HAPPENED TO BE
IN CALIFORNIA
No Conference Between E. H.
Hartman and His Lieuten-
ants Has Taken Place.

Pasadena, Cal, March 16.-With the
scattering of nearly all of the railway
men who have paid their respects to
f. H. Hartman since his arrival here
Sunday last, weight has been given to
Mr.. Harriman's denial of the report
that there was to be an important con-
ference between him and his lieuten-
ants here, and that among it's results
would be several changes in the heads
of departments of the Hartman sys-
tenn.
Julius Kruttschnitt, director of MAIN
tenance and operation of the system,
left tonight for Chicago, and W. z.
Herrin, general counsel of the South
eTn Pacific, is already back in his San
Francisco office.
J. T. Harahan, president of the I'LL
nois Central, says that the story that
he is to be sent to New York to be
president of the New York Central
railroad, is without foundation, and
that he just happened to be in southern
California with his wife on a tour of
inspection, combined with pleasure at
the same time that Mr.. Hartman hap
pened to arrive here with his family
and friends for the benefit of his
health.
General Manager O'Brien of Portland,
head of the Hartman interests in the
northwest, left for Colorado this morn
ing.
Epes Randolph. Harriman's Arizona
representative, has departed for Phoe-
nix. So Mr.. Hartman has no one to
confer with, it would seem.
If anything of greatfinportance was
accomplished at the meetings between
the various department heads of the
system and Mr.. Hartman yesterday,
Mr.. Hartman is at great pains to keep
the results secret, for he contented
himself today with telling the newspa-
per men how he was enjoying the sun
shine of southern California, and what
a great country the southwest was. He
refused to talk of railroad changes.
The belief is general here that if any
of the important changes limited at
heretofore are 10 be made, the an
nouncement of them will come after
Mr.. Harriman's return to New York.
The exact date of his leaving southern
California has not yet been fixed.

Chaloner was exoneTated.
Gillard came to Virginia from Aus

Chaloner's protection from her husband,
who, it is alleged, had threatened her
life Mrs. Gillard had arrived at "Mer-
~ Mills in advance of her husband
and, with her children, was waiting in
the dining room to tell her story, when
her husband entered and attacked her,
it is said, with pair of tongs. Chaioner
then entered the room and interfered.
A scuffle between Chaloner and the
Engiishman ensued, and the former
drew q revolver to restrain the frenzied
man. Gillard seized the pistol and
tried to turn it on his wife. Chaloner
grasped it and it was discharged, the
bullet entering Gillard's temple.
At the inquest the widow said she
was positive ner huSDdnu 01Scnarge0
the pistol in an effort to kill her. The
body was kept at Merry Mills all
night in the position in which it fell.
The room still showed evidences of the
struggle The woman's hat was in one
corner of the room, and hairpins were
scattered about the floor. The tongs,
bent into bows, were bloody and con-
tanned Clumps of hair. Mrs. GilIard's
head was badly cut.
Chaloner had frequently befriended

WILL FIGHT CUT IN WAGES

Reading. Pa. March 16.-The dele
gates to the eastern district convention
of the Amalgamated Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers association today decided
against accepting the reduction in
wages of Il. 900 iron workers recently
announced by the manufacturers in
this district.
James 3. Mincher, vice president of
the eastern division of the association.
said:
From reports of the delegates we
find that the unorganized, as well as
the organized, iron workers are clam
oring against the proposed reduction.
Why, only recently, in the west, an
advance of Il cents was given to the
puddlers and 1 per cent to the finishers.
Market conditions do not warrant a cut
in wages. The markets are remaining
the same as they have been for months
past and there is positively no reason
why there should be any cut

ACCIDENTS TOO FREQUENT.
Plain Talk by General Superinten-
dent of Union Pacific.

Chicago, March 16--W. L. Park gen.
eral superintendent of the Union Pacific,
in an address tonight before the Western
Railway club said:
AS railroad nen~we must admit that
the leng list of fatal accidents and in
juTieS to passengers and employees is a
blot which must be wiped out.
'Tt is a fact that not few railroad
accidents are whitewashed to the extent
that the officials even deceive themselves.
Unless politicians take the reins and gov
ern the railroads. the railroad men must
analyze the present conditions in connec-
ton with the growing sentiment that &C
cidents are of frequent occurrence, and
unless prevented to a greater degree than
now exists the strong arm of the govern
ment must intervene"

Prohibition Which Does ZEE Prohibit.

