GAS COMPANY HAS
A NARROW ESCAPE
Common Council Is on Point of Placing Gas and EIec-
trio Franchise the Market in View of the Companys
Refusal to Accept Main Points of Michael Ordinance
but Finally Defers Action Till Nov "a.

A treatise on "Soulless Corporations"
saved the st. Paul Gas Light COM
pany last night.
A. c. Bennett, an undertaker's as
sistant at 216 East Seventh street, is
the author, and he probably even now
is not aware of the great service he
conferred on the company
The board of aldermen and the as
sembly last night was on the eve of
cutting off all further negotiations with
the company regarding a new gas fran
chise when Benefits timely treatise
came to the rescue, and the conference
between the council and the company
was continued until a future date The
company, through its representatives,
intimated that it's demands would be
modified.

gas company a fiat refusal to agree

MRS. 0. A. GLADSTONE
DIES, A SUICIDE
Former St. Paul Woman Had
Been Charged With Theft of
Diamonds and Confessed.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
FREMONT, Ohio, Nov. 12.-Mrs. o.
A. Gladstone, a handsome and refined
young woman, who has been making
her home in Fremont for some time,
took large dose of carbolic acid at her
boarding house about o'clock and died
at midnight She had been charged with
the theft of diamonds and money from
prominent local family with whom
she boarded and finally confessed. She
returned part of the stolen property
and said she would Immediately secure
aid from her friends and redeem the
rest.
She left the house and came back,
having failed to receive the necessary
aid. She went to her room and imme
diately took the poison.--Doctors were
summoned. but after working over her
three hours, the woman died. She re-
fused to make known her identity
but finally a few minutes before she
died, said she was from ST. Paul. 1t is
believed she was the daughter of r. C.
Paul, of ST. Paul, who has been notified.
The woman had been here for year
and had posed as detective. She was
a stylish dresser and always seemed
to have plenty of money.
Mrs. Gladstone was a daughter of r.
c. Paul, 657 North street, who, UP until
a short time ago, was foreman in the
Northern Pacific shops. She was about
twenty five years of age and was born
in st. Paul. She married o. A. Glad
stone. of Duluth, Mimi, several years
ago, but after a short time they sep
arated. Mrs. Gladstone returned to St.
Paul and lived with her father for a
time. About two years ago she went
to Ohio and has since been living in
various cities in that state. Beside
her father, she is survived by sis
ter, Mrs. P. c. Lund, 657 North street.
Her ST. Paul relatives profess to
know little of what Mrs. Gladstone has
been doing since she went to Ohio. Her
father left Wednesday night for Ohio
in response to a message from Fremont
stating that Mrs Gladstone was dying.
p. C. Lund said last night: al
though we have heard nothing definite,
we suspected as much. She was in the
best of health when we heard from her
a week ago, and so We could not ex-
plain her sudden death otherwise. We
simply got short message last night
saying 'Alvina is dying. Come at once
1t was signed by a stranger. Mr.. Paul
left Immediately for Ohio. 1 know of
no trouble which could have prompted
Mrs Gladstone to commit suicide, as
she wrote us a very encouraging letter
a week ago. believe she was working
as a stenographer at Fremont.
"She brooded over her separation
from her husband and as she suffered
fits of dependency at times in her
younger days, we thought last night
that she might have ended her life"
Mrs. Gladsones husband is employ
ed by the Northern Pacific at Duluth.
He formerly resided in st. Paul.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 12-
The Democratic members of the house
of representatives are indignant at the
recurrence of the "gag-rule'' device for
passing Cuban reciprocity legislation
without opportunity for debate Or
amendment, and they have called
caucus of the minority to meet Satur-
day to consider what is the best way
to protect against this. Many mem
-bers are urging that the Democrats
unanimously refuse to vote. This, they
say. will be as effective a way as any
to call attention to the high handed
methods employed by the majority
party.
1t was given out today that the house
leaders had decided to pass the Cuban
reciprocity law without further discus
sion or delay. The house leaders have
calculated on Democratic votes to help
pass the bill With this help it is fig
ured that Representatives Tawney,
Stevens, William Alden Smith and
other prominent Republican "insur-
gents" may be permitted to preserve
their consistency and vote in the mega
tive Part of the plan is an agreement
with the senate leaders that the bill
shall have prompt consideration in that
body and be brought to a vote as early
as possible, and it is the prediction of
Senator Clapp that it should pass be-
fore Dec 1. Plans are already being
made by prominent members of both
the senate and house to take week or
ten days vacation before the regular
session begins.
One amusing feature of the pro-
gramme is the fact that all the part
depending on the ways and means COM
mittee was determined and even an
nounced in confidence to several news

members of the committee We're ap-

Mr.. Taylor. the company attorney,
stepped to the front:
1T is impossible to accent those
points in their present form. We might
stand for a purchase clause at the
termination of the franchise but we
have no authority to agree to the re-
version of the plant to the city. We
could not think of it,"
Suppose, Mr.. Taylor, we eliminate
the purchase clause which is proposed
in 1912, and insist on the reversion
clause only?" asked Corporation At
torney Michael.
Mr.. Taylor hesitated. Time counted
for much.
Il cannot say" he answered. This is
an important matter and one cannot
answer questions popped at him like
this, but suppose you adjourn. this
hearing until later date. Then, pos
sibly, We can agree on number of the

MINORITY MEN MEET.
MIR. Williams Talks on Proposed
Amendments to the Cuban Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. ia
meeting of the minority members of
the ways and means committee was
held tonight to outline amendments to
the Cuban bill. These amendments will
include one removing the differential
on refined sugar and the elimination
from the treaty of that portion of ar
ticle which binds the United States
government not to reduce the duties
on sugar for five years Should these
amendments fail the indications are
that the minority members of the
house will support the Cuban bill.
In explaining the reasons for the
amendments proposed, Mr.. Williams,
the Democratic floor leader, said that
the Democratic party, in his opinion,
could not afford to allow without pro-
test the enactment of legislation which
was an attempt, although an Intellectual
one, to bind the future congresses and
future administrations by pledge
against further reduction of duties
upon any articles with any country.
The right to abrogate the treaty, he
said. ought to be reserved in this in
stance, as it is reserved in all treaties,
upon due notice being given. 1t is
customary in every treaty, he said, to
fix period for the continuance of the
treaty, but both sides understand that
it is subject to the right of abrogation
on notice.
"This treaty." continued Mr.. Will
