VETO BILL PASSED
 BY HOUSE OF LORDS.
Premier Asquitt1 Wins in ParIia ment
 by Narrow Margin.

London, Aug. 10.-Premier Asquith's government, which claims to represent the democracy of Great Britain, to- night enforced it's will upon the peer age by the narrow vote of 131 to 114.
 By this vote the house of lords de- Gided to accept what the liberals con- tend is the will of the people and adopted Viscount Morley's motion not 10 insist upon the lords amendment to the parliamentary bill which prac- tlcally limits the power of the house of lords to a two years suspensory veto and vastly increases the prerog- atives of the house of commons.
 The great constitutional struggle, which began when the house of lords nearly two years ago rejected the budget of David Lloyd George, chan cellor of the exchequer, is extended for time at least and with the greatest change to Great Eritain's working constitution since the history of the re- form bill.
 The voting consumed nearly an hour and the result was in doubt until the last moment. The die hards" muster ed greater strength than the prophets had anticipated and the governme 1t owes it's victory to the votes of be- dween 20 and 30 conservatives wno threw in their lot with the liberals to save their own caste from loss of pres 1ige by a great increase in it's numbers and the king from the necessity of tn 9 exercise of the royal prerogative, from which everyone believes he was most anxious to be saved

Pa, Aug. 1o.-Officers of the Priests Total Abstinence league were elected here today at meeting held in connection with the fist an- nual convention of the Catholic Total Abstinence union of America.

 At a business session Rev. M. J. Mo Kenna of Springfield, Mass, and Rev. J. F. Cassidy of Fall River clashed on the saloon question. Father Mckenna said the possibility of abolishing the saloons is sentimental rot" and he de- cFared the rich to be the real drunk ards" The only effect of the abolish ing of the saloons. he said. would De to deprive the Norkingman of his glass of beer, while the rich would still drink in their homes.
 Father Cassidy deplored the utter ance of such sentiments on the con- vention floor, he said, and he asked the delegates to work for legislation that would wipe out the saloon.
 Father Cassidy came out for woman suffrage, declaring when the women vote. the saloon will go.''
 Officers of the national union will be elected tomorrow morning.

POLICE CALLED TO QUELL RIOT AMONG DEMOCRATS.
1 Now Jersey State Committee Forces l Chairman Nusent Out of Office.

Asbury Park, N. J., Aug. 10-Four- teen members of the democratic state committee, the exact number neces- sary for 3. quorum, voted this afternoon ito declare vacant the chairmanship ot the organization, occupied by James R. Nugent, who was recently asked to re- sign because of his alleged reference to Governor Woodrow Wilson as "an ingrate" and in other opprobrious terms. Their action followed rioting,
 which the police were called upon to quell,. and was taken after Nugent and a supporter had left the room and the quorum had been re- e-established by other members of the committee.
 The meeting was called to order by Nugent, who claims that he was not officially notified that it would be held.
 The -rioting followed an attempt on the part of Nugent sympathizers, non
 members of the committee, to eject from the room James c. Kraft, an anti Nugent man, who declared he held the proxy of William F. Davis of Camden.
 Kraft was hauleG out, re-entered the
 room, and was put out again, Nugent
 declaring that his proxy was "a fake"
 Following the departure of Nugent and the re- establishing of a quorum, Vice Chairman Willis put the question.
 which was unanimously carried, along
 with the proposal to fill the vacancy on

Good Outlook for Tobacco Crop. Especial to The BulIetin.)

Washington, August 10.-Victor H. Oimstead, chief of the bureau of sta- tistics of the department of agricul- ture, in his tobacco report dated July ], but just made public, says that the New England acreage this year is 4 per cent. larger than that of last year. Plants, he says. were more plentiful, but on account of cool weather in the first part of May were not so early as last season, and planting began later. Because of abundant moisture and favorable weather, transplanting was pushed rapidly. and finished about the same time ss in 1910. Some damage was done by cutworrns and wireworms but replainting was prompt and a good stand secured. Propitious weather aft CT planting was conductive to rapid and uniform growth; the prospect is for one of the best crops produced in this district in several years. The 1000 acres in shade-grown tobacco repre- sents fourfold increase over the area of the previous year. There has also been small increase in the broad leaf acreage, but a falling off in Ha- vana seed.
 The acreage for Connecticut is given as 14,0O0, and the condition as 96 per cent. perfect, which is one per cent. above the average for the last ter years.

ACTOR FINNEY RAN
 INTO FIERY FURNACE. Had He Remained in Bathroom His Life Would Have Been Spared.

London, Aug. 10.-An examination made today of the corridor of the Carl ton hotel, in which the body of Jame- son Lee F'inney was found, followin g the fire in the hotel last night showed that the bathroom in which the young actor was bathing when the alarm was given was not touched either by fire or water, and even the door to the room had not been scorched. Had the actor remained there. he could easily have been rescued by the firemen, who ran up a ladder to within few feet of the bathroom window. On the other hand, the corridor into which he rushed in terror was a seething mass of flames.
 A committee of English actors has been appointed to cooperate with MT. Finney's friends in making arrange ments for the funeral.
 After a careful examination the man agement of the Carlton today estimat- ed the loss caused by the fire and Wa ter at between $250,000 and S300,000, completely covered by insurance, which also includes the belongings of the guests.

