ERS CAN RETURN TO WORK.

ing photographers of the Northern Pacific
railroad at noon today became Hon-em-
ployes. and to return TO work for that
road they will have 10 become applicants
for positions, as any other employees.
Two proposals of a settlement were made
to the railroad officials today by strikers.
One proposal was that the management OF
the roads give in writing what terms of
settlement would be acceptable. This was
fatty refused.
Another offer proposed certain increase
in salaries, but much smaller than the
amount the strikers first demanded. and
permission for a paid agent of the union
to work among the men on the system.
This also refused by the railroads
who informed the strikers that negotiations
would be carried on with them only in
dividuals.
The Great Northern and the Northern Pa
cine railroads say they have filed nearly
a.. positions made vacant by strikers.
President Perham of the photographers

tIor! was mordeHvora bic for the union than

breakers have been induced to quit the
service during the last twenty-four hours
than any time since August =. said Parham
End Seems Certainly Near.
That the end % the telegraphers' strike on
the Northern Pacific and Great Northern
railroads is near seems certain. The only
uncertainty is how 1t will end. Reports of
wholesale desertions of men from the union

visions OF tie Great Northern were Offset
today by the following telegram from Hell

the men who stood together for living

LUMBER IMPORTERS.
Ask Government to Intervene in
Matter Of Duties.

BERLIN. August 12.-Importers of Amer
lean lumber. who for thirteen years have
paid higher duties than those laid on CORE
spending imports from other countries
have asked the United States government
to intervene in their behalf. and the Ameri-
can Association OF Commerce and Trade Is
sending an explanation of the grounds of
protest with documents supporting it to
Secretary of State Root One paragraph
of the explanation reads:
The discrimination referred to dates
back to 1893 when the Associated German
State Railroads began charging so per cent
more on American oak. ash and pine than
on the same classes OF woods imported
from European countries, the only excuse
for such procedure being the claim that
botanically there were slight differences
between the American and the European
species of woods mentioned This clearly
was a mere subterfuge.'

A Friend Of the President.
Mr.. Sheffield is friend of President

II the President appoints Mr.. Sheffield he
must do SO In defiance of the wishes of the

from the declarations of the senators to the
President is that II their wishes shall be
disregarded they will endeavor to hold up
the confirma ton by the Senate.
That would mean break between the

TAGGART DIVORCE SUIT
CLIMAX OF THE TRIAL AT WoOS-
TER, OHIO, YESTERDAY.
Captain Declared That He had Always
Been a Faithful Husband-Details
Of Examination.

WOOSTER. Ohio, August 1.-THE ell
max Of the Taggart divorce case came
today when Captain Tsggsrt declared on
his direct examination that he had always
been faithful husband. This was near the
close OF his testimony and was IN answer
to question by his attorney.
While on the stand the captain reiterated
his story OF the events leading up to the
separation of himself and his wife. He
told OF the farewell with his wife, after
they had decided to separate and whe, ha
was going to the Philippines, when she af-
iectlonateiy called him Tag and kissed
him goodbye
In the cross-examination. which was in
terrupted by the adjournment at noon tine
Monday. Attorney Smyser for Mrs. Tag
cart sought to convey the impression lnat
Iagsart alone was responsible for the
over-indulgence OF his wife in intoxicating
liquors. and that line of questioning will
prooaoiy be pursued on Monday.
Drank Everything.
We drank about everything that came
our way" said Taggart. describing a third
year leave he had spent with other cadets
In New York. He frankly admitted that the
cadets drank about all the drinks they
knew of; that they came pretty fast and
that he liked them He did not become
drunk In New York and drank temperateiy
question as to how much ne had drank
at Fort Douglas, Taggart replied:
4 dare say about the same as you would
have drank
The court room crowd burst into a roar
OF laughter at this.
Taggart kept whiskey for the entertain
ment Of guests and usually drank with
them. but never alone. He would offer
guests drinks six times a day If they would
drink them that often, but himself would
observe his habits of sobriety by reducing
the size of his drinks.
When he First Met Wife.
At Camp Hollywood and Fort Sheridan,
near Chicago Taggart had met and mar
ried this little woman" as Smyser invari-
ably called Mrs. Taggart. He supposed
that she had been reared to abstain from
liquors. but could not know certainly.
Neither could he say she never offered him
liquor.
tie woman" had been infatuated with him.
He denied that he induced" her to drink
beer when she first Joined him at Platts-
burg barracks. but said he had raised no
objection when the trained nurse, who ac-
companied her from Chicago, suggested 1t.
She drank it. she said. for medicinal pur-
poses and he accepted her reason as true.
There was talk in Wooster OF a possible
reconciliation of the estranged husband
and wife as result of some OF the develop
ments of the trial. and it Is pointed out
that the captain in his testimony has been
as considerable OF Mrs. Taggarts feelings
as he possibly could be under the circum
stances.
