PREPARING FOR
ANOTHER STRIKE.

London, Oct. 23.-"We must have
higher pay and shorter hours or
there will be such striks as will
stop every wheel on every railroad
in England before Christmas" said
Chairman Henderson OF the Execu-
tive Committee Of the British Anal
gamated Society of Railway Servants
today.
Henderson's declaration follows the
adoption of resolutions at railroad
mems meetings throughout Great
Britain yesterday repudiating the
findings of the commission charged
with arbitration of last AuSust's
strike on the British railroads.
The arbitration commission was
chosen through the efforts OF the
board OF trade The men say, how
ever. that they did not pledge them
selves to accept its findings but only
declared an armistice in the hope that
it might accomplish something. The
commission was dominated by the
employing classes, and though it made
some small concessions to the men,
according TO the terms of the award
hey are not to become effective
until July 1912.
The executive committees of the
various unions included in the Anal
gamated Society will hold national
conference shortly to formulate fresh
demands. The average wages, for all
classes of employees on the British
railroads, is about $3.50 weekly.

DEATH Of JOHN R.
WALSH Of CHICAGO
Former Financier Who was Released
From Prison Last Week Sud-

HEART FAILURE
Yesterday tile Former Banker Conn

day.

Chicago. Oct 23.--John R. Walsh,
former iinancier, released on parole
from Leavenworth penitentiary just
week ago, after serving part of a
five year sentence for bank wreck
ing. died here today Of heart failure.
Walsh was IA years of age. He
came TO Chicago in the early days and
gained preeminence in financial cir
cles through astute business methods.
1t was on December 16, 1905, how
ever, that the fnancier overstepped
the strict limits OF the national bank
ing laws in his conduct of the Chi
cago National bank. OF which he was
president. That institution failed. On
January ,, 1907, Walsh was indicted
Oh 1S2 counts charged with wreck
ing" the bank. Through three years
OF litigation the financier fought des-
perately to stave off a prison SEN
tence, but the supreme court Of the
United States on January II, 1910,
refused an appeal and two days lat
er the former bank president began
his five year term at Learenworth

THE FIGHTING IN TRIPOLT.

The fighting at Benghazi between
the Italians and the Turks has been
of the fiercest character.
After an engagement which lasted
all day, October 10, the Turks re-
turned to the charge during the night.
They made a savage onslaught upon
the italian camp, but were repulsed.
In the morning the Italian forces oc-
cupied the city.
The Turkish losses were very heavy
and the Italian dead numbered not
less than 100.
There are good grounds for believ-
ing that the Italian forces at Ben
ghazi have been severely handled By
the Turks and their Arab auXiliaries.
It is understood that the Italian loss
es are much heavier than officially re-
ported Color is given to this belief
by the hurried departure for Ben
ghazi of four warships and the hos
pital ship Reina Margherita.
Steamer passengers who went to
Benghazi but who were unable to
land, say that the Turks and Arabs
have displayed reckless bravery in
making furious night attacks on the
small Italian force intrenched there.
There are also reports of massacres
of Christians at Derma and Ben
ghazi. but no confirmation of these
has been received.

SIX YEAR. OLD SON
CONV|CTS FATHER
Child's Testimony May Be Used to
Prove Motive for Mcfarland
Murder Case
POISON WAS USED
Prosecutor Believes Husband Killed
wife i'll order to Marry Another Wo-
man. Manslaughter Charge VIII be
Brought it Murder ase is Not Proven

Newark, n. j.. Oct. 23.-Should
Allison Mcfarland be convicted of
poisoning his wife with cyanide Of
potassium last Tuesday night, his
own son, 6 year old Robert, will
have more to do than any other wit
ness with putting the moose about
his own fathers neck, according to the
view prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott takes
of the case today.
1t is the prosecutors theory that
the motive for the murder charged
against Mcfarland is to be found in
the latter's alleged anxiety to marry
Miss Florence Bromley, OF Philadel-
phia, from whom Mott says a num-
tising man were found in the Mac
Farland home after the wife's death.
In support of this theory the prosecu-
tor believes Robert knows much about
trips said to have been taken by his
father to Philadelphia recently, and
upon the child's testimony he hopes
to build up strong case when the
prisoner is brought to trial.
Wholly ignorant Of the role the
prosecutor has in mind for him. Rob-
ert and his two-year-old sister. Ruth,
are detained at the home Of friends.
MacFarland's plan was to send them
to the home of his father-in-law, Geo.
A. Crockett, of Rockland, Me-, and
it was at Motifs request that Oscar A.
Clifford, who lives adjoining the
MacFarland home, took charge OF
them when their father was arrested
The prosecutor has issued order
preventing anyone by himself from
talking with the MacFarland boy con-
ceruing his lather's Journeys to Phil-
adelphia.
Mott had contemplated from the
first the pushing of a manslaughter
charge, against the advertising man,
on the ground that the keeping of a
deadly poison in a bottle which ii
was possible for his wife to mistake
for one containing a harmless brom-
ide solution, constituted a degree OF
carelessness which could notbe con-
doned. The letters limiting, as the
prosecutor thinks, at desire on Mac
Farland's part. TO have his wife out
of the way that he might wed another
woman, formed the basis for the
more serious charge.

