In thn shipment are 1,177 bales of raw ' silk for New Tork and 900 tons of other ' Oriental freight for other eastern cities. Last night, after twenty-four hours of ' Idleness, . attempts were made to dispatch freight over the Northern Pacific railway. Two trains were stnrted from T aroma, one !

MORGAN BUYS EQUITABLE (Continued from First Page.) trust under which Grover Cleveland, Mor gan, O'Urlen and. Mmrge Westlnghouse were made voting trustees for the benefit of policy holders and it covers all Mr. Ryan's Interest, including all the stock purchased by him from James H. Hyde." No Details of Deal. Beyond these bare facts, Mr. Morgan and his partners declined to give any details. The exact amount of the stock bought by them and the price they paid remain for subsequent announcement. Nor would they name any other Interests allied with them, although It Is commonly understood in Wall street that at least one large trust company may take a hand In the deal If Uin consent of the Equitable Is obtained. Under the terms of the trust agreement referred to in Mr. Morgan's announcement the Ryan stock could not be sold without the consent of the surviving trustees. whose term of power held until June 15 ment for another five years if they saw. next and who might continue the agree fit. Both of them are very busy men and as they have served the society without pay it has long been taken for granted that they would be willing to pass on their responsibilities to other shoulders if they found they could do so without prejudice to the policy holders. Prior to confirma Hon of the transfer, neither Mr. West lnghouse nor Mr. O'Brien would discuss either its details or its probabilities. Ryan Bays from Hyde. Mr. Ryan's holdings in the Equitable were bought in large part from James H. Hyde, although Edward H. Harriman had laid plans, which, as he supposed, were to assure him the control which went in stead to Mr. Ryan. It was during the hearings of the Armstrong insurance in vestigatlon that Mr. Harrlman, when questioned on this point, coined what sub uwduently became a national byword. He was asked if he had settled scores with Mr. Ryan and answered terser: "Not yet." The public added with ready in tuition, "but soon." At tlio offices of the Equitable society President Puul Morton professed Ignorance of the transfer and news of the change of control seemed to come as a surprise to other officers. It is known, however, that tha directors of the society and the principals to the dual were in conference yesterday and until late today and there is authority for the statement that the transfer met with their approval.

A widespread shift ing of railroad officials and the removal of the headquarters of the Chicago East ern Illinois railroad from Chicago to 8t.

If this Is done, through routes will have been established from Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City to New Orleans, the principal cities of Texas and the Mexican border at Brownsville. The Brownsville road. In conjunction with the National Railroads of Mexico. Is bridging the Rio Grande from Brownsvilla to Matamoras.

NEW TORK, Dec. 2 Announcement was made at the offices of the Lehigh Valley railroad today that William Moore. Daniel G. Reld and E. S. Moore of the Rock Is land company would be placed on the ticket of the election for directors to the Lehigh Valley company, which will be held at the annua meeting of stockholders on January 18, 1910.

Stearns, Lippincott and McFadden. William H. Moore and Daniel G. Reld will become members of tha executive committee of the Lehigh Valley company, it Is said. The announcement that the Rock Island Interests would be placed On the Lehigh Valley board was no surprise to Wall street, where It had been known for some time that Mr. Moore and Mr. Reld had been heavy purchasers of Lehigh Valley stock. Coincident with the absorption of Lehigh Valley stock, which caused a big rise In the price of those securities on the Phila delphia stock exchange recently, there have been numerous reports, that the Rock Island company would seek to connect the Lehigh Valley end the Rock Island com panies by taking over the Wabash rail road. No confirmation of this report was ob tainable today. It was authoritatively an nounced, however, that there would be no further changes in tho management of the Lehigh Valley company.

NEW TORK, Dec. l.-Follcs of three cltlea confessed themselves baffled today In their search for a solution of the mys terious death of Mrs. O. W. N. Knead, tha young Brooklyn woman, found dead In a bath tub In a house In East Orange, N. J. Although tha friends who have been In vestigating declare themselves satisfied that several persons were Involved In the alleged murder, but on arrest has so far been made. This prisoner Is Virginia Wardlow, a gray-haired spinster ot excellent connec tions In Nashville and other Tennessee cities, who was Mrs. Snead's companion In the lonely East Orange house and a dweller lth her . and two other aged women In a house In' Flatlanda, Brooklyn. In this latter house the detectives say they have learned Mrs. Snead had bean 111 and kept in Strict seclusion for a long time before she was taken to East Orange. That Mrs. Snead was practically at the mercy of whoever was In charge of her du'lng thess months Is one theory the de tectives entertain. In this connection they are today giving careful consideration to the will left by Mrs. Snead, In which all her property was bequeathed to her grand mother, Martha Eliza Wardlow, and two Insurance policies aggregating 120.000 on the victim's life, which have been found to be In existence.

