SCHEDULE.

BALTIMORE, Md, January "a
The conference between General Man
ager Thomas Fitzgerald and the gen.
eral grievance committee of the
Brotherhood Of Railway Trainmen

justment of wages, by which it is
thought some of them will be more
justly compensated, and this, with pos
sible changes in some of the rules gov

Some Time Tomorrow Afternoon

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 24.-The
senate committee on foreign relations
has decided to report in favor of a
treaty confirming Cuba's title to the
Isle of Pines.
In the house the galleries were
crowded. The members were nearly
all present, anticipating the battle for
statehood, which, after long skirmish-
ing, was fought out on the floor today.

port consisting of a rule providing

tinue until p. m. Thursday and at
that time it be reported to the house,

DIFFER OVER APPOINTMENTS
Ankeny and Cushman Would Name
POstmdsters.
SENATOR and CONGRESSMAN TO DIVIDE
Olympia and Vancouver Offices Are the
Bone Contention Between
the Two Men.
SENATOR and CONGRESSMAN TO DIVIDE

The appointments of postmasters at
Olympia, and at Vancouver are the
only patronage questions upon which
there is any serious difference of opin-
ion among members of the Washington
delega ton in congress at present, is
the report that comes from Washing
ton. Representative Cushman is at
odds with Senator Ankeny in both of
these cases. and the outlook now is
that the congressman and the senator
will divide nonors in the final result.
The nomination of Dan Crowley as
postmaster at Vancouver was opposed
last winter by Senator Ankeny, and
upon the recommendation of Mr.. Cush-
recess appointment after the adjourn
ment of the special session of the
senate in March This recess appoint
ment was sent to t e senate upon the
convening of congress last month, and
now awaits confirmation Some un-
certainty exists as to the continued
opposition of Senator Ankeny, but it is
believed that he viii yield to the extent
of allowing the nomination to go
through.
The postmastership at Olympia is a
case of quite a different kind w. T.
Cavanaugh has been the postmaster
for a number of years, and mis- second
term will expire in a short time. Rep
resentative Cushman secured Mr..
Cavanaughs appointment originally
but the two fell out and Mr.. Cushman
is bitterly opposed to his proposed ap-
pointment for a third term. The post
master, however, has the backing of
Senator Ankeny, and the postmaster
general is inclined to recommend the
appointment to the president.
Mr.. Cavanaugh will also have the
advantage of the rule laid down by the
postoffice department recently that
postmasters who have served accept
ably for one or two terms will be re-
appointed. Representative Cusnman
Cortelyou, protesting against the OBJ
servance of this new rule in the case
of Mr.. Cavanaugh, but the chances are
that the protest will not affect the
action of the postmaster general or the
president

tenn used in the Office.

Of Jimmy Garfield

ly Indicate He Will Decide
in Favor of Packers

CHICAGO. Ill, Jan. 24.-In the fed =
eral court this morning District Attor-
ney Morrison expounded the common
law which provides immunity for all
persons who turn states evidence.
Morrison said his understanding of the
law was that a witness cannot claim
immunity unless he testifies under oath
in court, and must claim the constitu-
tional privilege in open court. The
court disagreed wit the main points of
Morrisons plea.
The case this afternoon took on a
phase that promises to release the de-
PENDANTS. At the conclusion of the
argument of Morrison, Louis c. Kratu-
thoff, attorney for Armour, who ar
ranged the meeting between Garfield
and Arthur Meeker was called to the
stand to prove that Garfield had prom
ised immunity to the defendants pro-
viding they furnished the evidence
sought. Morrison then went into a
consultation with the packers lawyers.
Shortly afterwards it was announced
that the attorneys on both sides had
agreed to a private conference ito get
together on the facts,' in which event
they would submit the entire case to
attorneys for the packers believe that
they have won their case, declaring
that the courts position Indicating that
it disagreed with Morrison assures
them of victory

main county road. In the survey just
completed a hydraulic grade was Sc
cured sufficient to carry the propose
line over two high points above Dudley

necessity of excavating deep to carry
the line over these obstacles and main :
tain the proper levels.
The projected route carries the pipe
Mill creek, thus avoiding the dangers
from floods and also avoids the neces-
valuable property.

last long. The few operators along the

essential features of the minority re-

Panama canal, which is the one favor

lock canal at an elevation of S5 feet,
with flight of three locks on the
Colon side and two on the Panama
side. The cost is estimated at $147,-
000, 900 and will take seven and a half

Cow Bells Will
Still Ring,

City Council met Monday night at
its regular meeting. The general rou-
tine business was transacted Mayor
Harris called for new business. Coun-
Gilman L. T. Reid moved the body to
pass an ordinance prohibiting the run
ing at large of stock in the city limits,
explaining the city's right TO do so
under recent Legislative ruling. After
some discussion Councilman Barry sec
onded the motion. The vote was taken,
the motion defeated. Reid and Barry
voted for it and McCrscken, Hook, o.
Connell, and Fitch against it.
Reid was disgusted at the ordnance
not passing, stating it was a step back
wards in Cloverport S history to permit
the nuisance mentioned. He said he
knew of no town in the United States
of Cloverport s size that did not have
a stock law. Members of the council
opposing the measure claimed that they
could not get their "milk' if Reids'
motion was put into force.
Mayor Harris instructed the street
committee TO look into the matter of
securing rock to be crushed fol use on
the road leading into the city from the
Satterfeld place, and also the road from
the old "Short Line into town. The
city's crusher will be put into service
and the city intends to spend several
hundred dollars on these two roads.
Reid brought this matter before the
council and all favored it. 1t was sug-
gested that rock be bought of Mayor
Harris crusher, however, he did not
consider that matter, explaining that
he thought it would be cheaper fol- the
city to crush its own rock since it
owned a crusheI.
