SAVED BY TRICK.
Revolutionists Used Oficial Cipher to
 Commute Death Sentence.

Odessa. Jan 1.-Six terrorists have been saved from the gallows by re- sourceful revolutionists here, who utilized the official cipher to hood- wink the governor general. The ter rorists had been tried and sentenced to death and were waiting execution when the governor general received a cipher telegram from St Petersburg. apparently bearing the signature of General Pavloff. the military procura- tor, conveying the emperor's order to commute the death sentences into hard labor for life. The order was officially ptt in force but the authori- ties have now ascertained that it was clever forgery on the part of revo- Iutionists who by some means ol,- tained access to the government pri- vate cole and successfully used it. According to the Russian law prison CTS cannot be executel once their sen tences have been officially commutei.

STRIKE FEARED
Railroads of inc Country Threat encd By Proposed Strike of
 Thousands of Bremen
IT MAY BE INVERTED

Chicago, Jan 7.-President Roose- welt took hand yesterday in the grave labor situation threatening the railroads of the country through the strike of firemen on the Southern Pa cific and caused a conference to be held at the Palmer houes at night, with the result that the controversy is in fair way to being settled.
 The meeting was held in the rooms of interstate commerce, Commissions Knapp and Clark who arrived from New York in the morning and lmme- diately set to work to bring the war ring chiefs of the railway brother hood together. At ? a. m. the meet ing was still in progress and the out look was for an all night session.
 Announcement was made by Mir Knapp at that hour that the pros poets were bright for peace. He said Chiefs Hannahan of the fire men. and Stone of the engineers prac- tically had agreed on a basis of set clement. under which the strikers on the Southern Pacific will go back to work tonight or tomorrow. The de- tails of the settlement. he said. will be worked out to-day.
 Mir Clark. it is said. consulted Pres ident Roosevelt by long distance tele- phone before he left New York. He carried with him the presidents wishes that everything should be done to patch up truce between tine engineers and firemen, and avert what threatened to become a general disturbance on the railroad of i'm mense consequence to commerce.
 Mir Clark also was said to be in communication with Charles F. Neill, of the labor bureau. who is in Texas endeavoring to arrange settlement in accordance with the presidents plans. e.
 Committees of firemen will arrive in the city to-day to prepare for the presentation of wage demands affect ing about 67OO0 men.
 With the arrival of the fremeu and the trainmen. and with the en- gineers already engaged in wage De- gotiations, one of the greatest wage conferences ever held in Chicago will open to-day. The total number of men whose incomes for tbe next year will be aeffcted by the outcome is in the neighborhood of 225,00O.
 Houston. Tex. Jan T.-The strike of $50 firemen on the Southern Pa .clfic railroad in Texas and Louisiana will probably end to-day. The ba~is of tentative settlement was reaeil- ed last night. 1t is said, during a con ference between yive Grand Master Shea. for the firemen. and Vice Grand Master Wills. for the engineers. The railway officers had no part in the final conclusion of the trouble. It is said that the flremen's brotherhood receded from the demands made when the strike was declared and the engineers promised to protect those engineers of the firemen's organlza- tion who left their places.
 It was reported last night that an agreement covering this basis of set tlement had been signed by the off cers of tae two brotherhoods and that the firemen would go back to work at noon to-day, pending the solution of their seniority by the committee of the locomotive eugl- neers.

TWO OLD SUGAR
CORPORATIONS
Pacific Mill and HonOkaa Ask
for Amendments to
Charters.

Pacific Sugar Mill, Ltd, and Honokaa
Sugar Co., Ltd, each by F. A. Schaefer,
president, and J. w. Waldron, secre-
tary, have fled applications for amend
ments to their charters. The purposes
mentioned as sought to be made those
of the corporations are identical, being
simply more enlarged powers of cult
waiting and manufacturing sugar, also
of dealing with property and handling
| irrigation and transportation matters,
The petitions give some history of the
companies.
Honokaa Sugar Co. obtained its first
charter on May s, 1873. On May s.
| 1898, the charter was renewed for fifty
years. On December 10, 1896, the
| charter was amended so that the CAPT
| tai stock might be increased from
| 100000 to 100000. Another amend
ment was made on August %, 1898, so
that the company hight handle prop
erty, real and personal, not exceeding
one million dollars in value with a
capital stock of the same amount. April
q, 1899, the charter was further
amended to give a property control
of three million with capital of two
million dollars and the power to in
crease the latter by another million.
At special meeting on July II, 1907,
when the whole of the $2,0O0,000 of
capital was represented, a resolution
was unanimously adopted to apply for
the amendment of the charter now
proposed.
Pacific Sugar Mill s original charter
was obtained August 10, 1879. On
January %, 1890, by an amendment
the capital was increased from 100000
to 100000. May 81, 1898, an amend
ment was made so that the company
might hold, purchase, convey, mortgage
and lease real and personal property
not exceeding in value at any one time
81 100000 with a capital stock of $780,
600. At a meeting on July u, 1907,
the whole of the capital stock of $780,
900 being represented, the company
unanimously resolved to take steps for
securing an amendment of charter as
already mentioned.
These amended charters give the COM
panies power to contract with other
planters Tor sugar cane. sugar beets and
other agricultural products, to do the
milling for others, to buy and sell cane.
beets, ETC., as well as to raise all such
raw material for themselves.
