WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—The most aggressive step yet taken ‘py the United States looking toward the protection of American lives ‘and American interests in Nicaragua, was executed today when the protected cruiser Albany and the gunboat Yorktown were ordered tc proceed at full speed from Magdalena Bay te Corinto on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua. The gunboat Vicksburg already is riding the waters in the harbor | of Corinto and the gunboat Princeton is on her way from the Bre- merton Navy Yard, Washington, for the same port.

The climax came when he executed Groce and Cannon, two Americans who had joined the insurgent army and who held commissions. Zelaya refused to give the State Department any informa tion about the execution. The letter to Felipe Rodriguez, Nica-' raguan Vharge d’Aftaires, is one of the most remarkable that has emanated from the State Department. The strong feeling against Zelaya is frankly con- ceded. The letter says in part: Two Americans who, this Govern- meént is now convinced. were officers connected with the revolutionary forces, and, therefore, entitled to be dealt with according to the enlignt- ened practice of civilized natiohs, -have been killed by direct order of President Zelaya.

OIL DECISION IS CAUSE D aeetnnniietenniaemeeeac sail Railroad Officials Fear State and Government Litigation. Would Pursue Present‘ Arrangement. Reports were current in St. Louis, fi- nancial and. railroad circles Thursday that negotiations are under way for the sale or lease of the Wabash Rail- road to one of the Eastern trunk lines, probably the Lehigh Valley. The Wabash is controlled oy the Gould interests which also operate the Mis- souri Pacific, a competing line. Proceedings instituted by the Attor- ney-General’s office two years ago to annul the charter of those companies on the ground that they had formed an illega] combination ‘are still pending in the State Supreme Court. Since the Standard Oil deoclsion was returned large interests in the Wabash, according to railroad authorities, are said to desire a dissolution of its Mis- souri Pacific connections, fearing the possible effect of State and Government litigation. An Associated Press dispatch from New York says that coincident with the absorption of the Lehigh Valley stock, which has caused a big rise in the price of those securities on the Phila- delphia Stock Exchange, there have been numerous reports that the Rock Island Company would seek to connect the Lehigh Valley and the Rock Island by taking over the Wabash. No confirmation of this report,.how- ever, is obtainable in New York, the dispatch states. Rock Island Men in Lehigh. Announcement has been made at the offices of the Lehigh Valley Railroad in New York that William H., Moore, Daniel G. Reid and B.-.-Moore of the Rock Island would be elected directors of the Lehigh Valley at the annual meeting of the stockholders of that road, Jan. 18. Wabash preferred rose $4 a share, Wednesday, and is now selling at $58, although it pays no dividends. Re- cently it was quoted at $48 a share. The common stock of the company also has appreciated considerably during the past ten’days, but control of the prop- erty is said to rest in the preferred rT stock. ASSOCIATE CITY COUNSELOR QUITS TO OPEN LAW OFFICES Charles P. Williams - Resigns Against Wishes of His Fellow- Officials, Associdte City Counselor Charles P. Willams tendered his resignation Thursday to Mayor Kreismann, to be- come effective Jan. 1. He will open of- fices in the Rialto Building for the pri- vate practice of law. - “I have been in public life long enough said Williams. ‘The Salary I received has not been enough to make me rich. I think I owe it to myself to enter private practice while I still no older than 87 years.” Williams, a Mississippian, came to 8t. Louis 15 years ago. He. was elected Prosecuting Attorney in 1902 and re- signed in 1905, at the request of former Mayor Wells, to become Associate City Counselor. One of the best-known sults which he won for the city was that of Joseph W. Folk for a raise in salary, author- ized by the Legislature for the Circuit Attorney, while Folk was an incumbent of that office, Williams defeated the suit in the Circuit Court and it is now pending tn the Supreme Court. NEW SPEED RECORD BETWEEN KANSAS CITY AND ST, LOUIS Train Leaving Late Covers Dis- tance in Six Hours and 28 Minutes. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 2.—A new speed record between St. Louis and Kansas City was established yesterday, when the Missouri Pacific train No. 6, westbound, covered the distance iin 6 hours and 28 minutes. The train was made up of aah mall and two passen- ger cars. It left St. touts at 2:55 p. m., 55 min- utes late, and reached Kansas City only eight minutes behind the regular sched- ule, ‘here tdoya in the trial of H. Clay Pierce paper in St. Louts that receives or publishes WOMAN HELD FOR BIGAMY AND MURDER, HER ACCUSER, AND MAN WHO DIED OF POISON| PIERCE PERJURY CASE HINGES ON OATH8Y WOMAN Right of Feminine Notary to Swear Witness Questioned by Defense. By Associated Press. AUSTIN, Tex., of a woman and her legal status occu- pied almost the entire time of the court for false swearing. The question is whether a woman act- ing as a notary has the right to admin- ister an oath. A young woman clerk in the service of the State administered the oath to Pierce when he swore that his company, the Waters-Pierce Oil Co., was not in any way connected with the Standard Oil Co. The. contention now made by the de- fense is that this notary, being a wom- an, had no legal status under the law of Texas, and consequently Pierce com- mitted no crime in having her recognize anything he said. MIDWIFE I$ HELD ON CHARGE OF CAUSING DEATH OF GIRL Arrest Caused by Alertness of Young Woman Clerk in Mortuary Office. At the request of the Coroner the po- lice of the North Market Street Dis- trict Thursday afternoon arrested Mrs. Elia Augustine Timpke, a midwife, 42 years old, of 2510 Dodier street. Laura Williams, 21 years old, of Jonesboro, Ark., died at the Timpke home at 2 a. m. Thursday, the result of an operation. The investigation into the death of Miss Jones is due to the alertness of Mrs. Snodgrass, a clerk in the mortuary office. When a certificate signed by Dr. E. Magoon of 3037 Lee avenue, giv- ing pneumonia as the cause of death, was received at the office, Mrs. Snod- grass recalled that a permit, had been issued Nov. % for the burial of a pre- maturely born infant from 2610 Dodier street. Mrs. Snodgrass notified the Coroner, and Dr. J. Reinharat conducted an autopsy, which revealed that death was due to peritonitis. The Coroner ordered an inquest and requested the police to hold Mrs. Timpke.

