THE COUNCIL PASSES BUDGET.
CONTINUED from Page H.

Councilman Manning that he pro-
nounced them "a burlesque-a joke ("
From $4,000 to $4,000 was needed,
he affirmed, and the appropriation
should not be less than $4,000. After
the mayor had retorted with a few hot
remarks, the councilmen decided to
make the appropriation, whether the
people, as the mayor said, wanted IL
or not, and they did.
That was the last item raised, and
after the committee of the whole had
submitted its report the council
passed the budget for the coming
year.

AND
GERMANY MAY
HAVE A SCRAP

london correspondent of the United
Press. Copyright. 1911, by the
United Press Association
London, Dec, 27.-war between Eng
land and Germany is more than mere
possibility.
II it comes it will be due to the sins
of the British foreign office, which.
made up of men OF aristocratic lean
ings, has conducted the country's in
ternational relations with utter disre-
gard of the modern British Democra-
cy.
These views were voiced to the
United Press today by j. Ramsay Mac
Donald, leader of the Labor party in
the house of commons, in an interview,
in which he throws new light on the
circumstances leading up to the pres
ent delicate situation between the two
great powers, and justifies the cam
paign now being conducted by himself
and his colleagues for the regeneration
of the foreign office.
public opinion in England is not
anti-German," he declared, however,
frequently 1t may suffer from Ger
man seares, official opinion is. Pub
lie opinion in England is not pro-
Russian; official opinion is, II you
take these two points of difference
you are standing where the roads be-
tween the national policy and the Of
ficial policy separate.
"The bane of English foreign poll
cy is the personnel of its foreign Of
flee. Our diplomatic services is ex-
clusively recruited from sons of So
ciety families. They must have an
income of at east $4,000 a year of
their own, and they must be polished
in courtly ways, so as to bow prop
erly, and to speak with the approved
Oxford drawl."
lOu lllNdu lHtll dlNAOu6n lOAllhel-
ly England is a democracy, its foreign
/ affairs are still controlled by its
aristocracy?" l asked
Precisely" was the reply. "of
course, If there was stronger for
eign minister who had well-defined
foreign policy of his own, and who
united with that policy big concep-
tion of England's place in the world,
it might be different But these men
arise only once in century, or there
abouts, and, although Sir Edward
Grey is personally an exceedingly
honest man he does lack the power
to control his own officials.
'If we had house of commons con-
troll" continued Mr.. Macdonald, 1--WE
would check these aristocratic Off
cials, but all the stupid wise men
and stupid wise newspapers in the
country say to the stupid wise read
ers, who believe them; We must al
low our foreign policy to be given to
us. We only pay the bills and find
soldiers, but if we allow whisper to
get out into White Hall before trea-
ties are signed and irrevocable agree
ments made, then we are doing some
thing that is very wrong"

WITNESSED VERY
EXCITING SCENE
Mr.. J. A. Myers Saw Rescue Of Seamen
from Sinking Ship While Return
ing from New York.

Mr. ]. Allen Myers, who returned a
few days ago from New York, came
by ship as far as New Orleans. He
reports very stormy voyage, and one
full of thrills and excitement which
he hopes never to experience again.
His ship left the metropolis in a
heavy gale and before nightfall the
fierce Atlantic storm was raging and
the seas were running seemingly
mountain high. Mr.. Myers account OF
the dreadful case of "seasickness"
from which he suffered is highly anus
ing, though it was anything but a
joke while it lasted.
When about one hundred and twen-
ty-five miles off South Pass, and while
the storm was at its height, they came
across a disabled lumber steamer and
the crew could be seen wildly signal
ing for help as the steamer gradually
settled into the raging waters. rhe
situation at once became tense and
the blood left the faces of the crew
and passengers of the great ship Pro-
tectus. Night was fast coming on, the
winds We're contrary and the sea
boisterous," and just out yonder six
human beings were facing a certain

SHOOTING At KNOXVILLE
Powell Harvey, a Negro Policeman,
Dangerously Wounded Sat

A shooting scrape occurred in Mudd-

Powell Harvey, negro policeman in
the Brazos bottom, jies in a critical
condition from two sistol wounds, and
Elijah Davis is in the county jail in
this city, charged with the shooting.
There seems to have been no trouble
between Harvey and Davis previous to
the shooting. and further than the
fact that Davis was drunk there seems
to have been no cause. Davis was
armed with a pistol and Harvey, per-
forming his duty as policeman, de-
manded that the weapon be given up.
Davis then drew the pistol and fired
two shots at close range. both bullets
taking effect in Harvey's body. The
first shot entered the right side of the
abdomen and came out on the right
side of the back; the second bullet
inflicted flesh wound over the right

health Of the neighborhood is fine. Ev-
erybody is enjoying this beautiful
weather The farmers are very busy
rushing the plows and hoes trying to

plentiful.
Quite few of the Alexander peo-
pie attended singing at Cottonwood
Sunday afternoon The music was
very good. There was a large crowd
present. The singers met at Mrs. Nc
Alpin's Sunday night There was
quite crowd there.
The people are planning for the
fourth Sunday in this month, when we
are expecting a grand time. We are
going to have our church at Alexander
dedicated. We would like to have ev-
erybody come and bring someone with
, them. We have just had our church
seated with real nice seats, which
were needed very much.
We have singing at Alexander every
second and fourth Sunday. We have
ordered a new organ, but it has not
arrived yet. We have Sunday school
every Sunday afternoon and it is doing
real well, but there is plenty of room
for improvement.
The boys have organized a ball
team. They played at the picnic
