PAY OF ENGINEERS
Receive More Than Some Governors
of States.

Chicago, Jan. 19.-Governors Of
seven States could make more money
in a locomotive cab on some Western
railway runs than they now receive
as chief executives according to the
statement of James NJ Sheean, at
torney for Western railroads, whose
engineers, fremen and hoStlers are
demanding higher wages and better
hours, in outlining the rail side Of the
case before the board Of arbitration
Presentation Of evidence for the men
was begun November 80.
Sheean declared the annual sa!ar-
les of the Governors were smaller
than wages received by some of the
locomotive engineers of Western
railroads, who ask increases which,
he said: would amount to $40,000,000
a year
"Of the 5000 men, whose wages
for the entire year to June 90, 1913,
will be shown" .Sheean continued.
"there is maximum Of S3,725,20
for passenger engineers, S3,342.30
for freight engineers. $l,75220 for
passenger firemen and s1,752.20 for

WOULD MAKE WAR FRlGHTFuL
Germans Advocate Drastic Measures
Against England.

Berlin, Jan. 19.-Sentiment through
out Germany for an effective block
ade of the English coast by mines,
submarines and other devices, IL
cluding raids on British merchant
men, carrying foodstuffs, is lncreas-
ing.
The suggestions made by Grand
Admiral Won Tifpitz in his recent IL
terview that submarine warfare
against England's merchant fleet
would prove effective has been taken
up in every quarter. This is especi-
allv true so far as officiaidom IS
concerned.
It is agreed that as England e
placing every possible emphasis on
her plan to starve Germany out
within her rights if she takes ag-
gressive action along similar lines.
The use of the great aerial Fleet,
hitherto practically useless, is also
suggested.
In this connection Count ReventioW
discussing the situation III the Deut-
sche Zeitung, says: "We have the
means in our possession which prom
ise results. 1t would be sin
apainst the German nation and its
people if these are not soon applied
and carried out to the fullest energy"
The Cologne Gazette, which :, IS
usually inspired and whose uttehan-
ces have great weight, takes similar
view. In its leading editorial it
urges relentless warfare against ev-
erything English be carried out with
submarines and aircraft as the
weapons.
"The British sea power" the cdi-
torial saws. aims at turning Germ
any into concentration camp. This
Germany cannot permit. She has
the weapons at her disposal and must
use them.
"This war must be as frightful rs
possible.
I'VE must think, before all. Of
saving our wives and children from
famine.
whether we wish to or not we
must strike hard at Eneland's life
blood namely, her commercial fleet.
It would be weakness for us to ab-
stain from war on commercial Eng
land so long as England wages war
on our trade.
Germany must blockade the Brit
ish coast with her mines and. her
submarines and must utilize her air.
craft in every way possible.
Germany will give notice: to all
concerned when she will spread he!
mine fields around England Their
the neutral shipping for which Ger.
many has always shown remarkable
tenderness will have to take its
chance"

ENGLAND FIRM
IN HER PURPOSE
Will Not Relinquish Alleged
Right to Seize Steamer
Dacia
INSULT TO U. S. FLAG.
Story of Captain of Steamer Green
brier-Claims His Ship Was Dam
aged by British Navigators.

