RAILROAD MEN TO
CONFER WITH TAFT

Washington, January 2.-Six of the
great powers in the American railroad
world will be In Washington tomorrow
morning to define to President Taft the
attitude of the railroads toward proposed
amendments to the interstate commerce
law.
The President has held up his message
pending this hearing, as he is said to be
desrous of giving all the interests an op-
portunity to state their position, but the
special state paper dealing with the In
terstate commerce and antitrust laws
will be ready for Congress Wednesday.
The President last week received re-
quest for a hearing by the railroad pres
idents and readily granted 1t. He already
has given hearing to the shippers asso-
citation and to the interstate commerce
commission as to their views
The conference will be held at the
White House tomorrow morning at 8
o'clock, and will be attended by Presi-
dent Melin of the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad; President McCrea
of Pennsylvania President Lovett of the
Union Pacific and allied Hartman lines,
President Baer of the Philadelphia and
Reading railroad. President Finley of
the Southern railway and President
Brown OF the New York Central and Hud-
son River railroad Attorney General
Wickersham also will be present.
j. Pierpont Morgan's flying visit to the
White House last Friday morning is said
to have been in connection with the re-
quest of the railroad presidents for a
hearing.

TAFT MAKES CALL UPON
JUDGE HORACE LURTON

Washington, January 2.-President Taft
today took away the breath of those who
have maintained that the days of JET
fersonian simplicity have long departed
and that the administration is taking on
all the ceremonial of a European court,
when he calmly left the White House
and paid a call upon Judge Horace H.
Lurton, the newly arrived associate jus
tice of the supreme court. The affair
was unique in that it is the unwritten
law that new Official shall first pay
his call of respect at the White House.
The president afoot and accompanied
by Captain Butt practically unnoticed
made his way into one of the leading
hotels
He inquired for Judge Lurton, who is
an old friend, and when the hotel clerk
recovered from his surprise, it was dis
covered that the jurist had gone out for
a walk.

ing his disappointment. please tell him

man with only one free hand could have
tied the knots. The hands and rope were
both stained red, with some substance not
blood. The chair had been backed up
against pillar and the loose ends of the
knot that bound the body to the frame
had been knotted again behind the pill
lar. Thus the body was bound to the
chair and the chair bound to the pillar.
On the floor were a few loose coins.
There was no money in the pockets, one
of which had been turned inside out, and
Nathansons key to the loft was also
missing. His DESK which adjoined his
partners, was open and Uttered with torn
and crumpled paper. On a simple table
nearby was q woman's fur-lined kid
glove, torn and partly turned inside out.
The safe was locked. Near it lay Nath-
anson's hat and above 1t the gas lamp
had been broken.
Nathanson, SO far as is known, had no
reason to commit suicide. He was 40
years old, in the best of health, his busi-
ness was solvent and be lived happily
with his wife and daughter.
Two sons, Benjamin and John, are in
business at Fayetteville Tenn.
The police detained Gold. the partner,
on the strength of what they say Is a
disagreement between his own story of
his movements last night and that told by
his wife. However, before the coroner,
Gold was so frank and willing in his
statements that he was released in $1,000
bail.
The loft where the body was found is
in the downtop,-. district.

brought here late tonight, charged with
having opened a switch and wrecked the
Knicserbocker special train on the Big
Four at Dawn, Ohio, last night.

rob the passengers and go to some sea-
board town where he could ''join the

were on the scene of the wreck soon
after it occurred. Several men were held.

pected were released.
Plessinger related, the police said, that
he had opened the switch when he saw
the train coming, by breaking the lock,
and then had climbed up signal tower
and put out the light.
When he saw the locomotive crash into
a building at the side of the track and
the passengers climb out Of the coaches
he ran to the house of his grandfather
in the town. Later he returned, he said,
and helped take the engineer and fireman
out of the wreckage of the locomotive
cab.

tion for five hours, the police said but
finally screamed II done 1t; done it,
Today, while the wrecking crew was
working to clear the track, Plessinger

New York, January 2.-Sunday was re-

number of deaths by violence and acei-

GOOD WORK DONE
ON PANAMA CANAL

Washington, January 2.-Construction
work on the Panama canal is not only
proceeding splendidly, but the system of
administration is excellent In spite of the
criticism directed to it. This is the con-
sensus of opinion of the senatorial COM
mittee which returned to washington to-
day on the dispatch boat Dolphin after a
visit of inspection to the canal zone. In
the party were Senators Oliver. Penrose,
Carter, Dixon, Hepburn and Clark.
Senator oliver was especially impressed
with the manner in which the work Is be-
ing carried on. The system of stirring
rivalry between the army and civilian
engineers and workers has resulted in
stimulating work. he said.
The judgment of the party is that no
change in the existing system should be
contemplated and all praised the man
agerial abilities of Colonel Goethals, the
engineer in charge. Tho practical una :
ninity of the senate committee Is expected
to cast blight over the Legislation pro-
posed In a bill offered in the house by
Representative Mann of Illinois.
The bill provides for a change in the
government Of the canal zone and the
abolition of the Panama Canal commits

New York, January 2.-Mayor Gaynor

Robert Adamson, his list Of appointments,

and an account Of his relations with
Charles F. Murphy. leader of Tammany
Hall. The latter follows:

which I should do was nominated with
out even a suggestion being made as to
what I should do as mayor. Since cleo
tion Mr. Charles F. Murphy has called on
me three times, each time asking me to
appoint the best men to be found. His
suggestions were few; he urged nothing,
and kept saying to me that the responsi-
bility was solely with me.
'I fear there are a good many people
in this town who do not know Charles

some OF them naive, it was announced,

own, although he did not say they were
issued without as sanction. Some OF
them are conspicuous IN d formal ststc-
