House of loi.Jt. Toll summons brought
together the Issuer of both parti's.
The MlJilnet also held (saIoii today.
The poxi ponement of the government's
annO'Jneement of its program and the fre
quent communication between the king
ad the cabinet have deepened the Impres
sion that his mn)ely may have refused to
give guarantees of 'the creation of new
peer under the present circumstances.
The resignation of the cabinet appears more
probable than the dissolution of Parlia
ment. evi: ier Dlenalun.
Already the action ul the king is being
discussed In tha newspapers. It appears
difficult for the throne to avoid belnK
Involved in the political crisis, an out
come to escape which the conference be
tween the government and the opposition
was arranged.
The extreme liberal papers hint that King
George has taken side with the House
of Lord. The Daily New says the resig
nation of the cabinet would mean that a
monarchist revolution has been added to
the revolution of the peer.
The earl of Crewe, secretary of state for
India and government leader In the House
of Lord, announced to the lords todas
that the government would Introduce the
lords' veto bill in the upper house tonight.
The Impression I widespread that at the
meeting with Premier Asqulth and with
the privy councillors, the king suggested
that the veto bill be sent in due course to
the upper, chamber for consideration. This
probably colnoides with Mr. Asqulth's per
sonal wish. ,
tlpoltlM lorea Point.
TKft. earl .of Crewfc.did, wot place uy
specific limit as to the length -of the de
bate on the veto bill, but wild the govern
ment lster would consider when the second
reading of the measure should be taken.
Lord I-ttnsdown. the opposition leader,
ihu scored the first point in the political J
game and disorganized the government's
original plan for an Immediate dissolu
tion of Parliament, though there Is nothing
tangible to show how long the day may
be deferred.
The earl of Crewe ald the government
would accept no amendments to the veto
bill.
The veto bill passed the first reading to

Consult Indians
Effort Being Made to Induce Sac and
Fox Chiefs to Abandon Tribal
Organization.
TAMA, la., Nov. lti. 1 Special.) Senator
A. H Cummins of Iowa and Congressman
James YV. Good of the Fifth district today
were here In conference with the Indian
agent and Indian chiefs of the Sues and
Fox tribes, under a special commission
from the ejmmlasloner of Indian affairs
to investigate and ascertain If possible
Whether a method or plan could be de
vised for abolishing the tribal life of the
Indians anJ allotting their lands In sev
eralty in the hope of bringing some pro
gress to them In civilization. The Indians
are'veiy much opposed to disturbing their
tribal organization, preferring to live In
huts collectively rather than to owning sep
arate farms and hustling for themselves.
There Is great difficulty in devUIng a
method of forcing them to do otherwise,
for the reason that they bought the land
they hold with their own money. The tribes
number about 0 and they own S.SUO acres
of valuable land. But by the tribal exist
ence they have made no progress and are
a band of degraded trapiM-rs and hunters,
living In primitive Wretchedness. It Is t,he
desire that they should be enabled to learn
agriculture and other pursuits and It . Is
hoifd to convince them that the allptment
of their land is the best plun for them.

Still further down the price of beersteak

perhaps no publication In 1 many months
has been mere widely read.
Reference 4o the present and past- price
list of meat published In The Bee Tues
day showed at a glance that the poor man
now has hi chance along with the man of
plethoric purse so far as dealing with the
butcher Is concerned, and Wednesday
morning brought news from one of the
moet prominent meat markets In the dty
to the effect that a revised schedule-of
beefsteak prices had been made over night,
and that the revision waa decidedly down

Retail dealer declare that they wel-
koome the lowering of prices, and It I de
clared that already the trade In meats 1
increasing, the public buying much more
liberally than formerly. Such prices as
are quoted above and that, too, by a
shop that Is roted for selling meats of
good quality, seems almost unbelievable
In this era of high living, und there Is
ecstacy today around more than one
kitchen range, where only a few days ago
anxious housewives looked atkunce at the

Bis; Corn Crop the Canoe.
The abundant com crop of the middle
west Is Bald to be largely a factor In
lowering prices, and the salaried man who
has a wife and several Juniors to feed Is
inclined to rise up these frosty mornings
and chant blessings upon the corn crop.
Even Thanksgiving turkey. It Is said, will
be cheaper than for many years, and that
Is anomalous In view of the almost un
bendable rule which places a premium on
the turkey crop Iminldlately prior to
Thanksgiving day.
"When I was a boy, a piece of "sowbelly'
in the winter time was deemed pretty
good." said C. H. Pickens, general man
ager of the Paxton-Gallagher company,
"but the last few years everyone demands
breakfast bacon, and who would eat a
slab of pork. In this lies the real reason,
or one of the most Important, why the
cot of certain foods has been high.
"A few years ago bacon was eaten for
breakfast, say once a week- Then, for rea
sons, the price went up, and because the
price was higher, everyone just had to
have bacon for his or her breakfast every
day.' The same way with porterhouse
steak.
"Who eats cornmeal for breakfast now?
Most breakfast foods are commonly held
to be cheap. Suppose you get a dish of oat
meal at a cost 01 a rent you have to pour
10 cents worth of cream on It-
tlwt Have Pretty Label.
"No one will buy syrup In the Jug any

the can, adds to the cost of production and
to the cost of living. The Ultimate Con

Charges Against

Recklessly.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov. IS.
Charges that the National Orange, Pat
rons of Husbandry, ' is being run by a
clique of standpatters who are attempt
ing to throttle progressive legislation
and are discrediting, betraying and de
feating a strong constructive leadership
and using the funds of the organisation
recklessly, were made at the first ses
sion o the powerful : farmers' organiza
tion here today.
M. 8. Godfrey of Olean, N. Y.. de
clared that George P. Hampton of New
York and J. W. Helme of Adrian, Mich.,
the recognized leaders of the insurgents
in the organization, had caused to be
printed articles attacking the Integrity of
the grange and Its leaders.
The Insurgent! claim the present ad
ministration retains Its power because
of the number of their followers. This,
they say, demonstrates that a state with
a membership of 70,000, as Pennsylvania
has, should be given representation In
proportion, which would allow Insurgents
to take control from the standpatters,
who, the insurgents claim, are backed
by western states, whose membership Is
still in the hundreds, but who are enti
tled to equal vote, on the questions to
be discussed by the convention.
