LABOR LEADERS ARRIVE.
Come Here to Appear Before Medi-
alton Commission.

The proposed conference of the board of
mediation. composed of Chairman Knapp
of the interstate commerce commission
and Commissioner of Labor Neill in con-
nection with the controversy between the
Southern Railway Company and its en-
ployes over a reduction of the latter's
wages, did not. had been expected,
take place yesterday. The failure to get
together. it is explained, was due to the
fact that Mr.. Knapp was too busily en-
gagged in the work of the interstate COM
merce commission to take up the matter.
Commissioner Neill asked Chairman
Knapp to decide upon the fixing of date
for the proposed conference, but no de-
csion was reached. The prospects now
are that the two will be unable to get to-
gether before Tuesday, Judge Knapp
will be occupied until then in preparing
an opinion on the nine-hour law, which
goes into effect March !.

FOR NEIGHBoRING RANGE.
Hints at Graft in the Provision.
Large Appropriations Knocked
Out of the Army Bill.

Representative Mann of Illinois. the
yesterday during consideration of that
paragraph in the army appropriation bill
appropriating s2JO.OO0 for the purchase OF
6,00O acres Of land, near this city for a
target range.
II am rather inclined to think" he re-
marked, sarcastically, in making point
of order against the appropriation, that
there has been undue temptation to some
body"
This gentle reference to the entertaining
game of graft pulled Representative
Young of Michigan to his feet for the pur-
pose of mentioning that Secretary of War
Taft was honest.
'If thought" replied Mr.. Mann, amid
laughter from both sides of the House.
that the Secretary of War himself would
have the time during the next fiscal year
to give personal attention to this matter
might feel somewhat differently" He
then mentioned that he knew there had
been lobby in support of the proposition
and that the land had already been
located where it was proposed to place
the range.
Mr.. Young denied this. but his denial
didn't do any good. as Mr.. Mann persisted
in his objection and the paragraph went
out on a point of order.
The efforts of Representative Tawney OF
Minnesota knocked about a million and
half out of the army bill day before
yesterday and a couple of million more
yesterday before the bill passed. Two
hundred and fifty thousand Of this was
for the extension and enlargement Of hos
pitals and $767. for the comp letion OF

Turned Down by Roosevelt.

Garrett was later a captain of Rangers
in Texas and did much to help make the
reputation for fearlessness which the
Texas rangers then had.
CARROTS bravery attracted the atten-
tion of President Roosevelt. who appointed
him customs collector at FL Paso in De-
cember. 1902. In 1905, during the re-
union of Rough Riders at San Antonio.
Roosevelt invited Garrett to meet him
there, and he dined with the President at
the fair grounds, but took Tom Powers, an
FL Paso saloonkeeper whon he introduced
as cattleman, with him. When the
President learned this he refused to re-
appoint Garrett.
Though a dead shot with either pistol
or rifle, Garrett was ordinarily one of the
most quiet and peaceabe citizens.
