a NEW WITNESS FOUND.
She Has Known Thaw's Wife Init
nntely Since Childhood.

New York, Jan. 29-Mrs. ]. ]. Game
formerly a buyer for Boston whole
sale millinery house, may be one of the
principal witnesses in the Thaw trial.
Whether for the prosecution or defense
is not known. 1t Is stated that Mrs.
Caine knew Thaw's wife when, as
child. she lived with her mother and
brother in a single room in a West
Twenty-second street lodging house in
this city. She followed her movements
closely-so closely that when the young
woman and Harry Thaw were tempor-
arily separated after their return from
Europe in 1904, it was to Mrs. Game
that Evelyn turned for comfort and pro-
lection. Mrs. Game is said to have an
intimate knowledge of the clrcumstan-
ces surrounding the first meeting Of
Evelyn Nesbit and Stanford White and
their subsequent friendship. After the
marriage of Harry Thaw and Evelyn
Nesbit, Mrs. Game continued on friend
ly terms with them.

The small attendance this year is
due to two things; one is that no re-
duced rates were given on the rail-
roads; another is that this is the ''off
year" in politics. and not very many
free passes were sent out The latter
probably has more to do with it than
the former. A good many patriots
are getting so that they won't. go any
where unless the railroad furnishes
free pass. Another argument against
the anti-pass law.

PANAMA CANAL
 BIDS OPENED
Estimates of Cost and
 Reasonable Profit
But Four Competitors and Their Figures at Wide Variance.

Washington. Jan. 12.-PrOposals by
 the canal commission today for the en-
 tire construction of the Panama canal
 we're as low as had been expected by
 experts on canal construction work
 For some time it has been known that
 several members Of the commission be-
 lievcd that per cent on the estimated
 cost of construction would he a fair
 remuneration for the contractor under
 the form pr5 pared by the commission
 The lowest proposal was that of Wnt
 J. Oliver of Knoxville. Tenn. and Ar
 son NJ. Bangs of New York. who of
 ferrd 10 do tine work for CTS per cent
 on the estimated cost, which is tower
 than was expected. Granting that the
 estimate of S14O.OOO,OOO for the con-
 struction of the canal which has been freqUeDtly spoken of in congress. is accurate. the remuneration of the Oliv-
 er-Bangs combination would be s.
 450.o00. in case it was awarded the contract.
 Much discussion has been caused by
 the great difference in the only four bids received as they ranged from 6.75 10 2S per cent Oliver and Bangs have been in the contracting business many years and statements they furn- ished with their proposal show that they have done much important work. MT. Oliver states that he has Complet- cd SlS.10O,0O0 worth of work in ten years and now has $3l. l.5G0.OOO worth of work in progress. He gives his assets
 as S3.OGO.O0O. MT. Bangs gives his as
 sets as $2,O0O,0OO and states that he
 was contractor for the Soo Lock at Sault Ste Marie. the Michigan Della
 ware brcakwater and the Buffalo breakwater. the contract price for each of these being S2.5J0. .OO0
 The contracts provided that each | bidder shall undertake the entire work
 of construction. No bar was offered to corporations associating in the un- dertaking but they are required to be legally organized into a single body
 with which the government can deal. The commission did rot limit to Amer ican contractors the right to bid The actual work of constructing the canal | Is to begin in sixty days from the | signing of the contract and the con- tractors will take over all employees on
 the isthmus which the commission provided that no American employe is to work more than eight hours. There is no limit for the completion of the canal. The percentage system of pay ment Is adopted because this method is being employed increasingly by most successful COrpOratiOnS in the country