Governor Spry and twelve members Of
the legislature will today submit to the
state legislature as a substitute for SEN
ate bill las, providing for regulation and
local option, the famous Cullen hotel BILL
drawn by the federal bunch as ripper
bill to wrest the power of licensing and
regulating the saloons from city govern
ments and make it a part of the Repub-
lican state machine.
BY shrewd move the federal bunch
has once more secured the upper hand Of
the legislature aud will try to force
through bill which two months ago a
large majority of the legislature laughed
at in scoTn.
The bill which will be introduced today
by the governor and the conference com
mittee is only the Cullen hotel bill slight
ly modified. The new substitute is al
most absolutely Identical with the Cullen
hotel bill, save that it provides for coun-
ty local option, with the exception of
cities of 12O09 or over. The language of
the two bills in many sections Is prac-
tically identical.
One of the most Objectionable features
in the bill is the fact that it puts the
licensing of all saloons of the state in
the hands of the state board of examin-
ers. The peopA of any community have
no right to say who shall have a saloon
or how he shall govern that saloon. The
latest turn to ripperiSm by the federal
bunch is making the saloons of the state
a part of the state machine, with saloon
regulations stringent enough to wrest
campaign contributions and political sup
port through the threat of enforcement.

What Cushman Represents.

Mr.. CuShman represents that section
of the country which desires to improve
it's commercial relations with Canada,
especially to secure a market in the
Dominion for citrus fruits, olives, grapes
and the other commodities of a perish
able character, for which ready mar
kst is needed.
On the other hand, the lumber inter-
ests are very large in that section, and
Mr.. Cushman's attitude may have had
a material effect in regard to the lum-
Der schedule. Numerous briefs have
been submitted by important interests
in the northwest favOring free iron ore,
and the competition in this section with
Canadian coal is of much interest owing
to the proposed reciprocity arrangement
with Canada on coal.
The printed copies of the tariff bill.
the matrices, and even the paper re-
naming on the presses that were used
to print the bill. have been in the vaults
of the printing office since 11:30 this
morning.
It had been planned to bring in the
bill today, but it was desired to secure
for it the unanimous approval of the
Republican members, making Mr. Cush-
mans Endorsement necessary.

Bears the Federal Brand.

The authorship of the bill may rightly
go to James H. Anderson, deputy collector
of internal revenue: Hiram E Booth,
United States district attorney, and J. L.
Eldredge, United States assayer. After
the bill was drawn, at time when the
prohibition movement was at its height, It
was submitted to a caucus of sixteen fed
eral office holders, held in the Cullen no.
tel in the latter part of January. Sen
ator Badger was slated to introduce the
bill, but he declined, and finally President
Gardner was induced to introduce it, and
he did so by request"
At that time members Of both the SEN
ate and the house, some of whom are on
the conference committee which now
recommends the bill. were loud in their
ienunciation of the measure Had it
been voted on at that time it would have
received scarcely a respectable vote. At
the request of President Gardner the bill
went to joint committee of the mem
bers of the committees on judiciary and
manufactures and commerce. and was
there forgotten for weeks. The commit
tee never met to consider the bill. Finally
a poll of the committee was taken with
out the formality of a meeting, and the
bill was reported adversely. The senate
was unanimous in adopting the report
killing the bill.

PAYNE TARIFF
BILL DUE TODAY
Some Changes Made Since Ap-
pointment of Ways and
Means Committee.

