DISPUTE IS NEAR
BREAKING POINT
Railroads and Engineers I'm
able to Get Together.
BOTH SIDES OBSTINATE

Only Point at Issue Said to Be a
TrifIing Percentage of the Present
Wage Schedule, but Neither the En-
pIoyers Nor the Employees Are Will
ing to Make Eurther CONCESSIONS
Negotiations May End Any Moment.
Chicago, Dec. ~24.-The situation in
the wage dispute between the Brother
hood Of Locomotive Engineers and the
sixty-one railroads west, north and
south Of Chicago has become critical
and it is admiated in all quarters that
a sudden break in negotiations would
not be entirely unexpected.
None Of the 1parties to the contro-
versy-the board of railway managers,
Grand Chief Warren S. Stone of the
brotherhood or Mediator Charles P.
Neill-would say anything touching
on the situation.
Elsewhere it was learned that de-
spite the fact that the two parties are
at issue on only trif1ing percentage
of the present wage schedule each
side sees in the efforts of the other a
matter OF grave import which over
shadow the mere dollars and cents in
VOlVed and hence each is unwilling to
come farther. It was learned that
both sides had advanced closer to a
compromise than they were when Me-
diatOr Neill was called in.
Then the engineers were asking an
approximate increase in wages of Is
per cent and the railroads were Offer
ing approximately 97A per cent.
It was unof1icially admitted this diff
ference had been cut more than half.
However, the suggestion of the rail
roads that the whole matter go to ar
filtration under the Erdman act stirred
up new trouble. it was said.
The engineers were said to be will
ing for arbitration, but only on the
existing differences. There is ikelf
hood, according to unquestionassle au-
thority, Of break in any direction at
any time.

LATEST VICTIM OF THE AIR
Cecil Grace Believed to Have Per.

London, Dec. 24.-The name of
Cecil Grace, nephew of the late Mayor
W. R. Grace of New York, was tenta-
lively added to the list of victims OF
the air, which, without including him,
already numbers thirty five.
Flashing out over the French coast
in his aeroplane he headed for Eng
land. An hour later he was seen
above the death sucking Goodwin
sands on the coast of England, ap-
parently lost as to sense or direction.
He was headed for the North sea.
Since then no word has come from
the aviator and 1T is believed he has
persisted.
Strict search Of the English coast
has revealed no trace of Grace.
In the hope that his engines would
keep up and that he might have re-
crossed the channel and made either
the French, Belgian or Dutch coasts
they have been closely watched by
vessels and coast guardsmen, but

The first and second division of the

ST. PAUL'S POPULATION PIAZZA
Federal Census Shows Gains of More
Than $4,000.

st. Paul, Aug. 6.-The population of
st. Paul, according to the federal CEN
sus of 1910, is Plata. This is an
increase of 51,679 over the federal
census of 1909, when St. Paul was
given population figure of 1906.
This is a gain of 31.7 per cent.
The state census in 1905 gave St.
Paul population of 197,O25 and the
result of the federal canvass an
nounced today shows a gain of 1919
during the last five years.
Since 1908 the results of the direc-

higher than the federal canvass this
year places it. In 1908 the st. Paul

known as the McMurray contracts, by
which, according to Senator Gore
100000 or ten per cent of 100000
to be realized from the sale of Indian

He denied he had ever mentioned
Vice President Sherman, Senator

being interested" in the contracts,
as charged by Senator Gore.
He denied he had ever spoken of a

He denied that at the time the con-

asserting his charge that he had been

to influence his action in congress, and
with Jake l.. Hamon, accused by the

saw him frequently, but at this time
! believe he took me up into the library
of the senate and closed the doors
He wanted to talk over with me his
coming campaign, and see how could
help him out financially. Although
am Republican and he a Democrat
was in the habit of helping him out ;
Asked to detail some of his business
deals, Hamon said several years ago
at Lawton, when the government de-
cided to sell at public auction some
lands belonging to the Indians, he,
Senator Gore, and others, entered into
a combination not to bid against each
other so that the property might be
obtained cheaply. All of them secured
some of the land he said.
Violated the Law?
In some of his business transactions
with Senator Gore, Hamon testified,
money loans were involved.
"Just before congress adjourned"
said Hamon, 'the senator came to me
and said he had to pay $4,000 which
he owed to Senator Owen. He had
81 900 of the cash and he wanted me
to raise the other $4,000 for him from
a client of mine."'
Explaining what he was doing in
Washington at the time when Senator
Gore said he was offering brides, Ha-
mon said he was attending, among
other things, to the interests of Gov.
c. N. Haskell, of Oklahoma, who was
under federal indictment in the Musko-
gee town lot case. Senator Gore had
introduced a resolution asking that
the senate committee that had been
appointed to investigate the third
degree" methods practiced in various
parts of the country, he also empow-
cred to investigate the circumstances
leading up to the Indictment of Gov
ernOr Haskell.

nocence.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. 6.-United States
Senator Charles Curtis left for Musko-
gee, where he was called by the Nc
Murray investigating committee.
Senator Curtis, before he left To-
peka, said:
II shall tell the committee that
President Taft sent for Vice-Presidept
Sherman and myself in order to dis
cuss this Indian matter and as result
of that conference and acting on the
advice of Mr.. Sherman and myself the
president decided he would not open
the rolls nor would he further con-
slider the matter of placing his ap-
proval on the contract which the law
yers, McMurray and Long, for the big
fee claimed in the sale of the Indian
lands. The conferences with Presi- !
dent Taft should alone set at rest any
further consideration of the vague
charges made by Senator Gore in this
matter. We have proof beyond the
shadow OF a doubt as to our standing
in this case"
