LONDON", Aug. 7. Tile liift phase of th
ftsht over the veto bill, designed to re
Mr.cl the puwer of the House of Lord!
over liniHlatlon originating In the lower
rhamber, was entered on In the House of
Commons' thl afternoon when A. J. Bal
four, leader of the opposition, moved a
vote of censure for the government.
Mr. Balfour's inuiTon. of which he gave
notice on Auguxt 2. was as follows:
"That the advice given hl majesty by
his majesty's ministri-H whereby they ob
tained from his m a pledge that a
sufficient number . ..rs would be cre
ated to pars the tarllainent bill In the
Hhapo In which It left this house, Is a
groxs violation of constitutional liberty
which among other 111 consequences, .the
people will be precluded from again pro
nouncing on the policy of home rule."
The former unionist premier emphasised
that he was conscious of the gravity of
situation and the seriousness of the step
which he asked the house to take.
"The ministers," said Mr. Balfour, "hav
grossly abuxed their rights of advising the
crown and by abusing those rights put
themselves above the constitution. They
have acted wholly without precedent."
Premier Asqulth In reply Jeerlngly thank
ed Mr. Balfour for "this opportune though
unexpected motion. It waa the very thing
that the government wanted."
"We took the only course consistent with
honor and a true regard for the dignity
of the crown." j
Mr. Asqulth maintained that the only
method of dealing with the situation waa
through the use of the royal prerogative.
"I hold my office," he added, "not only
by the favor of the crown, but on behalf
of the people, and I should be guilty in
deed, of treason, if at the moment of a
great struggle I were to betray 'their
trust"

republican members of the house, sched
uled for this afternoon at Georgetown

assist in the work of the Washington
Playgrounds association.
Representatives Webb of North Carolina
waa slated to pitch for the democrats.
While Representative Oldfleld of Arkansas
was expected to catch. Other democratlo
players follow:
Reilly, Connecticut, first base; Klnkead,
New Jersey, second base; Harrison, Mis
sissippi, third base: Carter, Oklahoma,
short stop; Driscoll, New York, left field;
Murry, Massachusetts, center field;
Hughes, New Jersey, right field, with Hef
Iln, Alabama; Curley, Massachusetts, and

McCabe Questioned
About His Activity
f or Benzoate of Soda
Solicitor Tells Committee that Mann
facturen Not Using It Were Mak
ing Fight on Remsen Board.
WASHINGTON, Aug." 7. The activity of
George P. McCabe, solicitor of the Agri
cultural department in trying to uphold the
famous antl-Wiley bensoate of soda decision
by the Remsen board and Secretary Wilson
was probed today before the house com
mittee on agricultural expenditures.
Mr. McCabe admitted .that before the
national convention of state food and dairy
Inspectors at Denver in 1S09 he had on an
official trip through several states "inter
viewed every man I could get at and told
him to come to Denver and uphold the
department's ruling."
This campaign to secure an endorsement
of the antl-Wlley ruling from the national
gathering, Mr. McCabe said, was fully Jus
tified because the manufacturers 'who did
not use the bensoate of soda In their foods
were making an advertising campaign and
were trying to gain noterlety by opposing
Secretary Wilson and the Remsen board.
A letter written by Mr. McCabe to Dr.
Wiley In September, 1910, challenging the
latter's statements that there were 25,000
"cure-alls' and patent medicines on the
market, was introduced.

the unruly elements in th eclty, who took
advantage of the strike to destroy property.
It is represented that Roe did not per

recall would test th esentlment of the pub
lic President N. W. Harris of Chicago, head
of the Des Moines city railway, who ar

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Samuel Gom
pers, president of the American Federa
tlon of Labor, in discussing today the In
Junction which has temporarily broken
the street car strike in Des Moines, said:
"The Judge's order is simply the logic a
result of an Illogical promise. It is th
natural development of the unnatura.
abuse of the injunction. The whole pollc.'
of the species of injunction has been t

BECKEMEYER QUESTIONED
BY LORIMER'S ATTORNEY
Representative as It Was Under
stood that Abrahams Was to
Lead Break.
Washington, Aug. 7. The first thing
counsel for Senator Lorlmer did today
when former Representative H. J. C.
Beckemeyer, who claims he was paid for
voting for Lorlmer, was turned over for
cross-examination ' before the Senator
Lorlmer committee was to elicit from the
witness a oonfessioa. of falsehood.
"When Charles A. White and Detective
Turner came to you to verify the story
th Chicago Tribune was going to print,
you told them you had not received any
money from Lee O'Neill Browne or Robert
E. Wilson, didn't your' asked Attorney
Elbrldge Hanecy.
"Yes, sir," replied Beckemeyer.
"And in so doing you lledT"
"Yes." '
"And you knew you wer lying r
"Yes, sir."
Beckemeyer said it was true that he
voted for Lorlmer of his own free will and
accord. H decided that way he said, a
few minutes before he voted, after a talk
with Representative George Alshuler who
shouted: "For anybody who could beat
Hopkins."
Without ever having heard anyone say
that "Manny" Abrahams received money
tor voting for Lorlmer, Beckemeyer said
he inferred that Abrahams was connected
very closely with th matter; that Abra
hams waa closer te Brown than the wit
ness and that Brown had told th demo
crats that they wer to vote for a re
publican when "Manny" did.

