Upon that theory, proved beyond a
doubt, cure for dandruff was sought
after. Scientists, chemists. druggists
end physicians all took hand and
the successful issue is the present prod
uct known as "Newbro's Herpicide."
This remedy actually kills the para
sites that infest the hair bulb, does its
work most effectively and contains not
an atom of substance injurious to any
thing else than the germ alone. Herpi-
eide causes the hair to grow as nature
intended it should, soft and abundant.

A DEADLOCK at NEW ORLEANS
Proposition to Negotiate Looking Toward
Strike Settlement is Made.
CBy the Associated Press


New Orleans, La, Oct. 1.-PresideIt II.
Fl. Pearson, Jr., of the New Orleans
Railway Company, arrived today from
New York The company proposes to
stand firmly on the April agreement with
the employees. This agreement the en-
ployes now desire to set aside. The rea-
son urged by the employees for this ac-
tion is that the company has violated
the agreement. This the company de-
MED. For three days the mayor has been
trying to reach a settlement of the strike
through arbitration and has attempted to
get the employees to show proofs of their
allegations that the company has violated
the April agreement This the men de-
cline to do unless they be allowed to do
so before the cars are started. The
company says ii will arbitrate if the men
will go to work in the meantime.
Thus the situation is a deadlock and
all hopes Of arbitration seem to be aban-
doned. it is expected that the company
will advertise for 900 conductors and mo-
tormen 20 lake the place of the strikers.
There is no disorder of any kind to-
day. Not car is running except two
mail cars.
proposition to take up further nego-
tiations looking toward arbitration has
been made. This may result in a settle
ment.

way was paved for the present strike.
They also claim that the strikers have
hoped that political influence would be
again exerted in their behalf and the op-
orators compelled to make further con-
cessions. The efforts of Senators Quay
and Penrose, of Pennsylvania Senator
Platt, of New York, and Governor Stole,
of Pennsylvania, have been pointed out
as a verification of the claim of operators.
All this they have asserted is due to the
settlement which was made in 1900.
All these various questions have been
discussed during the past few days, to-
gether with the legal situation and the
power of the Federal administration in
the premises and the conclusion was
reached that the President could do more
by bringing the interested parties togeth-
or than in any other way
There will be no one present at Fri
days meeting at the temporary White
House but the principals. 1t is true t>ar
Friday is Cabinet day and that il O'Clock
the hour appointed in the invitations for
the meeting of the coal magnates is the
usual hour of assembling of the Cabi-
net, but according to the present under
standing the Cabinet meeting will be
postponed. The purpose of the postpone
ment is plainly to relieve the invited
guests from the feeling of reserve that
might naturally be created if they ap-
peared before the entire Cabinet, includ-
ing some exceedingly clever lawyers whom
the coal people might not care to meet
in a business way in the absence OF
their own legal advisers. So, the alb
sence of the Cabinet will give the Presi-
dent an opportunity to do just what he
wants, namely, to have a good heart to
heart talk with the operators and Mr.
to induce them to talk to each
other freely and to reason quietly and
soberly and finally to agree, if possible,
to make concessions on each side which
will terminate the strike. And at last,
ii this last object cannot be directly at
tanned, it is hoped that the foundations
may be laid for an agreement in the near
future, perhaps an agreement between
the principals to have further meetings
and perhaps to prefer to reopen issue.

1t is stated positively that the Presi-
dent has no assurances from either side
which formed the basis of his call for
this meeting. But when Secretary Root
