ROADS YIELD POINT
ON WAGE QUESTION
Leave With Board Decision as
to Which Questions Are
to Be Submitted.

New York, July 19.-The eastern
railroads engaged in a wage contro-
yersy with their $4,000 trainmen and
conductors now indicate their will
ingness to leave with the board of
mediation and Cancellation appointed
by President Wilson the decision as
to which questions are to be sub
mitted for arbitration under the New
lands act.
In a letter to the leaders of the
trainmen the conference committee of
managers said it seemed to them that
the immediate difference of opinion
relating to the points to be submitted
for arbitration is a matter to be con-
sidered by the board of mediation and
conciliation"
The manager had referred to their
demands that "all questions 81 pay
and working conditions" be settled
along with that of the mems demand
for better wages.
The managers in their letter of July
16 setting forth their eight grievances
referred to them as the ones which the
railroads intend" to have Incorporated
in the agreement to arbitrate The
roads in their letter to the men last
night while describing their position
as unchanged, expressed themselves as
willing" to refer their demands to the
mediation board
President Lee of the Brotherhood OF
Trainmen commented upon the change
in wording. He expressed belief that
a comparison of the phraseology OF
the two letters indicated that a modi
Itcation of the roads position has taken
place within the last 48 hours.
Washington, d. c., July 19-The
new federal board of mediation and
conciliation will hold its first meeting
here today to organize and prepare fol-
immediate consideration of the contro
versy between the eastern railroads
and their $4,000 trainmen and conduc
tors. The call was issued late yes
terday by Judge William Lea Cham
bers, whose appointment as commits

bers of the board was sent to the sen

GIRL DEAD ON FENCE
BELIEVED A SUICIDE
Chicago Police Abandon Theory
That Park Death Is Due
to Foul Play.

Chicago, July 19.-An unofficial in
vestigation of circumstances surround
ing the death of young woman whose
body was found hanging from a fence
railing near Oak Forest suburb today
indicated the woman was a Swedish
or Norwegian domestic servant, and
that she committed suicide An in,
quest is to be held this afternoon.
Death apparently was due to strangu.
lation from a strip of clothing in a
moose around her neck attached to
the top rail of the fence. She was
not bound, nor were her money and
watch disturbed, except the timepiece
had stopped. The feet touched the
ground, but this, it is said, by no means
precludes the suicide theory.

tween Duluth and the twin-cities, the
rail carriers taking substantially only
a secondary part in it. Their rates, it
was urged by Duluth, had been con-

tages of location, and transfer a large

ly due them by reason of location, the
benefits varying in accordance with
the distance from lake ports.
REPLY TO TWIN-CITIEs.
The Minneapolis Traffic association
and the St. Paul Association of Com
merce assumed a great burden of the
defense of the existing rate structure
They maintained that every reason for
the maintenance of the present rates
was backed "by sound commercial,
transportation and gal principles. I.
In their arguments and briefs they
urged:
When Duluth complains of its lack
of jobbing opportunities, the Canadian
tariff wall on the one hand and the
distance to the consumer on the other,
come naturally and promptly into view
as a disadvantage of Duluth's loca,
tion.
When they complain of raiI-and
lake storage facilities that are abso
lutely Indispensable aids to competi
tion between all-rail and rail-and-lake
lines, the conclusive answer comes:
You are so unfortunately located that

In conclusion. it was maintained BIZ
the commercial bodies of the twin
cities that "Duluth's proposition is that
the people in Minnesota, South Dakota
and all Of the territory served by the
cities located therein, surrender theiI
natural advantages that Duluth ma,
flourish as jobbing center. 1t would
be glorious for Duluth, but hard or

EASTER STORM
Theories of the Tornado In ON.
aha and Other Nebraska
Towns

Omaha, April, S.-There were three
distinct and possibly four tornadoes in
Nebraska on Easter Sunday, according
to Professors Condra and Loellsnd of
the Nebraska State university, who
are here gathering scientific data on
the storm for the federal government.
They were all parts CT the same dis
turbance however. The professors de-
clared that if the twister which tore
through Berlin, Neb., had struck
Omaha it would have wiped it off the
face of the map. This explanation OF
the tornado is given by the scientists
There was a great mass of cold air
coming from rho northwest. AT the
same time there was a mass Of warmer
air moving in a lower current from
the southwest.
The two masses passed, one under
the other, the colder air above. The
colder air naturally pressed down on
the warmer air. Harder and harder il
pressed until by the great pressure.
holes were torn in the cold ali.
Then the warm air shot up in
these holes. This Stated h energy
and whiiling motion and the tornadoes
resulted. "
According to the professors holes
were torn in the cold air lowering
near Berlin, Yutan. Omaha and pos
sibly Tekamah.
From the survey Professor Condra
and Lovelland have made of the tornado
zone they figure that it varied in width
from o~ne-fourth to one-half a mile aud
that it took just 35 minutes for 1t to
cover 45 miles. 1t started at sos
o'clock and left the state at $40.
More than 5000 men and boys vol
unfairly went into the devastated dis
trict and helped clear it of its macs of
wreckage and debris.
Creighton university. Omaha uni
versity, the Central high school and
grade schools sent out their studen IL
in squads to help the workers A
spirit of civic pride WIS manifested by
all and as a result the chaotic condi-
tion of the storm swept area presents
a much better appearance.

CITY ELECTIONS
License Question Prominent. But
Other Matters to
Come Up

Mithell, April S.-One week from
today occurs the elections In a great
many cities and towns of South Dako-
ia. The principal question OF the
Endorsement or rejection of voters
will be on the license question, which.
in many places, has taken on quite
an exciting situation.
An exceptionally strong campaign is
being made in this city, which is con
duted by a civic federation, with r.
n. Holsaple in charge of the work.
A big supper has been held every Mon
day evening at one of the churches
since the campaign was opened three
weeks ago, at which the work of the
committee is planned and put into
execution during the week. The
license people have a small majority,
bat there are q great many conserva.
tive voters whose sympathies will be
tunred either way. AT Ashton there
will 5e no vote on license because of
the impossibility to secure the required
number of freeholders. Clear Lake.
aside from voting on the license ques-
-tion will decide on the issuance of
$40, 900 bonds for the erection If a
city hall building. Springfield's city
auditor is held up between two oppos-
ing sides on the presenting of the
license question. both of whom are at
tempting to advise him in the premis-
es, the auditor declaring. however,
that he will follow the law TO the let
ter, no matter whom it displeases.
At Maron the citizens will have an i'm
portant..question to settle in the pur-
chase of the plant of the Marion Light
and Water company, the city council
having made a contract for the pur-
chase of the plant for the sum of
$12. 900, which the people are asked to
reject or ratify. The sentiment is
strong for municipal ownership of these
two public utilities. Salem will have
a special election to vote ON the issu-
ancs of 50, 0O0 bonds for the purpose of
extending the city water mains this
season. An extensive campaign is be
ing carried on at Redfield to keep
the town dry another year, and many
of the business men are backing the
movement in support of two years of
dry periods in that place.
This Is an off year in elections,
in which bat very few towns will
elect a mayor, most of the vacancies
occurring in the aldermanic line.
