Barking of Dog Leads to Discovery
of Infant.

Perry, Ia, May IA little boy
baby, which at the most was not ov-
er four or five hours old, was found
yesterday morning wrapped in a
bundle under a grape vine in the
yard of James York, a farmer living
a half mile south of Berkeley. The
youngster is alive and healthy in
spite of the desertion of it's unknown
parents and the time spent on the
ground.
The presence of the baby was dis
covered when a dog belonging to the
York family commenced barking at
an object in the grass. One of the
little girls made an Investigation

home, where it was cared for and
soon restored to a normal condition.

ing made.

to indicate who it's parents were, the
little body being wrapped in couple

MEN OBJECT TO THE RULING

Chicago, May IAN arbitration
award advancing to some extent the
rates of pay of $4,000 locomotive
engineers, firemen and hostlers en-
ployed on the 100000 miles of line
of ninety-eight western railroads in
the great area of the United States
and Canada bounded on the east by
the Illinois Central and the Great
Lakes, was signed here yesterday.
A dissenting opinion was filed on
behalf of the Brotherhoods of En-
ginemen, in which the arbitration
was branded as failure and the
Newlands law under which it was
arranged an inadequate device for
the settlement of industrial disputes.
The award, effective May 10 and
binding for one year only, was
frankly declared as merely postpon-
ing for twelve months the actual
settlement of the differences involv-
ed. The railroad members of the
board issued formal statement crit
icising feature of the regulations
governing the arbitration, and re-
marking that certain concessions,
regarded as intrinsically unjust,
were made for the sake of preserv-
ing peace with the employees.
Judge Jeter c. Pritchard of Rich
mond, Va, chairman of the board,
explained his position, and stated
that while in his opinion the men
In certain branches of the service
were entitled to greater advances
than were granted, he had to make
concessions in order that an award
might be made, and he found much
of hopeful nature in the award.
Charles Nagel of St. Louis, former
secretary of commerce and labor,
who with Judge Pritchard represent
ed the board of mediation and con-
Citation on the arbitration board,
was the only member who issued no
statement. He is known to have
been deeply offended by the recent
attack made on him as an arbitrator
by officers of the brotherhoods, who
pointed out that he was trustee of
the estate of the late Adolphus
Busch, and that railroad securities
form a part of the assets of the es-
tate.
The brotherhoods were represent
ed on the board by F. A. Burgess of
Louisville, KY, assistant grand
chief engineer of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, and Timothy
Shea of Peoria, ILL.,, vice president of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men; w. L. Park, Chicago, vice

Untrodden Ways,

She dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove,
A maid whom there were none to
praise
And very few to love-
A violet by messy stone,
Half hidden from the eye
Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining In the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could
know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me!
