CAN'T Be LED INTO
SUFFRAGISTS' TRAP
Chancellor LlOyd-George De-
clines a Discussion.

London, Nov. 3-With Parliament in
session, a fight for his insurance meas
ures raging, and the home rule imbroglio
lurking in the Office, David Lloyd George,
chancellor Of the eXchequer, has found
time to express determination never
to talk to a suffragist without a stenog-
rapher The cause OF this decision lies
in the efforts of the advocates of the con-
Citation bill to trap him into a discus
sion on suffrage through agreements not
to interrupt his dissertations on the in
surance bill.
Reports were spread broadcast that
Mr.. Lloyd-Ge1rge had agreed to such
an arrangement. and after one OF his
speeches in the Whitefeld Tabernacle
a deputation waited upon him, with an
intimation that it was about time for
him to make good his promise. The
chancellor was considerably upset. He
claimed that he had been woefully mis-
represented, and would never, never un-
dertake another private conversation on
matters political without a trusty stenog-
rapher.
1t may also be stated here that Mr..
Lloyd-Gaorge Is warm advocate OF
woman suffrage, but differs from the
hackers of the conciliation bill. He told
the deputation that he would not lend
his support to their measure until all
possible sources had been exhausted in
an effort to set a better bill before Par

organ, Ossavatero Romano, has there
fore reproved those priests and bishops
who, carried away by patriotic zeal, went
too far in upnolding the italian cause.
The information which cabled some
days ago that the Pope is taking active
steps to end the war is confirmed by re-
cent events. 1t is difficult matter, of
course, for the papal secretary of state,
Cardinal Merry del Val, to open direct
negotiations with the italian govern
ment, but he is known to be proceeding
to this end an indirect and cautious
manner. There ore indications also that
Austria is playing a part In this under
taking.
1t is a significant fact that Father
Rosski, the apostolic delegate to Tripoli,
before leaving Rome for his destination,
called on the Italian minister Of foreign
affairs, Marquis di San Giuliano, and on
the Austria Ambassador, having long in
terviews with both. To-day the Pope
granted a long audience to the Austrian

When Admiral Aubry, commander-in-

Rome, Nov. L-The Turkish govern
ment has addressed a significant note to
the Vatican. protesting against the tone
Of several Catholic prelates throughout
Europe who have evoked blessings on
the Italians lighting against Turkey and
have uttered prayers for the success of
the Italian arms. The document included
a polite but suggestive hint that the
Catholic clergy at Jerusalem, chiefly
Franciscan monks, might lose their priv
ileges at the Holy Sepulcher, which, in
stead. would be granted to Greek ortho-
dox priests.
Among the prelates who have excited
the Turkish ire are Mgr. Giani, Bishop
of Leghorn, who ordered that a special
service be held in the cathedral for the
success of the Italian arms. At Milan
n similar service has been held in the
historic Duomo. and at Verese Mgr.
Bonomelli, Bishop Of Cremona, pro-
nounced a speech in which he invoked
the blessing of God on the Italian SOL
diers and sailors at Tripoli.
Mgr Bonomelli is the author of a
prayer which is recited every evening on
board the italian battle ships by the
commanding officers, as there are no
chaplains in the Italian army or navy.
1t is a magnificent hymn to God and the
country.

Despondent Girl

Tired of "All Work and No Play,
Matte Kibb, Aged Fifteen,
Swallows Poison.

Tired, she said, of a life that was "all

tie Kibb. of Il29 New Jersey avenue
southeast, last night attempted to end
her life at the termination of work in
the District of Columbia Paper Mills at
midnight last night. The girl swallowed
bichloride of mercury. She was taken
TO Georgetown University Hospital,
where it was stated early this morning,
that she has a good chance to recover
During the afternoon the girl made no
complaint and seemed as lively as ever.
When the midnight shift was over
she called Fannie Smith, a friend, and
asked her to walk to the cars with her.
They reached the doorway when Mat
tie drew small vial from her shirt
waist and held it before her friend.
That's poison" she said, and I'm
going to drink it."
The Smith girl, supposing she was
jesting, offered TO drink the contents.
I'm not joking this time said Mat
tie. I'm tired of a life that's all work
and no play. Other girls go to the the
Rters and suppers, while 1 work all the
time. I want rest"
Before her companion could interfere
she drank the contents and in a few
minutes fell to the ground in agony.

pump saved her life.

might have otherwise been a panic when

The fire occurred during the final per-
formance at 1890 o'clock. The theater
was crowded with negroes when the
films exploded. and as the cry OF fire
rang out there was concerted rush for
the door. Just at that moment a large
negro arose and forthwith launched into
the song of "Alexander's Ragtime Band" "

the audience subsided and filed out slow

MOROCCO QUESTION
STILLSTIRS FRANCE
Caillaux Cabinet Not to Live
Very Long.

