ridiculous. For President Roosevelt

Beatty said late last night. but have
not yet reached q conclusion. I fea.
that my official duties will prevent my
accepting the Office as the third mem
Der Of the arbitration board. I shall
answer Mr.. Heney and Father Yorke
tomorrow morning"
Francis J. Heney and Father Yorke
held their first meeting yesterday as
arbitrators Of the carmens grievances
with the United Railroads. They met
Al the Offices Of the street railroad
company al Oak and Broderick streets.
and the higher and lower ofhciaIs of
the United Railroads took it upon
themselves TO surround the proceedings
with an atmosphere Of deepest mys-
tery. even going to the length Of Civ
ing out misleading statements as TO
the place of the conference itself.
Personally believe these meetings
should be public" Heney said when
he had emerged from the inner office.
The public is concerned in this mat
ter as well as the carmen and the
railroads. No, an not a railroad
attorney. and am free TO say what
like. I told them plainly that if ]
served I would not take a retainer.
It is one thing to be q railroad at
torney and quite another thing to hold
the position Of q railroad arbitrator.

far in our meetings" Heney coutin-

not true that they had already selected
the third member Of the board and
were waiting FOR his acceptance be-
fore making the name public he re-
piled after q moments hesitation:

questions tonight. Here is the state
ment which Father Yorke has written
TO be given out to the press"
The statement was as follows:
M. Heney and Father Yorke met
twice today TO discuss the manner of
procedure in the arbitration case They
expect 10 report progress at an early
date"
After the afternoon meeting Heney
and Father Yorke went directly to
the Century Club building and were
closeted with the Chief Justice. Al
though they did not receive direct
answer from the Chief Justice IT was
evident that they hoped that he would
decide to accept the offer they had made
him Father Yorke's confidence Of be-
ing able TO report progress at an early
date" indicates that he hopes that Beat

The selection made by Heney and
Father Yorke at their first meeting
seems TO indicate that they are pro-

JESSE WOLF WILL DIE.
Young Man in County Home at Water
loo, Silent Concerning Relatives.

Special to mes-Republican.
Waterloo. April 24.-The physician
gives no hope for the recovery of Jesse
J. Wolfe, the young man who now lies
unconscious at the county home, and
who was picked UP the police, while
suffering from dysentry about two
weeks ago. Wolfe is unable to tell
anything about who his relatives are,
as he has been in an unconscious con-
dition for the past few days. He was
very reticent from the first, refusing
to tell anything about his previous his
tory to the police. He has said since
he was at the county home that he left
home when he was ten years years Of
age and that he has been away since
then. He is now twenty-one. He said
his mother lives at Winnebago City,
Mimi, but that he does not know where
his father resides. His father deserted
his family many years ago.
The police will endeavor to locate
the mother of the young man and 9TH
er relatives. The case is of such ma
ture as to puzzle the medical men and
it is likely a post-mortem examination
will be conducted If the patient dies.
