BRISTOL OFFICE
MAY REMAIN OPEN
Compromise Likely to Keep It in
Existence for Next Twelve
Months.

Especial to The Times-D ispatchl
Washington. July 26.-It is entirely
probable that n solution of the Bristol
post office fight, which has been going
on here for the past ten days In the
hope of preventing the Office at that
place from being abolished at the end
OF the present month. has been found.
1t was stated here to-day that while
Postma ster- General Burleson has made
no announcement indicating what he
intends to do. n compromise probably
would be effected by allowing the of
flee to remain as ii is for the next
twelve months. That, 1t Is understood
would be entirely satisfactory to the
Virginians who have been lighting to
keep the office open
When this situation was explained
to f. G. Peters and others who came
TO Washington to look Into the matter,
they seemed to be we'll pleased with
1T, and indicated very strongly that
such a solution would be entirely sat
isfactory to them. In fact some OF the
members stated that could they get a
postponement OF the order for thirty
days they believed 1t would be made
permanent. When told of the proba-
bility OF the time being extended for
a year much satisfaction was expressed
1t is not yet certain that Mr.. Burlc-
son will do anything in the matter, and
the orders issued short time ago
closing the Bristol office may yet go
into effect. but those who came to
Washington are lighting hard to win.

YIELD DEMANDS

Railroads Will Not Insist That
Their Grievances Be
Arbitrated.
VICTORY FOR EMPLOYEES

That New Scale Be
Retroactive.
VICTORY FOR EMPLOYEES

New York. July 26.-The Eastern
railroads to-day withdrew their demand
that their grievances against the en-
pioyes should be considered by the Fed
eral board appointed TO arbitrate the
demand for better wages and working
conditions made by conductors and
trainmen.
mis- concession apparently removed
the only remaining obstacle to arbi-
tration and averted a strike With this
issue disposed OF, the railroad managers
and the labor leaders expected to
reach speedy agreement upon the
text of the questions to be laid be-
lore the board of arbitration. In a
statement explaining their position
the managers said they have made this
concession because they felt II was their
duty to protect the travelling public.
Working Demands Unchanged.
After brief conference with the
labor leaders the mcdiators announced
that the articles OF arbitration would
present the sixteen original demands Of
the employees without change.
The only point won by the railroads
was an agreement that the decision
of the arb!trators should become ef-
fective October l instead of being re-
troactive.
The managers decision was an
nounced after they had spent the morn
ing in consultation by telephone and
telegraph with the presidents Of their
roads. 1t was announced In the form
of "a letter addressed TO the board OF
mediation and Cancellation. The let

nrynn rhin,ss It,, SERIOUS.

Washington. July 26.--"It looks like
serious case. We will do whatever
is necessary" said Secretary Bryan TO-
night in commenting on the shooting
OF Dixon. lie telegraphed American
Consul Edwards for an Immediate in
vestiGation
Secretary Bryan was at his office in
the state Department when he re-
ceivcd a brief message from Consul
Edwards advising him OF the shoot
ms. He also was shown the press dis
patches, and manifested keen interest
in the situation. President Wilson
was advised OF the incident. but made
no comment.
While immigration officials on the
border frequently have had trouble
with McxicanS. officials being detained
until their identity could be estab-
lished. 1t was pointed out that strict
orders often have been ISSUED to keep
American soldiers off duty from going
into the McXica"s towns Just across
the international lire, in times OF rev
olutionary disturbances. and that
little difficulty had been experienced.
1t was apparent that the State De-
partment would call upon the de facto
government in Mexico City. whose
troops are garrisoned in Juarez. to pun
ish the offenders. though no one would
authorize any statement OF the course
to be pursued.

st. Petersburg, July 26.-The pro-
posal made by the Russian government
that joint naval demonstration be
made off Constantinople To coincide
with with the mobilization OF Russian
troops in the southwestern provinces
has been abandoned. Germany natly
declined to consider the plan. and Rus
sia's allies, Great Britain and France,
replied evasively.
Russia is unable to assume the task
single handed OF bringing pressure to
bear OH the Turks In Europe. and she
is unwilling TO do SO in Asia Minor
realizing that such Il course would en-
courage an Armenian uprising, which
would only further complicate the
Turkish problem Owing TO the break
down OF the European concert, Rus
sia sees no hope OF arresting thG
Turks by force. No military or naval
preparations are proceeding at pres
cnt. Russia. however may land n

Especial TO The Times Dispatch.1
Calumet. Mich, July 26.-Apprehen-
sion was felt here tonight following
the announcement that the striking
copper miners would hold a giant
demonstration tomorrow. in which the
miners and trammcrs from the Calu-
met and Keewccnaw mines will par
ticipate. Fearing trouble, Brigadier-
General Abbey tonight despatched
troops to various mining locations
where there have been disturbances,
and announced that martial law would
be declared the instant there was any
appearance OF disorder
Striking miners tonight expressed
resentment over the failure of Cover
nor Ferris to come here and take
charge of the situation. They ex-
pressed the belief that in not coming.
but in sending troops instead. he lis
tened rather to the mining companies
than to advices from their side. The
labor officials feel that sooner or later
there must be a rigid Investigation
OF industrial conditions in the Michi-
San copper regions. and they hold that
now is the right time for this investi-

that il might be n long time before

be reached in this matter. The one
Zig proposition which has been sub
mitted. and the only one of real i'm
portance. is whether or not the case
shall he opened de novo. just as if the
Supreme Court of the United States
had never considered its merits. or
whether only the question of an award
from the interest standpoint shall be
considered. Negotiations along this
line were carried on until after mid =

it was soon found to-day that nothing
could be accomplished at this time,
and it was then agreed TO postpone fur
ther action until the date mentioned.

charlottesville, W., July 26.-Tho
Kew. Charles steele Davidson called at
n Iocnl newspaper Office yesterday
afternoon and announced that he had
severed his connection with the Epis-
copnl Church, and TINT In token OF
this act he hnd burned, nt tho gate to
Monticello, the home OF Jefferson, his
vestmcnts and prayer hook.
Mr. Davidson inveighed bitterly
against the Episcopal Church II
charge so runs a part of his written
statement. that the Episcopal Church
is the gentleman's church in general
and in Virginia in particular. 1t is
powerful financially and socially
stupid intellectually. and spiritually
dead; that 1t needs a change OF heart;
repentance, or utter obliIeration. She
favors the rich and the cultured, and
has no vital interest in the poor and
the common She either scgregates
the poor IN missions on the back
streets. or relcEates them in churches
to the back pews.
Relic of FcudnIism.
I'm Virginia the Episcopal Church la
mere relic OF the old social feudalism,
and stands for a dry-rotted conserva-
tism that bars the progress OF the
kingdom. Virginia. fter her Ions de-
preston. is aroused and is marching
on, but the church is slowly retreating
ism. 1t is taking up the matter OF
physical uncleanness and Is leaving
vile the inner man. 1t is wasting time
on eugenics and putting no time on
cupsychics. 1t is contending with tho
rituaiists about purity OF worship when
II has lost the spirit of worship.
The Episcopal Church everywhere Is
shot through with material!sm. Its
overtures in the matter of unity are
ins!dious and hypocritical. Behind
closed doors it claims superiority to
all Professionalism and contemplates
only an Episcopal merger The lead
ers are misleading. The church is not
divine on the side of its human inn
projections. To-day in its conven-
tional aspect it does not know God.
Here. therefore. on this Friday. the
25th day OF July, 1913. at the gate of
Monticello, at the home of the apostle
of the peoples political freedom l burn
the vestments Of an impotent priest
