END OF CHICAG0'S
RAILWAY WAR NEAR
Both Sides in Threatened Labor Diff
Guilty Agree That Settlement
May Be Reached

CHICAGO, Aug. 9-In the street rail-
way situation here today no definite
proposal of peace was accepted on
either side. Conferences were held and
justified the conclusion that a settle
ment without a strike or arbitration
is only a few days off.
The union leaders refused the offer
made by the railway officials of a grad
ed scale giving the 80 cents an hour
maximum to men who have been in
the service fifteen years.
That the crisis in the dispute between
the railway companies and their 5000
employees would be passed today, fol-
lowing two conferences between trac-
ton officials and labor leaders, was the
expectation of both street car officials
and representatives. of the unions in
Volved in the controversy.
Both sides in the disputeh anticipated
today's negotiations would pave the
way for a peace agreement to extend
over a long term of years.
The first of these conferences was
held this morning between President
Jonn Roach of the Chicago Railways
company and the employees of the north
and west side lines. Walter l.. Fisher
special traction counsel for the city,
was also in attendance with full power
to act as tra official representative of
the city. which is a silent partner of
the railways company
The other conference took place this
afternoon and was attended by Presi-
dent Thomas e. Mitten of the Chicago
CITY Railway company, and the wage
scale committee of the union street
car men of the south side of the city.
Mr. Fisher also attended this latter
meeting in his official capacity.

tempts to Draw Revolver,

OAKLAND, Aug. 9.-Constable w.
C. Allen of Fruitvale last night cap
tured Charles w. Dodson, a self-con-
fessed forger and embezzler, against
whom there are fourteen indictments
in the city of Boston, and he was
locked up in the county Jail.
A week ago Allen received informa-
ton from Boston that Dodson was on
this coast. He Immediately began
search and finally located his man. the
information from Boston said Dodson,
although a genteel criminal, was n
desperate man, so Allen laid his plans
accordingly.
Allen made an appointment with
Dodson through a third party whom
Dodson would not suspect, and when
Dodson arrived at Thirteenth and Har-
rison streets Allen approached him to
place him under arrest.
Dodson suspected Allen and made an
ATTEMPT to draw a revolver. Allen had
ANTICIPATED such a move, however, and
was too quick for Dodson, covering him
with his own gun and placing the
handouts on his wrists.
At the county jail Dodson said; l
did not go to shoot you, constable. l
saw you were an officer and only
wanted to get my gun out and shoot
myself"

ENGLAND'S HAND IS SEEN IN
RAILROAD SITUATION
JAPAN STEADILY PUSHING WORK
ON AN TuNG LINE
MongolIan Empire Watches with Bit
terness Steady Encroachment of
Islanders on Manchurian
Territory
[By Associated Press. ]

PEKING, Aug. 9.-Chinese foreign
board and the grand council have been
in consecutive conference with Prince
Chun, the regent, on the japanese
situation, since the issuance of Japan 5
note announcing her intention of pro-
ceeding Immediately with the recon-
struction of the An Tung Mukden rail-
road, without China's cooperation.
Laing Yum Ten, the president of the
board of foreign affairs, was received
in audience by the prince regent yes
terday and today. The regent showed
great anxiety at Japans attitude in
coercion, which was supported by
Great Britain, and he urged the foreign
board to accelerate a settlement of the
question in order not to provoke Jap
anese violence.
The Associated Press tonight learns
that China has virtually conceded
Japans demand that the railroad be
made of standard gauge, and is willing
to accept any reasonable compromise
But Chinese diplomats are loath to give
a treaty consent on account of Japan's S
suspicious attitude in forcing the gauge
question by claiming for the An Tung
line advantages existing on the South
Manchurian railroad and through her
refusal to negotiate the latter question.
Japan insisted on postponlhg conSlueI-
alton of the South Manchurian ques-
ton when the An Tung Mukden rail-
road was reconstructed.
China does not object to the eXpan-
sion of the An Tung Mukden railroad
commercially, but she does oppose a
Japanese military strategetic enter
prise ending in another foreign military
and commercial barrier across Man
churia.
Great Britain's support of Japan has
made a deep impression on Chinese
statesmen, who point out that Great
Britain's attitude developed stimuli
taneously with the war scare in
Europe.
Extreme pessimism prevails in gov
ernmental circles. High officials say
that as Japan has British support, she
supposes she can do what she likes.