THf SECOND DOUMA
 Is BLING SELECTED

St. Petersburg. Jan. 12.-The cleo tOral campaign is in full swing. The meetings are limited to registered vot- CTS and according to the election law may be held without regard to party after the publication of the registra- tion lists. The social democrats and other radicals for the first time are now able to present their platforms to the voters. Social democratic orators have had marked success in St. Pet ersbUrg and Moscow. and the victory of this party in the two capitals is re- garded as certain. Politicians are able to predict little about the composition of the next parliament but there will be a strong and compact group of ex- treme radicals, social revolutionistS, toilers etc.
 These are pledged to obstructive tac- ties which threaten to wreck the plans of the constitutional democrats foI constructive legislation before locking horns with the administration on the question of a responsible ministry. When this takes place according to the reiterated declaration of Premier Stolypin. the parliament will be dis. solved and a revision of the election laws will be undertaken before a third body Is summoned. The coalition of constitutional democrats and moderate social democrats has received decisions of questions of principle but it is hung up on the subject of seats. Constitu- tional democrats of St Petersburg propose to retain four seats, giving one to the socialists and one to the workmen. The socialists insist upon tWO seats

ALI WESTERN ENGINEERS
 GtT SALARY INCREASE
It Will Aggregate s6,ooo,ooo and Will Affect Nearly 10000 Men From Canada to the Gulf

Chicago. Jan. 12.-After daily nego- tiations which have lasted several weeks the western railroads today de- cided to give locomotive engineers in creased wages aggregating between five and six millions annually. The in- crease will affect between I5.OOO and 20,000 engineers on all railroads west or Chicago to the Pacific coast. north to the Canadian border and south to the Gulf of Mexico. The negotiations were carried on between Chief w. $. Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomo- tive Engineers and one of the general managers.
 The advance will apply to all classes of engineers. On passenger lOcOmO- tives engineers will receive a five-cent increase of a hundred mile run. On freight engines the increase will range between and r. cents per hundred miles. In all the larger freight yards switch engineers will receive additions Of f iom 50 to a cents a day with the assurance they shall not be kept out more than twelve hours.
 Apparently a spirit of compromise governed the negotiations for the en- gineers practically agreed to give up their contention for an eight hour day. that is between an eight-hOUr day with respect to being credited with a run of 100 miles. and have abandoned their demands regarding pay for over time and they viii not insist on the original demand with regard to the sight competency of engineers. The switch engineers refused the allow ance for thei- time and One-half for over time in excess of two hours.
 This is the first time in railroad his tory that the demands of a labor or ganization have been considered by ali the railroads of a large territory. When the joint demand was first made the railroads refused to treat with the engineers as a whole. preferring to deal with them on each road. Chief Stone was firm. however. in his refusal to confer with the railroads except as whole The railroads finally agreed to appoint a committee. The settle ment would indicate that a new method of dealing with railroad dele Pations has been adopted. There are many details of the new wage sChed- I!r still to arrange and the negotia- tiols will last until next week.

HE FEAR OF THE LAW
 IMPLANTED IN MEXICO
There Will Not Soo- Again be Strike Attended by Riotins in the Orizaba District.

City of Mexico. Jan. 12-Late adyices from the Orizaba strike district are to the effect that 5.552 out of 7.OSS men who were out have returned to work. Swift punishment was inflicted upon the leaders in the late rioting Just how many men were executed is not known. but seven of the ringleaders witnesses.
 The shooting of the leaders. among whom were Rafael Moreno. vice presi- dent. and Manuel Juarez. secretary of the working mems organization. was dramatic. It occurred at 5:35 o'clock in the morning when thousands of half starved strikers had determined to re- turn to work. The factory whistles were blowing and throngs of men were about to enter the open doors when they saw a squad or soldiers leading Nthe condemned men to the ruins of stores that had been razed by the mob. Placing the men on the piles of snOuld- ering ruins the soldiers stepped back and the. volley that followed closed this dramatic chapter of the strike.
 The throngs of dazed wOrkmen who unwittingly witnessed the tragedy. waited until the smoke had cleared away and then entered the mill La ter a workman who apparently had been drinking came to the door and shouted death" Instantly he was fired on and killed by the soldiers. The executed men were speedily buried
 Great excitement prevailtd last night in Santa Rosa. Rio BlancO an NOgales when word was given out that all houses in those settlements would be searched for stolen goods.
