 WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S- Presi- dent Wilson has decided to go before congress personally tomorrow or Wednesday to recommend legislation and action to prevent or terminate the threatened nationwide railroad strike. He worked late tonight on the message which viii tell the house and senate of his negotiations to date and his present definite legislative program. He met the senate Demo- cratic legislative committee this after noon and discussed the time, manner and extent of his appearance before congress.
 Senator Newlands said tonight that the interstate commerce committee had undertaken to frame a general bill regarding the required legislation. It is considering legislation fixing an eight-hour day, an increase in revenue to meet added wages and amend mentS to arbitration laws and is also considering the application of the Canadian principle of prohibiting strike pending negotiations, or for 60 days after a decision in any contro- versy.

s VALENTINE, Neb., March s.
The trial Of William w. Cryderman,
charged with the murder of Mrs.
Anna Layport and Mrs. Nellie Hee-
Ian, opened this afternoon in the
district court here before a crowd
which taxed the capacity Of the
court house. Evidence at the pre-
liminary hearing of Cryderman,
held several months ago, went to
show that while working az a farm
hand on the ranch OF John Heelan
and while the owner was IN Omaha,
Cryderman. in a TT Of anger for a
reprimand from Mrs. Heelan, shot
that woman to death. Her COM
panion. Mrs. Layport, who had wit
messed the killing, attempted to sum-
mon help by telephone and was
twice shot while talking TO neigh
bors. The bodies Of both women,
Mrs. Layport being probably fatally
wounded, but still alive, were sat-
urated with oil and the house set on
fire.
Their bodies we're later found in
the burned dwelling. Taking one OF
his employers horses. Cryderman,
the evidence shows, rode to a rail-
road station and boarded a freight
train. He was captured by Sheriff
Roseler and kept in hiding for sew
eral days, as threats had been made
to lynch him.
The feeling against the prisoner is
still intense, as was shown today at
the trial, and no one is permitted to
enter the court room without sub
hitting to a search for concealed
weapons. John Heelan. husband Of
one Of the murdered women, de-
nounced cryderman during the trial
today and was with difficulty
quieted.
