MlSTOOk MOTHER
 FOR A BURGLAR.
Young Woman Fires Fatal Shot in
 Sleeping Car.

Philadelphia, Nov. 13.-Mrs. J. Rappe Myers, wife of the proprietor of the Rappe hotel. Greensburg, Pa, was shot by her daughter, Gladys Elizabeth My CTS, in mistake for a burglar in sleeping car on a Pennsylvania rail- road train, bound for New York, about 5.30 o'clock this morning. She died a short time later in a Trenton N J., hospital.
 Miss Myers and W. R. Cuthbert, so years old, of Lynchburg Va, were de- tained by the Trenton. N. J., police, but were released tonight. It was thought at first that Cuthbert was con- cerned in some way with the shooting, as he was found with Miss Myers at the side of the wounded woman a few seconds after the sound of the shot aroused the other passengers in the car and brought the porter and con- ductor. Later it was explained that he had been standing on the front plat form of the car next in the rear, and had run in when he heard the shot.
 The Trenton police say they are sat- isfied the shooting was an accident and that MT. CuIthbert went to the aid of person whom he had reason to be- ieve was in distress.
 Miss Myers, who is about 20 years of age, was on the way to New York to purchase a trousseau for her con- ing wedding to J. Blair billiard, of Sa- lem, Va, druggist. She had casket of jewels which she was taking 10 New York to have repaired and match ed, and when she heard her mother re- entering their section, after Mrs. My CTS had gone for few minutes to tho dressing room, she took her revolver from under her pillow and fired, think ing a burglar was after the gems. She was half awake at the time.

TURKEY SEEKS AN
 ElGHT-DAY ARMISTICE
Have Evidently Abandoned All Hope
 of Holding TchataIia.

London, Nov. 13.-The porte, on the advice of Russia, has instructed Ma zim Pasha, the Turkish commander in-chief, to apply to the Bulgarian commander for an eight days armis- tice with view to opening direct ne- gotiations for peace.
 This decision seems to show that Turkey has little hope of being able to hold the Tchatalja lines against the Bulgarian advance. There is no news yet as to how the Bulgarian com mander met the Turkish request, how ever.
 The situation at the front, owing to the paucity of the news allowed to filter through from either side, is very confusing. Clearly there has been heavy fighting as on November 12 Constantinople reported that numerous wounded were arriving from the front and the almost invariably accurate Vienna Reichspost correspondent has reported the capture of positions by the Bulgarians in the neighborhood of the Tchatalja lines. The same cor respondent now says that the main at- tack on Tchatalja has been delayed two days by rain.
 The powers at last have arrived at some kind of an agreement with re- spect to mediation. It is assumed however, that now the porte has open ed negotiations with Bulgaria, Euro pean intervention will not be needed.

ANOTHER UPRoAR IN
 HOUSE OF COMMONS
Unionists Attempt to Force Govern
 ment to Resign.

London, Nov. 13.-The house of commons was the scene tonight of a riot over Premier Asquith's proposal to rescind the action of Monday, when the unionists carried by a majority of 22 Sir Frederick Banbury's amend ment, defeating the most important financial feature of the home rule bill
 The unionists refused to permit the debate and the speaker was forced to adjourn the session on account of the disorder This is an extremely rare necessity and the situation is consid- cred a critical one.
 The unionists almost unanimously threaten that they will continue to make business in the house impossi- ble unless the prime minister accepts the amendment or drops the home rule bill. They declare that his action is unprecedented and will be obstructed by unprecedented measures. Their object Is to force the government to resign.
 The uproar far exceeded that which stifled Premier Asquith's speech when he introduced the home rule bill and has not been equaled since the free fight over Gladstenes first home rule measure. The ministers were taunted with epithets like traitors" apes"
 Sir William Bull, unienist, for Hammersmith, was ordered from the floor fer repeatedly calling MT. As duith "a traitor"

