MAY BE LORD DOUGLAS BODY
Enelishmsn Who Committed Suicide
in New York.

New York, Nov. S.-One of the
most perplexing identification myster-
les which ever developed in New
York shrouds the body OF man in
an uptown undertakers establish
ment. In the opinion of two presons,
it is the body of Lord Sholto Douglas
brother of the marquis of Queens
berry, member of one of the best
known noble families of England. But
according to the marquis, who is
quoted in dispatches from Chicago,
the body cannot be that of his brother
for he says he had letter from Lord
Douglas only two days ago, indicating
that the writer was safe and well in
the far West.
To add TO the mystery it has been
recalled that some years ago a man,
bearing marked resemblance to Lord
Douglas. passed himself off as such,
and was arrested in this country on
several occasions on charges of big
amy. The body is that of man who
registered at the Hotel Aston October
! Is as Maurice Stuart, San Francis
co.. He was found dead in his room
Monday evening with self-infiicted
/ bullet wound in his heart. There was
every evidence that the man was Of
English parentage and had been a
/ gentleman A pair OF oyeralls found
in the room suggested that perhaps
he was at financial extremities and
/ had planned an attempt at manual
labor as a last resort. His baggage
bore hotel labels from all parts of the
world but outside the entry Maurice
Stuart" in book there was no clew
to his identity.
The announcement that the body
had been identified as that of Lord
Douglas came last night from Coron-
er Feinberg The coroner as a physi
clan some years ago had known Lord
Douglas as patient, and it was the
coroner himself who first suspected
that the suicide might be Douglas
He was not sure enough of it to ex
press more than the opinion that
there was a striking resemblance, but
this comment, when circulated, came
to the ears of Mary Noble, an actress
who had known a Lord Douglas in
the West. And last night, when she
viewed the body she was sure it was
that of Lord Douglas. Miss Noble
said she knew Lord Douglas when he
was appearing on the stage out Wes
with his wife, who was an actress, il
1896.

THE STRIKE IN
RAILROAD SHOPS.
Car Shortage Causes Alarm Among
Railroad Officials---Alleged
Vandalism of
Strikers.

New Orleans, Oct. THE Southern
Pacific shops at Algiers are practically
deserted and there way no activity in
their neighborhood today. The strikers
displayed little interest 10 the reports
that a train load of strike breakers is
en- route from the Atlantic coast to take
their places.
Railroad officials are at their wits
end to provide cars for the Texas divis-
ions, as couplainsts from there indi-
cate that there is an alarming car
shortage Is is explained that vandals
have been cutting the rubber hose
couplings, carrying compressed air for
the brakes. 1t is illegal to operate a
train on which the cars are not equipped
with the air brakes. Practically all OF
the shopmen and repairmen who could
mend these brakes are on strike.
Atlanta, Ga, Oct. THE strike on
the Geol gia and Florida railroad was
settled today through compromise by
which both the men and the railroad
gained certain points. Governor Hoke
Smith had ordered Sheriff Ricketson at
Douglass to be on hand with armed
men when train was made up there
to prevent violence, but the differences
were adjusted in the mc"nlimc ard
there wa no trouble. The details or
the settlement were not announced.

Inquest Postponed,

Austin, Pa, Oct. Tn the inquest
into the Bayless dam disaster, has been
definitely postponed, and it seems M,
likely today tibet the whole matter Will
be dropped by the authorities:
Prosecutor Nelson las declared that
he has no intention of trying to hold
the mill company liable. He makes
this statement in spite o: the declara'
ton by Deputy Attorney General Har-
gest, who is associated with him in the
investigation, that il there was negl-
gence in the maintenance OF the con-
struction OF the dam. that negligence
vas reported for the deaths that occur

superintendent Fred ]. Hamliu, ot
the mill has refused to testify at the
inquest on the G, ound thai he does no
wish to incrimiuate himself in the
event OF criminal prosecution.
With no definite results reached b!
the inquest, and with apparently littl'
possibility OF criminal prosecution ther'
seems little chance for the survivors t
obtain any demands for the loss o
their homes. Thomas J. Keenan,, on

that If civil suits are entered the mll

ers, in addition to those already re.

Mcnamara and Ortis McManigal, is
believed here today.
In handing down his opinion refus.
ing the California authorities petition
for evidence found here to be used in
the coming dyuamiting trials at Los

of his reasons that the local grand jury
had not yet completed its investlga-
tions and that facts warranting ad-
ditiopal indictments might be dis
covered.
Special investigators have been work
ing on the iron workers books for
three months, and the results are now
