POINT AGAINST MINORITY
 B. & M. STOCKHOLDERS
Not Allowed to Attack Validity of
 dRoad's Short Term Notes.

Boston. Dec. s-Afinority stockhoId- CTS of the Boston and Main raolriad today lost point in their effort to prevent the present temporary receiv- ership of the road from being ma de permanent when Judge Morton rfed in the federal district court that they would not be allowed to attack the validity of the roads s13.30o 900 short term notes in the present proceedings The 1nter-Continnetal Rubber com pany, appears as the petitioner in the receiversbip action, claims to be a creditor ,of the road to the extent of $51, 900 on notes that were part of the s13.300, 900 issue
 Counsel for the minority interests had previously told the court that their case was concerned largely with the question of the validity of the short term notes. which they contend ed were issued during the period that the Boston and Maine railroad was under the illegal control of the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- road. They asserted that the notes were therefore invalid. Exceptions were taken by the minority to the courts ruling.

cARRANZA'S REPLY ON
 WAY TO WASHINGTON
indications Are That He Has Ratified
 the Protocol.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Unofficial in- formation today that Albert J. Pani. who carried to General Carranza the border protection protocol agreed to at Atlantic City. was on his way back to the United States from Mexico, was construed at the state department as an indication that the First Chief had ratified the document. The joint com mission that drafted the protocol ad- iourned November g to reassemble December 8 if Carranza's action was favorable.
 It is believed here that MT. Pani cross the border at Laredo perhaps to- morrow and make a te4egraphic re- port from there. If he reports the ratification of the protocol, the com mission will convene here Friday and adjourn until he can reach Washing. ton.
 Under instructions from the mem bers of the commission, the attaches of both groups have spent much of the time since the adjournment at Atlantic City in drafting tentative pro- grammes for furthsr discussion. Luis Cabrera, chairman of the Mexican commission. tn an interview credited to him recently in a Mexico City newspaper. referred to the subjects to be discussed after the ratification of the protocol as of minor importance, '' but the programme drafted by the American commissioners includes a list of subjects regarded by them as of great importance.

INVESTIGATING DEATH OF
 MRS. FRED L. SMALL
Whose Husband is Charged With Her
 Murder at Ossipee, N. H.

Ossipee, N. H.. Dec. 6.-Twenty wit nesses were examined today by the grand jury Investigating the death of Mrs. Frederick l.. Small, whose hus- band is held in the county jail charged with her murder. Mrs. SmaIl's body was found on Sept. 29 ill the ashes of her home on the shore of Lake Ossi- pee Although the body was almost completely charred. an examination disclosed bullet in the skull and evil dences that a cord had been bound tightly about the neck.
 The prosecuting officers charge that Small killed his wife in order to obtain life insurance and that he en- deavored to conceal the crime by set- ting fire to the house. The building was burned some hours after Small had left for Boston and he was in that city the following day when he was ontif1ed of the fire and the discovery of his wife's body. He denies knowl- edge of her death.
 The witnesses before the grand jury today were questioned by Attorney General James P. Futile, who is in charge of the prosecution. Many of them were residents of the village, men and women who had known Small and his wife during the three years that the Smalls had lived in the neighborhood.

Mrs. Margaret Beutinger's Second Trial for Murder of Her Husband.

Newark, N. J., Dec. 5.-The hysteria and collapse of Mrs. Margaret Beu- tinger. undergoing her second trial here on the charge of murdering her husband in their home at Caldwell, N. J., last July, brought the proceed ings to a sudden adjournment today in the midst of the summing up by her counsel. Robert H. Carter. He was describing graphically the bru- tality, as brought out in testimony. of the woman's husband toward her, which she said led her to shoot him in self defense.
 December has been a fateful month for this little v-ornan," he said. Ten years ago this month she married Crystof Beutinger. One year this month she re- married him and here is December again with the holly green and the kiddies calling for her. Send her home to them.''

Lloyd George to
 Become Premier
THE ASQUiTH CABINET HAS BEEN
 oVERTHRoWN
SUSPENSE IN ENGLAND
Bonar Low Declined to Undertake the Formation of New Ministry-kine Conferred With Party Leaders.

London, Dec. 6. II p. m. - David Lloyd George has overthrown the As quith cabinet and will become prime minister himself. The new govern ment will be coalition. like the old one, but probably without the same meas ure of harmonious support which at tended the formation of the first coal ftion government, because it's birth has created additional factional difference es.
 Day of Suspense.
 This result has emerged from an- other day of active and hurried par ty conferences and day of intense suspense and interest through the country. There was a prospect this afternoon that the personal offices of many thought that the Asquith regime might be continued. The king called the party leaders to Buckingham Pal ace and conferred with them for more than an hour. MT. Asquith and MT. Lloyd George of the liberals. MT. Bon ar Law and MT. Balfour of the union ists and MT. Henderson of the labor party, were with the sovereign. It is many years since a British ruler as- sembled the representatives of the diff ferent factions face to face when they fhad shown themselves unable to set tie their differences. But no such se- rious crisis has arisen before to re- quire such action by the king. Statesmen Depart Separately. l Whatever passed in council is held secret, but the inference that the king tried to arrange a conciliation ap pears most natural. The five states | men departed separately. four in their | motor cars and the workingmen's s spokesman afoot.
 Afterwards the king gave an au- dience to MT. Bonar Law. who declin- | ed to undertake the formation of a new ministry and then to MT. Lloyd | George, who accepted the responsibil- 1 ity, as every one anticipated he would | if the opportunity came to him.
 Government Will Be Coalition. | The official announcement tonight I that MT. David Lloyd George had un- | dertaken the task, with the co-opera- 1 ton of MT. Bonar Law, was a notifica- l ton that the new government would | be coalition. g.. F Any party government would be Impossible because neither the unions l ists nor the liberals have a majority | in the hosze of commons; either one | must attach the Irish Nationalists or l the laborites to itself to command a majority. The nationalists have re- l fused to participate in the government until home rule becomes established. 1 The laborites are sworn enemies to 1 MT. Lloyd George because they resent | his accusations that the workingmen have put their personal interests | above the nationa1 interests at times during the war.

