They were met at the threshold bv
what seemed a prodigy, namely. the birth
of Christ from the virgin. His own belief
was that they ought to leave that out Of

LONDON, Oct. ?9.The motion to re-
commit the bill granting a franchise to the
Morgan group for the construction Of the
Pccadilly. City and Northeast London
Railway was Withdrawn tonight in the
HOUSE Of Commons after an interesting
debate. II was made clear. however.
that the sentimen, Of the Housc was over
whelmingly in favor Of the Morgan scheme,
and it was only because it involved a grave
viola' ion Of ordinary parliamentary pro-
cedurc that the proposed action was not
taken
II should he explained that the breach Of
faith, Of which Parliament IA we'll az the
Morgan group were victims. was com-
United 10y the promoters of the Western
half Of the scheme and not 10y the Ycrkes
group. The latter simply bought up part
of the enterprise for parailcling their Dis
trict Railway, paying therefor an enor-
nous price, and then temporarily killing
the whole enterprise They had perfect
right to do this, whereas the sellers had
pledged themselves both to Parliament
and to their associates of the Morgan group
hot To take such action.
The result of the present situation il
simply that the Morgan scheme is post
poned for the one year necessary to regain
Us parliamentary status. There il little
doubt that all the necessary powers will
then be- granted by Parliament
The debate evoked unpreccdentedly plain
speaking in the House, where Ia" partici-
pants, while differing Oh other things, agreed
that the Robinson and White interests

A CITY SOLD
Elizabethton, Ken, Under
Sheriff's Hammer.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 20
Practically the entire city of Eliza
bethton, the county seat Of Carter
county and once heralded as the
Iron City of the South" goes under
the sheriff's hammer at public sale
today. The sale marks the final
chapter of one Of the most gigantic
enterprises ever ioated in this sec
ton of the country. The town was
projected by the Watauga Land
company, which included among its
hackers John G. Carlisle of Ken
lucky. Senator McComas of Mary
land, Robert p. Porter and other
men of national fame. The city
was to be the seat of innumerable
enterprises of mammoth size and
as a matter of fact was actually
decided upon as the location for the
naval armor mandatory of the
United States. All of these plans,
however, were knocked sky-high by
the floods of 1901, and today the
entire property, including over
1000 acres of land, is estimated to
not exceed $4,000 in value.
