EDITORIAL NOTES

The first Young Mems Christian As- eociation was organized in London in 7S44 by George Williams, who was knighted and became Sir George Will Hams in 1894, and who died eight years ago today. The father of the Y. M C. Az was born in Dulverton, Somer- setshire, in 1921 At the age of twenty he went to London a junior assist ant in the drapery establishment of Hitchcock 6 Rogers. The young man from the country. like so many others who have gone from small towns and rural districts to a large city, was very lonely, and, although he made many friends among his fellow employees, they had no place where they could spend their leisure with pleasure and profit to themselves. The Somerset shire lad suggested a. social club and this idea met with the approval of his employers, who provided a room in which their young men could meet. In 1914 this informal organization devel- oped into the first Young Mems Chris tlon Association, with a, charter mem bership of thirteen-certainIy not an unIucky number in this case. The pur- pose Of this pioneer Y- M c. A. was to improve the spiritual condition of the young men engaged in the drapery and other trades
 Is Dr. Frederick Franz Friedmann the Doe Cook of medical science, a charlatan to be condemned for arous- ing false hopes of a cure in the breasts Of thousands of victims of the white Plague2
 who has made a really epocha1 discov- cry, which will yet prove to be all that he claims for it2
 Perhaps a majority of medical men of America and Europe now believe that F'riedmann's turtle serum cure for tuberculosis, which was first an- nounced just a year ago today is if not absolutely worthless,s at least vast 1y overrated- The chorus of condem- nation is, however, far from being uni versal. Medical men of the highest standing are still to be found among those who believe that Dr. Friedman will yet be hailed as the conqueror of the white plague.
 If Dr. Friedmann's claims for his ~'cure' should eventually be substan- tiated. the world would have cause to celebrate the sixth of November as one Df the most momentous days in the calendar, for 1t was on that date in 1912 that the originator of the turtle serum announced his discovery in an address before the Berlin Medical So- ciety.
 Since his visit to the United States and Canada which he promises to re- peat in the near future, Dr. Fried mann has been experimenting with his serum in a little clinic in Berlin. He has been assisted by Prof Carl Lud- wig Schleich, a physician of high standing in German medical circles Dr. Friedman declares that 1000 pa- tientS have been treated with his vac cine, with such favorable effects that he is convinced that the world will ye1 recognize the tremendous value of his discovery
 Against this statement of the dis
 
 placed the opinion of other eminent medical men who question or com pletely deny the contentious of Dr Friedmann.

Washington, July 14-Whether a strike of trainmen and conductors of the eastern railroad may be avoided was the subject Of a conference at the White House today between Prestdenri Wilson a1zd repr essntatives of the sfn- ployes and the railroads concerned
 President Wilson, Secretary Wilson Chairman Newlands, of the Senate In terstate Commerce Committed. Chair man Clayton of the House Judiciary committee, and Republican Leader Mann represented the governmeut. President Samuel Rea of the Pennsvl- vania, Daniel Willard of the Baltimore 6 Ohio, Geo. w. Stevens of the Chez apeake & Ohios w. C. Brown of tI1s New York Central lines, and Fraufr I. arurnoun, chairman of the Board oE the Chesapeake and Ohio, represented the railroads. President 4. B. Gar retsan of the Order of Railway crn- ducductors and W. c. Lee Of the Broth erhood Of Railroad T,raiuraen repre- scented the employees
 Seth Low, President of the Civic Federation which has endorsed the Newlands bill for aEnendinr the Frd- man Act to provide arbitfation Of faii- road wage disputes in a manner satfr- factory to the railroad men, also war expected to take Eart in tlle- discus- sion.
 Today's conference between the rai5-
 
 chiefly two bills pending in congress for amendment of the Erdman act pro viding means for arbitration of wage disputes It is understood that both the Brotherhoods and the railroads are satisfied with the Newlands Dill ai- ready passed, but that the Clayton bill, introduced in the House, largely at the instance of Secretary Wilson, is not so satisfactory. The latter pro poses that the Secretary of Labor should be included as one of the om- cial mediators. There has been con siderable objection to that feature
 Acceptance by the House of the Newlands bill, as it has passed the Senate, which also has been approved by the Civic Federation, would un- doubtedly remove the possibility of a strike.
 While the President has taken no stand in the matter, he let 1t be known that he did not regard as a serious obstacle, the composition of the board of mediation, though he felt that it was an important question
 Senator Newlands declared today that the emergency shor1d bring the House to immediate action on the Senate bill He had hopes that the White House conference would lead to some definite concluglon.
 ''The bill which passed the Senate. said Senator NewIands 'is unques- tionably favorable to the public inter- est.

