VETO BILL APPROVED
BY HOUSE Of LORDS
Revolt of Insurgent Peers Fails
to MateriaIize, Crisis
Averted.,

LONDON, July 21.-The house OF lords
passed the third reading of the parlia-
ment bill. otherwise known as the veto
bill, without division yesterday, after
only three hours debate. The revolt of
the insurgent peers failed to materiaize
All threats of the extremist lords to
throw out the bill at this stage and pre-
cipitate a crisis proved a bluff. One soli-
tary peer, Baron Stanmore, raised his
voice TO demand a vote, but found no
supporter.
Lord Morley. for the government, and
Lord Lansdowne. leader Of the opposition,
repeated some familiar arguments for and
against the measure. Lord Hasbury,
leader of the extremists. threatened Il

dicted today with reasonable certainty.

ton of liberal peers.

return to office. II the extremists rally

not more than a score to make the last
stand. and the greatest constitutional
revolution in almost a century will be
accomplished.
Lord Halsbury Shows Temper.
The scene yesterday in the ancient
chamber was more funereal than belliger-
ent. The only dramatic touch was fur
nished by Lord HaIsbury, whose voice.
despite his eighty-six years. rang with
passion and indignation as he denounced
the passing OF the old regime.
Other speakers were diplomatic rather
than oratorical Lord Morley suavely
hoped that this parliamentary operation
would be accomplished without social
shock. and every one understood that So
cial shock meant dilution of the peerage
by the infusion Of new blood. Lord
Lansdowne replied with equal suavity
that the unionists must oppose the bill,
as proposed. as long as they were free
agents. Every one interpreted this TO
mean that they would not consider them
selves free agents when the threat of
doubling the peerages was definitely held
over their heads.

vehemence. pledged himself to force d.

l. The purpose obviously sought to
in the devise of William Sprague in
question, can be effected by constru
ing the reservation as an exception, as
the court is often required to do in
order that the intention of the parties
may not be defeated. a reservation
may be said to vest in the grantor
some new right or interest not before
existing in him, and if it does not con-
tain words of inheritance it will give
only an estate for the life of the
grantor. The operation of an excep
ton Oh the other hand is to retain in
the grantor some portion of his former
estate and whatever is thus excepted
or taken out OF the grant remains in
linn as of his former title. E,ngel V.
Aver, SO Maine, 44S and cases cited.
2. But there is no evidence that the
one quarter of an acre" which VIII
liam Sprague attempted to reserve"
from his devise, has ever been appro-
priated to the purposes of u burying
ground either during his lifetime or by
his heirs since his death. 1t has
never been definitely located upon the
surface of the earth. It's boundaries
have never been marked by monu-
ments Of any kind indicating its loca
lion with reference to the burying
Ground 80 feet square which was in
closed by u fence of stone posts and
rails. The lot 80 feet square is the
only one that was ever definitely To-
Gated, and must be deemed the fun
amount of land that it was the inten-
zion of the testator or his heirs to APP
propriate for that burying ground.
The reservation or exception in the
devise of William Sprague is inOpera
tive and Intellectual to give the plaintiff
title in anything more.
3. The testator and his heirs had a
right of way by necessity from the
town road to the inclosed burying
ground in question.
The lot was entirely surrounded by
the testators own land, and was in
accessible except through that land
it is conceded in the statement of
facts that a right of way by necessity
had received practical recognition
among the parties for more than 60
tears, and that during all this time the
course of travel to the burial lot has
been in a straight line from the bars
at the town road. 1t is also conceded
that by the acts of the defendant
complained of in the plaintiffs writ,
his way was INSTRUCTED and rendered
impossible, and that the burial lot was
inaccessible by any other way than
over the defendants land.
1t is the opinion of the court that
Judgment must be entered for the
plaintiff, and in accordance with the
stipulation of the parties, the certift-
cate must be

RUSSIAN RAILWAYS.
Most of Them State Owned and Oper-
ated at a Loss.

