REFUSE LUMBER SHIPMENTS
Railroads lnvaIidate Injunction
of Federal Court.


Beliingham, Wash, Nov 2--No
more lumber shipments will be re,
ceived by the Northern Pacific railway
in the Northwest until further notice
This Is the order that has been sent
out to all agents of the company
This move of the Northern Pacific is
expected to be followed by all the
railroads affected by the injunction
issued by the federal court at Seattle
Thursday night, making It compulsory
for railroads to charge the old rate OF
40 cents on lumber shipments from
terminal points on the Pacific coast.
The roads claim they would be taking
too great a risk to allow the excess
freight to accumulate until a final de-
cision on the rate is made, as they
say that litigation will ensne before
the matter is settled and many of the
lumber firms may have gone out Of the
business.
Another contingency the railroads
have to face is the law providing that
all rates must be published and posted
at least thirty days before they be
come effective, so that In case they
decided to go back to the old rates
they cannot do it now without the
thirty days notice

Latest Estimate Of Victims Of Kara

New Bokhara, Turkestan, Nov. e.
The first reports Of the catastrophe at
Karatagh were exaggerated. Instead
of $4,000 persons being killed only
about 200 lives were lost. Most Of
these perished under the landslide,
which buried 400 Of the 600 houses Of
the town.
Karatagh is situated In small am
phitheater among lofty hills. the Kara
tagh mountain hanging over it on one
side and river flowing on the other.
At the height Of the recent earthquake
a great section of the mountain broke
away and slid upon the town. Houses
there were already falling on all sides
from the violence OF the earthquake
and many OF the Iuckless inhabitants.
unable to escape through the narrow
streets enc,lmbered by debris, were
caught and buried. No building in
the town was left standing, the earth
quake levelling them all to their
foundations All the survivors were
without shelter and relief expedition
with supplies has left New Bokhara
for the scene Of the disaster.

FEAR EFFECT OF AGITATION
Outside interests Would End Illinois
Central Warfare.

Chicago, Nov. Powerful inter-
ests in the East are reported to be
bringing pressure to bear on both q.
H. Hartman and Stuyvesant Fish to
end the warfare for control OF the
Illinois Central railroad.
The leading interests In other rail-
ways arc said to be decidedly averse
to having fought out in the courts, at
this time, the question Of the legal
right of one railroad company to hold
and vote the stock OF another railroad
company.
Should the injunction issued by
Judge Ball, restraining the voting OF
Illinois Central stock held by the I'm
ion Pacific and other corporations, be
sustained by the higher courts the
Eastern flnanciers fear the way would
be paved for similar litigation, which
might result IN the reorganization or
disOrganization of the larger railway
systems Of the country. resulting in
inestimable depreciation of railway
securities generally.
The greatest obstacle In the way OF
an amicable settlement Of the fight
for control Of the Illinois Central IS
said to be the personal enmity OF Fish
and Hartman. So long as only the
defeat OF one Of these men in the
contest for control Of the Illinois Cen
trail was involved in the fight the
chief interests in other railways and
In other corporations manifested little
interest. but they see this fight In an
entirely different light when possible
outcome would be ruling by the
highest courts that no railway com
pany or other corporation may own
and vote stock in any railroad char
tered in Illinois.

GREAT STRIKE LIKELY,
Railroad Employees Of the United
Kingdom Ordered Out
RESULT WILL BE SERIOUS
General Tieup Would Not Only Para
Iyze Industry, but Soon Would
stsrve Out the Inhabitants Of All
the Interior Cities.

London, Nov. 2.-The executive
committee of the Amalgamated Soci-
ety OF Railway Servants has adopted
resolution to call general strike.
The resolution says:
THE conference of representatives
of the railway men of England, Ire-
land, Scotland and Wales, realizing
the grave responsibility involved in
the declaration OF a national railway
strike, regrets that the arbitrary re-
fusal of the railway companies to
meet the accredited representatives
OF the men, even to discuss a settle
ment by friendly negotiations, leaves
no other course open but to carry out
the mandate OF our members, as dis
closed in the result of the ballot, and
we therefore recommend that the ex-
ecutive committee issue notice to the
papers and to the whole railway sery-
Ice
Richard Bell, NJ. p, general secre-
tary of the Amalgamated Society OF
Railway Servants and leader of the
strike movement, said as to the effect
of the resolution:
1t means all that 1t says. Not only
tho members of the society but every
man engaged in the railway service
in the United Kingdom will get no
tice We took the opinion of our
members and, knowing that and
knowing also that thousands of men
outside the society are in sympathy
with us. we resolved to call on every
one to come out"

ployes to reach decision by ballot

Richard Bell, M. r., general secre-
tary Of the Amalgamated Society of
Railway Servants, in recent address
TO large body of railway men at
Cardiff, said that a strike would be a
terrible calamity and that the society
intended to exhaust every means to
reach peaceful solution OF the trou-
bic.
The council of the Railway Com
pennies association, in its reply to the
men. pointed out that the council had
no power to appoint representatives to
meet the delegates of the unions. as
proposed. and discuss questions which
affected the relations between individ-
ua1 companies and their employees.
The council, however. added that its
members individually were unani-
monsly or the opinion that no advan-
tage could result from any meeting
until the result of the balloting on
the question of general strike would

The seriousness of railway strike
in the United Kingdom is difficult to
overestimate, 1t not only will para
lyze the industries, but soon will
starve out the inhabitants of all the
interior cities of England, where
there are only few days food sup
plies on hand.

Mysterious Transfer Of zoo,oo0
Shares Of Union Pacific.
STOCK PURCHASED OUTRIGHT

New Holders Believed to BE J. p.
Morgan and His Associates, With
Whom John o. Rockefeller Is Now
Said to BE Allied.
New York, Nov. 2.-There has been
mysterious transfer In Wall street
of 100000 shares of Union Pacific
stock.
Financiers who are familiar with the
situation are positive in their belief
that the new holders are ;. P. Morgan
and his associates. They further de-
clare that h. III. Hartman or his
friends parted with these securities
and that the transfer foreshadows stu
nendous changes In the control and
management Of this great property
This Is in line with the claims that
have been made for some time in the
finaacial district that the domination
Of the Union Pacific is to pass out of
the hands of Mr.. Hartman. Mr.. Har-
riman himself declared that the story
was absurd and that III any transfer of
stock had taken place it was probably
in his direction and not toward the
Morgan crowd
As the story goes William Rookie
feller and Mr.. Hartman paid visit to
one of the largest stock broking firms
in Lower Broadway. BY a peculiar
coincidence the visit preceded by a
very short time the report in the
street of the transfer OF the Union
Pacific stock.
Stock Purchased Outright.
So far as could be learned the stock
involved In the transaction was de
livered in its entirety to its pur-
chasers. who paid for it outright and
had it conveyed to their private
vaults.
1t has been shown by the recent
developments that the two men in
Wall street who control the ready
money are John d. Rockefeller and J.
r, Morgan. 1t Is also understood that
some months ago John ID. Rockefeller
broke with his brother William and
with the others OF the Standard Oil
ard Amalgamated crowd and has been
working in conjunction with the Nor
gan interests
There Is every reason to believe
that these two men are the only ones
In the street at this time who could
have produced sufficient capital to
negotiate deal of such magnitude as
the purchase OF 100000 shares of I'm
ion Pacific at 81, which would aggre-
gate SIS, 0000.
Those who claim to be in position
to know state that the deal will have
direct bearing on the formation OF
the great holding company for the
securities held by the Union Pacific.
