(By United Press Leased Wire.)
LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE lib
eral administration was defeated
today in the house of commons
by a vote of 22S to 206 on the
financial clause in the Irish home
rule bill. If the usual course is
followed, the administration will
resign, appeal to the country and
a general election follow.
Unless this election results IN
a victory for the liberals, home
rule will be lost. If the cabinet
resigns, it means an entirely
fresh start will be taken in the
new parliament.
The house of commons ad-
journed amid great excitement.
The vote of defeat for the gov
ernment came on a question Of
fered by Sir Frederick Banbory,
conservative, providing that In
case Ireland was unable to sup
port itself by local taxation and
was forced to ask the assistance
of the imperial treasury the
amount of relief should be limit
ed to s12,500,000.
Premier Asquith said $30,00O,-
600 might be needed.

DIE In A
WRECK

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
NEW ORLEANS, La, Nov. IL.
Nineteen persons were Instant
ly killed and 4S others injured
near Montz, La, early today
when an excursion train on the
Yazoo and Mississippi valley rail-
road collided with freight train.
The excursion train was filled
whit pleasure seekers returning
to their homes after spending
Sunday in New Orleans. The
freigh, plowed its way through
several of the excursion coaches,
some of the bodies or the victims
being so badly mutilated that 1t
is impossible to determine either
sex or color.
The bodies of 13 unidentified
victims have been brought to the
New Orleans morgue. The death
list may be increased.
Thirteen persons were killed
outright, six later dying at the
charity hospital here.
The dead include seven white
persons, the rest being negroes,
The accident, it is said, was
caused by a misunderstanding OF
orders. The excursion train had
stopped at a tank for water when
an express freight train, running
80 miles an hour, crashed into
the rear end. Three of the eX-
cursion coaches were telescoped,
the engine grinding 13 persons
to pieces.
