HEAD| Coppell Chosen for Time, but Mudge of Rock Island Will Get Position, M. P. MEN AND GOULDS AT WAR NEW YORK, Nov. 4.—Arthur Coppell of the New York banking house of Maitland, Coppell & Co., was today elected to the presidency of the Denver & Rio Grande Rall- road company, succeeding Benjamin F. Bush, at a reorganization meeting of the road’s directors. His election is belleved to foreshadow serious differences between important bank- ing interests now in control of the Missourl Pacific company and the Gould Interests, which have strength- ened their hold on Denver & Rlo Grande as a result of the election. Mr, Coppell's acceptance of the Denver & Rio rGande presidency s only tempo- rary, as he I to be succeeded shortly by H. U.

E. T. Jeffery, for years chairman of the Denver & Rlo Grande executive com- mittee, was re-elected today, although it was rumored that the Bush interests had another candidate. Mr. Bush retired from the committee, his place being taken by Benjamin Nicoll, a Gould representa- tive. George J. Gould remains a member of the committes, together with E. L.

Use The Bee's TELLS Mg - | PULLED ASQUITH ATTACKED IN HOUSE OF LORDS Member of Upper House Says if Russia Got Rid of Grand Duke, 8o Could Britain of Premier. CENSORSHIP BITTERLY FLAYED LONDON, Nov. 4.—Cabinet re- sponsibility, the conduct of the war and the censorship were disoussed, criticised and defended at a short sitting of the House of Lords this evening. Baron St. Davids started the dis- cussion by demanding that a full meeting of the privy council, which is composed of some hundreds of members from all parts of the em- pire, should be called to discuss the present position of affairs. He sald he believed the war would have been better conducted by the late liberal government than by the present coalition. The late govein~ ment, he sald, carried on the war with great vigor, while since the coalition was formed no extraor- dinary vigor was notlceable. He declared that those who have made mistakes should be ‘“‘scrapped’” and that hereafter no man should be given office merely beca of for- mer services or rank or wealth. Should e Teld Reaponaible. Lord Willoughby de Broke declared that FPremler Asquith should be held responsi- ble for all mistakes. “'If Russia could get rid of Grand Duke Nicholas in the middle of the wa he sald, “England could get rid of Asquith.” Viscount Morley of Blackburn depre- cated the attacks on the premler and pointed out that when he left the cabi~ net he did not trouble the lords with any reasons which he considered good prac- tice and especially when the country is at war. Speaking of the censorship, he asked the government to take steps to prevent officlal interference with ¢ publication of Intelligence unless it was calculated to prejudice military and na- val operations. The freedom of the préss he declared to be as important as the greatest constitutional issue, He agreed with Lord Selborne when he spoke of the stupidity of the censor's actlons. Everything which made the enemy think the country was afrald of the truth was an encouragement to the enemy. Lord Morley deplored the effeot on neutrals of “the ostrich-like activities and childish insincerities of the censor- ship. It seems, he sald, as though the censors had a slanding order to “keep the barometer nailed fast and set fair.” Baron Ribblesdale polnted out that Premler Asquith had assumed responsi- bllity for “the past, present and future’ and could not see what more was wanted, The lord chancellor, Sir Stanley O. Buckmaster, replylng to Lord Morley, sald he believed a strict and vigorous censorship was required for the safely and protection of the troops. The cen- sorship was designed to prevent im- prudent war cables from belng sent abroad and to prevent home newspapers from printing anything that might be of use to the enemy. Because of lack of experience the early history of the press bureau, he #ald, was deplorable, and its & tlons were often unjust and unreason- able, but never intentionally unfair, The atement that the London editors were dissatisfied with the press bureau as it existed today w absolutely contra~ dicted by the facts. In his experience, he sald, bad news was never kept back, but he did object to cables through this country which “dissiminated German lles."
