CHANLER CANNOT
 LEAVE VIRGINIA
ADJUDGED INSANE IN STATE OF NEW YORK, HE CANNOT GET CONTROL ot HIS PROPERTY. SANE IN VIRGINIA.

New York August 7.--John Armstrong Chanler, the wealthy New Yorker who escaped from an insane asylum in this state several years ago, and fleeing to Virginia, where the courts declared hltn sane, comes back to New York to pros ecute a suit he has instituted to get con trol of his property, he will do so at the risk of being re-incarcerated as a lunatie. according to a decision by Judge Hough in tho United States circuit court today.
 Chanler, who Is the divorced husband of Amelia Rives, the authoress, was ad- judged insane by the supreme court in this city and committed to an asylum. Thomas T. Sherman was appointed as T committee to take charge of Chanler and his estate. Later Chanler escaped to Vir- ginia. He invoked the aid of the courts, which declared him sane and competent to haye control of his property. The lat ter, however, being still in possession ce the supreme court committee of thig state, MT. Chanler brought suit in the federal court of this district to force Mir. Sherman to restore II to him. Fearing that if he returned to prosecute his ac- ton he would be seized and again re- handed to the insane asylum, MT. Chap- Ter through counsel last week petitioned Judge Hough to grant an order restrain . ing the supreme court and its officers from interfering with him should he ap- pear in New York.

RAILWAY WORKERS
 WANT BETTER PAY
Representatives of 10000 Men
 Meet in Conference
STRIKE TALK IS AVOIDED
Some of the Men Claim That They Have to Work Twelve Instead of Ten Hours a Day-offi-
 cias Are Surprised.

New York, August 7.--The Times to- morrow will say;
 Representatives of upwards of 41 1000 organized railroad workers. employed on the great railroads of the eastern half of the country, have been in secret session for ten days or more at Cam bridge Springs, Pa, discussing various plans of obtaining a readjustment of the wage sch edules under which they have been working.
 Those represented at the meetings at various times have been the conductors, firemen, brakemen. wardmen, switch men and telegraphers. The engineers were not represented.
 The roads involved in the present agitation are the Pennsylvania, the New York Central and allied lines, the New York, New Haven and Hartford, the Central Railroad of Now Jersey, the Lake Erie and Western, the Buff falo, Koch ester and Pttsburg. the Del I aware, the Hudson, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Boston and Albany, and the Chesapeake and Ohio.
 Many of the grievances are local and it Is believed are capable of easy ad- justment. Strike talk or radical meas ures of any sort, have been furthest 1 from the thoughts of the trainmen in all the organizations represented. It was said on behalf of the firemen's brotherh ood that many of the firemen had not obtained any increase in wages as the result of the conferences held here last year.
 l The grievances of the conductors are that many of them are still compelled { to work twelve hours day, when a ten-hour day was promised. The switchmen and other railroad workers declare that a substantial increase ought to be granted to them, In view of the great increase in the cost of l living.
 Great surprise was expressed by rail- road officials in this city yesterday mand was to be presented to them for more wages.
 Several officials said they were not | in a position to comment on the mat ter except that coming so soon after the settlement of last winter, when the wages of employees on more than eighty railroads in the United States were increased adding to the pay of nearly 400 ,000 men nearly $60,000,000, 1t was unlikely that public opinion which forced the last increase, would support this latest demand.

SAYS HE'LL
 REACH THE POLE
Explorer Explains Why He
 Failed Last Time
NEW ROUTE TO BE TAKEN
More Precautions Will Be Taken This Trip and Expedition VIII Profit Greatly By PaA Ex-
 perienees.

New York, August 7,-"Unless old mother Nature plays a new trump card this time" said Commander Robert F. Peary today, "I will certainly reach rne pole on this trip, assuming I retain my health. My equipment will be the same as on the last trip, my plans essentially lhe same, but I will profit by the lessons of that trip.
 Last time we would have reached the pole but for the easterly Ice drifts. This time we shall take advantage of the drift. Last trip, I left Grantland and Cape Morse This time we shall go far ther west by leaving Cape Columbia and instead of heading directly north will head northwest thus getting tho benefit of the easterly drift, of which nothing was known on our last expedition.
 Another thing, I will have a stronger advance party than on the last trip. so that when we get ready for the final dash there will be sleds and supplies enough to last some time. Last time there was not enough to load five sleds. The party will also be more compact and therefore safer when storms come up.
 "It would be improper, however. to say that I intend to use the drift method as has been stated. What is intended is that as we progress north we shall drift towards our destination and not off 1t. That Is the sole reason why a new course has been mapped out. The Roosevelt will winter in about the same place as on the last trip, and the personnel of the party will be the same with the excep- tion of new surgeon. The crew will be New Foundlanders.

Prominent Citizen of Chattanooga Re-
 celves Severe Blow.

Chattanooga, August 7--Considera- ble excitement was created at Olympia Park this afternoon when T. g. Will COX, chairman of the board of public safety, was assaulted by John Hol- land, special deputy In the employ of the Chattanooga Railways company. It appears that the assault grew out of an attempt by T. s. Wilcox to prevent the arrest of Will McKendrick, a young horseman of Nashville. who was at tho time a companion of MT. Wilcox.
 The incident occurred near the grand stand about time for tn afternoon race programme to open. Holland was ar rested soon after by Chief of Police Mosely, who took the formers club and revolver and ordered him to appear at police court.
 Chairman Wilcox received a painful cut over the eye, but is not seriously in- jured.

 Grie rance committees of the Denver and Rio Grande and other railroads are in the city, and they will make a de- mand for an additional cents an hour for yardmen. If this Is done it will either end the present strike or cause it to spread to other roads. Every railroad in the west Is threatened.

MAGNATES NEED
 JAIL SENTENCE
Attorney General Bonaparte
 Aims at Prosecution
AZ TER HIGHER OFFICIALS
MT. 5onaparte Says the Government Will Not Prosecute Underinqs, But Will Tackle Presi-
 dents of Concerns.

New. York, August IA special dis patch to the Times from Lenox Mass, says:
 That criminal prosecutions will be un- dertaken in the near future as a result of the interstate commerce commission investigation of the Hartman railroad system, was the information received on authority this afternoon. on the virtual eve of the return of Attorney General Bonaparte to Washington.
 MT. Bonaparte was asked if action per sonally against individuals would be in- cluded in the prosecutions. He replied:
 'I have noticed a good many com plaints that criminal prosecutions against trust magnates and sentences of imprls- onmenr for them have been very infre- quent and in fact for practical purposes unknown. It is perfectly true that in my opinion at least, better moral ef feet would be produced by sending a few prominent nen to jail than by a great deal of litigation. however sue eessful against the corporations they represent.
  their respective presidents were indicted Jointly for violation of the antitrust law If the corporations were guilty of such, it would be hard for the lay mind, at least, to understand how their presi- dents could be involved. Nevertheless the presidents have been acquitted at various times.
 .'The department of justice will continue to prosecute any one who Is really re- sponsible for violations of the antitrust law, wherever It can do so with any reasonable possibility of success. It does not care to prosecute underlings, who are known to every one to have acted under the direction of their superors. But where a case against any of the superiors such as justifies a reasonable hope on the part of experienced lawyers that he can be punished personally, the depart ment will unquestionably take advantage of the opportunity as soon as 1t is pre- sented."