Bendernagel and five other employe of the American Sugar Refining company charged with conspiracy to clef i and, the testimony disclosed that the prosecution was hampered by missing witnesses. Two employes of the federal district attorney's office, who have been wofklng In the sugar Investigation testified that they had found it Impossible to trace a sugar checker named Alexander, who had been employed by the company, or to locate various other men who had worked for city weighers at the docks and whose testimony was desired at tne present trial. The weight on one cargo as returned by the company's weighers was shown by this record to be 28,000 pounds greater than the government weighers had found it. On another cargo the difference was 19,000 pounds In favor of the company. Auditor XV. Q. Foster of ths American Sugar Refining company was called to give evidence against Bendernagel. He Identified as Bt-nilei nagel s, the writing on one of the certificates of city weighers returns. Ths words "correct J. B." or "O. K., J. B." were to be found on most of the re turns of city weighers. The company paid for tha sugar on these returns as certified by Bendernagel or some one else on the Is forthcoming an Inquest will be convened. Pr. Warren found nearly a quarter of a grain of arsenic In the corpse, which was etfhumed November ). Miss Kate Erder started tbe Investigation to determine whether nr brother had died from natural causes after she had traced Dora K. Erder, his wife of two and one half months, to Columbus, Neb., and found her living there as the wife of Dr. Loren B. Doxey. Ths suspicions ot Miss Erder were aroused by ths death of her brother, who was ill only a few days and had convul sions at frequent Intervals In ths forty eight hours ' immediately preceding death In July. Dr. Arthur Frledeberg of 9439 South Jef ferson avenue signed a burial certificate, stating that death Was due to abdominal tuberoulosls and gastritis. He has since stated that he prescribed strychnine and codeine, both poisons, but not In sufficient quantities to cause death. Collected Brder's lasaraaca. In ths two and a half months they lived together Mrs. Dora Erder Induced Erder to transfer to her 2.700 of life Insurance, of which his mother and sister were the original beneficiaries. She also, after his death, went into the probate court and claimed 1600 Insurance on the life of Erder's sister, Elisabeth, who died tha day Erder became ill. In order -to obtain this in surance, she mads an affidavit that she was Erder's widow. Through the shipment of furniture to Dr. L. B. Doxey at Columbus, Neb., Miss Erder traced Dora to that town and found that she was Jiving there with Doxey. I Drder' to gatn -ttms and detain Dora until an investigation 'could be mads here, Miss Erder had tha Doxeys arrested on a statutory charge. Tfien she hurried back to St. Louis and had her brother's body disinterred to determine whether poison killed him. The hearing of tha statutory charge Is set for tomorrow at Columbus. It Is an ticipated by the local authorities that this case will be dismissed. Dr. and Mrs. Doxey having been married at Burlington, la., In 1906. COLUMBUS, Neb.,- Dec. 1. (3pclal Tele gram.)

It is understood that Parliament will be dissolved, so as to permit the holding of elections between January 10 and 20. The prorogation will take place tomorrow. Kin Will Dissolve Parliament. Premier Asquith announced In the House of Commons today that the gov ernment had advlBcd King Edward to dissolve Parliament and that his majesty had accepted the Invitation. The premier added that If the liberals were re turned to power the first act of the gov ernment would be the re-enactment of all the taxes for which provision was made In the budget rejected oy the House of Lords. All the preliminaries to the great political battle are being cleared away this after Loon at Sandrlngham, where the king held a meeting with ihe privy council during which he signed an order proroguing Par liament until January 17, 1910. The fixing of this date was a mere for mality, as before that time the present house will have been dissolved. The center of Interest today was the House of Commons, where Premier As quith on behalf of his government dellv- j ered the reply to the action of the lords withholding their consent upon the budget. Tha house was crowded with members and the galleries were filled with lords, diplomats and other distinguished person ages. The ministers and unionist leaders, lnsludlng A. J. Balfour, who had suffi ciently recovered from an indisposition to take part In the debate, entered the cham ber during the course of the routine busi ness and were received with cheers by their supporters. Ths nationalists, who had decided not to participate In the debate or division, were conspicuous by their absence. Demonstration for Asqoltb. Premier Asqulth's first words as he rose amid the wildest demonstration of en thusiasm to move the resolution of which hs had given notice on Tuesday, were: "We are meeting this afternoon under circumstances without example in the his tory of the British Parliament. "The prime minister pointed out that in opening Parliament the king had invited ths House of Commons alone to make provision for the heavy additional expendi tures In view of the necessities In the way of social reform and the national defense. The budget was the result and It repre sented, he ssld, in a greater degree than could be said of any other measure uf "our time" the deliberate work of an over whelming majority of the representatives of the people. In the course of the week ine whole fabric had been thrown to the ground by a body which, sdmlttedly, had no power to Increase or decrease a single tax. With much emphasis, Premier Asquith declared that the House of Commons would prove unworthy of Its traditions If It al lowed a single day to pass without makln-: clear that It did not mean to brook thlf grave Indignity and arrogant usurpation of its rights. The session of Parliament was closing, the premier said, without a financial act, and, until fresh provision could be made, the necessities of state could be supplied only through borrowing. He expressed the hope that the ultimate lots to the government would not be great, but added so far as the present fiscal year was concerned. It was obvious the result of the action of the House of Lords, must create the largest deficit yet faced. His warnings, ho said, had been unheeded committee to look into the matter. Sec retary Armknecht of the Iowa association In his report gave a broad Indictment of many Implement manufacturers In that they have established branch houses 1n small places and taken trade which be longed to the local dealers. He also in sisted that manufacturers have over charged in the matter of freights and he urged a system of more perfect bills of lading. Xarlgratlon In the Fntnre. Des Moines was given soms sound ad vice In regard to how to proceed to se cure government work to make the Des1 Moines river navigable by Engineer Roche today. He advised that the city arrange for the disposal of the water power that would' be developed, secure legislation looking to the - operation of steamship lines on the river and secure a guarrnty that in case the river is made navigable It will actually be used for commerce. It is thought the last provision will be so hard to meet that it will be some time before the river is made navigable. Commission and Collections. In the hearing before the railroad com mission today on complaint as to various matters affecting express companies the latter raised the point that the commis sion has no Jurisdiction over rates which involved collections. The companies claim that such rates are properly col lection matters and not transportation. The commission has not yet decided, but is engaged in fixing general express rates in the state.
