"Good Business"

Washington, D. c., May s,-"The Med.
ical Examination of Employees" was
discussed by several speakers at last
nights session of the advisory council
of the national association for the study
and prevention of tuberculosis. The
heads of two big Chicago houses, en-
ploying thousands of men, testified that
the regular medical examination of all
employees was not only humane, but
good business"
Dr. Theodore B. Sachs, chairman OF
the committee on factories of the Chica :
90 tuberculosis institute, reported upon
the first three years work of the com
mittee. He said systems of medical in
spection We're in various stages of de-
velopment, in fifteen large industrial
concerns in Chicago.
"At present, the cost of the examina
tion is borne by the firms" he said, 'but
il is evident that with the spread OF the
principles, medical examination must be-
come eventually a part of industrial in
surance."
DR.. Sachs said he hoped to see the
plan extended to every large city of the
United States. Already preliminary
steps have beer taken he said, in New
ark, n. j.. Buffalo, n Y, Grand Rapids,

B. & M. OFFICIALS
YIELD TO EMPLOYEES
Agree That Working Hours Remain as
at Present After Brotherhood
Protests Change.

Boston, May S.--The controversy that
has extended over several weeks between
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers and Firemen and the Boston g.
Maine railroad came to a close yester-
day when Boston & Maine officials. act
ing as a grievance committee, gave in
almost Internationally to the demands
of the workers to live up to their
agreement that the engineers and fire.
men shall not work more than 10 hours
a day.
Conferences between the Boston &
Maine committee and the committee
from the brotherhoods were continued
throughout the day to arrange minor
details, however.
Several weeks ago the railroads re-
quested the engineers and firemen to
change their working schedules so that
they could work a few hours more
per week than the schedule calls for.
This the engineers and firemen refused
to do. saying that as it is, they are
overworked.
1t is claimed by the road that the Civ
ing in to the workers does not mean
any great outlay of money.
Officials of the road yesterday said
that they had merely requested the
brotherhoods to change their working
schedules and that they had not de-
manded the change They contend that
the matter is not important enough to
warrant a strike, even though they had
refuesd to give in to the brotherhoods.

With Her From New

New York May S.--"You may have
your choice-go to Europe tomorrow
or go to Jail" Rudolph Luderman was
told by three justices in the Brooklyn
court of special sessions Wednesday.

with revolver in his hand in his wife's
apartments at 80 Orange street, Monday
night. Shot in the hand and breast, she
refused to complain against him, but he
was tried for having the weapon.
He chose, naturally, after hearing the
unusual sentence, to go to Europe.
MY husband is the finest, dearest
man that lives" Mrs. Luderman said
tearfully when she was called to the
stand. "Please let him go free, Your
Honors. He has been suffering from
nervousness, and the revolver went off in
a scuffie. | am sure he would not try
to harm me. ] have tickets for a ship
sailing to Europe at | o'clock tomorrow,
and if you will free Rudolph ] will take
him with me-"
Her pleading won the justices, and
they ordered that he might go free if
he would accompany his wife, who is a
handsome woman of middle age.
In order to make sure that he sailed
he was kept in Raymond street Jail over
night and yesterday an officer escorted
him to the boat.

BRIDE RADIANT
WITH HAPPINESS
Eleanor Wilson Married to Secretary of
Treasury McAdoo in Simple, Solemn
Ceremony.

Washington, D. c., May s.-Miss
Eleanor Randolph Wilson, youngest
daughter of the President and Mrs. Will
son, became the bride last night OF
William Gibbs McAdoo. secretary OF the
treasury, in the historic blue room of
the White House. Less than hundred
persons and only few officials-heard
the low-t toned voice of the Rev. Sylves-
ter W. Beach, pastor of the First Pres
byterian church of Princeton, \. j.,
where the Wilson family has worshipped
for years, as he united in marriage a
member of the cabinet and the daughter
of the daughter of the United States
1t was a simple ceremony, brief, but
solemn-the radiant faces of the bride
and groom rejecting the happiness OF
the hour. For President and Mrs. Will
son it was touching moment as they
gave away a daughter for the second
time within year. Around them stood
their relatives and friendsa small
group--for it was a family affair, much
the same kind of home wedding one
would see in any American household,
though the historic interior of the White
House, with its masses of lilies and
ferns, the uniformed aides, and the pres
ence OF members OF the cabinet and the
vice president preserved for the function
an official aspect.

Counsel for Western State Commissions
Accuses Him of Favoring the
Railroad Side.

Washington, May S.-The interstate
commerce commission had before it yes
terday supplemental brief by Clifford
Thorne, representing the Western rail
road commissions in the advance rate
case in which he bitterly arraigns Louis
Brandeis, special counsel for the com
mission who, in his closing argument in
the case last Friday, stated that ION
the whole, the net income, the net oper-
ating revenues of the carriers in official
classification territory are smaller than
is consistent with their assured pros
perity and the welfare of the country"
Mr. Thorne asserts that Mr. Brandeis
commenced his argument before the COM
mission "by conceding the position of
the carriers" On behalf of those whom
he represents Mr.. Thorne says that he
"repudiates in unqualified terms" the
concession made by Mr.. Brandeis in his
closing argument.
Mr.. Thorne says the commission it,
self has a responsibility to discharge
in determining the adequacy of railroad
revenues. In his view Mr.. Brandeis Eek
ceeded all bounds of propriety in the
premises and practically usurped the
functions of the commission

Littleton with a consignment of horses
which he sold to Gilman brothers of st.
