RAILROAD MEN
DISCUSS TRAFFIC
SITUATION TODAY
Northern Pacific Officials Meet
. and Address Bismarck BuSi-
ness Men on Wage Demands
SHIPMENTS MAY
SOON BE TIED UP
La Toilette ............... 10
EstabrOok -. s

Representatives Of the Northern
Pacific road told group Of Bismarck
business men yesterday afternoon at
the Commercial club that a serious
situation may develop in trafhc al
fairs because of the demand OF 35O,
600 trainmen for increased pay, based
on a minimum day of eight hours
They frankly admitted that the rail-
roads desired to arbitrate the matter
and that some form of compromise
or Cancellation were the only aven
ues left to prevent strike or serious
tie-up in the movement of both the
! freight and passenger business.
Railroad Officials.
F. NJ. ,Metcalf, assistant to George
T. Slade, vice president of the North
ern Pacific: and I. C. Peil, publicity
agent of the same road, addressed
the business and professional men OF
the city, briefly, and presented the
railroad side of the controversy. In
the party of officials were: w. E.
Berner, Jamestown, division superin-
tendent, and F. Ingalls,, superintend-
ent of buildings and bridges. Agent
Mcdonald of Bismarck arranged the
meeting.
Not an Issue.
Mr.. Peil declared that the demand
of the men did not involve the issue
of an eight-hour day, despite the fact
that the trainmen are attempting to
arouse public opinion in their favor
i Lo% oh
hours
Mr.. Peil contended such was not
the case and that the only way in
which the eight-hour issue affected
the entire proposition was that the
men wanted to use this length of a
working day upon which to base their
pay.
Ten.Hour Basis.
Under the present arrangement the
divisions are operated upon basis
of ten hours to every ten miles. The
men want to reduce the minimum
day to an eight-hour run and all over
time to be paid time and a-half. This
would give every trainman under the
present running schedules considera-
crease in wages of 25 per cent.
The statisticians have figured that
the cost to the railroads would be
$1GO.00O.00O a year. or per capita
on national population expenditure of
81 for the benefit of $4,000 men.
Small Dividends.
Mr.. Peil stated 1nat the average
dividend paid by American roads now
was less than 3 per cent and that
twO-fifths of the roads were in re-
ceivers' hands today because of ex-
cessive wage and other demands. He
stated the same proposition more
graphically by stating that every two
out of five miles of railroad in the
United States were in the hands of
a receiver.
He said that no one could tell
| whether the men would strike or not.

DR.. Waite had asked him to attempt

check for $1,000"
DR.. Waite, according to the detect

to be a check for 81 900, to the order
of the girl, written by SCHNEIDER on a
sheet from his note book. This
"check" is now in the possession of
Mr. Schwann. SCHNEIDER said Waite
did not know he was detective DR..
Waite was taken to the prison yard
at Bellevue hospital tonight.
In making his statement to the dis
trict attorney today, Waite was SELF
possessed, and spoke with evident
deliberation.
Expects to Be EIectrocuted.
"Yes," he said, according to Mr..
Swami, 81 bought the arsenic, but I
know you do not believe what l am
going to tell you, SO I'll probably go
to the electric chair. Mr.. Peck was
an old man and he was very despond-
cent over the death of his wife. One
day he asked me to buy some poison
for him. I don't remember whether
he wanted arsenic or not. l went to
see physical acquaintance, told him
| wanted to kill a cat, and asked him
to recommend me to his druggist.
He called the druggist on the tele-
phone and told him l was all right.
I also told the druggist | wanted to
kill a cat. | took the poison home
and handed the package to Mr.. Peck.
I never saw it again.

Pushing the Army Bill.


Promise is now publicly made hat the
house will act on the measure for the increase
in the army within fortnight. Chairman Hay
OF the committee on military affairs suggests
the continental army plan will be abandoned,
and that the National Guard will be retained
upon such a basis for payment Of service as
will in a still greater degree federal.Ee the
forces Of the several states. This change was
TO be expected from the democrats, who are
loath TO approach any plan that may trench
upon the sacred party tenet OF state sover-
eighty. The effects OF state rights on the mill
tary have already been alluded to in The Bee
However, II the measure is carefully worked
out, Il may lead TO the establishment Of the
state troops on a basis that will eventually pro-
vide a properly drilled and disciplined force
for the service OF the general government. The
main question just now is to make arrange
ments for the support Of a regular army es-
adjustment OF sufficient size to form the COM
petent nucleus for the greater army that will
be needed should occasion for It's service ever
arise. With no party division on the general
question the bill ought not TO be very long on
its way from the committee to the president

Mistakes IN Export Firure..

Secretary Redfleld of the Department Of
Commerce has startled the country by admit
ting the inaccuracy OF the statistics for export
trade, sent out from his office. The matter is
serious only as Il indicates inefficiency in the
governmental accounting machinery. 1t is dis
turbing. because for definite information we
the people have come to rely generally on the
statements made by the departments at wash
ington, although they have been amazed at
times by the widely varying statements made,
purporting to be based upon and supported by
governmental statistics. Figures on exports Of
recent months have been useful mostly to up
hold the vainglory OF the administration in IT'S
claim for credit in the restoration Of prosper
ity. The real question is. how far can reports
from other departments of the government be
relied upon? The Department Of Commerce
offers as excuse that It has been operating
under a law passed in 1890 1t is time this
law was amended. and that other inquiry were
made to see what is needed to mako the gov
eminent reports dependable.

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampnos

injurious. as it dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle. =
The best thing to use is just plain null
sified cocoanut oil. for It is pure and
entirely greaseless. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps OF any
thing else all to pieces. You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
win last the whole family for months.

and rub It in, about a teaspoonfui is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