 Fairfield, July 14-John Gray, a. sus- pected yeggman was his own lawyer when arraigned in the Fairfield town court this morning on a burglary charge, and though Gray displayed considerable knowledge of court pro- cedure and the rights of an accused man, probable cause was found in his case and he was held for trial before the superior court, under bonds of $2,- 50e. He was unable to furnish bail and was taken to the Bridgeport Jail.
 Gray alias John O'Conne1, is ac- cused with John Truax, and two other men giving the names of Goodwin and Herrick of having blown the safe in the store of Charles R. Wyrtzen in the Fairfield post office building on the night of January 19. Former Postmas- ter Pickett who was aroused by the noise made by the burglars, appeared with a gun and drove the robbers away before they secured anything of value.
 Truax was later arrested in New York for another burglary and it is said he confessed the Fairfield crime and implicated Cray. In court this morning Detectives McCann and Fitz-

gerald connected with the New York Central Detective office, testified that Gray had told them he took part in the Fairfield burglary and also that he had been concerned in burglary at Litchheld where $5,ooo was secur- ed
 Gray, as counsel for himself, ques- toned the detectives concerning his alleged confession: Turning to Justice Bacon Wakeman who was presiding, he said:
 tsrhis is a frame-up, your honor. Do you think 1t is likely that if I had been concerned in these burglaries I would voluntarily confess them to these officer. I tell you it Is frame up. Seven years ago made an agree ment with the district attorney of New York;
 At this juncture Justice Wakenan interrupted Gray to say that anything that he might say would be used against him.
 stAlI right, your honor said Gray, 'I will wait for a. more favorable time and opportunity to tell my story" He then sat down. Justice Waxeman then held him for the Superior court as told above.

Smoot's Substitute
 For Wool Schedule Is Lowest Ever

Washington, July 14-Senator Shoot, Republican member of the finance committee, introduced today substitute for the wool schedule of the Under wood Simmons bill, proposing rates based directly upon the report of the tariff board and adopting in each grade the lowest rate. The schedule is lower than introduced last year by Senator Penrose as a substitute for the Underwood wool bill and is the lowest of all wool schedules ever in- troduced by Republican Senator.
 As a substitute for free raw wool, the Shoot schedule divides raw wool into three grades and establishes rates ranging from to cents per pound. per pound if secured and Is cents per pound on cleaned content.
 WooIs of class two, made dutiabIe at 14 cents per pound, if secured, and 13 cents on cleaned content in the grease. WooIs of class three, dutiable at T cents per pound If imported in their natural state, and 1A cents ii secured. A drawback of 99 per cent is provided for on woo1s Of class three used in the United States for the man ufacture of carpets, druggets, mats floor rugs, hassocks, art squares, etc. which would make carpet wools lprac- s4icaIly free Of duty. The duty on rwooIs or hair on-the skin would be one cent less per pound, fn every case, than on the wool content
 Manufactured goods and wools ad- vanced beyond the natural state in the rates of the Snoot bill are cor respondfngly lower than present rates.
 The schedule contains a provision that the rates on raw wooIs should be effective November 1, 1913, and on wool manufactures January 1, 1914.

President Wilson DevOtes Entire Day. to Conference Arranged to
 Prevent Strike
LEE AND GARRE1SON HAVE FINAL WORD
None But They Know When General Strike Will Be Called on Eastern Railroads This Is Delayed Pending Outcome
 of Conference in Washington

New York, July 14.-The Railroads involved in the wage controversy with the trainnlen and conductors issued a statement this afternoon through the conference committee of managers saying that they were willing to arbi- trate the questions at issue under the provisions of the NewIands bill now before Congress, but were still un- willing to proceed under the Erdmau act. This is the roads reply to the ultimatum submitted by the unions yesterday.
 Labor leaders and railroad heads looked toward washington today, hope full of favorable outcome of the con- ference with President Wilson through whom officers of the National Civic Federation. railroad representatives, and officers of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen and the Order of Railway Conductors were to seek a solution of the wage demand crisis, involving nearly 100 900 men and for ty-dve eastern roads. The roads hay ing refused to arbitrate under the Erd-
 man Act in it's, present form and the employees having refused to- modify their demands, apparently the only way out lay in a change of the law by increasing the number of arbitrators from three to six, thus eliminating the railroads chief objection to the act.
 With strike authorized by over wheInning majority and ratified by general committees of both unions, President Lee and Garretson of the Trainmen and Conductors, respective 1y, were authorized last night to de- lay calling a walk-out pending the outcome of the Washington confer ence. Both left for Washington last night.
 The conference coSpmittee of rail- road mana gers went into session short ly after 10 o'clock and received from the unions formal notification that the strike vote was ratified yesterday. The statement, in the form of a letter, was substantially the same as given out by Messrs. Lee and Garretson yes terday and set forth that the general committee of the unions have au- thorized Lee and Garretson to fix the hour at which these organizations will retire from service"
 Here the letter adds that Lee and Garretson have at the earnest solici- tation of distinguished interests" been a authorized to attend today's confer ence at Washington
 The general committee of 100 IS st1ll here. Lee and Garretson expect to return to New York tomorrow morn ing. Before leaving they said that the hour for calling the men out in the event no settlement coul abe reached, was unknown to anybody outside CT themselves
