BRITISH BUDGET
PASSES COMMONS
Asquith Challenges Balfour to
Offer Alternative for
New Taxes.
BILL IS NOW UP TO LORDS
Premier Daren His Opponents to
Propone Tariff Reform and Has
TTnexpected . Majority; The
lords ooa to .Vote.
LONDON'. Nov. 4. The House of Com
mons tonight passed the third reading
of the finance bill by a, vote of 379 to
149.
Th arena In the: House -was memorable.
Seldom has there been a .larger attend
ance and the diplomatic galleries were
crowded to their capacity. Chancellor
Llnyd-Oeorge. Premier. Asqulth and Mr.
Balfour, leader of the opposition, all
spoke and tense excitement prevailed.-
Kew Taxes or Tariff Reform.
Mr. Asmiith. In a brief speech closing
the debate, said it was incumoeni upon
those who objected to the government's
taxes to provide some alternative scheme
to meet the nation's necessities. Where
was thto scheme, he asked. Sooner or
later Mr. Balfour must show his hand
and It would have to be a hand that
would suit the game of tariff reformers.
The government, continued the Premier,
might be well content to rest In patience.
There were only two issues before the
House taxes proposed by the budget
or tariff reform.
Victory Exceeds Hopes.
Division was taken and the announce
ment of the vote, showing the govern
ment's majority to be larger than bad
teen expected, was greeted with pro
longed ministerial cheers. The Conserva
tives had counted upon a score of liberal
abstentions, but apparently only two Lib
erals Joined the Nationalists In abstain
ing from votinr.
The bill will be formally passed on Its
first reading In the House of Lords, to
morrow, the debate on the second read
ing, which will determine Its fate, be
ginning November' 32.
IRISH ABSTAIN FROM VIOLENCE
But Are Against .Lords Probable
Action of Peers.
LONDON. Nov. ' B, The Liberal papers
this morning are pleased .bt the budget
has left the House of Commons backed by
a solid majority representing the whole
strength of the. party,. Including the labor
members.
The only matter" of discontent Is the
refusal of the Nationalists to support the
budget. In explaining his party's decision
to abstain. John Redmond, in a speech
In the House later, emphatically declared
, that. If It was to be. rf gucstion of tho
; Lords' power to block the country's legls
' latlon permanently, he wonrd not be on
the side of the Lords but on the side of
the Commons and he would not allow
himself to be cajoled from this attitude
by reason of hie opposition, to Increased
taxation In Ireland. -
In connection with the idea-that - the
Lords had decided to reject the budget,
a mysterious- -paragraph appears in - the
DaJjy Telegraph.. strong Unionist, organ,
declaring that nothing has yet occurred
that can be taken as defining the Lords'
attitude. On -the-- contrary. ' says the
statement, the .Peer will .approach, the
consideration of the bill unpledged and
untrammeled.' ' Thia paragraph possibly
foreshadows the Intention of the House of
Lords to attempt Jto amend.. Instead of
totally rejecting, the budget.

LOVE COMES TO SEATTLE
EASTERN BACKER WILL TRY TO

Although Said to Be Financially in
Difficulty He Takes Expensive
Apartments for His Home.
SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 4. (Special.)
Sidney C. Love, lately of Chicago and
New York, where, as a broker, he was
Identified with the Moores. the Rock
Island system. D. G. Reld. W. B. Leeds
and Reginald Vanderbllt. and at one time
was worth 1. 000. 000. Is in Seattle for the
purpose, he says, of building anew the
fortune swept from him as the result of
unsuccessful stock speculations.
Although only 38 years of age. Love
rose from the humble position of clerk
in the offices of the South Side Elevated
Railroad to a oosltion of prominence and
affluence in the money centers of Chi
cago and New York. He also figued In
two sensational matrimonal ventures,
both apparently unsuccessful, as he has

GRAIN SLIPS FROM CANADA
Dominion Sends Wheat to America
r" for Shipment Abroad.
MONTREAL. Nov. 4. Freight rates
have brought about a curious situation
in connection w..n the shipment of
grain from Canadn to England. De
spite the large increase In the grain
output from the Canadian West, Mont
real Is getting less of the grain freight
trade than it has had in recent years.
' The explanation Is that freight rates
from Boston' to Liverpool are one and
one-half cents per bushel, cheaper
than from Montreal to Liverpool and
that though the extra cost of trans
portation of the grain from the Ca
nadian West to Boston brings the total
cost of freight from the wheat fields
to England to 12 3-4 cents in each case,
the Insurance on the freight from Bos
ton Is less than one-third of that on
grain on the Montreal route outward
bound.
In other words. American ports are
getting Montreal's grain export trade
because the insurance rates on grain
cargoes from those ports are about
70 per cent -less than tnos; on sucu
freight from Montreal.
HAS CLEW TO STRANGLER
Schnectady Man Offers to Solve
Denver Murder Mystery.
DENVER. Nov. 4. The unsolved mys
tery of Denver's "strangler" murders In
the Fall of 194 was again brougnt into
prominence today by the receipt by a
local paper of a letter from W. F. Will
iams, of Schenectady, N. Y.. In which he
announces he can give Information In
regard to the person who committed the
crimes. The writer concludes with the
statement :
"I shall expect adequate compensation
for the same."
The letter was at once turned over to
Chief of Police Armstrong, who has wired
the authorities at Schenectady to get in
touch with Williams.
In September, October and November.
1S94. three women in the underworld of
Denver were strangled to death. In each
case signs of a terrible struggle were
evident. Richard Demady. a lover of one
of the women, was tried for her murder,
but was acquitted, and from that time
the crimes have remained a mystery.

