AsQUITH HOOTED;
GIVES ULT|MATUM
House of Commons in Wild
Disorder.
STRUGGLE OVER LORDS, ISSUE
unionlsts Refuse to Give Premier
Hearing and Cry Traitor" In
Chorus - Sitting Is
Suspended.

London, July 25-Scenes of wild
disorder marked the session of the
house of commons. Half a dozen
times the premier arose to move con-
sideration of the lords amendments
to the parliamentary bill and each
time he was howled down by a din so
terrific that the speaker had difficulty
In making himself heard as he ap-
pealed to both sides to observe par
liamentary decorum.
After trying for three-quarters of
an hour to get hearing and finding
himself unable to prevail against the
uproar, Premier Acquith cut short
his projected speech and amid
hubub declared that If tine lords would
not consent to restore the veto bill,
even with reasonable amendments, to
substantially its original form, the
government would be compelled 10 in
woke the exercise of the royal prerog-
ative for the creation of new peers.
King Takes a Hand for Peace.
A. ]. Balfour replied that the gov
eminent by this one stroke had mis-
used its pSerogative of the crown to
destroy the second chamber. Others
attempted to speak, but were howled
down, and, unable to restore order,
Speaker Lowther declared the sitting
suspended until tomorrow.
King George has actively inter
vened in an attempt to steer the war
ring political factions to a peaceful
goal. None Is more anxious than he
to avoid swapping the historic house
of peers with a battalion of new
creations. and II his personal infu
ence can effect 1t he will arrange
some plan for overcoming the pres
ent deadlock.
Roars and Groans Are Mingled.
No parliamentary event of modern
times has SO quickened the public
pulse as the present political crisis
arising from the veto bill and anxiety
to know the exact terms of Premier
Asquith's ultimatum to the peers
crowded the house and its galleries
in a way not seen before for many
years
The members of the lower chamber
usually so decorous. gave vent to
their feelings by rising and cheering
franticslly and waving handkerchief
as their respective leaders entered
The opening scenes Of the historic
session we're among the stormiest
ever witnessed in the house AS he
arose to speak the premier was en-.
couraged by roar of applause from
the radical, Irish and labor benches
but an answering volley of cheers
came from the opposition while 81
small group of standpatters busily
chanted Traitor, traitor, traitor" un,
til Speaker Lowther warned them to
control themselves

Franchise May be Void.

Keokuk, July 25.-Special: If the
report just filed by Director w. ]. E.
Roberts is approved by the independ-
ent school district of Keokuk that
body will begin in the district court
this week custer proceedings against
the Keokuk Water Works company,
claiming that the company is now
and has been operating under a void
able franchise since 1907. This con-
templated action results from the al
legged refusal of the water company to
grant the school board the minimum
rate on the total volume of water SUP
piled, the maximum rate being exact
ed for the amount of water used at
each school building. The Roberts
report claims that the franchise is
voidable, because it had only one Of
fetal publication when it should have
had, it is said, four such publications.

ALL BIDS REJECTED
City Hall Proposition Gees Over to
Another Meeting.

All bids on the municipal building
were rejected by the city council
Monday evening. Only two bids were
offered on the general construction
work and the council could not get
together on the sum total for build
ing, heating, plumbing and sheet met
al The submitted bids would bring
the total cost of the new building be-
tween fOrty-five and forty-siX thOus-
and dollars. No bids were received
from outside contractors. Just what
will be done nov is a matter of con-
lecture. Another meeting of the
council will be held Thursday even
ing when the bids will possibly be
taken up again for further cOnsidera-
ton.
The council in endeavoring to op-
Ell the work to a larger field of bid
ders entangled itself in a hopeless
muddle. Instead of calling for bids
upon the building as whole, figures
were asked for general construction,
heating, plumbing, and sheet metal
work John Mickey and Pearl Sparks
were the only ones bidding on the
general construction. These figures
were not complete without the add
ton of the cost of the other work.
Having considered the figures one way
and another the council adjourned for
an hour to permit the bidders to get
together. That is, the general con
tractors were asked to combine with
the bidders on other work in order
to make a sum total figure as that
was what the council really wanted
after ALL The figures submitted were
not satisfactory to the council when
the matter was taken up upon re-
submission and all bids were rejected
The council was in session until aft
er eleven o'clock.

Peculiar AHIiction.

Knoxville Journal: Laurence Mart,
the Indian township young man men
toned several weeks ago as being a
lifelong sufferer from hemorrhages
OF the nostrils, has been compelled to
renew his course of treatment with
the experts in Des Moines. Young
Mr.. Mart suffered daily or at least
weekly attacks of his rare malady for
many years. Early last spring the at
tacks grew more frequent and it APP
.peared that death must inevitably re-
suit from a weakening of the entire
system. Finally he found relief
through taking treatment with Des
Moines physicians and was entirely
free from the complaint. Last week
the old trouble returned and Mr..
Mart is now seeking aid as before.
The recent attack was not at all ser.
ious or alarming and permanent
cure is confidently anticipated.

