BRITISH BLAMING
LORD KITCHENER
Cabinet Crisis Due, II Is Charged, TO
Failure to Keep Cabinet InfOrm-
ed on Supplies.

London, May 20.-The cabinet crisis.
according to the usually weil-informed
parliamentary correspondent of the
Daily News, was precipitated by Lord
Kitchener's failure 10 keep the min
istry informed regarding supplies of
ammunition sent TO the front. Huge
supplies of shells had been sent, but
the proportion OF shrapnel is said to
have been greater than that of high
explosives. whereas the army required
a preponderance of high explosives.
Opposition leaders who were in pos
session of these facts, says the Daily
News, threatened debate in the house
OF commons TO prove their accuracy.
Such a debate would have undermined
gravely the authority OF the govern
ment Coupled with the admiralty
quarrel and the resignation OF Lord
Fisher, the paper asserts, ii probably
would have meant the downfall of the
government, which would have been
considered lamentable in the midst OF
war The moment was seized, there
fore, by representatives of both sides
anxious for a coalition cabinet and
the government assented to this solu-
ton TO avert q worse crisis.

ROOSEVELT CASE
IN JURYS HANDS
Presiding Judge, In Instructions, Holds
Barnes Attack LibelOus in
Two Regards.

Syracuse. y. Y. May 2O-Wnliam
N. Wins, chief counsel for William
Barnes in his suit for libel against
Theodore Roosevelt. concluded his ad-
dress TO the jury today by assailing
the former president as being the real
possessor Of a "JekyI-Hyde personal-
ty." instead of Mr.. Barnes. At the
afternoon session Justice Andrews de-
livered his instructions as TO the final
proceeding before the jury begun its
consideration Of the case. The case
went TO the jury at 1922. The court
said in part.
To publish falsely any article that
holds a man up 10 ridicule and dis
grace and to injure his character is
libel. The intention or object OF the
libel must not be taken into consider
alton.
Because a man is in public life he
is not an outlaw and he can be libel
ed Just the same as any other citizen.
10 question OF privilege enters into
this case.
LAS for the article complained of,
I have held it is libeIous per Sc in two
regards. It charges a corrupt politi-
cal alliance between Mr.. Barnes and
Mr. Murphy in regard to the govern
ment OF the state. Secondly, it charg
es that Mr.. Barnes has worked through
a corrupt alliance between crooked
business and crooked politics. Moth
ing else in the article is nbelous."
Justice Andrews concluded by tell
ing the jury II would not be doing its
duty II it considered politics or any
thing except the proper evidence.
In reply to a question from one of
the jurors Justice Andrews said that
II 4 verdict was found before 4 o'clock
it could be returned verbally. II re-
turned after I o'clock, he said the jury
would be required to put the verdict in
writing and have IL sealed.

Legislature Causes Surprise
by Passing Compton Re-
form Resolution. -.
CHANGE STATE SYSTEM
Constitutional Amendment
to Be Up at November
1916, Election.

Springfield, Ill, May 20.-A constf-
tutional amendment which would en-
able the legislature 10 change the tax
ing machinery of the state will be
submitted to the voters OF Illinois at
the next general election.
This was decided today when the
house, by vote of 1873 10 s adopted the
Compton tax amendment resolution.
which already had been passed by the
senate.
Those who have been urging the
passage of the so-called tax reform
resolution favor a change IN the
states taxing system allowing the
classification OF property. The con-
stitutional amendment, which will be
voted upon at the November election
in 1916, does not directly alter the
taxing machinery, but removes GER
tain restrictions which would allow
the legislature TO make the change.
Passage by the house of the tax
amendment resolution came as q sur
prise, following the defeat of the con-
stitutional convention proposition and
the amending clause resolution. Pre-
dictions had been freely made that no
proposed constitutional amendment
would be submitted by this iegfsla-
ture. The senate passed the amend
ment Tuesday night, but expectations
had been that the resolution would
meet defeat In the house.