DEATHS AT FIRE
IN CONSTANTINOPLE
Between Forty and Fifty Persons Per-
sons Perish-The Fire Still Raging
death Roll Make Increase.

Constantinople, Oct. 23.-The
death roll will be much longer than
originally believed, it is certain to-
day, as a result of the fire which be-
gan Saturday night in the Sultan
Bayezid quarter of Stamboul and 1t
is not yet entirely subdued. 1t is es-
timated the victims will number at
least 40 or so. AS usual in Constan-
tinople fires, most of the fatalities
were due to occupants of burning
houses lowering themselves into the
cisterns under the dwellings where
they are literally boiled to death.
More than 1000 buildings have al
ready been burned.

Rome is convinced today that Car

audience is now more than week
old but its significance has just be-

In connection with today's gossip
it is recalled that the present Pope's

GUARDS PATROL
OKLAHOMA TOW y

Coweta, Okla, Oct. 23.-Practical-
ly under martial law, while uniformed
national guards patrol her streets,
Coweta today affected strained
calm, following the outbreak OF race
war yesterday which resulted in the
killing of two men and the serious
injury of two others.
Early today q special train from
Muskogee, bearing a company OF ma
tional guards. pulled into the little
station here and the soldiers, with
rifles loaded and bayonets fixed, filed
out and took up their position on
Main street, prepared to quell any
disturbance by sheer force ofearn!s.
Despite the early hour at which the
troops arrived, the town was still
alive with a seething, muttering mob
Of men, their set faces indicating a
resolve to resist to the last the
threatened invasion of the blacks
from the outlying districts, which
was threatened as a result of the
lynching Of Ed Suddeth, a negro,
yesterday, after Suddeth had shot
and killed City Attorney ]. d. Bear-
er. and wounded Carmen Oliver and
Stcller Thompson, white men. The
trouble started with the action OF
half drunken negro, Edward Ruse,
in jostling 4 white man named Swaz-
er, and white girl with whom he
was walking, off the sidewalk.
Swazer struck the negro and an
other white man came to his aid,
holding Ruse while SwaZer beat him.
Ruse on being released, went at once
to his cabin and procured long
knife which he displayed on the
streets, saying that he was looking for
the man who held him. When or
dered by the city marshal Hurl TO
give up the weapon he refused, and
during the alteration. Ed Suddeth,
another negro, fired into the group
from across the street, killing BeaT-
ers and wounding the other two men.
This was the signal for the outbreak
which eliminated in the lynching of
Suddeth by the mob and the rumor
that the blacks were marching on the
town. Auskogee, 20 miles away, was
Immediately notified and the national
guards hurried to the scene in spe-
cial train.
Up to the time OF their arrival
citizens of Coweta were almost panic
stricken, for the supply of ammuni-
tion was small. and it was feared
that the blacks, if they made con-
certed attack, would have COM
paratively easy time in destroying
the town. which is without fire pro-
tection The bitter feeling between
the whites and blacks threatens hour
ly to flame out in renewal of the
race war despite the presence OF
troops.

