TO CHANGE ENGLAND'S WAYS
House of Lords is Prepared to RevoIu.
tionize Parliamentary Plan.

London, March 10. - When Lord
Roseberry on Monday launches his
plan for the reformation of the house
of lords he will present a set of three
resolutions embodying in general
terms the course which the peers pro-
pose to follow in undermining them
selves.
AS Lord Roseberry has been in con-
sultation with majority of the mem
bers of the upper house there is little
question the resolutions represent the
general views of the lords on the sub
ject of reorganization.
The first resolution will affirm the
necessity for strong and efficient
second chamber for the wellbeing of
the state. The second will set forth
that such a chamber will be best OBJ
tainable by the reform and reconstitu-
ton of the house of lords. The third
will declare that a necessary prelim-
mary to such reform and reconstitu-
ton is the acceptance of the principle
that the possession of peerage in it.
self should no longer afford the right
to sit and vote in the house of lords.

Dropped Into the SkyIjuht

New York, March 1O.-Seated in the
red salon of the Hotel Imperial, Broad
way and Thirty-first street, this after
noon, twenty women were badly fright

light over the room, through which
window cleaner had fallen from the
ninth floor.
Amid a shower of varicolored glass,
the women ran screaming from the
room into the hotel Office, where the
manager, Mr.. Thompson, and the
house detective tried to quiet them. A
hurried glance at the skylight showed
that the window cleaners feet had
come through both skylights, after
breaking heavy metal screen and two
thick iron bars.
The window cleaner, whose name is
John May, had been sent to the top of
the hotel to work. He was attempting
to get out on the sill of a window on
the ninth floor, when he slipped and
fell. 1t is said he cannot recover.

A Probate Judge Compared Shoulders
and Eyes of Claimants.
Cambridge, Mass, March 10-There
was another unusual scene in the pro-
bate court today when Judge Lawton,
who has sat 1902 days trying to deter
mine the rightful ownership of the
three-quarters million dollar estate of
the late Daniel Russell of Melrose,
made critical examination of the
eyes of the claimant, who says he is
Daniel Russell of Dickinson, N. D., and
of William c. Russell, the principal
beneficiary under the will.
The claimant, who says he is a
brother of William, removed his coat
in order to show clearly the breadth of
his shoulders. Then Judge Lawton
called the two men to the window and
gazed long and earnestly into their
eyes in order to compare them. The
judge found certain points of resem-
blance. Shortly after his return to the
bench the cross-eXamination of Will
lam Russell closed. He had been on
the stand more than week.

THE PAPER MILLS STRIKE.
Two Plants Involved in Labor Con.
flict-Strikebreakers Arrive.

Observation-Disclosures HrrIVe.
Corinth, N. Y, March 10. Nine
armed strikebreakers brought here by
ne International Paper company were
rrested last night by the village po-
flee charged with carrying concealed
weapons, and locked up. There is a
general belief that any attempt to i'm
port strikebreakers on large scale
will be bitterly resented and will be
sure to provoke trouble.
Twice yesterday afternoon dynamite
cartridges were exploded under rail
road bridge over which strike break
ers must pass to enter Corinth. The
damage was slight, owing to scant
knowledge of how to handle dyna-
mite, and the damage has been re-
paired and the bridge is under guard
by militia.
Glens Falls, N. Y, March 10.-Three

Provisions and bedding are being
taken into the mills and officers of the
company say they will either run the
business on their own terms or not at
all.

SAYS TAFT NEEDS PRESS AGENT.
We Would Understand the President
Better Then, Asserts Prof. Rudd

New York, March 1O.-President
Taft's greatest need is an efficient
wide-awake press agent. This at least
is the opinion of Prof Charming Rudd.

an address before the West Side Y.
Nj. {. A. here Professor Rudd said:
President Taft complained in his
Newark speech a few days ago that
the attitude of the newspapers of the
country was either one of open hos
tility or patronizing friendship. and
he closed his address with the asser-
ton that he would return to Wash
ington and avoid the newspapers.
This is an unfortunate decision.
for the President needs the support
OF the newspapers to make his ad.
ministration a success and a help to
the people. do not say that Mr.. Taft
would be more faithful president
If he employed press agent, but we
would understand. him better IL there
was an efficient publicity man in the
white house"

Marsh and Harris were charged with
having "steered" j. c. Kavanaugh, now
living in Muskogee, Okla, against a
$4,000 wrestling match.
Kavanaugh formerly lived in Daven-

there were others, including possibly
Mabray himself, who might plead gull
