AS A LETTER WRITER MRS. TURNbULL SHOVE HER EPISTLES ARE BROUGHT
 AGAINST HER She DeIeares Them For5eriss by a
 Ce'ective

Los Angeles, Dec. 2S.-"Lucky'' Baldwins gold could do anything against a defenseless woman.
 This was one of the parting shafts launched at the opposing attorneys and to the jury by Mrs. Lillian Turnbull before she ended her testi- mOny today in the contest of her daughter, Beatrice Anita.
 The record of the wOman's testi- mony at the trial of her S75. .000 suit against Baldwin has been destroyed. and the attorneys for the estate were endeayoring to secure her pres ent version of that testimony pre- paratory to introducing impeaching evidence, when she shot that retort in reply to a query as to what req son there might be for so many for geries of her letters.
 Seventeen more of her letters were introduced. and she declared every one of them base forgeries perpe- trated by william in the employ of that treacherous man. James F. Wood" Wood is a Boston detec- tive. employed by Col. Albert Pope, whom Mrs. Turnbull previously de- clared sold me out to Baldwin,"
 Former Judge Slack will be one of the chief witnesses for the de- fense. after the case is reconvened January 4.
 Mrs. Turnbull was asked whether previously to her meeting with Pope she had not met a man named John Osborn and taken him out ito do Boston" for a period covering an entire week.
 "I did not" replied the witness.
 Tn your previous case, did you not admit that a picture introduc- ed in evidence was of you and Os- born in loving attitude?" was asked.
 "I remember a picture that Osborn said was of himself, and me-" she replied. But as a matter of fact the woman in the picture was the daughter of Osborn's landlady. In cidentally. Mir. McNab. that was the picture that nearly cost Lucky Bald win his life, when it was shown. My sister shot him then"

MISS MANNER|NG AS THANKSGIVING SANTA COMING OF GREAT ACTRESS RE- CALLS TOUCHING LITTLE
 INCIDENT.
An Act Which Shows Another Side
 of the Footlight Favorite.

It is altogether likely that Mary Mannering, who appears at the Elks' theater tonight in "A Mans World, has completely forgotten one of the prettiest incidents in her career, an incident as far removed from her work behind the footlights as was her expectation that the story about to be told, when it actually occurred, would ever reach the light of public print. It will serve, in d small meas ure, to give the general public, un- familiar with the other side of the woman whom they admire on the stage, something of an idea of her true worth in private life.
 Thanksgiving day. some years ago, found Miss Mannering and her com pany in Utica, x. Y. They had ap- peared at the Majestic theater the evening before and were dated to appear in Syracuse that night. Early in the forenoon Miss Mannering and the members of the company made their way through banks of drifting snow to the old depot of the New York Central X Hudson River rail- road. only to learn that the train which was to take them to Syracuse was several hours late.
 Rather than make their way back to their hotel, they decided to spend the time in the waiting room. A great wood stove was spreading a welcome warmth through the big room and with other delayed travel CTS they gathered near the heater. Jokes and quips passed back and forth. and the time promised to pass rapidly The winters cold was for gotten. The wind howled and moaned through the wires unheeded and the snow continued to blow and drift outside until it began to look as though trains would either have to be abandoned or annulled.
 Apart from and heretofore UnnO- ticed by the merry Thespians stood a tall. gaunt Canadian Frenchman, clad in heavy boots and Mackinac coat At his side was a frail little woman, whose deep limned features showed traces of beauty in former days. She pressed closely to her breast an in- fant whose only covering was the remnant of an old table cloth. A little girl. aged about three years without shoes or stockings and hat less, shivered at the edge of the crowd. evidently afraid to make heI way to the warmth of the stove. A lad but few months older cried softly in a corner near the door. He too. was scantily clad
 None of the group could speak English. but newspaper man. who understood enough Canadian French

An Eleventh Hour Proposal Bg Commissioner NeiII IF HIS EFFORTS sHOULDFAIL
There Will be Ordered To- day the Greatest Strike OH the Western Roads in the History of Railroad Disturbances.

