ARE IN READINESS FOR STRIKE ORDER Railroad Managers Accused of Playing Employees in
 Bad Faith.
DENIAL IS MADE
Seth Low Openly Charges Scheme to Reduce Salaries of Rail-
 road Men.

New York, July 1S.-A. E. Garretson and w. c. Lee, representing the 2S,00O disgruntled conductors and trainmen 1 on the eastern railroads, today noti- fled the chairman of all the unions in- volved to hold themselves in readiness for an immediate strike order The communication characterized the arbitration scheme, proposed by the railroad managers, as nothing short of a plan to reduce the pay of every man in the service, instead of giving the twenty per cent increase which is demanded
 While the notice to leaders called an ultimatum was being drawn, Seth Low, president of the National Civic Federation, was addressing the com ference committee of the railroads It is known that Mir. Lows statement amounted to charge that the railroad officials were guilty of breach of faith with their employees by not agreeing to arbitrate the wage ques- tion before other grievances are taken up.
 Chairman eLo, of the managers, to- night sent letters to Messrs. Lee and Garretson, of the Unions, and also mailed a copy to Seth Low, in which he delies that the railroads intended to violate any of the pledges they have agreed to.
 Lee and Garretson refuse to con- ment on the letter tonight, but in- structed all of the different chairmen of the unions involved to hold them- selves in readiness for a strike order.
 There will be meeting of the com mittee of the one hundred union exe- cutives tomorrow morning.

STAMPS MULHALL
 AS A PERJURER Candidate McClave, Before Senate Committee, Asks
 For Proof.
THE COMMITTEE FAILS
TO Produce Evidence Asked For and Mulhall Evidence May Be
 Refuted.

1 Washington, July 1S.-S. Wood Mo- Clave, candidate for Congress in the ] Sixth New Jersey District, tonight stamped Col. M. M. Mulhall, confess ed ex-agent of the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers, a liar and a perjurer.
 McClave told story which attacks at it's foundation the whole narrative which Mulhall has been laboriously building up during the week that he has been before the Senate Lobby In vestigating Committee.
 But for the first time since Mulhall began testitying corroborative facts, figures and names to back ID his story, were demanded and not pro- duced, aSd the effect is to cast doubt upon every statement which he has made.
 Incidentally, the McClave affair has opened up dissension in the rank of the committed; Senator Nelson, one of the Republican members, charging that his Democratic colleagues are making use of the investigation for partisan purposes.
 McClave made his most Illuminating point on what Senator Walsh had evi- dently planned to be the crushing blow against the witness. The senator has been questioning McClave about the money that had been spent in the district by Mulhall, and he impress sively produced on McClave's demand, an itemized account of the expendi- lures. McClave took hold of it, and ran his eye down the list.
 'Is this all the list%' he asked quiet ly.
 What more do you want?" inquir- ed Senator Walsh.
 -Four thousand dollars worth more, " answered McClave, 'I see an account of only $4OO expended here, and he claims to have spent $4,5O0 but he does not mention names. Anybody could make out list like this. Let him furnish list of his workers. And I'd like to see few receipted bills, too. Moreover these expenditures are only for the Second district" Senator Walsh looked up at the wit ness non-plused, and dropped the list. Not single question was put
 
 It is the vital weakness of the whole Mulhall story. There is not an atom of truth accompanying. Neither Senator Reed nor Senator Walsh succeeded in making the slight est impression upon him.

knew positively that MT. Coleman would not sit by and sanction a wrong on his people if there were any | grounds whatever for alleged frauds in the recent Democratic primary.
 After going over the court proceed ings that were brought about during the Brundidge contest, Senator Cov- ington declared "A few more decis- ions like Martineau's will render the recall of the judiciary exceedingly popular in Arkansas"
 "Seventy-two of the 75 counties in the state will have the name of Judge Hays on the ticket next Wednesday, D said the speaker, "but I believe that thirty-five of them could have left it off and then Democracy would triumph" He denounced the efforts of Harry Myers, the Republican can- didate, to question the honesty of the Democrats in Arkansas. He referred to the carpetbagger days in this state and the disgraceful official acts that were recorded during Republican rule. He reviewed the successes that have been listed in this state under Demo- cratic administrations and referred only once to "Bolter" Hal Norwod. de- claring that he was 'more to be pitied than censured."
 He closed his eloquent address with an appeal to the Democrats to stand together and vote for Judge Hays, paying fine tribute to the able Ouachita jurist who will be elected governor by the biggest majority ever given Democrat in this state.
 Hon. w. F. Coleman was called for and responded with brief speech, in which he urged the Democrats to go to the polls Wednesday, and incident. ally he referred to the farce contest" at the capital few days ago.

