Action on Amendment
Rescinded?Government
Faces Critical Situation.
London November j 3.?The IIuiik of
Common*, the popular house of ttw
"Motfcsr of Parliaments.' wis the
? ' '-ne to-night of a riot over Premier
Afc'iuith's proposal to rescind the actioa
of Monday, when the Unionists carr >>i
by a majority of twenty-two rwr I reu
eriok Banbury's amendment aefeatlng
the most Important financial feature
of lbs home rule bill
Th>- t'nlonlsls refused to permit the
debate, and the speaker was farced to
adjourn th< session ,n account of t'ie
disorder. This Is an extremely rare
necessity, and the situation Is cons d
ered a critical one. The Unionists al?
most unanimously threatened that t ley
will continue to make buslnesn in ths
Ho,uac impossible unless the Prlnio
Minister accepts the amendment or
d' the home rule bill. They declare
that his action Is unprecedented and
will be obetru' ted by unpre edented
sveasures. Their object is to force the
government to reslgn.
Tiie. uproar far exceeded that .vhlch
stifled l*remler Aso/jlths *pe. f-h when
he introduced the homo rule bill, and
has not been equaled since thi free
fight over Gladstone's first home rule
m< asure. The ro-mbers were taunlci
with such epithel? jas "traitors" and
"apes." S.r William Bull. L'nljnist for
Han.rnersm.'t was ordered from the
floor for repeatedly calling Mr. Aaquitli
"a traitor."
Charrhtll Hit by Beak.
After adjournment the I'niomsts dou?
bled up programs and threw them
ai ro's the floor at the Prime Minis?
ter. Winston >pencer Churchill, first
L>rd of the Admiralty, was hit with ?
heavy book hurled from tbe ..amp of
the enemy. A fight appeared imminent
until Will Crooks, the Labor member
poured oil on tbe troubled waters t>y
Starting the singing of "Auld Lang
fcVne.'"
When tbe session began titere were
packed benches. The Premier's sup?
porters gave him a great cheer on his
entrance and demonstrated that they
were present In force by defeating a
motion to adjourn early In the pro?
ceedings by a vote of 32' to 21*. The
substance of Mr. As.-juith's motion was
that the Banbuty amendment be re?
scinded, "notwithstanding anything In
anv standing order of this House." and
that the order jf the Mouse In rt
spect to the home rule bill take effect
as though Monday's proceedings ha?
not taken place. The effect of this
would be practically to begin again
the consideration of the bill at the
clause arfeere the Banbury amendmenT
Was offered.
Arthur Bonar Law. leader >t the op?
position, bod the floor quickly and in?
quired whether there was any prece?
dent for tbe government's course ano
whether It would not destroy all safe?
guards for regularity in tbe House of
Co mm jns proceedings.
Amid loud opposition cheering the
Speaker replied that he could find no
precedent for rescinding a decision ot
the House arrived at during the pas?
sage of a bill. Whether it would de?
stroy the safeguards was a matter on
whlcli every member must form hU
?awn judgment.
There was a >ong argument on tbe
parlauaentary points, and then Mr.
Aequith rose and said that no no?
tice bad been given of the amendment
offered by Sir Frederick Banbury. and
that its discussion was brief. He
doubted if tbe members on either aide
had appreciated its importance. It
?would reduce the SXO.tOv.OSO which it
?was proposed to transfer to tbe Irish
government, to I1J.SOO.000. |
Mr. Aaoulth proceeded to point out
that last week the government bad a
majority of 121 on a question similar,
to that raised by Sir Frederick Ban- j
kury. He argued that there were
precedents for the course proposed.
Captain Craig. Unionist for East
Down, said
"Th? government's supporters are
fcere under monstrous and degrading
Circumstances, a change in the gov?
ernment under tbe present political in?
ternational conditions, if that Is the
ground for the government clinging
to office, vein have the whole hearted
support of the I'nion party." He then
moved adjournment, which was defeat?
ed 327 to 51?.

