I-ONDON. Nov. 18. It l the Intention of
the government to pass the essential fea
tura of the budget, namely, the Income
tax. tea duty and Kinking fund provisions;
remove the pauper disqualification for old
ago pensions and dissolve Parliament on
November 2H should the lords In the mean
time reject the veti bill.
Prosentlng thla program In the House of
Commons today rremlcr Asqulth said he
hail hoped up to the last moment the veto
conference would reach a settlement. There
never has been a more honest and sus
lalned attempt by men of strong and con
flicting conviction to find a basis of
agieemctit upon which to build a structure
promising stability and endurance..
In view of the failure of the conference
Mr. Asqulth paid It would be uaelcsH to
attempt to bring about an agreement In
the present Parliament to the accompani
ment of the din of party collision.
"The result Is that we revert to a state
of war," declared the premier, who con
tinued: "The lords will be given an opportunity
of saying, 'yea' of 'no' to the government's
veto bill during the coming week. There Is
no question of amendment or transforma
tion. It la a question of acceptance or re
jection. The lime has come for this con
troversy, which obstructs the whole path
of progressive legislation, to be sent for
final, decisive arbitrament to the national
tribunal.'
Mr. AsquHh denied the assertion of the
conservatives that the government was act
ing under pressure, saying that he under
stood the charge waa that pressure Was
being applied "by the sinister hand of the
black angel of this political drama, Mr.
Uedmond."
Mr. Asqulth then detailed the legislation
which the government proposed to pass
before the dissolution of Parliament and
said It would be necessary to appropriate
t'HOO.OUO to curry out the provisions of the
act removing the pauper disqualification
from old-age pensioners, and concluding by
promising that If the government obtained
the requisite Parliamentary majority he
would next year bring In a bill to provide

New York House.
NEW YORK. Nov. IK. Pending an In
quest planned for today on the body which
was found In an hermetically sealed trunk
in the cellar of a West Fifty-fourth street
apartment house, the authorities were not
inclined to theorlxe on who the victim of
tha mysterious murder might be.
Even the sex of the victim was not
known, the five years or more during
which the body Is known to have reposed
In 1U hiding place having reduced It al
most to a skeleton.
From outward Indications, however, the
authorities are of the belief that the body
Is that of a woman, tha smallness of the
bones chiefly leading them to that con
clusion. .

NKW YORK, Nov. 18. One hundred thou

State Senator Eugene M. Travis of Brook
lyn, so he swore on the stand today, testi
fying before the legislative committee.
A mysterious little mart, whose name he
does not recall, made the offer In the lobby
of the senate, he eald, in behalf of former
Senator Frank J. Gardner. And Gardner,
he added, confirmed It In a subsequent tele
phono conversation.
Gardner Is now under Indictment charged
with having attempted similarly, though
with a lesser amount, to Influence Otto
G. Foelker of Brooklyn, now a congress
man, but then a state senator. Foelker
voted for the bill, as did Travis, and It
was passed notwithstanding the frantlo
efforts of the race track Interests and the
alleged use of a fund which previous testi
mony has placed at $500,000.

Travis' testimony and the committees

most Interesting developments of today's
hearing, resumed after an adjournment on
October 22.
Efforts to find Messrs. Keene and Whit

M. Lynn Bruce, chairman of the com
mittee. Is becoming impatient. Both men
have been mentioned In previous testimony
as having been present at a conference at
Delmonlco's at which the alleged corrup
tion fund was raised and the cornmlttee Is
inxlous to examine them.
"It Is strange." said Judge Bruce, "that
with the horse show going on Harry Payne
Whitney, at least, cannot be located. We
have had subpoena servers at the show
every day and evening looking for Mr.
Whitney or any of the others, but they
cannot be found. Our men also scoured

Governor-Elect of Nebraska Returns
to Ohio to Hunt Rabbits.
SAYS WILL RID STATE OF "GANG"
Pledges Himself to Preserve and
Enforce Corporation lm of
State To Enforce the
Liquor Laws.
CONNEAUT. O.. Nov. 18. (Special.)
Forty-nine years ago, on a farm In Pler
pont township, Ashtabula county, Ohio,
Chester H. ' Aldrieh was born. Today he
has come back to his birthplace to visit his
parents and friends, whose wel) wishes
were all he took with him when he left
in his youth to carve his name In the his-
tory or me west.
"I '? Hke conquering warrior." said
the governor-elect of Nebraska when he
seems natural and homelike and I
am
going to make the best of my visit."
He had hardly said this when he asked
about the. hunting. And a few hours iater
he was out with a shotgun chasing rab
bits through a woods where, as a barefoot
boy, he hunted snakes. Hunting, he said.
I will be his recreation until he leaves for
Nebraska again, December 1.
Mr. Aldrlch's parents were overjoyed to
see him again and hear his success told by
their son's own Hps. His mother had no:
seen him In years and she wept as she
rained kisses on his face.
Mr. Aldrieh Rays he owes much of his
success to his education received in Ohio.
He went to the district schools and later
became a teacher. After leaving Ashta
bula county he taught school In Ulysses,
Neb. But he wanted to enter public af
fairs He studied law and In 1907 was
elected to the state senate.
ftfinsr llnl Arrnlsmed.
In his letter announcing he was coming
to visit his birthplace the governor-elect
bitterly arraigned the so-called gang rule
of Nebraska.
"I will rid Nebraska of the gang that
has been ruining It and will make It a
state to be proud of." he wrote.
Interviewed at his old home. Mr. Aldrieh
talked freeely of the political situation In
hl" ,,a,e 'na vicinity. He said Nebraska,
jowa nnn Kansas are overwneimingiy lor
progress.
"Taft's administration is not altogether
popnlar In Nebraska." he said. "Taft is
regarded as thoroughly patriotic and hon
t est. but Impractical In carrying out poli
cies. His Winona speech lost him the con
fidence of the west. He embarrassed and
, withheld patronage from Congressman
j Norrls, who. by the way. Is also an Ohio
t born man, and the people could never un
derstand. If Taft Is truly progressive, why
; he antagonised the very man who stood for
, Roosevelt and the policies Roosevelt sup
ported. "The recent election Is an absolute Indi
cation that the people are dissatisfied with
the Payne-Aldrteh tariff law, as not In
compliance with the party's platform
pledges as Interpreted by Mr. Taft. It Is
a warning to the republicans that they
must get busy and represent the people.
The dunocratic party can be trusted to
make enough mistakes to Insure the elec
tion of a republican president In V2.
"As to my policy as governor, I will pre
serve and enforce the corporation laws of
the state. I will encourate liberal appro
priations for the state university and nor
mal schools. I will enforce the liquor laws
of the state and encourage the enactment
of a county option statute."

