BEEF TRUST IN ENGLAND
Argentine Supply Awaits Lift
ing of Duty Here.

London, May 6.-There is curious
unwillingness at the Smithheld meat
market to discuss the unprecedented
increase in shipments Of beef from the
Argentine during the last few weeks.
If 81 salesman talks IL is only on the
understanding that on no account must
his name be mentioned. This, IT is ar
gued, lends color TO the suggestion that
the beef trust has got certain hold on
the Smthheld market.
The belief is general among the sales
men of the market that American com
panies are seeking TO get control,
though opinions as TO the object Of do
ing so vary. one suggestion is tina
the action Of American companies is
due to the imminent passing Of the
new United States tariff.
Beef Is on the free list and America
will soon be a large importer. There
are no lines of steamers fitted with ce-
frigerating plants which ply between
Buenos Ayres and New York. Beet
could be shipped from this country
very quickly when the tariff bill has
been passed. This. It is said. may ac-
count for the supplies which are being
hurried over here.

Premier amid cheers.
Mr.. Asquith said the bill would Gre

such an increase had never been APP

continued:
Would our political fabric be
strengthened, would our Legislative

by manners I mean the old fashioned
virtues Of chivalry. courtesy and inter-
dependence Of the sexes on one another
be raised or refined If women were
given the vote"
Cries Of "Of course they would" were
raised on all sides Of the House.
The Premier strongly denied that
Parliament had been neglected. of the
interests Of women. and said he saw no
evidence that British women as a whole
wanted the vote.
Lord Robert Cecil. speaking in sup
port of the bill contended that 10 vote

fBy Cable 10 The Trlbune.l

London, May THE woman suffrage
bill, designed to give the vote to some
six million women, was defeated in the
House Of Commons last night by 266
TO PIG, majority Of A.. The result Of
the division shows conclusively the
great damage that the mad action OF
the "malignants" has done 10 the cause
Of votes for women.
The last time a woman suffrage Dill
got 10 a division in the House of Com
mons. which was in March. 1912, ii was
defeated by a majority OF only four
teen. while during the previous years
1. e., before the institution Of the sys-
TEN Of daily outrages, suffrage bills
always passed their second readln8
stage. The majority in 1905 was as
high as ia. In 1909 II dropped to IL,
and in 1910 rose to 10. In 1911 1t fur
Their advanced to 167.
The debate last night was notable for
several powerful speeches. Premier
Asduith fiercely attacked the bill, the
main ground Of his indictment being
that women were not fitted by nature
for the great responsibilities Of polti-
cal life. one OF his principal colleagues
in the Cabinet. Sir Edward Grey, took
an exactly opposite view He put
the womens case with great effect de-
claring that the woman who remains
at home is not in an inferior position
for the study of politics.
F. f. Smith. a prominent Unionist.
was the last speaker against the bill.
He declared no government was en-
titled to make so vast a change as the
enfranchisement of six million women
without first consulting the people.
The House was packed for the close
Of the debate. the public galleries also
being crowded. Those present included
the German Ambassador and a number
of peers.
OF the minority voting for the bill il
is estimated that there were at least
| 100 Liberals. the majority against the
bill consisting chiefly of Conservatives,
4
with about sixty Liberals and sixty
Nationalist.
A. Bonar Law, the Unlonist leader.
