JUDGESHlP
 TO GO TO GOVERNOR Two Reports by Committee With Lit tie Prospect of Agreement.

New Haven, Conn, May 19-The Journal-Courier tomorrow will print special despatch from Hartford saying that the judiciary committee today re- ported, by a vote of : to ,. in favor of Bent for judge and De Forest for as sociate in Bridgeport In this case there will be a divided report. five of the members reporting in favor of Foster and Wilder.
 The Bridgeport case and about a dozen other cases, including Putnam and Greenwich. in which there will be two reports from the committee, will probably go to the governor, as there seems little chance of their getting through the senate and the house.
 In the Branford fight Judge Kelsey has been unanimously renamed by the committee and Deputy Judge Eads has received the same compliment.
 The committee unanimously decided to report in favor of Edward P. O'Meara for judge and John R. Booth as associate judge for the city of New Haven. There may be some opposition to this report in the house or senate.

A Strike Vote
 By Trainnen
CONVENTION DECIDES TO DIS,
 TRIBUTE BALLOTS.
A Is PER CENT. RAISE
Railroads Refused to Grant 1t or to
 Arbtrate-President Lee Says There Will Either Be Raise or Trouble.

San Francisco, May 19.-Strike bal lots will be provided and a referenduTt vote will be taken by the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen to determine what action shall follow the refusal of managers of railroads operating east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio river to consider a 15 per cent. raise in pay for conductors and brake men. This was decided on today at a convention of trainmen.
 President Lees Statement.
 This was the substance of a state ment given out tonight by w. G. Lee, president of the brotherhood, which opened a three weeks convention in this city today:
 We had a. conference with the gen eral managers of the various roads in New York several weeks ago and they refused tatly to raise the pay of train men in theIr employ to the standards maintained in the middle west, south and north, as well as on the Pacific cooast," said Mir Lee. They told us they could not afford it.
 Conference Ended in WrangIe.
 ''We-the executive officers of the Brotherhood of RaiI1 oad Trainmen- replied that the richest systems in the entire country, if not in the world. were these operating east of the Mis- sissippi and north of the Ohio.
 The conference ended in a Wrangle. The railroad managers absolutely re- fused to grant the raise asked for or even to arbitrate the question.
 Trouble if Wages Are Not Raised.
 q would not say that we will strike simply want it to be known that the wages will be raised On these roads or there will be trouble-big trouble, and lots of it."

 When rrr answer had been delivered th9 secretary and the ambassador con frrrsi earnestly for an hour regard ir- tl' general aspect of the prob lem wuIer they are trying to solve. or course tle opinions expressed were tentative. as for his part the ambas- sador felt that he might be guided entirely by the directions of the for eirr office gt Tokio and he could only surmisc what might be the attitude Of the officials at home. Meanwhile tt was understood that both the Jap aneze protest and the state depart ne1ts answer would be withheld from publication for the present at least. on the ground that it would be injudi- cious to submit the delicate questions al issue tp heated discussion in the nevvspapers and at possible mass meet tneS.

But Court Says His Act in Leaving

 In his answer Secretary Bryan is understood to have recounted at length the efforts made by the admin istration to guard against an infringe ment of the treaty rights of the Jap anese. Officials here believe that this substantially has been accomplished through the amendment of the orig inal Webb act and at any rate if the Japanese government takes a contrary view it will be an easy matter for it to test the issue in the American c0IlTfG
