Long ago, before silver had come in
to use for domestic purposes, the

cups were all of pewter. and so dur
able was this that it was handed down
from father to son. 1t was composed
of tin and lead chiefly. copper and
brass being also represented in 1t, and
antimony in the silver pewter
Nowadays. an admixture of silver
is often seen, usually in the form OF
studding with silver nails. up-to-date
craftsmen use the pewter appliqued
on wood. This is lacquered and re
quires no polishing.
A great deal of old English pewter
bears the silver mark. but that is
simply due to the fact that the ad
herents of the Stuarts sacrificed their
silver to the kings cause. and an ex
act replica was made in pewter.

SENSATION SPRUNG
BY LABOR LEADER
Political Crisis Brought About
by Ultimatum Sent to
Premier Asquith

LONDON, Feb. 17.-George M. Barnes,
member of parliament for Glasgow,
Blackfriar division, who two days ago
was elected chairman of the labor party
In parliament, caused political sensa-
tlon today by issuing manifesto which
IL acted upon means the severance of
the ties which heretofore have united
the liberals and the laborites.
L learn, writes Barnes, that Pre-
mier AsqUith is to hold office without
assurances from the king with regard
to the veto and that the veto is to be
dealt with after the budget.
That of course will not be accept
able to the labor party. 1t means the
powers that be think the general cleo
ton was not sufficiently decisive with
regard to the lords veto and 1t involves
therefore another election before the
question of the lords is settled. If
another general election is to be held
we should have it as soon as possible
Thls manifesto which has been sent
TO Premier Asquith, is generally ac-
copied as an ultimatum and in the
event of this protest being disregarded
the laboriteS will vote against the
government Coming on top of the evil
dent difficulties which the ministers are
encountering in their negotiations with
the nationalists, it created an almost
panlcky feeling among the liberals in
the loDbleS of the house of commons.

Speaker Nixon of New York AS

Nixon was the third name that Senator
Benn Conger says Hiram c. Moe wrote
on one of the envelopes in which they
carried $4,000 to the state capital nine
years ago to buy protection for the
bridge companies.
The name of the former speaker OF
the assembly, who died in 1905, an
nounced today by Conger on the stand
completes the trio.
Speaker Nixon's envelope, according
to Conger, like Senator John p. Aid s
held $1,000.
The remainder of the fund, 1000. was
in the envelope given to Nixon's lieu
tenant, Assemblyman Jean Larue Bur
nett.
according to Conger, from 1901 to
1903 a systematic campaign was con-
Quoted at Albany against the treasury
OF the bridge companies. For three
years the companies paid tribute.
In 1905 notice came from Albany that
1t would be to their interests to for
ward to the capital $500 Then the
men who controlled the bridge com
panies met in Syracuse and agreed not
to pay.

MEAT BARONS ARE
CALLED TO EXPLAIN
Swift and Armour Testify That
Competition, Rather Than
Combination, Fixes Prices

Competition rather than combination
among packers fixes the price of meats.
according to testimony of packing
company officials before Special Elk
aminer Dillon here today in the inves-

A general denial that prices are fixed

witnesses examined.
The greater part of the day was
taken up in learning the ramifications
of the different companies.

Swift & Co. of Illinois own stock IN

of the late Gustavus f. Swift. $1,000, :

He said that Swift & Co. of Maine
and Swift & Co of West Virginia are
selling companies for the Illinois COM
pany, to which all business and divi-
dends are reported.
Charles W. Armour, president of the
Armour packing company of Kansas
City, contended that competition fixed
the price at which meats were sold.
He denied that representatives of
his firm met with other packers to fix
prices. He said his company always
met the prices of its competitors
