Brotherhood Leaders Smiling Broadly
at End of ParIey-Were to See

With Railway Managers.
Proposals Made.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The first
step in the effort of President Wilson
to prevent the threatened tieup Of
the country's railroads by strike end
ed at noon when representatives for
the employees left the White House
smiling broadly. They had been in
conference with the President an hour
and a half.
In Presidents Lands.
THE negotiations are entirely in
the Presidents hands" said A. B. Gar
retson, spokesman for the employees.
He refused to discuss the situation
beyond that. Warren S. Stone, rep
resentative of the Brotherhood of Lo-
connective Engineers, said:
Il am optimistic"

representatives of the railway man.

The President spent part of the inter-
vening time going over the stenograph-
ic report of the morning session in
order to formulate proposals to make
to the managers.
An apparently we'll authenticated re-
the morning conference was to the ef'
feet that the employees would agree to
arbitration of the case provided the
railroads agreed to withdraw their
counter proposals and that the rail
road managers had so agreed. Fol
lowing the conference none of the EN-,
ployes' representatives would confirm
this report.
No Signs of Encouragement.
These counter proposals were tina
any discussion should include, besides
a wage readjustment, a readjustmen'
of rules and regulations on which pres
emit wages are based. The railroad
managers contend it is essential thai
the whole matter be taken up, since i
obviously would be unfair to have thu
old rules and regulations govern the
proposed new wage basis.
Several Of the representatives, a.
they left the executive mansion, waved
their hats to the newspaper men, so o
them, waiting outside. There was NJ
indication that the men felt discour

Garretson's face was flushed and h,
mopped it with his handkerchief, blu
he was smiling. Immediately afte
the men left Judge Chambers returned
to the White House for another cor
ference.

I'm view Of the experience Of other

widespread interest Of various organiza-

come for the State to adopt a law pro-

pendent children. in order to avoid
breaking up the family. Such q law
should be similar to that which was
passed by the Senate, in the session of
1915.
Until tho capacity Of the school for

it is evident that there will occur from
time to time instances where feeble

elsewhere. It Is therefore recommended
that the law prohibiting tho keeping Of
them in such institutions be SO amended
as to allow those who have been adjudged
feeble minded by competent authority.

certain circumstances to persons other
than their parents be so amended as to
require notice to overSeers Of the poor

formally several of these matters and
are very glad to report that the rail-
roads have responded very fairly to
our suggestions and in the time ia bles
which went into effect Oct. last, these
matters have all been attended to, and
so far as we know there is no opportu-

points a change in the time of depart

land WILL THE
CARIBOU RETURN
TO Maine HAuNTS?
Warden Bert Spencer Does Not
Think SO-FOxes Plentiful
and Very Destructive, Killing
Fawns and Partridges.
maine Woods. Dec. 81

Time was when immense herds Of
caribou roamed the woods Of Maine.
and like the bison of the west wers
shot by the hundreds. They emigrat.
ed and rarely has one been seen In tho
State since.
Reports have come at various times
that they have been seen, and they
hH%e been the subject of much specu.
lation. Everyone would like to see
them again in Maine but few believe
they will ever return in any number.
Early in the fall a report came that
a herd had been seen in the Seven
Islands district by Game Warden Bert
F. Spencer.
Mr.. Spencer kindly answered our1
letter in regard to them and we are
pleased to publish his letter which fol.
lows:
Seven Islands. Me-, Dec. 1, 1915.
Maine Woods, Phillips, Me-,
Dear Sirs:-
In reply to yours of October oath in
regard to the caribou in my district
My district takes in ~ townships on OF
near the Canadian border. About three
months ago a man named Fred Estey
(who works in w. j. Mobiles lumber
camp) and myself. saw herd of carl.
bou at the mouth of Burnt Land BROOK
Con the st. Johns river). We counted
25 caribou. About two miles below, onI
the river at the mouth of Otter Brook,
we counted Is more. The last of No
vember as l was going to one of the
lumber camps at Began brook. q few
miles below the other brooks, saw q
herd of caribou
1 did not put in any time looking
them up as 1t was late and wantad|
to make camp before 1t got too DARN
1t might have been the same herd ws|
saw earlier in the season: can't say
for sure.
Nobody up here bothers them al
everyone who sees them is interested
in them and would like to see them
multiply, although I don't see much
hope of that as this part Of the coun-
try is fairly overrun with deer. We
all know that the deer drive the carl.
bou away.
Foxes are plentiful and are very des.
tructive as they kill great many
fawns and cartridges. There should
never have been a close time put on
foxes in my opinion.
There are a lot of bear and Canadian
lynx in this part of the country but
not much else for fur.
1 hope this is what you wanted to
get from me and will be glad to tell
you anything else that can in regard
to my part of the country. i
Yours very truly,
BERT F. SPENCER.
