TOGO BACK TO WORK
END or THE LOUISVILLE TnAc-
 TI0N STRIKE.
Peace Negotiations fn Progress While Wild Riotfng Held PosseaAion of Streets-~CommerciaI Boafes
 Dfd Effective Service.

Louisville. Ky. March i4.-By a unanimous vote tonight the 500 strik- ing union employees of the Louisville Railway Company decided to accept the terms agreed upon by their execu- tive committe and the officers of the company
 All of the strikers will go hack to work and full service on the city and suburban lines operated by the com- pany will pe resumed by tomorrow noon. The strike began at o'clock last Sunday morning and caused a complete tie-up of all the company's lines while 1t lasted.
 The negotiations for peace were re. sumed this morning at the office of the company at Twelfth and Jefferson Streets while the widest riot that has occurred since the strike began was at its height only five blocks away.
 The roar of the mob and the occa- sional crack of . pistol could be plain fy heard at the offices and doubtless hastened the nsgotiations The con ference was participated in by Presi- dent Minerary of the railroad company, the executive committee representing the strikers and committes from the commercial bodies in the Greater Lou isyiIle Exposition.
 After a lengthy discussion the com mittee and the men came to terms con- QlLiOudA On G0eiT aIaIlHC4IlOu OY vote of the union. The terms to provide fok an increase from IS to 20 cents an hour for new men and 22 cents an hour for all employees after the first year: 25 cents an houw over time; at least thirty minutes for lunch; all strikers to be restored to their old position and an open shop for the company fin reference to the hiring of new men.
 The point of recognising the union a anfahffRffnpr a Hfrnfchf ahrr was conceded by the executive com mittee for the strikers who received in return the promise that the company win in future settle all differences be- tween 1t and employees through a per- manent arbitration committee appoint ed by the men.
 The terms were submitted to w. H. Mahon, president of the International Union of Street Railway Employes. who is III at local infirmary and he un- qualifiedlyi recommended their accep- tance.
 Tonight tn eterms were laid before a mass meeting of the union accom- panied by the favorable recommenda- tion of the committee. Voting on the proposition was not begun until 10 o'clock, however.
 The commercial bodies and direc- tors of the Greater Louisville exposi- tion. who in the main, forced the set- clement were greatly pleased with the terms as the settlement guaranteed full restoration of order and ear ser vice by the time the exposition is open ed donday by President Roosevelt at Washington.
 The car service today showed some improvement over yesterday. about forty cars being in operation with some show of regularity. These were stoned at number of points and some were put out of business entirely.

hostile attitude of the public to the railroad companies, and the dangers that Legislatures and Commissions throughout the country will reduce railway rates and diminish net earn ings. There is also . fear that a se- we're stringency in the money market may be impending. think these fears are greatly exaggerated.
 The people of the United States are not going to do injustice to the rail- way companies in the long run. or pursue course of action which would surely prove ruinous to the people themselves Unjust and unreasonable attacks by the sensational press and by politicians against the railway com pariies and against capital generally do not represent the sober sense of the people and will not prevail.
 The public investigation and crit fcism of railway companies and trusts has been going on for several years and fair-minded men must admit that there were grounds for criticism and that a halt has been called to some bus mess methods and tendencies which surely would have brought disaster in the end. It would be astonishing in- deed. If no hasty or mistaken legisla- tiol had been passed. but repeat. no injustice was Intended and no material injury has been done.
 Although money rates are high, do not anticipate any serious trouble. Business throughout the country is on a very safe and sound basis, manufact- urers and merchants are doing a large business requiring large capital, but they are not carrying large stocks which they cannot sell. Railroad earn ings throughout the West continue very large --Atchison earnings for the first week of March show an increase of over $300,0 0,0o0--and there Is enough bus mess in sight to tax all our facilities for months to come.
 Margins are Provided. The noteworthy feature of the site nation next to the extent of the de- cline itselg,' said F. A. Vanderlip, head of the National City Bank today "has been the resources shown by the hold CTS of stocks in promptly providing margins. The banking position tonight Is remarkable in the fact that the call for margins has been met with promptness by practically every bor- rower.
 The decline, therefore, would not seem to the the result either of a strln- gency in money or an impossibilfty to obtain credit because In spite of the great depression in prices borrowers are able to keep margins good. Demor- afization has been confined to the stock market. We see no signs of its extend- ing elsewhere.
 .sThe action of the Secretary of the Treasury is admirable and conservative. Certainly no one can criticize it, and the measure Of relief which it offers will be considerable, both in a sentt- mental an dactuai way"

 The whole affair was quietly planned after the capture and confession of the negroes during the day and was car- ried out without a hitch. The keys to the jail were taken from a police of- ficer at the point of a pistol

WALL STREET ALARMED.
Believes Legtnlasures Have Pat Cheek
 To Prosperity.

