PRESIDENT HAWLEY
 TO MEET GOMPERS
UNION LEADERS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY BUT HILL SAYS
 STRIKE IS BROKEN.
Special from United Press.) )

Minneapolis. Dec. S.-President Haw- ley of the Switchmen's Union of North America will leave tonight for the east and it Is reported he will meet President Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor at Gin cinnau on Friday. This conference may result in the issuance of some declaration by Gompers but insofar as the sentiment at strike headquarters can be determined 1t is not expected Gompers will allow a sympathetic strike. Strike leaders declare they could enlist the support of affiliated orders but that they are so confident of victory they do not deem such a step necessary.
 President Hill of the Great Northern declares that the strike is broken, that he Is sorry for the men who were deceived by their leaders, that he will take back men who have families but that the agitators must go elsewhere for jobs.
 Representative Twin-City shippers report conditions are nearly normal. They claim freight is sent out almost as soon as delivered. Reports receiv- ed at strike headquarters say the strikers. are standing firm and that the railroads are tied up.

DOG STOLEN FROM BARN AS SPORTS
 WAIT FOR FIGHT
Expected Display of Canine Prowess
 Unexpectedly Called Off.
Twenty Local Sports Tramp Through Muddy Roads of Fairfield to Dog Fight, Only to Meet With Disap- poiutment

Downpours of rain made last night ar ideal night for a dog fight and about twenty local sports splashed through the water soaked country roads of Fairfield to a barn where two canInes owned in this city were to fight for $50 side. The spectators perched themselves at vantage points about the hay mow and waited for the chewing match to begin. Both dogs were on hand and the handlers took sometime to get them ready for the fray.
 When the referee called for the pit ting of the terriers only one dog was to be found in the barn. A man whose name Is said to have been Burt had disappeared with the oth- CT dog. The owner of the bull said the dog was stolen but the sports were of the opinion that the owner was afraid of losing and the theft of the dog was a ruse to save the bet.
 The sports from this city reached the center of the city about 11:30 o'clock wet. sore and about the mad dest bunch the city has ever seen.
 There is another fight scheduled to be pulled or next Friday night In North Bridgeport but 1t is sure bet that the crowd that went to Fair field to be told one of the dogs was stolen will be sure Of the appearance of the contestants before they set out.

DIR. COOKS DATA
 IN COPENHAGEN
IRON BOX CONTAINING NORTH POLE RECORDS TURNED OVER
 TO UNIVERSITY TO-DAY.
(special from United Press. |

Special from United Press.) Copenhagen, Dec. s.-Dr. Frederick A. Cooks North Pole discovery data was today turned over to Dr. Terp, rector of the University of Copenha- gen; Chancellor Salomonsen and Pro- lessor Ellis Stromgrep. They received the iron box containing the volumi- nous report of the exp.orer from the hands of his secretary. Walter Lons- dale, who arrived today aboard the steamship United States. These men win have but temporary, custody of the data They will turn 1t over to the Investigating committee as soon as the committee is definitely settled Professor Stromgren will probably be the president of the committee.
 The iron box was taken from the steamer to the University of Copeu- hagen in an automobile under guard of Lonsdalc and two detectives. The official examination will probably be- gin within a day or two.
 The records will be submitted to the most rigid examination as Danish sci entists realize that the Cook-Peary controversy has reached a stage that will permit no sentiment entering into the situation. The scientific reputa- ton of Denmark will stand or fall by the report made on Cooks data and for this reason the investigation will be rigidly scientific.

RAILROAD STRIKE
 REMOTE IN EAST
VICE PRESIDENT MURDOCH OF TRAINMEN SAYS MEN MUST FIRST MAKE DEMANDS AS EM- PLOYES
(sneciaI from limited pra.s,

Especial from United Press) New York, Dec. S.-The possibility of eastern members of the Brotherhood of | Railway Trainmen and the Brother hood of Railway Conductors is very remote, is the assertion made today by James Murdock, fifth vice-president of the trainmen.
 The employees of 32 of the railroads in the east will, on January 3rd, make demand upon their respective rail- road managers. for an increase in wages and a concession as to hours. These demands will be made by the men as Anlployes of the road. and not as members of the Brotherhood of Trainmen or the Brotherhood of Con- ductors.
 ''The two brotherhoods." declares Murdock "can take no official cogni- zance of the. demands under their constitutions until the members make request for such action. If the man. agers and their employees can agree, there will be no official action on the part of the brotherhoods. If an agree ment cannot be reached, the employees of the roads will then lay the matter before their respective brotherhoods for action. Not until then will the of hcers of the brotherhoods enter the conferences.
 Talk of a strike at this time is bosh. I am not here atthis time to confer with the managers as has been stated, because the men have not made their demands and I have not been called officially into the matter"
 George F. Baer, president of the Philadelphia & Reading, held a con- ference late yesterday with several railroad presidents at the Central Rail- road building, to discuss informally the demands that are to be made by the trainmen and the conductors Neither Baer nor President W. H. Truesdale of the Delaware, Lackwanna & West ern. who was present, would discuss the situation
 Do you think there will be a striker" Truesdale was asked. There ought not to be. don't see why there should be any trouble,' he replied.

