CHAM BERLAlN TAKES OATH
Former British Leader Appears in
+ House of Commons,

London, Feb. 17.-For the first time
since he was stricken with paralysis
years ago Joseph Chamberlain put in
an appearance in the house of COM
mons and took the oath as a member
Of the new parliament. The advent
OF the tariff reformer was quite uneX-
pected and afforded a dramatic sur
prise for the officials and members
who were being sworn in. Mr.. Cham
berlain walked with marked difficulty,
being assisted by his son. Joseph
Austen Chamberlain, and LCrd Nor
peth.
Mr.. Chamberlain advanced to a
front seat before the bench, where the
oath was administered. When the
membership roll was placed before
him for his signature he required the
aid of Austen, who signed the naWe Of
the father, the latter appending his
mark. Still supported on either side
Mr.. Chamberlain moved to the speak
!er's chair and shook hands with Mr..
Lowther.
Then the famous leader made his
way slowly from the chamber within
which so many stirring episodes of
his life have occurred.

KING OUTLINES POLICY
Reads Address at Opening Of
! British Parliament.

London, Feb 22t-E,.1og Edward
opened in state The third parliament
OF his reisn. IN a momentous speech
from the throne his majesty outlined
tne AN of the ministerial campaign
'-sainst the house Of lords as follows:
Recent experience has disclosed
serious difficulties, due to recurring
differences of strong opinion between
the two branches Of the legislature.
Proposals will be laid before you with
all convenient speed to define the re-
lations between the houses Of parlia
ment so ,as to secure the undivided
authority OF the house Of commons
over finance and it's predominance in
legislation. These measures, in The
opinion of advisers, should provide
that this house should be so consti
tuted and empowered as to exercise
impartially in regard to proposed leg
islation."
The kings speech, which had beer
awaited with such profound interest
proved to be unusually brief and made
plain that the work OF the session
would be confined to the matter o
finance and the question OF the hous'
of lords.

Streets Of Philadelphia Swarm
with Policemen.
CITIZENS AFRAID TO RIDE
Boycott Street Cars Rather Than
Face Possible Injury.

Philadelphia, Feb. 22.-With every
member of the police force on duty
and the .Gsulars augmented by spe
cially picked men sworn in for the
purpose this city is practically in a
state Of siege. Following the rioting
OF the previous day street fighting was
resumed when the street car company
the employees Of which are on strike,
attempted to run its cars.
Because most workmen were forced
to resume their regular employment
the rioting was not of SO severe
character and the police managed to
break Up all the fights without serious
delay.
A THRILLING rain, carried through the
street by brisk wind, made pedes.
trianism most uncomfortable, but
many walked to their work rather
than face the chance of stopping a
brick or a bullet by patronizing the
cars.
Vehicles of all descriptions are
transporting persons to and from their
work and team owners are reaping a
harvest, but are unable to take care
of more than an infnitesimal part of
the traffic.
In the Kensington district, where
the worst riOting took place, many
workmen are idle. This section is in.
habited mostly by working people and
those who work at a distance re-
manned at home rather than walk and
as they are absolutely in sympathy
with the strikers they would not
patronize the cars.
The police are coming in for severe
criticism because of the fact that on
the Lancaster avenue division police
men are running the cars with the
nonunion men hidden in the doorway
of the cars telling them how to do it.
AS an evidence Of Sunda- nights
rioting it is said by the company that
297 of its cars were damaged and that
many will have to be rebuilt before be.
ing restored to service.
Cars were attacked IN various pay,~
of the city during the morning, The

of women control theater shows abso-

EXPENSES EAST AND WEST

Is MI O'Brien SO well acquainted with

walton he has good reason to pass
Judgment on them?

sealed the doom of Marie Antoinette,

ing high" l am not "A Socialist and do
not uphold many of their doctrines, but

But tbs cannot be done in Los An
geles at S55 a month, though it might
be sufficient in some other Localities

ties of life including rent are cheap

der conditions of slavery.

United States spent millions and thou
sands of lives were lost to wipe out

JERSEY WOMEN MAY WIN VOTE


t VERY married woman in New Jersey will
insist on having the family bank account in
her name now. even if it disfranchses her
husband. The suffragsts there have discovered
that women in the Mosquito state once had the
right TO vote and they intend to have it restored
They are terribly angry over the way the ballot
was torn from them, although the affair happened
1O7 years ago, but it was outrage, and outrages
can't die in Jersey, even ii they do take a century
sleep.
This burning question would have been stirred
up long ago only the women didn't know it eN-
listed. In their war for votes for women they have
unearthed the fact that women voted for presi-
dent in New Jersey in 1900 but the political meth
ods of their were too much for the men and
the Legislature abrogated their rights in 1907.
Now they have discovered that the constitu-
ton OF the state adopted in l7z6 gave the right OF
suffrage to all persons regardless OF sex, who were
possessed Of { SO sterling or more. The women
have framed 4 demand for the restoration OF their
rights under the constitution and each one is max
