BIG WAGE ADVANCES.
Railways of Chicago Will Make
 $25,ooo,ooo Increases.

Chicago, December 5.-The Tribune today says:
 The railways of Chicago contemplate making increases in the wages of their employees in the immediate future which, in the aggregate, will make all increases made on the railroads of the country in the recent past seem small by comparison. Advances are expected to be given between now and January l, which will make the combined in comes of the 450,000 employees of those lines from $25000,000 to $3O000,O00 greater in 1907 than in 1906.
 The only thing that may prevent the proposed advances between now and the end of the year is inability of the railroads and their trainmen to reach an amicable agreement. The engineers, conductors, firemen, brakemen and other trainmen have asked both for 10 per cent advances and for an eight hour day.
 Railway officials indicate that they are willing to give the 10 per cent in crease, but they are not willing to grant the demand for an eight-hour day, and their present disposition is to withhold the wage advance until the eight-hour day demand is withdrawn They believe the trainmen will yield after the ground for the denial of the eight-hour day is explained to them in conference, and then the wage ad- vances will speedily follow.

WOMAN WHO KILLED DIR, BUTLER AT HAZLEHURST, MISS, REPRE-. SENTED BY HER kINsMAN. SEN. AToR M'LAURlN.

Hazlehurst. Miss. December 5-The trial on charge of murder of Mrs An gie Birdsong, young member of one of the most prominent families in Nlissis- sppi, will begin tomorrow, the choosing of jury having been completed today.
 Mrs Birdsong shot and killed Dr. T. H. Butler, also member of a prominent family, and nephew of former Governor Longino of Mississippi, on November 25, l9O5 The shooting occurred in Dr But lers office in Monticello, Miss, where Mrs. Birdsong resided.
 The young woman went to the office, waited until a patient had completed his interview with the physician, and then entering pr. Buffers presence fired five shots. Going to the street she remarked to gathering crowd that they would find the result of her work upstairs in the doctors office, and she then sur rendered herself to the sheriff.
 Although admitting the shooting she has not let a line of defense become pub lie, and the interest in the case has been heightened by the subsequent indictment of her husband on charge of being an accessory. He is not, however, to be tried at the present term.
 A few days before the shooting Mrs. Birdsong attempted suicide At her pre- liminary hearing her mother-in- law test fled that the prisoner has experienced ex- treme mental agitation over rumors con- corning her character

Any Community Might Object.

Might not any community into which the war department should send this bat talion in which 1t is known that there are from nine to twenty murderers just ly complain that the battalion is not proper instrument for maintaining the supremacy of the law? Could we prop erly send such battalion to the Philip pines or Cuba to maintain peace or fur nish an example of orderly conduct? If a similar outbreak were there to occur, could we relieve ourselves from responsi- bility for 1t on the theory that we could not detect the particular ten or twenty who were guilty of the first murder?
 Suppose a dozen men of the battalion stationed at Fort Brown in time of war
