HOT WORDS IN COMMONS
Opposition Leaves House in a
Body as Protest to Closure,

London, Nov. 20.-There was re-
markablo scene in the House of Com
mons tonight. when the government sp-
piled the "guillotine" 70 40 amendments
in the report stage of the insurance bill.
Andrew Bonar Law, leader of the OPP
position, heatedly accused the ministers
Of acting in obedience TO the Redmond
ties in f1outing Parliament I'm order 10
clear the road for Home Rule for Ire
land. David Lloyd George, the Chancel-
lor OF the Exchequer as hotly replied
that the government was only following
the example set by Unionlst govern
ments.
The excitement was intense. and the
members faced the prospect OF a division
on each amendment, when. on the
Speaker putting the first amendment
tn, entire Opposition rose and made a
dramatic exit from the chamber, pur-
sued by derisive ministerial cheering
Then in a dreary monotone the Speaker
began formally putting the amendments
and when he became fatigued the Dep
utv Speaker relieved him. The entire
40 amendments were rejected, and In
only a single case was a division ctal-
lenged by the Laborites.
This concluded Part | OF the bill. The
remaining parts will be "guilotined" TO-
morrow.

CHARGES COME UP DEC. II
Counsel Retained by Both Sides
Paris Press Not Printing
Prof Langevins S Letters.

Paris, Nov. N--Although the Curis case
is the subject Of considerable personal con-
versatlon and gossip france is not show
Ing an extraordinary interest therein and
there are no present indications that IT will
develop into cause celebre.
The Paris newspapers have as yet made
no mention of any letters supposed to have
been written by Professor Langevin to
Nine. Curie They have not been printed.
first, because this is prohibited py law. and,
second, because the publication Of private
correspondence concerning close personal
relations is distinctly against the French
Interpretation Of honor and propriety.
Meantime Nine. Langevin, who has
brought charges In connection with the
case against her husband and Nine. Curie,
has found a stout defender in Gustave
Thery, who publishes weekly q violent
anti-Semitc pamphlet entitled The
Louvre" Thery, like Nine. Curie's hus-
band. who was killed in a street accident
several years ago. was a strong Drey-
fusard while that celebrated case Was be
fore the public. and has in later years de-
voted himself to snti-Semitic polemics He
formerly was a professor in one Of the
Paris colleges and is well known in some
educational circles.
In a statement issued to-day Thery in
ssts again that al attempt is being made
10 sthe the Curie case, charging that
powerful and redoubtsble enemies grouped
about the Sorbonne" stand guard over the
courts TO prevent justice.
The charges which Nine LanEevin has
brought against her husband and Nine
Curie will come up in court on December
Poncare to defend the action, while Pro-
fcssor Langevin has selected Alexandra
Millerand as his lawyer.
Thery contends that Nine Lsngevin's .
life has been a vertibe Calvary" wherein
she has suffered from campaign of
shameful criminal suggestion on the part
Of a woman. which reached a climax In
ali attempt to steal her children from her.
AS the French divorce laws make II diff
cult TO reach "a husband under certain cir
cumstances he concludes that the com"
planant's only course was to summon
Common Correctional Court as the only
possible remedy for her moral and physi-
cal torture" which has extended over Pc
riod of years
In contrast with the attacks IN Thery'r
pamphlet La Vic Heureuse," a promi-
nent monthly publication. devoted TO
women's interests. to-day prints a large
portrait Of Nine. Curie the recipient OF
the Nobel prize in chemistry and praises
her as beautiful type of woman.

USED AWFUL CUSS WORDS.
West Indian Negro Almost Started
Riot on the Waterfront.

The extensive vocabulary of John Pol
lard. three-hundred-p pound West Indian
negro, caused disturbance aboard the
ice schooner James w. Baul, jr., at
the 9th street wharf yesterday, ant
for time other members of the crew
and persons in the vicinity thought a
riot call to the police would be neces-
sary to check the rumpus he was rails
ing.
Such was the quality of Pollard's
profanity and so loudly did he deliver
himself of it, that even the hardened
workers aboard the ship became fright
ened, and some of those on the wharf
summoned the police
Whats all this trouble about?" asked
Policeman Osterman of the harbor pre-
cinct of Pollard
None of your business was the lat
ter's prompt response
A statement of the policeman's official
position failed to impress the West
Indian. who soon retreated to the gal
ley, and said something about using his
razor. Policeman Preston took hold of
Pollard to place him under arrest,
whereupon the negro dealt Preston q
stunning blow and slightly cut his face.
Lieut.. Dean and Policeman Lewis were
soon on hand. and Pollard, little worse
for the treatment administered him, was
finally led away TO the patrol wagon
Jefferson, also colored, who was of the
opinion that his sailor friend had only
maintained his rights on the water, en-
couraged him III the stand he took, the
police say, and INDUCED in profanity
enough to justify his arrest.

The Commissioners have recommended

west of 10Th street,

Senate District committee that they give
their opinion on the meaure. Although
the land through which it would be ex-
tended Is not subdivided. its shape and
situation are such that IL is improbable
the street could ever he acquired by dedi-
cation. 1t Is probable that the develop

be retarded until this extension Is made
Practically all other streets as laid down
on the highway plan in this vicinity have
been acquired and the Commissioners be-
Teve that this small extension should be
made"
y frame residence is II the line of the
extension and will have to be acquired
but il is believed that the total cost Will
not lie more than S. 800, which IS to be
assessed against nearby property as ben