The Boston police declared today
they had found young woman who
met Miss Linnell late Saturday after
noon, when she was on her way 10
her rooms in the Y w. c. A., where
later she was found dead. According
to the police. this girl told them that
Miss Linnell said she had been to
lunch with DR.. RicheSon and that
she was on her way to her rooms, be-
cause she had a headache" The
police claim that, following this clue
they located the restaurant in which
the couple had luncheon Saturday.
If this statement can be confirmed
in court it will be damaging blow
to Richeson, who all along has con-
tended that he did not see Miss Lin
nell on the Saturday on which she
died. 1t was on that day, the police
aver, that he gave her the drug
which killed her The police refuse
to tell the name of the girl who gave
them the clue or the name OF the res
taurant where the couple lunched.
They maintain, however. that attach
es OF the restaurant remember see
ing Richeson and Miss Linnell there
on Saturday.
Chief Inspector of Police Dugan
declared today this last important link
completed the chain Of evidence
against Richeson and that he believed
that first degree murder conviction
might be obtained on the evidence al
ready on hand.
"The only thing that was lacking
was a motive" said Dugan. land we
have established two. One was to
get rid of the little sweetheart of the
simpler Hyannis days, whom he had
so cruelty wronged, and the other was
the lure Of gold.
"Richeson was mad for money
He lived beyond his means and was
in debt. Each succeeding girl in
whom he showed an interest had
more money than the girl before.
Miss Linnelrs father was only COM
fortably fixed; Miss Edmands' father
was a millionaire.
Dugan pointed out that Richeson
had borrowed $3.50 from Miss pat
sy" Feltz of Kansas City, to continue
his ministerial studies and declared
the state would show at the trial that
other girls to whom Richeson had
been engaged had frequently loaned
him money.
The action of the Emmanuel Bap-
tist Church Of Cambridge is being
awaited with interest. Richeson's
resignation was expected yesterday
but was not forthcoming. Members
of the church are said to hold that
he should resign if only to clear the
church of the notoriety now hang
ing around it and some action is eX-
pected shortly. Two services were
held in the church yesterday but no
mention was made of the arrest Of
the pastor.

Philadelphia, Oct. 23.-The team
that flies the worlds championship
"baseball" peanant may have to win
il in a water polo contest or an ice
hockey exhibition. If it rains a
few more days Shibe Park will devel-
on into one OF the best natatoriums in
the world. A cold snap may freeze
up the pond and force the next games
to be played on skates.
Today's game was officially declared
off today because of wet grounds.
Rain fell all night. Stopping early this
morning. But the skies remained
overcast. Borrowing submarine boat
from the navy yard. four hardy sea-
faring men who are known on dry
land as umpires, essayed trip thru
Shibe Park at Z o'clock. The peri
scope of the submarine was hardly
visible, as the little vessel rested on
the spot where home plate once was
located. After deep-sea diving eX-
hibition through the outfield, the
mariners reported that today's game
might be played only in ocean liners
or airships, unless the swimmers
were unusually hardy.
So the National Commission ma
rooned on the second story OF a
down town hotel wirelessed TO the
waiting world that there was moth
in doin.
There is a bare possibility that
even tomorrow's game will have to
be called Off Unless hydraulic
pumps are called into play, 1t seems
impossible to drain the playing field
in time for play tomorrow. Nature
herself can hardly do the job, and
there isn't enough blotting paper in
the City of Brotheriy Love TO turn
the trick.
The greatest worlds series, in point
of attendance, may end in a tizzle.
1t started with a whoop-but six
days of inactivity has put blight
upon the prospects. Fans could
stand a day or two or rest whilst
playing the games all over again
around the stove, but with the expira-
tion of the third day they were even
through panning Snodgrass for spik-
ing Baker, and today there isn't a
thing III the world they can fan about.
Both managers, too, plainly show
the fear they feel ever the delay.
Players keyed up to high tension
for so important a series are liable
to go to pieces after so long lay
off. The advantage, if there be one,
rests with the Giants. MathewsoI
and Marquard have had season OF
unrequited rest and both should
be able to do slab duty. Mathew
son is believed to be McGraws first
choice for the game next Christmas
day. if the series is begun again be-
fore that time. Chief Bender, it is
believed, will try to lift Matty's
scalp if the series is resumed before
the snow flies.

HIGH PRICES
TO DROP
ASSOCIATED Press Cable.)


CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-When the Prod
uce Exchange opens for business to-
morrow morning it is expected that
there will be such tremendous tum-
bling in prices of certain products that
almost q panic will result, in which
those overloaded with stock will suffer
greatly, financially.
All over the country the prices of
necessaries of life will go down with
a rush, and it is asserted that many
commission men today face failure in
consequence, although housewives will
rejoice.
Emptyine Storehouses.
This sudden and unexpected change
in the present, high prices of living, so
far as certain lines of edibles are con-
cerned, is due to the emptying of the
cold storage warehouses, which have
been jammed full of goods for varying
lengths of time, and must now be
cleared out before there is danger of
the goods being spoiled, fact which
started the break in holding prices.
Beginning tomorrow, hundreds of
thousands of dozens of eggs, millions
of pounds of butter and thousands of
tons of poultry will be thrown on the
markets all over the country. 1t is
prophesied that there will be such
drop in prices that it win be only some
of the commission men who will be
unable to afford chicken fricassee.
Refused to Buy.
One of the reasons given for the
crash is that so high We're the prices
during the holidays that people refused
to buy, and chose other things for their
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New
Years dinners. thereby leaving dealers
with large stocks on hand
The secret of high prices Is out, and
other commodities will tumble in price
in sympathy with the downward mar
ket.
