in wage controversies with their en-
ployers. 1 am not advised as to what
the grievance is which has occasioned
the strike of which Mr.. White writes.
He does not state. 1 presume it refers
to wages. If so, the Erdman act may
cover the situation satisfactorily.
Again, we have had upon the Kan
sas statute book for over twenty years,
a voluntary arbitration act, by which
workmen having a dispute with their
employers in the manufacturing, me-
chanical mining or other industries of
the state may petition the district
court for the establishm ent of an ar
bitration tribunal to settle such con-
troversies, and the decision of such
tribunal is final except for fraud, acci-
dent or mistake. This law appears as
section 372 ct seq, General Statutes OF
1909. I do not recall that this act has
ever been invoked, but it looks practi-
cable on it's face, and this may be a
good opportunity to try it out. If 1t
is ineffective for the wise purposes of
it's enactment, its defects will speedily
come to light in actual operation and
these could be corrected at the COM
ing session of the legislature.
eff I can serve you or the parties
to this controversy, my services will
be cheerfully Forthcoming Meantime

investigator to look into the matters
complained of by Mr.. White and to

LOYAL TO THE LAST.
DIR. Crippen's Father Died Proclaiming
the Sons Innocence.

Los Angeles, Nov. 18-Myron H. Grip
pen, the aged father of DR.. Hawley H.
Crippen, under sentence of death in
London for the murder of his wife died
today in this city, friendliness and PEN
niless. His death due to the infirmities
of age was hastened by grief over his
sons crime.
Los Angeles, Nov. 18.-The elder
Crippen, whose death occurred in a
rooming house in this city this morn
ing, was 80 years old. The only per-
son at his bedside was the proprietress
of the place. HawIey Crippen, a son
of DR.. Crippen, was with the aged man
during the night but left before death
occurred. Hawley Crippen is employ
ed by a local telephone company and
is married.
DR.. Crippen was the sole support of
his aged father. Since the formers
flight from London with Ethel Leneve
no remittance has come. Before that
time letters containing money came
regularly and the old man lived in
comparative comfort.
Facing actual starvation, he was
finally saved by few persons whom
he knew during his residence in Los
Angeles. The landlady of the rooming
house gave him a room and restaur-
ant keeper at which place he had been
accustomed to buy his meals supplied
them free.
The old man believed implicitly in the
innocence of his son. A short time
before death last night he said to those
about him:
'It won't be long now before I go.
But my boy is innocent, he is good
boy
Ever since the finding of the body in
the cellar of DR.. Crippens London
house the aged father had followed the
news of his sons fight, capture and
conviction.
He would never admit the possibility
of his sons guilt nor did he betray the
fact that DR.. Crippen's troubles had
cut off his only means of support.

MARATHON IS SCARED.
Hears That Armed Mexicans Are

Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 1S.-A telegram
to the Herald from Alpine this after
noon says that Sheriff Walton of that
place has been called to Marathon by
citizens as a result of the report that
sixty armed Mexicans are marching on
the town, but that Alpine citizens do
not give much credence to the rumor.
kilograms from Maria say that
nothing is known there of the report
that Mexicans are marching on Mara
thon and that all reports of that kind
have emanated from Marathon.
The first report from Marathon had
been that the news of the Mexicans
had come from Maria.
Nevertheless the excitement con-
tinues at Marathon. Armed men
guarded the town all night. The scouts
sent out to lyook for the Mexicans have
not returned. 1t is believed that the
scare is grOundleSS.
