commission form of government were
really only puppets, unknowingly. OF
the business interests that would like
to have this form of government

Washington Best Governed City.
Attorney Norman interposed the ar
gument that this witty of the question
admitted that money was the only
real power and gave no credit for
the existence of a fair amount of hon
esty or public spirit among the people
of disinterestedness in the world. but
he believed there could be some de-
pendence placed upon the existence
of these qualities among the people.
He said we had got to trust the peo-
pie for finding out good man, and
he believed the plan of direct primar-
ion of Bryce that Washington. which
is governed By three commissioners.
is the. best governed city in the world.
Could Go Back to Old Form.
Some of the other criticism by the
socialist speakers was that there was
too little direct responsibility on the
mayor and it was also charged that
the commission form tended towards
oligarchic rather than democratic
government, to which Mr.. Norman
replied that if we expect men to do
anything we have got to give them
power enough to do it, and then hold
them strictly accountable for the per-
formance 70 the question OF what
would happen if the plan turned out a
failure, he said that we could go back
to the old form of government after
five years or the whole thing might
be turned upside down by the legis-
Iature at any time
After the vote of thanks had been
passed, the meeting adjourned.

BRITISH STRIKE
 GROWS MORE SERIOUS A NIGHT OF TERROR AT LIVER.
 POOL.
The Government Moves to Restore
 Industrial Tranquility.

Liverpool, Aug. 15.-A reign of ter TOT exists here tonight, and troops are pouring into the city to quell the dis orders. A special detail of guards is at the landing wharves of the trans Atlantic lines which, it is said the rioters threaten to detsroy with fire. Five prison vans carrying thirty-f five rioters, were attacked tonight by three thousand rioters, of the toughest class on Vaux Hall street. The mob threw missiles of every description, and de- lending themselves, the hussars fired At first blanks were used then ball. One man was killed and many wound ed. The troops then charged with sabres and cleared the streets. One daring rioter tried to unhorse an officer who shot the man, severely wounding him. The troops also fired on a mob on Bond street and wounded many, but here the affray was less serious. One mob tried to stop the street cars. and the riot act was read by the police. This was answered by a fusilade of stones and several po licemen were injured.
 After a meeting of the union tonight it was announced that a shortage of milk and flour was not desired by the union so a permit was given to move these on condition that union men were employed.
 Shipping is entirely paralyzed. The Lusitania, arrived tonight from New York but was unable to dock, owing to the strike of the dockmen and tug men. It is doubtful if the vessel will be able to coal in time to sail on Sat urday. The Celtic is in similar pre- dicament The company notified the passengers that they would probably be delayed.
 There are persistent rumors tonight that a mob set fire to a big steam ship. It is impossible to confirm 1t. After midnight troops and police at tackled a. barricade built on Nether- field street. The defenders of the bar ricade made stubborn resistence with bricks and stones and many were in- jured.

psIeaate Cameron Vindieassd.

When Delegate Cameron opposed the Fl pod resolution on the floor of the house of representatives on Il e ground that the president was op- posed to it and would not approve it, and that therefore to pass the resol- ut.on was to waste time and delay tue admission of Arizona, he was bit terly assailed by a little clique of politicians here at home. He was de- nounced as an enemy of statehood, people were told that he had be trayed' his constituents, and a vo- cabulary of billingsgate was drawn upon for the purpose of misleading the people of Arizona as to the atti tude of their representative in con- gross.
 Things have turned out precisely as predicted by MT. Cameron in his speech in the house. They have turn ed out precisely as predicted by him when he appeared before the senate committee on territories and begged that committee to so modify the F1oo1 resolution as to assure its approval by the president. The president has vetoed the resolution, exactly as MT Cameron said he would.
 The whole record made by MT. Cameron throughout the campaign for statehood has been record of consistent loyalty to Arizona, and ev- cry step taken by him has been taken inteIligently and with an accurate knowledge of what was necessary to be done by the people of the terri tory if they would scure the admis- sion of the territory.

GOVERNMENT WILL INTERVENE.

London. Aug 15.-The government Drepared today to take a hand in sett- ling the labor upheaval, the gravity of which is demanding unusual meas ures. There was a conference at the office of Premier Asquith with the heads of industry and trades unions' This afternoon there was also a con ference at the board of trade Of the strike committee and a committee or the board of trade Sydney Buxton nresident of the board, invited the rep resentatives of all railways and labor bodies to meet him tomorrow with a view of settling the differences.
 The intervention of the government did not come a moment too soon. ms is seen in the fact that tonight the Amalgamated Society of Railway Ser wants despite the agreement entered into in 1907 decided to call a general strike throughout the country, giving the companies twenty-four hours .o decide whether they are willing to meet the men to negotiate thelr grleV- ances.
 This is the reply of the men to the managers, who on Monday night de- cided to refuse all demands by the men. The situation is so serious that there is already talk of parliament prolonging the sessions in order 10 pass legislation dealing with industria' problems. The Manchester situation is said to be desperate tonight The city is practically cut off from ran There are said 10 pe 95 600 carters on strike there.

Seattle, Aug. 15.-Customs officials have informed secret treasury off cials that the country is beaten out of millions of dollars by the undervalu- ation of imports of Japanese crockery and curios A careful investigation is being made and a large consignment from Morimura brothers, of Kobe to it's New York house is held here. A similar shipment is held at Tacoma, while at san Francisco five hundred cases of oriental wares consigned to the same firm, alleged to be vastly undervalued, are held.
 Tonight it was staed that S2 cases of imported merchandise are held up pending an investigation into the valuations placed upon them. All are owned by Morimura Brothers It is said that the Morimuras had no trouble, and never had, with the government regarding shipments.
