HoLD-UP MAYOR.
Milwaukee Executives Presence of
 Mind Saves HIS Purse.

Milwaukee Executives Presence of
 Mind Saves Ills Purse.
 Milwaukee. Wis, Aug. IA bold at- tempt was made last night on the White Fish Bay Road to hold up Mayor Sherburn M. Becker. The Mayor and his chauffeur were speeding along sn- tent only on reaching the club where the Mayor had an engagement. Sud- denly a short distance ahead & light was swung back and forth across the road.
 The Mayor. who was driving. shut off power and put on the brakes, think ing that some accident had happened or there was break in the road. When he had brought his automobile to a halt and was ready to jump out to sac what the matter was. he found himself looking into the muzzie of q revolver. A voice from the darkness said:
 Now, then, turn over whatever you have with you, and do it quick.
 Mayor Becker, though startled at the sudden demand. reached up and pulled back his coat showing his star and saying:
 This is all have with me just now"
 The highwayman took glance at the gold star and evidently thinking they had held up a police officer, ahut off their light and made jump for the fence on the side of the road, dis- appearing quickly. Detectives were sent out at once, but no trace of the hold-up men has been found.

MEETING IN SECRET
ORGANIZED RAILROAD WORKERS
 DISCUSS WAGE SCHEDULES.
Great Surprise Expressed by Railroad Officials On Hearing that Demand for Raise was to be
 Presented.

New York. August 7.-The Times tomorrow will say:
 Reports of upwards of 41,0oo organ ized railroad workers employed on the great railroads of the eastern half of the country have been in secret ses- sion for ten days or more at cam bridge Springs. Pa, discussing various plans for obtaining a re-adjustment or the wage schedules under which they
 have been working.
 Those represented at the meetings at various times have been the con l ductors, firemen, brakemen, yard men, switchmen and telegraphers. Ihe | engineers were not represented. The | roads involved in the present agitation are the Pennsylvania. the New York Central and allied lines. the New York, New Haven and Hartford; the Central Railroad of New Jersey, the Lake Erie and Western; the Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg, the Delaware and Hud-
 son, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Bos- ton and Albany and the Chesapeake | and Ohio. Many of the grievances are local and 1t Is believed are capable | of easy adjustment.
 Strike talk or radical measures of any sort have been furthest from the | thoughts of the trainmen in all the organizations represented. It was said
 by the firemen's brotherhood that many l of the firemen had not obtained any ] increase in wages as a result of the | conferences held here last year. The grievances of the conductors are
 that many of them are still compelled | to work twelve hours ,day when a
 ten hour day was promised. The i switchmen and other railroad workers
 declare that substantial Increase ought to be granted to them in view of the great increase in the cost of | living.
 Great surprise was expressed by the
 railroad officials when they heard that another formal demand was to be pre-
 sented to them for more wages. Sev-
 erai officers said they were not in a
 position to comment upon the matter
 except that coming so soon after the | settlement of last winter when the
 wages of employees on more tban eighty railroads In the United States were increased. adding to The pay of
 nearly 100000 men nearly $6o. .OO0. 900.
 it's was unlikely that pubrfc opinion.
 which forced the last increase would
 support this latest demand.

After the somewhat frivolous ses- sion of the House yesterday afternoon a surprise was sprung on the House last evening. There were present more members than have ever appeared at a night session on any other occas- ion this summer. The gallery was packed with people who had gathered with the expectation that all the pro- ceedings would be in a humorous vein. as has been the general custom in closing sessions of the past There was scarcely a member of the House who believed that there would be in- troduced topic that was at all se- rious and that there would be one that bordered on the sensational was far thest from the thoughts.
 Yes, it came. Like lightning from clear sky, like the sudden eruption of volcano, the House was suddenly confronted with a proposition that called for careful consideration, and every member forgot the frivolity of the moment before and settled in his place to carefully follow the develop ments.
 The cause of this was a charge that the rules committee of the House had been partial and that it had held up measures which ought to have come to the attention of the House, because those measures were not popular with certain members of that committee.
 The trouble started when MT. Hoff- man wanted 1t to go on the House journal that measures for the settle ment of questions regarding the swamp and overflow lands difficulty had been deliberately held up in committee. He called his resolution one of protest and asked that the protest be enter ed on the journal.
 A battle royal was instantly on be- tween MT. Jenkins of Baldwin. and Mir John of Jefferson, the latter be- ing the senior member of the commit tee on rules. MT. Jenkines declared that
