MEDIATION TO BEGIN.
Federal Board Meets in Chicago to
Take Up Threatened Strike.

Chicago. July 2O.-Hopes for a sat-
tsfactory adjustment of the wage dis
pute between the enginemen of the
western railroads and their employers
took definite shape today with the
assembly of the federal board of
mediation whose good offices have
been accepted by both sides.
William L. Chambers, chairman of
the mediation board; Martin A.
Knapp. federal judge, and G. w. w.
Hanger. assistant commissioner of la
Dor, have arrived here to represent the
government in the conferences in
which the engineers will be repre-
sented by their grand chief, Warren

tee of both roads involved is headed
by A. w. Trenholm of the Chicago.
Minneapolis & Omaha railway.
The opening conference was sched-
uled for today and no attempt has
been made to forecast how long the
hearings may last.
The mems demands are technical
in form and lengthy and the managers
have prepared to discuss at length
every point proposed. The mems
leaders have left the way open for a
refusal to arbitrate but the railroad
operators declare they have strone
hope that a strike may be averted,

HE SEEKS RELIEF
Bankrupt, Cannot Pay Breach
of Promise Judgment.
c. L. Maltby Of Council Grove
Enters FedeFal Court

Something new in bankruptcy pro-
ceedings has appeared in the fed
eral court here. To-day Clarence l.
.Maltby Of Council Gyeve. who claims
to possesa n0tiS1nk his sworld save
his wearing aDpansa, = askeds the court
for relief from the pressure Of q claim
for $4,000 ON judgment for that
amount obtained on q breach of prom
ise suit in 1910 by Minnie Endic0tt,
now Minnie Louber.
Maltby has, he says, a wife and
mother -in-law dependent upon his
support and that their requirements
consume his entire earnings as To-
comotive. engineer. The fact that Miss
Endicott has become Mrs. LOuber since
her judgment was obtained would in
dicate that her mental pain and an
guish have sought and found other re-
lief than that which can be admin
istered by court of law. But the
judgment still stands against the man
who broke his vows and, having no
other prospect of relief from it, he has
voluntarily declared himself bank
rupt.

Kansas Inspection Of Grain

course win Tell Tale.

Regardless OF the fact that the KAN
sas wheat il sixty million bushels
greater than at any time in the his
tory OF the state. the grain inspection
department is inspecting less grain
than q year ago when the crop was
comparatively short. The loss in in
spection fees to the state Is due large
ly to the fact that most Of the grain
Is now being shipped for export and
consigned for destination inspection
only.
With the heavy demands for export
wheat to fill July delivery orders, the
bulk Of the Kansas grain that has
gone on the market has been shipped
to gulf ports. By lodging the state
inspection. the grain inspectors Office
has lost hundreds of dollars in fees
that would have ordinarily been re-
ceived. Last year at this season but
little Kansas grain was being shipped
for export purposes. The result was
that the state department received
larger inspection fees than this season
with the bumper wheat crop.
Test Is Lower.
Another feature about the Kansas
crop is the fact that the early ship
ments are not grading as high as the
1913 tests. One day a year ago Is
cars of wheat were handled at one
Topeka elevator. All of the grain was
Is cars were tested. Only z of the Is
cars tested No. 2. 1t is claimed by the
elevator men and wheat producers,
however, that the later shipments of
gratn will show better test, and that
the Kansas crop will average up to
the standard quality.
State Inspector George B. Ross has

cause losses for the shippers.

EAGLE WING IS GONE
The Imperntor Is Buffeted by a
Severe Storm.

New York, March 19.-The steam
ship Imperator arrived from Hamburg
today after the toughest voyage of her
career. The port wing of her giant
eagle figurehead was gone, and four
lifeboats were missing from the davits,
having been carried away by an enor-
nous wave which battered the steam
ship on the night OF March IS. Driven
by a gale of hurricane force, the seas
struck the Imperator when she was
about four hundred miles from the
English channel, and caused great
damage on the forecastle deck. The
hurricane lasted "a hours.
Among the passengers were Mrs.
John Hays Hammond and Mrs. John
Aetor, who has come to prepare for
the wedding of her son, Vincent.