Then the stom broke, pir Banbury
gftoTed thst a decision reached could
Bfot <Se reversed at the same session,

Miss Myers and W. R. Cuthbert,
I sixty years of age, of Lynchburg, Va,
1 were detained ai. day by the Trenton
j police, but were released to-night. It
' was thought at first that Cuthbert was
j concerned In some way with the shout
I ir.g. as he was found with Miss Myers
j at the side of the wounded woman a
: few seconds after the sound of the
'. shot aroused the other passengers in
j the car, and brought the porter and
j conductor. Later, Cuthbert explained
that he had ^cn standing on the front
platform of the car next in the rear,
and had run in when he heard the shot.
Then tho police Informed him that
they would detain him merely as ma?
terial witness. The Trenton po-ice
say they are convinced the shooting
was an accident, and that Mr. Cuth?
bert went to the aid of a person whom
he had reason to believe was in dis?
tress.
Tkooaat Her a Robber.
Mitts Myers, who is about twenty
j years old. was on the way to New

coming wedding to J. Blair Dillard.
of Salem, Va.. a druggist- She had
a casket of jewels which she waa tak?
ing to New York to have repaired and
matched, and when she hoard her
mother re-entering their section, after
Mrs. Myers had gone for a few minutes
to the dressing room, she took her re.
'vvilver frosii under hor pillow and
fired, thinking a burglar was after the
gems. She was half awake at the
time.
Miss Myers's brother and her fiance
are on the way from Samern, and will
i arrive in Trenton early to-morrow
: rrorning. Her father Is also en route
from Greensburg to meet his daughter.
He is accompanied by an attorney.
Miss Myers made a statement, in which 1
she said:
"I was awakened by my mother who i
! informed me that she was going to the
wash room, and while she was absent j
1 I dozed oft* to sleep. I was suddenly j
awakened from my sleep b*7 seeing the !
: curtains parted and aome one crawl- ?
! ing into the berth. I always sleep
I with a revolver under my pillow, and,
i knowing that the porter had seen my
jewelry, I pulled out the revolver and
tired, and was horrified to hear my '?
! mother scream and see her stagger
j Into the smoker, where I found her.
-Ther. I shouted for some one to
get a doctor and some whiskey. AI
gentleman came forward whom I'
afterward learned was William Cutb-i

In a statement to the police Mr.
Cuthbert said that his home was iu'

to be traveling In the car behind the
one occupied by Mrs. Myers and her
daughter.
"As the train approached the bridge
I across the Delaware River south of

