Washington, D. G. Especially. 80
Within few days 1t will probably
be known whether the entire South
eastern section of the country east
OF the Mississippi will be involved
in serious railroad strike. The
presidents of IS railroad lines were
hastily called into consultation with
Chairman Knapp, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission and Commits
sioner of Labor Neill, and stayed in,
session all day. The situation Is
admitted on all sides to be acute.
The situation grows out of con-
troversy between the Southern Rail-
way, the Seaboard Air Line and the
Atlantic Coast Line and their afiliat-
ed lines, including the Queen And,
Crescent Road, and their conductors
and brakemen. The latter nave de-
manded material advance in wages
approximating 20 per cent. They
have already taken vote to strike
unless their demands are complied
with
About two weeks ago the general
manager of the roads and the repre-
sentatives of the conductors and
brakemen agreed to submit their dif-l
ferenoes to Chairman Knapp and
Commissioner of Labor Neill, the
mediators under the Erdman Act,
the terms of which act provided for
the settlement of disputes between
common carriers and their employees.
Hearings have been given to the rep
resentative of the men, some 200 in
number, and the 10 general mana
gers. Harvey Barker, general mana
ger of the Queen and Crescent, being
the chairman Of the managers COM
mittee.
Practically no Roadway was made,
the railroad managers asserting that
their earnings would not allow OF
the increase demanded. The men
were obdurate, and it appeared that
break would occur, and the rep
resentatives of the conductors and
brakemen would send kilograms or
dering the men to walk out.
At this juncture it was decided to
call in the presidents of the roads,
and this was done. President Fin
ley of the Southern Railway; Presi-
dent Emerson, of the Atlantic Coast
Line, and President Medium, of the
Seaboard Air Line-the chief lines
and the presidents of the other lines
were in conference with the Media
ton Board all day, and it appears
that little progress was made, and
that unless one side or the other
makes concessions the entire south
eastern section of the country will be
involved in a serious strike.
The men have urged that, mas
much as the conductors and other
trainmen on Northern and Eastern
lines have received increases. it is
only right they should receive the
same treatment, n view Of the in
creased cost of living.
While neither side will discuss
the situation, it is known that.
though the mediators admit that it
is serious, they have not yet given
up hope of bringing the two sides
together and avoiding a strike.

by Court Proceedings

COLVILLE, Wash, Jan. 14-Cumu-
lative evidence introduced today in the
trial Of James Logan. accused of muir
dering his housekeeper, Mrs. Jansen,
and cremating the body, seemingly had
no effect on the defendant.
Logan, differing from most people,
who would be worried by the legal bat
tie for life, acts as If he found some
humor in the proceedings.
During today's session he keenly
watched the handling of the bits Of
bones found in the embers of the fire
which he is said to have started to
burn the woman's body.
At the conclusion of the testimony of
doctors, who declared them to be hui

What are you going to do with
them?" he was asked.
"To have those bones hauled away"
answered the old man.

URER AND OTHERS
Charles Heike First "Higher-up" So
Far Implicated in Underweigh-
lng Frauds-Five More
Face Charge
Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The first
higher up in the sugar frauds was
named today by the federal grand jury
investigating, and Charles b. Heike,
secretary and treasurer of the Amerl-
can Sugar Refining company, was in
dicted on charges of conspiracy to de-
fraud and of making false entries.
Harry w. Walker, assistant super
irtendent of the Williamsburg docks
OF the company, also was indicted, as
were other employees of the company
against whom indictments previously
have been found.
In the new indictments Heike and
Walker are accused with Ernest w.
Gerbrecht, former general superinten-
dent of the Williamsburg refinery;
James Bendernagel, former cashier;
James M. Voelker and James F. Halli-
gan, checkers, of making false entries
regarding four cargoes of sugar at the
customs house.
The defendants are further accused
of having conspired with Oliver w.
Splitter and the four checkers recently
sentenced to Blackwells Island, to de-
fraud the government through the I'M
derweighing of sugar.
All Under Bail
When the indictment was handed up
to Judge Hough in the federal circuit
court Special Prosecutor Felix Frank
furter said that bench warrants were
not necessary, as all the defendants
excepting Heike and Walker are under
bail on similar charges.
1t is expected that Heike and Walker
will surrender themselves tomorrow.
The new indictment contains six
counts-four of effecting false entries
and two of conspiracy. Under the first
conspiracy eighteen overt acts are
charged against the various defendants.
Under one of the counts it is charged
that Charles r. Heike on July 20, 1907,
in pursuance of the conspiracy, in
dorsed check for Sill drawn on the
assistant treasurer of the United States
by the acting disbursing agent in the
customs collectors office to the order
of the American Sugar Refining COM
pany,' this sum being alleged to be the
excess of deposits of duty, while in
truth it was portion of the duties
lawfully due the United States.
A second similar charge is made
against Heike with regard to a check
for $2701,
Henry Wise, federal district attorney.
said tonight that the government had
no present intention of instituting any
proceedings against the American
Sugar Refining company under the
Sherman antitrust law.

