TO DEAD AMBASSADOR
High Officials Tell of His Excellent
Work at Toxic as Envoy Of
United States.
BY the Associated Press.


TOXIC. March 9. 2:45 p.m.-The body
of George w. Guthrie. the American
ambassador to Japan who died sudden
ly Thursday, was taken to the Ameri-
can embassy today under the escort Of
japanese cavalrymcn. Funeral serv-
ices probably will be held Sunday. The
emperor will be represented by an i'm
perial prince.
The sudden death of Ambassador
Guthrie was a shock to Japanese states
men. by whom he was held in high
esteem. Premier Count Terauchi. For
eign Minister Notone and Vice Foreign
Minister Shidebara expressed to the AS
sociated Press tributes to the nobility
and character of the late ambassador
and his efforts in the promotion Of
friendship between Japan and the
United States which. they declared, con-
stantly have become more cordial since
his residence here. Members of the

March by representatives of the four

Greer of Railway Conductors, Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
einemen and Brotherhood of Railroad
Tralnmen-1n response to a call issued
by the chief executives, for the pur
pose of comforting as to the situation
regarding settlement of the eight
hour day proposition. 1t was decided
to renew efforts to obtain settlement,
and meeting has been arranged with
the national conference committee of
the railways. to be held in New York
on Thursday. March 15
The 400 chairmen of the four trans
portation organizations attending the
meeting reported the conditions exist
ing on their various systems as even
worse than September 2. 1916, when the
Adamson eight-hour law was enacted.
They complained bitterly because the
men they represent are working for
the same rates of pay and longer hours
and worse conditions than prior to the
enactment of such law, and called at
tention to the fact that nearly all other
classes of labor had been given sub
stantial increases during the past year,
which in a measure offset the increased
cost of living.
They authorized the chief executives
to press the matter to an early con-
clusion and while the situation is
grave. the chief executives feel hopeful
of effecting a peaceful settlement when
they meet the managers committee.
The men feel, and their officers sup
port them in the opinion, that the rail-
way companies should have applied
the law as intended by Congress and
the President of the United States, thus
giving the men the benefit from Jan
uary /. instead of resorting to the
courts.

Washington Back YardGarden
Proves an Example to Russia

Washington has set an example for
warning Russia in the matter of pro-
vidng fresh vegetables through an ex-
tensive system of backyard gardens,
according to a cabled message received
here last night.
Prompted by the campaign inaugu-
rated in Washington to encourage the
production of garden vegetables on
vacant lots and in back yards, the min
lister of agriculture has authorized the
organization of group of society ladies
of Petrograd to exploit the vast vacant
meadows around Petrograd.
The government has agreed to finance
a plan to populariZe the raising of
common garden vegetables by the peo-
pie, and instructors will be sent out
to assist in the work. 1t is believed
that this will materially solve the prob
lem of fresh vegeta bles for the city
should need arise, according to the
cablegram.
The scarcity of fresh vegetables and
of canned ones for non-combatants is
due to the policy of the ministry to
send all the best supplies to the armies
at the front.
In line with the plan suggested COM
mittees are being organized under the
direction of Nine. Plesnov, popular in
community undertakings, ard the wives
and ladies of the foreign embassies are
assisting.
