JURY DECLARES HORNER WAS
 NOT CRIMINALLY RESPON- SlBLE FOR DEATH OF CHILD.
TELLS STORY IN TEARS
Testimony Was Unanimous on Point That Horner Was Driving Car at Moderate Speed-Child Had Started Across Street, But Hesitated.

"lf it had been my own babies 1 could not have done any more 10 prevent the accident" testified Clar- ence J. Iiorner in tears yesterday on the witness stand before the coro- ner's jury that was Investigating the death of little Dee Barnes. who had been struck and killed Friday even- ing by an auto in which Homer and his family were riding.
 lIorner made a frank witness on the stand. He had suffered a physi- cal breakdown immediately after the tragedy. Himself a father, the dis tressing phase of the killing of the little girl had shocked him more than men are usually shocked by such tragedies in life. When he went on the stand yesterday it was with effort that he related the story.
 He told how because of some even ing engagements, he had telephoned his wife to have the children ready and they would take their automobile ride before supper, Then he went after them. and they went out Park avenue, and were about to go home, when he looked at his watch and it was just about o'clock. They had time for trip down Malvern avenue and decided to go there.
 He testified that they had gone out Malvern at a moderate rate, and had turned before reaching the end, and were Coming back. He saw the little girl, and she seemed to be crossing the street diagonally ahead of them and seemed to have plenty of time to get across.
 q thought she was going on," Hor- ner testified. Then she seemed to stop, and to nnge l applied the brakes and did everything l could to keep the car from striking her." Then Homer broke down, as he re- called the terror of that moment
 Again in his testimony he broke down when he testified frankly to the most horrible feature Of the accident. The front part of the car had passed over the child, and it seemed to him that when he stopped the car the hind wheels. were upon the body of tho child. rThe car seemed to have rolled upon her" he testified. "Then I released the brakes and went on over"

MORE DEMANDS
 ON RAILROADS
A STRIKE INVOLVING NINETY EIGHT ROADS WEST OF MS
 SlSSIPPl IS PROBABLE.
Railroad Managers Have Declined the Demands of the Employees and Vote Has Been Ordered on Strike.

Chicago, June LA referendum vote as to whether the engineers and tiremen on ninety-eight railroads west of Chicago will be taken soon. This was the announcement tonight of Warren s. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Engineers, and W. s. Carter, president of the Broth erhood of Locomotive Fremen and Enginemen, tonight after nesotiations between the firemen and engineers and the general managers commit tee, representing the railroads. had been brokeE off
 The railroads late today gave a final refusal 10 the demands o1 the trainmen for wage increases and new working conditions. Mir. Stone said it probably will require about thirty days to complete the vote. In the meantime no further proposals will be submitted
 Negotiations have been going on here for nearly three months. The railroads involved include practically all the lines !n the United States west of Chicago, including the Illinois Central and all lines in Canada west of Fort William except the Grand Trunk Pacific. lhey nave total uf 140000 miles and annually pay $67,- 75000O in tages to the engineers and firemen
 The general managers committee in a statement says that the demands of tho men would increase the pay rolls of the departments approXi- mately 50 per cent.
 The statement outlines the de, mands of the men as follows:
 The increase in rates of pay in all classes of service, the reduction of the number of hours after which overtime would be paid from ten to eight in freight service and to five in passenger service; increase in the basis of figuring overtime to time and a half in freight service and double time in passenger; granting of thirty minutes preparatory time for each trip; allowances for termi- nal delays; increase in differentals aid for running Mallet engines; in crease in differentials between local and through freight and employment of two firemen on large coal-burning engines regardless of character of, or length of run"
 The managers hold there has been no change in conditions which would justify the increases asked. They say that the reduction of the working day to eight hours would mean the shortening of all railway divisions and the relocation of yards and shops at heavy cost and that the only effect of changing the basis of days wage would be enormously to increase the overtime paid.

 "If the Kansas City Blues had kept their eyes on the ball with the accuracy that they contend Ealing should have exhibited. they would have attained a higher place in the pennant race.'

 Some of the rumors and reports that had been circulated about the streets relative to the trouble in the police department was developed for an audience that crowded every nook and cranny of the council cham ber when, after invitation, Bob Bailey entered into a recital of his story Alderman Sigman went to puttlna questions to this deposed member of the detective department.
 Bailey had been discharged from tho force about the middle of the month of May, and there had been many whlsperings as to why. Alder man Peden insisted that Bailey be heard by the council, and Bailey came to the front of the rail.

 Mayor McClendon here interrupted and said it was not true that he had said he could not use Bailey longer.
 Chief Ellison was called to sub. stantiate Bailey. and said that he had hired Bailey. and that the mayor had called him over to his house and told him to fire Bailey, and that he had not done it promptly, and the mayor had later urged it. Then fired him." said Chief Ellison.
 Alderman Sigman here took up a questioning of Bailey

After January parcel post packages
weighing so pounds can be carried with
in the first two zones. The change is
made on the theory that it will help the
farmers and merchants to make much
wider use of the new service, says the
Bratteboro Reformer.
1t has certainly seemed strange that
more farmers have not made an effort
to use the parcel post Next summer,
when so pounds can be carried, it would
seem certain that market gardeners
could get higher prices, and sell to the
consumer for less than retail prices.
All that it needs, is a little personal
soliciting or newspaper adertising, to
get the business. What is the matter
with the farmers boy that he does not
build up a trade for the necessares of
life for which in-town people are now
paying high prices? There are many
people who would order produce direct
from the farmers by post card or tele-
phone, could they but know where to
send to.
