Presidents in Face of This
Come Back With a
Counter-Proposal.
ARBITRATION IS
THEME IN WHOLE
Crisis Expected at Noon
When President Will
See the Leaders.
XXIAsHTNGToN. Aug. 25.-After

"ASHINGTON, Aug. 25 After
" the heads of the four great rail-
road brotherhoods threatening a ma
tion-wide strike had gone to the White
House today with "A warning that their
men would not wait longer than to-
morrow night for reply from the
railroad executives to President Will
sons suggestion that an eight hour
day be granted, the executives tonight
agreed upon counter proposal to be
submitted to the president tomorrow
This plan, holding to the demand for
arbitration which the employees have
declared they unalterably oppose, pro-
poses:
That the question of an eight hour
day is not directly connected with the
matter at issue and that there is a
difference between an actual eight
hour day and an eight-hour day as a
basis for pay;
That the questions of increases of
wages are indisputably questions
which should be settled by arbitra-
ton:
That the present demands of the
trainmen be submitted to arbitration
by the interstate commerce commits
sion or some board to be created by
the president or in some other way:
That if the arbtrating board finds
wage increases should be granted
their findings will be retroactive and
the increase will take effect from the
time the arbitration begins.
That a fund shall be created by
the railroads to provide for this con-
tingency, the interstate commerce
will be necessary, and the arrange
n in
not yet determined upon, the men
agreeing that during the period of
arbitration there shall be no further
demands or any attempt to strike"
Draft the Report.
A draft of this report was submit
ted tonight by the committee Of eight
presidents who have been constantly
at work upon its various phases for a
week There was some discussion, but
only one vote was taken and by II the
sixty presidents and the managers ap-
proved the draft. Some slight addi
tions to the phraseology are to be
made and the final draft presented at
anC ther meeting tomorrow morning.
From that meeting the report is ex-
IeCted to be taken to President Will
sen. 1t was said tonight this will be
the final report of the executives.
''It puts the issue squarely up to the
men," was the way one Off i"er phrases

The crisis in the situation is expect
ed by noon tomorrow when the presi-
dent has an engagement to see the

SENATE SHOCKED BY
KERN'S LONG CIGAR
FOrgcts Rules and Clouds OratOry
With Tobacco Smoke: Unheard-
of Affair.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Leaning
comfortably back in his chair in the
front row of the senate this afternoon,
Senator John w. Kern of Indiana
drew large, black cigar from his
pocket, and. after pleased inspec-
ton, lighted it. Blowing gusts of the
smoke into the air, he faced around
to listen to speech by Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina.
Senator Gallinger, dean of the up
per house, gasped as he saw the
smoke clouds and hurriedly adjusted
his glasses. In his more than twenty
five years of service he had never
seen such utter disregard of the rules,
history and proprieties of the senate
Mr.. Kern was attracting all the at
tention and the orator none by the
time Tom Kellar, the Democratic pair
clerk. hurriedly approached Mr.. Kern
and recalled to the Democratic leader
where he was.
With a sheepish grin Mr.. Kern
threw the cigar into a cuspidor.

The reported attack on Kavala threat
ems TO render the situation between
Greece and the central powers acute.
Ever since the first Balkan war Sofia

its rightful fruits of victory and its
concession to Greece has been the
source of much i'll feeling.
Apparently from the French state
ment the allied troops do not plan an
advance on the right wing as British
cavalry detachments are reported to
have destroyed bridges over the
Angista river. On the left wing Paris
reports "appreciable" progress for the
Serhlans and the capture of several
hundred prisoners. In the center
where the main effort Of the allies is
expected, heavy artillery action is
taking place, but there is no report of
infantry operations.
Lull Continues.
The lull on the eastern front con-

fies in Bankruptcy Trial

SAW PROCEEDINGS
Burnstein Declares That
Defendant Is Real Father
of Children.

CHICAGO, Aug 25.-How Edward
W. Morrison, eccentric millionaire
whose estate is under investigation
in Federal Judge Llndis' court,
adopted two girls of whose parentagc
their supposed father accused him,
was told on the witness stand today
by one of the girls herself. The wit
ness was Margaret Burstein Morrison.
10 years old. Jacob Burnstein had
testified that his wife on her death
bed had confessed the millionaire was
the rather of her and her younger
sister, Alice.
The courtroom was crowded when
the two girls were brought in. Mar
sarots testimony followed revelations
indicating that the aged millionaire
had paid thousands of dollars to an
organized gang of blackmailers: that
he had loaned money freely on "I.
q. US of irresponsible persons and
had paid huge sums for questionable
amusement.
Margaret said she had been legally
adopted by the millionaire.
Judge lands himself questioned
the girl. She said she had lived at
the Morrison home since MAY 10.
1916.
Were you present at the adoption
proceedings Judge Lands asked.
"Yes."
Mothers Wish.
What do you know about the
adoption?"
Il know it was my mothers wish. ="
Did Mr.. Morrison ever say any
thing to you about his property"
NO" the witness answered
Or about plans for your future 3"
He said he would take us and give
lis an education"
Margaret will be on the stand when
the case is resumed Tuesday. AS
court adjourned today force was
necessary to hold back the crowd
which sought to get close view of
the girls.
Morrison's estate was thrown into
bankruptcy proceedings after an as
signment of much of his property to
James A. Ward, an attorney By
terms of the will of Morrison's father
much of the property would revert
to the city of Chicago in event Ed
ward MORRISON died without issue. His
estate wis estimated to be worth
about 100000. but so far the only
tangible assets found were an apart
ment building worth about $1,000
a collection of old coins and 81 in
cash.
During the hearing today a tele-
gram was delivered to Attorney Ward
from A. Kolar. Thornton hotel. Butte.
Mont, saying he had saved Morrison
from human vultures in 1906 and
was threatened with bodily horm.
Judge Lands said he thought Kolar