To Avert Financial Panics.

That one great stride toward avert ing financial panicS in New York could be made if the government would prevent banks in Chicago and the middle west leaning money on call in New York during the summer a. cheap rates and suddenly calling :, back in the fall for the crop movement making high money and troubled New York market.
 Advocates Government Bureau.
 That the establishment of a gov ernment bureau which could give ac- curate informa tion to the public as to the condition of corporations would be an active inducement to the people to make wise investments.
 A Striking Development.
 That one of the most striking de- velopments of the present system of conducting business on a large scale is the dividing of great interests into the hands of many investors rather than concentrating them in the hands of a few"
 Emphatic in His Observations.
 MT. Perkins made the foregoing ob- serwations during the third day of his examination by the committee, and he was often eloquent and forceful. He frequently emphasized his remarks by waving his arms, pounding upon the witness table with his fists and rising from his seat to address the commit tee. When the committee adjourned late today it had not concluded with MT. Perkins. though he has been held longer by the committee than any wit ness since the hearing began last May. He will be called again tomorrow.
 An "Infamous FaIsehood."
 MT. Perkins made other interesting statements. He denounced as an in famous falsehood" the charge that the panic of 1907 was precipitated for the purpose of ruining certain bankers

Director Perkins of Steel Trust Tells How
 Government Can Avert Them
AT STEEL TRUST INVESTIGATION
Prevent Loaning of Money at Cheap Rates in Sum- mer and Calling it Back Suddenly For Crop Move nent, He Says-Sherman Anti Trust Law Great Menace to all Big Corporations, He Declares.

Washington, Aug. 10.-George W. Perkins, financier and director of the United States Steel corporation, made some striking recommendations today with reference to the government s control of corporations. As a witness before the house steel trust" investi- Eating committee, he declared that ex- iSting laws were seriously threatening big business interests and their rigid enforcement was rendering 1t impossi- ble for corporations to continue opera tions in conformity with the statutes.
 Great Corporations Cannot Exist
 Mir. Perkins went over a wide range of subjects. Some of his observations follow:
 That great corporations, grown up under demands of existing conditions, could no longer successfully exist un- der the Sherman antitrust law as now figidly enforced.
 Red Flag of Warning.
 That the governments dissolution of the Standard Oil company served as a. waving of a red flag of warning to every corporation in the United States.
 Something Must Be Done by Govern
 nrent.
 That something of a constructive nature must be done by the govern ment with reference to the control of corporations and rather than for pres ent conditions to continue it would be better to go to the limit of permitting government regulation of prices.
 Law Works as Handicap.
 That the very reason subsidiary companies of a great corporation can violate the law with knowledge of tha officers of the holding company is the law which prevents such a corpora ton from operating and ruling the sub- sidiary concerns instead of merely ad- vising them.

BOY BABY FOUND IN
 A MARKET BASKET.
Selectmen of Seymour Have No Clue
 to Its Parentaqe.

seymour, Conn, Aug. IDA tiny ba- by, occupying a market basket, which was lashed to 8 locust tree beside the path leading from West street to the River road, east of Trinity cemetery, was discovery made by Cornelius A. Rider when on his way to work shortly before o'clock this morning Mr. Riders attention was arrested by the sound of an infants crying. He inn mediately notified Selectman Divine. who quickly visited the place, as did also Officers McNerney, Riggs and Adams.
 The basket was taken down and the tiny occupant was fortunate enough to at once fall into kind hands, when Mrs John Hull of West stret took charge of the infant and promised to care for it until the selectmen could make other arrangements for it.. Unless the par entage of the child is discovered, the town of Seymour will have to stand in loco parents.
 The baby was of the male sex It was neatly clad in clean white gar ments of fair quality, A piece of cheesecloth was spread over the top of the basket, as if to protect it from in sects. The child lay on a pillow with a common tick cover. In the basket was a brick, and because of this and the suggestive proximity of the Nau gatuck river, it was at first thought that the original intention of those who aDandOned the baby was to crown him. This theory has been abandoned, however, because of the fact that the brick was warm. It is believed the brick was heated and placed in the basket to prevent the baby being chill ed by the night air.
 So far as could be ascertained, there are no clews to the childs percentage or any by which there seemed to be any possibility of discovering who tied the basket and the baby to the tree. There were no marks orf> the clothes. It was wrapped in a piece of outing fan nel and wore a shirt, a knit jacket and an embroidered bonnet, and about the entire outfit were a pair of bath tow els. The baby appeared to be healthy.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 10.-A hus- band can be toe affectionate and too polite, according to the testimony of Mrs. Wentworth Carter, who was granted a divorce in the circuit court here today.
 .'Too much poetry, too many kisses, too much love- too many smiles and too little work make an unfit husband" ]" she said. Mrs. Carter said that when she married, ten years ago, she was temporarily blinded by love and a del uge of poetry.
 He was positively irresistible, but he would not work, judge. When our last cent was gone, he went ito South Carolina where he has an uncle who he said had money and liked poetry and wine, too.'
