TO PREVENT
BIG STRIKE
Uncle Sam Asked to Force Arbitra.
tiOn on Railway Employees.
Erdman Act Provides for Settlement
of Labor Troubles Where Inter-
state Commerce is invoIved-im-
pending Strike Would Tie Up All
West Of Chicago.

Chicago, March 28.-The United
States government will be asked to in.
tervene to prevent strike of the con.
ductors and trainmen on the Western
railroads and, if the plans of the man
ayers do not miscarry, the whole mat
ter will be submitted to arbitration for
settlement. Late last night the general
managers gave out statement declar-
ing they will demand arbitration under
the Erdmann act. A strike of the men
would interfere with interstate com
merce. The railroad officials believe
they con prevent strike by asking the
government to step in and take COM
mand of the situation.
The Erdmann act passed in 1898 pro-
vides for the arbitration Of labor differ
ences, where interstate commerce is in
vOlved, by the chairman of the Inter
state Commerce commission and the
commissio ioner of labor.
The strike has been agreed upon al
ready by the railroad employees by ref
erendum vote. The officers were au-
thorzed to call the men out if the terms
put up tC the railroad managers were
not accepted. Determining the time
for the suspension to take effect is a
mere detail and that probably will be
decided today at a meeting of delegates
at the Sherman house.
The railroads involved are:
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, Atchi
son, Topeka x Santa Fe coast lines,
Burlington, Canadian Pacific, Canadian

TRIAL DRAGGING.
Juror in Hermann Case Drops Asleep
in Court Hours.

Washington, March 27.-That inter-
est in the trial Of Binger Hermann is
tagging was strikingly illustrated today,
when one OF the jurors fell asleep in
the midst of the testimony OF Harry C..
Robertson, formerly private secretary
to Senator Mitchell. The testimony
produced this week has not been start
ling, in fact it covers ground already
gone over By other witnesses, it being
the intention of District Attorney Baker
by preponderance of evidence to con-
vince the jury that Hermann had an
important motive in destroying his So
called private letter books. The testi-
mony, however, is largely technical and
uninteresting.
Mr.. Robertson's testimony today COW
cred the same ground as his testimony
in Portland. He showed the close rela-
tions that existed among Hermann,
Mitchell, Mays and Puter, testified as
to their correspondence regarding land
matters, since proven fraudulent, and
to that extent materially aided the
prosecution.
Had Mr.. Robertson been permitted
to tell extensively of his relations with
Hermann in 1S96-97, when the latter
WAS first in congress, he could have ma
terially offset some statements of those
who appeared as character witnesses
for the defendant. Before court opened
Mr.. Robertson talked freely with Dis
trict Attorney Baker about his relations
with Hermann while serving him as
private secretary and an attempt was
made TO bring out these facts, but OBJ
lection was made by counsel for the de-
fense, inasmuch as they had no direct
bearing on the case at bar, and the
court sustained the objection. For that
reason Mr.. Robertson's testimony was
robbed of considerable interest.

MORE DELEGATES TO BE SENT
Roosevelt to Strengthen Hague Mis-
sion-Date Still Uuoecid.d.

Washington, March 30.-President
Roosevelt has concluded to increase the
number OF American delegates to the
second Hague confer ence, proceeding
which will not have any effect, how
ever, upon the disposition of the var
ious projects that will be considered at
that gathering, because each nation
represented is entitled to hut one vote
But because OF the complexity and inn
portance Of the programme, it is felt
by the president that the American del.
egation should be enlarged to permit OF
a subdivision into committees if need
be.
When the announcement was made
last June of the intention to hold a
second conference, it was also stated
that American would be represented by
General Horace Porter, formerly am
bassador to France; Joseph H. Choat,
formerly ambassador to England, and
Judge U. M. Rose, Of Little Rock,
Ark, formerly president of the Ameri-
can Bar association. The president and
Secretary Root have already selected
the additional delegates, but it is not
deemed proper to announce the names
in advance of formal notice that the
second conference actually is to be held
For, Notwithstanding the fact that now
scarcely more than go days is to inter
vene between this date and the date
by the government of The
as suitable for the begin
ming of the conference at The Hague,
possibly through some oversight hte
formal invitations to the nations to par
ticipate have not been issued.

WRECK IN CALIFORNIA.
At Least Twenty-Six Persons Killed
and Hundred Hurt.


Cotton, CAL, March 29.-One of the
most disastrc us wrecks in the history
Of the Southern Pacific railroad occur
red one and one-half miles east Of this
town shortly after a o'clock yesterday
afternoon, when westbound train No. 8
from New Orleans for San Francisco
ran into an open switch, while going at
the rate of 40 miles an hour, and ten Of
the IA coaches were derailed with
frightful results. Twenty-six people
are known to have been killed and the
final list will total much higher than
this number. The injured number
about 100, many of whom are seriously
injured and will die.
The wrecked coaches were hurled in
every direction. Four of them were
smashed into splinters. Most of the
dead were Italians from New York and
New Orleans, going to San Francisco.
They occupied the smoker and day
coach.
But two Americans are known to
have been killed, although several of
those among the injured will undoubt-
edly die within the next few hours.
Out of 80 Pullman passengers, but
two sustained serious injury. The
three Pullman coaches and the diner,
which We're on the rear of the train,
did not leave the track. The occupants
of these cans were practically un-
harmed.
l.. r. Alvord, W. X. Davis and w.
G.. Gusenmeyer, members of the switch
ing crew who are accused of leaving the
switch open and causing the wreck,
were taken into custody and held in
bail of 81 600 by Coroner Van Wye.

GO AFTER POLICE NEXT.
Burns Anncuncemer Da hes Hopes
Of immunity.

San Francisco, March 26.-As soon
as the larger matters are disposed of,
the alleged corruption of the police de-
partment will be thoroughly delved in
to declares Detective Burns. The state
ment caused a stir among the officials,
who were disposed to think that in the
excitement over the corporation inves-
tigation, police matters were to be for
gotten.
So closely have their fortunes been
allied with those of the grafters that,
when the present crusade was begun
against dishonesty and corruption, Dis
trict Attorney Langdon, instead of re-
ceiving aid flom that body, has received
nothing but strenuous opposition.
