ENGLISH FEAR RATE INQUIRY.
Think American Railroad Securities May
Be Less Attractive.

Chicago, Nov la special cable to
the Daily News from London says:--
Growing interest in the freight rate
inquiry by the American interstate com
merce commission is manifest through
out British financial circles, and IN
doubtedly some uneasiness is beginning
to be felt lest the policy Of the American
government iniure the railways so as to
render their securities much less at
tractive than they are to European in
vestors.
IF the commission refuses to permit
moderate increase in freight rates. .
said Ivy L. Lee, general manager in Eu-
rope for Harris, Winthrop 4 Co., "for-
eign investors win believe that the Amer
lean government intends to curtail rail-
road earnings TO the point where they
will be Just sufficient to pay dividends
on the capital Of the companies Such
action would be disastrous to American
railway securities in Europe Already
the eager interest in these securities has
received cold douche, as the result of
the injunction obtained by the attorney
general of the United States in June
against the proposed increase of railroad
rates"

"The Niger" at Barre Opera House
Next Tuesday.

A lynching mot seen, but powerfully
suggested political campaign and a
race riot are among the striking Incl.
dents of THE Niger" which comes
to the opera house Tuesday, Nov. Is.
Philip Morrow, the central character, is
a candidate for governor in southern
state. His campaign manager Is Cliff
ton Noyes, his cousin and president Of
a distilling company. Morrow is in
love with Georgian Byrd, young north
ern girl, and expects to marry her at
the close OF the campaign. A negro
employed by the candidate has COM
mtted q crime, for which he Is pursued
by lynchers to Morrows estate, where
he has fed. Morrow already holds tne
Office of sheriff, but to refuse to turn
the negro over to the mob would mean
his political ruin. Morrow quickly de-
cides that, rather than betray his OF
flee, he must sacrifice his political am
hilton. Noyes saves him from the sacri.
flee by delivering the culprit into the
hands Of the mob-and he is lvnched.
After his election to the gubernatorial
chair, Morrow is compelled TO face an
other crisis. A prohibition bill mas been
passed BY the legislature, and Morrow
feels that IL is Ills duty for the benefit
OF the white and black races to sign it.
Noyes has discovered that Morrow's
grandmother was negro and threatens
70 make the fact known if the bill,
which would mean the ruin of his dis
tilleries, is signed Morrow Is thunder
struck by the revelation; he realizes
what it means-the loss Of the prestige
the loss of the political preferment,
and, more than all, the loss OF the wom-
an he loves. But he signs the bill, Some

Dead Alcohol Victims Placed in Window
to Stem "Wet" Tide.


Seattle, Wash, Nov ll.-Corpses of
two men who died from alcoholism were
placed on exhibition in the windows Of
the undertaking establishment Of the
deputy coroner at Auburn, 20 miles
south Of Seattle, in an effort to win
votes for the "drys' in the local option
election held there Tuesday.
Deputy Coroner Connell an ardent
Prohibitionist, was appealed to BY the
anti-saloon leaders for aid. He hurried
to his establishment, where the bodies
Of two men lay. Placing them in an
upright position in their collins in the
windows, above the heads was placed the
sign Died Of Drink. The anti-saIoon
men directed the attention OF all who
passed BY the exhibition.
There was no desecraton Of dead,

The shocking tragedy in Boston
courthouse yesterday, whereby two men
were murdered, both being witnesses
against the prisoner, might easily have
happened in a small court in a small
city, where little attention is supposedly
paid to the detail Of searching prisoners,
but that it should have taken place in
Boston court is a matter for surprise
The double murder of policeman and a
witness will probably result in more
strict attention to the detail of search
ing prisoners. That it will result in the
greater discrimination in carrying fire.
arms, as some Boston newspapers have
expressed the hope, is not likely, for it
is hardly possible to do so unless the
sale Of firearms is entirely shut of. And
the latter is out Of the question, unless
hunting of game with explosive weapons
is strictly prohibited.

BALFoUR BACKS OUT.
Couldn't Garry Supporters with Him in
Concessions on Lords.

London, Nov. ll.--An additional rea-
son for the failure, which is feared, OF
the conference between the leaders OF
the political parties for the settlement
Of the status Of the House Of Lords. is
that ex-Prime Minister Balfour, after
reaching a basis of compromise, decided
to consult the members of his last cabi-
net. Several of these repudiated his
concessions to the Liberals, and he was
Obliged to withdraw his assent.
A last attempt is now being made to
settle the matter on the basis of making
il possible to override veto by the
House of Lords with a majority of 100
in the House of Commons. This arrange
ment, if adopted win continue until the
federation scheme is submitted to a ref
erendum year hence.

greater worth to the state in the devei-
opment of the good roads movement,
which is now upon us. Mr.. Gates is not
only competent for the place, but he is
enthusiastic in the project to increase
Vermont's assets by improving the roads.
To lose him in the present stage Of the
good roads movement in Vermont would
be like swapping horses in midstream.
and Governor Mead has probably recog-
nized that fact, as well as barking to
the voice of the public, which wanted
the reappointment of Mr.. Gates. There
can be no fault found with the selections
made by the executive thus far.

thority to license persons to sell in

contrary to the general law of the

Mix from the Nez Perce county dis
trict court, which sustained the board
of commissioners inrefusing to issue
liquor licenses after the county had
voted "dry'at the special election
held under the provisions of the
local option law. The opinion which
finally disposes of the question of
special city charterrights as opposed

1t is generally conceded that no

NEITHER SIDE COULD
SCORE.
Emmett and Ontario Battle
to a Draw Score
O to 0.

In hard and fast game, in whicl
there was considerable good playing
and a little bad, the Emmett High
school fought the fast Ontario eley-
en- to a finish Thanksgiving Day on
the Emmett field and, while they
themselves were unable to score
they prevented their opponents from
making a single point. There was
game ended over the splendid grit,
and generalship and playing of the
home boys and the victory they "a
ehieyed. For it was a victory and
a decisive one, though no goal was
crossed, and Coach Critics was as
eiated as any of them, as he had a
right to be. Every member of the
team played the game clean and
fair and showed they were true
sports.
The Ontario team was fast and
experienced. They were bigger and
heavier and knew the game from A.
to 2. Weaver, their fullback, is a
lumBerjack, big of muscle and fleet
as a deer. He played like a veteran
and was ground gamer every time
he got the ball. His interference
was splendid and the fact that the
Emmett lads were able to prevent a
score was a surprise.
Ontario won the kickoff The
ball was quickly returned and car
ried into Ontario's territory, where
it remained during the entire quar-
ter and when time was called was
ON Ontario's 10-yard line. The sec
ond, third and fourth quarters were
fought on Emmett's ground for the
most part, but only once; just be-
fore the closing whistle sounded was
the Emmett goal in danger. At this
time the Oregon boys made a desper
ate attempt to cross the line, but
were held by the quick tackling
OF Critess men.
The playing was fast and at times
brilliant. There were terrific plung-
es through the line, fast passes and |
end runs, and many trick plays. The |
forward pass was used many times, |
but it failed as often as it succeed |
ed In this the Ontario were the
more successful. Time after time on |
both sides punting was resorted to
to gain ground. For Ontario Weav-
er and Hardman were stars, and for
Emmett, Garter, Parrish, Moulton,
Shinn and Don Sanders played in a
brilliant manner.
