MORE RAIL HEADS
ARE INVITED IN
FOR CONFERENCE
President Asks Fourteen Addi.
tional Railroad Heads to
Come and Talk Over
Strike Situation.
MEETING FOR MONDAY
Executives of Roads Fail to
Give Answer to PROPOSE
tion Submitted.
MATTER NOT CLOSED

tivcs Of the four brotherhoods OF rail-
way employees held meeting this
afternoon and after hearing President
Wilson's statement read, adjourned
until 10 o'clock Monday morning.
Judge Chambers OF the federal
board Of mediation, conferred with
some of the leaders, but declined to
make public his mission.
Reports were current among the
employees after the visit Of Judge
Chambers that counter-proposal was
expected from the railroad managers.
Mr. Chambers refused to confirm or
deny the report.
President Wilson sent the following
telegram to fourteen presidents OF
western railroads:
I Discussion OF the matter involved
| in the threatened railway strike is still
continuing. 1t is highly important
that should personally confer with
YOU or some one authorized to repre-
sent you at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Hope you can arrange mat
terc so as to be able to come to
Washington at once ..
Give No Final Answer.
After an hours conference with
President Wilson today the thirty
three railroad presidents left the
White House without giving any in
dication that they had abandoned
their stand for arbitration but with
assurance that the negotiations were
not ended.
The railroad executives gave no
final answer to the presidents propo-
sails, but will deliberate on them to-
day and see President Wilson again
probably Monday.
While President Wilson was con-
ferring with the executives he made
public a statement outlining his plan.
In his address to the officials
President Wilson said; .
"lf strike comes the public will
know where the responsibility rests.
II will not be on me"
Question Is Not Closed.
All the railroad presidents said .he
question was not closed and that the
negotiations would be continued.
President Holden OF the Burlington.
spokesman for the officials, said no
time had been set for them to see
President Wilson again, but that it
was necessary to confer with the COM
mittee of managers, which has the au-
thority to accept or reject plans.
Several of the executives indicated
disappointment over President Will
sons statement, but showed particu-
lar interest in his mention OF the pos
sbiity OF the Interstate Commerce
commission considering an increase
in freight rates.
In his talk to the executives today,
President Wilson told them they were
facing a condition. not principle He
asked why they should demand arbi-
tration when there was no law for
compulsory arbitration and he knew
sorry arbitration law through congress.
The employees. he recalled, had con-
sistently refused arbitration and he
believed it was impossible to gain il
in the present controversy.
Cannot Sit as Judge.
II have been asked to sit as a
Judge" said the president in sub
stance. Il cannot do that, | simply
can suggest plan, way in which
believe this question can be settled
fairly to all sides"
President Wilson urged again that

VERDICT OF Jury.

That Christina Cunningham came
to her death on the 18th day of Au-
gust, 1916, in the city Of Omaha,
county Of douglas. state of Nebraska,
by being struck and run over by all
automobile, driven by Charles +.
Stockdale at Twenty-sixth and Far
nam streets, whilesaid Christina Gun
ningham was attempting to board d
street car; said automobile being oper-
ated by said Charles E. Stockdale in
careless and negligent manner, and
in violation of the statutes of the state
of Nebraska and ordinances of the
city of Omaha. We therefore recon-
mend that Charles E. Stockdale be
! held for the death Of Christina Gun
.lingham.
We believe that the lax enforcement
of the ordinances and statutes cover
ing the operation of motor :ch;c!es 5
and the lack of adequate punishment
for the violators when arrested, has
been responsible for the growing dis
regard of all traffic rules, ordinances
and statutes by drivers of these We
hicles. We, therefore, further recon-
mend that drivers Of automobiles and
motorcycles who violate the ordi-
nances of the city of Omaha or the
statutes of the state of Nebraska, be
arrested, vigorously prosecuted and
adequately punished, to the end that
the rights of pedestrians on the
streets of Omaha may be safeguarded,
and that the drivers OF automobiles
and motorcycles shall understand that
the ordinances and statutes are to be
obeyed rather than disregarded