Sympathy.
Enthusiastic endorsement of J. M. Dunkel
of Grand Island, the present bead of the
state association, for the presidency of the
National Association of Sheriffs, was the
out com of the state convention which
met yesterday afternoon at the cour house.
Plans were laid for a most strenuous
campaign, every 'Nebraska sheriff agreeing
to make himself a committee of one to
work for Dunkel. They started things
off with a rush by aranglng to go to the
depot in a bunch and meet a party of Mis
souri sheriffs, who were to arrive last
nlgbt
The race lies between three men appar
antly. Charles W. Peters of Chicago,' 111.,
the present incumbent of the office Is being
talked of for re-elcUon. Louis Eckhardt
of Davenport, la., has a strong bunch of
boosters who are pushing him for the Job
and tagging everyone they met with a
button. Dunkel la th third.
Fairbury, Neb., was suggested by Sec
retary James Churnsld from that city, as
th meeting place for th convention to be
held In December, and waa approved of by
the delegates without a dissenting vote.
A resolution of sympathy was voted for
the family of Sheriff Claude E. Fuller, who
was shot and killed while In the discharge
of his duty last May when he attempted
to arrest a man at Pawnee City.
It was voted that the association pay the
attorney's fees and court costs of the ac
tion brought by Sheriff Dunkel in Hall
county to get the decision of the supreme
court on an lnterpreatlon of the law In
regard to the payment of sheriffs fees.
Each member of the association was as
sessed S15.
Sheriff Hoagland of Lincoln, who retires
this year after continuous service in some
police activity since 1878, mad a few re
marks apropos of his sorrow at having to
leave as a good a crowd of sheriffs, and
waa warmly applauded. Sheriff Hoagland
is th oldest sheriff in th state In point
of service.
Sheriff Bralley of Douglas oounty, who
also retires this year, ' mad a similar
speech of farewell, assuring the sheriffs,
however, that he would be present at the
Pawn City convention next December.
Maay Are Present.
Nearly fifty counties were represented
at the convelton, and among the
crowd there are men who have statewide
reputations. J. M, Dunkel of Grand Is
land, president. Is the man who cornered
the notorious "Shorty Gray" with two
companions on an island on the Platte river
last spring. Gray is alleged to have been
the ring leader of the desperate band of safe
blowers who terrorized Dankers in Ne
braska last year, was captured after a
hard tight, and after he had escaped from
a sheriff's poss at Norfolk where he had
his gun shot out of his band.
W. F. Sammona of Kearney Is called the
"horse thief sheriff" by his conferees, as
he is known to hold the record for catch
ing th largest number of that particular
brand of criminals.
O. D. Hedge of Webster county Is a proud
possessor of the title, "The Biggest Sheriff
If th But of Nebraska." He tips th
beam at 242 pounds and says that he
doesn't hedge for anybody, not even
Sheriff Bralley of this county, whom he
admits, however, is no spring chicken
when It comes to slse.

The house resolution merely provides for
the re-BubmlBslon of this feature to th
house. The Nelson substitute also differs
from the house resolution in that It makes
no requirement that the people of New
Mexico provide an easier way of amend
ing the constitution.
The debate begun today promised to be
a lengthy one. The agreement for a vote
today is for th "legislative" and not the
calendar day, which means that by recess
ing each evening the senate can carry its
discussion through several calendar days.
Senator Polndexter of Washington spoke
in defense of the initiative, referendum
and recall features of the Arizona consti
tution. He declared it was a travesty on self
government to try to compel the people of
Arizona to adopt a constitution which they
themselves do not want, but which the peo
ple of other states think they should have.
That there has arisen during the last
few years a quiet, subtle way of getting rid
of federal Judges was a startling declara
tion in the debate made by Senator Borah
of Idaho in opposing the Judiciary recall.
He asserts that the department had found
a way of having federal Judges removed if
their opinions did not suit th department
heads. ,
Senator Root of New York spoke In op
position to th recall of Judges feature -ot
the Arlsona constitution and In favor of the
Nelson substitute to the house bill.
