Railroad May Strike.

CHICAGO, May 2.-Unless the manage
ment Of the Illinois Central Railroad re-
-cedes from the position it has taken on
the question of granting a nine-hour day
to machinists, a general strike on the en-
tire system seems imminent

discussed the situation for several hours
no understanding was reached on the
shorter workday question. The conferees
said progress had been made on a num-
her Of points, and another meeting might
be held, although no date was set and
the men returned to the different points
along the road where they were working
previous to their coming here ten days

It is understood that they are to report
back to their respective unions the atti-
tude of the company and tsEe q vote on
the question OF a, strike.

EASTMAN'S MURDER TRIAL
The State Expected to Rest It's
Case Today.

Trend OF Testimony to BE Adopted
by the Defence still UnknoYyn-The
Accused Man Net Likely to Be
Called Upon to Take the STAND
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. May at is
expected that the State will rest today
in the trial OF Instructor Eastman, the
Harvard man. who is charged with the
murder of his brother-in-Iaw. who was
a s0n-in-law Of Avian Clarke, the IA
nous Iens-maker.
The indications are that the last Of
the prosecutions testimony win be in
when recess is taken.
The trend Of the defence, the Witness
es it viii call, its contentious upon
dozen points-all these are problemati-
cal. Edstman's senior counsel, sam
Elder, caused a surprise in yesterdays
session when ne admitted that the
Murray bullet" which, according to
the States evidence. is the bullet taken
from Grogan's body. came from a CEN
tre-fre revolver. It has been apparent
from the tendency Of the prosecutors
testimony that TIE States attorneys
expected strong opposition to tbe view
which the defence so suddenly admit
ted
According to this admission. East
mans statements. so far as they refer
to the shooting Of Grogan by the acci-
dental discharge of the rfm-fire pistol,
are not correct.
The only course open to Eastman's
lawyers would seem to be to claim the
police substituted a bullet to TT their
case or to have Eastman go on the
stand and claim the-shooting was done
II seIf-defenee-
The former course would necessitate
the upsetting of the testimony of the
medical examiner, the Cambridge po-
lice, and lastly the evidence of Prof.
Wood. the Harvard chemical expert,
who says that he analysed bits Of metal
taken from Grogan's spine and found
tin in the lead.
If Eastman goes on the stand, the
through testimony secur-
ed in the West, is ready, it is under
stood, to fiercely assan his character.
his lawyers viii probab-
y call Eastman to the stand only as a
last resort

THE PALISADES GRANT.
Action of the Jersey Legislature
Said to BE Illegal.

NEW YORK Nay Because the Leg
stature OF New Jersey passed ten years
ago an act by which all the underwater
lands Of the State were irrevocabIy dedi-
Gated to the school fund, it is believed
that the recent Legislatures grant OF
twelve miles of waterfront for purposes
of the Palisades Park may have been il
legal. Another objection raised to this is
that the Legislature IS specifically for
hidden by the State constitution to make
any gift of public lands whatever
The line Of waterfront in question is
valued at $500, COO 1t has been asserted
that the movement for the preservation
of the Palisades is unpopular in the more
remote parts OF the State and that legal
action to restore this waterfront TO the
State viii therefore, find ready support
in these sections 1t is understood that
contest viii be made of the Palisades
grant, upon the ground that the Legisla-
lures gift was either a subterfuge by
which the school fund was depleted or a
violation of the State constitution.

missed, he discOUrsed at some length on
stock quotations and the value placed on
stocks generally by the Stock Exchange
bids as guide to truth for a judicial
