.BIG RAILROAD
CONVENTION
MUCH INTEREST SHOWN IN BIG
MEETING OF aAlLRoA0ERs
AT CUMBERLAND.

CUMBERLAND, Sept. 21.-The one
subject Of geenral discussion among
railroad men in South Cumberland
last night, was the big union meeting
Of railroad organizations which is to
begin in this city on Monday next. All
the railroad men are naturally inter.
.ested in this event and everyone pre-
diets a great congregation of dele
gates and spectators at all of the ex'
ercises. One circumstance that IS
causing some anxiety is the difficulty
that local B. and O. men are expert
eucing in arranging to be relieved
from duty during the convention. The
railroad is busy and needs all the men
upon its rolls for daily duty. More
than that the traffic is now growing
heavier every day aud the demand for
engines. cars and men takes the en-
tire available supply. Under these cir.
cumstapces it will be impossible for
all the members of the different broth
erhools who would lie to attend the
meeting to "get of" to do so. The
question is one that anuoys the rail-
road oficIals as well as the men In
the active train moving service, be-
cause the officials are disposed 10 do
all in their power to accommodate
those who wish to attend the meet.
ings. The increase in the demand for
men and equipment to move freight
has been promoted in the past few
weeks. This is due partly to the move
ment Of grain from the west, but chief
y to the enormous shipments of coal
from the Fairmont, W. Va, region.
Third division men stated yesterday
that the Fairmout yards were literally
blocked with trains Of coal. This, it
was explained. was partly due to the
fact that the great lake trade mas not
been fully supplied for the season as
yet and at the same time the u 7and
for coal in the east has been increas'
ed. From the Fairmont yards coal is
moved, in immense quantities, both
east and west.
Railroad men from all over the
United States and Canada are ex'
pected here for the big union meeting
Monday. A conductor on the Pitts
burg division of the B. end o. has re-
ported to the committee the sale Of
tickets for the bail to be held at the
park Tuesday evening. Many Of these
tickets have been sold to brotherhood
men far in the north and west, and
several sales are reported from Can.
ada and the conductor who made the
report stated that the purchasers IN.
tended using the tickets.

AMERICAN WITNESS ILL.
Robert c. Caldwell Who Is Under
 Bond, Will Make No Statement.

New York, December 30-Robert c. Caldwell whose testimony as a witness in the Druce case, led to the re-openlns of the grave of T. C. Druce today, Is now at the home of his daughter at New Brighton Staten Island. He is under s5OoO bond to answer to a charge of perjury preferred by the British author Ities in connection with the story he told in the London court. Caldwell was arrested when he arrived here from Flu rope, December 21
 Caldwelrs story of the alleged dual personality of the Duke of Portland was the real sensation of one of the most remarkable legal cases which ever en- gagged the attention of the British courts. The re-opening of the Druce grave was undertaken as a final effort of the gov ernment to prove the charge that Cald- wells testimony was "willful and cor rupt perjury" Caldwell's story was to the effect that the Duke of Portland and T. C. Druce. a London storekeeper. were one and the same. He had known the Duke of Portland under both names he said, and at the request of the duke had arranged a pretcnded death and mock funeral of Druce so that his dual personality could be buried. He swore that a coffin buried in High Gate ceme- tery and which was supposed to hold the body of T. C. Druce. in reality contained only 200 pounds of lead. It was this coffin that was exhumed today.
 Efforts to reach Caldwell at his home on Staten Island today were unavailing. His daughter declared that he was so i'll that his physician would permit no one to see him. His daughter was in formed that the grave of T. C. Druce had been found to contain the bones of human being but she declined to ask her father anything about the case.

JUDGE SETS FREE
 10 DEFENDAN! !S Indictments for Land Frauds zs Are Quashed
MANY ARE ST. LOUIS PEOPLE
Assistant Attorney General Declares That Case Will Be Taken To the supr@ne cs''st and tha Govern
 ment Will Continue Fight.

Denver. December 30.-In another sweeping decision. Judge Robert E. Lewis, in the UT ted States court, to- day freed IS defendants of the charge of illegally acquiring coal lands in Colorado under the dummy entry sys- ! tenn, and said that the whole theory on which the government has worked in the prosecution is wrong. All the in- dictments in land cases found by the federal grand jury last summer except one, have now been quashed by Judge Lewis. The indicated persons released from prosecution by Judge Lewis de- cision today are:
 Charles w. Haberbeck, MagAalena Haberbeck, Gustave Haberbeck Charles H. Dodge, Anna Dodge, Louis M Rum sey. Frank P. Fay, AmtCy Arie Keitel of St. Louis, Otis B. Sp~ncs- of Denver, Charles F. Herr Robert Forester, Viii liam Morrison, James Morrison, Frank Eldredge, George Coe, Franklin and Benjamin N. Freeman of Durango, and Walter S. Rice of Routt County, Col orado.
 The opinion of the court was founded on the case of the St. Louis people, who were members of company known as the Tampa Coal company Jnd were charged with obtaining five thousand acres of land In Routt county, valued at $500,000.
 Judge Lewis held that there is no law which makes It criminal for a citizen to agree in advance of an en. try of coal lands to sell to others, whether individuals or corporations, the land he might acquire.
 He said that section 3440 relating to conspiracy was inapplicable to these cases as 1t dealt only with pension mat ters and not with land transactions.
 Ernest Knaebel, assistant attorney general said tn cases would be taken to the United States supreme court by writ of error and would be entared in the docket there within 30 days.
 sGovernment agents will continue in- yestigating the alleged land frauds, it was unofficially announced until orders are received from Washington, calling a halt.

 '1 am confident that an amicable un- derstanding will be reached on this immigration questionable only one of any consequence that Is now aglatlng the people of the two countries,' said ambassador Aoki.
 q am certain that Japan will mak e honorable concession within bounds, and I feel equally confident that the American government VIII not insist upon anything unreasonable or that will in any way compromise the dignity or the h onor of the Japanese govern ment
 "I am certain Japan will make every tn ere is every reason in the world why both countries should have the most complete understanding and continue m the most amicable relations. Japan Is anxious to be at peace with the world and to no country does this apply with greater force than to the United States, to which In a large measure is due Japan's great rise and progress among the nations of the world. It will be my ca rnest effort to stlvance and strength en the existing friendly relations in every way that lies in my power"
 The ambassador and his wife left Washington on the Pennsylvania road at 5:45 D. m