On cross-examination Mr.. Birney in
sisted Mrs. Sutton explain why she
made these derOgatory comments. she
retorted she could express an opinion
about Potts face without intending
to mean that every one criticised was
implicated in her sons death. She fur
ther insisted the contents of her let
ters to Swartz had been arrived at
through reading the testimony and she
still held to her original belief
"The love between Jimmy and my
self" continued the mother in this
letter to Swartz, was the greatest that
could exist between two persons, II

at once. Well, while those beasts were
laying their plans for Jimmy an awful
fear came over me and my two daugh-
ters we could not talk and each kept
away from the other for fear Of be-
traying our feelings.
Next day Mr.. Sutton came in and
asked if I could stand some awful
news. He told me that Jimmy was re-
ported to have killed himself"

CHINA ASKS MORE TIME,
BUT JAPAN is oBDURATE

TOXIC, Aug. 9.-China's reply to
Japan's recent note, announcing i'm
mediate commencement of work on the
reconstruction of the An Tung-Mukde1
railroad in Manchuria, issued by the
foreign office today. says China is
desirous of continuing the negotiations
and therefore asks that work be sus-
pended.
Regarding other pending matters
upon which they have been unable to
agree heretofore China says that she
expects an amicable settlement.
Japan's reply to this request was
polite but firm. 1t was made plain
that the negotiations concerning the
An Tung-Mukden railroad had been
closed forever except in so far as they
related to that section of the road be-
tween Mukden and Che Slang Tun, and
that it would not be necessary to sus-
pend work to reach an agreement upon
that one strip of territory.
Regarding all other matters the reply
continues, Japan will proceed with
pleasure.

LOVE OF LIFE STRONG IN TWO
MEN AT THE COUNTY HOSPITAL
Jose Garcia Stolidly Fights Death Refusing Allow
Amputaton of Manged Leg-Leper Calmly Faces
Confinement for Remainder of Days

dress and care for, but Jose and the
nurse fought the battle out together,
through weeks of uncertainty, and
won.
April Fl, four days after Jose entered
the hospital, his temperature had risen
to 103, and his mind was wandering
among the scenes of his youth in
Mexico. That night the nurse remained
on duty longer hours than the regula-
tions of the hospital required. Next day
the temperature was 104, and then the
nurse resigned himself to defeat in the
battle for the life of his patient. But
Jose had not surrendered The fol-
lowing day his temperature fell to 102,
and the nurse took up the fight again.
Jose is nearly well, and the nurse is
very proud of him. 1t is the pride
of work done. The nurse is not sem
timentalist. "It will be the farm for
him." he said, dispassionately.
do you think the railroad would
give me an artificial leg?" asked Jose
eagerly in Spanish. The question was
not answered.
Joseph Gasteld was employed in a
place on Main street, washing dishes
and preparing free lunch, when he be-
gan to be troubled with sores on his
legs. Finally the affliction became so
troublesome that he gave up preparing
free lunch and washing dishes and Went
to the county hospital for treatment.
That is how it came to be discovered
that Joseph Gasteld, preparer of free
lunch, was leper.
Leper Fond of Life
Joseph seemed fond of life, and
cheerful. He expresses great pleasure
in the fact that the sores on his legs
have healed and no longr cause him
any pain. He wants to leave the hos
nital, and go back to washing dishes
and the preparation of free lunch but
the hospital officials are not inclined TO
consult Joseph's desires and conVen-
ience alone in the matter
All unconsciously, when Joseph maze
annlication for admission to the hos
njtaI on May l of this year, he was en-
tering the home which will be ms
through the remaining years of his life
while death creeps on him inch by
inch. r..
But though saddened by the fact
that he may not go forth to prepare
free lunch for hungry men on Main
street Joseph is cheerful in the main'
taking great comfort in the fact that
no matter what the future may have in
store. he is suffering no pain now and
for the time being, the sores nave
healed.
