Il have one rule for my family when
they travel" said the conductor of the
suburban train, land that is for them
never to ride in the rear coach or the
first one and, preferably, not in the
coach next to the last or first. The rea-
son for it is SO obvious that I should
think the foremost and last cars of a
train would have scant patronage from
anybody who reads of railroad acct
dents. If there is a smashup, those are
the coaches that suffer. 1t seems
strange that some kind of a buffer is
not put behind the locomotive tender
and at the rear of the train How
many lives would be saved by device
of the kind one has only to study the
statistics of railroad accidents to fig
ure out for himself" New York Press.

WORKING FOR PEACE
National officials Trying to Stave On
a Great Railway Strike-Situ-
alton Rather Uncertain.


Chicago. April Martin A. Knapp,
chairman of the interstate commerca
commission, and Charles 2. Neill. com
missioner of labor. who came to Chi
cago to try to effect a solution of the
controversy between the conductors
ana trainmen's organizations and the
railway managers, held series of con-
ferences yesterday. and last night, first
with one side and then with the other.
and at their conclusion Knapp said
that they were progressing. but that
nothing definite had been accomplish
ed thus far.
1t was said that the labor chiefs
had intimated to the commissioners;
that they were willing to concede
something from their original demands
In the interests of peace. The railroad
managers. on the other hand, are said
to have declared that they would grant
nothing more than they have already
offered their employees. They also say
that union pressure was used to obtain
the vote recently cast by the two UNI
ions. This the chiefs of the unions
deny. A joint conference is to be held
today between the managers. the un-
ion chiefs and the Washington officials.

The remarkable wisdom of the engineers who selected Katalla as terminus of railroad to the in
 terior is evidenced by the trouble the company is having landing it's first construction crew at that port. A number of men were sent North on the Saratoga to start con struction work. Their coming was heralded through press despatches and in Seattle papers, but when they reached Katalla it was impos- sible to land through the heavy surf, and they were brought to Valde> and reshipped on the Santa Clara, southbound. They may be able to land now, but it is more than likely that they will have to go back to Seattle and try it over again on another boat. The selec- tion of an inaccessible port for the terminus of trans-Alaskan rail road would seem to bear out the claims made in Washington that this particular company has no in- tention of building railroad at all !. out is merely making bluff.

 Final Report In
 The grand jury made it's final report at 1;3O today, and was dis missed,
 The report says 8 very small amount of business was presented for for action, ant only three indlct- ments were returned.
 The offices of the district at. torney, clerk of the court, U. 5 marshal and the municipal offices were examined ana the report speaks highly of the efficient and proper manner in which such off ces are conducted.
 Recommendation were made that number of improvements be made on the court house and jail, and that iron barred windows be put on the municipal jail.
 Attention was called to the ne- cessity for preventing the fishing companies from blocking the mouths of the salmon streams, and a special paragraph was devoted to the necessity for division of the Third judicial district, and tie appointment of judge and a full complement of court officials for the new district so formed.
 A special report was read regard ing the investigation by Charles T. Hutson into the official conduct of A. Holman, commissioner at Cop per Center, in which Hutson 'e- ported unfavorably to the commits sioner.
 The grand jury report was sub' stantially as follows:
 Hutson conducted his investiga- tion during the absence of Holman and made no attempt to secure a statement from said Holman, nor , allowed him to produce witnesses in I is behalf.
 Hutson made no attempt to se- cure the testimony of A. l.. Levy although reporting conversation reported to have been made by Levy which reft cted on Holman's character, although Levy would have testified that he made no such statements.
 No effort was made to secure tes-' timony of T. J. Meagher, a mater ial witness in behalf of Holman, nor was it stated that witness Ro- deen, prior to giving hls adverse testimony had been discharged by Holman, which was fact.
 That said report did not show that adverse witness John McCrary was a man of bad repute in the community, and that his reputa tion for truth and veracity was bad. which the jury finds to be a fact.
 That said report did not show there was no deputy marshal with in 100 miles of the Center, which Is a fact.