BROTHERS ARE SEEKING
DIVORCES FROM TWINS

To be born together, to be married
within one year OF each other, and to
enter the divorce court as defendants al
most simultaneously would seemingly be
carrying the similarity of fatefuI events
In two lives to extremes, but these ex-
tremes have been reached by Annice and
Annie woodward, twins.
The continuity of the sameness estab-
lished at birth was maintained when the
twins married brothers, Annie marrying
Eugene woodward at West Point, Neb.,
In 1898, and Annice being welded to ia
son woodward at Wheeler, S. D., in
April, 1900.
Now, it Is alleged by the husbands,
that their wives have deserted them, and
both men have retained Attorney Wins
low p. Hyatt to procure, If possible,
legal separation in the divorce court.
Jason Woodyard's suit was filed Wednes-
day and that of Eugene yesterday.

OBSERVE PROBATION OR
GO TO JAIL, SAYS COURT
Judge Willis Refuses TO Grant Second
Chance to Youth Previ-
ousIy Convicted

No granting of probationary SEN
fences a second time was the fiat an
nounced by Judge Willis of the crimi-
nal court yesterday. The announce
ment was made before passing sem
tence of three years in San Quentin on
Joseph Den, charged with violating the
provisions of his probationary sentence
by drinking and passing fictitious
checks.
Den was arrested in July, 1908, ac-
cused of the grand larceny of val
liable diamond ring belonging to j.
Macowsky and was placed on proba-
tion for three years by Judge Jamison.
This court has adopted the rule"
said Judge Willis yesterday, "that I'M
less extreme circumstances are shown
probation will not be granted a second
time
The enforcement of this rule, added
Judge Willis, is absolutely necessary
in order tIat probationers may be de-
tered from committing further Of

INCLUDE JUNK
IN BIG ESTATE
BALLERlN0 APPRAISERS MAKE
REPORT
Late Crib King Accumulated consid-
cradle Property by Saving Small
Articles Considered Almost
Worthless

The total value of the estate left by
Bartolo Ballerino, the late crib king"
is $143271.S1, according to the inventory
and appralsement prepared by William
NJ. Curran, Louis Sentous, jr, and e. A.
De Camp, appraisers appointed by
Judge Rives of the superior court. The
result of their investigation of the prop
erty left by Ballerino was filed in the
probate court yesterday and will be
considered by Judge Rives some time
next week.
Evidences of Ballerino's thrift are
contained In the inventory, pieces of Old
furniture, appraised at small value, old
carpets and quilts regarded by the APP
praisers as worthless being included in
the long list of articles making up
page after page of the report. One
item is a pine board, valued at 10
cents; another, eight chairs at 10 cents
each. The old zinc bat tub in which
Ballerino performed his ablutions is
valued at 20 cents by the appraisers,
and nine pool tables range In value
from $15 to SIS each. For the greater
part the report enunerateS the cheap
furnishings of the abandoned cribs.
Nine parcels of real estate are re-
ported, ranging from $44.74 for a lot
near Arcadia to $S5,9O0 for a lot and
improvements at the northwest corner
of Alameda and Also streets. The
amount of money disbursed is shown
by the report to be $2992.24, and there
Is on hand $260.32.
The judgment of $4,000 awarded by
Judge Monroe several months ago to
Charles H. Roop in the latter's suit
against Ballerino for damages on ac-
count of personal injuries will, it is
expected, be settled by the payment of
So5O0 from the estate An offer to settle
for this sum has been made by Roop
to the administrators, and its accept
ance recommended by the latter. Roops
suit was based on injuries sustained
when he was bitten by vicious dog
belonging to Ballerino.

DECIDES NEITHER SIDE IS
ENTITLED TO DAMAGES
Judge Hervey NuIIlfles Suit In Which
Carpenter and Fuller Conn.,
pany Sue Each other

Judge Hervey of the superior court
decided yesterday that neither party to
the suit of A. Carpenter against the
w. P. Fuller company, in which heavy
damages were demanded on each side
for the alleged failure to carry out the
terms of a cement contract, was enti-

so 900 barrels of cement at $3.50 a bar
rel. The first shipment Of 80. 900 barrels

ENORMOUS DAMAGE REPORTED
DONE BY FREEZE AND SNOW

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-With greater
force of the storm spent and moving
on to the east, dispatches from the
Mississippi and Ohio valleys tell of
enormous damage wrought by cold and
heavy snow during the last three days.
Even with a thaw in sight great APP
prehension is felt in many cities on
river banks.
At st. Louis, $25O,OOO estimated dam
age has been caused by an ice gorge.
Conditions there are declared to be the
worst in twenty-five years.
Farther west, in Nebraska, hundreds
of cattle are dying from the cold In
Michigan and Wisconsin traffic cendi-
tions are almost demoralized.
In Chicago, where there has been a
great scarcity of fuel, the situation is
not promising, although railroad man
ayers believe that by tomorrow some
relief will be possible.
Milk shipments to Chicago are tied
up and many dealers have announced
they will deliver only in the morning,
and then only to homes where there
are babies.

