vanced legislation. The Laborites
also want to abolish the Lords en-
tirely, not even allowing It TO remain
for the purpose of consultation.
The program of legislation sought
by the Laborites is even more ad-
vanced than that demanded by the
Liberals. IL is Socialistic in fact. The
Irish. too, are bent on ending the
supervising rule of the Lords. They dc
not care how IL is done, so long as Il
is done. They demand Irish home
rule.
Irish Expect Home Rule.
The Lords have thus far baked
them. With the peers out Of the way
the Irish expect home rule The
conservatives wants the Lords to con-
tinue In power. But their idea of
reform is a house of still greater
strength than the present one and just
as conservative.
That, In brief, is the condition pre-
vailing in England to-day.
The fight for and against the Lords
has become such a dominating issue
that IL has even been forecasted in
some OF the more radical circles that
II King George declines to aid the
Liberals, in the event of a Liberal
victory, at the polls next month, he
may lose his throne
To get the Lords out OF the way,
II is necessary that enough Liberal
peers be named to change the politi-
cal complexion of the upper House
from soldily Conservative to solidly
Liberal. Only the King can create
these peers. The great question in
England is: "Will George obey the
people and help abolish the Lords
by creating the Liberal peers?" From
the fact that the present cabinet dis
solved Parliament instead of resign
ing, It looks as If George would do
so-providing the Liberals win the
forthcoming general election by a
large majority. II is assumed that
Asquith promised to refer the ques-
ton to the people-through the me-
dium Of general election-if George
would promise to obey the peoples
Will, as expressed at this election.
If the Liberals elect the majority
Of their candidates, It will be proof
that the people want the Lords abol-
ished.
Talk About Kings Promise.
There has, however, been no def
mite announcement that the King had
given the promise to the Premier and
the Premier is a shrewd politician.
He gaves everyone to understand be-
fore last January's election, that he
had such a pledge from King Edward.
He called the general election, the
Liberals won, and King Edward ap-
pointed no Liberal peers. This may
be a repetition of the previous in
cident. II so, Asquith's days as a po-
litical leader are ended, for the Lib
erals are almost on the point of revo-
luton to emasculate the Lords. As
quith has before been accused OF
party disloyalty, and If he fools his
followers this time, it is a foregone
conclusion that they will throw him
over, as they probably would have
done before now, but for the fear of
disruption Of their organization.

FIRE BADGE MAY
DISCLOSE TRAGEDY
Emblem Belonging to Frank
CrOVey Found With Cloth
ing on River Bank
AUTHORITIES WORK TO
CLEAR UP THE MYSTERY

Peter Orth, milk man, living near
Gordon Heights, to-day found some
clothing along the Delaware river
bank near Gordon Heights, which may
disclose tragedy. There was a suit
Of clothing and a pair of shoes in the
find, and on the inside of the coat was
pinned badge Of the Wilmington Fire
Department, number 664, which was
the badge number Of Frank Croney,
until recently of this city, who has
been member Of the Fame Fire Com
pany for a number of years.
1t was by the number Of the badge
that the police, who were informed Of
the find, learned that it belonged to
Frank Croney, who, up to last sum-
mer was employed in this city and
lived with a young brother in Elm
Street Croney left Wilmington last
summer and went to Sparrow's Point
to work in the shipyard there at his
trade of machine woOdworker.
William A. Croney, supervisor of
public schools. of this city, who lives
at No. III Rodney street, another
Drotner, said to-day that he had learn
ed through another person that his
brother Frank up to not longer than
two weeks ago, was working at Spar
rows Point.
Frank CrOney is as years Of age.
Whether he was drowned or met with
foul play or whether the clothing was
stolen from him and he is alive, the
authorities were unable to say. Spar
rows Point will be reached this after
noon to learn whether he is still there
and if he is to explain how his fire
badge came to be with the clothing
found at Gordon Heights.
Croney sometimes ago was a letter
carrier. He afterward worked at ma
chine wood work and lived here until
last summer
Neither Of his brothers or any ac-
quaintances of the man has seen him
in Wilmington recently.
William A. Croney Will probably go