Thére is a bullet wound just above her heart. Thomas Roystom, agent and telegraph operator for the;ratlroad, who was in the depot when the woman was shot, refuses to discuss the tragedy. A bul- let injured one of his bands. Mrs. Ischmael, it is reported, became insane a few weéks ag0, and yesterday went to the depot to send a telogram. Soon afterward ‘Royston ran from the station to a doctor's office, throwing his kevs to W. H. Williamson, whom he passed on the street and directing him to go to the depot.. Williamson found the woman. Mrs. Ischmael ie the wife of a res taurant keeper ahd three weeks ago became a raving maniac. She recently became involved with a prominent business man. At the last moment he refused to leave his family for her, whereupon she drew a revolver and compelled him. ‘to take the next train out of town, threatening death if the returned.

The warrant says that it was on or about July 1 that “Dora E. Doxey, alias} Dora E. Erder, contriving and. intend- ing to kill William J. Erder, did will- fully, feloniously and with malice afore- thought administer large quantities of white arsenic mixed with his food; and Erder partook of and ate the food and then and there became ill, languished } and died.” Circuit Attorney Jones said that the selection of July 1 as the date on which the poisoning commenced is a mere le- gal formality and that evidence will be competent if it is shown in court that poison administered to Erder by Mrs. Doxey before or after that date caused his death. Mrs. Doxey was arrested at Columbus on both the murder and bigamy charges Wednesday night at the telegraphed re- quest of St. Louis and St. Louis County authorities.

