(Bv Special Leased Wire to New Mexican)
New York, Feb. 9.-Mrs. Frederick
Crandall, nee McManus, came to New

and learned for the first time that her
husband was an heir of the late Edwin
Hawley, and a prospective million
aire. Since January 90 last, she had

children of the pair have been at
Chatham, n. Y, awaiting their moth
er's release and it is understood she
will join them there.
Young Crandall once was one of the
late railroad milionaire's favorite
nephews, but they quarrelled in 1896
when Mr.. Hawley learned of Gran
dall's attentions to Miss McManus,
then a telegraph operator in the off
ces of the Southern Pacific railway
where he was employed. Since Haw
ley died intestate, Crandall will re
ceive a share of the estate amount

RAILROAD
UNION is PLANNED
Next Strike That is Ordered Will
Bring Out 100000 Men From
Start.

tBy Special Leased Wire TO New MexIcan)
Chicago. H., Feb. 9.-Labor leaders
are secretly perfecting the formation
of an organization of railroad shop
employees that will include every road
operating west of the Mississippi riv-
er, according to the RecCrd-Herald
today.
A meeting to place the finishing
touches on the organization will be
held in Kansas City OH March T.
AS soon as the organization is
launched demands are TO be made for
general advance in wages on every
road.
1t is the aim to unite all the me-
chanical trades on one railroad so that
concerted action may be taken when
wage demands are made.
Demands will be made on all rail
roads in the same territory at the
same time, so that all railroads will
be involved simultaneously if a strike
is called
Labor leaders say they discovered
the weakness of their former plans
during the recent disputes with the
Hartman lines and Illinois Central
and that the next time they strike
it will be on broader scale.
The new organization, if consum
mated on the line as planned, will,
embrace more than 100000 men.
To Prevent Strikes.
Kansas City, Mo-, F~J. 9.-Albert
Hinzman, vice president of the Boil
ermakers' International Union, in
talking of the proposed organization
OF railway shopmen, said he had
known for some time that the plan
had been discussed, but that he had
not been officially notified of any ac
ton. March A. he said, had been
named as a tentative date for meet
ing to be held here. "A gigantic or
ganization of all unions would dc
more to prevent strikes on railroads
than any other remedy" Mr.. Hinz
man said.
Each of the various unions west
of the Mississippi river, have a sep
arate branch on each railroad, and
each local will send a delegate to the
meeting here"

MORE TROUBLE

Probed
FREIGHT RATES SUSPENDED

(By Special Leased Wire 10 New MexIcan}

Western classification of freight on
which western transportation lines
worked for many months, and which
recently was filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, today was Or
dered by the commission to be sus-
pended from February Is to June %.
The proposeu classification con-
tains hundreds of changes resulting
i'll many advances and some de-
creases in present rates. Naturally,
rates would be affected by the new
classification not only in western ter
ritOry but throughout the country, on
all freight originating in. or destined
tA points in that territory. A hearing
was given on the proposed classifica-
ton on January 8, but it was found
ciude its inquiry before the effective
date of February Is.
Advances in freight rates proposed
by trans-cortinental railroads were
suspended by the commission from
February 2S until August 2S. 1t was
found impossible to conclude the in
quiry within the time originally fixed
by the commission.
The commission ordered a general
investigation Of the practice of Inter-
state carriers. with respect to the is
SGance of passes, franks, and free
transportation service.
Information has reached the com
mission that many carriers are vic,
lating the law in that regard Indica-
tions are that the offending carriers
may be o0liged to face prosecution.

he was postmaster general.
A publishing company owned by
Lewis and also the United States
bank of st. Louis We're affected by the
orders. Frank Madden, who was third
assistant postmaster general under
Mr.. Cortelyou, is now counsel for
Lewis.
Mir. Cortelyou said Madden had re-
fused to issue fraud orders against
Lewis, and that he had issued them
personally.
Mr.. Cortelyou denied that any eX-
traneous influences had anything to
do with his action in the Lewis case.
His attention was called by Third
Assistant Postmaster General Britt
to testimony taken in the investiga-
ton of the case suggesting that for
mer United States Senator Platt and
the express company interests had
sought the destruction OF the
Lewis Company's bank, and that
it was through Platt's Influence
that Mr.. Cortelyou had been made
postmaster general.
Did former Senator Platt or any
express company or express trust
asked Mr.. Britt, "either influence you
or ATTEMPT to influence you in your
action in this case?'
"Not in any way whatever Mr..
Cortelyou replied.
