to settle the matter peaceab1y With the street railway officials.
 Conference Arranged.

AT nheSus
 A conference was arranged by tele- phone yesterday morning when Presi- dent J. T. Harmer of the company called up John H. Reardon of Worces- ter, a member of the national execu- tive board, who is handling the troll ieymen's side of the case, and in formed him that it would be agree able to the officials of the company to meet the representatives of the union at 3 o'clock.
 At this conference the requests form ulated by the union officials were discussed separately The first one relating to the installing of registers for recording transfers was discussed favorably by the officials of the com pany, but on the question of with holding any discharges for alleged irregularities until new registers are installed, President Harmer, for the company, gave a point blank refusal. Both sides argued the matter at length, but no agreement could be reached. The third request met with a spirited discussion, which eventually resulted in the company's offer to arbitrate the discharge of the three men in accordance with the agree ment between the company and the men accepted in October. 1912. The men, however, refused to accept ar bitration.
 Recommendation Not Adopted.
 The trolleymen based thelr refusal to arbitrate the discharge of the three conductors on the ground that the recommendation of the cnairmaps of the board of arbitration that handled the five cases of a pilar nature last summer that transd registers be in- stalled .1lad not bel Tn adopted. AIT at the ead of their Buns last. evening, but .special provisions. were made for running the all-night. cars up to 5 o'clock this morning. F The members of the union held a meeting at 1 o'clock this morning, at which time the executive committee madetits re- port of the conference to the men. The comEany will make no attempt to operate Aars today.

positive danger. with the democratic
party facing a serious split over the
opposition OF the Commoner to any ex-
traoriinary national defense now being
espoused by President Wilson.
Politicians close TO the president today
seemed confident that the presidential
program for the army and navy could be
put through congress despite the Bryan
position, but, nevertheless, the influential
men OF the party look upon Mr.. Bryan's
statement as forecasting trouble and they
don't like the .outloog a little bit.
II was learned today that Senator Ollie
James OF Kentucky. who is one Of Presi-
dent wilson's closest advisers. will do
all in his power to land the federal Judge
ship In Nebraska for W. II. Thompson of
Grand Island. and there are those that

PORTER CASE NEAR FINAL
Senator Fall Of New Mexico Takes
Witness Stand in Defense
Of Porter.
TESTIMONY ABOUT CHARACTER

LAS CRUCES. n. NJ. sept. Is.-Cspecial
Telegram. )-when the fiftieth witness for
the defense in the Porter-Conneil case
had been introduced this afternoon the
trial OF James L. Porter on the charge Of
killing Ralph Connell was almost com
pleted. Little new evidence has been de-
veloped during the last two days and the
majority of the time OF the court has
been takn up with the hearing of char
acter witnesses put on the stand by the
attorneys for the defense TO show that
Porter was a law abiding citizen and
that he had never had any trouble.
One of the witnesses this afternoon
was United States Senator A. b. Fall
of New Mexico, who lives at Three Riv-
ers, N. NJ. only short distance above
Tulaross- His testimony mainly referred
to the statements made by Jack Cravens
at his ranch. The senator was also used
as a witness for Porter.
A. copy OF the decision Of the state SUI
preme court in the water hearing case,
which was the original cause of the
trouble between Connell and Porter. was
introduced today. 1t had no special sig
nificance except to show that the higher
court had. reversed the lower court and
had thrown the case out OF court.
Today closed the second week of the
trial and It is not believed that the case
will continue more than two more days
as little remains TO be presented and the
arguments viii probably start Monday.
