Those Representing Consolidated Road En-
ploJes Hold All Night Session.

ance committees of the conductors ana
trainmen of the New York, New Haven
night session last night at which Mr..
Fitzpatrick of Cleveland, o., vice grand

Rapids. Ia. senior grand conductor OF the
Railway Conductors organization, were
present
Nothing concerning the conference was
given out except that the deliberations
had not been concluded. and that another
officers would be held today. AS far as
surface Indications went the committees
remained firm I'm their contention that
their grievances should be presented
Jointly 10 the railroad company.
1t 4 known that the oiscers OF the COM
pany have refused absolutely 20 have
any dealings with the two committees
Jointly but that they have signified a
willingness any committee representing
a single branch of the service.
The position of the company is that
one branch Of the service should not at.
tempt TO dictate wages or adjust griev-
ances OF another branch and that there
fore no conference can be held with n
joint committee representing both train
men and conductors.
The demands which the trainmen and
conductors wish to present. include
wage increase and various changes In
the. rules governing their work It is
said that the grievance committees rep
resent 90 per cent OF the tralnmen and
conductors OF the system.

Cholcs Of Clarke H. Johnson

Satisfaction TO Bench and Bar

The election OF Hon. Clarke III. Johnson

Johnson has many qualities which will
tend To make him a very fine addition TO
the court
AT the present time the court has lots
OF business on hand and they regretted
poor health OF Judge Rogers which led to
his retirement has caused the work OF the
court to be somewhat In arrears. The 9TH
er justices will be therefore very glad
when the new Justice takes his seat.
Judge Douglas will hear or at least will
assign no jury trial waived cases
Judge Dubois will In all probability
succeed Judge Douglas in the hearing of
Jury trial waived cases and also divorce

OF the three Judges who hear as "A full
court the most important matters. The
new duties OF Judge Dubois will make
him justice OF the appellate division.
though, of course, all the justices on the
supreme court are equal In position.
The large number OF jury trial cases

The report at the state house and the
belief seems general at the court house
that Judge Johnson will not qualify until
after the general assembly adJourns. As

successfully II was found that eight hun
dred thousand bales had been dealt in.
There are now about sixty-seven thou

This was the largest movement OF the
crop during the first week I'm March on

20 the weakness ~ the market.
With the closing OF the market Mr..
Price made this statement:

The Postofice Scandal Has Assumed
Phase Which Demands His !,
Intervention.

The Question Of Their Prosecution
Will Be Left to President
Roosevelt.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago May 29.--Walter Wellman in
q Washington special to the Record Her
aid says:
tai next week President Roosevelt will be
confronted Immediately with questions
arising from the scandal in the postoffice
department. One Of the most serious of
these questions is the contention that has
arisen between Postmaster General Payne,
and his first assistant. Mr.. Wynne. There
are other problems which will be laid
before the president
1t is freely rumored that Mr.. Bristow
has found discriminating evidence against
former officials of the department SO
high in station and SO peculiarly iden-
titled with the republican party that II
will be very painful to prosecute them
and that Mr.. Payne will not assume the
responsibility Of doing so without the au-
thorizat ton of the president.
Mr.. Payne refuses to substantiate these
rumors, but 1t is apparent that questions
of Sthe gravest Importance are awaiting
the presidents action. If the rumors
turn out to be well founded and evidence
has been found again former officials, 1t
Is believed President Roosevelt will sink
all consideration of party and of the re-
lationship of the accused to great ma
tional characters now dead. and instruct
Mr.. Payne to go ahead with the prosecu-
tions.
The surprising turn of events during the
last few days has given the postoffice
scandal an Importance which it never be-
fore possessed It, of course, in a meas
ure 1ustifies those who have all along
claimed the department was honeycombed
with corruption The history of this cpl
sode, when the time comes to write it in
full will form one Of the most interest
Ing stories In American politics.

Chicago, May z9.-Floods have taken the

thousands of families along the banks OF

AGAINST RECIPROCITY
The Philadelphia Press Attacks
Eugene Hays Report in It's
Editorial Columns.
From The journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build
ing, Washington, 80

From Tho Journal Bureau, Room IS, Post Build
ing, Washington,
Washington. May 29-The philadelphia
Press this morning has half column edi-
torial discussion of Eugene Hays report
to the Minnesota branch of the National
Reciprocity league on the outlook for reci-
procity with Canada, and as might be
expected. the paper doesn't regard reci-
procity with favor. After quoting from
Hays report. the Press continues on the
question Of "A Free Interchange of Ma
tural Products" which Hay says Canada
seems to want:
"Such reciprocity arrangement would
be ridiculous for the United States and
there is no probability Of it's being car
ried out. When it comes to manufac-
tured goods, Canada says that any reduc-
tions in duty for our benefit would also
be given to Great Britain. But where
would there be any reciprocity In that?
We are asked to accept as return for
the free admission Of Canadian products
to our market Of 80.OOo,0OO people the
right to share with Great Britain the Ca
madam market of less than 5000, 900 per-
sons There will be no reciprocity treaty
with Canada on such q basis
When Canada realizes that fact and
offers something exclusive from her small
population In return for the exclusive priv.
ileges she gets In this market there will
be an opening for negotiations.
las it stands new, coal and perhaps
lumber and a few other things might
make the basis Of a restricted treaty; but
there can be no general treaty if Great
Britain is to share with the United States
in any reductions in the Canadian mar
ket. That Is the point that those who, for
personal reasons, advocate reciprocity
with Canada, never say anything about
Canada's absurd natural products propo-
sition would avoid this issue with Great
Britain

This gentleman had a long interview
with the governor short time before the
editorial party left St. Paul and he says
he is authorized to make this statement
without reservation. He said:
'The governor is naturally fattered by
the third term talk, but will not lose his
head. He has been twice elected and next
year will retire from office with g. splendid
record and much honor. He feels that
even if he were inclined to third term
he would meet with bitter opposition, owing
to prejudice against it in the state and
that even while he might succeed, he
would add nothing to his reputaion,and his
third term In many ways might be a disap-
pofntment to himself and his friends. He
therefore has determined not to to be a
candidate. OF course, should there be a
strong demand by the state for him to run
for the sake Of some undetermined issue he
hight consider It. But that is impossible.
The merger as an active issue in Mime
sofa Is dead. Van SAINT has made all the
reputation with it that is possible. Nothing
will come to take its place. He recog-
nizes the fact. AS between the several
candidates for Governor: he has no prefer
ence and does not propose to throw his in
fluence into the scale for, or against any
of them"
There is a strong suspicion here that
Joel Heatwole Is preparing to rally to
the support Of Frank Eddy for governor,
having abandoned his alliance or proposed
alliance with Bob Dunn. Heatwole's rep
| resentatives on the train talked Eddy a
great deal, it is said, and those who heard
them are inclined to think that tHeatwole
is preparing to take Eddy up openly. At
the same time this may be merely a feint,
for the purpose Of feeling out the situa-
ton and finding out how the land lies.
The editorial party is strongly inclined
to think Dunn is the strongest candidate
for governor. They admit the merger
| handicap; but think 1t can be overcome.
In fact, steps being taken, 1T Is
said, to shape up a line of campaign which
will present Dunn to the people, divorced
| from the merger question. 1t is under
stood that before the campaign opens ac-
lively, Dunn will be put on q platform of
| state and other issues which will be
satisfactory to ali his friends and the pub
lie. Unless this is done, Van SAINT might
| be forced to run again. With Dunn the
leading candidate and his merger record
| not explained, there might be a. strong
| demand for Van SAINT. Dunn's friends re-
| alize this and say he will not carry the
merger handicap very much longer.
