Will APPEAL TO COURT
COUNSEL FOR WABASH RAILWAY
employees PREPARING PAPERS.
Court Will BE Asked to Dissolve the
Injunction-RumOr that the Men
May Strike without Orders.

ST. LOUIS, March 5.-The Wabash strike
situation is resolving itself into a legal
battle for the dissolution of the injunction
granted two days ago by Judge Adams.
Attorneys for the firemen and trainmen are
still at work upon affidavits. to be filed in
court, showing why the injunction should
not be made permanent. A conference was
held to-day in the offices of Judson &
Green, st. Louis attorneys. Attorneys E. ].
Pinney of Cleveland, and W. T. Irwin, of
Peoria, with Grand Masters Morrissey and
Hannahan. were present, as were also
members of the local firemen. 1t was an
nounced later that Messrs. Judson and
Green had become associated with the
counsel representing the trainmen and fire.
men. and that the motion for a dissolution
of the restraining order would not be ready
for presentation for several days. John II.
Murphy, of Peoria, general counsel for the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, who
reached here to-day, was present at the
conference.
President Ramsey said to-day that he had
no statement to make on the situation, as
the questions at issue are now in the hands
of the court. The possibility of the firemen
and trainmen of the Wabash striking as
individuals without waiting for word from
their leaders, is being discussed. 1t is
stated the men are ready to go out at a
moments notice. Unless President Ramsey
yields. it is further declared that engineers.
conductors, telegraphers, brakemen and
trackmen to the number of fifty thousand
may become involved in the struggle. Ru-
mors of a secret compact between the men
and the leaders to go out, even IL the dis
solution of Judge Adams's Injunction is
not granted, are. abundant. The rules OF
the brotherhood prohibit striking without
sanction of the grand masters of the order.
Leaders of the Wabash employees tonight
received a letter from the leader of the
various organizations of the teamsters and
freight handlers at Chicago, saying that
10000 teamsters and freight handlers were
ready to join forces with the trainmen and
fremeD in case of strike.
President Ramsey says he will be able TO
fill the positions of the trainmen and fire.
men in a few days should a strike result
from the present trouble.

been a similar one delivered in either
branch of Congress. He then quoted from
Mr. Cannon's speech in the House early
yesterday morning, in which he gave the
reasons for the House conferees receding
from their position with respect to the
claim of South Carolina for $4,000 grow
ing out of the war OF 1Sl2-1Sl5 There were
two issues, he said. involved in that speech:
one affecting the dignity of the Senate and
the other affecting his own official in
tegrity. responsibility and personal ehar- mar,
indefensible, indecent and an outrage.
He read from Jefferson's manual regarding
the comfy that must obtain between two
branches OF a legislature and asked Wnetn-
er IL had not been grossly violated In this
case. Power, he said, had made some
of these men drunk" He then gave
history of South Cardinals claim. Answer
ing Mr.. Cannon's criticism with respect to
legislating by unanimous consent, Mr.. TIL.
man said that nothing in the House OF
Representatives seems TO go except by
unanimous consent of a few leaders.
''The unanimous consent of the men,
bers, he said, had fallen into innocuous
desuetude and the unanimous consent ne
speaks of so strenuously here is the unani-
nous consent of those in control" South
Carolina in this matter, he declared, had
been an outcast. with no voice here, and no.
body for fcrty years to ask that she shall
receive recognition or justice. MIR. Tilman
quoted the law authorizing the payment
of interest on South Carolina's claim, and
said II was that which led the committee
on appropriations to act, simply because IL
meant to do long-delayed act of justice
to South Carolina and undo the wrong
which had been done. THAT is the cause
of this cry of 'blackmail,' said he, land
which caused the charge that the Senate
forced the House to make a gift to South
Carolina of $1,000
Mr.. Tillman then said he had great re-
spect for MIR. Cannon, who as the watch
dog OF the treasury had saved the country
millions OF dollars. Mr.. Cannon had OBJ
jected to the matter, said Mr.. Tillman,
simply because he called II legislation on
an appropriation bill. Mr.. Tillman drew
a picture of the scene in the conference
room while the committee was discussing
treasury came in, shut his massive jaws
on his claim and said: Whenever you all
get ready TO rub 1t out wake me up" He
said he was only speaking metaphorically.
Mr. Tillman then spoke of the determina-
tion arrived at by him. II simply shut
my jaws down on the proposition" said

COLIMA STILL ACTIVE.


COLIMA, Mex, March 5-The volcano
continues active, new eruption taking
place last eevning at half-past 5. The char
coal burners near Tuxpan left their work

PUNISHED FOR PERJURY.


CHICAGO, March 5.-For perjuring him.
self in order that he might obtain di-
yorce from his wife, Henry NJ. Frey was
found guilty by jury in JudCe Brentano's
court to-day and sentenced to an indeter-
inmate term in the penitentiary. In addi-
tion fine of $1,000 was levied against him.
Carl Larsen and James +. Johnson, who
assisted Frey in his divorce suit by their
testimony. also were found guilty, but in
view of mitigating circumstances their pun
ishment was fixed at $50 fines.
Frey was charged with conspiracy in Sc
curing a divorce, in July, 1901. from Myra
Frey through fraud and perjured testi-
mony In the divorce case rey testified
that Myra Frey had deserted him two years
before, while ii was shown in the present
trial that she had lived with him w to a
month of the time he filed the divorce bill
In order to induce Mrs. Frey to leave him,
it is claimed, Frey invented fictitious per-
sonage whom he claimed to have married
in his teens. He told Myra Frey :hat she
(Myra) was therefore not his legal wife
BY this means Mrs. Frey was induced to
go to Ohio and while shere Frey instituted
divorce proceedings.

This sllurIng notice. spread broadcast
over the hill. and valleys OF York Coun-
ty. has led to the discovery OF a clue
that seems likely 10 unravel the nys-
terry surrounding the disappearance OF
George Walls, son OF Martin Walls, q
millionaire resident Of East Pittsburg.
Young Walls disappeared from Spring
Grove, York County. In the fall OF 1901.
Walls was mechanical engineer and
was engaged IN repsirlng a hlterins

The offer OF soo.hoo for any informs-
ton az 20 the boys fate is believed TO
be responsible for young Walls's re-
ported temperance. Only few days
after young Walls disappeared the pro-
prietor of the hotel at which Walls
boarded was also reported missing. At

Since tn. old man and his son started
for York county no message has been
received from them further than brief

found the boy.
The letters received from York county
friends strongly indicated that the long
absence OF the young fellow was re-
suit of a kidnapping plot News that

months and indictments that a big re-

to him.
From this and other facts that have
leaked out IN East Pittsburg the residents
of the little town expect 20 hear that
George Walls has been found and that
the $4,000 reward has been paid and no
questions asked.
