BALF0UR DUETS FEARS
Declares Government viii Not Quit
In Face of Strike.

London. March 22.-Rumors to the
effect that the minimum wage bill
would be rejected, that there would
possibly be a dissolution of parlia.
ment and a general election, practi-
cally disappeared with the rejection
Of the motion of Former Premier Bal.
four that the second reading of the
bill be postponed for six months,
which was tantamount to a motion to
reject the measure altogether. The
change in public feeling, however,
was due almost entirely to the assur-
ance given by Mr.. Balfour in his
speech that his party did not want
dissolution.
Premier Asquith still seems to
think that the bill will end the
strike. II 1t does not, the prime min
lister will be obliged to take the
further steps which, God forbid"
that he had in mind when he indi-
Gated in the house of commons on
March 10 that the government would
not stop its active efforts for the re-
sumption Of work at the mines IL the
bill fails Of It's purpose. This is in
terpreted to mean that the premier
expects serious strife In the event Of
the miners who accept the bill re-
turning to work against the wishes
of others, in which case the govern
ment would have to protect them
with soldiers.

sugar. MIR. Underwood stated that in
all frankness to the gentlemen from
Louisiana he did not know what would
happen to the sugar industry OF that
state, but that he did know that the su
gar production OF Louisiana was less
than one tenth of the entire sugar con.
sumption in the United States, and
that he did not believe in the prlnci-
pie of taxing 92,O00,OOO people in or.
der that few sugar producers in one
state might make an unjust profit.
Two Sugar Trust Checks
When the bin to repeal the tax on
sugar was up for discussion in the
House, Asher c. Kinds, of Maine, arose
and loudly proclaimed that the ledger
of the sugar trust in New York would
show that the trust had sent checks
to the campaign managers of both the
Republican and Democratic parties
Mr.. Hardwick, of Georgia, replied. He
said that what Mr.. Kinds had stated
was true, but that the same book also
showed that the check intended for the
Democratic campaign fund had been
returned uncashed, whereas the one
sent to the Republicans had been cash
ed and spent.
Food Dopers in the Saddle
The enforcement of the pure food
laws in the United States is now com
pletely in the hands of DR.. Wiley's
enemies, who stand for such drugs as
benzoate of soda, which are harmful
to the human system, but useful to
the packers OF embalmed foodstuffs.

Columbus, O., March 22.--As the
debate drags along, it becomes more
and more apparent that the Fackler
substitute for the Crosser initiative
and referendum proposal is doomed,
like its predecessors, to defeat.
An agreement was reached where.
by no vote will be taken on any

they may be presented under the
rules, amendments to remove the
features Of the Fackler substitute
which have aroused comploint are
ready for presentation. Delegate

Delegate Keller OF Licking is ready
with an amendment which will re-
quire that at least 35 per cent of the
total vote cast at an election be re.
corded for measure before 1t is
considered adopted by the people at
the polls. He explained that 35 per
cent Is slightly more than majority
of a majority Of the voters of the
state and will be most valuable
safeguard against carrying PROPOSE

It would afford protection against the
single tax agitators.
Many delegates complain of the

but he had never been given O

ready with his substitute, which
would solve many difficulties, but
never has had an opportunity to pre-

Congress Will Pass Act Enabling
President to Offer Services.
Washington. March 23.-An effort
will be made to rush through con-
gress a bill authorizing the president
to mediate in coal strikes. This
proposition will be in the form of an
amendment to the Erdman act, which
now gives the United States commits
sioner of labor and the chairman OF
the interstate commerce commission
authority to act as mediators in rail-
road strikes affecting interstate traf-
fic. The amendment will be intro
duced in the house by Representa-
tives O'Donahue and Lee of Pennsyl-
vania. 1t will be designed of course,
to give the president authority to
offer his service as mediator in the
event of the failure of negotiations
to avert the coal strike.

NEWARK
Couple EIOpe To Kentucky
And Are Married
Newark Advocate)

Thomas Cramer, age 19, of ITO
Hoover street, packer employed at
the plant of the American Bottle COM
pany, and Miss Ida Buchanan of 274
Woods avenue, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. George Buchanan, eloped after
midnight Thursday morning and went
to Cincinnati. They crossed the river
to Covington where they secured lic-
ense and were married.
The action OF the young couple came
as complete surprise to their parents
and friends. Mr., Cramer called at the
Buchanan home Wednesday night and
both were still there when Miss Buch.
anans parents retired.
Thursday morning, the girls mother
found that the daughter had not re.
tired the night before, that her best
clothes were missing. This was the
first intimation the parents had that
the couple had eloped.
Young Cramer resided with his
grandmother, Mrs. Alexander Morris
of ITO Hoover street. When she found
that her grandson had not returned
home Wednesday night, she called the
Buchanans home on the telephone and
by comparing notes the two families
came to the conclusion that the couple
had eloped to Cincinnati and were
married.
Their deductions were confirmed
Thursday afternoon when the Advo'
cate received a special telegram from
Cincinnati reading as follows:
Thomas Cramer, glassworker, 81
and Ida Buchanan, Is, of Newark, o..
were married by Rev. III. Haefner at
his home here Thursday after they
said they eloped from Newark.
Upon arriving they hunted up G. H
Johnstone, clerk at q downtown hotel
and asked his assistance In getting
married. He took them to the court
house for license.
The young couple will receive the
blessing and forgiveness of their re-
spctive families upon their return
home.

THINKS SENATE
USELESS BODY
4
Representative LindheTg Has
Plan to Abolish II.
PROVIDES FOR SMALLER HOUSE

Would Have Three Hundred Mem
bers Elected as at Present For
Terms of Seven Years and Fifteen
Elected by People at Large For
Terms of Fifteen Years to Act as
Check on Larger Body--Gives His
Reasons.
Washington, March 23.-Proposing
an amendment to the constitution OF
the United States, Representative
Lindbergh of Minnesota is busy on
resolution for the abolition Of the
senate and Office Of vice president.
Tho Lindbergh resolution will pro-
vide for a house Of representatives
Of 315 members, with no upper
branch. Three hundred members
would be elected for terms of seven
years. Fifteen of the members would
be elected by the country at iarge,
each for term Of Is years. MIR.
Lindbergh's resolution will provide
Chat the 10 members thus elected
shall be known as the committee at
large.
The committee at large will have
a veto power over legislation passed
by the house proper. Legislation dis
approved by the committee at large
would not go to the president for ap-
proval unless passed over the COM
mittee's veto by a two-thirds vote OF
the house. The Lindbergh resolution
viii provide that only native-born
Ameicans shall be eligible for elec.
tion to the committee at large. The
reason for this is that with the Office
Of vice president abolished, success
aion to the presidency is provided
for through the committee. In the
event of disability or the death of
the president the Lindbergh plan
provided that the chairman Of the
committee shall succeed to the office.
The principle Of the recall will be
a prominent feature of the Lindbergh
resolution. 1t will provide that any
member of the house or any member
OF the committee at large may be re
called at any biennial election.
"The senate is no longer respon-
xive TO public sentiment" said Mr.
Iindbergh. "a house of 300 mem
bers could work more expeditiously
and with better results than a house
Of 3s1 members, as at present.
