This action was taken on a petition signed by more than 60 sportsmen, requesting the reinstate ment of H. Rief, whom Kelley suc ceeded on January 9. The real trouble with Kelley Is de clared to be that he Is not a hunting man himself and therefore is not in sympathy with them. The gist of the petition is that he had $4000 on hand when he took office and that it is all gone now, with nothing to show for it. Game and fish, says the petition, are being illegally taken in many in stances. Rief had to yield to Kelley when Commissioners David McKenzle and M. L. Hamilton entered office as pol itical allies. Hamilton voted today for the request, with Commissioner A. L. Rutherford, while McKenzle voted against It o Baseball. fUN'TTED PBESS LEASED WIHE.1 Philadelphia, July 4.

THEluSE OF LORDS WILL FALL UNITED TRESS LEASED WIitE.l London, July 4. Banking on the belief that King George sooner would vacate his throne than create 500 more liberal peers to pass the veto bill over the protests of the present house of lords, leaders In that archaic body today stand flatly opposed to the Asqulth government. Having passed Lord Laiisdown's amendments to the veto measure, de manding a referendum on that as well as on home rule, the lords are apparently ready to stand off, all de fiant to the last. The Tories say King George's promise to create the new peers is only a conditional one. The liber als say it is absolute, and that, if it become necessary, it will be done. The liberals have also decided up on a vigorous counter campaign. They refuse to accept the lords' amendments, demanding a referen dum, saying that the last general election was, in effect, just that. A set timetable will be adhered to In the house of commons, the lords' amendment will be summarily dis posed of, and if the lords continue to obstruct legislation the veto ques tion will be at once brought to an Issue, the 500 new peers will be dumped Into the upper house, and that body, thus metamorphosed, will proceed to carry through at once the liberal legislation, which has ben de layed for years.
