REGIsTRATIoN IN ENGLAND.
John Morley Moves First Reading Of
the Bill and Spsaks on 1t.

London, April 13.-In the House of Com
mons to-day John Morley moved the first
reading of the registration bill. The
measure provides for half yearly regis
tration, with three months
residence qualification, and that
all elections shall take
place on the same day instead of spread
ing over several weeks. as is now the
custom. Mr.. Morley stated that the gov
ernment attached the highest Importance
TO the provision that all polling shall be
done on the same day, exceptions being
made only in universities. If possible the
elections should always take place on
Saturday.
Mr.. Morley said the first registration
would go into force in January and the
second in July. The reduction of the
tune of the residence qualification TO
Jhree months would enable nearly 700, 900
male householders to be placed on the
register who are now debarred from vot-
ing. There was no attempt IN the bill,
ne said. TO carry out to the full extent
the one-man-one-vote principle. Even a
moditied approach to such a proposal by a
formula Of one-vote-one-man would in
volve redistribution of the seats (con-
servatiye cheers and cries of "lreland"), ,
ana breaking up on a large scale of
the electoral boundaries. The bill
certainly limited plural voting. The bill
was read the first time.
When Mr.. Morley was about 10 rise to
introduce the registration bill Frederick
Z. Rasch, conservative, moved to adjourn
the House in order to discuss the failure
of the government to provide relief for the
existing agricultural depression. Mr..
Rasch made long speech on the dis
tressed condition of the British farmer
and other conservatives followed in a
similar strain, to the intense delight of
the opposition who greatly enjoyed the
success of their parliamentary triumph.
A sudden check was put upon their mer-
riment, however, by the speaker, who
sharply censured the opposition for in
| PRODUCING irrelevant discussion and
closed the debate. Mr.. Rasch's motion
was LOST by q vote Of POS to 166.

FIL1BUsTER1Na KILLS TIME.
The Session Of the House Valueless
for Lack of a Quorum,


Washington, April 19.-Although but
one proposition of business passed the
House yesterday, the journal of proceed
ings was of unusual length. IL contained
the rulings of the chair upon various par
liamentary questions raised in the course
OF the EFFORT to secure a vote on the reso-
luton to fine members for absence with
out leave and nou-voting. When the
reading had been concluded the speaker
In the ordinary formula said: 'If there
be no objection, the journal as read will
stand approved"
Mr.. Boutelle, rep, Of Maine-I object
Mr.. Dockery, dem, of Missouri
move that the journal be approved, and
on that motion demand the previous ques-
tion.
Thereupon, filibustering was renewed
the yeas and nays being demanded on the
secOnding of the previous question.
The vote on seconding the demand for
the question was yeas 1876, nays one
twenty-three less than a quorum.
MIR, Dockery moved call Of the House,
and on that motion the yeas and nays
were ordered. BY vote of l6 to 40 the
House refused TO order a call, and then,
at o'clock, IN motion Of Mr. Dockery,
adjourned until IL o'clock tomorrow.
The reading of call for a session of
VIC utluOtEdLlE CAUCUS was greeted WIN
laughter on the republican side.
The call for the caucus was circulated
by Mr.. Springer shortly after the House
met. He secured seventy-lve signers
within forty minutes. The call reads us
follows: I'VE the undersigned respect
fully request that you will call a caucus
of the democratic members of the House
to meet Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the House to-day to consider the
rules"
Thirty-two kilograms were sent by the
sergeant-at-arrls last night to democratic
members of the House who are absent
from the city. Some OF the absentees are
expected to return early next week, but
the number of those who will return Is
more than Offset by those who are leav,
ing to-day, and who will absent them
selves tomorrow.
Col. Isaac Hill, the deputy sergeant-at-
arms, made the prediction this morning
that there would be no quorum of demo
cratic members in the House tomorrow
and probably not before Tuesday.

SALE OF THE DANvILLE.
Judge COT Enters Decree Leaving
Open All Questions of Priority.


Richmond, Va, April 13-Judge Goff,
sitting in the United States circuit court,
to-day entered a decree for the fore
closure and sale of the Richmond and
Danville railroad. The style of the case
IN which the proceedings were taken is
the Central Trust Company of New
York, against the Richmond and Danville
Railroad Company. The salient features
OF the decree, as entered, which is a mod
lncatlon OF the one presented to the court,
ape as follows; The report of the master
commissioner remains subject to excep-
lions for thirty days, and all questions Of
priority are left open.
Separate sale is provided for in the case
OF all the Washington property which the
ooJectors to the decree, as originally
drawn, claim is not under mortgage to the
Central Trust Company.
Ihe warehouses, wharves and other
property at West Point are left out of the
decree, as are also 81 ,000, 600 Piedmont
railroad first mortgage bonds, and all
other bonds and stocks not specified in
the mortgage. This modification was not
made until after there had been quite a
sharp discussion.
The questions left open as to priorities
already discussed and not decided, are
that the mortgage was never legally ac-
knowledged or recorded under the Vir-
ginia laws. There are also questions of
supply liens, etc. The decree contem-
plates sale of the road be-
fore July L and it is understood
that when it shall have been sold, it will
be reorganized under the charter granted
at the last session of the legislature
Thomas S. Atkins and NJ. F. Peasants,
OF this city, and Charles Price, of North
Carolina, were appointed commissioners
TO make the sale. There may possibly be
an appeal upon certain points in the de-
cree by the Western Union Telegraph
Company, the Pullman Palace Car Com
pany, and the Standard Oil Company.

