HOUSE OF COMMONS REFUSES TO LISTEN

this country from expressing any new verdict on a question which has twice been expressed in their verdict on home rule. With light heart the prime minister puts the crown under compulsion, on an excuse so thoroughly trumpery and ct ntemptible that it would not justify the creation of a sim gle peer"
 MT. Balfour accused Premier Asquith of dragging the crown in the dust and of abusing The confidence of the sovereign.
 Sir Edward Grey, the foreign secre- tary, usually the 1t-ildest member of the cabinet, folio wed with a ringing eX- pression of the najority's loyalty to the premier. He also had hearing. He spoke in a voice tense with passion.
 Never did any leader of the party In majority in the house of commons" said the secretary, have behind him a more chiyalrous personal loyalty or a more united political support than the prime minister has at this moment. The feelings of the majority are deep and strong on this question. The members of the op- position may easily imagine whether those feelings are less strong after the scene we have witnessed. Insofar as 1, was a personal dscourtesy to the prime minister everyone of us resents it. The leader of the opposition has spoken of the ulterior consequences of our action ulterior conduct such as we have wit messed will tend to undermine and de- stroy the house of commons.
 Course Announced
 s'The prime minister continued Sir Edward, ''has announced the course of the government If arguments are to be used in support of that course they are to be used by the prime minister as rep resenting all the majority-ther is not one of us who will attempt to take his place. Tremendous cheering) I trust at some future occasion even the extremist section may feel that it is the house of commons that is at stake and the debate may be resumed, but for the moment there is nothing to be done but indorse the course the prime minister has an- nounced, which we are all prepared to do. I propose to close our proceedings by moving an adjournment"
 F. D. Smith jumped to his feet and for five minutes the house was pandemonium, Smith speaking alternately to the chai- and with outstretched finger to John Redmond, who replied only by derisive gestures. Not word spoken by Smith could be heard. Finally the speaker oo- tained hearing enough to read the rule and declare the house adjourned

They fear it will compiicate the situation by increasing the determination of their opponents and alienating the sympathies of the country The demonstration was wholly unexpected and all conservatives recognize tonight that their party is facing an extreme crisls-one which may result in a split n the party and which will leave it, instead Of strong minority, hopeless minority

GROWING DEMAND FOR METAL ROOFS Especially Notable in the
 Rural Sections MANY ADVANTAGES Harry Fulenwider Calls Attention to Growing Use of Metal Roofs
 by Farmers and Citi-
 zens Generally
ADVANTAGES

"A significant tendency of the times is shown by the increasing amount of metal roofing used in rural communities and smaller towns" said MT. Harry F'ulen- wider. treasurer of the East Birmingham Iron Roofing and Corrugating company.
 "-'he feature is plainly indicated by the large increase in the percentage of orders received by us from dealers in small coun- try towns for the farmers and citizens if thei" districts. Our receipts from such sources having been augmented sufficient ly in the last SO days to make the tendency apparent.
 Tn the mind of the observant man in- teresting deducations arise from this fact. One Is that the rural communities, vil- lages and towns are more prosperous than in the recent past, a condition cor roborated by the reported bumper crops from many sections. Another is the pro- tectve feature is being more and more realized by those who own their own homes, metal roofs being insurance in then selves against fire and other minor troubles with which all who live under SHlilElt IOOlS dlt COlNtlSdhl NdltS lOi insurance are lower, too. on metal-covered dwellings.
 "A good metal roofing is leak-proos
 wind-proof. rust-proof and above every
 thing else, fire-proof, and as this fact be
 comes more widely disseminated the de- mana for such material will grow apace. | 'It gives a man in the rural districts. say miles from the nearest fire-fighting
 machines, a great feeling of security to know that his dwelling Is safe from 1 that source of alarm which gives more trouble in the country than any other, destructive fires
 Statistics show that 42 per cent of the
 residence fires in the southern states originated in the roof, an appalling per centage when all is considered. There
 are so many other legitimate uses for | lumber, and in many channels the de- | mand Is growing, that 1t is not knock l ing the old-fashioned shingle to advo- i cate metal roofing in the ordinary sense
 of the word and the greater protection from danger or damage by fire makes
 it far more consistent in dealers in both
 to advocate the latter.
 "The growth of the demand for metal
 roofing in the smaller communities, in connection with the inferences drawn
 above, indicate another thought-the in
 crease In the adoption of up-to-date
 methods in the farmers life in many ways, metal roofings increased use be- 1 ing significant of that tendency also"

MT. Hines explained that the sheet of
 paper had been enclosed to him in an
 other letter from Mir. Boutell. The letter
 was brought from Chicago with bundle
 of papers, MT. Hines testified.
 "Doesn't the letter with which this sheet
 was sent show the date?'' "Well, as this sheet was regarding my
 personal affairs. it was separated from
 the letter in which it came.
 When was it written?" asked Senator
 Jones. Sa sometime after Mir Lorimer's e1ec- tion. You will notice a water mark on this letter. by which 1t might be traced. q met Mir Boutell on the way to the White House." said Hines. 'He said ne was going to the White House to tell the President that 1t looked as if Lorimer was the only man upon whom the fac tions could unite and to ask the President to help him."
 Mir. Hines in his previous testimony had said that Former Senator Aldrich told him the President. was anxious to have Lorimer elected. MT. Aldrich last week testified he told Hines the President mere ly said Lorimer was not objectionable as a candidate.
 Hines was asked about his efforts las, winter to induce senators to vote in favor of Lorimers retaining his seat Senator Kern called attention to a tele- gram 10 fi1HeS lroIn Lynn n. DlcRlnS, banker or New Orleans, dated February II, 1911 It read:
