ARGUE FOR MORE PAY.
Locomotive Engineers Meet Officials
Means $1O,OOO,OOO Yearly.

NEW YORK, March 14.-Arguments
supporting their demand for Increased
wages were prepared by committee Of
fifty locomotive engineers headed by
Warren s. Stone. grand chief of the
Brotherhood Of Locomotive Engineers,
for submission today at Joint confer
ence with a committee OF officials of forty
eight eastern railroads. The engineers
desire the increase in order that their
wages may be brought to a level Of those
paid on roads west Of the Mississippi
river. The railroad officials, after con-
sidering the demands. estimate that the
wages demanded would amount to about
$10.0O0.000 year increase to the cost
OF railroad transportation.
Following arguments today a recess Of
several days will be taken in order to
permit the railroads to consider the pro-
posals and formulate a reply. The de-
mands presented are quite technical In
form and have to do with passenger.
electric, freight. switching and belt line
service, together with final terminal and
initial terminal delays.

PARIS. March 15. 1912.
The news that the Church OF Argenteuil
was broken into and robbed caused SEN
sation In that suburb. The Basilica OF
Argenteuil Is one Of the most celebrated
churches in France. An old legend at
firms that the tunic preserved in its
sanctuary is that Of Christ, ana the
church, besides. contains other ancient
relics.
The robbers did not contemplate carry
ing away any Of these treasures. Their
object was to break open only the collec-
ton boxes, which had been kept closed
for two months. and to carry away the
cash. They broke away the thick panels
Of the huge oak door during the night
and entered the church. They then broke
open all the poor boxes and forced q
drawer In o closet, where some cash and
securities were kept. It 10 believed that
in all they may have secured about $500

People intending to visit Germany

ease which the newspapers here wittily
call "spoinitis' is extremely prevalent.
An American and a German friend were
walking beneath the walls Of the fortress

money belonging to the war Office is de-
posted. They were promptly arrested as
spies and taken to the police station.
where, after some trouble, they were able
to satisfy the authorities that they were.

The American said he only wanted to
SEQ the place where Germany kept her
money. and. as one evening newspaper

America a similar tower In which to keep
his dollars.

tion Speaker for the
Presidency.

According to an announcement from the
Clark headquarters today. q canvass Of
the democratic members Of the Illinois
delegation in Congress has brought out
the fact that they are Overwhelmingly
In favor Of Speaker Champ Clark for the
democratic nomination for President at
the Baltimore convention
There are eleven democrats in the ILL.,
nois delegation in Congress. OF the num-
Der. the following have declared them
selves for Clark: Buchanan, Graham,
Rainey. Fowler. Gallagher. MoDermott
For Carter H. Harrison first and
Speaker Clark second. SABBATH: undecided.
Evans and Stone: non-committal, Foster;
absent, Stack.
Both Admire Speaker.
Representatives Evans and Stone, who
are counted as undecided, have both de-
clared themselves as admirers Of Speaker
Clark. In explaining their position they
say that they prefer to go on record as
being prepared to devote their entire sup
port to the nominee of the convention,
whoever he may be.
Il have noticed one thing about Speaker
Clark" said Representative Evans, (which
strikes me as worthy OF attention That
is the way he is growing In favor with
the business men Of the country. I think
1t Is quite significant. He suits me per-
fectly."
Representative Fowler expressed himself
plainly about Speaker Clark.
There is no other man in the United
States so well fitted to be President" said
Mr.. Fowler. There is only one thing
that people can say against him He has
such an affable way about him that one
cannot always tell whether he is in Jest
or In earnest. That doesn't seem to be
much of a drawback"

Record Of Jury Trials.

In his report to the District heads Cor
poration Counsel Thomas called attention
to the fact that from April ID. 1910, to
August q. 1911, forty-hve jury cases were
tried, resulting In eight verdicts Of guilty
and thirty-seven verdicts Of not guilty.
OF this number there were sixteen cruel
ty to animal cases, of which but two re-
suited in verdicts Of guilty.
"A jury OF twenty-six men costs the
District $7S per day" states Mr.. Thomas
in the report. II am informed that when
q jury is sitting two cases per day on the
average are disposed OF
applying this test to these forty-ffve
cases, their trial cost the District, in jury
fees alone, $1.755. It will be seen that
liquor and cruelty to animal cases occa-
sion most OF the trials by jury, and 1t is
claimed that this report Of forty-dve cases
shows the average result for years past.
III so. some effort should be mace
either to prevent the bringing OF these
cases before the Jury where there is no
reasonable prospect Of conviction, or trial
by Jury should be abolished In all District
cases except where the Constitution Of
the United States requires such q trial.
II the penalty in cases Of cruelty to ami
mails be reduced to $40 fine nc jury would
be required under the present law. and
such penalty might well be reduced by
Congress In view of the fact that the
court rarely imposes q fine above $lO

SOCIETY WILL
FIGHT FOR JURY TRIALS
Opposes Change in Cases
Arising From Cruelty
to Animals.

Vigorous opposition is to be voiced
by the Washington Humane Society to
the Recommendation Of District Com
missioner Johnston for legislation
abolishing jury trials in cases involv-
ing cruelty to animals. 1t became
known today that President Walter
Stilson Hutchins Of the society has
notified the District authorities that IL
the proposed legislation is recommend
ed to Congress the society will strongly
oppose favorable action on 1t.
Commissioner Johnston's recommen-
dation was based on q report by Dis
trict Corporation Counsel Thomas
pointing out that the District would
save the cost Of jury trials If cases in
volving cruelty to animals we're tried
by the court. In order to abolish Jury
trial, 1t was stated, it would be neces-
sary to amend the law by reducing the
penalty In such cases to a fine OF $40.
Although Commissioner Johnston is ia
vorable to the proposition the matter has
not been acted upon by Commissioners
Rudolph and JudsOn, and it Is said that
the proposal will be considered at board
meeting before 1t finally Is disposed OF.
