. where there are military stores and
supplies.
Any expedition against Nicaragua in
which the marines figure would be under
taken on the Pacific side of the isthmus'
The Buffalo would land the men at the
port of Corinto. which is short forty
miles from Managua. The Buffalo carries
six guns is of 6,SSS tons burden and her
engines develop 5000 horsepower. The
vessel will be driven at top speed to Fan
ANA, where on her arrival her command
er has been instructed to report 1mme-
diateiy to Washington.
Getting at the Truth.
That the State Department officials are
far from satisfied with the explanation
made by the Nicaraguan legation in JUS
tifcation of the execution of the Amer
leans, Cannon and Groce. by Zelaya is
strongly indicated, but whether it is the
intention of the officials to at once recog-
nize the beligerency Of the Nicaraguan
revolutionists or to take even more dras-
tic action against the Zelayan govern
ment could not be definitely aScertained
today.
Present proceedings are along the line
Of prosecution of the inquiries to ascer-
tain the truth as to -Groce and Cannon.
The Vicksburg at Corinto.
The first American warship to arrive in
Nicaraguan waters was the gunboat
Vcksburg. Her presence at Corinto, on
the Pacific side of Nicaragua, was an
nounced to the Navy Department late
yesterday.
. The little gunboat is in command of
Commander Alexander S. Halsted. She
is equipped with six four-inch guns and
eight guns of smaller ealiber, and is said
to be in condition TO give good account
of herself in any emergency that may
arise.

about forty years of age and had lived
there all her life. She lived I'm seclusion.
although she had score of relatives in
the surrounding country. Many of them
were at the ruins yesterday.
She was quiet and unaSsuming, and
was highly thought of by her neighbors.
Her farm comprised between 40 and 200
acres, from which she earned a comfort
able income. The house was story and
half high, with a cellar The structure
was a frame with heavy brownstone
walls for a foundation. On the first floor
was bedroom. which she used as a sit
ting and reading room and smaller
room adjoining. A large kitchen adjoined
that. There were several smaller rooms
upstairs. The entrance was from the
south. Located on the first floor in the
southeast corner was her bed. What
puzzled the searchers yesterday was the
finding of the remains near the center of
the room and considerable distance
from the bed. There was also a pile OF
papers on the body portions of which
were found in charred condition. Some
unconsumed pieces of clothing were also
found on the remains.
Tracing the Suspect.
Tracks were found near the house by
those first on the ground yesterday MORN
ing and upon closer examination were
followed to the main road. They meas
ured up to about No. shoe and were
on the road to Manassas. There were in
dications that the wearer of the shoe had
retraced his steps. Upon learning this
commonwealth Attorney Davis set out
WITH party of men to investigate the
movement of suspect on the road to
Stone house. A large number of spec
tators gathered about the smoldering
embers yesterday discussing the details of
murder and probably robbery was the
general opinion expressed. Miss Smiths
dog was crouched on the floor of buggy
within few feet OF the ruins. His ac-
t1ons after the crowd assembled were
most pathetic.
While feeling is very strong over the
outrage, there is no danger of mob vio-
lence. Not since the historic murder of
George Green by his slaves fifty years
ago has Il crime of such unpa ralleled
county, and not for many years have
the people been SO aroused.
1t is rather an odd coincidence that
the records of the title to the land on
by fire by vandals during the civil war.
The property at that time belonged to
Miss Smiths father, the late II. c.
Smith. Now both house and owner are
destroyed by fire.
The burning of the home Of Miss
Smith is the fourth crime of a similar
character that has been perpetrated in
Virginia within twelve months. The
first of these took place In PoWhatan
county, when Mrs. Mary Skipwith and
her caretakers were killed and their
bodies burned in the Skipwith mansion.
A month later the Stewart brothers
were killed and their bodies cremated
in their burned cabin in Buckingham
county More recently still. in Buck
ingham county, an entire family of six
were murdered for purposes of robbery
and their remains left to burn when
their home was fired.
In the first two cases the crimes nave
been fixed and the guilty parties. all
negroes, or a portion of them, executed.
Those accused of the latter crime, all
white. are to be tried this week.

each ear. 1t was finally decided that
such an unusual animal ought not to be
killed, and he is now at the Zoo, where
he attracted much attention yesterday
and today.
The President will eat a Rhode Island
Turkey Thanksgiving day. 1t will come
from Horace Vose, at Westerly, r. l., the
man who has contributed the Thanks
giving turkey for every chief executive
since the days of Grant. The turkey
will be shipped by express today. and
will reach here Wednesday, 1t will
weigh over thirty pounds, and will be
in as fine condition as chestnuts and
special foods can make it.