Washington, March 16.-The Payne
tariff bill will be introduced in the house
early tomorrow. In the meantime it
will be reprinted.
At a meeting of the subcommittee of
Republican members held today, after
Speaker Cannon had appointed the COM
mittee on ways and means, several
changes in the bill were attended to.
The meeting was for the purpose of
securing the approval of the new Re
publican member, Cushman of Wash
irgton, who had no knowledge of the
provisions of the bill.
The appointment Of Representative
Cushman gives the Pacific coast two
representatives on the Republican side
of the ways and means committee, and
leaves the Rocky mountain states with
out representation. While Mr.. Cush-
man had little time in which to con-
slider the bill, his attitude may have
changed the measure considerably. The
changes agreed upon, however, are
mainly in phraseOlOgy.

MACKAY FINDS WEST IS

Returns from Coast Optimistic
Over Outlook.

NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Clarence H.
Mackay, who la just finished an 5000
mile inspection tour of the Postal Teie-
graph lines. is both optimistic n en-
thusiastic concerning conditions In the
West.
The people out there" he said, ARE
not watching the horizon with eager
eyes for a return OF prosperity. They
think prosperity has already arrived.
And so it has with them. if my judg-
ment Is worth anything. The telegraph
is certainly as good a barometer of
business as can be found. It reflects
dulness n dependency, revival and
h~opefulness, impertiaiiy and instan-
taneously.
Eastern people who don't go West
have NJ comprehension Of its growth
and development. San Francisco is q
modern marvel of American courage
and faith, and Seattle of American en-
ergy and skill. 1t 10 already one of the
most attractive cities that We have.
Nobody can see 1t without realizing
that it is destined at no distant day to
be one OF the greatest In America.
All the way through the Middle
West, too, signs were equally crafty
ing. I was told in Montana and North
Dakota hat farmers have learned the
lesson OF modern industrial development
through savings achieved by coopera.
ton. and are forming great farming
companies which already how remark

NEW HAVEN PLANS SUBWAYS

NEW HAVEN. Nov. S.-The acquisi-
ton by the New York, New Haven and

HIS "SURE THING" GAME
LANDS HIM IN JAIL SHADOW.
Trusted Clerk Is Over $1,000
Short in Accounts.

CLEMENToN, Nov. S.-Convinced
that a system he mad devised would
enable him to win at all gambling
games and aid him in gaining wealth,
John H. Brooks, of this place, is al
legged to have made use of his employ
ers' money in the venture. which proved
both Improbable and disastrous for
him.
With an alleged shortage Of 1,200 in
his accounts, he was arraigned In the
Central Police Court and held in a SINH
lar charge of embezzlement. He had,
according to his own admission, lost
all the money. which belonged to Sulli-
van & Co., Arch street, Philadelphia,
by whom he had been employed for the
past ten years.
Brooks had turned his attention to
gambling because he had tired, he said,
of working for a regular weekly salary.
Strange to say. his first venture at a
game of chance resulted in his winning
$40. This he accepted as proof that he
was proceeding in the right way to gain
a fortune. 1t was followed by many
reverses.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Nov. s.HTrading in the
wheat pit on THE Board of Trade was
~lietless during the early part OF the
session today and the market was in
clined to drag owing to selling based
on a continued liberal movement In the
Northwest. An advance of y to Id. in
the price of wheat at Liverpool had
some effect at the start, but prices soon
reacted on light offerings. Argentine
advices were again bearish and the
fash situation in this country was still
unchanged, little demand being mani
Tested in any direction. Opening quo
tations were Il lower to u higher. with
December at 1925 to l03h. Later De-
cember sold of to I02if@%.
Firm cables and wet weather in por-
tiens OF the corn belt impaired moder-
ate frmness to the corn market at the
opening, but prices soon eased off a
trife on selling by leading bears. An
official prediction of colder weather for
tomorrow prompted some selling. Trad
ing was rather quiet early in the day,
many traders holding of until the pub
LEGATION of the government report at
noon. The December delivery opened
Il higher at 5s%, sold up to 5SA, and
then declined to 5S%.
Oats were easy in sympathy with
other grain. The December option
opened unchanged at 80. sold at ssals
and then reacted to 3S7s.
Provisions advanced sharply early in
the day owing to a general demand
which met with light offerings. The
buying was based on continued light re-
ceipts of live hogs in the West. Porli
was especially strong, the January
option advancing 57k from the previous
close. Prices at the opening were q.
to 3215 higher.