LONDON, Dec. 2.—The House of Com- mons, by a vote of 349 to. 134, today passed the resolution’ of Premier As- quith to the effect that in rejecting the Government budget bill, the House of Lords had committed a breach of the Constitution and usurped the rights of the House of Commons. Premier Asquith, anmounced in the House of Commons today that the Gov- ernment had advised King Edward to dissolve Parliament and that His Majesty had accepted the invitation. The Premier added that if the Lib- erals were returned to power, the first act of the Government would be the re- enactment of. all the taxes for which provision was made in the budget re- jected by the House of Lords. All the preliminaries to the great political battle were being cleared away this afternoon at Sandringham, where the King held a meeting with the privy council, during which he signed an order proroguing Parliament until Jan. 17, 1910. The fixing of this date was a mere formality, as before that time the pres- ent house will have been dissolved. Liberal Issue Manifesto. The National Liberal Federation has issued a manifesto to the country, which may be regarded as a party rally for the elections. The manifesto declares the power of veto must be restricted. The center of interest today was the House of Commons, where Premier Asquith, on behalf of his government, delivered the reply tothe action of the lords withholding their consent upon the budget. The House was crowded with mem- bers and the galleries were filled with lords, diplomats and other distinguished personages. The ministers and union- ist leaders, including A. J. Bal)four, who had sufficiently recovered from an indisposition to take part in the debate, entered the chamber during the course peers’ Our $5.00 Silk Taffeta aists In black, navy and gray; newest styles— +49 25 > -* 3 L.

Premier Asquith's fi-st words, as he rose, amid the wildest demonstration of enthusiasm,’ to move the resolution of which he had given notice on Tuesday, were: ‘“‘We are meeting this afternoon under circumstances without example in the history of the British Parliar-ent.”’ The Prime Minister pointed ou: that in opening Parliament the lxing had in- vited the House of Commons clone to make provision for the heavy additional expenditure in view of the necessities in the way of social reform and the -na- tional defense. The budget was the result and it rep- resented, he said, in a greater degree than could be said of any other measure of “our time’’ the deliberate work of an overwhelming majority of the represen- tatives of the people. $30 Long Coats .

CHRISTMAS FUND OFFICERS READY 70 AID THE POOR Committees Are Appointed and Post-Dispatch Guar- antees Expenses. | The executive committee of the Post- Dispatch Christmas Festival Association was formally organized Wednesday aft- ernoon at a meeting held in the Mercan- tile Club. The executive committee comprises St. Louis men and women who. will take charge of the dinner to be given Christmas day and the dis- tribution of Christmas gifts and bas- kets to thousands of the poor. Before the organization of the commit- tee, George S. Johns, representing the Post-Dispatch, explained the purpose of the annual festival which has been held annually for the past 10 years. He said that it was an act of hospitality rather than a charity on the part of those who wished to give Christmas cheer to those who would otherwise have little happi- hess on that day. He said that the Post-Dispatch was again willing to raise the necessary funds and to guarantee the expenses incurred by the committee. The com- mittee was then organized and A. H. Frederick, who has filled the post for m@y years, was elected chairman. Mr. Frederick made the following ap- pointments of chairmen of the commit- tees: Decorating and Tree Trimming Committee, Charles }. Golterman; Door, Usher and Hall Committee, A. J. Bube; Supply Committee, A. M. Roth; Gift Committee, James A. Reardon; Po- lice and Street Car Committee, Edward Devoy; Basket Distribution Committee, Philip L. Seaman; Basket Packing Com- mittee, L. F. Hammer Jr.; Homeless Men’s Dinner Committee, Brig. J. W. Cousins of the Salvation Army; Coli- seum Dinner Committee, John D. Tell- \man; Entertainment Committee, Pat Short; Table Committee, W. H. McClain; Ladies’ Reception Committee, Mrs. W. K. Kavanaugh. Andrew Drew was chosen secretary of the Executive Com- mittee. The chairmen of the committees were instructed by Mr. Frederick to fill out to make reports at the next. meeting of the committee, Wednesday, at.the Mer- cantile Club. The members of the Executive Com- ing besides the chairmen were: J. L. Hanley, C. H. Huttig, J. J. Mauntell, J. lL. Hornsby, Louls F. Nolte, Lyman T. Hay, Joseph W. Folk, Daniel G. Tay- lor, Otto Stifel, Mrs. A. H. Sippy, O. F. Karbe, Roger Baldwin, George 58. Johns, Stephen Martin and Maj. A. Mer- riwethef of the Salvation Army.