Shortly afteTward / was asked to
go to Cedar Rapids at JUnkermann'ss
expense. For an entire week was in
daily conference with John Grimm,
his attorney. At the end Of the week
they finally settled with the girls for
$1,000 cash and two notes Of $4,000
each"
It is this sum that Junkermann
says is the basis of his blackmal
charge. His attorneys, c. E. Wheeler
and John Jay, have been in the city
conferring with CIabaugh for several
days.
Wheeler andEJay have visited the
managing editor of every newspaper
in Chicago. The Tribune, Herald,
Examiner, American, Daily News,
Journal and Post bowed to their re-
quest and agreed to hide Junker-
maRn's identity from their readers.
Following are three letters Jirka

mann. The first is addressed 'Messrs.
Byrne and Reed-gentlemen," to
throw curious persons off the scent,
Jirka says:
Messrs. Byrne and Reed Gentle
men-I am duly in receipt of your
much scented communication and
can only plead rush of business for
not giving them prompter attention,
and that it was not lack of interest
in not writing you and advising you
that should be only too glad to look
over your entire Adam and Eve line.

girl who is to be married Oct. 20 to
the scion of a wealthy and prominent
family.
Attorney Harold W. Jirka, counsel
for the two girls. says Junkermann's
pose as the victim of "gang of
blackmailers" is not at all becoming.
He paints Junkermann as a wealthy
Toue who ruined two young country
girls, established them in a fiat and
then paid them to cover his sins.
Jirka told the story to Day Book
reporter this morning. Peggy Reed
sat at his side and confirmed his YER
sion of the affair. Jirka said:
"Junkermann, one of the financial
and political rulers of Cedar Rapids,
met these two girls when they were
merely school girls. Peggy is the
daughter of a Cedar Rapids farmer.
Doris is an orphan and lived with her
uncle, Mr.. Bergman, small drug
gist Of SpringVille, Ia, who did bus
mess with the Churchill Drug Co.
after Junkermann met the girls
he lavished expensive gifts on them
and started Doris to business college
on the promise that when her course
was completed he would make her
his private secretary.
zone afternoon he asked the girls
to call on him at his Office while he
was alone. He gave them candy.
The candy, they claim, made them
dizzy. They allowed Junkermann
liberties. After this he held them in
his power.
Last spring he suggested they go,
to Chicago, where he would give
them plenty of money for their main
tenance. The girls say he feared his
wife would discover the affair.
when he, installed them in the
fiat on Clarendon avenue he made
frequent trips to Chicago. Finally
Peggy became disgusted with her life
asked him for a sett1ement

BRITISH LOSE BIGGEST SHIP
eRlTTANlc IN HOSPITAL SER
VICE, GOES DOWN.
Official Statement Announces Fifty
Lives Lost-vessei Destroyed
by Mine or Torpedo.

London, Nov. %. 1870 The Daily News
Athens correspondent sends the fol-
lowing concerning the sinking the the
47,500-ton hospital ship and White Star
liner Britannia in the Aegean sea with
the loss of IS lives.
1.-THE Britannia, the biggest passen,
ger-carrying ship in service In the
world was torpedoed at o'clock in
the morning and sank near shore IS
minutes later. She was going to Sa'
loniki but had no wounded on board.
"Her complement included 121 nur.
SEES and 800 officers and men of the
army. medical corps. twenty-five OF
the injured from the steamer are now
in the Russian hospital while others
are aboard Allied warships."
Ship Recently Completed.
It was reported in special dispatch
from London on December 6 last that
the 1880 ton White Star liner Britain.
mic, then recently completed, would be
used as a hospital ship by the British
government, making her the largest
hospital ship in commission, with an
equipment of 5000 beds. Last June,
however, it was reported in news
dispatch from Liverpool that the Bri-
tannic had been returned to the White
Star line for restoration into q pas
senger steamer.
Biggest British Vessel.
The Britannia was a steel triple
screw steamship and the biggest Brit
fsh ship afloat. The Tea channel in
the Aegean sea, where the admiralty
says the great ship was lost. is a bit
of water between the mainland of
Greece and the island of Zea. From
this it is safe to assume that the Bril-
tannic was bringing back wounded
from Saloniki, the channel being one
of the direct routes to the Allies
depot in this section.
