TRA|NMEN'S STRIKE
HAS BEEN DELAYED
Long Conference is Held Be-
tween Two Sides
SITUATION IS UNCHANG GE0
Mr.. Morr.ssey Has Arrived and Is
Spending His Time In Thoroughly
FamiIiarizing Himself With
the Conditions.

Philadelphia, January 20.-A strike of
the freight trainmen in the employ of
the Pennsylvania railroad on the lines
east of Pittsburg and Erie. has been de-
layed If not entirely averted by the pres
ence in this city of Grandmaster P. H.
Morrissey of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen.
There appears to be better feeling on
beth sides tonight, and although the sit
uation has not materially changed, 1t is
less acute than when First Vice Grand
master Lee, having exhausted all iis
efforts to effect an amicable adjustment
os the differences, hastily summoned Mr..
Morrissey from Cleveland to this city.
1t was expected that different action
would be taken today at the conference
between General Manager Atterbury Of
the Pennsylvania railway, Mr. Morrissey
Mr.. Lee and the board OF adjustment. but
after a interview of two and one half
hours duration. it was announced that the
conference would be continued tomor-
row.
Situation Is Unchanged.
At the conclusion of today's conference
the following joint statment was issued
by Mr. Atterbury and Mr.. Morrissey:
'At the meeting today the situation
was again gone over. No new PROPOSE
tions were made and the situation stands
practically as it was but the conference
will be resumed tomorrow. The conference
of today was largely to enable Mr.. Nor
rissey more thoroughly to familiarize
himself with the questions at issue from
the company's standpoint
The evident willingness OF both sides to
meet each other half way. 1t is believed.
will open an avenue through which a
strike may be averted. Before the meet
ing today r. T. Cohen. chairman of the
board of adjustment, said that to him
the situation looked much clearer
1T seems to be tending toward settle
ment rather than a break he said. "Our
side is certainly willing to arbitrate II that

Washington, January 40.-(SpeciaLy-

will place the case before the Senate.
Having failed to secure a favorable vote
in the House the supporters of Judge
Swayne are now working on the Sem
ate membership in the hope that the
case can be sidetracked for the session.
Developments of the day. however, in
dicated that the case would have to go
to trial. or at least an impeachment or
ganizatlon will be made. which will de-
eide the question of postponement.
PIatt Has Great Influence.
Senator o. II. Platt of Connecticut
chairman of the Senate judiciary COM
mi,tee, was over on the House side this
morning discussing the Swayne case with
the Speaker. Senator Platt will have
more influence in the disposition of the
case than any other member and bis
views. therefore, are of the greatest i'm
pcrtance. 1t is understood that Senator
Ilatt is strongly in Iavor of taking
uI the case and giving 1t immediate con-
Sideration He believes TINS TO pe only
fair to Judge swayne. who. If Innocent
should not rest under the stigma of the
House indictment un.l another session
meets. In addition, the Senator has doubts
as to the constitutionality of postpone
ment The Senate acts as jury, and
one-third of it's members go out on March
A. OF coure, more of them are retained
but a number of new members enter the
chamber. To postpone the case after an
Organization is made next week would be
very much like changing the members
OF Jury during tn. progress of an or
binary case in court. The chances for the
consideration of the case are therefore
much more favorable
With the Swayne case up for considera-
ton In the Senate little can be expected
in the way of legislation outside the
regular application bills. In fact. the claim
is made here in some quarters today, that
certain influential aenators are advocating
the consideration OF the case for the ex-
press purpose of shelving certain special
legislation, notably the extension OF In
terstate commerce commission power.
Senator Aldrich. the Senate republican
leader. is now said to be especially ac-
tive against Sw/yne.

He Answers Questions Frankly and
Throws New Light on Many
Points That Have Hereto

Washington, January 2O.-Interest in
the Smoot investigation before the Sem
ate committee on privileges and elections
was stirred today by the unexpected de-
termination to put Senator Smoot on the
stand on his own behalf without waiting
for other witnesses now en- route from
Utah.
The Senator was under direct and cross
examination all day and frankly answer
ed most of the questions asked. lie ac-
quilted himself excellently and appeared
TO make a favorable impression on the
members of the committee. At 4:40 D. m.
an adjournment was taken out of consid-
Grafton for the Witness who has oeen i'll
several weeks from indigestion.
The examination of Senator Smoot re-
lated to matter intimately connected
with church policy and his duty toward
the church as compared with his duties
as a Senator. lie said he had not taken
any oath that would interfere with his
loyalty to his government His recol-
lection of the endowment house cere-
mony was indstinet. he said. but he was
sure there were no obligations taken to
avenge the blood of the disciples either
upon this nation" or this generation"
as had been testified to by witnesses of
the prosecution.
A. S. Worthington. counsel for the de-
Tense, was closeted with the Senator
throughout the morning. He was late
In arriving at the capitol, but stated
that the expected witnesses having fail

over the strike situation, the incident

either the federal or state courts today

Mr.. Dawley declined to state
whether bonds would be furnished

There was not. and II would not have
been very strange If there had been. Jo-

Mr. Worthington asked him to explain
the rule which requires the consent OF
the church. Senate Smoot replied that IL
referred only to officials OF the church
and amounted to simply a leave of abb

"That consent was given me sometime
early In May and I announced my candi-
dacy May 10. 1902" continued the Senator.

Senator smoot at Ease.

senator Smoot was at his ease every
eye In the room was directed at him The
first questions was as to the Senator's
nativity. He said he was born in Salt
Lake City in 1862. His father and mother
were both dead. Ills mother was a plural
wife. Concerning his own family. he said
he was married September II, 1884. and
had but one wife They have six children.
lie said that at the time of his marriage
he did not take the endowments, but
that In 1880 he had gone through the en-
dowment house at the request of his
father before taking a trip to the Sand
wich Islands with his father for the bene-
MT of his fathers health. lie said he told
his father at that time that he did not
care much about taking the ceremony.
Senator Smoot said he had been en-
gagged in the mercantile business most
of his life. The only office in the church
that he had held other than apostle was
counsellor to the president of the Utah
Stake of Zion, and he declared that he
had taken no oaths of any character when
he became counsellor. nor had he taken
any oath when he became an apostle.
Mr.. Worthington asked Senator smoot
about the endowment and he replied; II
could not give 1t II | wanted to"
why not?'
Because / have no distinct rccolectl \
of the ceremony"

St. Petersburg, March 16.-M. Kir-

at Lao Yang. describing the causes of
the Russian defeats, has drawn poX-
erful picture of the complete criminal
lack of knowledge on the part of the
Russians of the country and the en-
emy's movements, and of the utterly
imprudent gossip and babbling which
acquaints the Japanese with every
movement and plan before they are in
augurated. He compares the Russian

Court has declared cannot legally be
adopted, wishes to withdraw that re-
port?"
Senator Alexander was not in the
house. and there was no answer to

wishes to seat Peabody, let it be
done. This motion. of all motions that
have been presented to this house,
