WASHINGTON, July 15.-That the
honor of averting the railroad strike
which threatened TO tie up the com
merce of the entire eastern part of
the United States belongs to Mrs. j.
Borden Hartman, New York soci-
ETY. leader and niece OF E. H. Harri-
man, late railroad king, was admit
ted at the White House to-day.
Mrs. Hartman, the only woman ev-
er appointed a member Of the indus
trial commission, heard rumors Of a
strike about two months ago in New
York before the trouble found its
way into print.
Put Matter Before Wilson.
Mrs. Hartman came at once to the
President and placed the matter be-
fore him, laying emphasis on the fact
that the strike would tie up Eastern
commerce and might seriously dam
age the record Of the Democratic ad-
ministrati6n.
She also suggested that the Presi-
dent call a conference between the
railroad leaders and the representa-
tives of the employees. This IT was
thought not wise to do because of the
danger of charges of undue White
House influence"
Suggest Plan That Wins.
Mrs. Hartman then asked II the
President would be willing to SUI
pervise the conference il she could
engineer 1t through the Civic Fedora
ton.
This President Wilson agreed to do
and when the strike was about to be
called he presided over the conference
and induced both sides to arbitrate.

JOY RIDER HELD
 FOR HIGH COURT
Bonds of $500 Are Furnished For Da- vid H. McGrath of Now London.

David H. McGrath, 22 years old, was bound over to the superior court Tues day morning by Police Judge .Colt or the New London police court Tor tax ing and operu ting the motor car Of pr. Charles B. Graves without permission, of the owner. Judge Colt said the of- fense was a serious one and he did not feel justified in fixing the bond at as low figure as s2o0. on which Mo Grath had been at liberty since his ar rest. The judge ordered bond or $500 and this sum was posted as sure ty for the young mans appearance at the May term of court.
 McGrath demurred to the complaint. It was stated by Prosecuting Attorney e.ronin, that the Graves car had been stored in the garage in which Mc- Grath was employed as night washer. Sunday morning McGrath took 1t out and came to grief in Main near Will Hams street by striking three differ ent trees in succession. Between s4oo and $500 damage was done the car.

 room where the automobile stood was all abiaze, the flames having leaped to the paper covering which had been festooned over the ceiling beams Sew eral pans which Chief stanton thought contained small quantities of gasolene stood around on the floor and helped spread the fire.
 Nothing but chemical was used at the fire. but 1t proved it's worth and at the same time demonstrated how valuable the auto-chemical is. for the machine was there and fighting the fire almost as soon as the telephine call had been registered at the Cen tral station. Conditions were just right for using the chemical as the fire was in an enclosed room. The flood that was poured in there from the tank choked out the fire both in the automobile and around the room. The damage will be slight. but could easily have been much greater had it not been for the prompt and effective ser vice that the department was able to give just at the right time.
