In Minneapolis all of the flour mills, ith thé exeeption of one of the smaller gnes, weré:'stopped, and the o sation 0f this industry alone threw about 5,000 men out, of employment. 1t is Stated thaf the mill men will lose #5000 & week In wages, while the mills are olosed and that the loss of business to the milling coneesns will amount to $700,000 a day. At the head of the lakes where the most fmportant industries are directly dependent | upon traffic condftions, a continuation fc & few jmore days of the present conges- tion will foree 10,000 .men out of employ- ment. The switchmen appeaged to be satisfled with the situation and were particularly pleased with reports from the west of the tralnmen joining the mtrike and the ac- tion of the Chicago switchmen in demand- ing an increase in wages. Plckets of the striking switchmen re- { ported today that about 100 strike breakers ‘were brought into St. Paul today and that they were distributed about the varioue {Twin City yards.

Last night, after twenty-four hours of [ddleness, attempts were made to dlspatch “frelght oyer the Northern Pacific rajlway. T'wo trains were started from Tacoma, one !for the Gray's Harbor country and one for he local service to points between Puget ‘%g«.une and Portland. i Those ' trams were made up by new Phssistant trainmasters and superintendents. One train was dispatehed from Ellens- burg, where it had been held for thirty-six | houts for Seatt'e. This morning local service between Seattle and Tacoma was resumed. On the Great Northern there hay been no moves ment of freight, although the officlals expect to ged omtla few trains today.

MORGAN BUYS EQUITABLE (Continued ne from First Page.) trust under which Grover Cleveland, Mor- gan, O'Hrien and (Arorge Westinghouse were made voting trustees for the benefit of policy holders and it covers all Mr Ryan’s interest, including all the stock purchased by him from James H. Hyde." No Details of Deal. Beyond these bare facts, Mr. Morgan and his partners declined to give any details. The exact amount of the stock bought by them and the price they paid remain for subsequent announcement. Nor would they name any other interests aliled with them, | although it s commonly understood in | Wall street that at least one large trust company may take & hand in the deal if the consent of the Equitable is obtained. Under the terms of the trust agreement referred to in Mr. Morgan's announcement the Ryan stock could not be sold without the consent of the surviving trustees, whose term of power held until June 15 ment for another five years if they saw next and who might continue the agree- tit. Both of them are very busy men and as they have served the soclety without pay It has long been taken for granted that they would be willing to pass on their responsibilities to other shoulders if they could do so without prejudice to the policy holders. Prior to confirma- tion of the transfer, neither Mr. West- inghouse nor Mr. O'Brien would discuss elther its detalls or its probabilities. Ryan Buys from Hyde. Mr. Ryan's holdings in the Baquitable were bought in large part from James H. Hyde, although Edward H. Harriman had lald plans, which, as he suppqsed, were to assure him the control which went in- stead to Mr. Ryan. It was during the hearings of the Armstrong insurance In- vestigation that Mr. Harriman, when questioned on this point, colned what sub- sequently -became a natlonal byword, He was asked If he had settled scores with Mr. Ryan and answered tersexy: . ‘“Not yet’ The publlc added with ready ln- tultion, “but soon.” At the offices of the Equitable !M‘lfl\ Prestdent Peul Morton professed {gnorance | of the transter and news of the change of | control seemed to come a& a surprise to other officers. It 1s known, however, that the directors of the soclety and the principals to the deal were in conference yesterday and| until late today and there iy authority for the statement that the transfer met with their approval.

Rock Island and Lehl NEW YORK, Dec. 2—Announcement was made at the offices of the Lehigh Valley rallroad today that Willlam Moore, Daniel G. Reld and E. 8. Moore of the Rock Ts- land company would be placed on the ticket of the election for dlrectors to the Lehigh Valley company. which will be held at the annual meeting of stockholders on January 18, 1910, It Is further announced that three of the present directors of the Lehigh board will retire, though their names were not made public it s understood that the three retiring directors of the Lehigh Valley com- pany are Messrs. Stearns, Lippincott and McFadden. William H. Moore and Dantel G. Refd will become members of the executive committee of the Lehigh Valley company, it 1s sald. The announcement that the Rock Island interests would be placed on the Lehigh Valley board was no surprise to Wall street, where it had been known for some time that Mr. Moore and Mr. Reld had been heavy purchasers of Lehigh Valley stock. Cofncident with the absorption of Lehigh Valley stock, which caused a big rise in the price of those securities on the Phila- delphia stock exchange recently, there have been numefous reports, that the Rock lsland company would seek to connect the Lehigh Valey and the Rock Island com- panies by taking over the Wabash rail- road. No confirmation of this report was ob- tainable today. It was authoritatively an- nounced, however, that there would be no further changes in the management of the | Lehigh Valley company.

