May Not Involve Machen.

Postmaster General Payne was notified
of the arrests by Mr.. Bristow this evening
and they had a short conference on the
subject. The postmaster general was in
disposed today and did not reach the de-
partment until 2 o'clock. He omitted the
usual 4 o'clock interview with the news
paper men, which has become his daily
custom almost since the inception OF the
postofice investigation, and sent word that
there was nothing to give out, but when in
terrogated as to future developments
merely responded that zone could never tell
what the morrow would bring forth"
Postal officials, after the arrests would
not say whether their investigation would
implicate Mr.. Machen. who was general
superintendent Of the system while the al
legged transactions occurred, in the present
matter. Fourth Assistant Cen
eral Bristow when asked a question on this
point, declined to answer, saying that the
statement made comprises all the depart
ment cared to give, out on the subject at
this time.
Mr.. Bristow also declined to say what
action was likely to be taken in the case
of c.. E. Smith. the Baltimore contractor
who is named in connection with the case.
'Mr. Smith has not been arrested" Mr..
Bristow said, in reply to all inquiries, 'and
1 cannot say anything as to whether ne
will OF will not be taken into custody" Mr..
Bristow said, however. that the two ar
rests close the case for the present.

CONFERENCE TO Be HELD IN MEANTIME
Effort 10 spread the waIkOut f. Met
by Temporary COncessiOns-De-
veIopments in the other
Strikes.

CHICAGO, June 6-A truce lie to be de-
clared as a result of the conference between
the hotel proprietors and their employees
tonight. No active steps will be Caken by
either side for two days while committees
OF the hotel men and labor leaders will
meet and endeavor to make a satisfactory
settlement. The employees who were or
dered out on strike yesterday and today
returned to work tonight pending a settle
ment of the trouble.
The employees issued a statement tonight
declaring that the management of the no.
tells have already signed a scale giving the
strikers all the concessions asked for. The
managers, however. deny there has been
any agreement. A meeting of the restau-
rant employees and their employers will he
called for tomorrow. when a similar agree
ment. 1t is likely. will be reached.
With two hotels and twelve restaurants
and lunch rooms already tied up as the re-
suit of labor troubles, cooks and walters
e~ndeavored to spread the strike today by
calling on the help In three leading hostel
ries of the city. Union delegates visited
the Auditorium hotel, the Auditorium An
mex and the Palmer house restaui ants, but
walkouts at these places were averted,
temporarily at least, by an agreement for
a conference to talk over the situation. The
meeting was arranged for j O'Clock and the
decision Of the labor representatives to re-
ceive a committee of proprietors from the
leading hotels and restaurants came as the
result OF the attitude OF powerful men IL
labor circles who were opposed to the ac-
ton of the employees IN refusing to open ne
gotiations.
The laundry strike, which was begun
here May 1, was settled tonight and the
strikers will return to work Monday. The
grievance committee is TO be composed of
three representatives of the workers and
three of the employers, these to choose a
seventh man. The decision of the board Is
to be final. The unions demanded the alb
solute unionization of the shops, insisting
that no nonunion men should be employed
on any pretext. They have given up this.
Dissatisfied with the wage scale. 300 men
belonging to a loading gang of Armour &
Co.'s plant in the stock yards have gone on
strike.
A wage scale was agreed on last week
and the men worked until last night, when
they expressed dissatisfaction with the
agreement. 1t is said. that efforts will be
made by the officers of the Packing Trades
council to persuade the men to return to
work and fulfill their part of the agree
ment.

ALLIES PROTOCOLS.
The NegOtiatOrs Said to Be Closely
Guarding Their Provisions.
BOWEN WILL NOT AGREE TO THEM.
The American Minister objects to the
Principle Contained in the German and
Italian Doouments-The Result OF
serious Misunde rs landing.