Chicago, Dec. 25.-With the rail- road managers and the locomotive en- gineers on the verge of an open rupture, the most. gigantic strike in railroad history is but a few hours off Labor Commissioner NeilI, late tonight stayed the strike order and paved the way for an amieable set tlement. This issue of peace or war will be determined tomorrow. At midnight the changes appeared to favOs peace.
 A compromise which Mir. Nein con- sidered fair 10 both sides was pre- sented to the leaders too late for the committee to get together to act upon it. Each side will discuss it tOmor- row and if it is acceptable an agree ment may be signed by noon.
 Early in the evening it appeared that the strike was imminent. Grand Chief Stone of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers declared that there was no hope of settlement and that the advisory board had prepar- ed to issue a strike order. Some of the committeeman were making arrangements to leave the city and hurry to their respective divisions to be ready for the clash. MT. Stone intimated that it was but a ques- ton of a few hours when a bulletin ordering the men to leave their cabs would be issued.
 About o'clock Mir. Neill telephOn- ed MT. Stone to meet him at his hO- tel at once with the members of the advisory board. When NIT. Stone and the committee reached the hotel, MT. Neill presented a compromise agreement.
 It provides for some concessions on both sides, though it's acceptance. it is said. will give the men a good advance over the offer made by the managers.
 That it will be accepted by the general managers it is said is almost certain. Mir. Neill is completely worn out after several days of almost con tinuOus conference. He would not discuss the nature of the cOmprO- mise drawn up, but he admitted that it was the final step in the media tion line. If it is rejected by either side. Mir Neill will formally offer arbitration which he is required to do under the law.

AN OHIO COUNTY
 GIVEN ID BRIBERY
More Than 300 indictments Have Been
 Returned.

West Union. Ohio, Dec. Z5-One hundred additional indictments, charg- ing citizens of Adams county with bribery in connection with the recent election were returned by a special grand jury late today. bringing the to- tai for the day up to PIP. and the total for the week to S33.
 More than 200 arrests have been made and in every instance the defend ant pleaded guilty. In a majority of the cases. the court imposed fines of s25 and costs and jail sentence of six months. with the loss of the right to vote for five years.
 So far as the evidence disclOses, the guilty are about equally divided be- tween members of the republican and democratic parties. It appears that the price for vote ranged between S10 and S250.

to make himself understood, in com municating with the family learned after tortuous questioning that the family was en route to Montreal, that they had been on the road three days and that they had not eaten since the day before, when their money gave out. The few clothes they had on their backs and their railroad tickets were all they pos sessed in the world.
 In the west end of the station building was a restaurant and through the open doors came the odor of cof- fee and good things to eat. And here were five human beings cold and unfed on the day of all days of the year when they should be happy.
 It came to the ears of Miss Man nering that this family was in dire need. In an instant she had called company, and placing in his hand a sum of money, told him to see that they were fed. Other members of the company came forward, and soon a neat purse had been collected. And then the man, his wife and his chil- dren were led into the restaurant. Such a dinner as they had never before dreamed of was placed before them, and then a bOuntecus supply was packed for them to take upon il eir journey.
 While this was going on, Miss Man nering had disappeared from the group. When they were fed and were about to re-enter the waiting room. Miss Mannering came through the street door of the station GOV cred with smiles and snow, and her arms heavy laden with packages, while a porter nearly hidden under bundles trudged faithfully behind.
 She hurried to the group, and re- moving her gloves and throwing back her wraps, proceeded to undo some of the parcels Taking the infant from its mothers arms, she placed the little one on her lap and then proceeded to dress it in the daintiest and warmest little garments imagin- able And then she cuddled the child with the maternal instinct of the true woman. until it was lulled to sleep and happy dreams. For the mother there was clothing and strong shoes, and for the little boy and girl garments which insured them against the ravages of the cold and the snOws.
 And when the train for Syracuse pulled in some time later, the great engine a mass of snow and ice. Miss Mannering again went to the mother, placed the remaining money of the purse collected, together with a substantial addition, in her hand, kissed the babe. patted the children on the head and then hurried to her car.
 The members of the company were sworn to secrecy and no press agent of Miss Mannering from that day to this has been permitted to print the story. It was an act of Miss Man. nering. the woman. not of Miss Man nering, the actress.