That Mre. Snead was practically at the mercy of whoever was In charge of her during these months is one theory the de- tectives entertain, In this connection they are today giving caréful consideration to the will left by Mrs. Snead, in which all her property was bequeathed to her grand- mother, Martha Elize Wardlow, and two insurance policies aggregating $20,000 on the victim's life, which have been found to be in existence. MRS.DOXEY HELD FOR MURDER (Continued from Page One.) is forthcoming an Inquest will be convened. Dr. Warren found nearly a quarter of a| grain of arsenic In the corpse, which was exHumed November 2. Miss Kate Erder started tbe investigation to determine whether her brother had dled from natural causes after she had traced .|Dora B. Erder, his wife of two and one- half months, to Columbus, Neb., and found her living there as the wife of Dr. Loren B. Doxey. The suspiclons of Miss Erder were aroused by the death of her brother, who was {ll only a few days and had convul- slons at frequent Intervals in the forty- elght hours immediatély preceding death in July. Dr. Arthur Friedeberg of 3439 South Jef- ferson avenue signed a burial certificate, stating that death was due to abdominal tuberculosis and gastritis. He has since stated that he prescribed strychnine and codeine, both polsons, but not in suffictent quantities to cause death. Collected Erder's In o In the two and a half months they lived together Mrs. Dora Erder Induced Erder to transfer to her $2,700 of life insurance, of which his mother and sister were the original beneticlaries. She also, after his death, went into the probate court and clalmed $500 fnsurance on the life of Erder's sister, Elizabeth, who dled the day Erder became {Il. In order to obtain this In- surance, she made an affidavit that she was Erder's widow. Through the shipment of furniture to Dr. L. B. Doxéy at Columbus, Neb., Mies Erder traced Dorg to that town and found that she was living there with Doxey. In Order’ to gahi’time and detain Dora until an investigation ‘could be made here, Miss Erder had the Doxeys arrested on a statutory charge. Then she hurried back to St. Louis and had her brother's body disinterred to determine whether polson killed him. The hearing of the statutory charge is set for tomorrow at Columbus. It is an- ticlpated by the local authorities that this case will be dismissed, Dr. and Mrs. Doxey having beeh married at Burlington, Ia., in 1906, COLUMBUS, Neb.,; Dec. 1.—(Spsclal Tele- gram.)—About 8:30 ihis evening Chiet of Police Schack, acting under instructions from St. Louls, placed Mrs. L.

ELECTIONS TO COME NEXT MONTH Premier is ‘Given Demonstration as He Rises to Speak and Delivers a Stinging Rebuke to Lords fér Rejecting Budget. LONDON, Dec. 2.—The House of Com- mons, by a vote of 349 to 134, today passed the resolution of Premler Asquith to the effect that in rejecting the government's budget bill the House of Lords had com- mitted a breach of the constitution and usurped the rights of the House of Com- mons. Arthur Henderson, leader of the labor party in the House of Commons, an- nounced that the government would have the whole-hearted support of the laborites It is understood that Parliament will be dissolved, so as to permit the holding of elections between January 10 and 2. The prorogation will take place tomorrow. King Wi Dissolve Parlinment, Premler Asquith announced in the House of Commons today that the gov- ernment had advised King Edward to dissolve Parllament and that his majesty had accepted the invitation. The premier added that if the liberals were re- turned to power the first act of the gov- ernmen{ would be the re-enactment of all the taxes for which provision was made in the budget rejected py the House of Lords. All the preliminaries to the great political | battle are being cleared away this after- Loon at Sandringham, where the king held a meeting with (he privy councll during which he signed an order proroguing Par- Uament until January 17, 1910. The fixing of thix date was a mere for- mality, as before that time the present house will have been dissolved. The center of Interest today was th House of Commons, where Premier As. quith on behalf of his government deliv- ered the reply to the action of the lords withholding their consent upon the budget. The house was crowded with members and the galleries were fllled with lords, diplomats and other distingulshed person- ages. The ministers and unlonist leaders, tneluding A. J. Balfour, who had sufti- clently recovered from an indisposition to take part in the debais, entered the cham- ber during the course of the routine busi- ness and were recelved with cheers by their supporters. The nadonalists, who had decided not to participate in the debate or division, ere consplcuous by their absence. Demonstration for Asguith. Premier Asquith's first words as he rose amid the wildest demonstration of en- thusiasm to move the resolution of which he had given notice on Tuesday, were “We are meeting this afterncon under clreumstances without example in the his- tory of the British Parliament “The prime minister pointed out that in opening Parliament the king had Invited the House of Commons alone make provision for the heavy additional expendi- tures In view of the necessities in the way of socal reform and the national defense. The budget was the result and it repre- sented, he sald, in a greater degree than other measure of “our time" the dellberate work of an over- whelming majority of the representatives of the people. In the course of the week whole fabric had been thrown to the ground by a body which, admittedly, had no pow to Increase or decrease a single tax. With much emphasis, Premier Asauith declared that the House of Commons would prove unworthy of its traditions it 't al lowed a single day to pass without makin clear that it did not mean to brook this grave indignity and arrogant usurpation of its rights. The session of Parllament was closing the premler said, without a financial act, and, until fresh provigion could be made, the necessitles of state could be supplied only through borrowing. He expressed the hope that the ultimate loss to the government would not be great, but added so far as the present fiscal year | was concerped, it was obvious the | of the action of the House of Lords, must create the largest deficit yet faced His warnings, he said, had been unheeded and the responsibility of the chaos and | loss must rest with the lords. to tne res: {REVERSAL OF COMMISSIONER | retary of Interiof Changes Opinion i in Case of Rhbiley Agninst Sourwine.
