houses in Chicago today declared that
the decline In food prices was due to

fear of adverse legislation inspired
by the results of the recent congress
sional elections.
Packers here say that more cattle
and hogs have been shipped into the
market this year than ever before.
Good grain crops make fat stock, they
say, and fat cattle and hogs make
low prices.
Beef, pork and mutton prices are
from 3 to cents lower than last
year. All other foors, except bread,
are cheaper.
Prices are lower than they have
been. and will go still lower, experts
believe.

THE HOUSE
OF LORDS
is DOOMED
LIBERALS WILL ERADICATE ALL
TRACES OF ROYAL GOVERN
MENT AND THE KING WILL
RULE DEPRIVED OF ALL HIS
POWER.
IuN1rnD PRESS LEASED wIRE.l

London, Nov. 15.-The issue be-
fore parliament which met today
win be the general elections and the
question of removing the veto power
of the house of lords, with home rule
for Ireland as a secondary matter.
II the liberals are successful, it IS
expected they viii take some OF the
most radical steps since the issuance
of the Magma Charter. emasculating
the house OF lords and practically
eradicating all traces of royal gov
ernment, This will mean that the
king of England will rule from a
hollow throne. without power TO en-
force his commands, royalty win
have no prerogatives, and the peer
age no influence.
The lords precipitated the present
crisis, which 1t is predicted, will end
in their oblitsration. The commons
passed the Lloyd-George budget.
The lords vetoed the budget and a
general election followed. in which
the liberals were victorious, where
upon the lords passed the budget.
At the present session of parlia-
ment the liberals have not a SUM-
cient majority to insure the defeat
of the lords. Premier Asquith pre-
cipitated matters by proposing TO
have the liberal ministry resign and
then call a new election. The liberal
sentiment is admittedly growing.
and It is believed that the Asquith-
ties will poll a sufficient majority In
commons TO insure the success Of all
liberal measures, including the re-
noval OF the veto power Of the house
II lords.
