OpPOSE PORT CHESTER ROiD.
labor Wen Think That It's Franchise should
lie Revoked.

The Holsesmiths and B%rdgemen's Union
made a complaint to the Central Federated
Union Yesterday that while il was originally
supposed that the New York and Port
Chester Railroad. the franchise for which
the E.. +. L. had once indorsed, was to be a
road with the New York, New
Haven aud Hartford Railroad, the latter
had acquired the franchise.
Delegate Green Of the housesmiths'
Union said that non-union men were EN-
ploypd on construction work for both roads
who were brought from other cities and
sometimes from other States. sOme Of
whom were not even citizens.
We were lurpd into the belief, said Dele-
gate McConville Of the Safety Engineers
mon, that the Port Chester road was to bea
competitor with the New York, New Haven
aud Hartford. On this representation, after
comforting with officials Of the Port Chester
ROAD We pledged ourselves 10 support the
application for the franchise
The following resolution was then passed.
THAT We hereby request the Board Of
Estimate and AppOrtiOnment to take the
necessary action To forfeit or cause TO I've
forfeited oil the rights Of the New York and
Port Chester Railroad Company and that a

Lewis Emery, Jr., Il former candidate
for Congress on IA. D,tuDcTdllc ticket
and the last Democratic candidate for

BELMONT EMPLOYEE MTRDERED.
Austrian shot Near August IIelmOnt's
stock Farm on Long island.

BABYLON, J.. l., May iO.-J. Douglo2, an
Austrian employed on the stock farm N
August Belmont, a few miles north Of this
village, was shot and killed a little before
midnight last night. The police have under
arrest August Ruzor, also an Austrian, but
il il MOI thought he did the murder.
Yesterday was pay day at the farm and
Duuglo2 and Ruzor came to the village
last night to make purchases, The story
told bv Ruzor is that as they were walking
toward the farm in a lonely place where
woods skirt the road a man stopped them
and demanded money and then fired a shot.
,Ruzor fed and reached the farm in a
highly excited state. He cannot talk much
English and what little he knew he forgot
and failed 10 make any Of the men he met
there understand what had happened.
Finally as day was breaking George Schwitz-
enberger, the night Waterman at the farm,
consented to accompany Ruzor, which II
had become evident he wanted some one
TO do. They came upon DougloZ's body
with a ~ calibre bullet wound in the left
breast. There was b vt a small amount
of money on the body and Il appeared that
the rest had been stolen,
Coroner Savage ordered the arrest Of
Ruzor TO make certain his presence at the
inquest. Assistant District Attorney Blue
has taken charge Of the case.

TELEGRAPH CONFERENCE

Gov ernlng lhe Use OF Oues.
WASHINGTON, May lO.-1he International
Telegraph Conference is in session at Lis
bon, Portugal, TO revise regulations govern
ing the use Of telegraphic codes. This
conference meets every five years, The
regulations for the use Of codes are Of the
highest importance TO the commercial
interests. There was disposition manifested
on the part Of telegraph companies to secure
revision that would limit the use Of code
words as provided for by the London con.
ference Of 1909, and this was a matter Of
great concern to business men through
out the world. On the request Of CONNER
cial bodies in this country the Department
Of State appointed Charles Page Bryan
American Minister 10 Lisbon, and the
Department Of Commerce and Labor ap-
pointed Special Agent Roland X. Dennis
10 attend the conference on behalf Of this
country. The following cable despatch
has been received from MIR Dennis by
John A. Carson, chief Of the bureau u
manufactures.
Tone Of the conference is not strongly
antagonistic to The large majority Of eN-
isting code regulations. There Is a feeling
10 pre- vent the i've Of un~prOnOunCeable
combinations Of letters now being sup
piled by code makers. The British post