women he had courted.. Instead of condemning him, they wished him good luck.
 The persons who established the identity of Wax as the elusive Oliver to the satisfaction of the federal au- thorities, however, were James W Osborne, mistaken for Wax either wit tingly or unwittingly by Miss Tanzer according to the prosecution, and Mrs. Osborne. They were corroborated by Edwin Wilcox, MT. Osborne's assist ant; MT. and Mrs. Stewart Denham, at whose home Wax roomed; and W $. Kitchen, manager of the Plainfield Ilo- tel where Miss Tanzer alleged she spent an afetrnoon with Oliver, Wax had admitted his identity to the Os-
 bornes many months ago and then dis appeared.
 Almost instantly Recognized.
 In every instance Wax was almost in- stantly recognized although he stood in line with newspaper reporters, pfo- tographers and federal officers. In-
 variably Wax smiled when greeted and shook hands warmly.
 Wax did not recognize Kitchen un- til the latter recounted conversation they had before Wax engaged room. Then Wax related in detail circun1- stances of his visit to the hostelry and described to the minutest detail the 1 hotels interior. He also identified 1 ! wrote duplicates of the signature for purposes of comparison. The sigma
 ture was one of the chief points in the
 many actions that have grown out of 1 the case.
 l After the federal officer in charge had annoucned late in the afternoon | that there would be no other visitors, l Wax's only comment was that he was livery hungry On being assured that dinner would be ordered forthwith he itc's reporters something of his adven-
 lures.
 1 Served in Philippines. | Wax told in detail of his. military record in the Philippines, where he
 said he served three years as interp-
 reter to Major General Leonard Wood during the Mindano campaign. He re-
 ceived a jagged "bolo" wound on the 1 left forearm and proudly showed the scar. He was honorably discharged | with the rank of sergeant, he said,
 and this statement was borne out by

Bucharest, the capital of Rumania, is in the hands of the forces of the cen tral powers
 Exactly one hundred days after the declaration of war by Rumania against them finds the Teutonic allies in control of about 50,o00 square miles of Rumanian territory-virtually one half of tAe kingdom-rdnning from the Transyivenian Alps northwest Of the capital to the Danube south of it, and a large part of Dobru5ja, and probably stil. on the heels c6 the retreating Russian and Eumanlan armies which have been endeavoring to hold them back.
 Simultaneously with the announce ment of .he fall of Bucharest came the news of the capture of the important railroad junction of Ploechtl, north of the capital, the conquest of which places in the hands of the invaders the last railroad in the west and gives to them a head of the line running north ward to JaRsy, where the capital of Rumania is now situated.

New York, Dec. 5-Positive identi- hcation of Charles H. Wax as Oliver Osborne" elusive swain of a score of young woman in this city, was made today by eight persons. He has yet, however, to face Miss Rae TanZer, the factory worker whose S250,000 breach of promise against James W. Os- borne, prominent attorney whom she accused of courting her as Oliver" led to succession of legal proceedings and revelation of long chapter of sentimental adventures in which Oily err played the dual role of hero and
 villain. Wax has admitted it was he
 who made love to Miss Tanzer.
 Will Not Invite Miss Tanzer to Call.
 The federal authorities who brought
 Wax here from Chicago probably will
 not invite Miss Tanzer to call upon
 him. They maintain that James ".
 Osborne already has been vindicated
 won Miss Tanzer under the alias of
 Oliver As result of a confession said to have been made by Wax to-
 day, Assistant United States District
 Attorney Roger B. Wood announced, the charges of perjury and extortion against Miss Tanzer and several of her witnesses in the breach of promise case will be re-opened and the cases rushed to trial.
 After Miss Tanzer's breach of prom lSe SulC was nled Sne was arrested OH
 a charge of misuse of the United States mails in writing letters to MT. Os- borne. At her hearing her principal witness, who identified James w. Os- borne as the man who accompanied her to hotel in Plainfield, N. J., was l arrested as a perjurer. He was sub sequently tried and convicted, but the conviction was set aside by a higher court. Charges of perjury also were made against Miss Tanzer and soon afterwara she recanted her testimony, saying she had deceived her lawyers. | When the charges were preferred against her attorneys, Miss Tanzer as
 serted her recantation had been false. 1 The case finally was made subject of inquiry by the congressional com mittee appointed to investigate the inn peachment charges aganst United States District Attorney H. Snowden Mashan, who conducted the case against Miss Tanzer and who is a
 warm personal friend of James W. Osborne.
