brought Mrs. Hall here to testify.
The announcement on Monday night
bv counsel for the defence that the city

nronv Of other witnesses craned their
necks to catch every word the witness
SPOKE. After he was called TO the stand
Mr.. Steuer insisted on reading to the
turv Mr.. MOTIFS notes. made at the time
of his visit 10 w. O. Hall. in Wilkes
Rarre. That took some time. and Nj
Hvde sat waiting with a bored express
sion.
IN answer to Mr.. Steuer's questions
Mr. HYDE first denied that he had ever
visited Scranton or Wilkes-Barre In MS

nev. a Vanderbilt, James Il. heene ana

Il never did" Mr.. Hyde replied.
Did you ever participate in any cor
ruption fund or subscribe 10 any sucn
fund at such a dinner or anywhere
else?" asked Mr.. Steuer
Il never cid" the witness repeated.
After he had denied in detail the Elder
and Hall stories Mr.. Steuer turned the
witness over 10 Mr.. Mott for cross-eN-
animation. Mr.. Mott asked him II ne
had ever heard Of legislators being Of
fered bribes to defeat the racing oiIAs
and Mr.. HYDE replied, smilingly; I've
been reading the newspapers for the las
two years"
Mr. Mott did not ask him if he had
oone so during the time he spent on
houseboat in Florida.

FULL TEXT OF MEASURE
First Step in Electing Lords by
Vote of PeOple.

The following Is the full text OF the Par
lament Dill introduced by the Liberal gov
ernment in April. 1910 and again yesterday.
II is described as "a bill TO make provision
with respect, 10 the powers OF the House Of
Lords in relation 10 those of the House Of
Commons, and to limit the duration Of Par
Lament"
Preamble.
Whereas Ii IS eXpedient that provision
should be made for regulating the relations
between the two houses OF Parliament; and
Whereas, II Is intended 10 substitute Tor
the House Of Lords as ii at present exists
a Second Chamber, constituted on a popu-
lar .ns,eaG or hereditary Lasis, but such
substitution cannot be Immediately brought
into operation and.
Whereas, provision VIII require hereafter
20 be mad" by Parliament in \ measure
cffectlng such substitution for limiting and
denuing the powers OF the new Second
Chamber. but 1t is expedient 70 make such
provision as in this act appears Tor re-
strictng the existing powers of the House
of Lords,
BE ii. therefore. Enacted 10y the Kings
most excellent majesty. by and with the
advice ana consent Of the Lords spiritual
and temporal. and Commons. in TINS pres
ent Parliament assembled, and by the au-
thorty OF the same as follows:
l. % If a money bill, having been passed
by the House of Commons and sent up TO
the House Of Lords al least one month be-
fore the end OF the session, is not passed
BY the House of Lords without amendment
within one month after it is so sent up 70
that house. the bill shall. unless the House
Of Commons direct 70 the contrary, De pre-
scented TO his majesty and become an act
OF Parliament on the royal assent beins sig .
nifed, Notwithstanding that the House of
Lords have not consented 10 the bill.

ing with all or any Of the following sub
jects. namely, the imposition, repeal. re-
mission. alteration or regulation OF taxa

cou'o not await release from the dan
gerous and intolerable situation until the
long and laborious process necessary for
the creation OF q new second chamber had
been completed Mr. Asquith added:
defence Of Speedy Action.
rs all progressive legislation. though
clearly desired and demanded by the peo-
pie. to come to a standstill pending the
evolving OF new second chamber? We
say No. and the country has said NO
twice.
1T is asserted that the governments
proposal will have the effect OF enabling a
despotc single chamber TO ride roughsnod
over the electorate. and the government is
charged with enthroning. under the sub
tie disguise OF democratic forms, a power
which would enthrau and set at naught the
very spirit OF democracy. Such a view is
one OF the most unsuDstantial Nightmares
that ever afflicted the Imagination.
The Premier added that the political
fortunes OF the representatives OF the gov
ernment were at stake. BY delay TO pro-
vide bill for the purpose now sought the
government had guarded against ali risks
OF measure which could be condemned by
the people as having been arbitrarily snug
sled into law. He concluded: The gov
eminent presents this bill as the first and
most urgent step that ii can take toward
the attainment OF perfection"
The Premier was followed by A. ]. Bal
four The leader Of the opposition COM
mented on the absence of all evidence OF
conciliatory spirit in the Premiers speech.
All we're agreed, he said. that there should
be a modification OF the relations of the
two houses, but the reconsttution of the
House Of Lords should be the subject Of
cautious dellberation. The bicameral sys-
TEN must prevail. and the House OF
Hereditary Principle Upheld.
Mt Balfour said that he was convinced
that some leaven of hereditary was neces-
sary for the second chamber lie desired
a peaceful arrangement by agreement,
and he would much prefer to settle great
struggle without controversial violence.
which it was especially desirable TO avoid
in a coronation year. but there were some
issues so great that no compromise was
possible. and If fought out. they must be
carried over the heads OF the Cnionist party.

Of the principle of hereditary membership
must remain in the second chamber. Mr..
Baifour said that he distrusted the policy
OF making the House Of Lords purely
elective body. In no country, in neither
the United States nor France. had that
peen found consistent with the predomi-
name Of the lower house. If. therefore,
II was wished that the House Of Commons
dominate. the hereditary principle should

James Ramsey Macdonald. chairman OF
