LORDS THREATEN
TO DEFY PEOPLE
Reject Budget, Demand Is

OPEN WAR ON COMMONS
Asquith May Refuse to Call Election.
Churchill Issues Manifesto
Against Lords Balfour
to Defend Theiu.
LONDON', Nov. 16. In the House of
I,nrds today Lord Lansdowne, leader of
the opposition, gave the formal and ex
pected notice of hie intention to move
for the rejection of the budget bill when
it comes up next Monday.
His motion, he said, would be expressed,
thus: "I move that this house is not Jus
tified in giving its consent to this bill
until it has been submitted to the judg
ment of the country."
The terms or Lord Lansdowne's motion
were communicated to Premier Asquith
and discussed by the Cabinet Council.
Unionists anticipate that 300 peers will
support Lord Lansdowne, while support
ers of the government in the House of
Lords number only 40.
On the rejection of the budget it is ex
pected that the Premier will move in the
House of Commons a resolution strongly
condemning the peers action, affirming
the sole right of the commons to deal
with matters of taxation and declaring
the peers' attempt to force a dissolution
unconstitutional.
What further course Premier Asquith
will take is not known, but it is quite
unlikely that the cabinet will resign,
unless the government is defeated at the
elections.
Mr. Balfour, leader of the opposition
in the House of Commons, will deliver
a speech at Manchester tomorrow night,
which probably will outline the Unionist
election manifesto. ,
Churchill Issues Manifesto.
Winston Spencer Churchill already is
out with a Liberal manifesto. In a letter
on the situation he says that the power
to force dissolution Is the prerogative or
the crown and that finance is the exclu
sive privilege of the House of Commons.
Therefore, he argues, the rejection of the
budget is an, invasion by. the. Lords of
the royal prerogative and of the Com
mons privilege, and that, if the Lords
establish at the gpHeral election the right
to control the country-- finances, they
will make themselves the predominant
power in the state by their ability to
destroy the budget, stop the King's reve
nue and force the dissolution of .Parlia
ment every : year.
lord's Perform Act of War.
Liberal newspapers, describe Lord
Ianedowne's motion as an act of war.
The Daily Chronicle says:
"The Lords have chosen the way of
destruction.. It Is as though some influ
ence riadbeen at work to bring the
House tt Lords before the people's gaze,
with all Its . Imperfections on its head.
Bold and unashamed, it is standing forth
as the seifish defender of privileges In
land end liquor and the champion of tax
ation on food. A more shameful con
spiracy against the commonwealth has
never been unmasked."

some of these men and politicians "clean

Every time an accident happens east
of the Willamette River it is a roast for
the Twelve-Mile House and Merrill, and
hours are spent coaxing, bulldozing and
threatening victims of automobile acci

liquor at the Twelve-Mile House, pro
viding they had stopped there any time
during the day in which an accident oc
curred. The Twelve-Mile House Tavern and the
resort on which it is situated is cost

is five years ahead of the times, of the

I shall abide by and stick close to the
law and my rights as laid down on the
statute books of the State of Oregon. I
will not commit suicide, skip out of the
country, or be run out of business by
my enemies or anyone attempting to
use me to further their' own political
ends and they will find me fighting on
the job against them at the next elec
tion. . .
A few hundred of the good people who
patronize my roadhouse and tavern dur
ing good weather will attest to the fact
that a roadhouse and tavern could not
be run any better than our place has
been run. If our employes make a misj
take and serve people who should not
be served we will have to suffer the fine
and the consequences, but we will not
be "Jobbed." We ask for Justice and

NEGRO GAMBLERS CAUGHT
Black "Black Jack" Players Put Vp
$200 Ball When Surprised.
Caught by Detectives Craddock and
Mallet playing "black jack" in the rear
room of a poolhalL at Seventh and Ever

ers were brought to police headquarters
and forced to give $M0 ball for appear
ance in Municipal Court this morning.
George Perry, who was conducting the
game,- ported 100 bail, the other four
giving $25 each.
All were crowded around a table in
tensely interested in the game when the
detectives surprised them. Although a
general exodus of players from the room
was attempted, the officers had barred
every avenue of escape and a peaceful
surrender was effected, and J44.96 was
confiscated.

tempt to deny these cases, but re

worse in other counties, where court
was held only twice a year.
Judge Bennett told of the problems
which confront a Municipal Judge in
Portland.
"Wifebeaters are my worst problem,
he said. "At first I used to sentence
them to hard labor; their wives
seemed to desire it. But In less than a
week the wife is unable to support
herself. How can we punish the man
without hurting his family?"