While the naming of a judge 4s special commissioner is unusual, if not with- out precedent, there is nothing in the] law to prevent it and the functions to be performed are quasi-judicial. The suit is one of the several con- demnation actions, In one assigned to Judge Grimm and another asigned to Judge Withrow, demurrers were sus tained on the ground that a bridge com-| pany had no right to condemn property for a railway. The same demurrer was filed in the case before Judge Williams. | but he overruled tt. In the other cases, peals to the Supreme Court have been taken.

They listened gravely, without interruption. “Mr. Hotchkiss here,’’ I finished, ‘‘be- lieves that the man Sullivan, whom we are momentarily expecting, commit- ied the crime. Mr. McKnight is in- -etined to implicate Mrs. Conway, who stabbed Bronson and then herself last right. As for myself, I a open to conviction.”’ “*l haope not,” said the stout detective, auizzically. And then Alison was an- nounced. My impulse to go out and meet her was forestalled by the detect- ives, who rose when I did. McKnight, therefore, brought her in, and I met her at the door. “1 have put you to a great deal of troubie,’’ I said contritely, when I saw her giance around the room: “I wish i had not’’—— “It ig only right that I should come,”’ she reptied, looking up at me. “I am the unconscious cause of most of it, I am afraid. Mrs. Dallas is going te wait in the outer office. I presented Hotchkiss and the two de- tectives, who eyed her with interest. In her poise, her beauty, even in her gown. I fancy she represented a new type to them. They remained standing until she sat down. “I have brought the necklace,’ she holding out a white- -wrapped , ‘as you asked me to I passed it, unopened, to ‘the detect- ives. ‘The necklace from which was broken the LE eos you found in the sealskin bag,’ explained. ‘‘Miss West found it on the floor of the car, near lower ten.’ “When did you find it?’ asked the lean detective, bending forward. “In the morning, not long before the wreck.”’ “Did you ever see it before?’’ “I am not certain,” she replied. “I have seen one very much like it.” Her tone was troubled. She glanced at me as if for glp. but I was powerless. nTWhere he detective was watching her closely., ; At that moment there came an inter- ruption. The door opened without cere- mony, and Johnson ushered in a tall, blond man, a stranger to all of us. I glanced at Alison; she was pale, but composed and scornful. She met the newcomer’s eyes full, and, caught un- awares, he took a hasty back ward step. “Sit down, Mr. Sullivan,’ McKnight | beamed cordially. “Have a cigar? li beg your parden, Alison do you mind this smoke?’’ “Not at all,” she said composedly. Sullivan: had had a second to sound his bearings. “No—no/ thanks,””’ he mumbled. “If you will god enough to explain’—— “But that’s what you’re to do,”” Mc- Knight said gp ae A pulling up a chair. ‘‘You’ve got he most attentive audience you could hg These two gen- tlemen are detectives from - Pittsburg, | and we are all curious to know the finer details of what happened on the car Ontario two weeks ago, the night your father-in-law was murdered.”’ Sullivan gripped the arms of his chair. ‘‘We are not prejudiced, cym P ae entlemen from Pittsburg are betting o r.

The cat, you remember, and the rug that slipped ?’’ - . “i remember,” I said shortly. He glanced from me to Alison and quickly away. “The truth can’t hurt me,” he said, “but it’s devilish unpleasant. Alison, you know all this. You would better go out.” His use of her name crazed me. i stepped in front of her and stood over him. “You will not bring Miss Weat into the conversation,” I _ threatened, ‘‘and she wil! stay if she wishes.”’ “Oh, very well,’”’ he said, with as- sumcad indifference. Hotchkiss just then escaped from Richey’s grasp and crossed the room. “Did you ever wear glasses?’ asked eagerly. ‘“*‘Never.”’ Sullivan glanced with some contempt at mine. ‘I'd better begin a going back a ae tle,” he went on sullen! “I sup you know I was married to Ida a rington about five years ago. She was a good girl, and I thought a lot of her. But her father opposed the marriage— he’d never liked me, and he refused to make any sort of settlement. “TI had thought, of course, that there would be money, and it was a bad day when I found out I’d made a mistake.

The roaring of the flames prevented any statement he might have made from being heard. Boéth was brought to this place imme- diately after the shooting. Physicians say there is little hope for his recovery. He has a wife and several children. ————— |
