Session in House Of commons-Pre-
nier Thrsatens Creation Of New
Peers to Restore Veto Bill.

London, July 24.-Scenes Of wild dis
order marked the sessions of the house
of commons today. Half dozen times
the premier rose to move consideration
Of the lords amendments to the par
liamentary bill and each time he was
howled down by din so terrific that
the speaker had difficulty in making
himself heard as he appealed to both
sides to observe parliamentary decor
um. Again Asquith essayed to speak
but was unable to prevail against the
uproar.
After trying vainly for forty-five
minutes to get a hearing Premier
Asquith cut short his projected speech
amid hub-bub and declared that If
the lords would not consent to restore
the veto bill, even with reasonable
amendments to substantially its origin
al form. the government would be COM
PEELED to invoke the exercise of the
royal prerogative for the creation Of
new peers

voREp LoRlMER's ELECTION.
ALLEGED eoUTELl LETTER
INTRODUCED At HEARING
ssnsation Created When Hines Again
Attempts to Fix Responsibility for
lerimer's Election on President Taft
-rslls Of Visit to Steel Corporation
Head.

Washington, July 24-Edward Hines
Of Chicago, caused a sensation here to-
day by testifying before the senate
Lorimer committee that former Repre-
sentative Henry S. Boutell, of Illinois,
now American minister to Switzerland,
told him that President Taft regarded
Lorimer as an acceptab bic senatorial
candidate. and was anxious to have
him elected and would be very glad
to assist in his election.
Attorney Hanecy, counsel for Senator
Lorimer, questioned Hines further
about his trip to New York while the
Lorimer election was pending before
the senate. Hines testified that on one
Of these trips he called on E. H. Gary,
of the United States Steel corporation,
to see about the price Of stock in the
Colorado Iron Company.
Suddenly. at the instance of his coun-
sci, Mr.. Hines produced a sheet Of
paper without letter head and without
signature or date but which Mr.. Hines
Swore was in Boutelrs handwriting
This sheet contains these words:
know who was the only man in WASH
ington who went to the president in his
behalf, and to bring off the goods"
Mr.. Hines declared the senator refer
red to was Senator Lorimer and that
his election to the senate was the SUBJ
ject Of the note. The witness explained
that he was sure Of his explanation
because he had a conversation with
Mr.. Boutell later which cleared up the
matter. Mr.. Hines declared that in this
conversation Mr.. Boutell said he had
gone to see President Taft and had
told him that Lorimer seemed to be the
only man upon whom the factions
could unite. Mr.. Hines continued:
Mr.. Boutell said that after he told
the president Of Lorimers capabilities
and OF the ability of the factions to
unite on him he (the prestdenD said
that he was very anxious to have a
senator elected from Illinois and that
Mr.. Lorilner was very acceptable to
him and that he would do all he could
to assist in electing him"

Early Figure. Show w.t Victory.

