THIRTEEN CADETS
AT ANNAPOLIS ILL

ing of All Students Against
Disease.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 1.-Two more
midshipmen were sent TO the naval
academy hospital today suffering with
a mild form of typhoid fever making
13 in all now down with the disease.

also among the sick cadets.
Annapolis, Md, Nov 17.-Every one
of the 500 midshipmen at the naval
academy will be treated with typhoid
antitoxin to prevent the spread of the
disease, from which Is midshipmen
are suffering. Work began with the
fourth class yesterday afternoon, more
than 200 receiving their first inocula-
ton. Each midshipman must receive
three injections, and probably will be
laid up for one or two days.
This action was taken because the
medical officers cannot discover the
cause of the outbreak. There were
three new cases yesterday.

from the battleship Georgia arrived
from Brest this morning. and as they
passed out of the railway station, ap-
parently eager for the first glimpse of

irish DICTATOR" TOO
Inspired Report Gives Nov. 20
as Date for Dissolution of
Parliament.

London, Now 1.-THE lords, sitting
as a committee Of the whole today,
adopted Earl Rosebery's resolution for
the reconstruction Of the upper house.
The resolutions provide the lords shall
consist of the lords Of parliament ehos-
en- by the whole body Of hereditary
peers from among themselves and by
nomination by the crown, those sitting
by virtue Of their office and quaIifca-
ton held by them, and those chosen
from outside.
Parliament Disso1veI Nov. zsf
London Nov. 17.-An apparently in
spired statement issued today fixed
Nov. 2S as the date of the dissolution
of parliament. The government. It is
| asserted, designs to pass the budget
before appealing to the country. De
bate on the financial measure is pro-
ceeding in the commons. while the
lords are discussing the veto bill.
DenOunccs American Influence.
That the American dollar and the
Irish dictator" will figure largely in
the unionist campaign was indicated
by excitement at the annual confer
ence Of conservative associations at
Nottingham this morning. when Henry
| Chaplin, unionist member of parlia-
ment for Wimbledon and former pres
ident of the local government board,
in the opening speech denounced the
government, which he said was hand.
| ing over the rule Of the country to
"the sworn enemy of England. wtT5.
with the gold of foreign millionaires,
aspires to dictate our destinies."
Little Light Expected.
London, Nov. 17.-Pending Premier
Asquith's official statement before
parliament Friday, small hope is enter
tanned of clearing up the involved sit
uation which has resulted from the
sudden change introduced by Lord
Lansdowne's call for a veto bill. The
feature which stands out I'm the pres
ent position OF the parties is that the
house of lords finally has awakened
to the absolute necessity Of undertak-
ing self reform.
The radical leaders view this late
repentance with the utmost suspicion,
and it remains to be seen whether IL
will eventually terminate in an agree
ment which the abortive conference
failed 10 achieve.
Many Rumors About.
The parliamentary lobby yesterday
was full Of rumors of all kinds; that
the king has refused TO give the
prime minister guarantees TO increase
the number of peers sufficient for the
governments purposes in reforming
the house of lords: that the ministery
would resign: that another party con-
ference is to be held. Nothing definite
however is known beyond the fact that
all preparations are going on for gen.
nral election

amendment is really but a part of an
other also adopted by a big majority
which completely changes the method
of elections in the city
Both of these changes are the direct
result of the initiative and referendum
system in the city charter, as they
were placed on the ballot by petition
! of Is per cent of the voters. The new
election system is substantially that
which is used in Des Moines and
Berkeley, Cal.
Majority Needed to Elect.
/ The amendments change the present
law by which a plurality elects and
make majority necessary. Provision
is made for a primary election in Sep
| tember, and any candidate receiving a
majority of the votes cast is elected
If no one receives a majority the two
highest candidates go on the ballot
for the general election in November
The original Australian ballot is
used and candidates names are plac-
ed on the ballot in single group with
out party designations of any kind. but
each candidate is allowed a limited
number of words in which to make
statement to the voters.
Blow to Labor Machines.
A feature of the new system which
was apparently overlooked by the la
Dor leaders, but which promises to be
of vital Importance, is that it will de
stroy the power of the labor political
machine. Only one union labor candi-
date ever received majority in this
city. That was Schmitz at the time of
his second election. Generally it is
only due to the fact that there are
three or more tickets in the field that
the labor element secures a victory.
The majority system will break up
Mayor McCarthy's machine. The eff.
feet of the abolition of party designa-
tions will be to weaken, if not destroy,
all party machines.
