pl0rerS Is Rescued From
PeriIous Position.

southern coast of Labrador, Wednesday
night, was refloated last evening. Job
Bros. the owners here, received this
information today from the telegraph op-
orator at Red Bay, in the Straits of Belle
Isle.

age to Crocker Land.

lnSistence on Demands
by Railway Managers

NEW YORK, July 1s-Messrs. Lee
and Garretson, leaders of the railway
trainmen and conductors. made public
this afternoon the text OF "A bulletin
which Is being sent to members of the
unions advising them of the state of
things. 1t recites the demands of the
railroads for arbitration of certain
grievances and continues:
1T Is needless TO say that no arbi-

upon by the managements only one re-
suit can follow, namely:
The setting. of the hour for retire

the railroads, not the unions. have some

Seth Low, president of the National

was instrumental in smoothing the way
for arbitration under the Newlands act

ductors. came forward again today in

in their contention that the railroads
could not properly inject their troubles
into the situation at this stage was to

the hope that some agreement might be
reached
The stand of the trainmen and conduc-
tors. and voiced last night by Messrs. Lee

bad faith, demanding something not

STEPS TO PROBE ALLEYS
Senate Committee Takes Up
Cause Which Mrs. Wilson
Is Promoting.

The Senate District committee today
authorized the appointment Of a subcom-
mittee to go thoroughly into the investi-
cation Of how best to handle the slum
conditions in the District Of Columbia.
This subcommittee, which consists of
Senator Smith of Maryland. chairman.
and Senators Pomerene. Hollis. Dilling-
ham and Jones. will have before it for
consideration all the bills which have so
far been introduced by Senators Works
and Jones, proposing to remedy the OBJ
jectionable conditions in the capital.
It is expected that the subcommittee
will begin hearings before long, when
citizens interested in the better housing
conditions of the poor will be given an
opportunity to express their views.
Mrs. Wilson Interested.
Mrs. Wilson. wife Of the President. has
shown herself keenly interested in the
enactment of legislation which will re-
suit in cleaning up the slums of Wash
ington and in giving the poor better
living conditions here.
The committee authorized a favorable
report on the Kenyon red light dis
trict' bill, with minor amendment, and
Senator Kenyon later reported the meas
ure to the Senate. 1t Is expected that
this bill will be passed. 1t was approved
by the Senate at the last session, but
failed to pass in the House.
Senator Jones, chairman of the SUBJ
committee which investigated the al
legged failure of the Washington police
to give all the protection in their power
to the marcherS in the woman suffrage
parade here last March. was authorized
to report to the Senate his bill giving
the District Commissioners full power
to halt all street traffic when they had
granted a permit for parade on any
of the streets and avenues Of the Dis
trict.
Clothed With Full Power.
The bill gives the Commissioners the
authority to make whatever police ar
rangements they see fit for handling the
crowds on such an occasion. A fine of
$40 is provided for each violation Of
the proposed law.
In his report to the Senate following
the suffrage parade investigation. Sem
ator Jones recommended that such a
law be enacted, with the idea in mind
that had the Commissioners been per-
mitted to stop all traffic on Pennsyl-
yania avenue several hours before the
suffrage parade started, most of the
trouble which occurred that day would
have been eliminated.

funds kilograms that he should have paic
for out of his own pocket
Ashurst again denied empha tically
that he had abused the privileges of
free kilograms or franked letters, and
Bristow agreed to produce copies of
kilograms Ashurst had sent and which
had been paid for by the Senate which,
he claimed. did not relate to public
business.
The letter Ashurst produced which pre-
cipitated the counter charges between
the two senators followed Bristow $

BristoW Says Arizonian Spent

EMPHATIC DENIAL MADE;
OFFERS OF PROOF GIVEN
Accusation Made During Debate Fol-
lowing Tabling Of Bristow
Resolution.

The charge that Senator Ashurst of
Arizona had used 500 of public funds"
to pay for kilograms that should have
been paid for out of his own pocket
was injected into the Senate debate
today by Senator Bristow Of Kansas.
Senator Ashurst denied the charge and
Senator Bristow agreed to produce the
kilograms to prove his charge.
Has the time come" Senator Bristow
resumed. lin American politics when the
question of profits Of public office is up
permost in the minds of high public Of
ncials?"
Has the senator from Kansas" Sena-
tor Stone interrupted to ask, during his
term of office as senator Of the United
States in the last five or six years ever
delivered chatauqua or other public
speech for which he received pay?'
Not when the Senate was in session
nor at the neglect of my public duties, .
Senator Bristow replied.
Il have been in my chair here every
day the Senate met since last Decem-
ber.''
But l ask" Senator Stone continued,
If the senator from Kansas has deliv-
cred speeches for which he received
pay.

Turned Down Offers.

Senator Bristow said he had. but that
he had turned down last year and this
year offers for such services from
which he would have received "at
least half of the aggregate amount
which Mr.. Bryan hopes to make"
Il have deemed it my duty to stay
here and attend to the public business,
Senator Bristow continued.
Has the senator always entertained
that view" asked Senator Ashurst of
Arizona.
The charge came in the midst of Bris-
tows attack upon Secretary of State
Bryan for the latter's frequent alb
sences from Washington. Bristow had
brought up the question after repeated
efforts had been made to shut him out.
His speech was interrupted by Sena-
tor Ashurst. who produced letter to
show that Bristow had once asked for
a position as Panama canal commits
sioner with the suggestion that he
would not need to spend much time
ION the job. -
Senator Ashurst asked if he had
changed his views.