AuStil, lex, July FZ4.-IRc HStS
have won their anti-prohibi ion fight in
Texas by the narrow margin Of about
1000 votes out of total cast OF ap-
proximately 100000. With few scat
tering counties, admitted to be favor
able to the "antis," still out. there is a
majority of 52S5, and it is figured that
the returns from the scattering coun-
tieA will swell the majority to about
1000.
While it was stated last night that
the pros" will accept the results as
indicated by the unofficial returns. they
announce that the prohibition war will
De continued until they win. regardless
of the results in Saturdays election.
Political Significance Of Election.
An analysis Of the vote is viewed by
political leaders as significant of two
things:
First. that once a man is "pro" he
is always a "pro." This conclusion is
reached by the fact that the local op-
ton counties changed front very little
in Saturdays vote, as compared with
the vote in past local option elections,
and where any change was noticeable
it was mostly an increase in the pro-
vote.
Second, the vote is looked upon as a
direct slap at both United States Sena-
tor J. w. Bailey AMI Governor Colquitt
and his adm ninistration.
The liquor interests of Texas threw
their support to Bailey in his recent
vindication and also lent him their un-
divided support in several public
movements looking to his humiliation.
1t was given out thru the leaders of
the liquor interests that Bailey had
promised to return to Texas and lend
his personal support on the stump
when the fight for statewide prohibi-
ton came up. This he failed to do.
The pros" while accepting his 81
lerce as indicative of the fact that he
was going to be neutral, nevertheless
arrayed themselves the more solidly.
The anti-Bailey men. seeing an oppor-
tunity to strike hard at Bailey. threw
their liquor convictions to the wind and
voted with the pros" in order to get
even with Bailey.
Defeat Seen for Bailey.
The campaign for the antis was un-
der the direction Of the same machine
that helped Bailey. and likewise elect
ed o. B. Colquitt governor. and the op-
ponents of this machine. anxious to
build a stronger machine for the elec-
ton of their own governor and United
states senator at the next general cleo
ton. went in, hand and glove, with the
'pros."
The results of the election mean that
r. NJ. Campbell. late governor, viii be
Bailev's opponent for senator at the
next election.

False SWEARING At Inquiry.

Washington, July 24.-Perjury Of the
most barefaced character has been
committed in the investigation which
the Dillingham; senate committee is
making into the Lorimer case.
This fact stands out so prominently
that it is altogether probable the COM
m tee will take judicial notice of it. It
would not be at all surprising should
the committee, at the proper time, refer
to the district attorney in this city the
names Of a number Of witnesses be-
lieved to have been guilty Of swearing
falsely.
Such action is important, not alone
because of the Nervousness of the
crime itself but to enable the commit
tee to get at the truth of the charges
that Senator Lorimer was elected to
the United States senate from Illinois
as result of bribery and corruption.
Shields Central Figure.
One OF the men subpoenaed by the
committee is Bob" Shields. an insur-
ance agent and political lobbyist of SUI
perior, Wis. Christian f. Wiehe. broth
er-in-law Of Edward Hines, testified
that at his request Shields searched the
United States and Canada to find men
who were with Wiehe and William
Burgess in the smoking compartment
of a car attached to the Winnipeg flyer
on the night Of March last.
1t also was brought out that Shields
had obtained witnesses in litigation af-
fecting the Edward Hines Lumber
Company. and that the Superior poll
tician had been sent to Marquette,
Mich, to obtain an affidavit from Shell
ley B. Jones.
Burgess testified, 1t will be recalled.
that in the smoking compartment
wiehe told him he had contributed
$4,000 to Lorimer jackpot. -Four men
swore Jones had said Edward Hines
told him he had "put Lorimer over" as
a United States senator and had col
lected q fund of 100000 to do 1t.
To break down the testimony of Bur
gess Shields obtained affidavits from
Charles MCGOWAN, a young Canadian:
John b. Price, Of Seattle, Wash, both
Of whom have testified. and others.
Committee Seeking Shields.
Mr.. Shields is now sought by the
committee, and if he should be found
he will be put thru rigorous exami-
nation in connection with his visits to
MCGOWAN, Price and Jones. An affi-
dayit signed by Jones was obtained by
Shields, containing an absolute denial
of any conversation with Hines since
1907, and especially in reference to
Senator Lorimer.
Besides the Burgess and Jones mat
ters, an absolute conflict Of testimony
exists with reference to the celebrated
Union League club and Grand Pacific
hotel conversations. In the former.
Clarence S. Funk, general manager Of
the International Harvester Company,
testified Hines approached him and
asked him to contribute $4,000 to the
expenses Of Lorimer's election.
Hines, Fred Carney. Jr., a Wisconsin
,umberman; Isaac Baker, and Charles
l.. Hall, the last two men lumber buy
ers for the Hines company, swore Funk
approaches Hines, and taking Hines by
the left arm above the elbow, led him