FIRE At JOSEPH Bros.
Confectionery Store at 221 High
Avenue West Suffers Loss.

Fire completely destroyed the stock
of Joseph Bros, confectionery store
No. 221 High avenue West, at about
1:3o Tuesday morning. The building
was also damaged.
How the fire started Is. unknown
At the time of discovery there was
only one party in the building, and
he was asleep. 1t is said that the fire
originated in a large box where fire
works were stored. George Joseph,
who was sleeping in the building, was
the first to discover the fire. He was
awakened by the smell of smoke and
was forced to leave the building in
his night clothing. All of his clothes
were destroyed. Upon arrival of the
fire department the interior of the
building was a mass of flames. II
was almost impossible to enter the
building, as the fireworks We're ex.
ploding, skyrockets were shooting
one way and roman candles the other.
The firemen soon had the fire under
control and the flames eXtinguished.
1t is not known at present what the
loss will be. All the stock in the
or water. When one of the Joseph
brothers was interviewed by Herald
representative this morning he stat
ed that he did not know what was the
cause of the fire, and was unaware OF
II until he was awakened by the
dense smoke, which had almost suf
located him. He stated that they
carried an enormous amount of stock
and that their loss alone would be
between $500 and $4,000.
The C. w. Bollinger music store
also suffered loss, one OF their cleo
trio pianos was in the Joseph store
and it is damaged to the amount OF
$500.
The building, which is owned by c.
and c. B. West, is badly |
damaged. The floors are burned
while the ceiling and walls are dam
aged by water.
Several of the adjoining buildings
were filled with smoke. The Red

Almost Another.
What for the time promised to be
a serious fire started this morning in
the Creamery Lunch Room, which is
located back of the Windsor Hotel.
Last evening while preparing some
orders the gasoline stove blew out
and the operator did not notice it,
that someone had turned
out the burner. The jet was conse-
luently left open all night and the
gasoline run over the floor This
was quite dark when the
lunch room was opened-the stove
was generated preparatory to lighting:
When a match was applied to the
burner the stove exploded, filling the
room with flames Quick work on the
part of Roy Garrett, who was in
,harge, saved the building from des-
.ruction. The flames were quickly
without the aid OF the
ire department.

CLEARING UP THE DEBT.
Oskaloosa B. B. Association Now
Owes Little Over 81, 200.

The following statement of the f.
nances of the Oskaloosa Base Ball as
ISOLATION, made to the stockholders,
| is of general interest as setting forth
in concise way the present standing
of the corporation:
To the stockholders of the Oska-
loosa Base Ball Association: The
board of directors of the Oskaloosa
Base Ball association herewith make
the following report of the financial
condition of the organization, show
ing what has been done since the dis
banding of the club in 1908.
During the summer and fall of 1908
the directors borrowed from the Os.
kaloosa Savings Bank at different
times, $4,000, $500 and $S5, with
which to carry the club through the
season. The note for $4,000 was Sc.
cured by ten business men. The 9TH
err two notes were secured by twenty
four business men in individual notes,
mostly $25 each. AS the merchants
had paid notes given in 1905, 1906 and
1907, the directors gave promise that
they would do all in their power in
giving entertainments, etc, to clean
up the outstanding indebtedness,
from paying them.
In 1909 the directors engaged the
Patterson Carnival Co., which netted
them $3.50 after deducting expenses
for advertising, etc.
In 1910 they engaged the Cosmo
politan Carnival Co., which netted
them $500 after paying the expenses
and paying few local bills for lum-
Der, hardware, hotel bills, etc
Last weeks entertainment, July II
to %, 1911, the Parker Carnival Co.
gave the base ball association as it's
share the sum of $S09.4. The ex
pense was $13990, leaving a net bal
ance of $669.19.
The proceeds of all three carnivals
were applied to the $4,000 note as fol,
lows:
July 6, 1909 ...... $4,000
June 13, 1910 ........ 49,. 10000
July "a, 1911 ............. $4,000
This leaves small cash balance of
nearly 500 in the bank.
The account at the bank now stands
$500 principal and interest left on the
$4,000 note secured by the ten mer-
chants; $500 with interest from Aug.
20, 1908, and the $S5 note and inter
est, making total debt at the pres.
ent time of little over $1,000.
The directors are still maintaining
the corporation and invite the inspec-
ton of the books and the financial af
fairs of the corporation by the stock.
holders or any interested outsiders.
The books in the hands of the secre-
tary, Wilbur R. Bass, or the treasurer
NJ. J. Cruzen, are open for inspection
at any time, and any desired informa-
ton will be cheerfully furnished by
these gentlemen.
The directors further ask for
meeting of the stockholders for the
purpose of devising ways and means
to eliminate the balance of the cor.
poration's indebtedness to protect the
merchants who have signed these
notes. (Signed)

Half Finished Building.

Buildings at the fifteen state insti