CINCINNATI, Nov. 16. Pleas for the
Government regulation of monopolies
were voiced tonight before the joint con
vention of the National Municipal League
and the American Civic Association by
ex-Secretary of the Interior James R.
Garfield and by Charres W. Eliot, president-emeritus
of Harvard. Both declared
that it was imperative that the Govern
ment take immediate steps for the con
servation of resources.
Mr. Garfield said that the country's
natural resources were in imminent
danger of exhaustion and that interests
which develoDed this Bource of National
wealth must be -regulated.
Garfield. Calls Attention to Alaska.
Mr j zirt dl (1 ftinrt maintained that In-

nd that legislation on that subject was
urgently needed. He said in part:
"The permanent wenare or our ruuu

ppatinn nrrtvidfl for the conservation of
our natural resources. Hitherto we have
been needlessly wasteiui. we nave ue
too much occupied with the present; too

improved.
"Congress has wisely provided for the

"The great progress that has been
made through the recent years will not
be stopped. The people of our country
will not tolerate any ""r"
They demand and will seeto it that their
demand Is heeded, that the great policy
of conservation shall be in the interests
of public welfare."
Dr. Bllot was equally emphatic. He
said in part:
"The sentiment of preserving our
natural resources has gone like wildfire
throughout the country. The people have
reached positive convictions and they
mean to have conservation."
In the afternoon session A. L. well,
of Pittsburg, who has prosecuted the
municipal corruption in that city, said
that the greatest deterring elements In
reform campaigns are public apathy and
lack of financial support.
The spread of the municipal commis
sion form of government has been rapid,
according to an address by Clinton Roger
Woodruff, secretary of the National Mu
nicipal League.
"There i one danger, however, which
advocates of the commission must guard
against the feeling that it constitutes a
panacea for all municipal Ills." he said.

BT W. J. PETBAIN.
In furtherance of an apparently pre
concerted scheme to humble Congressman
McCredie, president of the Portland Base

last night voted against granting the
Northwestern League permiesion to place
a team in Portland. At the same time
there is no record that the Southern
autocrats refused the Jerkwater village of

Incidents In Maybray Game, Where
in Ballew Libst $30,000 on
Horse Race, Are Related.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., Nov.' 16.
The first story of a Maybray victim
on the witness-stand was told today in
the District Court, when T. W. Ballew,
of Princeton, Mo., told how he was
swindled out of $30,000 on October 14,
1908, in this city, on a fake horse race.
Bellew was the first witness called for
the state in the trial of John R. Dob

into the Maybray game. y
Bellew Is a .merchant, banker and
lumberman. He testified that 13 years
ago he owned 15 lumber yards In
Northern Missouri and oouthern Iowa.
Bellew's testimony occupied the en

told of his meeting with W. H. Martin
in Princeton and a subsequent meet
ing with Martin and Dobbins in Kan
sas City, when they laid before him
the scheme to beat a supposed gang of
Pittsburg millionaires on a horse race.
He told how he came to Council
Bluffs and obtained 30,000 in drafts
from two Omaha banks, and bet, first
the money of Martin and George Wil
son, supposed superintendent of the
millionaires, and then his own, on a
race which ended In a fiasco and in the
collapse of one of the riders.

by which the grasping Tacoma millionaire
was enabled to annex the charming ex
actness, and the performance of which
Is said to have cost him $5. the couple
headed direct for San Francisco. At the
Oakland pier they were met by Mr. and
Mrs. Harry Ramsdall, prominent society
folk, and entertained by them on Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. Bowes are eviaeniiy nui
superstitious. They were married on the
13th day of the month, after three days
of marital freedom for Mrs. Frohman

a trousseau made from goods which at
one time had been seized by customs of
ficers at the port of San Francisco.
The actions of the Bowes are in entire
keeping with statements made by the ,
bride when she was last here, when she
announced that she would soon retire
from the stage, and intimated that ahe
preferred the privacy of home life. It
was the wish of her former husband to
keep her before the footlights. It la ex

TACOMA. Wash., Nov. 16. (Special:)
There is considerable speculation among
Tacoma people as to whether Edward T.
Bowes, the millionaire real estate operator,
and his actress bride, formerly Mls
Illington, are in Tacoma. No one seems
to know, and the servants at the house
deny to newspapermen and callers the
rumor that they are passing a quiet
honeymoon within the walls of their own
mansion.
Despite the servants' denial there is a
well-defined rumor that the couple is
somewhere in the city. It is said that
a hurrying automobile occupied by a man
who looked like Mr. Bowes and a woman
with classic features was seen to draw
up at the Bowes home.
