PEACEFUL ARBITRATION
IS HOPE OF MED|ATORS
Expect to Make Progress To-
day Toward Plan to Set
tie Differences.

NEW YORK, July 23.-The federal
mediators expected to make rapid
progress today toward establishing
grounds for peaceful arbitration Of the
differences between the eastern railroads
and their conductors and trainmen. The
satisfactory disposal yesterday Of the
side issue involving the Erie left only
the problem OF getting the railroad man.
ayers and the labor leaders to agree upon
specifications of the points to come be-
fore the arbitrators to be chosen under
the new Newlands act.
The board of mediation and arbitration
today planned to determine whether these
articles for arbitration should include the
eight grievances stated by the railroad
against the men. If the roads persisted in
their refusal to withdraw these the media
tors hoped to persuade the employees to
consent that the demands of the railroads
should be taken up Immediately after the
board of arbitration had decided the
questions involved in the demands Of the
men.
Erie Road Enters Conference.
The Erie road informed the board last
night that it would return to the con-
ference committee of managers that Is

controversy involving the threatened
strike of trainmen and conductors.
Through President F. D. Underwood 1t
was announced that the system was pre-
pared to accept any awards made by any
federal arbitration board appointed under
the Newlands act.
On the ground that 1t could not afford
to grant the wage increase demanded the
Erie last week withdrew from the man
ayers conference, with result that the
committee representing the employees in
formed the mediato:s that a strike would
be called against it If its position re-
manned unchanged.
Vice President Stuart of the Erie con-
ferred with the mediators yesterday aft
ernoon. Judge Chambers, head Of the
federal board, placed the trainmen's po-
sition before him and advised him of the
importance of return by the Erie to
the managers conference. Mr.. Stuart
later communicated by telegraph with
President Underwood, who is on q fishing
trip near Waumatosa, Wis. Last night
Mr. Stuart submitted to the mediators a
message from Mr.. Underwood Indicating
the roads willingness to return to the
conference.

stantly. Under that act. President Taft
allowed the Madero government to pur-
chase arms and ammunition in the United

Mexico which are serving no purpose
except the equipment of soldiers OF
Huerta, who desert and become bandits

TARIFF QUESTION TO BE
TEST OF WILSON FEALT.
President Elect to Start March I'm
dor Idea that Every Democrat -
Supporting His Aoninistration-Re-
dictionaries Offer Olive 1rancn and
Wilson Will Wait to Do Shown.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Jan. 29.-Sone Of the
senate democrats who have gone CT
late on pilgrimages to Trenton have
been telling their colleagues just what
sort of treatment the new president Is
going to mete cut to the various brands
OF democrats in congress whom he will
encounter daily after March 4.
The question much discussed is
whether MIR. Wilson will hobnob and al
filiate with the progressive democrats
and hold the conservatives aloof or
whether he VIII pick his advisers
among the conservatives in house and
senate or whether he will treat botn
progressives and conservatives alike.
The president elect has already lei
it be known he will pick his cabinet
from among the progressive democrats
and that he wanted the men about MIN
on whom he relied for counsel to be
progressive democrats. But his re-
marks did not so much apply to MS
relations to democrats in congress ana
that is what is making the statesmen
who want to stand we'll at the White
House lie awake nights.
Wilson to Start Anew.
It is asserted by some of the senators
that Mr. Wilson plans to wipe on the
slate March and start on an even
basis with all the democrats in con-
eress. That Is, he will start on the pre-
sumption that the democrats In con-
eress are going to stand by the policies
which he advocates. Until he mas
members are fighting those policies ne
will not label them and card inoeH
them.
But when he advocates what ne
esteems to be progressive legislation
demanded by the country. and mas
that certain democratic reactionarles
get in it's way and seek to block it. then
he will definitely stamp such opponents
Of his policies as reactlonarles. JUS us,
how much trouble those gentlemen VIII
thereafter experience at his nanos oe-
pends of course on just how strong
character as president Mr.. Wilson VIII
prove to be.
Tariff Questions to Determine.
It Is said, moreover. that Mr.. wilson
expects 1t will be clearly developed III
the tariff session. in the consideration
OF tariff and such other questions as
may come up then. about how the INES
are lying in congress. especially among
the democrats. For weeks and months
democrats who are deep craven as re-
dictionaries. have been insisting they
would be loyal to the new administra-
ton and get. in behind any progressive
legislation he might propose. IS
understood Mr. Wilson will adopt the
attitude Of the gentleman from MIS-
souri, as to this and insist on being
shown but at the same time that he Is
willing to give every democrat in con-
gress a chance to prove that he means
what he processes to.

