Bill Passes House Of Lords by
I"
Narrow Margin.
VOTE STANDS At 1871 TO ia
Struggle Begun Two Years AGO Ends
in Radical Change in Great Brit
aims Working Constitution.

London Aug. 11.-Premier Asquith's
government, which claims to repre-
sent the democracy of Great Britain,
enforced its will on the peerage by
the narrow vote of 131 to ia.
BY this vote the house of lords de.
c1ded to accept what the Liberals con-
tend is the will of the people and
adopted Viscount Morley's motion not
to insist on the lords amendments to
the parliamentary bill, which prac-
tically limits the power of the house
of lords to two-year suspensory veto
and vastly increases the prerogatives
OF the house of commons.
The great constitutional struggle
that began when the house of lords
nearly two years ago rejected the
budget of David Lloyd-George, chan
cellor of the exchequer, is ended for a
time at least and with the greatest
change to Great Britain's working con-
stitution since the passage Of the re-
form BILL
The process of voting consumed
nearly an hour and the result trembled
in the balance until the last moment.
The Idle hards" mustered greater
strength than was expected and the
government owes it's victory to the
votes of between twenty and thirty
Conservatives who threw in their lot
with the Liberals to save their own
caste from loss of prestige and the
king from the necessity of exercising
the royal prerogative for the creation
of large sumber of new peers, from
which every one believes he was ex-
tremely anxious to be saved.
A resolution to pay members of the
house of commons $4,000 annually for
their services was carried by a vote
of 256 to 1859.
The resolution was moved by Chan
cellor Lloyd George, who said Great
Britain was the only country in the
world that did not pay members for
their work in parliament, which now
adays is so strenuous the members
have little time to attend to anything
else

WILL VETO STATEHOOD BILL
President Taft Opposed to judiciary
Recall Feature.

Washington, Aug. 10.-Presfdent
Taft will veto the New Mexico-Arizo-
ma statehood resolution as passed by
the senate. Democratic leaders of
both house and senate declare, how
ever, that they could marshal enough
votes to pass the measure over a veto.
The president indicated some time
ago that he would take this action
unless the Nelson amendment was
adopted, This amendment would have
required the people of Arizona, as a
condition of statehood, to vote down
the provision in their constitution for
the recall of judges. The amendment
was defeated and the senate passed
the bill as it came from the house.
simply requiring that vote be taken
on the recall feature.

MARTIAL Law IS PROBABLE.

Liverpool, Aug. 15.-Rioting was re-
sumed after night filled with VIC
lence and bloodshed.
Mob spirit ruled everywhere. With
the police and soldiery wearied afterI
the all night struggle the mob began
In the early morning to loot barrooms
and provision shops.
A score Of shops were entered after
the doors and windows had been
smashed. Liquor increased the anger
OF the mob.
The police and soldiers, by frequent
charges, with clubs swinging and
bayonets fixed, finally cleared the
streets and restored a semblance of
order.
Many were injured in the charges
and more than 100 arrested.
The authorities sent out word that
the entire city will be placed under
martial law and order restored with
powder and ball If necessary.
At daylight all manner of vehicles
were impressed into service to remove
the wounded, many of whom lay on
the pavements in pools of blood. One
hundred and seventy-fve, of whom
twenty were policemen, were treated
at hospitals for serious injuries.
One policeman is dead and scores
of strikers are suffering from frac-
tured skulls.
Worst in History of Country.
The rioting was the worst clash be-
tween workers and civil authorities in
the history of the country.
Driven from one stronghold the
mobs reformed in the narrow streets
and it was impossible for the police
to drive them out. Wearied with
fighting the troops the mobs turned
their attention to the destruction Of
property. While some looted shops
others set fire to two houses in Gi-
rard street. The mob cheered as they
burned and refused to allow f1remen
or police to extinguish the flames.
The "Hooligan" element led the mobs
and the frantic appeals of the strike
leaders were futile
Further troops from the Yorkshire
regiment and the Warwickshire Yeo-
many arrived in the city shortly after
daylight and were at once rushed into
the streets.
The outbreak followed trivial &C.
ton of the police in maintaining order
during the demonstration of 100000
strikers at st. Georges hall.
An unusual scene was presented in
police court when 100 men and wom-
on rioters, arrested during the clashes,
were arraigned. Many had their
heads bandaged and their clothes
torn to shreds. Nearly all were SEN
fenced to Jail terms, some getting as
long as three months.

POPE SUFFERS A
SLIGHT RELAPSE
Physicians Hurried|y Summoned
to His Bedside.

Rome, Aug. 13.-Pope Plus suffered
Z slight relapse during the night and
his physicians were hurriedly sum-
moned to the bedside by DR.. Amici,
who kept vigil in the sick chamber.
DR.. Petacci at once administered an
Injection of caffeine, which strength
ened the heart action and removed
any immediate danger.
After the injection his holiness rest
ed more easily, but took very little
nourishment
Doctors Petacci and Machiafava,
while making no statement, showed
their disappointment and anxiety be-
cause the pope had not made the i'm
provement they had expected.
As a result they have ordered that
the pope hold no audiences of any
kind and all church matters are held
In allowance.

-FOUR COUNTIES VOTE TO EN-
PLOY VISITING NURSES
FOR TUBERCULOSIS.

One of the few bright spots in the
record OF the late legislature was the
passage of the law authorizing county
boards of commissioners to employ or
contribute toward the support Of a
visiting nurse to give instruction in
the home of the consumptive so as to
avoid the spread of the disease to other
mem bers of the family and to limited
extent take the place of hospital treat
ment.
This law is Chapter 116, Laws of
1911, introduced in the Senate.
While visiting nursing is by no
means as effective measure to combat
| the white plague as provision of hospi-
tails and sanatoria, the bill for which
the Legislature turned down, yet it is a
good half way measure and the law
providing for it will dc a great deal of
good. Four counties have already TAX
en- advantage of this law and appropri-
ated enough money to start the work.
The counties are Marshall, Stevens
Todd and kandiyohl.
1t the work proves successful as
surances have been given that enough
money to put the work On permanent
basis will be forthcoming.
Those who are familiar with the
surroundings OF consumptives IN the
country will appreciate the need OF ex-
tending visiting nursing to the coun-
try. In Dunn county, Wisconsin, a
canvas showed only II per cent OF
consumptives having separate room
and Is per cent sleeping three in a
room. The use Of common dipper in
such families is probably the rule and
sterilization Of dishes and body linen
unhea1d OF in most of them. Splitting
into containers open to flies is another
common practice. The delicate brother
or baby sister of the consumptive con-
stantly exposed to infection IN these
ways can hardly hope to escape the
disease. Carelessness is not by any
means confined to the poorer families,
Nine out of ten ccnsumptive homes
need rearrangement under expert
supervision and it is very gratifying
that rural as we'll as urban communi.
ties are beginning to take this view of
the situation.