shipper will make the amount of the rebate as profit. To him it is just like finding the money.
 When the special counsel was em- ployed, Joseph M. Hill, James H. Har- rod and William F. Kirby, the attor- neys went into the case without stip- ulation as to the time they were to give their services for the amount ap- proprated. They enlisted for the fight, and there was an understand ing that if the state won, they would be properly rewarded. Even the largest of the shippers, who will get the thousands of dollars in rebates, declare that the attorneys should re- ceive additional compensation for their work. and they are willing to have per centage deducted from their rebate in order that this might be paid without the state having to bear the expense.
 The amount to be refunded to ship ptTS dlu tTdNt1eGS IS eSllIIdicu lTOIIl $1000.000 to $4,000.000, while the cost to the tax payers has been only $63, 900. It is suggested but not in the intervention or any papers which will be filed in court, that the attorneys fees be increased to make the total cost to the state $10r,009
 
 If the intervention is granted by Judge Trieber, the special master who determines the amount to be refunded to each shippers or traveller, will de- duct a specific per cent. The first $65,000 of this would be returned to the state treasury, helping out the de- pleted general revenue fund, and the other $35,000 would go to the attor- neys.
 Gov. FutIell joined Attorney Gener- al Moose in the intervention, in behalf of the State of Arkansas.

HAD MANY FEATURES

Forty acres of people" attended the annual reunion and barbecue giv- en by the Sons of Veterans in honor of the Ben Mccullough Camp, U. c. ", at Star City yesterday. Several hundred Pine .Bluffians attended the annual affair and were well enter tained. 1t was impossible to estimate the great crowd, but one of the at tendants stated last night that it covered forty acres.
 The Pine Bluffians went to Star City on special train and many of them made the trip in autos and rigs. The barbecue, at which $500 pounds of kill, mutton, pork and beef, was served, was the most attractive feature of the day. The crowd was orderly and we'll handled.
 Captain Crook, commander of the Mccullough camp, presided and Hon. Creed Caldwell, of this city, was the principal speaker of the day. He paid a beautiful tribute to the old veterans and the good women. of the South. Hon. w. B. Sorrells, l, of this city, and Hon. Pat Henry, of Monti- cello. who were also on the program could not attend owing to personal business.

Intervention Will Be Filed in State Rate Case at Lit
 tie Rock Today.
BIG AMOUNT IS ASKED
Money Will Be Restored to the State Treasury and Given
 Attorneys.

Little Rock, July 18.-For the pur- pose of making the shipper pay back to the tax payers of the state the ex- penses of the rate litigation between state aud the railroads. Attorney Gen. eral w. L. Moose Saturday morning will file in the United States court. an intervention in the case of the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt rail- roads against the members of the Ar kansas Railroad Commission.
 At the beginning the State appro- priated $50,00O for the purposes of employing special counsel to fight the increase in freight and passenger rates. To this was added $15,0O0 to pay the expenses of taking an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, where the State of Arkansas recently won it's case and the railroads have already begun to charge lower freight and passenger rates.
 When the railroads, through their injunction against the state laws, granted by the federal court, put into effect the increased rates. the shipper merely added the increased cost to the selling price. and the consumer paid for the freight rates in the end. The shipper lost nothing, yet he is now about to collect large sums, if he was a large shipper, in rebates for the ov- exchanges. The taxpayer bore the ex- pense of the litigation and if the prayer of the petition filed by the at torney general is not granted, the

APPEAL MADE ID
 GREAT BRITAIN Administration Said to Have Asked Aid to Solve Mexi-
 can Troubles.
JAPAN IS CALLED OFF
Frantic Message is Sent to Mexico City. Demanding Protection
 For Foreigners.

Washington, July 1S.-Startling de- velopmeats in world diplomacy af- fecting Great Britain, the United States, Japan and Mexico were re- yealed today to the International News Service by an official who is intimately familiar with the affairs of the administration.
 The administration, it is learned from this course, in despair over it's inability to settle the dangerous Japanese problem and the men, acing Mexican problem which was thrust on it suddenly and dramatical- ly by concert of the powers at Mex ico City has appealed to Great Brit ain to extricate this country from it's grave accommodating international diff ficulty.
 It is asserted on this authority that when Secretary Bryan yesterday sent the reply to Japan which was clam bring for an answer, there was also dispatched simultaneously note from Great Britain begging her ally, Japan, to accept as final the ans wer of the United States.
 The object of this was, that the United States by the good graces os Great Britain exerting pressure on her ally, Japan, would be in posi- tion to give her whole attention to Mexico and to be able to offer Great Britain, Germany and France a free hand in that country with certain limitations. Under this agreement, England, Germany or France, with Japan eliminated as a factor of dan ger, may go into Mexico, protect their citizens and property and col lect overdue claims to those coun- tries out of the revenues of Mexico, the sole exception to foreign access sion being that none of the countries named shall acquire territory in Mex ico in lieu of indemnity.
 This ingenious plan of dealing with Mexico obviates the difficulty recog- nized by President Wilson of recog- nizing Huerta as dejure president and also obviates intervention with the army and navy of the United States in Mexico.
 Immediately after the Cabinet meet ing today the administration began to show signs of restored animation as compared with avowed policy of in- action given to the press yesterday.
 A rush telegram was sent to the American charge d'affairs at Mexico City, asking him to go immediately to the Mexican foreign office and de- mand that federal troops be sent to restore order in Durango. He was also instructed to see that the troops be sent from the nearest point, Tor reon, rather than from the more dis tant point.
 It is understood that these frantic orders, were sent today on represen- .tations madea sometime ago; by the American consul, MT. Ham, at Du- rangb, that protection for Americans and foreigners was needed there.

