Queer Noises in Telephone May Badly Injure Nerves
The Imperial supreme court ruled that unusual telephonic noises can affect nerves enough to render a person an invalid and fall under accident insurance coverage.

New Second Chamber Proposed To Replace House Of Lords
London reports that in July the Prime Minister will present government proposals for a constitutional reform creating a new second chamber. The plan would largely remove hereditary elements, extend representation to other churches, and let freshly elected Commons appoint a share of the second chamber. If adopted it could reshape veto powers and align the upper house with party majorities while facing stiff opposition from Unionists, the church, and peers.
