E WHEELING, Dec. 29 MembersseI
The grievance committee Of the Broth
erhood Of Railroad Trainmen, on the
Baltimore and Ohio, win leave satur-
day and Sunday for Baltimore to at.
tend the annual wage conference With
General Manager Thomas Fitzgerald
and the other officials Of the road.
The members Of tie committee from
this section who will attend the meet.
Ing are Frank Riley, Of Nail City
Lodge No. 10; Thomas Kady, Of Ben.
wood lodge No. 10, and Patrick Mul.
kearns, Of Bridgeport No. SS1, all Of
whom will leave Sunday. The mem.
bers from the Newark and the other
western divisions will leave Saturday
and those from PItsburg will start
on Sunday. 1t is expected there will
be about fifty or sixty members Of the
general committee there.
The first meeting Of the conference
viii be held at the general offices Of
til Baltimore and Ohio on Monday,
and a sort of preliminary discussion
Of matters held during that day. There
will hardly be meeting of the con
ference on Tuesday but on Wednesday
the work will be taken up again and
will probably be one of the most i'm
rortant ever held in Baltimore as
there are many things to be arranged
and among them there will be a de-
mand for better hours and wages.
About the first Of March the con
tract under which.the members of the
Brotherhood have been working for
the ppst year will expire and 1t has
always been the custom for the Off
clals and the members of the grlev'
ance committee to get together and
talk the matter over, with the pu.'
pose in view of reaching an amlcable
agreement before that time. 1t is not
anticipated there will be any trouble
this year, and many seem to think the
conference meeting will be Of short
duration. Improvement of conditions
and Inc advance in wages are the prln'
clpal matters to be considered.

DISCLOSURES REGARDING JUDGE
cHETLAIN HAVE STIRRED
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Impeachment
proceedings against Circuit Court
Judge Arthur H. Chetlain are immi'
nent as a result of the iurist's refusal
to resign following a report by the
judiciary committee Of the Chicago
Bar Association. in which 1t was de-
cIared that, though no evidence OF
corruption was found, the Judges con-
duct had ben such as to impair his
usefulness on. the bench.
Members of the association say a
full Investigation was impossible be-
cause the lnquisitors we're powerless
to compel testimony, and that there
were more serious charges than those
dealt with in the report into which
this limitation made It impossible to
probe.
The impeachment proposition has al
ready been taken up with local mem
bers OF the Legislature and Represen'
tative Austin is authority for the
statement that If the charges are as
grave as reported he will bring the
matter before the next assembly.
One reason given for Judge Chef
lain's refusal to resign. Is the fact that
his salary of $4,000 yearly is hypo'
thecatcd for some time to come as Sc
curity for his debts.

THAN TRIAL TO
BREAK RECORD
3As IA PROMINENT CASE 1T WILL
be BRIEF If THE PRosEcU-
TON HAS ITS WAY.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-The rial OF
Harry X. Thaw for the murder OF
Stanford White promises to be the
shortest Of Its kind on record in the
criminal history OF New York. From
The moment the trial is opened, in
4 the later part of next month, there
VIII not be a second wasted by the
persecution.
An indication of how speedily Mr..
Jerome means to dispose Of the case
ii the fact that not more than half a
dozen witnesses will be called on the
direct examination by the District At
lsstorney II this number is exceeded It
Viii be by not more than two wit
nesses so that the total number call
Sed to prove the killing of White will
@be no more than eight.
Apart from the public interest in
the. case because of the prominence
Of the persons involved, it is exceed
tngly simple and commonplace. It is
ore Of those cases which almost try
themselves, because the facts are so
plain and beyond dispute. There is no
question that Thaw killed White and
no lisputing the fact that the killing
was deliberate.
For reasons suggested the direct
examination Of wttnesse called against
Tlaw will he brief and to the point,
M. Jerome. who will conduct the
prosecution in person, will proceed
with Tie presentation Of the case
against Thow as If that young man
was some onscure member OF the com
munity. The direct examination Of
Wltnesse for the prosecution will take
not more than single court day.
,The defense will naturally take more
time in crossexamination aud It will
he BIZ this that the trial will be length
ened. What the line of defense will
be has not been make known by coun-
sci for Thaw, but whatever 1t may be,
the District Attorney will cobalt ev-
cry fact developed that conflicts with
the story toldto the jury by the pros
ecation,s witnesses. 1t will be the
aim Of Mr.. Jerome to keep out Of the
case everything not having a direct
bearing upon the tragedy Itself.
