ROADS TACTICS
Increased Capacity OF Freight
Cars Without Raising OPP
Grating Cost

New York, Sept 16-The arbitrator
who will, decide the wage dispute of
the eastern railroads and trainmen re-
ceived statistics yesterday indicating
that the roads have increased the size
and capacity of freight cars without
increasing the cost of operation. The
witness was DR.. Frank J. Warne, pro-
lessor of economies at the University
of Pennsylvania The employees will
use his figure to argue that either
the train crew should have been in
creased or wages raised.
DR.. Warne admitted that he had no
practical experience in rai1roading,
that his testimony was based wholly
upon statistics, in which he claimed to
be an expert
He said that owing to the great
danger to life in the work of moving
trains, insurance companies and fra
terna1 societies would accept life risks
upon such workmen only to t'def1n-
tie limit Or at advanced rates.

PROPERTY OWNERS
OPPOSE WARRENITE
FOR UNION SQUARE

Frederick G. Mullins, former Mayor
Henry H. Pyle and S. w. GledhiI1,
appeared at a public hearing in the
Common Council chamber last night
on a petition to lay permanent pave
ment in Union Square. All three were
street: All favored a pavement which
would not be slippery for horses. Mr.
Mullins said in part:
Il believe Union square should be
paved with some sort of permanent
pavement but am opposed to hav-
ing it paved with Warrenite. This
street is an outlet from the freight
house to Main street and is much
used by trucks and other horse drawn
vehicles. I believe with former May
or Pyle that the street should be paw
ed, not with smooth pavement ar
ranged for AUTOMOBILES but with some
thing on which the horses will not
Slip
For fifteen years I have been in
business at Main street and Union
square and during all that time the
pavement in Union square has been
most unsatisfactory
Mayor Wilson and Mr.. Mullins then
had a little discussion on the relative
Wfarren1te and Mr. Mullins said he
would be satisfied with any pavement
50 long it was not slippery.
Former Mayor Pyle said:
L own property on this street and
for nine years nothing has been done
to put it in condition for the heavy
| traffic which passes over it except to
occasionally dump in a, few loads of
broken Stone. I think Warrenite
would be too slippery pavement to
| lay on this street. The street is only
25 feet wide. The sidewalks are sew
en- feet wide on one side and nine on
the other. Your street committee may
find it advisable to widen the street
and make the sidewalks uniform before
paving it,
| Mr. GIedhin who headed the petit
ton to have the street paved, said he,
| too, was property owner in that
| section and that for years little at
tention had been paid to the pavement
there while the traffic over it from the
freight house below to Main street
constantly increased. He did not
favor Warrenite for pavement but
thought a pavement should be laid
which would make the oging easy for
horses.

Washington. Sept 16-secretary Car
rison is wondering today, whether the
country is SO. fond of the army ssas
he was led to believe on his recent in
epection trip. Everywhere the head
of the land fighting force went he was
assured of the hearty admiration that
the army commanded Today, a let

mind that he may have been the vic

The letter was from a resident OF
Minneapolis detailing how three army
officers from Fort Smelling were re-
fused accommodations by hotels at

is anxious to discover whether the in

PUT POISONED CANDY
IN CHILDREN'S PATH

Atlantic City, N. J., Sept. 16-Wha
is believed to have been an attempt
to commit murder with chocolates, in
each of which had been placed enough
.bich1oride of mercury to kill two per-
sons. was frustrated by two servants
in Chelsea yesterday. The police have
the box of chocolates and are making
an effort to hunt down the man who
placed them on the sideW ak in front
of children who were approaching
from an opposite direction.
The domestics noticed that the man
acted strangely. He came up Hartford
Avenue from the direction of the board
walk He wore no hat, and appeared
excited. He went as far as Winches-
ter Avenue laid the box of chocolates
on the sidewalk, and then took to his
heels. The children picked up the
candies, and were about to sample the
contents when the servants appeared
and took the sweets away. They called
Policeman Geiger, and told him of the
occurrence. He took the candies to
q, physician near by, who discovered
that bfch1oride had been inserted in
the bottom of the candies.
Satisfied then that the candy had
been placed there for the purpose of
murder the policeman took the candy
to headquarters, where it was analysed
by Police Surgeon J. T. Beckwith. He
said there was sufficient poison in
each candy to kill two persons Chief
Woodruff assigned three or four men
to hunt up the man, a, good description
of whom was given by the servants
who had seen the candy deposited on
the sidewalks. Although they search
ed all over Chelsea, they failed to find
him.