SS,2oo,oo to GO to France on

New York, April 13.-It was announced
in Wall street to-day that arrangements
had been made to ship S3,2O0,00O in gold
to France on the steamer LaGascoyne to-
morrow. The shippers are Lazard
Freres s1,2OO,OOO; Heidelbach, Ickel-

shay $500,000. Lazard Freres obtained
81, 10000 from their bank and private
sources, and of the balance 81, 100000 was
taken from the sub-treasury. The total
Withdrawals from the sub-treasury were
81, 900, 900, which was paid for in United
States notes at the request of the treas
ury officials, who apparently did not de-
sire to increase their already large stock
of treasury notes. The shipment was
larger than had been expected and created
good deal of comment, and there was
much theorizing as to the reason for the
movement

GUT HIS THROAT WITH A KE1FE.
An Augusta Barkeeper Kills Himself
Because Girl Wouldn't Marry Him.


Because a Girl Wouldn't Marry Him,
did it," This tells the story of the sui
eide Of F. S. Kearse, of Augusta, who
was found dead by his own hand in a box
car at the depot here this morning.
When discovered by Capt. Fickling, an
investigation showed that the mans
throat had been cut on the left side of the
neck, deep and wide cash having been
made, the cut extending clear around to
the right side. A small two-bladed knife
was lying just TO the right of the body.
The small blade was open and the knife
was bloody. The mans hat was on, his
arms and legs were drawn up, but there
was no evidence Of any struggle. The
body was neatly dressed and the man
was evidently not bad looking. In the
pockets were found lead pencil, tooth
brush, copy of the Police Gazette and a
blank book on which was written:
mo one knows what l suffer,
nor never will; only by woman untrue"
When the cravat was removed it was
found that there had been written or
printed with lead pencil on the lining
this sentence: "a woman done it," This
is evidently the clew to the death of
Kearse. 1t was learned that for some
time he has been paying attention 10 a
young lady. Her parents had positively
forbidden her to have anything to do with
him, but he has managed to see her at
various times. He came TO Columbia on
Wednesday and wrote the young lady a
note. 1t is supposed that she refused to
see him and that becoming despondent,
he killed himself. A note was sent TO
hin at his boarding house last
night after supper, but he
did not get it as he had gone
out before it came. The note was from
the young lady, but its contents are not
known The first night of his arrival,
Kearse was under the influence Of liquor,
but had braced up the next day and 20 all
appearances has been sober since. He
has been seen several times at the Char
lotte depot and some thought that he was
a constable, but this evidently is not true
as Kearse was a barkeeper himself IN
Augusta. His parents live in Hampton
county and are highly respectable
people. The business he was engaged
In is said TO have been the objection the
young lady's parents had to his paying
her attention. Kearse was seen last
night about II O'Clock on Gervais street
by Chief Radcliffe, wandering aimlessly
about. The chief told him that he had
better get to his boarding house, and
Kearse walked Off as il he intended to
follow the advice. He was not seen after
that, so far as is known, until his body
was found this morning.

ASUITOVERA A DEED ENDED
The Litigation Brought Out a Strange
Story.

An Englishman Loses His Love for
His Wife in the Old Country on
Meeting an Atlanta Woman, Secures
a Divorce and Marries the Latter.
He Gives Her a Deed to Valuable
Property and Then Tries to Nullify
1.-THE Court Decides Against the
Plaintiff.
Atlanta, Ca, April 1S.-A very peculiar
case was tried and settled in the superior
court to-day. John Carbine, an English
man, came TO Atlanta in 1867, leaving a
wife and several children in the old
country Arriving here he took board
with Mrs. Nancy Mccoy, a widow, and
the mother of Thomas Mccoy and Mrs.
Amanda Anderson. He soon became
smitten with the widows charms and
lost the love he had for his wife in
England. His wife ca me over to America
to join him, and, acting under the spell of
Mrs. McCoys charms, he secured
total divorce from his
English wife on the ground
Of cruel treatment and then married the
widow. He had business offer to go to
Memphis but his new wife refused to go
deed to his property here, which would
protect her in case he should die among
strangers. She promised to deliver the
deed to him on their return to Atlanta.
After their return TO Atlanta his wife re-
fused to give il 10 him. One day when
she was away he slipped into her trunk
and stole it. He placed it in his
trunk and locked it securely.

