MACHINISTS WIN INCREASE
Arbitrator of Southern Strike Agree
to Raise of Two Cents an Hour.
Exception Made as 10 MachiHists Mt
sheffield and birmingham, Where
Pay Is One-half Cent Less.

All machinists employed by the South
ern Railway are to receive the increase
in wages for which they have been fight
ing for several months past, and for
which they went on strike October S.
Men over the entire system excepting
Birmingham and Sheffield, Ala, viii re-
ceive an increase Of two cents an hour
The men at the two named places viii
receive an increase Of but one and half
cents This difference is due to the fact
that the other railroads in the two cities
pay but b cents an hour and the 11a-Cent
advance viii place the Southern men on
par with them. All apprentices will
receive an increase of cent an hour.
This is the result OF the arbitration
agreed 20 on November s. when the men
returned 10 work, pending a settlement
II is said that ex-Mayor Lowe, OF New
York. persuaded the late President Sam
uel Spencer. Of the Southern, 20 arbitrate
with the strikers. President Spencer Sc
lected Attorney Alfred = Thorn. general
counsel Of the road. 10 represent the
Southern, and the machinists selected p
J. Conlon as their representative. Il
was agreed upon that Judge George Gray.
of New Jersey. should act as umpire His
services were not necessary, however,
as Messrs- Conlon and Thorn agreed 20
the settlement.
The increase Is operative from Septem-

WATCHMEN STAND PAT
Association Goes on Record Against
"Roaming" Commissions.

Night watchmen of the local Night
Watchmen's Association viii not cover
any territory or watch any property not
covered in their original beats They
pledged themselves to their patrons to
this effect in a resolution passed at the
regular meeting in Schmidts Han.
The committee that waited on the
Commissioners several weeks ago pre-
scented its report 1t was set forth that
the Commissioners. for the first time IN
the history OF the Metropolitan police
department. were favoring "a roaming
commission for night watchmen, but that
the association could see no reason for
the men wanting police authority 20 prac-
tcally cover any or all parts of the city
The roaming" proposition is favored
by the Washington Patrol Company. but
is bitterly opposed by the Night Watch
mems Association. There was an open
fight between them on this score several
months ago

TWO TRIAL BOARDS NEEDED
Commissioner West Wants to Expe-
dite Hearing Against Police.
Speedy Disposition Of Cases Would
Improve the Discipline of the
Department.

As the result of the delay of the police
trial board in reaching conclusions in the
cases presented to them. Commissioner
West yesterday requested Mai. Sylvester
to devise some plan whereby the trials
Of police officers can be expedited.
In a report submitted to the Commits
sioners by the superintendent Of the
police it is shown that on December Is,
there We're forty-three cases pending for
various reasons. Prominent among these
are the cases Of Capt W. c. Mathews and
Lieut. J. r MuIhall, against whom
charges were preferred October Z, Of
violating the police manual at the scene
Of the death Of Engineer Hugh Murphy,
Of the Southern Railway, who was
crushed to death by the overturning Of an
engine at Sixth street and Maryland ave
nue. southwest, on September II last. The
case OF Private J. B. Lipscomb. charged
with shooting Daniel Boyle July %, 1906,
against whom charges were preferred Oc-
tober 10. is also awaiting decision.
In reference TO the subject Commits
sioncr West said yesterday: MANY Of
these cases have been pending for weeks
and even months. The value OF these
trials in improving the discipline must
consist largely in prompt disposition Of
the cases. Il might be possible 90 secure
a betterment Of present conditions by ap-
pointing two trial boards-One to deal
entirely with infractions of police disci-
pine and which could be settled without
verbatim reports of testimony while the
other board could undertake the iuves-
tigdtiOn Of more serious allegations
against the officers.
1T Is also noticed that the testimony
taken is frequently verbose and even IT.
relevant The force Of stenographers at
police headquarters is small and crowded
with routine work OF the department. 50
that where verbatim reports Of trials are
taken there is necessary delay In tran

buttons of Board OF Trade.

The establishment of public bath houses
in Washington. as recently recommended
in a resolution adopted by the board of
trade. was yesterday Endorsed by Engi-
neer Commissioner Biddle, who said the
Commissioners are in favor OF the project,
for which figures win be included in their
next estimates TO Congress.
In a letter to the Commissioners, Gen.
John NJ. Wilson, president OF the board
Of trade. urges the necessity of such
baths, and requests that the officials lose
no time in securing q sufficient appropria-
ton for their establishment and mainte-
nance Commissioner Macfarland also de-
clared himself to be thoroughly in accord
with Commissioners West and Biddle re-
garding the proposition.
The Commissioners have on several
occasions asked Congress for an appro-
priation for such a purpose" said Mr.
Macfarland. Now that it is meeting
with the Endorsement of the board of
trade and other organizations. we hope
20 be successful in securing the neces-
sary amount which will be included in

Therefore. when the bill OF DR.. Chan

Doing Evcrything in Power.

At the same time the President teIe-
Craphed to the governor Of California as
follows.
Telegram received Am doing every
thing in my power i'm matter Break is
on Mexican soil. and we have absolutely
80 power 10 90 anything until permission
is granted by Mexico. We are hUrrying
forward in every way the negotiations
tor such permission. Until it is granted
Congress cannot act / have notified the
California Development Company that il
is its clear duty TO act as II has the
power. and as the entire damage arises
from the work which il began on Mexican
soil outside the jurisdiction Of the United
States in October. 1904 1t Is the clear
duty Of the California Development Com
pdny to meet the immediate danger. Then
this government will take up with the
company as we'll as with Mexico. the
question Of the permanent protection OF
our people"
The necessary negotiations with Mexico,
looking toward action by Congress. seem
likely TO succeed. as indicated by a letter
addressed to Director WalcOtt. Of the
Geological Survey, by the President.
Denies Responsibility.
Last evening the President received the
following reply from Mr.. Hartman:
The President. Washington. .. G..
Replying to your telegram Of this date,
YOU seem TO be under the impression
that the California Development Com
pany IS a Southern Pacific enterprise.
This Is erroneous. It had nothing to do
with its work or the opening of the canal
We are not interested in its stock, and in
no way control it. We have loaned It
some money to assist IN dealing with the
situation. What the Southern Pacific Com
pany has done was for the protection Of
the settlers as we'll as Of its tracks but
we have determined 10 move the tracks
on to higher ground anyway. However,
in view of your message I am giving au-
thOTity to the Southern Pacific officers in
the West TO proceed at once with efforts
20 repair the break, trusting that the gov
eminent, as soon as YOU can procure
the necessary Congressional action, will
assist US with the burden.
E II HARTMAN
Roosevelt Wires: "Am Delighted"
The President then sent the following:
Mr. E. II. Hartman, 30 Broadway,
New York, n. y;
Am delighted to receive your telegram.
Have at once directed the Reclamation
Service TO get into touch with you so that
as soon as Congress reassembles / can
recommend legislation which will provide
against "a repetition of the disaster and
make provision for the equitable distri-
button Of the burden.
