almost wholly to the efforts OF Presi-

with the directors yesterday the latter

mands. AT the conclusion Of the ses-
sion the announcement was made that
the companies were prepared to treat
with their employees.
The men demand higher pay. shorter

roads have maintained that the con-
cession could not be granted without

BOSTON. Nov. 7-The last vestige
Of doubt that Walter f. Bakers death

the officers in making arrests to-day
or tomorrow.

when his brother said he had been in
formed that Walter wished to marry
Mrs. Frank H. Hurd. of Bogota, n. j..
when she was MISS Bray. of Jersey
City. Walter Baker died at the Hurd
home after being removed from

where he had become I'll.
Edward Baker also said to-day that
q month before Walters death, Wal
ter had told him If he would send his
boys to boarding school. he, Walter
would leave them the greater part oi
his fortune. The recollection Of this
offer has increased Edwards suspi-
cion regarding the win dated February

was waiting for Mr.. Jones to release
her goods. in which case she would
not have brought the charge. She
also gave as a reason for not having
him arrested sooner. that she was not
in the city but in Coatesville.

heard a sister of the prosecuting wit
ness tell Mr.. Jones that If he didn't re-
lease the goods her sister would make
trouble for him.
In his own defense Mr. Jones denied

threatened him with arrest to go
ahead and get as many lawyers as she
wanted. He said he had levied on the
woman's goods for S67.

the case said he could not see how
such thing as the woman charged
could have occurred in Mr.. Jones's Of
fee, which is on shipley street above

people passing all the time. He said
that if anything like what the woman
said was going on she could have
screamed and attracted attention in a

convinced that Mr.. Jones was incap-
able Of committing the offense charged
by the woman. In view of these cir
cumstances the judge dismissed the
