CRkCRAFT DEATH
PROBE CONTINUES
More Evidence 10 BE Uncovered in
Murder of IOwan in Box Car in
SiIvis Railroad Yards.
ALL OF SUSPECTS BEING HELD
Another Session of Coroner's Jury, 1t
Is Believed, Will Reveal Identity
of Slayer.

Coroner r. c. J. Meyer yesterday
dismissed for several days the jury
which is making inquiry into the death
Of Nicholas Cracraft, who was fatally
shot in the Silyis yards on the even
ing of June 20.
The chain of evidence which has
been secured during the week of probe
into the murder consists OF a death
bed statement of the murdered man,
the testimony of Greeks and II Mex
leans who have unwittingly brought
out evidence which Will be OF beneht
to the state. and the statement of a
"squawk' whose name, for his own
safety, is being withheld.
In the meantime there is still more
evidence to he uncovered and ths
state expects this Will be sufficient to
establish guilt and enable the prose-
cutor 10 demand the death penalty
when the case comes to trial in circuit
court. The jury was in session yes
terday afternoon. but no testimony OF
importance was taken. The corOner
IS hopeful Of bringing the probe TO Z
close after one more session
Principal points which have been
brought out during the week Of investi-
cation, which are expected to be the
bulwark Of the states case, are as FOL
lows:
Cracraft gave a death-bed statement.
Identifying the men who attacked him
and the man who fired the fatal shot
The statement was read 10 the cor
oner's Jury and although its contents
are not being made public, 1t has been
learned from sources thought TO be
reliable that BOnifcio Perez, one of
the Nexicans in the gang, is named as
the one who fired the shot.

made 10 two nurses in the city hOspi-
tai which is being withheld by the
states attorney and coroner. but which
will be used when the case comes to
trial
Fact that the midnight revelry
which preceded the murder took place
In car No 6, has been established be-
yond possibility Of doubt. largely
through the evidence Of the 'squawk.
who sat behind a screen in the East
Moline police station and identified
three members of his race-he is a
Mexican a s having been implicated.
Liquor Is Purchased.
A man known as the little Mexican
king" and several others, purchased
liquor in an East Moline saloon about
10 o'clock the night of June 10 and
had prevailed upon Cracraft to par
take literally.
The bIood-covered clothing of era
craft, held as evidence, shows that the
bullet entered a lung in a manner
which corresponds with the story told
by Cracraft just before his passing in
the city hospital.
All Mexicans arrested are being
held in connection with the case and
none will be dismissed till after a YER
dict has been returned by the corOner's
jury. The men said to have been i'm
plicated in CTacrafts statement are
being held by the sheriff in the county
jail, while the three named by the
Mexican who has turned states evil
dence, and others held in connection
with the case, are in custody of East
Moline police.

LONG HOURS A RARITY.
Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.

Only Once In Five Years Does Average
Trainman Exceed Legal Limit.
That long hours in train service have
been reduced to a minimum is shown
by a report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission Only one en-
ploye in five On the average last year
was compelled to remain on duty more
than sixteen hours during any one day
In the whole year. Stated in another
way, the chance Of an engineman or
trainman remaining on duty beyond
this prescribed limit was reduced to
once in five years.
The total number Of cases Of excess
service from all causes reported to the
commission was only 81 ,247 during the
year ending June 80, 1915, as COM
pared with 137, ,439 In 1914 and 270,S27
In 1913, and with rare exceptions these
represented cases recognized as due to
unavoidable causes.
Statistics on this subject are collected
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion under the national hOurs-of-service
law. Every time a train Is so de-
layed by a blizzard, washout or 9th
er cause that any part of the train
crew is on duty longer than sixteen
hours the railroad company must re-
port the occurrence to the commission,
giving the names of the Individual en-
ployes concerned and a full statement
Of the cause for the excess service.
For several years the railroads and
the Interstate Commerce Commission
have been cooperating in efforts to
prevent the keeping Of employees on
duty for long periods. The reduction
Of nearly so per cent in such cases
which has been brought about in three
tears shows that the working Of men
or long stretches Of continuous service
ias practically disappeared except in
are cases of unavoidable delay.

RAILWAY MAIL PAY:

Congress Directs Interstate Commerce
Commission to Investigate Subject.
Washington.-The annual Post Of
fee appropriation bill recently passed
by Congress contains clause-directing
the Interstate Commerce Commission
to take up for investigation, report and
the fixing of rates the system of pay
ment to the railroads for carrying mail
The Commission is authorized to test
the relative merits Of payment by
weight and by space.
The railroads have long contended
that they were underpaid for this serv-
ice and that they were losing millions
of dollars a year under the system Of
payment now in effect. 1t was felt
that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, on account Of the information
at its command regarding all phases
Of railroad operation, is in the best po-
sition to determine the merits Of the
case.

HIGH WAGES ON
AMERICAN ROADS
Railroad Payroll Records Made
Public by the Carriers.
NATIONAL INQUIRY URGED

Managers Offer to Leave Question Of
$1oo,ooo,ooo Wage Demands to an I'm
partial Federal Tribunal to Prevent
Disaster of Nationwide Strike.
New York.-What is probably the
most elaborate study of wages ever
made in any industry has just been
completed by the National Conference
Committee of the railways.
For six months railway accountants
throughout the country have been en-
gagged in collecting the payroll records
to show the actual wage payments to
every individual employe among the
100000 engineers, conductors, firemen
and brakemen now voting on a ma
tional strike for new wage scale.
That these employees are one of the
highest paid groups of workers in any
industry is disclosed by the summary
made public today by the railroad
managers,
The average yearly wage payments
to all Southern train employees Gnclud-
ing those who worked only part of the
year,, as shown by the 1915 payrolls,
were:

The railroads have considered every
man whose name appears on the Janu.
ary and December payrolls as an EN-.
ploye for year, no matter how little
service he performed in the other ten
months. 1t is pointed out by the man.
ayers that these averages are, in con.
sequence, an understatement of the
earning power of these employees.
An Appeal to the Public.
The National Conference Committee,
In making these wage figures public,
says:
"Do you believe in arbitration or
Industrial warfare?
''The train employees on all the
railroads are voting whether they
will give their leaders authority
to tie up the commerce of the coun-
try to enforce their demands for a
$1O0,O00,000 wage increase.

service-yOur service. This army
Of employees is in the public service

"You pay for rail transportation

to the employees.
"a $1OO,0OO,O00 wage increase for
men in freight and yard service
Qess than one-flfth Of all employes)
is equal to per cent advance in
all freight rates.
"The managers Of the railroads,
as trustees for the public, have no
right to place this burden on the
cost Of transportation to you with
out clear mandate from a public
tribunal speaking for you.
"The railroads have proposed the
settlement of this controversy either
under the existing national arbitra-
ton law, or by reference to the
Interstate Commerce Commission
This offer has been refused by the
employees representatives

investigation under the government
