JOB FOR ARBITRATORS
Only Way In Which Georgia Railroad
Strike Can Be Settled

Atlanta, June Unable to agree
upon the terms of settlement, the Off
Gals of the Georgia railroad and Of
the Brotherhood of Firemen have in
voked arbitration under the Erdman
law. Commissioner of Labor Neill
and Chairman Knapp of the interstate
commerce commission last night re-
luctantly gave up hope of bringing the
warning elements together.
Commissioner Neill notified both
parties to the dispute to name an ar
bitrator within five days. These two
men will select a third. The Erd-
man act provides that should the two
arbiters be unable to agree upon the
third member of the commission, he
must be named by Knapp and Neil.
The decision of the arbitrator is
made binding by law.
The disagreement came over the re-
tention of negroes. When the men
returned to work Saturday, the road
agreed that the status of April 10,
when the trouble begun, should be
restored. The company had then pro-
NOTED several negroes to good runs
and removed white firemen to make
room for them. Already the company
has restored the white firemen to
their cid runs. All other disputed
points and demands were conceded
except the seniority of white men and
the limitation as to the number of
negroes employed.

No Cars Taken From Barns After
Early Evening Because of Hostile
Demonstrations by Strike Sympa-
thizers-Mayor Announces Deter
mination to Have the Public Ac-
commodated-Laoo Supports Men
Philadelphia, June /. -Strikebreak-
ers from other cities were put to work
Monday in an effort to break the strike
of the motOrmen and conductors of the
street car lines of this city. Not
withstanding these importations not a
car left any of the barns after 8
o'clock last night and at 10 o'clock the
last car had been taken off for the
night.
Incensed at strikebreakers being
brought here, sympathizers of the
striking street car men made demon
strations at the car barns where the
new men are CHARTERED and many ar
rests were made. Many of the pris
oners were charged with nothing
more than calling names. Consider
ing the number of men on strike there
have been remarkably few acts of
violence.
One of the chief demonstrations was
made at one of the West Philadelphia
barns, when strikebreakers, under
heavy police guard, began taking out
cars. A squad of mounted police had
to charge the crowd repeatedly before
1t dispersed. Finally, the cars were
started, but most of them ran almost
empty the entire length of the route,
Mayor Reyburn states that he will
swear in 10, 900 extra policemen, If
necessary, and keep the cars running
for the convenience of the public. The
public will be accommodated, the
mayor said, IF the city has to take
over the transit company's lines and
run them itself with the firemen, the
police and the extra police.
At a meeting of the strikers last
night, President Murphy of the Cen
trail Labor union pledged that body's
support to the trolley men. IF the
Rapid Transit company don't come to
time by Thursday" he said, there
will be a general strike declared by
Friday. We will parade Broad street
on Saturday and show them our
strength"
The saloons were closed at 6 o'clock
last night and remained closed until
6 o'clock this morning. The mayor
says that this precautionary step will
be taken every night until there is alb
no probability of rioting.

Most OF the leaders express salts
faction with the outcome. The out
ward quietness with which the cleo
ton was brought about testifes to
the consummate political proves of
Lorimer. Until few days ago he
had not received a vote for senator,
while Hopkins, who went before the
legislature with the Endorsement of
the primary election of the Republi-
cans of Illinois, had kept within 20
or 30 votes of a majority during the
five months of the deadlock. A few
days ago Lorimer received one vote
and rumor began to travel that he was
to be elected by a carefully arranged
bipartisan coalition.
After his election Lorimer thanked
the Democrats for their support ana
announced that he had always been
and always would be a Republican.
Although William Lorimer's prog
ress in politics has been steady and
consistent from the time when he be-
gan securing city contracts for his
firm Of contractors until he was elect
ed to the United States senate he can
never be president, for he was born in
England.
Mr.. Lorimer's biography in the con-
gressional directory is one of the
briefest, about fifty words, and omits
to mention that he first saw the light
in 1861. At the age of he was
brought to this country by his par
ents. At the age of u he worked as
a sign painters apprentice. Later he
labored at the stockyards, of which,
in after years, he was to be known as
the boss" Next he gathered nickels
on a street car.
Meanwhile he had become a politi-
cal factor. He became a contractor,
was called the blonde boss" in the
newspapers and was counted on to
deliver the packing house district to
the Republican ticket. In 1882 he was
defeated for a county office, but three
years later he was elected to the Fiji
ty-fourth congress, where he has re-
NAMED, with the exception of one
term, ever since.

COVERED $50 MILES
ZeppeIn's New Airship Then Comes to
Grief by Striking a Tree

Goeppingen, June AFTER cover
Ing a distance of about $50 miles in
thirty-seven hours, Count Zeppelin's
new airship, on its return trip from
Bitterfeld to Friedrichshafen, came to
grief in an open field near here Mon
day. In manoeuvring for a landing
the airship came into contact with a
tree, and its position is very danger
Dus.
The envelope had been torn and the
prov is broken, so that considerable
time must elapse before the journey
can be continued.
The position of the craft is extreme
ly unfavorable, the ground being
very hilly. The bow rests on the
ground, while the stern is about
sixty-five feet in the air.
That the collision was a heavy one
Is indicated by the broken and bent

BANKER BECAME
A HORSETHIEF
Escapes From Prison and Is
Now Hunted by Posse

La Porte, Ind, June Robert
Green, banker and hoTsethief, is now
an escaped convict. Armed citizens
and officers are securing the marsh
land northwest of Valparaiso, Ind. to
find the horsestealing banker. He
escaped from the Michigan City peni-
Tertiary, stole a horse and buggy ten
miles from the prison and drove to a
marsh, where he disappeared. The
horse and buggy were recovered.
Green was sent to the penitentiary
from Charlottesville on a plea of
guilty to horsestealing. He was for
merly vice president of the Merchants
and Farmers bank of Waynetown.
With a view to recuperating his for
tunes, which had been impaired by
speculation, he took to stealing
horses.
