had gone on a practice march. When

uniform remained on the bank.
None of the sergeants who acted as
lifeguards had seen any one in diff

identity of the missing man as Ser

whose New York home is at 44S West
5Sth Street. The body was not recov-

Lockwood, who was twenty-six, was

to.day-they were leaving on every

O'clock understood that the tentative
date for further action would be. next
Friday. September !. That calcuIa-
ton was based on the fact that the
President was scheduled TO make ms
notification speech at Shadow Lawn on
Saturday.
Although the situation looked more
menacing than ever tonight, Few GouI9
believe that the railway unions, plloted
bv such shrewd politicians as Carrot
son. Lee, Stone and Carter, would RISK
public denunciation by ordering a
strike until the President finished ms
negotiations. II was recalled, however
that the strike call was issued two
wears ago even after the President had
interviewed and before he succeeded N
getting both sides to agree to arpltra-
ton Of the demands of the western
engineers and fremen.
Some railroad executives were IN
clined to regard the union exodus 10
dav as window dressing" and bluff, but
ali admitted that when the strike ma
chinery got started crisis was AZ

La Toilette In Opposition.
President Wilson was informed OF
one distressing fact at this afternoons
meeting with Secretary Lane and Sem
ator Newlands. Senator La Toilette IN
tends TO come back to fight the pro-
posed increase of the Interstate Com
merce Commission from seven TO nine
members. The President learned that
the Senate will probably take two weeks
TO debate this proposed increase. which
has already been passed by the House
This increase is one of the measures
by which the President hopes to APP
pease the railroads demand fo- in
surance against future industrial
trouble.
President Wilson has strong doubts
now that he can prevent a strike, al
though he has the brotherhoods on ms
side and feels certain that he can hold
them off for a reasonable length OF
time. 1t is evident that he intends TO
postpone the crisis as long as possiole
in the hope that some means may be
devised for averting it. That he VIII
use the troops if necessary to keep
trains moving is almost certain. The
railroads expect to get that assistance
in the event of a general walk out.
Getting the legislation passed that
has been suggested is a different mat
ter.
In the Senate such leaders as Cum
Minis, Clapp and La Toilette, all mem

patch from Washington. The decision
is a complete victory for the railroad
contention that their control and
operation Of the Chesapeake steamer
lines is nothing more or less than an
extension Of their rail lines from Nor

held that continued railroad ownership