Thomas Mccoy, entered. Mccoy rushed
upon him and struck him terrific blow
over the head with an iron cogwheel,

deed was removed from the trunk. A

stricken with paralysis and died, and
while he was away on business Thomas
Mccoy and Mrs. Anderson took possess
sion of his house and all his effects He
was afterwards remarked to his first wife
and feeling that he had done a great In
justice 10 his own children by making a
deed for his property TO the woman who
had entrapped him, he began the suit to

Anderson. The case has been in tho
court for years. Carbine died several

General Strike.
Birmingham, Ala, April l3.-The fol-
lowing proclamation has been issued by
the committee on resolutions, and will
appear in to-morrow's Age-Herald:
To the Miners of Alabama:
We your committee, beg leave to report
the following preamble and resolutions:
In view Of the fact that the operators of
Alabama, having contract with the miners
until July, 1894 and In lieu Of the said con-
tract and depressed financial condition of the
country having closed down number of their
mines, thus leaving number of miners at
Blue creek, the Pratt mines, Cowbury, ETC.,
out OF employment, causing a surplus of idle
men on the market to compete with those at
work for Lying, we deemed II advisable, in
view OF our surrounding circumstances, and
the low unprecedented condition OF the iron
reduction Of 10 per cent. on the scale now In
force, on certain cond itions; which PROPOSE
tion was rejected by ssaid operators, and in
return said operators made counter -proEO-
sition Of % per cent, which proposition was
submitted to popular vote of the miners
and was re- eiected, and our former proposition
was modified, giving said operators further
concession to enable them to put in operation
the mines and furnaces now idle; but our
SO cond proposition was not more successful
than our first, and in view OF
our deplorable condition, We cannot grant
any further concession from the best inter
ests Of ourselves, the operators and the com
munity. And, whereas, to continue as at
present. with large percentage of miners
out OF employment, through a suspension on
the part Of said operators, and believing
If some steps necessary are not taken in the
premises, we will unavoidably fall miserably
by the contract system in piece meal opera
tion. $50, therefore, to prevent this scheme Of
the Blue Creek or Pratt mines being forced to
accept reduction. and hence a general war
on wages that would know no minimum; there
fore, belt
Resolved, That all work be suspended
after April IA. 1924. until all coal is weighed
before being dumped, and check weighmen
allowed on tipples. Be it further
Resolved. That we demand the abolish
ment Of the present system Of mine contract
ing, and the hauling OF coal on sub-contract
system. Be it further
Resolved. That grand demonstration be
held at North Birmingh am, on April %, 1894;
and further be it

morning OF pneumonia,
David Dudley Field was born at Had
dam, Conn, Feb. ID, 1905. He was the
eldest son and namesake of his father, an
eminent clergyman Of the Congregational
church, and the author of number Of
religious and historical works, and the
brother of Stephen J., Cyrus W. and
Henry NJ Field, each of whom attained
to celebrity. He was graduated at Will
Jams college in 1925, studied law at AL
bany, N. Y, and in 1928 began the prac-
tice Of his profession in New York city,
and from that date until 1885 he was
continuously engaged in the law. Almost
from the beginning of his career ne was a
reformer of the law, and such a
reformer that an eminent chancellor
of England once said of him: "Mr. Dud-
ley Field has done more for the reform of
the laws than any other living man" AS
early as 1899 he began writing on legal
questions, his first book being on the RE
form of the Judiciary System" This
was followed bya series OF articles in
pamphlet form on the same subject,
which were given wide circulation, and
the influence of which was manifested in
the state constitutional convention of 1916
by the adoption Of a number Of his sugp
geStions. He next gave attention to the
practice of the courts, and had the salts
faction of seeing the most of his ideas in
.corporated into the CODES of Civil and
Criminal Procedure" which was submit
ted to the legislature Of 1850 and
subsequently adopted. The system
has since been adopted in twenty-four
of the states and territories, and is the
basis of the legal reform established by
the new judicature act In England, and
of the practice in several Of the English
colonies, including India. Mr. Field,
therefore, may be called the father OF the
court system of all the English-speaking
people In 1851 Mr.. Field was appointed
BY the state of New York the head of a
commission to prepare political code,
a penal code, and civil code. These,
with the two codes of procedure pre-
viously made, were designed to supersede
the unwritten or common law. They were
complete in 1865, and covered the entire
province of American law, and pre-
sented to the people in compact
form the whole law by which they are
governed The codes, however, have yet
been adopted only by California and Da-
kota. The state of New York has adop-
ted the penal code, and some of the other
states have drawn largely from the civil
code in their legislation. In 1865 Mr..
Field proposed before the British Bssocia-
tion for the Promotion of Social Science, a
general revision of the civil and criminal
laws of the nations with view to per-
fecting an international CODE Seven
wears later. as the result of his own work,
he presented to the Social Science Con-
gress his Outline of an international
Code. which attracted the attention OF
all jurists, and has been translated into
French, Italian and Chinese. Mr.. Field
never held public office, except for eight
weeks, when he served the unexpired
term in congress of Smith Ely in 1915.
Both 10 ore and after the war he was q
democrat During the war he supported
the administration.