In the face of opposition and heavy
deficits Russia is entering upon a new
era in railroad construction. During
the last few years the average con-
struetion of new lines Appropriated
7i7 miles a year; previous TO that the
annual addition to the railway mileage
amounted TO 1863 mics
Since 1905 there has been a renewal
of interest in railroad construction
and at the present time the number of
new lines under construction, and
those for which rights have been gran
ted approximate fifty, with total
mileage of about 5000.
Taking into consideration. the double
tracking of the Trans Siberian Rail-
way and other improvements of exist
ing lines, it is thought that Si15. 800 G01
is now being spent for the develop
ment of new roads and improvements.
Still more pleasing prospects are in
view. Nearly all the private conpan-
les are engaged in working out prop
ositionS for the construction Of feeders
and new trunk lines in the districts
now operated by them. In addition TO
the existing undertakings OF private
railway companies the organization of
companies for building lines. through
out undeveloped territory is Il common
occurrence.
While the Government Will be bur-
dened for the next few years in double
tracking the Trans-Siberian Railway
and in constructing the Amur railroad
the minister OF ways and communica-
lions is considering the question of
building a number of state railways. A
bill has been introduced in the Duma
providing for the approval of the pro-
gramme of railroad construction and
preliminary surveys outlined by the
Government for the near future. and
for the appropriation of sufficient funds
fer the surveys of proposed new lines
The arguments against the extern
sion of the Russian railways. based
upon the loss under which they are
working are effective and appear to be
influencing certain members OF thc
Ministry though the majority are in ia
yor of building as fast as the money
can be procured. and it is believed they
will predominant for the next decade
despite the many obstacles placed in
their way.
During the last seven years the roads
have been operated at a loss of APP
proximateiy S25.000. In this amount
the shareholders of the private rail-
ways participated to the extent of only

ment of S25 would be precisely as eff

understanding and acceptance of the

therefore that there was no contract
between them for the sale and pur-
chase of the stock on the day Of the
payment of the 500. The defendant
doubtless failed TO give the receipt

inclusive had a great effect on the rev.

these, for the greater part of the last
ten years Russia's trade and industries
have lahored under most unsatisfac-
tory conditions all of which reflected
adversely upon the railways of the
country. The Ministry of Ways and

HAIR TURNING WHITE.
Is It Possible for the Change to Take
Place in One Night?

A cherished popular belief is that of
the sudden blanching of the hair from
fright, worry or other severe mental
strain. 1t plays its part in the drama
and i'm fiction, While history records it's
famous instances. Who has not heard
that Marie Antoinettes hair turned
white during the night before her exc
cution, or that the deeds and terrors
OF st. Bartholomew night blanched
the hair of Henry the Fourth Most
of us have wondered how the change
could come about as rapidly as tradi-
ton relates; and yet so universal is
the belief in this phenomenon that few
have the hardihood to doubt it, And
now Stieda, hard-headed German
scientist, boldly says that it isn't SO
at all This refractory German first
proves that such a thing couldn't pos
sibly happen, and then, not satisfied.
declares that it never did happen.
With equal disregard of folklore. his
tory and medical literature, he points
the finger of douhx, and challenges
MANY long-deceased historians and
physicians to arise and prove their
stories.
He claims that when the hair turns
white under ordinary conditions it does
so in one Of two ways. Either the
pigmented hairs fall out and are re-
placed by unpigmented hairs, OF, less

in a growing hair and the colorlcss
portion gradually replaces the darker |

culous transformation says The Jour

ton This he does in eXtenso, taking |
up the best known instances of suchi
supposed blanching of hair, and find
ing them all lacking in support sutii-
cient TO meet critical consideration, |
much less such control as to establish
an acceptable scientific demonstration. !
For example, he doubts the story of
Marie Antoinette's sudden loss of hair

queen certainly was gray at the time
of her execution, vet this was no nov
city. for she was also gray nine |
months before, at the time the king
met his sudden end at the hands of the
revomtionists.

FUNERAL SERVICES

Attended by Hundreds of Borrowing
 Friends of the Two Families.

The funeral of Mrs. J. O. Mullen was held yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from the Mullen home on East Sixth street and was one of the most largely attended that eyer occurred in Tempe. The deceased being a member of sev- eral orders and her father and hus- band being likewise prominent in lodge work, it was natural that there should be d large attendance of lodge mem bers. The Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fellows. the Rebekahs, the Pythian Sisters and others attended in a body. Several of the orders contributed beau tiful floral offerings and the flowers, when taken to the cemetery cOnsti- uted two full automobile loads.
 Mrs Mullen graduated from the normal with the class of 1895 and since then until her marriage on the 3rd of July last, taught almost constantly in the Tempe schools. There is hardly a student of the high or grammar schools who has attended school here any length of time but who. during his or her schools days at some time or Oth-