Washington, Feb. 10.-Although
Mr.. Bowen and the other negotia-
tors are closely guarding the provi-
sions of the several protocols, 1t ID
understood that the demands which
are known to exist in the German
and Italian agreements, as they are
at present drafted, which Mr.. Bowen
cannot agree to, concede an increased
payment by Venezuela prior to the
handing down of The Hague's deci-
sion regarding the allies contention
for preferential consideration in the
settlement Of their claims. 1t is re-
ported that Germany asks that she
receive in addition to the $27,500
cash that Mr.. Bowen has agreed to
pay certain percentage of the Gus
toms receipts until the remainder of
the $4,000 demanded in the original
ultimatum addressed by Germany to
President Castro last autumn Is paid.
Italy, II is believed, is insisting ON
similar demand, though the amount
asked for In her ultimatum was more
than 100000. Both Germany and
Italy suggest that this money be paid
in monthly installments out OF the
customs duties, but, even under this
arrangement, it would require eight
months for the payment of the en-
tire sum.
1t Is the principle, however, TO
which Mr.. Bowen so strenuously OBJ
jects and which he has informed the
German and Italian ENJOYS he can
not subscribe to. Until their proto-
coils are relieved Of these objection

MAY CALL AN EXTRA SESSION


Washington, Feb. 9.-It can be
stated by authority that unless anti
trust legislation, at least reasonably
satisfactory to the administration, is
enacted the present session, Presi-
dent Roosevelt, March s, will call an
extraordinary session Of the Fifty
eighth congress. The president him
self has told members of congress
of his desires and of his determine
ton in this regard. It Is understood
that the announcement was direct
and unqualified. It is further stated
that the determination of the presi-
dent was reached only after careful
consideration of the efforts that are
making to defeat any antitrust leg
islation by congress. These efforts
eliminated, it is declared, in direct
appeals from the Standard Oil com
pany, six United States senators
having received telegrams signed
"John d. Rockefeller" urging that no
antitrust legislation be enacted.

The RACE QUESTION.
Roots Speech Before the Union
League Club Causes Comment
QUESTION ASSUMING GIGANTIC FORM



Washington, Feb. 9.-Secretary
Roots speech before the Union
League club in New York has ac-
centuated situation which is daily
growing more acute. The secretary
of war is believed to be closer to the
president than any other member OF
his official family. The admission
from such o source that the results
from the enfranchisement of the me-
groes have been disappointing and
that the solution of the question calls
for the best thought Of the nation is
interpreted by democrats to mean
that the president entertains similar
views of the situation. Republicans
refuse to discuss this phase Of the
question. It may be that President
Roosevelt himself has some plan
which he believes will uplift the ne
gro race and that he shortly will give
It publicity. Within few months
the race question has assumed
more gigantic political form than has
been presented since the enfranchise-
ment.
Senator Hanna has just introduced
o bill pensioning ex-slaves. This bill
was first introduced by the late Sen
ator Ingalls,, of Kansas. 1t attracted
very little attention at the time, but
its presentation by Hanna when the
entire south was already aroused
and the negroes infamed has result
ed in the most incendiary utterance
which southern newspapers have
given for years. That the south is
genuinely alarmed is proved by the
scores of personal letters which are
daily received in Washington from
friends in the black belts of all the
southern states. These letters re-
count situations which have never
been presented in the newspapers.
Social equality demonstrations are
daily occurrences in many towns in
Mississippi and Alabama. Washing
ton correspondents of southern
newspapers are devoting themselves
almost exclusively to a discussion OF
the race question.
The negroes throughout the south
seem to be laboring under an entire
ly mistaken idea as to what the
president wants to do for them. This
is shown not only by the negro
clamor for Office, but from innumer-
able mass meetings and demands for
social equality.
Republican congressman have been
most guarded in their expressions
regarding Secretary Roots speech.
Such fre-eaters as Crumpacker were
unwilling to be quoted in the news
papers. 1t was admitted everywhere
the race question was one which
could no longer be obscured or min
imized.
Senator Carmack, of Tennessee,
said: II am glad to see that the ad-
has come to recognize
there is such thing as race ques-
ton. 1t has never done SO before.
This admission offers the hope that
the question may be approached from
a national standpoint"

tinctly felt Immediately in St. Louis,
in the western suburban towns and
in Alton, Belleville, Edwardsville and
other nearby towns in Illinois, it was
sufficiently forceful to rattle dishes

followed within two minutes
and was slight and of short dura-
ton. Both shocks were from south
