the realm is a member of the up
I per house, House of lords.
When the two houses are of
the same political faith business
is transacted without much fric-
ton: but when the two houses
are of different politics, it is not
an easy matter to enact laws for
the government of the realm.
The House of lords is usually
conservative, very conservative,
and being a perpetual body sell
dom changes politics; but the
House of commons, being elect
ed, is sometimes conservative.
and oftentimes liberal. The pre-
sent House of commons is liberal
by a large majority, and wants
/, TO enact laws demanded by the
country. But the upper house
has been pleased to veto every
bill passed by the commons un-
less it met the lords approval.
The fight of late years has
been to make the House of COM
mons free of the lords veto po-
wer. And the commons have
wOn-have won very much.j
Some time ago the House of
commons passed a bill re-affirm-
ing the power of the commons
over all matters of finance-the
power Of the house socalled-and
that the upper house must not
interfere; and also giving the To-
wer house the right to pass bills
for the general good independent
of the lords. That is, it limits
the veto of the lords. A bill
passed by the commons may be
vetoed twice by the lords, but if
the commons pass the bill the
third time, it becomes a law with
out the consent of the lords.
That is the meaning of the So
called veto bill lately passed by
the commons and sent up to the
lords. For a while the upper
house scorned to pass such a bill,
but finally concluded to yield
rather than have their majority
swamped by the creation of two
hundred and fifty new peers.
The King had agreed to do that
if the thing became actually nee
essary. The peers thought il
wiser to yield than have the
house changed in politics by tht
creation of two hundred and fiji
ty liberal peers.

In Murder Mystery

be able to give some important infor-
nation In regard to James Smith, reach.
ed Washington this morning on the
steamship Northland. He was In care
Of Detective Cornwall, and was taken
to Inspector Boardman's office.
When asked what he knew or Smith,
Stout said:
Il have known Smith three or four
years. He always told me he was a
Westerner, and that his parents owned
a ranch somewhere In either Nebraska
or Oklahoma. He said that he had a
brother who managed the ranch.
Smith was in Newport News until
ten days or two weeks ago. He left on
one Saturday afternoon. informing me
that he intended coming to Washing
ton. While in Newport News he worked
in the shipbuilding yards. l stood good
for his board the last week he was
there, and when he skipped out with
out paying 1 had to settle his bill.
when they came for me In Newport
News I was surprised, because / knew
nothing of the crime, and saw no rea-
son why they should want me.

Two Women Say
Smith Rented Rooms
Of Them Last Week

Smith seems to hav' had a mania for
renting rooms since his recent return to
Washington. A man answering to his
description applied at 1915 Thirteenth
street northwest for lodging.
Mrs. Edwin Higgins, who lives at that
number, said today she Is positive Smith
is the one who called. In this state
ment she is borne out by other members
of tn household and by neighbors.
The stranger paid a weeks room rent
in advance, spent a part of the day and
the night there, and the next morning
disappeared.
Mrs. Sanderson, 235 Second street
northeast, after seeing an additional
photograph of Smith In the Times, sait
today she Is convinced he was at her
home with a woman last Thursday
night. The caller told Mrs. Sanderson
he was from Baltimore.

pliance with this demand, since the