Spoke to Large Crowd at Court House in This City
 Last Night.
REVIEWS CONTEST"
Pays Tribute to Judge Hays and Urges Democrats to Be
 Loyal to Party.

"When the Republican party talks about purifying Democracy it reminds me of the Devil rebuking sin"
 This was one of the characteristic utterances of Senator Webb Coving- ton, of Clarksville, Ark, who last night addressed a gathering of sever- al hundred Democrats of this city and county, and many ladies, from the steps of the Jefferson county cor/t house. He spoke in the interest of the Democratic party and principally in behalf of the Democratic nominee for governor. The speaker is one of the hest orators in the state and for more than an hour he lambasted the Repub- licans and Bull Moosers and sang the praises of Democracy. He was many times interrupted by applause.
 Senator Covington was sent to this city by the State Democratic Central Committee. He was met at Union Station on his arrival in the afternoon by a reception committee of Demo- crats and taken over the city in an automobile.
 Senator Covington was introduced by Chairman Edgar Brewster, of the Jefferson County Democratic Central Committee. He said that he had sup ported Col. Brundidge for governor, but that he would abide by the major ity rule and would never be bolter. He was doing all he can now, he said, to bring about the election of Judge Hays, the Democratic nominee. Sheriff Brewster referred to the time when he had felt the sting of alleged fraud in an election, but even then, despite the urging of frinds, he would not bolt the party, and he says he has since been thankful for it.
 Senator Covington declared he was glad to be in Pine Bluff, where so many good Democrats live. He class ed himself as loyal Democrat, de- clared that he had never sulked in his tent to permit the opposition to cap ture the banner that rightfully be- longs to the Democrats of Arkansas. He said he met Colonel Harry Myers. the Republican candidate for gover- nor, and representative of the Bull Moose nominee at Mansfield, Ark, on Thursday and that the Democrats of that section were standing together for the Democratic nominee.
 The speaker defended the action of the Democratic State Central Commit tee in declaring Judge Hays the nomi- nee and reviewed the so-called Brun- dldge contest from it's start to the end. He believed that Col. Brundidge had been ill-advised by friends in bringing the contest. Senator Coving- ton took occasion to pay tribute to Hon. w. F. Coleman, central commit teeman from Jefferson county. He termed him an absolutely fair man, an able lawyer and a worthy standard bearer of the victorious party in the Democratic ranks, He said that he

MINE OFFICIALS
 HAVE THEIR SAY  Declare That Conditions At Jenny Lind Are Not as
 Reported.
WILL MAKE A FIGHT
Question Authority of Labor Commis- siOner to Close Mine With.
 out Notice.

L1ttle ROCK, July 1S.-FOr several weeks the conditions of mines in Se- bastiaA county have been aired by state officials, with little being said by the mine operators in their de- fense, and the mere silence on the part of the operators indicates they are prepared to dispute the claims of the officials, and will do so when the proper time comes.
 There has been great deal said about the water conditions at the Jenny Lind mines,'' stated coal mine official in Little Rock Friday afternoon. and it is claimed the miners cannot get sufficient water. that they cannot buy Ice, and that the company store at that camp is closed at o'clock every night so that they cannot even get a drink of soda pop to quench their thirst
 Now this is very strange indeed. and the company is all to blame for It II we are to believe all we hear. but l am very familiar with the conditions there. and the operators are not responsible for them. The miners forced the clerks in the store to organize union. When the union was formed the demand was made that the store close at 6 o'clock every night, and when the company refused the miners struck to force the reco0. milton of the clerks and their de- mands.
 Ut is strange that the miners can- not get water and ice when they can get two cars of beer every week and they have ice to keep that as cold as any beer you can get in Little Rock. They cannot afford to buy ice for water, but there are more miners mak- ing $S to $10 day in Jenny Lind than there are union men in Little ROCK making $4. doubt very much that they need five buckets of water day with so much beer on hand. and 1t in dry town too.
 They claim the water Is delivered every morning to the homes of the miners. and placed in a beer kex which stands in the front yard. Where do all these beer kegs come from? They seem to be very plenti- full"
 W. L. safferfield. sales agent for the Central Coal & Coke Company. asserts that the State Mine Inspec- tor cannot close a mine until after he has filed information before the circuit judge, and this has not been done in Sebastian county.
 Tt is claimed that our mine ae Bonanza was shut down by the in- spector." states MT. Satterfield. .but this is hardly the case. The inspect- or visited the mine June 30 and re- commended some improvements. On July 1 the mine caught on fire and the machinery all burned. The mine has been closed since because VI have to get new machinery to operate 1t. No one has been in 1t since but one employe who goes daily to test the gas and permit action in case 1t begins to accumulate. ]"
