CAR PORTERS ARE UNDERPA|D
LINCOLN SAYS SYSTEM sHouI
BE CHANGED.
Son of Martyred President Discusses
Tips With Commission on Indus
trial Relations.

Washington, May 6.-Robert T. Lin
coin, chairman of the board of direc
tors of the Pullman company, frankly
told the United States commission or
industrial relations here that he be
lieved the system of paying sleeping
car porters should be changed and
that wages of Pullman car conductors
should be increased. Both of these
subjects, he said, would be taken UP
by the company's directors in the near
future.
Annoyed by Wage System.
The son of President Lincoln freely
discussed the subject of tips upon
which negro porters are compelled to
rely for living. He insisted, however
that employment afforded the negro
by the Pullman company had been one
OF the most uplifting opportunities the
race has had.
While declaring his belief that tip
ping of Pullman porters by the public
would continue, even if the meager sal
ary Of $3.50 a month should be in
creased, Mr.. Linscoln admitted that
the wage system for porters was an
antiquated one, and had given him
considerable annoyance.
Fails to Recognize Unions.
The commission also began inquiry
into the conditions of railroad teleg-
raphers and shopmen employed by the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, H. B.
Perham, president of the Order of
Railroad Telegraphers, submitted COM
plants against the railroad companies
on behalf of the workmen, charging
that the Pennsylvania company declin-
es to recognize their union, assuming
an attitude of resistance and doing
everything in its power to break up
existing unions and prevent organiza-
ton Of others. Officials of the Penn
will be heard on these com.
plants.

Chief Counsel for Defense Declares He

or Disagreement.

| Trinidad. Colo, May 5.-John r
Lawson, noted labor leader, has beer
condemned to spend the remainder ot
MS life at hard labor in the Colorado
penltentlary. He was found guilty OF
nrst degree murder in connection with
the death of John Nimmo, a deputy
sheriff killed in strike battle Oct
25, 1913.
Under the Colorado statute making
1t the duty of the Judge to fix the
penalty at death or life Imprisonment
the Jury in the district court fixed the
mllder punishment.
Lawson sat immovable as the Jury
fled in the courtroom. There was
only sprfnkling of spectators. Judge
CRANKY Hillyer had announced lunch.
con recess until o'clock and it was
not quite that hour when the jury re-
ported.
Judge Hillyer glanced at the verdict
submitted by the jury and then handed
1t back to the clerk. The clerk read
aloud:
Murder In First Degree.
we, the jury, find the defendant
guilty OF murder in the first degree
and fix the penalty at life imprison.
ment."
Lawson did not move. A slight
smile played over his features. There
was silence for few moments, then
Horace N. Hawkins, chief counsel for
the defense, asked that the jury be
polled.
AS the clerk read the names, each
man assented to the verdict. Then
there was brief legal formalities and
the crowd filtered out the door.
Thirty days were given to file a mo-
tion for new trial and Lawson was
released temporarily in custody of his
counsel
Judge Hillyer later announced that
the labor leader would be released on
$4,000 bond pending action on his mo.
ton for new trial. The bond was ar.
ranged for at conference between
Judge Hillyer and Horace N. Hawkins,
chief counsel for the defense.
Fights for Workingmen.
Seated at his lawyers table after
the verdict, John r. Lawson talked
calmly of the outcome of his fight for
life and liberty.
They may get me, but they can't
defeat the cause of labor" Lawson
said. I'm not worrying about myself
its the fight l have been making
for the workingmen that / am inter.
ested in and that will go ahead Just as
before. Even for me, it's long way
to the penitentiary. My attorneys will |
not give up until everything possible
has been done to save me-"
Lawson and his counsel had confid.
emily expected an acQuittal or at most
a disagreement.

MUsCOv|TES TAKE
REVENGE ON TURKS
FOLLOWING DEFEAT BY TEuToNs
RUSSIANS DEFEAT oTToMANs
IN PERSIA.
GERMANS WIN SUCCESSES
Claim 10000 Russians Were Captured
in Galicia-AIIied Forces on Gal
lipoIi Peninsula Advancing
Into the Interior.

London, May 6.-The Russians hav,
had at least partial revenge for tn,
defeat inflicted upon them in western
Galicia by the Austrians and German,
by badly beating the Turks who hat
invaded Persia. The defeat took place
In a three-days' battle near the from
tier and Petrograd reoprts that the
Russians inflicted heavy losses on the
Ottomans. If the success of the Mus
covites has been followed up, military
| observers declare that Persia now
| should be free of her unlimited guests
This battle, however, was q small
affair when compared with what Ger
many and. Austria claim they have
done to the Russians in Galicia. Their
reports state that some 10000 Rus
slams were captured and that large
number of guns were taken.
Germans Win Successes.
There was no mention, however, of
any towns, such as Gorlice and Tar
now, which were close to the front, be.
ing captured, which leads the British
military critics to the conclusion that,
while the Germanic allies have won
important local successes, they have
not driven the Russians very far back.
Should they succeed in doing this,
however, 1t is asserted that a general
retreat of the Russians would be i'm
perative and that the whole Carpa-
THAN offensive, on which the Musco-
vites have spent so much time and so
many lives would be completely null
lifted.
The Russian side of the story is
anxiously awaited, for big success in
the East, it is believed here, would
mean an immediate commencement of
operations on a large scale in the
West, for which the Germans already
are making preparations.
Allies Advance in GallipoIi.
In Belgium thus far the fighting has
been confined to the Ypres region
where the Germans claim to have cap
tured some villages which the British
say they evacuated in the process of
readjusting their line.
The rumors concerning the opera
tions against the Dardapelles were
confirmed when the British war office
and admiralty issued reports stating
that after beating off Turkish attacks
the allied forces had taken the often
sive on the Gallipoli peninsula and
now were advancing into the interior.
The Turks, on their side, continue to
report the defeat of the landing parties
and damage done to allied warships,
which are keeping up lively bonn
bardment of the Turkish forts, both
in the Dardanelles straits and at
Smyrna.

New York, May 5.-A powerful

Borough hall, badly damaging that

the building at the time. Although
two OF them were thrown 25 feet
by the force of the explosion, one
was injured. The first floor was
wrecked and the structure was SO bad

foreigners were arrested near the
scene shortly after the explosion and
held for examination. The police said
that one of the men had a revolver.
