R.FOR PROCRESSIvES
IN OHIO FIGHT
Admits His Stand After Talk With
InSurgent Candidate.

Theodore Roosevelt hopes the Ohio
Republicans will adopt a progressive
platform, but. taking an attitude in line
with that of President Taft, he de-
clines to exert influence for any candi-
date in the ante-convention situation.
He made this plain in New York af-
ter conference with Judge Reynolds
kinkade, of Toledo, who was regarded
as the second choice of those Ohio Re
publicans who are supporting James
r. Garfield, ex-secretary of the inter-
ior, for the gubernatorial nomination.
1t is understood that Mr. Garfield had
a hand in Judge Kinkade's visit and
that Garfield's supporters have agreed
to throw their strength to the judge If
Mr.. Garfield is not nominated.
Neither Colonel Roosevelt nor Judge
Kinkade would discuss their confer
ence, nor would either of them reveal
the contents of the letter which Judge
Kinkade bore from President Taft,
with whom he talked on Sunday. Colo
mel Roosevelt virtually admitted, how
ever, that his approval of the candi-
dacy of Judge Kinkade for the Repub-
lican nomination for governor of Ohio
had been sought, when he said:
Il cannot support any candidate for
a nomination. | can only say that
hope a progressive platform will be
adopted in Ohio

Physicians Cannot Determine
Sex Of Corpse.
NO TRACE OF THE DOCTOR
Several Witnesses Recited the Known
Details of the Crime, But Nothing
New Was Brought Out.

Interest in the mysterious murder
of which DR.. Hawley Harvey Crippen,
formerly a resident of Brooklyn. N.
Y, is suspected, centered in the in
quest in London, Eng. over the body
that is believed to be that of Belle
Elmore. the physicians actress wife.
While an unremitting search was
made in New York, Philadelphia,
France and Great Britain for Crippen.
the inquest opened with the hope that
physicians and experts would be able
to clear away some of the mystifying
circumstances of the case.
Instead of clarifying the situation,
the inquest only enveloped the crime
in deeper mystery. Far from estab-
fishing the identity of the victim found
in Crippens cellar buried in quick
lime, the physicians were unable to
state definitely even that the portions
of the body recovered We're those of
woman.
The formal evidence adduced at the
inquest added nothing material to
what was already generally known.
The only startling fact developed was
that the experts were not even in a
position to state definitely whether
the boneless mass of flesh lug up un-
der the cellar floor was that of a wo-
man. Because of this it was decided
to adjourn the inquest for month to
give DR.. Pepper, examiner in surgery
at the Royal Army Medical college.
opportunity to make a complete ex-
animation of the pieces of flesh.
Several witnesses recited the history
of the known occurrences surround
ing the tragedy from the time that
suspicion first fell upon DR.. Crippen to
the hour of his flight and the discov-
cry of the body.

stove and turning on the gas
The lifeless body of the woman was

she was Crippen's housekeeper. Later
the inspector went to Crippen's Office
and had a talk with the doctor.
At this time, the witness said the
doctor admitted that all of the things
which he had previously told of his
wife's death were untrue. He said he
had quarreled with Mrs. Crippen on
the night of Jan. 81. and that following
the quarrel she had left him. saying
that she intended to join man who,
the doctor said, he believed lived in
Chicago.
With the body uncovered IN the eel
lar, the inspector said. he found a
piece of string and mans handker-
chief, which might have been used to
strangle the victim, including the
jacket of suit of pajamas, the trou.
sers of which were subsequently found
in an upper room of the house.
The witness added that he had not
heard word from Crippen or Ethel

STRIKE LEADERS
Reject PEACE
Offer Of Arbitration Refused In
Grand Trunk Dispute.
$4,000 MEN NOW OUT

