NEW HAVEN ROAD
 ENGINEER GUILTY.
Coroner 6Iames William Rigby For
 Death of His Fireman.

Winsted, Conn, July S.-William Rigby, a New Haven road engineer, residing at Harrison. N Y, was today found to be guilty of carelessness and gross negligence by Coroner $. A. Herman in causing the death "by his criminal act' of Thomas J. Waldon, Of Stamford, his fireman, who was killed in a wreck of a south bound funeral train and north bound freight at North Kent, Conn, June 2. The fu- neral train which had been chartered by Dr. McBurney of New York had carried 9 party to Pittsfield and was returning without passengers when it ran into a freight train which was waiting on the main track expecting the extra to take the siding.
 The coroner gives as his reason for finding Rigby responsible for the fla tality that he did not stop his train for the purpose of throwing the switch to take the siding. The finding re- lates that Conductor Apgar in charge of the the train directed his trainman Radcliffe to go forward to front end of the Pullman car. next the engine to be ready to throw the switch, and that Radfield attempted to do so but found the Pullman car locked so he could not comply with the instructions. The cor oner finds that the conductor and train man did all they would be expected to do.

TRAINMEN MEET THE
 RAILROAD MANAGERS.
Fail to Come to Terms-Outcome May !
 Be Known by Monday.

New York, July S-Peace overtures ceased here today between 45 East ern railroads and 100, 900 members or the Order of Railroad Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Train men after the employees representa- tiYeS in conference with the railroad managers announced that 94 per cent. of the men had voted to strike for increased wages. Final action on the proposed tieup remains with the gen. eral committe of one thousand of the conductors and trainmen's organlza- tions and d meeting has been called for Saturday. It is the unanimous opinion in operating circles that the strike vote will be ratified unless the companies meanwhile offer to pay more wages, or agree to submit the dispute to arbitra ton.
 During the negotiations today the Erie railroad and it's two subsidiaries. the New Jersey and New York, and the New York, Susquehanna ana Western withdrew, leaving Az roads in the conference. The Erie system claims that the increase demand rep resents an annual cost to the three roads of $1,200,000, and that the sys- tenn in paying this sum would suf- fer in safety appliances and equip ment.
 The conference committee of manag- CTS will meet next Monday to consid- oi lHe ueC1oioh OL lAA0 I S ~ general committee. The railroads are then expected to make their ultl- matum.
 It was said today that at no time during the session was the Erdman arbitration act mentioned but comz ment among railroad officials and union representatives tonight showed a general expectation that the men would appeal for abitration before deh- nitely deciding to walk out. Both sides to the controversy have express ed a belief that the present three men media ton under the Edrman act IS dangerous, in that it places too much responsibility on the deciding vote when two of the members fail to agree. For this reason the course in con- gress of a bill amending the Erdman act by increasing the number of ar bitrators is being watched with in terest

DEMOCRATS CAPTURE
 REPUBLICAN, POINTERS
Enables Them to Correct Serious De-
 fects in Tariff Bill.

Washington, July 8-Senator Sim mons chairman Of the finance com mittee, turned a trick on republican leaders today when he got his hands on a lengthy analysis of the demo- cratic tariff bill which had been nre- pared under the direction of Senator Smoot pointing out what the ref5trblf cans claim are serious defects in inc measure
 Senator Shoot had delayed for q month the introduction of the anaIvsis despite insistence of Senator Sirnrnons that it be printed. On the last dav of the caucus when the republicans were assured that the democrats were through with the bill, Senator Shoot consented to send the document in for the printers, But the democrats have not yet printed their bill and have day or two to make corrections and laugh at their opponents inas- much as debate will not begin untii next week.
 Knowing that the republican docu ment might contain valuable pointers. Senator Simmons directed the finance sub committees to go over their sched ules today. and bored over the Smooa analysis to check up with the sub committee tomorrow.
 Senator Simmons heard some weeks ago that republican leaders had eau toned Senator Shoot to hold back the analysis.
 Don't send it in yet" they urged. "It will give us away" Then the fin ance committee chairman decided to lay in wait for the document and to- day he bounced on it before it went to the printing office. He found the result of Senator Shoots careful la bors of a month aided by a corps of experts and assistants. He said Nsorne of the analyses point out errors Nthaf could be corrected, but that much of the document was found to be areu ment.
 The bill probably will not go to fine printer until tomorrow night as the sub committees are still checking up for corrections

COUPLE ENTERED A SUICIDE PACT
Youth and Bride Take Poison Rather
 Than Face Poverty

