FINAL ARGUMENTS
 IN CRAWFORD TRIAL
Judge Delivers Charge to Jury and Court Adjourns
 Until Today

New Orleans, March 25.--The first night session in the trial of Annie Crawford, charged with murderng her sister, Elise. with poison last September. began tonight with Attorney Leon Adams addressing the jury. The court room was packed, and a score or more of well dressed wonl- en were among the spectators. Aisles and windows were filled, many persons ventur- ing to climb upon the judges stand to view the proceedings.
 Miss Crawford dressed in black sat near her lawyers and listened to the argu- ment without the slightest emotion. The remarks of the prosecutor and his assist ant were particularly bitter with reference to the part she is supposed to have played in bringing about her sisters death. When they became dramatic in their appeals to the jury to bring in a death verdict she smiled falntly.
 Argument was closed by District Attor ney St. Clair Adams,
 Judge Critien at II 30 o'clock tonight finished his charge to the jury in the case of Annie Crawford. charged With murdering her sister with poison. and the jurors retired to deliberate. The judge said he would wait in his office "a while" to be ready in the event verdict was forthcoming. The court adjourned at l o'clock and the jury was locked up.

New York. March 25.-In one Of SIX meetings which Colonel Roosevelt ad- dressed on the East Side tonight on the eye of the primary elections tomorrow he faced a situation which had the better of him and other leaders at the meeting for fully 15 minutes. It was all due to a woman.
 After Colonel Roosevelt had launched into an attack upon the new primary law exhibiting the II foot ballot which will be used in one election district as an example of it's encumbrance and began on the right of the people to rule,' one of the few women in the audience upset things by crying in loud voice:
 How about the women?,'
 Many identified the interrupter as Maud Malone, a militant suffragette, who has upset similar political meetings in the same way. There was at once wild con fusion of misses and cries to put her out
 Mrs Roosevelt was self-possessed and after the clamor had quieted somewhat, replied affably:
 Madam, l have asked that you women yourselves be allowed to vote to determine whether you shall vote.'

Now York, March 25.-The conrer- ence of managers of 90 railroads east of Chicago and north of the Norfolk and Western railroad and their locomo- tive engineers arrived at a deadlock to- night over the question of an increase in and standardization of wages.

SUFFRAGETTE GETS BEST
 OF COLONEL ROOSEVELT

This was greeted with general cheering but Miss Malone kept her feet and was about to make further Interruptions when the colonel said:
 Apparently you don't feel contented with this In that case, I have a great deal better opinion of your sex than you nave"
 Men in the crowd began throwing paper programmes and other missiles at Miss Malone. The colonel pleaded for courtesy but the pandemonium continued notwith- standing the colonels shouts from tine platform and the effort of the chairman to rap the crowd to order. The riotous demonstration continued for a quarter of an hour, during which Colonel Roosevelt was absolutely helpless. The band tried to charm the rioters to calm but the music only stirred up more excitement
 The situation was saved only when a special policeman had elected Miss Ma lone
 When the colonel was finally able to proceed he reiterated his views as to wonan's suffrage, saying:
 '1 want to give the women everything they want. If they want the vote l want to give it to them. If they don't. don't want to say I know their business better than they do. If that is not square deal l don know what is

ENGINEERS AND MANAGERS
 DEADLOCKED IN NEW YORK

referendum vote as to what policy shall be adopted. W. s. Stone, grand chief engineer of the brotherhood in a letter written tonight to J. L. Stewart of the Erie railroad and chairman of the man agers committee, said the engineers could not accept the decision of the managers and if they had nothing fur ther to offer the matter would be given into the hands of the engineers for de- cision
 MT. Stewart replied that the managers could add nothing to their statement ami that he hoped the members of the Brotherhood would give it full considera- ton when submitted to them.
 The engineers had requested d mini- mum wage of $40 per day for passenger service, $5.25 per day for freight service, and substantial increase for overtime. They also asked increases for switch, belt line and special engines and speci- fled that all electrical trains should be manned by engineers at steam railroad pay. The managers replied that to acquiesce in the demands would mean an increase in wages of about 19 per cent and that they were unable financially to add this burden to their already heavy expenses.
 After they had read the reply of the managers the representatives of the eng1- neers conferred, and, it Is said, agreed unanimously that it was not acceptable.
 After an exchange of letters between MT Stewart and MT. Stone setting forth that each refused the others demands and other facts as given, it was stated by a committee of three members of the engineers that there was no strike talk today at their conference. Not until the joint conference between the engineers and the managers has been submitted to the rank and file of the g, 900 members of the engineers organization will the ques- ton of walkout be considered, they said