bearing on the suspension Of construc- ton work in New England, which has been due entirely to a financial strin- gency. l do not deny that we have had some negotiations with the New Haven people, but there has been no agreement anywhere near being made with them.
 You can say 10 the people of New England that they have no cause for alarm. If we ever make any arrange ments with the New Haven road lt Will be such an arrangement az will give them at least equal or better con- nectioDs and facilities for doing bus.- ness with the Grand Trunk and tho Central Vermont than can be had iu any other way, and unless such an ar rangement can be made there will not be any agreement eliminating he pro- posed construction.
 If we make any arrangement with the New Haven 1t Is going Co give I New England better facilities than they would have by any parallel Hua we could construct, and unless we can make such an arrangement we won make any at all with them.
 T never favor parsllellng anybody else's lines If satisfactory traffic or trackage arrangements can be made. what negotiations we have had thus far have not advanced to such a stage that can say whether or not the building of our proposed lines will be- come unnecessary. But it is very like ly that if there Is too much talk about it now 1t will defeat the whole thing.
 Nothing short of a Z5-year agree ment would be satisfactory.
 There is no truth whatever in tho statements that suspension of con Struction work was influenced from London under pressure Of the Cana dian government. It Is no more true that 1t was brought about or innu- enced under pressure of Morgan e ,Mellen influences.
 Tn my opinion, if the Balkan war, which has influenced the money tight ness that has caused this snspenzIon of construction. goes on for the next two months, it will close up every bit of construction work in this country. and probably in the United States-

AMERICAN FEDERATION
 REFUSES RECOGNITION.
Association of Pipe Filters Turned
 Down by Convention.

Rochester, N Y. Nov 13.-So far as the American Federation of Labor is concerned, there is no such organ ization as the International Association of Steam, Hot Water and Pipe Filters and Helpers of America. This declara- ton was made in so many words today by President Gompers before the sgd convention of the federation, which upheld him when it refused by vote of 192 to 31 to seat the delegates of the international association.
 The reason given by President Com peTs and the delegates who backed him up is that the United Association of Journeymen Plumbers, Gas Filters and Steam Filters and Helps of America, which Is affiliated with the federation, takes in members of the steam filters trade and 1t would be contrary to the federation's principles to recognize more than one international union in a single trade.
 Members of the radical wing of the convention which includes nearly a hundred socialists, assert that vigor- ous opposition will be made to the re- election of President Gompers and that if he is reelected it will be his last tarna

PREMIER CANALEJAS
 BURIED WITH HONORS
Assassin Dies Without Explaining Mo-
 tive of the Crime.

Madrid, Nov. 13.-The body of the Spanish premier. Jose Canalejas, was entombed in the Spanish Pantheon with the highest national honors. The entire nation Is in mourning and all civil life and business was suspended in Madrid until after the ceremony.
 King Alfonso accompanied by Prince Charles of Bourbon Siciles and Prince Ferdinand of Bavaria, infants of Spain, walked behind the hearse from the chamber of deputies to the Pantheon. while 250.o0O persons stood with uncovered heads in tribute to the dead premier. The members of the diplomatic corps and an official from every department of the government attended the funeral
 The press, of all shades of opinion, condemns the assassination and lauds Senor Canalejas as the finest type of Spaniard who, in addition to being a great statesman, had devoted himself to the amelioration of the condition of the poor.
 . The republican press protests against the assertion that the assassination represented an attempt to avenge the execution of Ferrer.
 Manuel Pardinas, the assassin, died, according to the police, without mak- ing any statement. The exact motive of the deed, therefore. remains a mys- tery.

eastern seaboard of the United States with western South America and with Australia, the economies effected by the Panama canal will largely exceed the toll suggested. Likewise the saV- ing in time and fuel expenses via Pan anna, as compared with the Magellan route, between our eastern Seaboard and New Zealand, will be such as to insure the profitable use of the Pan- anna canal.
 National Entrance for South Americas

 "Nor will a toll of S120 per net ton seriously restrict the use of the canal by European countries. For the com merce of Europe with Chile and with New Zealand, the saving resulting rom the shortening of the time of voyage via Panama as compared With the Straits of Magellan would not warra Tt the payment of tolls of $1.20 per net vessel ton for using the Panama canal; hut the fuel expenses via Panama, will be so much less than via Magellan as to make the canal route preferable, even with tolls of $1.20 per net ton. Moreover, the profitable trade route between Europe and Chile is via Pan anna and the ports intermediate De- tween the isthmus and Valparaiso. Panama is the natural entrance and exit for the west coast South Amerl- can trade.

 '"The normal growth of the traffic of the Panama canal will not be interfer- ed with by toll of $1.2O per net ton The tonnage of shipping using the Suez canal has increased rapidly, the growth of traffic having been about 7O per cent. during the past ten years, although the tolls at the opening of the decade were $1.74 per net ton, and in 1911 S1.3O-a higher rate than IS rec commended for Panama. It Is suggest ed that the tolls at Panama start with the relatively low rate to which the Suez charges will have been brought in 1913, at the end of 4S years of traf- fic development.