Eng1ewood. N. J.. July S.-The youth who took slow poison with suicidal intent yesterday. his girl bride en- tering into death pact with him, was identified tonight as John K. Simon ovitz son of a Jersey City storekeep- CT. The disclosure disposes of the boys romantic tale that he and Bar bara M Alderman of Baltimore had tired of life because his father had disinherited him after a runaway mar riage.
 Until tonight Simonovitz was known to the police authorities as John L. Peltrowitz the name he gave when he and his 19 year old wife were brought to the institution. As "Pel- trowitz'' he had described his rich father" and told of the denied inher- itance but refused to say where he lived, fearing he and the girl would ba separated. The father after identi- flying his son said the boy left home three weeks ago without money. He knew nothing of the marriage and had never heard of the Alderman girl he said. He assumed the suicide at- tempt was made because the couple faced poverty. Relatives of Miss Ac1x- erman say "PeItrowitz'' posed as the son of a wealthy man.
 The physicians tonight held out lit- tie hope for the recovery of either pa tient.

Wanted to Stir
 Up Wall Street
LAMAR'S EXPLANATION AT LOB.
 BY INVESTIGATION.
TO UNCOVER ENEMIES
Declares They Have Been Dragged Into Open and He is satisfed-PIayed Wall Street Game. He Says.

Washington, July 8-The senate lobby Investigating committee took look at Wall street today through the spectacles of David Lamar. The dap per operator on the bear-side who ad- mits that he banded about in the market place the names of men high in congress, took the committee com pletely into his confidence. For all the machinations he contrived there were. after all, he swore. but two req sons. He wished to cause an "explo- sion" which would bring the Wall street men whom he felt were antag- onIstic to him into the open" and he wished to insure the employment or Edward Lauterbach, his lawyer friend, who had fallen into disfavor with the mighty of the street.
 Denied Any Other Consideration.
 Although the committee tried to de- veiop that there might have been some ether consideration involved, Lamar denied such allegation as often as 1t was made. He was on the stand Tor several hours and although five senators questioned him they uncov- cred nothing that Lamar did not wish to reveal Time after time he seemed to be on the verge of some admission to which patient questioning had brought him, but he veered away and no persuasive or lawyer-like threaten ing could bring him back again.
 Was Playing Wall Street Game.
 He was only playing Wall streets game, he said, when he made such frequent use of the telephone and talk ed about what might be done in Wash 1ngtoR through prominent members of congress. It was the game he had known most of the 25 years he had been in the street, he said, but he was through with it now, He was sorry for the publicity that had been given to the reports of influence in congress but except for that he thought the end justified the means. The explo- sion had occurred he added and his enemies had been dragged into the open to prove charges circulated for many years in the financial district against himself and Lauterbacf, He summed up his whole story in few words when he said:
 The Only Villain in Wall Street.
 Tt was the Wall street game I was playing. In Wall street you don't act like you did on New Jersey farm ''
 Later he. added bitterly; T am the enly villain in Wall street. All the others are actuated by the highest mo- tiVes and possess the highest ideals" ]"
 LamarS examination was finished teddy and both he and Ladterbach were allowed to go with the under standing that if wanted they should appear again.

JUDGE REJECTS REPORT
 OF THE GRAND JURY.
1t Contained Reflections on President
 asd Attorney General.

San Francisco, July S-Because it contained criticism of the course of President Wilson and Attorney Gen the resignation of United States Dis trict Attorney John L. McNab the report of the federal grand jury be- fore which was presented the evil dence in the Diggs and Camietti white slave cases, the postponement of which led to. McNab's resignation, was rejected today by Judge William c. Van Fleet in the United States dis trict court. Judge Van Fleet declared he would not permit the report as it stood to become part of the court record.
 The report declared that the jurors felt they would be derelict if they did not record their Judgment and opinion on the correspondence relative to the postponement of the eases.
 The report stated that the serious ness of continued poStponenent had been represented to all parties by the district attorney but that the attorney general had peremptorily ordered the cases postponed without consultation with the officers here. The report discussed the defense of the attorney general and said the action of the president in sustaining the attorney general in one breath and acceding to the demands of the district attorney in the next, was, in the opinion of the jury an astonishing method of dis posing of a serious case.
 T cannot permit this report te ge in~ announced Judge Van Fleet after the reading had reached this point. You had net a question before you as te the rights or wrongs of the controversy which resulted in the fes- ignation of MeNab It is therefore improper for you to make comments which could be construed as ref1ecting upon either the president CT the at torney general
