MIR. MOORE PROMOTED.

Headquarters OF the board OF inter
state commerce litigation Of the asso-
ciated railways, representing about "a
OF the largest and most important rail
roads OF the south, is to be moved tC
Washington on October 1, and placed
in charge OF Mr.. r. Walton Moore, Of
Fairfax, one OF the best known railway
lawyers in the country. This means
that Washington will be the legal CEN
ter OF the Southern railroads, and that
all questions from that section to be re-
ferred TO the Interstate Commerce Com
mission first will be passed on by the
Washington Office. Announcement Of
the removal OF the headquarters from
Nashville, where it has been located for
several years, has been made. For
some time efforts had been made 10
induce the associated railways TO re-
move to Washington. Mr.. Moore will
succeed as special counsel Judge Ed.
Baxter, who died some time ago.
The board OF interstate commerce
litigation is an organization the pur-
poses OF which are to represent the sew
eral railroad companies OF the south
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. NJ. p. Galloway, OF Macon,
Ga, will be Mr.. Moore's assistant at
the Washington office. The old Nash
vile office will be abolished the latter
part OF the month.
This promotion Of Mr.. Moore will
practically take him out Of the field OF
general law practice, but puts him way
up in the railroad world. His host OF
friends throughout the state will re-
joice with him in his advancement, but
many will regret that his new position
will in all probability remove him from
the political field in which he had taken
such interest and in which they be-
lieved big things we're in store for
him,

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. II

INDUSTRIAL WAR" is the caption
under which the London newspapers
exploit the situation which has sud
denly arisen in the principal ccnters OF
British industry. Chaos is n correct
description of the effect that will be
produced in the relation OF capital ana
labor in England if the new attitude as
sumed by trades unionism is persisted
in. One Of the principal unions has
deliberately voted n reputation OF the
sanctity Of contracts and III favor OF
their open violation of pledges. lnci-
IDENTITY, they have overthrow their
own leaders and defied discipline. 1t
is not TO be wondered that the British
public is seeking to find an explanation
OF this amazing situation. What means
they ask, this sudden moral debasement
of a large section Of British workmen'
who openly made solemn agreements
and then violate them at will? All over
England there appears at the present
moment 10 be condition OF unrest
among the wage-earning classes when
may seriously imperil the whole trade
union organization. 1t is believed by
MANY 10 he due to the socialist pro-
paganda. The essence Of that propa-
eanda is preaching the doctrine Of
discomfort The socialists teach that a
capitalist is an enemy with'whom there
should be no parleying and for whom
there should be no quarter. AT the
same time they have encouraged the
idea that trade uniOnism on the old
lines is a played out farce and thai
Wape-earners must look exclusively 70
political action to improve their posi-
ton. A combination Of these two doc
trines may easily produce a feeling
that workmen ought to display their
strength at every possible opportunity,
and that it does not much matter u
trade unionism is thereby destroyed.
1t is not surprising that all British Sc
curities are depressed and the general
opinion is that the outlook for British
industry is the gloomiest that it has
been for many years.

ENGLAND'S LABOR CRISIS.
A General strike Of a Million and Half
of Workingmen Imminent.

London, Sept. 12.-Despite the
promised arbitration OF the boiler
makers lockout and the difficulties Of
the Great Northern Railway, the big
hhor congress that begins at Sheffield
TODAY is expected 10 demand change
in the English law that will permit
labor unions to levy tax for the sup
port OF labor representatives in parlla-
ment. II granted, the law promises
to be a second magma charta" to
laboring England.
Trade unionists have already begun
campaign to force the desired change
in the law. The next predicted step
will be a defiance OF the courts, neces-
sarily followed by the outlawing OF the
unions as revolutionary societies. This
will mean secret meetings, police raids
and the wholesale Imprisonment OF
union officials. Then will become Il
general strike. nearly 1900, 900 mem
bers of the 155 unions in England. II
that strike can be settled without
trouble on a scale calculated to shake
the government, it will surprise every
BODY. The only way TO prevent this
development will be for the govern
ment to surrender, Of which there is
little likelihood.
About year ago VIM. Ii. Osborne,
member OF the Amalgamated Society
OF Railway Servants, applied for an
Injunction restraining his union from
assessing him one shilling year for
the labor party's campaign chest.
The injunction was granted The
union appealed until it reached the
House of Lords. At every stage the
Injunction was sustained. These in
functions meant death to the labor
party.
1t costs at least $1,000 to contest a
seat in parliament, the members OF
which are unpaid Obviously it is I'M
possible for working man to find the
funds for an election contest, or to
devote his time to legislative matters
without financial assistance.
Sheffield, Sept 12.-Nothing less
than the return to the tax-levylng
privileges enjoyed before the adverse
decision in the William II. Osborne
case will satisfy English labor unions,
declared President j. Haslam today
at the opening Of the labor congress.
No compromise will be acceptable, "
Haslam continued. The proposal to
pay members OF Parliament salary IS
all right as far as it goes, but we still
demand the right to levy assessments
to defray the political expenses OF our
representatives in Parliament, which
right was taken from us by the Os-
borne decision.
Today's congress is one OF the most
largely attended in the history of the
English labor movement, due to the
fact that union labor is facing more
threatening situation than ever before.
Sectional strikes were condemned bv
President Haslam. An unidentified
delegate created a scene today by OBJ
jecting to the address Of welcome by
Lord Mayor Earl Fitzwiliam, who, the
delegate declared, is an enemy of labor.

The CHAMBER Case.

