ings of the Board of
Mediation
RAILROADS AND MEN
AWAIT THE RESULT
The Men Have Been Told to
Be Ready to Go on
Strike

New York, July l9.--Both railroads
and unions were prepared to play the
waiting game to-day in the matter of
the scope of arbitration proceedings
looking to settlement Of the wage
dispute involving forty five lines and
nearly 100000 men.
The general committee of 100 Brother
hood of Railroad Trainmen and Order of
Railway Conductors met to consider last
nights letter from the railroad manag
ers, in which they offered to leave to the
newly appointed board of mediation and
conciliation the question as to whether
the roads grievances shall be arbitrated
along with the mems demand for in
creased wages.
While the unions have insisted that
this proposal was not even debatable
and have instructed all their members
to be ready to strike, il is understood
they will await the decision of the me-
diators although neither side has agreed
to abide by their findings

REBELS DEFEATED.
Army of 1000 Lost in Battle With 1000
Loyal Soldiers.

Pekin, July 19.-Four thousand south
ern rebels from Nanking, province of
Kiang su, who had crossed the Yang
tse- kiang to attack the northerners, met
with defeat yesterday at the hands of
1000 troops near Suchowfu which is in
the northwestern part of Kiangsu prov
ince and short distance across the
northern border of Anhwei province.
Dr. Sun Vat Sen, former provisional
president of the republic, finally has TAX
en- sides in the revolt by openly pro-
ceeding to Nanking, where the south
erners apparently are much disheartened
by their defeat.
Wu-chang, capital of the province of
Hu-heh, remains loyal to the govern
ment, and Indications are that other CEN
ters which had declared in favor of the
southern revolutionists are preparing to
renew their allegiance One big defeat
OF the revolters practically would end
the rebellion. while substantial victory
by them would result in a unanimity of
sentiment in their favor in many of the
southern provinces.

$4,000 trainmen and conductors. The
call was issued late last night by Judge
William Lea Chambers, whose appoint
ment as commissioner with those of the
members of the board, was sent to the
Senate by President Wilson earlier in
the day
According to custom the nominations
were referred to a committee and will
not be reported back to the Senate un-
til to-day but their immediate confirma-
tion is considered certain. and Judge
Chambers is getting ahead with plans
for the boards work. The Judge will
leave Sunda< night for New York to
confer with representatives of the rail
roads and the employees and it is not
likely that the controversy will be
brought officially to the attention of
the board before that time.
The first meeting of the board would
have been held yesterday afternoon but
of the members, Louis f. Post, assist
ant secretary of labor, it was decided
to wait until to-day. A telegram was
sent to Mr. Post urging his return.
Judge Chambers said last night that
the board would sit permanently in
Washington and he hoped to have as
many of the meetings here as possible.
Speaking of his call at the White
House yesterday to thank President
Wilson for his appointment, he said that
he never met the president before. The
president told him he had appointed the
man who was almost universally favored
for the position.

fore a girl of about twenty years of age
had entered the store and showed Mr..
Vail one of the rings. She was appar-
emily honest about the matter and said
she had found il in the dressing room
of the hotel. She asked his advice in
the matter of disposng of it and he d.
reeted her to the newspapers, where
she could advertise and also told her
to tell the management of the hotel

did neither. and it was not until Mr.

ENDS ooo-MILE FLIGHT.
Chicago to Detroit Trip Most Remark
able Ever Made by Flying Boats.

Detroit, Mich, July 10 Beckwith Ha-
vens completed flying boat trip from
Chicago to Detroit shortly after o'clock
yesterday afternoon. He followed the
route planned for the Chicago to Detroit
aviation cruise and covered 900 miles.
1t is said to have been the most remark
able trip ever undertaken by flying
boats.
Although it was announced a few DAYS
ago that the cruise. which started from
Chicago July 8. had been called off be-
cause the private committee which raised
bonus money was reported to have
withdrawn the pirzes, 4. P. Noel, stew
ard of the Aero club of America, said
here yesterday afternoon that the cruise
itself would stand and that Hayens
would be the winner.
The trouble over the prize money is
said to have been caused by the failure
Of large number of expected entrants
in the contest to get away, and by
weather conditions and accidents which
delayed the three ayiators who started.
Those three were Havens, Roy |. Francis
and Glenn L. Martin. The latter two
while at Pentwater, Mich, July Is, de-
cided to give up the cruise, and Martin
announced that Havens also had agreed
to discontinue the contest because the
prize money had been withdrawn. Ha-
vens, however, decided later to finish the
trip and show, he said, that the cruise
was feasible.
Havens lost four full days and parts
of others waiting at various ports for
better weather conditions. On the morn
ing of July Is, after Francis and Martin
had decided to withdraw, Havens start
ed out from Charlevoix and made what
he claims to have been record flight
for a single day, 200 miles. Thursday
he reached Port Sanilic, north of Port
Huron, and yesterday easily covered the
100 miles to Detroit.
When he landed he had used up his
last drop of gasoline and the last five
miles were made practically on the wa
ter. j. B. Yer Planck, owner of the fiy-
ing boat, accompanied Havens as pas
senger throughout the trip.
