Ever Before.

Chicago. Aug. 17-Railroads and
shippers will this fall and winter face
enc of the worst shortages of freight
cars in the history Of the country I'M
less unexpected and radical changes
arc made in industrial, commercial
and transportation conditions, accord
ing to a review published by the Rail
way Gazette.
"The net surplus on August 1 was
only 1866 cars" saws the review.
THE smallest net surplus previously
reported on August ! was that Of
1907, which time there were 1886
cars, and in The fall of that year
there was a severe car shortage, the
net shortage being $4,000 cars. There
are enough cars to handle the coun-

handled with care and efficiency
Unless they are thus handled there is
going to be serious trouble"

RAILROAD PRESIDENTS WILL INSIST
UPON ARBITRATING ALL DIFFERENCES

The attitude OF the railroad presi-
dents is not 50 clear. They began
arriving tonight. All are expected to
be here by tomorrow. No one can
say what will ne the effect of an ap-
peal such as The president of the
United States, seeking to maintain
the welfare of nation, can make, but
from such information as can be
gathered it appears that the railroad
presidents, if the managers commit
tee understands them, are unalterably
opposed to cOnceding the eight-hour
day or anything else out of hand, but
are quite ready 10 arbitrate anything
and everything in almost any form of
arbitration on which the employees
and managers committee may agree.
The railroad presidents, it is UNI
derstood, justify their stand on the
broad ground of maintaining the prin-
ciple of arbitra ion, which, they say,

the outcome.
Congress May Take Hand.
With the growing seriousness of
the situation, congress began paying
more attention to the crisis today,
anc there were many indications OF
intervention to prevent nationwide
tie-up of traffic.
The general expectation is that the
railroad officials, after seeing the
president tomorrow. will ask that
they be given several days, perhaps
week, to consider their course.
A score of the officials went into
session with the managers commit
tee, a1d 1t was said that one of the
possibilities was the preparation of
statement to be given out before their
visit to the president, putting their
position before the country.
While the railroad presidents would
not mako any prediction until they
had familiarized themselves with the
situation here, there were more than
onc to intimate that it would take
strong appeal to induce them to re-
verse the attitude that has been taken
by their representatives on the mama

Slayer
SORRY He FAILED
TAKE MORE LIVES
Calcasieu Parish Posse Cap
lures Carriere, Who Is
Fatally Shot Thru Lung.

Lake Charles, La, Aug. IT,
Hellaire Carriere, former convict, and
slayer of Sheriff Marion Swords of
St. Landry parish, tonight made a
statement to District Attorney Ed
wards Of Calcasieu parish, in which
he admitted he had killed three per-
sons during the past year, and eX-
pressed regret that he had not made
the total greater.
Besides the sheriff, Carriere says
he killed Jake Pierce, a negro, near
Jennings, La, in self-defense, and shot
and killed an 18-year-old negro in the
Mallet section of st. Landry parish
because he had learned the boy had
been promised $25 if he would reveal
his hiding place after he had escaped
from the Jennings Jail. The latter
killing occurred three weeks before
he shot Sheriff Swords.
For the killing of Swords, Carriere
expressed regret. but admitted he was
sorry he had not killed the two
negroes who were with the sheriff
instead of only wounding them.
Carriere was captured early today
near Elton by Sheriff Reid and five
deputies. Carriere, for whom the
officers have been lookin gsince he
killed Sheriff Swords a month ago,
was surprised at an abandoned saw
mill by the posse, and when he at
tempted to escape, he received a
charge of buckshot through the lung,
fired from Sheriff Reid's gun.
At the Calcasieu jail, where Car
riere is imprisoned, it was stated to-
night that the prisoner would not re-
cover. Carriere sent for a priest
when he learned his wound is consld-
cred mortal.

Germans Reported to Have
Lost Heavily in Six Des-
perate Assaults.
ALLIES CHECKED
IN THE BALKANS
MYSTERY Exists as to Situation on the
Eastern Front, Russian, German
and Austrian War Offices With.
holding Information.
ASSOCIATED Press Summary

ASSOCIATED Press Summary
For the first time in weeks there
is no change of importance reported
in any theater for today.
The most violent fighting occurred
on the western end of the British line
on the Somme. Six times the Ger
mans advanced in desperate effort
to bend back the British line north
west of Pozieres Reports to London
indicate that all of these assaults were
repulsed with heavy losses, and the
British captured about 100 yards of
trenches northwest Of Bazentine.
An interesting feature Of the fight
ing on the western front is that the
Germans, contrary to their usual prac-
tice, have SO far made no attempt to
deliver counter attack in the region
where the French and British claim to
have captured nearly three miles of
trenches Wednesday.
Some mystery exists as to the situa-
ton On the eastern front. For two
consecutive days the Russians have
announced that nothing of Importance
had occurred. The Austrian and Ger
man war offices have been almost
equally uncommunicative.
The only fighting mentioned by
Vienna was the repulse of Russian at
tacks on the lines of General Won
Boehm Ermolli, who is in command of
the Teutonic forces retiring from the
Tarnopol front.
Berlin reports the repulse of Rus
sian attacks south of Brody.
The lull in the Italian operations
against Trieste is unofficially ex-
planned from Rome as due to General
Cadorna's desire to straighten his line
before proceeding in general often
sive against the great Austrian sea-
port.
Austrian seaplanes have again
raided Venice. but Rome says they
caused only slight damage.

PARDON ISSUED
FOR "BUD'' RnEA.

Case Stirred All Arkansas,
and Pardon Issuance
ReneWs Interest.

committed by Joe T. Robinson, then
governor. Prior to March 8, 1913,
Rhea had spent % months in Jail
awaiting the final outcome of his case.
Rhea's case stirred all of South
eastern Arkansas from the night of
the murder of Vitol Archard, con-
stable from Farrell, on May -, 1911,
until Rhea's sentence was committed
two years later. 1t was fought
through the state courts and finally
was dragged into the United States
supreme court, where it was pending
when the death sentence was COM
muted.
Four of the principals Of the af
fair, in addition to Archard, are dead.
One was mobbed, one died in Jail at
Dumas and two died after being sent
to the penitentiary.