,
ing 10000 Uninterested Workmen
Into dleness-Freieht Traffic Tied
Up.
Were the arbitrators now. There
has been sufficient arbitration, and |
don't think there will be any more"
said Vice President Murdoch, of the
Order of Railway Trainmen, at Mon
treal when the proposition of the min
lister of labor for arbitration of the
Grand Trunk strike was broached to
him.
Vice President Berry. who is as
sisting Murdoch, expressed a similar
opinion. Both said the matter had
gone too far for arbitration.
The offer of the minister of labor,
on behalf of the government. was to
appoint a board of arbitration on the
trouble between the company and its
employees, the finding to be binding on
both, and the government to bear all
expenses in connection herewith The
offer was submitted in the form of a
letter to President Hays of the Grand
Trunk, and to the head officials of the
unions involved, and is now under con
sideraton by them. 1t is thought that
from the fact that President Hays had
already made an offer to arbitrate the
difficulty, that the company at least
will accede to the proposal.
Advices from all divisional points
of the Grand Trunk in Canada, and
from Port Huron and Detroit, indicate
that the company is having greater
difficulty in keeping its trains moving
than was at first apparent, At some
points no tickets are being sold be
cause of the inability of the company
to guarantee a complete journey.
Freight jams are reported at Toron'
to, Hamilton and other points, while
the yards at Montreal are lined with
freight which the company is unable
to move An official of the company
predicts that the entire train service
will be resumed within forty-eight
hours, basing his prediction. he said
upon the company's apparent ability TO
secure all the new men it wants.
Many of the men shut out of the
shops have taken train service, and
the union officials bitterly denounce
the company for closing the shops at
this time and thereby forcing 10000
men into idleness. They declare that
such a move will be ample justifica'
tion for a sympathetic strike of the
engineers and telegraphers, although
there is no indication of any such
move
The latest calculation of the mum
Der of men rendered idle by the strike
and lockout runs to 10000. About 100,'
600 others are indirectly affected.
Union officials here say that the OBJ.
ject of the Grand Trunk in closing its
shops is to force these shop employees,
many of whom are old trainmen, to
take the strikers places. The union
officials add that If this is the inten.
ton, it will not succeed.

Avenoers Kill Wrong Man.

Albert Lehr. thirty eight years old.
was killed by five Italians, employed
on a section gang, while he was stand
ing on the platform of the Lake Shore
depot at Kendallville, Ind.
The shooting is thought to be the
outcome of the accidental killing of
an Italian by a Lake Shore freight
train three weeks ago. The Italians
blamed the engineer and threatened
vengeance against him. Lehr was
probably mistaken for the engineer.

Pieces of flesh, he said, had given
rise to some debate among the medi

said that micros6opical examination,

Agree to Change in Working
Conditions.
ADOPT MILEAGE PAY SYSTEM
Ten Hours to Be a Days Work and
High Pay Runs rotected-EmpIoyes
Guaranteed Twenty-six Days Work
Each Month.

A tentative settlement of the Penn
sylvania railroad wage dispute was
reached at long conference in Phila-
delphia between General Manager
Myers and the subcommittee of the
employees Both sides feel confident
that a plan of settlement has been
reached, and only the appearance of
some new differences in the working
out of details can prevent an amicable
agreement.
The terms Of the settlement have
the New York Central award as a
basas The company will effect
change in the working conditions,
changing from the "trip" system of
pay to the mileage" system. Men
now holding runs with high pay are to
be protected. A minimum of ten
hours as a days work is to be estab-
lished, and the six hour minimum is
to be abolished. Men are guaranteed
twenty-six working days a month.
The men assert that the settlement
is due to a clearing up of misunder.
standings. The company asserts it has
made no concessions other than those
offered six weeks ago
No further conferences are to be
held between the committee and Gen
eral Manager Myers, unless some un-
foreseen developments arise. The de
tails of the plans of settlement will
now be taken up by the representa-
tives of the several divisions with the
general division superintendent, to be
worked out as they apply to the condi-
tions of the particular divisions. There
are seven general divisions of the sys

diately after the conference left the
city on the Pennsylvania eighteen
hour limited for Cedar Rapids, to at
tend a meeting of the board of direc
tors of his organization.
w G. Lee, president of the Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen, will re
main in the city for a few days to be
on hand in case his presence is re
quired.
Both sides deny that any marked
concessions We're made. Officials of the
company declare that what the men
wanted was $4.04 for minimum day
of ten hours and what they got was
$3.63.
The men say the clearing up of mis-
understandings marked the coming to-
gether of both sides. They point to
President McCrea's statement issued
last Friday as proving to them that
the company misunderstood the de-
mands of the men.
At both conferences all efforts to
impress General Manager Myers with
the contention that the company had
always educated it's men to expect
higher pay for the same class of work
done by men on competing lines was
abandoned. The men now declare the
only concessions to be granted was on
the amount of pay on overtime, in
which they accepted 81 cents an hour,
instead of 40 cents an hour
A. b. Garrettson declares that all
the men asked was a change in the
working conditions, which they OBJ
tanned.
