ISOLATION of Street and Electric Railway
Employees, division No. 50, and the Of
fcials of the Pittsburg Railway company
were in conference again today in Il
final effort to reach an agreement on
wages. working conditions and recogni-
ton of the union.
The union men have almost unanimous
ly rejected the company's proposition of
a three-year contract with Il 3 per cent.
increase and have placed an adjustment
of the differences entirely up TO an ex-
ecutive committee.
The men ask Il 31a per cent increase
on Il three-year wage contract. The
company is willing, it is reported, to
meet the increase on a three-year CON
tract. but will not recognize the action
as an answer TO union demand.
1t is declared that the conference will
determine whether strike will be called
should the car company still hold out
against the union. Should strike of
the street car employees take place, about
$500 men will be affected

Executive Committee of Philadelphia
Union Holds Session to Clear
Traction Misunderstanding.

PHILADELPHIA Pa, April 20. -
After "A conference which lasted prac
tically all of Tuesday night, the eXecu-
tive committee of the street carmens
local union went into session again to-
day in an endeavor to clear away the
misunderstanding Of the terms of set
tement which ended the car strike in
this city. {. A. Pratt, national organ
izer of the carmen's union, who conduct
ed the strike, returned here today from
Detroit and attended the meeting.
The Philadelphia Rapid Transit com
pany has announced that the men who
turned in their badges and collected back
wages during the strike cannot be classed
as strikers and therefore do not come
within the settlement agreement which
provided that all strikers should be rein
stated and those not given regular runs
shall be paid 50 Il day. The strike lead
ers and the men generally take the oppo-
site view.
Because of the situation thus created.
hut few of the strikers have returned to
the cars. the men apparently waiting

TO make parliamentary inquiry soon aft

Has the House yet heard that the
Second district of New York had an cleo

When the Democratic demonstration,

Answering the parliamentary inquiry,

added prophetically.

VARYING ZERO MARKS.
Fahrenheit in It's Relation to Centigrade
and Reaumur Scales.

The chief popularity of the Fahren-
het thermometer is that when it marks
zero there are at that moment just 30
degrees of frost in the air. which is 4
fair start for a cold day. But when 80
degrees of frost are added, by the drop
OF the mercury this much below Fahren-
helts arbitrary zero mark, as is fire.
quently the case in various parts of our
country, what folks are really getting is
81 degrees of frost.
As a matter of fact, the point where
things begin to freeze or to thaw is the
natural dividing line and not Fahren-
heits zero mark. which does not enter
INTO consideration until things have been
frozen up to the extent of 81 degrees,
says the Boston Globe. In other words
when one is told how cold 1t Is he should
really be Informed as to the amount of
all the frost and not merely Il part
thereof, Just as when things begin to
warm up one would like to know just
how warm it is from the freezing point.
and not, as with the Fahrenheit Their
mometer, be obliged to subtract 81 de-
greeS OF nonresident frost, in July. say,
IN order to learn the truth.
1t follows, therefore, that the truly
sensible thermometers are those known
rs the centigrade and the Reaumur.
Both take the points at which water
freezes and water boils as points fixed by
nature. The space between these two
points is divided on the centigrade Their
mometer into 100 degrees and on the
Reaumur into SO degrees. The division
into 100 degrees is probably better than
that into so degrees. but only for the
reason that so many things in this world
are divided by tens and hundreds that
most of us are more or less accustomed
TO the decimal system.
Both the centigrade ana the Reaumur
Thermometers are honest and accurate in
marking zero just at that point on the
tube where there is actually nothing
dom" as between heat and cold

FOREST KEEPS SECRET
ROBERT BEILBY'S DISAPPEARING
is NORTH WOODS MYSTERY.
Search Throughout Winter Fails to Re
veal ANY Trace of Michigan
Deer Hunter.

MARQUETTE, Mich, April 20
Special A determined effort by
party of southern Michigan men to
solve one of the mysterious tragedies Of
the upper peninsula forests has ended In
failure and the discouraged return of the
searchers to their homes. Robert Bell
by was member Of a party Of Cass and
Berrien county men who sailed forth
last fall to hunt deer. Beilby was an ex
pert woodsman and hunter, and a mem
Der Of many earlier parties that had gone
out in quest of venison. He was 10
years but hale and hearty. He and his
friends established camp near Sidnaw,
Houghton county.
One day Beilby and another member
of the party started out together. They
tracked deer for some distance, and
then agreed to separate. The last seen
of Beilby was when his companion
watched him toiling over a ridge. After
the passing Of the time during which he
should have returned, if no harm had
befallen him, Beilbys friends made de-
termined search for him. They beat over
miles and miles of country, but no trace
Of the missing man was found.
This spring, to satisfy his mother
wish. Beilby's son headed party of
lower state men to the scene of the lone
ly tragedy Of the woods. and for two
weeks they made determined effort to
learn the cause and manner of the I'M
fortunate mans death. They have now
returned home. No light could be thrown
on the mystery, and it will probably
never be solved.
Whether Beilby. lost in an unknown
country, wandered far from the neigh
borhood where he had been hunting and
finally persisted from exhaustion. whether
he fell the victim of an accidental dis
charge of his gun in some secluded spot,
whether he was shot down for a deer
by some other hunter and heartlessly
left. or his body even concealed, these
are questions that will neve~. in all
probability, be answered. The disap-
pearance of Beilby is but one of many
recorded tragedies of the north woods,
the number of which is augmented every
season and the horror of which is only
lesSened by familiarity