Cattle Shortage Appreciated.

Every steer, every COW and heller IN
the corn belt should be fat one this
year.
There Is a world Of corn, corn fodder.
hav and small grains to feed out, and
the shortage OF cattle is the induce
ment to fatten all the bovines which
are owned in the corn belt.
This should be a year OF narrow
price spread in the cattle market for
reason that practically everything
which will be shipped in the next ten
months should be fat.
Plain and fair quality fat steers
should bring prices relatively close to
those prevailing for the smoother quail
ity fat beeves.
This condition of shortage has been
coming in the corn belt for months
past. That it is reaching an acute
stage is significant when the leaders IN
the beef-making industry oil the corn
belt are compelled to go west for their
high class feeding steers.
Last week there were in Denver the
more extensive cattle feeders OF nearly
every section Of the corn oelt. 1hey
went out there to the National west
ern stock show to buy high bred iced
ing cattle, and they went far because
it was Impossible TO get them nearer
home
In Denver they found that the de-
inand was in excess OF supply. and, like
the home market, Denver. too, was on
highest price basis in history.
Thousands of high grade feeder cat
tie cost an average close to 500 IN
Denver. and adding expense to get
these cattle to the cornhelt feed yards,
the cost ran close up TO IS.
When the corn belt can pay these
high prices for well-bred feeders the
men who own corn-belt land surely can
afford to raise more OF their own steers
for feeding purposes.
Denver prices should go a long ways
in teaching the corn-belt feeder the
necessity OF raising more Of his own
steer calves. The west is taking ad-
vantage of bad predica ment east, but
the west itself is III no very good way
to roll up an immense profit, because
there, too, the shortage OF beef steers
has reached an alarming stage.
But the west is going back into beef
making on an extensive scale and the
cheaper grazing lands of the west
a big dividend paying investment.
There were sold in Denver last week
a big lot CT Hereford and Shorthorsl
breeding cattle at prices higher than
ever paid before by the western cattle
men.
Having sold their calves, year!ings
and 2year- old feeders at record prices,
western men quickly put their money
back into breeding stock.
They know good thing when they
see it, and are strongly inclined to
coax it along.
The corn belt should do likewise. In
vestment in bred breeding stock
and silo for wintering the young
stuff at minimum Of cost will do the
corn belt more good eventually than
can be had by continually depending
upon the west for feeder stuff and pay
ing the higher prices which dependence
upon the west only serves to legiti-
Matte.

1,176 Offers Of Marriage Are Held in
Dead Letter Office,


Washington, Jan. ga mysterious
Miss z. Y. Radcliffe" of Elgin. H., is
causing the officials Of the dead letter
office here lot of worry.
Miss Radcliffe wrote to the mayor
Of San Francisco some time ago asking
his aid in finding a husband. and now
1.176 offers of marriage from all parts
of the country are awaiting her here at
the dead letter office.
Most Of them are accompanied by

time at the Elgin postoffice, until the
postmaster there, having given up all
hope of finding the wouidbe bride.
sent a wagon load of them to the dead
letter office. where she can get them,
if she still is willing to get married.
The chief attraction about Miss Rad
cliffe's letter seems to have been an in
ne1itance of $4,000. Her letter to the
san Francisco mayor follows:
Ito the Mayor of San Francisco, Cal
Dear Sir: Will you please insert the