E0 Prosperity
 Chicago. March 14.--A dispatch to The Tribune from New York, says:
 Beyond the slightest doubt inner Wall street believes a cheek to general business has resulted from the rail- road situation and that this check wall grow more apparent.
 vEhe activity of state legislatures has aroused thoroughly the large rail- road interests of the country. Ths cost of borrowing money has been tf- creased ana there will be q marked reduction in expenditures.
 E 1T. HarTiman said yesterday in re- lpiy to | question as to what would De the effect on the general business of the withdrawal of the railroads from the iron and steel markets. said:
 'I wish to answer that question. have been asked 1t before
 Would a check to business be the worst thing that could happen7"
 Tt might not be an unmixed evil" Mn Hartman said The railroads now. have more business than they can handle. slowing up would mean the curtailment of expenditures, an in- crease in the surplus of the roads. It would mean also a lessened demand for labor and reduced demand for money. These in consequence, would become cheaper.
 sThere are three things entering Into railroad expenditures-the high rate of money. the cost of material, for it ia labor which produces materials and tho hire of labor. If more must be paid for the hlra of money then there must be reduction in the amount paid for the cost of material or the hire of la Dor.
 There Is so much money to be spent and the increased cost of one item means a decrease in the other two The railroads must hold net earnings, and as I have tried to make plain, the to- tai costs are bound to be distributed
 "A check to business Is of course better than full stop" Mir. Hartman to full stop will be measureably true of a slow up"
 When Mir. Hartman was asked for a solution of the national problem he said:
 We want the sherman anti-trust law repealed so far as it relates to the railroads. believe 1t was not intend. ed that its provision should embrace the railroads, It was so asserted at the time the measure was under dis cussion prior to it's enactment. What the railroads desire is that they be al- lowed to make agreements under the regulation and supervision of the gov- ernment This would allow the rsiI- roads to do ininterstate commerce bus mess.
 If rfeasonable rates and agreements approved under tho proper author Ittes of the national government could be inauguarted then legislation by states so far as 1t related to interstate traffic might become null and void. We believe that if that national gov. ernment should approve our rates as being reasonable the action would be reflected in the state legislatures.

 Deed Was Wrong. 

New York, March l4.--Answering precisely the same hypothetical ques- tion in response to what alienists or the defense declared that Harry K. Thaw was suffering from an unsound mind and did not know the nature and quality of his act when he shot ana killed Stanford White, Dr. Austin Flint. the first expert called today by District Attorney Jerome in rebuttal, declared 1t to be his opinion that Thaw positively did know the nature and quality. of his act and knew that the act was wrong. When court adjourned Mir. Deimas had not begun his cross examination of pr. Flint, who Is the first of six alienists to be called by Mir. Jerome
 After repeating to Dr. Flint the same question which Mir. Delmas put to the experts for the defense. and having him declare that Thaw was sane on the assumption of the facts stated therein. MT Jerome had read to the witness the prosecution's hypothetical question which contained some 15.000 words and which required one hour and eighteen minutes in the reading. Dr. Flint again said without qualification that Thaw knew his act was wrong and Is, therefore, liable for the murder in the first degree under the statutes of New York.
 MT. Delmas indicated that he would cross examine each expert searchingly. Mir Jeromes sanguine prophecy stnat the taking of testimony would ba ccn- c1uded tomorrow night has been a2af- doned and those concerned in the case again look to April i as the earliest moment of closing the iong drawn out trial.
 Jerome Plays Trick.
 Abraham Hummel was on the stand again today. and before Mir. Delmas could object to question put 10 him by Mir. Jerome, the witness had got into the record the statement ti.at Eve Iyn Eesbit had told him that she had informed Harry Thaw in Paris In 1903. that Stanford White positively had not aragged or betrayed her.
 Mr. pelmas at first moved to have the question and answer strickaa from the record. but as the DiStfics Attorney ser1ed about to consen. to this plea. the counsel for the defense insisted that the answer stand.
 Hummel's further testimony was halted until Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw again takes the stand to testify as to whether or not Hummel was acting as her attorney when she made the state- mepts to him which were afterward embodied nan affidavit. Both MT. Je- roms and Mir. Delmas were irritable to- day and had frequent clashes.
 It was reported tonight that District Attorney Jerome may be called to the witness stand in sur-rebuttal by the defense. The purpose it was said, was to question Mir. Jerome as to certain actions against Abraham Hummel. who was & witness today. This move was taken as a reason for the defense all lowing much of the Hummel testimony to stand today.

The Sanford Celery Crop.

H. H. C. says: "There will be about
400 to $50 cars of celery shipped from
Sanford this season. The newspaper
estimate of 600 cars is too high.
This estimate was caused by the new
planters, who overestimate They fig
ure more on what they desire than
what they will make. One practi-
cally new firm estimates $4,000 crates,
which is at least 10000 over what
they will actually ship. This over
estimating does not do us any good:
either, as it gives the buyer 200 cars
the advantage of us.
