WAGE DISPUTE TO BE DECIDED BY
 THESE SEVEN MEN

Manhattan Beach, July .l5-The ar- bitration committee which will de- eide the wage dispute between the g railroads in the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio riv- CT and their engineers, went into ses- sion. today Oscar S. Straus, former cabinet officer and diplomat, was chairman and the other members were Charles R. Van Hise. Frederick N. Judson, Otto M. Eidlitz, Albert Shaw, Daniel Willard and P H. Nor rissey.
 Both sides agreed to accept for one year at least the report of the board which began it's investigations, today. It was expected that the committee would require nearly month to hear all of the evidence in the case Most of this evidence is of highly tech nical nature. !.
 Grand Chief Warren s. Stone. of the Brotherhood of Locomotive En- gineers, presented the case for the engineers while B. A. Worthington. president of the Chicago and Alton, and recently receiver of the Lake Erie, represented the companies, assisted by M. Duncan of Cleveland and Att torney Thomas McKirby.

SAYS COST OF LIVING WILL
 BE REDUCED

Washington, July 15-The Interstate Commerce Con1missionfs ruling in the express cases, if it goes into effect, will reduce the. cost of living-provid- ed the middlemen do not absorb too much of the difference, said Chairman Clements, of the committee. He pointed out that the commission s ruling was an order to show cause why the new rates should not become effective.
 "Necessarily,'' the chairman said, s'the tendency of important reductions, such as are proposed, would be in greater or less degree toward a re- duetion in the cost of living, just as would be the tendency in a reduc- tion Of the cost of transporting pro- ducts from the producer to the con- sumner in all lines of business. If this is provided the result is not in- terfered with by the concerted action of the producers whereby in restraint of competition agreed prices are fixed and maintained irrespective of cost.
 'eThe Interstate Commerce Commis- sion is charged with the duty of pre- scribing within limitation reasonable transportation charges but it is not charged with the duty nor has it the power to determine who shall take the benefit of any reductions which 1t may make"

BLAME FOR AWFUL
 OVERLAND WRECK LIES BETWEEN TWO

Chicago. July Responsibility for the fatal wreck on the Burlington Railway at iHinsdale, where 13 were killed and 25 seriously hurt when the fast mail crashed into the Overland Express Sunday, telescoping most of the latterss sleeping cars, was placed today between Engineer George Bron- son of the fast maM, and Flagman John Woodruff of the express, by P. s. EuStlS, passenger traffic mana ger of the Burlington.
 A dramatic feature of the wreck was the frantic effort made by Mrs. F. A. Wilcox. the tower operator near est the scene, who vainly tried to flag the express. She had lthrown the semaphore against it but, fearing the signal might not be seen in the dense fog that enshrouded the tracks, was trying to light red lantern when the mail passed. Had it been a minute later she could have Jagged the train.
 F'lagman Woodruff insisted that he went far enough back to flag the mail which he knew was coming, and as- serted that he also placed torpedoes on the tracks. Fireman H. O. Grain who jumped from the mails engine just before the crash, declared that when they hit the torpedoes there was not time enough left to stop the train. He declared that after the torpedoes CAp1OQSQ GA11S1LCCI DTOuSO1 OTQ6TGQ him to jump but he stuck to his seat in a vain attempt to prevent the crash.
 There were numerous pathetic incl dents Of the wreck Mrs. B. G. Post man, a bride of Santa Rosa, Cal, re- fused to permit a doctor to attend her until he had first treated her hus- band. Her spine and both legs were broken and she died later in the hos pital.
 That many of the bodies of the vic- tins were robbed. by ghouls was the assertion of the police. Much jew elry is missing and none of the dead had more than a few cents in their clothing, although it is certain all had plenty of money prior to the crash. Detectives are working on the thefts.
 Three separate investigations of the wreck are in progress today, one by Coroner Huffman, one by the railroad and the third by the State railway commission. Herbert Hease, assistant general solicitor of the Burlington, de- clared he was convinced the weather was the real cause.
 'sThe fog was so dense the engineer could not see the signals until too late,'' he said.

CHEAP ICE FOR < POOR PEOPLE OF
 SCHENECTADY A d m inistration Wins Through Skilful Tactics, Outwitting Dealers
 Combination
Socialist Mayors Friend Buys Municipal Ice Stock at Forced Sale, and Will Continue Business.

Schenectady, July 15.-"Cheap ice. for the poor" became the war cry of the Socialist administration of Sche- nectady. today, and the whole coun- ty is stirred by the attempt Of the organized ice. dealers to prevent carrying out their plans. The ad- ministration stored a lot of ice, last winter, as part of his promises to help, the people and started to sell ice at 25 cents, this summer, where the dealers put the price at 40 cents. today, in manner that showed he had not given up his plans.
 They got local dealer to enJoin us from selling our ice to the peo- ple," he said, "and that injunction cannot be argued until July 23. They went at it as you might expect them to-. They don't cite any law as being violated by our efforts to help out the poor people in this awful weather by selling them ice at a reasonable rate but they just allege that. we haven't the right to do it. They tied us up on July and on the Fourth we had fully 1000 people who needed our work by taking the ice over from the city as individuals and in this way letting the people have the bene- fit.
 Justice Whitmyer has ordered the ice we have left, about 15,000 tons, sold at public auction and this will be done today. Apparently, the trust thinks it will get our ice but if it does it will pay we'll for it.''
 E When asked if he feared any fur -ther legal action, Mayor Lunn said:
 They have already tried to ham, per our work further by asking to have the injunction modified so as to prevent us from using the tele- phones in the city departments or using one of the city offices as an ice bureau. They don't want to let ice and they don't want us to have any place where we can meet them to tell them about it.
 'But there is q storm brewing. Saturday night we had big mass meeting and there are thousands. who will help us in. our fight to give the people this necessity at a, price with in their means.

THE ROWLAND DRY. GOODS CO.
CONTRACTORS BEGIN LAYING SEWER IN
 FAIRFIELD AVENUE.

The Pierce Manufacturing Go. be- gan bright and early today the work of excava4ipg for the sewer in Fair field avenue. The work that is ahead of the company is expected to be more or less difficult as there are many gas and water mains, conduits tand such like, already in the street, as shown by the maps in the city engineers office. Rock is also ex- pected in some parts and it is possi- ble that a bit of blasting will be necessitated.
 There is now much speculation as to just what will be done toward starting the paving work. It is be- lieved that this work can be started just as soon as stretch of the sewer has been laid and the excavation f1llA ed in. It is also wondered why the paving work west Qf Courtland street, cannot be started, since no sewer is to be laid there.
 One of the property owners on the street had this to say relative to this matter: "Of course I realize that the ten foot center question is apt to en- ter into the matter of paving the street but think the city should go ahead with it's paving and let that question be settled after. I believe that the paving above Courtland street should be started at once and that the city officials should get to- gethers in that matter right away.