I "I went to the front platform of my

Tells World's Shipping
What it Must Pay
for Passage.
CHARGES BASED ON
REPORT OF EXPERT
No Reference Made to England's
j Protest Against Exemption of
American Coastwise Shipping.
Should Be on Self-Sus
j taining Basis at End of
Twenty Years.
1 Washington, November 1C.?Presi?
dent Taft to-night Issued a proclama?
tion fixing the rates that the foreign
shipping of the world shall pay for
passage through the Panama Canal.
' The proclamation is issued In accord?
ant* with the act passed by Congress
In August, and establishes a merchant
vessel rate of $1.20 per net ton of
actual carrying capacity with a reduc?
tion of 44 per cent on ships in ballast.
The provisions of the proclamation
. are as follows:
L Merchant vessels carrying pas?
sengers or cargo. $1.20 per net vessel
ton?each 100 cubic feet?of actual
earning capacity.
2. On vessels in ballast without pas?
sengers or cargo, 40 per cent less than
the rate of tolls for vessels with pas?
sengers or cargo.
3. Upon naval vessels, other than
: transport colliers, hospital ships and
supply ships, 50 cents per displacement
ton.
j 4. Upon army and navy tronsports.
; colliers, hospital ships and supply
ships. $1.20 per net ton. the vessel to
be measured by the same rules as are
employed In determining the net ton?
nage of merchant vessels.
. The Secretary of War will prepare
I and prescribe such rules for the meas
I urement of vessels and such regula
: tlons as may be necessary and proper
I to carry this proclamation into full
force and effect
No Refereaee to Pretest.
I American coastwise shipping was ex
I empted from toll payment by Congress.
To this provision of the act Great
Britain diplomatically protested. No
reference to this incident was made in
< the President's proclamation.
j American naval vessels are exempt -
< ed without specific mention, either in
act of Congress or by the President's
I proclamation because the authorities
: deemed it unnecessary to explain the
'? uselessness of payment from Its Navy
,' Department pocket to the one belong
i ing to the Treasury Department,
f The rates named are practically the
I same as will be In force at the Suez
Canal next year,
j The President based his declaration
I of rates upon the report and estimates
I of Professor Emory R. Johnson, of the
i University of Pennsylvania, an expert
: designated for the task by executive
' order. According to Professor John
i son's report, also made public, the Pana
> ma Canal should be upon a self-sus
' taining basis In twenty years. It
i should compete successfully with the
Suex route for the traffic of Europe
with South American, west coast points !
and with New Zealand, but connot be
expected to compete successfully with
Europe's trade with the Par East.
Professor Johnson figures that the
rate per net ton can be reduced at the
end of ten years to $1. Even with this
rate, which he says probably will cor?
respond closely with the rate that may
' then be enforced through the Suex
j Canal, the United States will obtain
I enough revenue from foreign reaaels
to pay all fixed charges, provide a.
slaking fund of 1 per cent to retire the
Panama Canal bonds aad hare a year?
ly balance.
Defease of SXJ? slate.
Professor Johnson's defense of She
?1.20 rate for merchant vessels reads;
In part as follows:
"A toll of 11.20 per net ton in loaded |
merchant vessels, and a reduction of
40 per cent from the standard rate la
the cases of vessels In ballast will
place the Panama Canal and Its rival,
the Sues Canal, upon an equal com pet i- j
tire footing.
The Panama Canal must compete j
with the Suez route for the commerce |
I of the eastern seaboard of the United
j States and of the Atlantic North sea- |
ports of Europe with the Orient east j
of Singapore. For voyages '.?etween
the eastern ports of the United States
and the Orient, fuel expenses via j
Panama will be lees than by way of
fun. and. with equal tolls at each
canal, the Panama route will readily
secure the traffic. Tt Is not to be ex
! pected that much of the commerce
of Europe with the Pacific seaboard of
i Asia can be diverted from Panama
I from its present route via Sue*. f**s
j tances are leas via Suez: and with the j
I exception of voyages from North Eu- ?
rope to Japan and return, the fuel
I expenditures are lower by way of'
Suez. With equal tolls at Panama
I and Sues, some vessels will *ake the j
Panama route between Tapan and Eu - '

Head Brakeman Assumes Blame
for Disaster That Cost
Fifteen Lives.
HE IS UNDER POLICE GUARD
Fails to Close Switch, and Fast
Passenger Train Crashes
Into Freight.
Indianapolis. Ind.. November IS.?
According; to the inspectors for the
Indiana Railway Commission, the dls*
astrous wreck on the Cincinnati. Ham?
ilton and Dayton Railway at Inrlng
ton. a suburb, at an early hour to-day.
in which fifteen persons lost their Uses
and seventeen others were seriously
Injured, was the result of the com?
pany's failure to instal a block signal
! system as it had been ordered to do
by the commission.
The wreck was caused by the failure
of the head brakeman to close the
switch to a siding, on which a heavy
freight train had been run to let the
rapidly running passenger train, more
than an hour late, pass.
Carl Grass, the head brakeman. has
assumed blame for the disaster. He
is under police guard at the hospital
where ,he lies with a broken -eg.