Baxe. a convict, and sent him alone to
North Yakima to act as witness in the
trial of Elmer Watson, "the Montana

WHITE OR YELLOW?
Three Departments at Issue
, on Naturalization of Syr-
ians and Turks.
TURKISH TREATY BLOCKED
Naturalization Chief Says They Are
Yellow, Knox and Wickersham
Say , 'White Officials
Will Get Together.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. The Depart
ment of Justice tonight took a hand in
the, controversy over the question of
whether Syrians, Turks, Persians, Egyp
tians, Arabs and others of that racial kin
are of the' white race and so entitled to
naturalisation as American citizens; or of
the yellow, and therefore to be excluded
from the privileges of citizenship, as con
tended by Chief Richard K. Campbell, of
the Bureau of Naturalization of thev De
partment of Commerce and Labor. '
Blocks Turkish Treaty.
r William H. Harr, the Attorney-General's
assistant having naturalization matters In
charge, announced tonight that Instruc
tions would be sent to the United States
authorities throughout the country to hold
in. abeyance all proceedings opposing
naturalization of applicants of the race
referred to, until the matter can be fur
ther investigated.
The agitation following the widely-'dls-puted
ruling of Mr. Campbell has become
embarrassing to the State Department,
which, . as It announced yesterday, has
been negotiating for a reciprocal naturali
zation treaty with Turkey. As the mat
ter stands now, a citizen of Turkey may
renounce his citizenship under that gov
ernment with impunity as long as he
keeps off Turkish soil. The setting of his
foot thereupon at any time thereafter
makes him by that act again a Turkish
subject.
Get Departments Together.
Mr. Harr said he would take up the
matter with. Attorney-General Wicker
sham, when he returns to the city next
week, and that, perhaps, he would get
Into touch with the State Department and
the Department of Commerce and Labor.
The subject was discussed today between
Mr. Harr and Acting Secretary Earle. of
the Department of Commerce and Labor,
and It was stated that the latter ap
proves of having action suspended until
the matter can be carefully considered.
Rusum Bey,- the Turkish Charge d'Af
faires, conferred with Secretary of State
Knox in the same connection. He de
clared that he was very much pleased
with his reception and with the Secre
tary's statements in connection with
American-Turkish relations.
SYRIAN MAY BECOME CITIZEN
Los Angeles Court Decides Against
Government in Test Case.
LOS ANGELES, Cal.. Nov. 4. The
right of a native Syrian to become a
full-fledged citizen of the United States
was upheld by Judge Hutton In the Su
perior Court here today against the ef
forts of the Federal authorities. The
court also ruled that a Syrian uui
a Mongolian, but of the Semitic or
Aryan white race, and hence could not
be barred from citizenship. -
The Federal attorneys cited numer
ous authorities and put upon the witness-stand
several ethnological experts
in an effort to prove that George Shls
heim, a native Syrian, born in Lebanon,
was of the Mongolian race.
The Government will appeal the de
cision to the Federal Court. It Is re
ported that the authorities were anx
ious to win a decision on this point and
erect a citizenship bar against the
Syrians and similar races, to prove to
Japan that the law against Mongolians
was not a discrimination against the
Japanese.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 4. (Specials
The wireless record was again broken' by
the Pacific Mail liner Korea Tuesday
night, when a message from her 4305
miles distant was clearly received here

the charges of having dyed her dressing
gowns after the murder to get rid of

some of her step-mother's bedding. He
also pointed out that the gag. when taken
from Mme. Stelnheil's mouth, was" not
moistened by saliva.. and declared there
fore the gagging was a farce and the
whale story trumped up.
Mme. Stelnheil indignantly denied these
charges and boldly declared that, if the
gag did not show saliva, it was because
theMoctors had examined the wrong gag.
She asserted she had no motives in dyeing
her gowns.
Qualified for Tragedy Queen.
Experienced court reporters consider
Mme. Stelnheil the most consummate

the bar of Justice, while dramatic critics
believe she might have been a world
famous tragedienne.
The procedure of the criminal courts

sympathy for the prisoner, and the pub
lic belief Is strong that Mme. Stelnheil
will not be convicted. The intense inter

NORTH YAKIMA, Wash., Nov. 4.
(Special.) Discovery of the fact that the
voting of the saloons out of business
at the approaching local option election
would put a $37,000 crimp in the city
finances and necessitate the abolishment
of street sprinkling and extension, today
dealt a body blow - to the prohibition

Should the saloons go out of business,
the city would be deprived of $23,000 In
