MAY BE TIED UP
PHILADELPHIA CONFERENCES
PROVE FAILURES
Quaker City Traction Company Re-
fuses to Give All Men Now
Out Their Old Po-
sitions
Associated Pressl

PHILADELPHIA, March 15.-"The
conferences with George II. Earle have
not resulted in any plan or suggestion
for the settlement of the car mems
strike, and negotiations are therefore
TO be considered ended" was the official
statement issued tonight by the gen.
eral strike committee of ten.
President e. L. Greenawalt of the
state Federation of Labor tonight is
sued a call to labor unions of the state
to take a general strike vote and hold
themselves in readiness to respond to
a call for the statewide sympathetic
strike authorized by the recent con-
vention of the state federation at New
Castle.
There was no change in the general
situation today. At the conclusion of
the conference Mr.. Earle, who is the
city's representative on the traction
company directorate said
"Nobody's position has been changed,
nor is there present prospect of settle
ment. The discussion, however, was
carried on in the very best spirit, and
I think each side now fully appreciates
the position of the other.
"The union wanted all the men not
only taken back but given their former
runs. Mr.. Kruger stated as definitely
as he could yesterday tnat tnlS would
involve a breach OF faith with the men
who had remained with the company,
and the company would never agree TO
the demand"
Woman Killed by Car
There were a number of accidents
today in one of which an unidentified
woman was struck by car and killed.
Officials of the transit company eX-
pressed their displeasure at Director
Earle for placing President Kruger in
a position of treating with the strik-
ers. A representative of the company
declared:
IF there was any chance-and there
really appeared to be a good one yes
terday-of clearing up this situation
and ending this strike by tomorrow
night, it has been totally killed by the
action of George II. Earle and Edward
Lowber Stokes"
William II. Shelmerdine, a member
of the rapid transit board, said:
Mr.. Earle has placed the board in
a very embarrassing position Mr..
Kruger attended the conference under
a Misrepresentation. Had he under
stood the reason for the call to Mr..
Earles Office and known whom he
was to meet there he would not have
gone"

4 AM READY AND GLAD TO
LEAVE U. S. SAYS PAULHAN
Aviator, Disguised Because of Patent
infringement Suits, to Fly
Here No More

NEW YORK, March 15-'I am ready
to leave and glad to leave this coun-
try" declared Louis Paulhan, the avia-
tor, today in reiterating his declara-
tion that he had made his last flight in
America and would return to France
by the first steamer.
Disguised with patent infringement
suits, Paulhan seemed to be in much
the same frame of mind as Henry
Farman, the other foreign aviator who
went back to Europe in a huff after
series of exhibitions here in the sum-
mer Of 1908.
Cleary obtained an injunction today
prohibiting Paulhan from taking with
him any of the four aeroplanes he
brought to this country. There are
two Bleriot and two Farman machines.
With his craft tied up and Cleary
threatening a damage suit for $150,000
friends tried to persuade the French
man to reconsider his decision, but he
was obdurate and was determined to
sail Thursday.

Salary from United
States
Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Wade II.
Ellis and his present relation to the
department of justice and the Repub-
llcan campaign in Ohio was freely dis
eussed in the house today.
Minority Leader Clark insisted on
knowing, in connection with appropria-
tions for the department of justice,
whether Mr.. Ellis had actually ceased
to draw his salary as assistant attorney
general since he had taken charge OF
the Ohio campaign.
Mr.. Tawney expressed confidence that
Mr.. Ellis no longer drew any salary
from the government.
This is not the first time that men
who obtained confidential information
in public office, which might be of
great value in the conduct of a cam
paign have been selected for such
duty" shouted Mr.. Fitzgerald of New
York.
MIR. Ellis has had an opportunity to
get information that can be very ValE-
able I'm frying the fat which is the
technical Republican expression, and
with that power he may save the pres
ident In his own state in the coming
campaign.
Il have been wondering what resi-
confidential information, is to be
brought out as the candidate of this
administration as the head of the Re-
publican campaign in that state"
Mr. Fitzgerald added that the infor-
nation gained by Mr.. Ellis through
his having conducted the Standard OIL
prosecution for the government would
be of value in getting contributions, es-
peciaily as the Standard Oil company
has not been without difficulties in
Ohio"
Mr. Tawney. declared Frank B. Kel-
logg had been in charge of the Standard
OIL prosecutions and not Wade Ellis
Wade Ellis is still on the pay roll
of the department of justice, and will
probably stay there" shouted Mr..
Weisse of Wisconsin, entering the
house from the Democratic cloak room,
where. he explained. he had telephoned
the department to get his information
about Mr.. Ellis.
Nh Longworth said that while Mr..
Ellis might still be on the pay roll of
the government, he knew Mr.. Ellis
would not draw any further salary on
that account.

Are the Children Ready?
SPEND $500, 900 IN OKLAHOMA.
Frisco, Rock Island and Santa Fe I'M
proves in Metropolis.

Oklahoma City, Sept. 15.-After
having been engaged in construction
work during the entire summer, the
Frisco, Rock Island and Santa Fee rail-
roads announce the practical compile
ton of approximately 5 miles of new
sidings, yards and terminals in Okla
homa City, and which early in Septem-
Der will be placed in use by the roads.
The Rock Island has constructed ex-
tensive terminals both east of the
junction of the road with the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas line east of the city,
and between the freight depot and the
roundhouse, the yards adding about
five miles to the terminal facilities of
the company in Oklahoma City.
The great increases of the year were
made necessary by the heavy increase
in traffic last fall which, owing to the
congested condition of the yards,
greatly hampered the work Of han
ding the freight business in Oklahoma
City.
1t is estimated that the volume of
expenditures by the three roads in
Oklahoma City during the year will
amount to more than 100000, the
Rock Island road having made an ex-
tensive addition to its freight depot
here and is remodeling and again plac-
ing in use the large roundhouse of
the company east of the city.