Washington, Jan. l9- The British
government today notified the
State Department that it will not re-
linquish it's right to seize the cotton
ship Dacia, if that vessel attempts to
leave Port Arthur, Tex, with car
go of cotton destined to Germany.
Berlin, Jan. 1s-Charges of in
suits to the American flag and of i'm
proper interference with his vessel
have been transmitted to Washing
ton by Captain Farley, of the Ameri-
can steamer Greenbrier, now in Bre-
men harbor. The Greenbrier sailed
from New Orleans for Bremen with
y cargo of cotton on December 10,
after the State Department had as
sured her owners that she would not
he interferred with.
The story of the hold-up on the
high seas as recorded in the log book
of the Greenbrier, has been sent to
Secretary of State Bryan by Cap
tain Farley Under instructions from
the owners of the steamer. The re-
cord declares that on December ~,
while proceeding toward the Ger
man coast, the vessel, which was n.y.
;np the American flag, was halted
by a solid shot across her bows mr.
.o., From British cruiser.
A cutters crew in charge Of an Of
ficer, boarded the steamer and the
officer demanded the ships papers.
AS soon as they were shown the Brit
;sh officer signaled for more men.
4 prize crew was sent aboard ana
then he ordered the American flag
hauled down and the British ensign
raised above the steamer.
Captain Farley says that ne re-
fused to comply, and alleges ne was
ordered from his bridge while 1he
nrize crew took over the steamer.
They hoisted the British flag ano
then headed the liner toward the
British coast.
Captain Farley alleges that through
incompetent navigation by the
British Officer and incapable handling
by the prize crew his vessel was DAM
aged. Three booms were swept away
when she was needlessly brought
about in heavy sea, he alleges, and
the vessel was finally brought into
Kirkwall. Her captain. Farley, de-
clares he was ordered to resume
command of his vessel and to take
her to Leith for examination, carry
ine the prize crew, whose responsible
ity ended at Kirkwall, as passen-
gers.
Captain Farley declares he refused
positively to have anything more to
do with his ship as long as the: Britt
ish flag flew over it. Finally, after
three days, he claims he was allowed
to replace his own colors. and then
he took the vessel to Leith, finally be-
ing permitted to complete his jour
ney to German waters.

RESOLUTION FOR
BOOK INQUIRY
Delegate Gum Agrees to
Change it Providing
For Report.
MANY AGENTS IN CITY
Movement to Lower Prices Of Text
Books Grows in Favor Throughout
Commonwealth.
Commonwealth.

Richmond, Jan. l9-SchooI book
prices in Virginia should be i'm
mediately investigated by the Legis-
lature, if an investigation is to be
made at all, according to the opinion
of Superintendent. Stearnes, Of the
State Department Of Public InStruc-
ton, reiterated yesterday at a con-
ference held between Mr.. Stearnes,
Senator Rison, of Pittsylvania, and
Delegate Gum, of Henrico.
At the conclusion of the conference
Delegate Gum announced that he
had accepted proposed amendment
to his resolution directing the inves-
tigating committee to report to this
session Of the Legislature.
This means, if the amended reso-
luton is approved that the investi-
cation will be made Immediately, and
that the adoption will not be made
next Thursday by the State Board.
The Gum resolution calling for the
investigation is now in the Senate,
having been passed by the House.
Opposition to the Investigation is
understood to be based on the desire
Of some to have the adoptions made
by the State Board Of Education as
at present constituted. This opposi-
ton is to that clause Of the Gum res
olution asking the State Boardat de
fer its adoption until the investiga-
tion is concluded.
1t matters not when the investiga-
tion takes place-if it is ordered be-
fore the adoptions are made-the
membership Of the State Board of
Education may have changed before
the report is submitted.
The change on the board takes
place on March 1st. On that day DR..
J. L. Jarman, of the Farmville Nor
NAL School leaves the board and is
succeeded by President Joseph D. Eg-
gleston, of the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute.
A long delay in the investigation
would mean a long delay in the adop-
ton, and this delay might be costly,
it is said, since number Of low bids
now before the State Board Of Edu-
cation may not hold good next year.
Those favoring the immediate in
uuiry make it plain that they are not
trying to force delay of the adop-
tons until after March 1st.
Superintendent Stearnes has said
that he is probably in position to give
an Investigating committee in two
days all data on the question OF
prices it may desire. The, committee
might then report before February
1st-a preliminary report at least
might be submitted to the Leglsla-
tr,re-and the State Board OF Edu-
cation could then, it is pointed out
meet and make its adoptions.
The amended resolution was yes
terday offered in the Senate and re-
fe,1ed to the Committee on Public
Instructions and Education. of which
Senator Rison is chairman.
No sooner had the proposition to
have an inquiry into the book matter
been printed than Richmond became
the mecca for book agents from all
parts of the country. They came in
shoals, in droves, squads.
The agents are to he seen more in
the hotel lobbies than around the
Capitol. The agents have lawyers
representing them. and SO far as
known not one of the agents or law
vers is raising Il voice to facilitate
the Investigation. Why are they
here?