Paris, Nov 4-The greatest danger to
the present government, which has sud
denly discovered that a strong public
opinion exists in France. still turks in
the Morocco question. for as the days
pass by 1t becomes more and more evil
dent that the people Of France are tired
of being ruled by professional politicians,
and want their own will respected.
This was shown by events subsequent
to the resignation OF NJ. BRAND. That
statesman failed to find his majority in
the chamber, because OF his conciliatory
attitude on the church question. 1t
seemed that the incoming premier, M.
Monis would have to yield to the free
thinking and anti-clerical influence and
recommence persecution. Not bit OF It.
The country declared 1t had enough OF
Combism. The excellent II undistinguish-
ed Monis had to continue the BRAND
programme, whether he wished to draw
a sword against Rome or not.
In the same way NJ. CaillauX has to
bend to the popular will The danger
for him turks in the fact that the gov
ernment is pledged to territorial conces-
sion and cannot honorably withdraw. The
action of the Radicals in denouncing any
arrangement giving the Germans access
to the Belgian state is a source OF en-
barrassment. There are many who con-
slider that the Caillaux administration Is
not long for this world. One may hope 1t
is not true, even IL We were to have the
brilliant NJ. Clamanceau back in office,
as is likely enough, in the event of a
change.
Any government reverse that brought
about the retirement Of NJ. Delcasse
would be a calamity. That admirable
statesman has exhibited a strength and
a fearless integrity in office that are,
alas, too rare. II patriotism instead of
politics prevailed in the formation of
cabinets, the great little man. who
laid the foundations of the entente would
be permanently retained by a grateful
country to administer its navy

CAUGHT IN FLYWHEEL.

Rocky Mount, N. c., Nov. 4.-'That
was going some" said John Arnold, whenI
he had been extricated from the spokes
OF a mammoth fywheeI which had
whirled him around at the rate Of $50
revolutions a minute in the factory OF
the Rocky Mount Cotton Milling Com
pany late this afternoon.
Arnold, who is thirty-two years old.
had been working near the big wheel
when his garments were caught in the
spokes. His body did not strike the sides
Of the wheel, and after the expiration
OF two or three minutes the huge hy-
wheel was stopped, when he was taken
out unhurt. .--
Arnold seemed to regard the experience
as highly entertaining. and went back
to work after telling the frightened
laborers in the mill how 1t feels to buzz
through the air at the rate OF $50 revolu-
tions q minute.

COAL ROADS AIM
BY SEGREGATION
To AVERT TRIAL
Wall Street Hears of Inner
Circle Move.
HEAVY BUYING RESULTS

New York, Nov. 4-The plan Of the
coal roads for the Iong-rumored. ''segre-
CATION by which they expect to head
on prosecution by the government under
the Sherman antitrust law has already
been completed, and an announcement
that they are about to be put into effect
will be Forthcoming within a few days.
This is the information communicated to
the inner circles OF Wall street to-day
and confirmed in the most exclusive
financial quarters.
The new order of control will have a
wide effect on the business of the country,
as all the railroads controlling coal
properties win proceed under an agree
ment under which will be separated the
carrying from the mining and selling
activities of the railroads.
The leading spirits in the segregation
movement are the anthracite roads,
against which n suit is now pending be-
fore the Supreme Court, on appeal by
the government. 1t was brought in the
United States Circuit Court in PhiIa-
delphia, under the Sherman law, charg-
ing the Reading, Lehigh, Erie, Jersey
Central. and the Susquehanna and West
ern railroads and the large coal COM
panies which those roads control with
conspiracy I'm violation of the act.
The governments bill of complaint,
which was filed in 1907, makes separate
charges.
These railroads are said to realize that
segregation must sooner or later take
place, and by putting it into effect now
many law suits will be avoided.
1t is supposed to be upon information
of the plans of the coal roads that heavy
buying of Reading stock has occurred
during the last few days on the New
York Stock Exchange. Reading has had
a spectacular rise of six points, closing
to-day at 14S.

BERLIN LOSES REINHARDT.
Brilliant Theatrical Producer Is
Leaving German Capital.

Berlin, Nov. 4.-Berlin playgoers are
deeply disturbed over the announcement
that important changes, affecting the
management OF three of the city's great
est theaters are in prospect. 1t has be-
come known that Director Max Rein
hardt is considering an early retirement
from the management from the two the
aters, over which he has presided so long
and so brilliantly. The abundant op-
portunities. offered him elsewhere, both
in Europe and America, it is said, have
tempted him to seek a broader field of
activity. simultaneously, 1t is announced
that DR.. Otto Brahm, who ranks with
Reinhardt as a director, will retire from
the management of the Leasing Theater.
These changes mean a revolution in Ber-
lin theatrical conditions.
DR.. Brahm will be succeeded by Herr
Victor Barnowsky, hitherto director of
the Kleines Theater. but who will, or can,
take Reinhardt's place is matter of con-
lecture.

venge on his wife. who had divorced him
and married another man, Ludwig E.
Jaeger, of Winthrop. lured his two little
