Traffic Managers Will Slow Down
Passenger Trains.
FOR THE SAKE OF SAFETY
Lsnsthenins Of Schedules Will Also
Tend to Eliminate Fines Imposed byl
the Government For Delay Of Mail
Trains--New Postal Regulation.

CHICAGO, March 15.-PassengeI
traffic managers of all the western
lines met In the committee rooms OF
yesterday to discuss plans to reduce
the speed of passenger trains. Their
conclusions will be presented to the
officers Of the operating departments
and definite plan for concerted ac-
tion will be taken up at the next
meeting. 1t is probable that some OF
the accommodation trains which have
been operated at a loss, will be dis
continued.
The operating officials are unit in
the contention that the move is not
20 much an economic one as one of
safety. Lengthening of the time Of
passengers trains they believe will
decrease the number of accidents, and
also give the dispatchers increased
facility for movement of trains on
time.
A fine of 20 per cent of the mail train
earnings is imposed by the govern
ment for a delay of 80 minutes or
more. Under this rule, which went
into effect on July l, 1906, some of the
roads operating fast mail trains are
short about $4,000 for fines imposed,
some of which will be contested. 1t
is believed lengthening of the sched-
ules wifi enable the roads to escape
fines.
Another reason given for lengthen-
ing the time of trains carrying the
mails is the new division ordered by
the Postmaster General. The Post

PORTLAND, March l5.-Indications
are that break will occur in the ranks
Of the saw mill strikers between now
and the first Of the coming week. II is
stated that the enthusiasm which pre-
vailed during the first few days Of the
walkout is dying away and with no
payday in sight and no signs of a
break in the ranks Of the millowners, it
is asserted the men are losing faith and
will be ready in a few days to return
to work at the old wages.
Another damper on the strike Is the
withdrawal Of the moral support Of
the American Federation of Labor. I'm
til yesterday, when the local Fedora
ton was attacked by the I. W. W. the
strikers mad some sympathy from the
other unions Of the city. Yesterdays
attack has now alicnated this SYM
pathy.

taken up in discussing whether or not
this testimony was admissible and Mr.,

master General has ordered future
computation of payment for carrying
mails on basis OF seven days in
stead of six. This the railroads claim
is hardship. as the government does
not recognize services performed on
Sunday. and while the mail weight
will be computed on basis of to-
tai for seven days the pay win be on
a basis of six working days. 1t Is
probably the roads win contest
the ruling of the Postmaster General
as the basis of computation hereto
fore has been six days.

IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Commences Commission Meets With

WASHINGTON, March l5.--An I'M
portant conference. which is likely TO
have far reaching effect, was aeld
late today by members of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission and rep
resentatives Of coal operators and coal
miners organizations in southern Ili-
nois and Southern Indiana. As re-
suit OF the conference it is probable that
the Attorney General will be urged TO
institute prosecutions against the Of
ficials of coal carrying railroads al
legged to be violating the Sherman anti
trust act.

Now Quiet Certa|a That His Wishes
B|I|I be Needed and The Appeal
10 Supreme Court Withdrawn.
HE FEARS GOING TO THE ASYLUM
Convicted Wife Murderer Thoroughly
Recognizes That by Good Behavior
He Stands Chance of Securing Con.
dtiOnal Pardon at the Expiration Of
Five Years OF the Term.

According to the very best informa.
ton Julian pavinlc, convicted of muir.
derlng his Wife. will be allowed to
serve out his sentence of ten years II
the Virginia nonitcntniy. When the
Circuit Court meets IN November the
attorneys for the convicted Austrian
will likely inform Judge Blackstone
of their intention TO Withdraw the ap.
plication for an appeal ana have the
prisoner committed Immediately SO
that lie may begin his term In the
state prison.
SHORTY after The trial in witch PAY
linic wils given ten years In shc poni-
tertiary. tho Austrian stated that he
desired to 20 To Richmond ana TO at
once enter upon his term. He said
that he did not want his counsel to
appeal tho case TO the Supreme Court,
saying that he prctcrrcd the peniten-
tlary anytime to the insane asylum.
Pavlinic II is understood. Is well
aware of the fact that In tho event
he goes to the pcnitcntlary that by
good behavior he can secure n con.
dtional pardon at the expiration Of
five years. He believes that five years
behind the walls In Richmond are more
to be desired thnn II lifetime in the in
sane Asylum aud for this reason he
has insisted upon his attorneys drop.
ping tho case just whorcAt Is ut pres
cnt. Even should he secure a now
trial Pnvlinic recognizes that he will
either he given another pcnitnntinry
verdict or committed to the madhouso
He cannot possibly expect an acQuttnl
as the defense has been insanity and
he would naturally be held IN the asy
lum for many years. nS the experts
tctstiiicd that Pavlinic is Il hopeless
sufferer from paranOia.
Judge Edgar e. Montague. the lead
inc counsel for the accused man. had
little to say concerning the Intentions
of the defense last evening. Judge

market also. The town, as /
stated in the first recommenda-
tion, does not own any ground
upon which it could build; so it
behooves us to secure that also.
l think an arrangement could be
made by which the town could
secure the ground, both for a
town hall and police Jail and
waterwarks plant on easy terms.
3. The necessity for putting
in a permanent curbing of either
brick, stone or concrete along
our sidewalks, especially on Main,
Abel. Court and Jones streets, is
certainly great for the protection
of our sidewalks. With curbing
around the square on both sides
of the streets mentioned, the cost
of maintaining the grade and
drainage of the streets and side
walks would be minimized, then
il would be necessary to prohibit
the driving of teams and vehicles
over drainage bitches and side
walks. The expense of this work
will have to be borne by the
abutting property holders, under
the supervision of the town. l
therefore recommend that ordi-
nances to carry into effect these
recommendations be adopted.
4. The ordinance providing
for fire district and prescribing
the limits should be repealed and
a new ordinance adopted that
will be more comprehensive and
then be enforced.

However, the timber owners of
