Eaton. Cleveland utilities and steel magnate, who is reported to be prepared to block Grace’s efforts with the majority vote necessary.

The house of commons Wednesday night was the scene of the wildest excitement in months. Announcement of the adverse vote was greeted with cheers, the waving of paper, and cries of “Resign! Resign!” In the midst of the uproar, Stanley Baldwin, former conservative premier, arose and asked MacDonald point blank whether he intended to continue with his bill. | “I am amazed at the question.” MacDonald replied. “The honorable gentleman, two days hence, will have an opportunity to move for a : vote of censure. I shall be glad to i accommodate him by suggesting that if he should make the vote of censure general, we accept the decision, but as far as this division is concerned, the vote was on a. provision which was optional from beginning to end.” President Wilson appointed two Negroes to federal offices during his first term which were confirmed by the senate.
