ENDS IN FAILURE.
Effort TO Settle Strike Of
the Tugboat Hands.
Six Big Railroad Companies
Refuse to Grant Demands.
Movement Of Freight Is Badly Crippled and
Heavy Loss Is Expected.

New York, Aug. 9.-An attempt made
late today to adjust the differences be-
tween six railroad companies having
terminals in this city, and the crews
of the railroad tugboats operating in
New York harbor ended in failure.
The representatives of the Central
Railroad of New Jersey, Delaware.
Lackawanna & Western, Erie, Balti-
more & Ohio, New York Central, and
Lehigh Valley Railroads, which We're
most seriously affected declined to ac-
cede to the demands of the striking
crews for an increase in wages of S.
to $40 q month, and declared that they
would fill the places of the strikers
with new men.
The movement of freight on the roads
from their terminals in New Jersey
and Staten Island to New York City
was badly crippled by the strike of
the tugbOat crews, which went int1
effect today and many carloads of
freight We're stalled on the west bank
Of the Hudson river. 1t is feared that
if the strike continues there will be Ii
heavy loss to shippers Of fruits and
vegetables, and other perishable
freights, and much inconvenience to
New Workers.
The Pennsylvania and New York,
New Haven 4 Hartford Railroads are
not affected.
Today's decision of the railroad Off
Gals 10 keep up battle with the strik-
ers was reached after a conference be-
tween Manager Walter b. Pollock Of
the New York Central with the strik-
ers, at which the conferees failed to
reach an agreemnt. Mr.. Pollock, who
was authorized to act for the other
railroads informed the men that their
demands would not be granted. He af-
terward reported his action to the Off
GERS of the marine departments of the
other roads and they agreed to sup
port his attitude.

the men enjoyed apples, bananas and

The sun beat fiercely down upon the
camp all day Thursday and although
the company streets were pretty hot,
the men didn't appear to feel the eff
fccts of the heat, becoming somewhat
seasoned to the torrid rays on their
long march into camp.

Because Of the fact that only the 1st
Regiment enjoys the distinction of be-
ing in camp on Governors day, there
were many visitors at camp who came
from Augusta and other surrounding
cities principally to meet Gov. Cobb.
The crowd of visitors was not as large
as in some former years when both the
LIST and "a Regiments were encamped
together, but with an ideal day and
not particularly eventful afternoons
program, everyone was pleased and
many who came to camp, gained for
the first time knowledge of the methods
Of the National Guard at first hand.
At $50 O'Clock the regimental band.
stationed beneath a canopy in front of
the Governors headquarters, began a
concert. The program included semi

Gov. Cobb left the camp at a45

when taps sounded, while the soldiers
slept and gathered strength for the

vantage and all effects of the long
march into camp had been effaced
when the Chief Executive of the State
arrived, mounted on a beautiful chest
nut horse at The head of his gaily uni
formed staff.
Governors day at the State muster
has become one of the features of the
week in camp and in the old days of
the National Guard when both regi-
ments camped together, and at the
same time, the day set aside in honor
of the head Of the Guard was the fete
day of the encampment-and is no less
important at this time, although the
day was not as an eVentful one as
usual Thursday, because Of a success
sion of circumstances. The usual re-
view, which in previous years has Oc-
CURED soon after the arrival Of the
Governor in camp, was not entirely
omitted Thursday. but rather com
bined with the regular daily dress pa
rade which occurred in the pleasant
est time of the beautiful day--an hour
or 50 before sunset.
Revies Of beautifully costumed la
dies and gallant officers clad in full
reGimentals enlivened the camp from
the arrival OF the Governor early in
the afternoon until his departure in the
evening.
Governor Cobb expressed his admi-
ration Of the regiment. both to General
Farnham and to Col. Kendall. the COM
manuer of the regiment, and expressed
satisfaction at the excellent manner in
which the experiment of a long march
into camp was executed. The Governor
also spoke in most commendatOry
terms of the value of the assistance
and instruction Of Capt. Ellis OF the
National Guard during the encamp-
mcnt.
The climatic conditions in camp were
faultless Thursday and the men after
refreshing sleep in quarters were
rested and ready-even eager-to begin
the camp duties in real earnest. Fol-
lowing regulations established. the
first call was sounded at o.2o O'Clock,
the reveille five minutes later. followed
closely by the assembly and roll call.
Sick call at 6 o'clock and the welcome
mess call, calling the men to breakfast
at $40 o'clock. The breakfast was
good one and plenty Of wholesome ard
well-coolled food was served. The men
certainly appreciate the efforts Of their
cooks in camp and they We're loud In
their praises of the good things provid-
ed at breakfast Thursday morning.
The ceremony Of guard mount was
an interesting and spectacular one, and
in charge of the adjutant, Capt. Eiliott'
| The regimental band played several Sc
lections during the ceremony as Is
customary and after the usual evoiu-
tions, the guard was assigned to duty.
The officer Of the day was Capt. Ru-

Professor Paul Schmidt Hausler,
late owner of a Photographic gallery
in the John Schmidt building, from
which he departed with certain rugs
belonging to NJ. A. RAIDER, has been
found. He is in Butte, Mont, and is
being cared for by the chief of po-
lice. Information to this effect has
been wired TO Sheriff Taylor, and un-
less a settlement of the case can be
made, a deputy will be sent for the
absconding professor"
1t was several months ago that
Professor Hausler left here, leaving a
note upon his door that he had gone
to Athena. After several days it was
discovered that he had taken with
him about $50 worth of rugs which
Mr.. RAIDER had sold him on consign-
ment. Also, it developed that the
professor had left numerous other
bills of greater or less amounts. Con-
sequently, the district attorney and
sheriff were notified, and the recent
arrest of Mr.. Hausler at Butte is the
result. Evidently the professor was
going by the simple name of Paul
Schmidt while in Montana, as the
telegram to the sheriff calls him by
that name.

ONLY A PARDON CAN SAVE.
Appears TO BE No Hope for Either
Martin or Taylor.

Since the supreme court has denied
the motion for rehearing filed In be-
half of Moses Taylor and Grover
Martin, there is now nothing to keep
the two men from the penitentiary
unless the governor should intervene
with pardon. Martin has been In
the county Jail since the first supreme
court decision was given, consequent
ly the last decree does not affect his
present condition.
However, Taylor has not been in
Jail at all, having been out on bail
ever since he was first convicted. But
when the official mandate OF the su-
preme court reaches the local offic-
ials he will have to go to the county
Jail and await the trip to Salem.
This morning the mandate was tele-
phoned for. and 1t is probable that
the same will arrive here in the morn
ing.
In view OF the Davis trial, 1t is not
likely that either Martin or Taylor
will be taken below this week, for
there is no specified time in which
the transfer must be made.
