did RAILROAD
ATTORNEY FIND
| FEDERAL JUDGE?
Attempt to Side-track Lum-
Der Rates Prescribed by
Corporation Commission
Causes Strenuous Chase
Over State

Unless ]. c. Forrest, assistant coun-
sci for the Southern Pacific, succeeded
in locating Federal Judge William H.
Sawtelle somewhere in the hinterland
of Coconino county at late hour last
night and securing an injunction pre-
venting the corporation commission
from enforcing the new lumber rates,
the latter are now in effect. At mid
night all attempts to learn the where
tance proved fruitless, and as nothing
was known of his whereabouts at
Prescott or other points in the north
ern part of the state, it is probable
that the railroad attorney was unsuc-
cessful in locating him in time to side
track the commissions order.
While an injunction may be secured
at any time after the rates have gone
into effect, the chances of securing one
after midnight last night We're not
considered favorable to the railroads.
In the meantime the new rates which
doubtless took effect automatically at
1901 this morning will apply to all
shipments of lumber and timber from
northern Arizona. In case an injunc-
ton should be secured today, shippers
would still be entitled to reparation
under the new rates, which have al
ready been published by the Santa F'e
The fight against the new rates,
which is being waged by the Southern
Pacific, Arizona Eastern and Ell Paso
and Southwestern, started Monday with
the filing Of bill of complaint with the
attorney general and the departure of
Attorney Forrest for the Grand Canyon,
where Judge Sawtelle was supposed to
have been on camping trip in COM
pany with United States District At
tOrney Tom Flynn. Later reports from
the canyon stated that they had not
arrived there, and at a late hour yes
terday afternoon nothing had been
heard from the party, which is now
believed to have been on a fishing ex-
pedition on Oak Creek twenty miles
south of Flagstaff.
As the party are travelling in Attor-
ney Flynn's car and Counsel Forrest
was following the trail by rail, it is
not at all probable that the latter sue
ceeded in locating his quarry, and un-
this morning, where he will open fed
eral court, it is not likely that the re-
straining order will be issued.

Senator Hitchcock OF Nebraska,

publicity of all facts in view OF the
controversy that had arisen, with
several democratic senators, openly
fighting Wilson's candidate for the
important post. The Nebraskan also
discussed the merits of the case,
but the main discussion was on the
question of publicity.
When Hitchcock concluded he was
vigorously attacked Cy senator Bla.r
Lee of Maryland, democratic member
of the banking committee, for max
ing public some verbatim testimony
in Jones hearing several days ago.
This evidence was printed in sew
eral newspapers in the central west

charged Hitchcock with responsible

With Movements of Mrs.

Just Before the Killing
of Mrs. Bailey
DETECTIVES SEEK
STRANGE WOMEN
Are Trying to Run Down
Clue to Reveal Identity
of Those Leaving the
Office Shortly After the
Tragedy
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcHl

MINEOLA, July 1.-THE story of
Mrs. Florence Conkin Carman's
movements just before and after
Mrs. Louise Bailey fell to the floor
Of DR.. Edwin Carman's office with
bullet in he.- heart on the night or
June 90. was unfolded by nine wit
nesses before the grand jury. Mean
while detectives are running down a
clue which tbs believed would re-
veal the identity of two strange wo-
men seen hurrying from the doctors
office a few minutes after the trag-
edy.
These women, it is believed, may
be able to corroborate the testi-
mony Of Elwood Bardes at the in
quest, and the story told the grand
jury today by Celia Coleman, a ne
gro maid in the Carman home. 1t
was Bardes' statement that he saw
q woman dressed as Mrs. Carman
was dressed walk from outside the
window of the doctors office imme-
diately after the shot was fired that
was responsible for the arrest of
Mrs. Carman.
At the inquest Celia Coleman, flat
ly denied that she had seen Mrs.
Carman on the night of the murder
from the time her mistress left the
dinner table until fifteen minutes af-
ter the shot was fired.
Today, according to reliable au-
thority, the maid declared that after
she heard the tinkle Of breaking
glass and the report of a pistol, her
mistress hurried into the kitchen
through the back door and went up
stairs.
These witnesses in the order
named. appeared before the grand
jury: George A. Fairfield, survey

Jennie Duryea, mother of the mur-
dered woman; Miss Madalina Bailey.

Financial TWSteeShib
Is Probable In Haiti

If The Managers
Yield Big Strike
May Be Aveyted

CHICAGO, July 14.-Only the hope
that the managers will yield to the
demands of $1,000 engineers and fire.
men tonight stands between 80 roads
west of Chicago and the greatest
strike in the history of American
railways. With the statement that
the men had voted nearly unani-
mously to strike. union officials an
nounced arbitration under federal
laws will be refused on the ground
that the railroads have not lived up
to previous arbitration awards.
The railroads, through their gen
eral managers committee, contended
that to grant employees demands
would mean an increase of $4,000,
600 annually in wages. The en-
gineers and firemen asserted that
their requests We're fair and eqult-
able 1t is expected that further
conferences will be held. Should ne
gotiations fail and the employees
stand by their announced refusal Of
arbitration, the resulting strike would
it is declared. almost completely
paralyze traffic in the central west
ard west
Announcement that federal arbitra
ton would be declined came after the
meeting attended by the conference
committee. general managers of the
railroads and employees. The general
managers were notified OF the vote by
w. S. Stone. head of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and w. S.
Carter, president of the brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen and Engine
men. Various phases of the difficult
ties between the men and railroads
were discussed before the conference
adjourned
A joint committee of the two organi
cations of employees discussed the situ
alton this afternoon and it was ex
pected there would be further confer
ences with the general managers COM
mittee tomorrow.
Refusal to accept federal arbitration
is based by the brotherhoOd's cOnten
tion that the railroads can not be bound
by the results of such arbitration. On
this point an official statement given
out by Garter reads:
"On the supposition that the federal
board of arbitration and conciliation
will propose arbitration as directed by
the present federal law, the engine men
will necessarily reject any proposition
to arbitrate because in all recent ar
bitrations the railroads have repudi-
ated the arbitration awards and have
not been bound thereby"

Illegal evidence to clear Body. By
a singular accident, the court re-

error it had committed at the second
trial and this resulted in the third
reversal of the conviction. The Yer

Pope was again convicted and sen