I father, wife and three children were |
I killed.
The passenger train. No. 3$ from
Cincinnati to Chicago, was more than
an hour late, and at the time of the
head-on collision was running more
than forty miles an hour. The engi?
neer had been given a clear track.
Both he and his fireman were found
dead in the cab of their engine.
Ail the passengers found dead were
In the amoker and day coaches which
were immediately behind the stsel re?
inforced mail car. Both passenger oars
were of wood and were completely de?
molished. The Injured In many cases
remained pinned under heavy Umbers
until chopped out with axea
Tbe bodies, as fast as they were
brought from the wreckage, were con

All His Pre-Election
HIS MIND IS MADE UP
i He Soon Will Have Announce?
ment to Make About Extra
Session of Congress.
Princeton, X. J . November 13.?
President-Elect Wilson announced to?
night. In speaking; of the tariff and
the monopoly question, that he pur?
posed to carry out the pledges he made
in bis campaign speeches, to out spe?
cial privilege out of tariff schedules,
prevent unfair competition in business
and to destroy privilege monopoly.
The President-elect had been asked
whether the big correspondence he re
clved after bis election contained any
inquiries as to bis attitude on the
tariff or monopoly problems,
j "Do you mean that people take It
for granted you will carry out the
pledges made in your campaign
speeches?" he was asked.
"Yes. they certainly will be carried,

CHANGE COMES
AS BIG SURPRISE
For Two Years There Has Been

[Special to The Tlmes-Dlspatch.J
Philadelphia. Pa.. November IS.?In?
auguration of another period of great
expansive development of the already
huge Pennsylvania Railroad system tat
; presaged in the election to-day of
j bamuel Rea as president of the com
I pany to succeed James McCrea. who)
i will relinquish the position January 1
next. Except to a comparatively few
this big news came as a surprise. Tha
fact Is of far-reaching import, and
, likely to prove a prime factor In
t urging forward the cuirent business
! expansion.
Not until May 1. 1918. or more than
five years hence, would Mr. McCrea
I have reached the age for retirement
{ under the pension rules of the cotn
Ipany. He concluded to resign, feel?
ing that he prefers to be relieved of
the close duties which of necessity de

' responsible head of the largest trana
I portation system the world has ever

j Mr. McCrea will make the fourth
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad
to retire before death. Elected nearly
six years ago as the choice of the
great financial interests which stand
back of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and
who made up their minds as between
him and Mr. Rea. at a dinner given
j in New Tork by Henry C Fr>ck. Mr.
McCrea took up the work and the
I problema which the death of Alexander
j J. Caesatt passed along. Mr. McCrea
j was selected because of his known
I conservatism, his experienced knowl
1 edge of the railroad business and of
the high order of Integrity which la
component In his character.
These special qualities were regarded
as most essential in the man who must
succeed A. J Caesatt as president of
the great system. It was felt that tha
properties needed a period of rest; than
the resources of the corporation should
be nursed and husbanded until such
time as the business should grow up to
what had been provided. In the selec?
tion of Mr. McCrea to pilot the big
company through such a period tha
feeling Is now getaeral and strong
that no mistake was made.

But it is none the less the fact that
for some two years past there has been
a growing restiveness on the part of
the more virile, go-ahead element in.

under the stern veto which President
McCrea has put upon more than one
proposition which was brought to him.
strongly urged. It is also true that
such differences of opinion over ques?
tions of policy, both little and big?
for Mr. McCrea insisted upon passing
on all things?gradually brought about
a condition not condctlce to that har?
mony of purpose which brings out of
an organization the best results.
More than once during the McCrea
administration of the Pennsylvania 't
was thought wise to hare official denial
given to reports to the effect that there
was dissatisfaction with the way things
were going and discord in the manage?
ment. The death of Clement A. Gris
com. last Sunday, creating a vacancy
in the board of directors of the Penn?
sylvania Railroad, would seem to have
been seized upon as affording a de
tired opportunity for the big change
which was put through to-day.
Of the seventeen directors of tho
company thirteen are elected by the
stockholders, and these thirteen elect
four more men. all of them vice-presi?
dents, as additional members of the
board. The practice has been leg the
board to elect as president of the com?
pany one of the stockholders- directors.