May Have Discussed Labor Laws.
Among the callers at the White House
today were j. w. Van Cleave of st. Louis,
president of the Bucks Stove and Range
Company; John Kirby of New York, presf-
dent of the National Association of Manu-
facturers. and J. A. Emery of New York,
counsel for the manufacturers associa-
ton. They had d long interview with
the President.
Upon leaving the executive office they
stated that the Gompers' case was not
mentioned in their interview, but be-
yond this they refused to make any state
ment. 1t is surmised, however that they
recommended to the President such
changes in the national labor laws as

COMES ON A FLYING VISIT
FORMER CONSUL GENERAL
WYNNE HERE.
No Plans for Public Announcement,
But Will Have Headquarters in
New York.

Former Consul General Robert ].
Wynne, one time Postmaster General,
but first, last and all the time a news
paper man of parts, is in town on a
flying visit. He landed in New York
from London Saturday and hurried to
Washington, where he feels at home
and where he cannot walk down any
street without being hailed by the ia
miliar name Bob.
Mr.. Wynne was not particularly
communicative today. He has no
plans for public announcement and
he believes that the only reason he is
classed with those minority residents
of the District who have not been men,
toned for a commissionership is that
his presence here has not yet become
generally known.
When Star reporter met Mr.. Wynne
today, strolling down Pennsylvania
avenue, he was attired in a dark blue
suit of ultra English cut. which, he
confided to the reporter. was made by
his old tailor here in Washington. He
carried shiny cane with a hook on
the end of it and a classy young mus
tache such as is worn by young Lon
dOners.
To Come Over Now and Then.
Mr.. Wynne looked like a substantiation
of the rumor that he has become con-
nected with several Indicators of great
wealth, and had death grip on lu-
crative job. 1t is certain, however, that
hereafter his headquarters will be in New
York, and that he will come to Wash
ington now and then to look things over
and visit his old friends and lifelong as
sociates in the newspaper business.
today, land l didn't have a fight getting
through the custom house. l also had
an interesting trip-my tirst-through the
new tunnel. l was quite surprised to note
that the river looked quite different on
the bottom than it does on the tOp.'

cussed the operation of the workmen's

PURCHASE OF WATER RIGHTS
IMPORTANT DECISION BY SEC
RETARY BALLINGER.
Second Applications May Be Made
Where Applicants Have Land
Buying Rights Under Law.

Secretary Ballinger of the Interior De-
partment announced a ruling today with
regard to lands in private ownership with
in reclamation projects. which will be
of interest to many land holders so
situated. An inquiry was made OF the
department recently as to whether or
not, In the case of lands in private
ownership. the owner, after making water
right application for 100 acres of land.
and after making complete payment and
selling the land together with the water
right which is appurtenant thereto. could.
by purchasing another tract of irrfgible
land, make a second application for water
right and subsequently sell the land.
In his decision Secretary Ballinger holds
that such water right applicant must
bring himself within the provisions of sec
ton FIVE of the reclamation act; that he
must actually reside on the land or IN
the neighborhood thereof. and must make
all payments before the right attaches 10
the land. When properly qualified. such
a party may purchase the right to use
water from an irrigation project, ana
after completing the necessary payment
of all charges, dispose OF all titles to the
land which carries with it transfer
of the water right. Having thus disposed
of his holdings and become Invested or
all right and interest In the land and the
water right appurtenant thereto, he may
purchase another tract of irrigable land
within a reclamation project. provided he
Is properly qualified.
The right to purchase land. the Sec
rotary rules carries with it the neces-
sary authority to purchase water right
therefore, not to exceed 16O acres, and
such purchaser is placed in the same posi-
ton as though he were an original pur-
chaser. Thereafter he may purchase and
sell SO long as he keeps within the provi-
sions of the law.
The ruling. it is pointed out, will be
of much interest in reclamation districts.
particularly where large bodies of land
are held in private ownership, and Will
no doubt it is said. result in much gen
eral good i'm the communities at large
which will be affected.