said:
"We white rlbboners consecrate our
selves anew and will follow on, Frances
Willard, the best we can In doing the work
you so nobly Inaugurated, and will take
for our motto the words of your sister as
rhe passed beyond 'Tell everybody to be
good.' We cannot expect the goodness for
which we pray in the heart, home and na
tion until the greatest stumbling block,
the legalized traffic In liquor, Is taken out
of the heart of the home and nation."
Then as the chorus of "America" re
sounded through the hall, each member of
the Illinois delegation passed by the
statue' and deposited a flower at the feet
of the leader of their cause.

ASTAPOVA. Russia. Nov. Is A bulletin .

"Count Tolsto;, after passing a practically
sleepless n:ght, during which he frequently
lost consciousness, became calmer toward
morning. His temperature at midday was
9C.K, pulse 120 and Intermittent respiration
4". The local lung symptoms nre un
changed. The patient continues very weak."
It was learned that Tolstoi's condition
wns practically unchanged this afternoon.
Russl Is deeply Interested In the efforts
being made for the author's reconciliation
with the Greek church. There is slight
prospect of success for the present,, as h s
Physicians say there would be grave danger
In the mental excitement which the count
would be likely to experience If ho were
permitted to see the telegram sent him by
tha metropolitan antonlus or to receive a
visit from the orthodox bishop. Cyril, whom
the holy synod has sent hither.
The government apparently Is desirous
of finding a compromise, but several cleri
cals of the synod Insist that Tolstoi must
show evidence of repentance before he can
be received again Into the church.
ASTAPOVA, Russia, Nov. IK A bulletin
Issued at B o'clock this afternoon reads:
"Count Tolstoi, after passing a practi
cally sleeplesw night during whlcn n-i
frequently lost consciousness became
calmer towards morning. His tempera
ture at midday was 68.8, pulse 120, In
termittent respiration The local
lung symptoms are unchanged. The pa
tient continues vory weak."
In the early stages of the Inflammation
of the lungs from which he is suffering It
was the temperature which gave cause for
anxiety, now It Is the heart. The patient a
temperature was not particularly high to
day, but the heart action was extremely
bad. Tolstoi alternated part of the time
between unconsciousness and delirium.
, Early hls evening It was announced ths
InXlammi tion had been tonfjned to a com
paratively' small section of ths lung and
that expectoration was free. The heart,
however, caused constant anxiety. fcUro
phanthus, a powerful stm.umnt, was ad
ministered, oxygen was not resorted to.'
The physicians have Issued frequent bul
letins. In which they refer to the persist
ent, temperature. A clyster was adminis
tered ss a means of relieving this, and as
an Immediate result the patient's tempera
ture dropped from lvl1 to 100, less, how
ever, than was expected. Temporarily
there was easier breathing- and the puUe
dropped slightly. The pationt faced a crit
ical night.
Reported to Desire reconciliation.
BT. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1. It Is re
potted ttiat Count Tolstoi' desires a recon
ciliation with the Greek church, from
which he was exoommunicated following
the publication of his work, "Resurrec
tion" in 1'JOI.
According to today's papers the Holy
Synod held a secret session yesterday, at
which the relations of the count and the
church were discussed. Bishop Parthonlus
of Tula, who visited the novelist last sum
mer, participated in the deliberations and
later told a representative of the press thai
In his opinion there was no doubt that
Count Tolstoi wished to withdraw from
under the church's Interdict.
An exhortatory telugrajti addressed t
Tolstoi by Antonlus, metropolitan of St.
Petersburg presiding over the synod, and
the departure of Rlshop Cyril for Astapova
mark the extreme solicitude of the church
to gather Tolstoi into Its folds.
At the time of the wrlui's serious Ill
ness at Crimea In lisxt a similar exhortation
was kunt to hlm and ois-lct orders were dis
patched to CrlLiea to allow only the repre
sentatives of the chuich entrance to tlie
bed chamber during Ills dying nUiiulea, us
the synod had determined at any cost to
bury him.
On that ocoaalon, when he regained con
sciousness, Tulatul directed an answer to
the clericals:
The text of the telegram from the metro
politan, Antonlus, Is as tor?owi.
"Since the very first moment of your
rupture with tlio church I Incessant. y
prayed and I pray now that God may re
store you to thu church. Possibly He is
soon to summon you to the Judgment scat.
I Implore you In your slckntss now in
recondlo yourself with tho chuich and th
orthodox Russian people. May God bless
you."
Count Tchertkoff and the other attend
ants decided tiia! It was unthinkable lu
ut-mit the telegram to Toistol in Lis pres
ent condition.
