NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RAIL
WAY COMMISSIONER IN
SESSION TODAY,
Meet in Washington, D. c., for What
Important Gatherings Held.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16-The Ma
tional Association of Railway commits
sioners convened here today in twenty
first annual session, for what prom
ises to be the most important meeting
ever neld by the organization.
In the early years of the association
and prior to the passage of the Hep
burn amendment, the convention had
amounted to little more than reunions
with a long junket at the expense of
the railroads thrown in. Since the pas
sage of the Hepburn amendment,
which galvanized the interstate COM
merce commission into forceful life,
and since the passage of many state
laws giving state commissioners great
err regulating power. the national Or
ganization has assumed an important
place in the railway life
The reports which it's committees
make are awaited with considerable
interest by the railroad arrangements
and by legislators, both state and ma
tional. This year the association has
most vital list of problems before
it; and it's reports are being careful
ly prepared with the view to giving
them the force and the influence they
should exert. Among the subjects
which are to be carefully considered
are the following: Powers, Duties and
Work of the State Railway Commits
sions;" Legislation, Amendment or
che Act to Regulate Commerce.; Uni
form Classification Rate and Rate
Making" Railroad Taxes and Plans
for the Accertaining of the Fair Value
of Railroad Property" Statistics"
Construction and Operating Expenses
of Electric Railways" safety Appli-
ances;" Delays in Enforcing Orders
of Railroad Commissions 'Grade
Crossings" and "Tresspassing on Rail-
roads"
The committee on grade crossings
has prepared an exhaustive report,
which is signed by William j. Wood.

WILL HOLD SECOND MEETING
Associated Whitman Students Meet
To Amend Constitution.

Associates whitman StucentS Weet
To Amend Constitution.
second meeting of the Associa-
ted students of Whitman will be held
tomorrow after chapel for the pur-
pose of reconsidering the proposed
amendment to the constitution which
will limit the amount of money the
manager of the Pioneer may receive
for his services. This amendment,
though voted down at the last meet
ing, on account of the, proceedings
which were ruled to be unparliament
airy, is still before the student body,
and it will be settled Wednesday.
The amendment as now reads so as
give the manager so per cent of the
profits he may make for the paper,
allowing the other half to go to the
Associated Students, whereas hereto
fore he received 80 per cent. This
will give him. figured on the basis of
what he made last year, about $3.50
or probably less.
The determined opposition with
which the proposed amendment met
both before and after it's first consid-
Grafton in the meeting two weeks ago,
and the split which it was obviously
making in the student body, has
caused a compromise to be suggested.
This compromise will embody much
the same as the first amendment,
with the additional clauses that it
shall not take effect until after the
beginning of next year, and that in
the meantime the present manager is
profits over thet amount. This will
give him practically what he would
have made on the old 80 per cent ba-

INDICTED On
TWO CHARGES
WARRiNER up FOR LARCENY AND
EMBEZZLEMENT-THE ENTIRE
AMOUNT Is NOT KNOWN
BOOKS OF BIG FOUR RAILROAD
PRIOR TO 1905 FOUND TO HAVE
DISAPPEARED.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 15.-CharIes L.
Warriner, former treasurer of the Big
Four railroad, was indicted on two
counts today by the grand jury on
charges Of grand larceny and embez-
element.
While s643,OOO is known to have
been stolen, the startling fact was de-
veloped by todays proceedings that
the company's cash books prior to
1905 have disappeared, and that it
will never be possible to tell the full
amount of the giant defalcation.
The comparatively small amount
upon which Warmer was indicted re-
presents the latest known thefts. This
means that the prosecution may be
maintained indefinitely.
Amazing figures were presented to-
day showing the progress of the
thefts for the last five years. The
shortage thus estimated follows:
1905-$5S,000.
1906-$59,O00
1907-$60,000
1908-$62, 900.
1909-$S3,0 00
Total for five years, s322,OO0.
Of this sum Warmer claims to
have paid $4OO a month to each of
two persons in the orm of black
mail The rest he alleges he lost in
speculation.
BY far the most interesting person
to appear before the grand jury to-
day was Mrs. Jeanette Stewart-Ford,
the woman whose connection with the
case is still a mystery. After she had
given her evidence she declared she
had said nothing beyond the indef-
mite statements she has already made
public.
After the grand jury had adjourned
for the day Prosecutor Hunt announ-
ced that Warmer would be summon
ed as a witness to give evidence
against those he accuses of blackmail.

He was not in the best possible shape
and at one time he wanted to make
sudden departure for Australia. Britt
nerssvered with Nelson and finally in
duced him to fight Cans, though ne
was not in the best possible condl-
ton. The result was that Nelson an
nexed the lightweight crown.
Britt got hold of Stanley ketcnel

managed the Michigander, he made
for him more money than any man III

of Jacl, Johnson. Ketchel said after
Britt's death that he was worth 90
per cent of what any fighter earned,

The next battle Of note to be held
here will be a 20-round affair between
Lew Powell the best Of the local light

Graney is very friendly to the new

that he will be given a professional
fight club next year. From his stae-

can hold professional fight to a finish

the intention of making his bid for a
finish fight, to be held in San Francis

Yale's Fine Natatorium.

GiS tfiG INGldtOflUrHs
In every respect the natatorium is
one of the most up-to- date in the
country. The depth of the water
makes swimming easy and the near
ness of the surface of the water to the
pool walk makes exit from the tank
a very simple matter. Another good
feature is the fact that there is no
ladder to climb when an exit is to be
made. When the swimmer is finished
with his plunge he simply rolls out.
Every precaution has been taken to
make the pool a sanitary one. In or
der to carry off the waste water after
the swimmer has emerged from the
tank, cutters running along each side
have been inserted. The idea was i'm

are ardent admirers of the sport.
If Graney gets the fight permit for
July, and he is allowed to conduct
finish fight, he could probably offer
more money for the contest than any
of the other western promoters. The
fight held in Sam Francisco proper
would undoubtedly draw more money
than it would in the suburbs. 1t would

in the heart of the city, as there are
many available places to put up a ring.
Graney is also close to Berger, and
Jeffs manager would not stand in his
way. In fact, he would undoubtedly
boost for Graney. However Gleason,
who is also a personal friend of Ber-
gers is out for the fight, SO when it
comes to accepting offers, the highest
bidder will likely get the battle.

reporter stood him in stead when II

note, having held the championship of

took up professional boxing. 1t will be
remembered that Jimmy Britt was one