New York, Sept. l2.--Because his
client Robert W. Chanler, is in a
highly nervous state" Attorney Sid
ney Harris, counsel for Nine. Lima
Cavalieri's husband, refused today to
permit Chanler to be interviewed. He
admitted, however, that there is a mis-
understanding between the singer and
her husband and that Chanler is
anxious that the pre-nupiial agreement
he signed transferring his fortune to
his wife, be kept. Chambers relatives
are determined, it is said, that none OF
the fortune shall go to the Italian
singer.
Boston, Sept 12.-Should it prove
true that Lima CaYalieri-Chanler has
annexed her husbands entire income
and offered him but s. a week to live
on, she is to feel Boston's displeasure.
The report of her family difficulties,
added to by the story that she accepted
attentions from Prince Bolgorruki, has
had a disturbing effect upon the powers
that control the Boston Opera Com
pany. Lima is under contract to sing
here next season, but it is understood a
cablegram has been sent her in Paris
telling her that il the report OF her sep
aration is true, her contract will be can
celled

The Crlppen-LeLeve Trial.

London, Sept, 12.-because an un-
dertaker and a morgue keeper we're
compelled to use enorm GUS quantities
OF carbolie acid to counteract the odors
of decaying flesh in moving the body
found in the cellar OF DIR. Crippen's
house, the acquittal OF DIR. III. II.
Crippen, accused OF the murder Of his
wife may be forced.
When the inquest over the body
taken from the Crippen cellar was re-
sumed, Attorney Arthur Newton,
counsel for Crippen and the Leneve
girl. griIIed the undertaken and NOR
que keeper, who took charge of the
body, with a series OF sharp ques-
tons. He tried to show that they
shoyeled the remains into a box, tax
ing little care to keep dirt and stones
separate. Both men denied this saying
there was neither stones nor dirt in the
coffin when it was taken TO the mOrgue.
They admitted, however, that there was
a great deal OF carbolic acid, and said
they had to use it in order TO approach
where the body was buried.
II was plain from the questions New
ton put to these two witnesses that he
hopes to demonstrate that the testimony
OF the chemists that hyoscin poisoning
caused the death Of the person whose
body was taken from the Crippen
cellar, was conclusion that could not
have been reached by an analysis. He
apparently was laying the foundation
to impeach any possibility that a salts
factory analysis could have taken place
and to show that the carbolic acid used
ruined the body for the purposes OF

GOV. PATTERSON RETIREs.

Governor M. Il. Patterson Saturday
night withdrew from the race to sue
coed himself rs governor Of Tennessee.
Governor Patterson was the nominee Of
the regular" faction OF the democratic
party, and has been bitterly opposed
by the independent statewide prohibi-
ton democrats, who, in coalition with
the republicans, elected state judiciary
last month, defeating ticket for which
Governor Patterson made a strenuous
campaign of the state.
Tomorrow the independents will
meet in Nashville in state convention,
majority Of the delegates coming in
structed 10 vote for the Endorsement of
b. w. Hooper, the republican nOmi-
nee Jor governor. Governor Patterson
in his address announcing his with
drawal declares he will not be an OBJ
stacle in the way Of his party's success
at the polls, nor will he willingly con-
tribute in any way to the possibility OF
success OF the republicans in Tennessee.
He withdraws in the interest of bar
mony and that democratic factions may
get together to prevent the loss of the
state in November.
He makes reference TO interference
Of a republican president in Tennessee
politics. In an interview following the
issuance OF the statement, Governor
Patterson declares that he has no per-
sonaI preference in the matter Of a
democratic nominee, and that he will
take the stump for him, whoever he
may be. Patterson's political career
has been a stormy one, including his
defeat Of former Senator f. w. Car
mack for the gubernatorial nomination
in sensational campaign, followed by
the killing of Carmack by the
Coopers, their trial, which attracted
nationwide attention, and Patterson's
pardon of d. B. Cooper within a few
minutes after his conviction was sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court.
SO much confusion existed in local
political circles that no names have
been suggested in connection with the
matter OF a democratic candidate for
governor.

Probable Murder.

What the police believe tobe mur-
der was uncovered here today when the
headless, nude body OF woman was
dragged from The Niagara river. The
body evidently had been in the water
about three months. Every possible
clue to the identity Of the woman had
been removed. The fact that the head
is missing. has led the police to the
theory that the woman was murdered,
and her body thrown into the river.

Mr. Herman Ridder, who returned
to New York yesterday from a four
months tour OF the continent, chiefly
by automobile, said he was glad that
Mayor Gaynor had recovered, as he
regarded the mayor as the strongest
and best candidate for the democratic
nomination for governor that might
be mentioned.
81 believe, " said Mr.. Ridder, that
1.-THE mayor is nominated for governor,
he will be elected, and | also believe
he will drive out the political cor
ruptionists and smash the republican
machine. II he is elected governor he
will be the logical candidate OF the
democratic party for president in 1912.
THE national issue in the next cam
paign will be the tariff. II the demo-
Gratis declare for a tariff tased on the
difference in wages received by the
working men here and abroad the
marty will be victorious"
Mr.. Ridder expressed surprise at the
popularity of Roosevelt, and declared
frankly that he did not like the colonel
and his methods.
He said: By his wild talk Mr..
Roosevelt is undermining the conf
dence OF the business community OF
the country and OF the world, and
the longer he keeps at it the more
harm the will do. His attack on the
judiciary is practically a proposition
in favor OF mob law. He is so in
fated by the various receptions &C.
corded to him and the general hurrah

ing that be has lost all idea Of reason