OUTLOOK GOOD FOR THE
COUNTY OF RIO ARR|BA
The Lobato Land Grant Has Been Pur.
chased and Improvements Will
Be Made.

On December 7th last there were
closed at Colorado Springs, Colo, ne
gotiations which had been in progress
from April ID, 1908, for the sale OF
the Juan Jose Lavato land grant com
prising $4,000 acres, net. This grant
lies in Rio Arriba county, beginning
at d point about nine miles west OF
Espanoa. 1t has been thoroughly
proved as to it's timber and the amount
thereon found, justified the purchasers
in the intention to construct a rail
road from some point on the Denver
e Flo Grande railroad in order to get
out the timber product In addition
it contains vast quantity of fine IT.
figable land. The Chanla river tray
erses it from north to south and the
El Rito runs through the easterly
portion of it in a southerly direction.
Prior to the closing of the transac-
ton certain applications for water
rights which had previously been filed
with the territorial engineer were
passed upon and held good. The sell
ers were George Hill Howard and wife.
and the New Mexico Irrigated Lands
company, and incidental to the sale
certain interests in the property own
ed by the heirs Of Noah L. Jeffries
and William K. Earle were transfer

by George Hill Howard, of Albuquer.

REFUGEES UNCOM-
PLANNING BUT DAZED
Work of Supplying Food and Drink
Well Under Way.

Rome, Jan. Miss May Sherman
Of Elizabeth, \, j., who was active
in measures undertaken at Taoromina
for the relief of earthquake sufferers
is now in Rome She says:
"All the bakers at Taoromina were
kept busy making bread and they were
paid by contributions from foreign
countries. We all did everything pos
sible to obtain clothing for the shiv-
ering and naked people. There were
many children among the refugees
who had been made orphans by the
earthquake. A Mrs. WEIGH who in
tended TO 60 to Messina the day be
fore the earthquake. saved her life by
postponing her departure. Mrs. WEIGH
has taken charge of little girl refu
gee, evidently Of gentle birth, and If
she is not claimed, will adopt the
child.
Il was much struck by the behav-
ior Of the refugees They seemed
dazed with terror and suffering, but
were absolutely accomplishing. They
were ready to share whatever was
given them with each other and even
those that We're suffering most did
not neglect to thank up for the kind
ness shown. The people of Giradni
seemed to have no idea Of even giving
water TO refugees until suggested to
them by foreigners, But as soon as
they did wake up they showed great
kindness and received one hundred
wounded into their homes.

Ira Harris, and Mrs e. B. Skinner. OF
Colorado Springs, on the part of the
purchasers who We're Mr.. Charles L.
Tut and Mr.. e. B. Skinner, of Colo
RADIO Springs.
Active work in the installation of
reservoirs, irrigation systems, lumber
mills and a railway will be begun as
soon as the spring opens, and it is
expected that these activities will re-
suit in a great push forward of the
community within and tributary to
the said grant.
Rio Arriba county is one of the old
est in the territory and along its wa
ter courses, chief of which are the
Rio Grande and Chama rivers, agri-
culture has flourished for many years.
AS an agricultural fruit growing and
stock raising country Rio Arriba is
one of the best, Sheep growing is
now the principal industry. Some of
the finest fruit to be found in New
Mexico is grown in this county. 1t also
has a. large acreage of heavily tim
bered land much of which is now be-
ing developed while the mining dis
tricts are important and show large
deposits of coal, copper and, silver.
The work to be done in this fertile
section of the territory promises to
be of much value to New Mexico add
ing increased wealth, bringing in set
tiers and a general development Of
that region.

CHARLES P. TAFT
SHOWS DiSPLEASURE
Resents the Action of Pastor BY Re.
signing From Church.

Chicago, Jan. 9.--The Record Herald
today prints the following from Gin
cinnati:
The resignation of Charles P. Taft,
brother Of the presdent-elect, from
the board of trustees of the church
of the Covenant, Presbyterian, has
been accepted at a meeting of the
trustees. Mr.. Taft also asked to be
released as one of those guarantee
ing the salary of the pastor Rev. Rob
ert L. Watson.
The action of Mr. Taft is the out
growth of an estrangement between
himself and Dir. Watson which had its
origin in a personal letter written to
a Chicago minister by Dr. Watson
some time before the presidential elec-
tion, in which DR.. Watson expressed
regret at the liberal religious views of
William H. Taft. A month ago Mrs.
Charles f. Taft withdrew from the
church.
