Disagreement as to Legislative
Program of French Premier
Results in Resignation
of Ministers
LABOR TROUBLES RESPONSIBLE
Determination to Prevent Future
Strike Crises Causes Divergence
of Views. Socialists Against
the Premier.

Paris. Nov. 1.-The French cabinet
resigned today. Although the fact
that there was divergence of views
among the ministers concerning legis
lative measures designed to prevent
such n crisis as was brought about by
the recent railway strike was well
known, the resignation created a SEN
sation as it had been expected. Pre-
mier BRAND would remain and re-
model the ministry in harmony with
his views of parliamentary program
to meet future strike crises.
The exact nature of Brands pro-
gram has not been announced. but it
is understood both Millerand minis
ter of public works. posts and tele-
graphs. and Viviani. minister Of la
Dor. dssented, particularly Millerand,
who insisted upon the principle of ar
bitration.
The BRAND cabinet was formed on
July 23, 1909. About year ago BRAND
delivered his first important speech as
premier. declaring the governments
intention To give immediate attention
10 social questions, especially trade
unionism, with the expectation of re-
moving labor organizations from poll
tics and making them useful and prac-
teal bodies.
Though "A Socialist himself BRAND,
with the responsibility of power, be-
came more conservatives Radical
socialists therefore began to oppose
him. but despite opposition he main
tained his position firmly. defeating his
enemies on several important ques-
tions.
on October tenth he was confronted
with n strike that threatened to para
I'VE traffic throughout France. but he
met the situation firmly and broke the
backbone of the strike by calling the
railway employees 10 the colors as re-
servists This brought upon him the
wrath of the socialists hut the depu-
ties. s4s to 49, gave him a vote OF con-
fldcncc.
Disagreement as To Brands pro-
gram appeared in the cabinet, ending
today with the resignation Of all the
ministers.

TO DISTRIBUTE
PEABODY FUND
BOARD OF TRUSTEES MEETS IN
NEW YORK TO CONSIDER DIS
PoSAL OF BALANCE OF
MONEY.

New York, Nov. THE board OF
includes among its members J. Pier
pont Morgan. x-Presidcnt Roosevelt
Joseph H. Choatc, Bishop Lawrence
of Massachusetts, Hoke Smith Of
Georgia, Governor Ansel of South car
olina and a number of other emin-
cnt men. assembled in this city today
for one of the most important meet
ings in the history OF the board. IL
is probable that final distribution Of
the vast fund which has been in
charge Of the trustees for SO many
years viii be decided upon before the
meeting adjourns.
When George Peabody. the banker
philanthropist of Baltimore and Lon
don. died in 1867 he left i'm trust to "A
self -perpetuatng board of trustees
fund Of about $2,5OOOOO. "the Income
thereof TO be used and applied for the
promotion and announcement of in
tellectual moral and industrial edu-
cation among the youth of the most
destitute portions of the southern and
southwestern states Of our Union, my
purpose being that the benefits intend
ed shall be distributed among the en-
tire population, without other dis
tinctiOn than their needs and the op-
portunities of usefulness to them" He
furthermore gave the trustees power,
after the lapse of thirty years, to use
the fund for the endowment of insti-
tutions, provided two-thirds of their
number should consider il expedlent.
The income of the fund thus far
has been used very largely in the
training of teachers, and the principal
beneficiary has been the Peabody
Normal College of Nashville, Tenn. In
1905 the board decided to close the
trust and offered the sum of $1,000
600 of the principal to that institu-
tion under certain conditions. The
residue of the fund now remains To be
distributed and il is expected that a
number of educational institutions in
the south and southwest will receive
the benefit.
