THE HOUSE
OF LORDS
WILL FALL
UNITED PRESS LEASED WIRE. |

London, July 4-Banking on the
belief that King George sooner
would vacate his throne than create
500 more liberal peers to pass the
veto bill over the protests of the
present house of lords, leaders in
that archaic body today stand fatty
opposed to the Asquith government.
Having passed Lord Lansdown's S
amendments to the veto measure, de-
manding a referendum on that as
well as on home rule, the lords are
apparently ready to stand off, all de-
fiant to the last
The Tories say King Georges
promise to create the new peers is
only a conditional one. The liber-
ais say it is absolute, and that, if it
become necessary, it will be done.
The liberals have also decided up
on vigorous counter campaign.
They refuse to accept the lords
amendments, demanding referen-
DUN, saying that the last general
election was, in effect, just that. A
set timetable will be adhered to in
the house of commons, the lords
amendment will be summarily dis
posed of, and If the lords continue
to obstruct legislation the veto ques-
tion will be at once brought to an
issue, the 500 new peers will be
dumped into the upper house, and
that body, thus metamorphosed, will
proceed to carry through at once the
liberal legislation. which has ben de-
layed for years.

CONCERNING
PLAYGROUND
BOULEVARD

For the purpose of determining
whether it is feasible to create a
boulevard to the State Fair grounds
from North Capitol and then on
through to the Garden road or tc
extend North Capitol street straight
through, the street committee this
afternoon made an investigation Of
both routes and will report back its
findings to the council at it's next
meeting
For some time there has been an
agitation for boulevard along Cap
itol street to the fair grounds and II
can be created either by connecting
the street up with the Garden road
or extending it straight through. II
is understood that number of prop
erty owners are demonstrating
against the extension of the street
and it was to ascertain the truth OF
this that the tour was made this af-
ternoon by the committee.

Coal Strike Settled.

Spokane, Wash, July 4.-That the
big strike of coal miners in the SOU
thern part of Alberta, Canada, and
in the Crows Nest Pass has been set
tied, was reported yesterday from
Nelson, B. G.
Spokane and other Northwest
cities were threatened with a serious
coal famine as result of the strike.
1t is understood that the operators
have agreed to offer the day mine
workers an increase of per cent in
wages, and 1t is said that the miners
will accept such terms.
The dispute which led to the strike
was one of wages and also the ques-
ton of CLOSED shop On March 2, at
conference in Calgary, the opera
tors ultimatum was an increase Of 5
per cent on the wages to all classes.
The expiring agreement had min
imurl wage Of SO for an eight-hour
day, bank to bank, which the men
declared often worked out at $3.50.
The miners asked for an increase of
1914 per cent.
In addition to wages and hours a
protest has been raised against the
open shop, principally by the Crows
Nest Fuel company
H. G.. Ferris, of the Crows Nest
Fuel company, of Spokane, said to-
day that unless the strike had been
settled shortly there would have un-
doubtedly been a coal famine in the
city this winter.

TAKE A SLAP
AT GAME WARDEN

Seattle, Wash, July 4.-King coun-
ty commissioned yesterday requested
the resignation of Gamewarden H.
G. Kelley This action was taken on
a petition signed by more than so
sportsmen, requesting the reinstate-
ment of H. Rief whom Kelley sue
ceeded on January 0.
The real trouble with Kelley is de-
clared to be that he is not a hunting
man himself and therefore is not in
sympathy with them The gist of the
petition is that he had $4,000 on hand
when he took office and that it is all
gone now, with nothing to show for
it. Game and fish, says the petition,
are being illegally taken in many in
stances.
Rief had to yield to Kelley when
Commissioners David Mckenzie and
M. L. Hamilton entered Office as pol
itical allies. Hamilton voted today
for the request, with Commissioner
A. L. Rutherford, while Mckenzie

WHERE BINGER HERMANN
MADE HIS FIRST SPEECH

According to writeup in the Ban
don Recorder of June 80, giving a
description Of the second celebration
of the Fourth of July in Coos coun-
ty, Binger Hermann, then youth of
II, made his first speech, and
brought tears to the eyes of the
tough old back woodsmen of that
time by his powerful depletion Of
the sufferings of the Americans at
Valley Forge, and other historic
points during the revolution. The
writer intimates that the Siwashes
tried to weep, but passed the job
along to the pack horses, who did a
good stunt at 1t. 1t was unfortunate
for the people, for Bingers tongue
never forgot its use as a paint brush
after that.

BREED rHEArER.

The Little Circus Rider, the feature picture of the Breed today, is dis finct and attractive novelty in this city. It tells a forceful story of two rustic lovers, who attend the circus, which is visiting their town. The girl, aspiring for broader fields. secures a position with the white topped city, and her lover, hearing of it, also se- cures position, being engaged as hostler. One day., while the girl is riding in the ripsf she falls from the horse. and is hurriedly carried from the ring, the only sympathixing per- son being her oid-time lover, now the hostler. She is brought to realize that with all. the glamour. there is little real sincerity, and recognizes in her old friend the true prineiples of man. hood that make their. future happiness assured.
 This is about the first picture of its kind to be made, and shows many in- fsresting views of the daily life with a travelling circus.
