In formal official terms that q mes

ment to the bill proposed by the house

This will be recorded in the doings
Of parliament as the greatest victory
achieved by Liberal prime minister

give the credit to Premier Asquith's
audacious policy.
The great constitutional struggle
ended last night when the house of

insist on the lords amendments to-
the veto bill, the purpose Of which Is
to restrict the powers Of the upper
chamber over legislation originating
in the lower house, and which may
result, among other things. in home
rule for ireland. The veto bill .prac-
tically limits the authority Of the
house of lords to a two years sus-
pensory veto and greatly increased

might be reached today.
Much time was spent in composing
the difference. In the beginning Of
the conference, Senator LaFollette
urged thirty per cent on the ordinary
raw wool and Chairman Underwood
asserted that he could not exceed the
instructions of the ways and means
committee not to consent to higher
duty than 27 1-2 per cent. There was
much wrangling over the classifca-
ton. Ultimately Senator Bailey sug-
Gent. Immediately Mr. Underwood
said he would accept 20 per cent IL

county Jail to await trial in the dis
trict court, charged with murder in
the first degree, in having caused
the death of James Franklin Ross,
whom it is charged he shot last
March.
The preliminary hearing was held
before Justice J. D. Hond and oc-
cupied the entire morning, not be-
ing concluded until this afternoon.
Clerk Of Court B. D Boyd was the
only witness called.
The principal evidence introduc-
ed was the dying declaration Of the
victim, which was made shortly be-
fore his death last week. In this
statement is told the story of how
Cooper shot him In the back and the
statement is also made that Ross
knew Of no reason for the act. The
quarrel on the day before the shoot
ing is described as trivial.
Attorney P. G. Swenson of Hillsboro
and Attorney Tracy R. Bangs of

ant and States Attorney Mickey con-

Mr.. Frick'S fe6ignation from the

accurate, was snct due to friction with

has been subjected, was the result Of
their large dividend disbursements.
This Is denied by Mr.. Frick's fellow
directors In Union Pacific, who say
that he retlres, with genuine regret
and the kindliest feelings.
Mr.. Frick's retirement from the
Union Pacific may be likened to the
withdrawal Of the Rockefeller inter-
ests from United States steel. When
John D. Rockefeller retired from that

that the Rockefellers deemed their