PLOT BROKEN
GOVERNMENT ADOPTS SEVERE
MEASURES
HEADS OF CORPS RELIEVED OF
COMMANDS
Plan to EmbroiI Factions Is Frustrat-
ed, and Action Receives
Approval of the
Press
Associated Pressl


MADRID, Jan. 1.-THE government
has adopted severe measures following
manifestation by army officers in front
of a newspaper office which has been
waging a campaign with regard to
the distribution of honors to troops In
the Melilla campaign.
Count de Villareal. captain general
of Madrid, has been removed, and all
heads of army corps of which the man
ifestants were members have been re-
lieved of their commands. Several
have been sent to the fortress.
The manifestation, it is said, was
a plan of the conservatives to embroil
the army with the government.
Prince Is Arrested
Prince Pignatelli, alleged to have
been involved in the recently discov-
cred plot through which the conser-
vatives are said to have aimed to en-
broil the army with the government,
was arrested today. The Liberal press
strongly approves the action taken by
the government. The Liberal says the
measures were severe, but ind1s-
pensable.
Eel Pals says the plot was designed
to force the resignation of Minister
fall of Premier Moret Prendergast
and his cabinet.
The articles in the Correspondence
Militar, which revealed the plot were
written by Senior Llorens, a Carlist
deputy and office, under a pseudonym,
The issue of the paper was suppressed,
whereupon army officers made dem
onstration in front of the newspaper
offices.
The police raided the offices and on
the evidence found the cabinet was
hurredly assembled under the presi
dency of King Alfonso, who sanctioned
the removal of Count de Villar as cap
tain general of Madrid and the arrest
OF the officers implicated.
Troops in Readiness
That the affair had widespread rami-
fications was indicated by the subse-
quent removal last night of the cap
tains general of Valencia, Valladolid
and Corona.
Dispatches from Barcelona report
much excitement there. The troops are
held in readiness at their barracks.
The origin of the trouble was the
complaint against the system of adj
vancement for army officers which was
made upon the recommendations of
persons of high rank, among whom
Prince Pignatelli was the leader. Sew
eral army units are affected, but to
what extent Is not known.
Minister of War Luque admits that
the situation is grave. According to
the Temps the cabinet is between two
fires; on the one hand the Republic
cans and Radicals, on the other the

The presentation of Robertson's
comedy David Garricls," by Leonard
G.. Nattkemper at the Y. NJ. C. A. aud
itorium last night drew huge aud

would have done credit to an aviation

Mr.. Wattkemper's Interpretation of
the characters of David Garrick and
Simon Ingot was especially well re-
ceived, and he was called back at the
close of each act. Robertson's comedy
makes a heavy test of the versatility
of a reader, and Mr.. Nattkemper's re-
ception left no doubt as to the approval
of his audience. Under his direction
scenes from Shakespeare's Merchant

ARREST RESULTS IN
LOSS OF POSITION
Woman Charged with Failure to Pro-
vide Earns Sympathy of Judge
When Her Plight Is
Known

Mrs. Marie Bloberger, widow living
at 721 Santee street, was in Justice
Summerfleld's court yesterday charged
by J, L. Starr, a dairy inspector, with
falling to provide for her two minor
children. Mrs. Bloberger was arrested
Tuesday and remained in the county
Jail all night. She vas released
Wednesday morning by Justice Sum
merfield when he heard her story, but
when she reached her place of employ
ment she was told the story of her
arrest had preceded her and she was
discharged. The discharge meant the
loss of a position paying 81 a week.
When Mrs. Bloberger entered the
court room about the noon hour yester-
day she carried q small parcel. Sitting
In a. corner of the empty chamber she
opened the parcel, disclosing two
crackers. 1t was her MONDAY meal,
and she ate it, not as a defense of her
position nor to arouse sentiment, but
because she was hungry.
Mrs Bloberger was without an at
torney because she was without money.
The proceedings were beyond her COM
prehension, and she could not under
stand why she was arrested for failing
to provide for her children when she
had barely enough to support herself.
The children, she said, had been taken
by a charitable organization receiving
state assistance, and were well cared
for. How her arrest and the loss of
her wages would benefit them was
puzzling.
The preliminary examination was
continued by Justice Summerfield I'M
cused was alone and there were q
number of persons present to testify
for the prosecution, the latter was not
ready to proceed. Justice Summerfield
again ordered the woman's release on
her own recognizance, and she left the
court room for her home, still wonder
ing over the peculiarities of justice.
