FOR FIRST TIME CARS
OPERATE IN NEW YORK

New York, Feb. 12.-For the first
time in nearly week surface cars
appeared today in lower Broadway
and other parts of the city, but they
carried no passengers. They were
work cars sent out to dig ice off the
tracks and were followed by hun
dreds of uniformed motormen and
conductors armed with picks, shovels
and scrapers. When service will be
resumed remains problematicaI.
A bright sun again today helped
the street cleaning army to open
thoroughfares, but Arnold McShay,
street cleaning commissioner, said
it would be at least a fortnight be-
fore the streets are free of snow and
ice even if there are no more storms.
All traffic was barred from LaFay-
cite street today, so that one lateral
thoroughfare could be cleaned for
vehicular traffic.
The menace to health has become
SO grave that Health Commissioner
Copeland suggested that individuals
owning trucks or cars carry their
own garbage to the city dumps.
The difficulty the city has had in
obtaining snow shovelers was giver
new explanation today when nu
merous signs were stuck in the snow
banks throughout the city carrying
such inscriptions as mo Beer, NJ
Work." and LET the Prohibitionist!

THE DEMANDS
OF WBRKIN'GMEN
Now With .P-S4dent Wilson;
Hines Undbie to Agree
With Heads
OF RAILROAD UNIONS
IF RAILROAD UNIONS

Washington, Feb. 12.-The dis
position of the wage demands of two
million roalroad employees is in the
hands of President Wilson today.
Statements setting forth the views
of both sides of the controversy,
one giving the reasons why the wages
of the employees should be increased
and the other the reasons why Di-
rector General Hines could not agree
to such increases on the eve of turn
ing back the railroads of the count
try to private ownership were in
course of preparation this morning
and will be presented to President
Wilson today.
The decision was left with Presi-
dent Wilson yesterday after Mn
Hines and Representatives of the EN-
ployeess failed to reach an agree
ment. The break in the wage negot
ations came on February the third
when Mr.. Hines announced that il
would be eminently improper for the
i government to increase the wages O.
employees and then turn the road:
back to the owners. On the othe,
| hand the representative of the EN-
ployees of the roads held that the
| cost of living had continued to ad
| vance and that they held up tn
strike last July upon the promise o
| the government to reduce the cost o
| living. This promise had not beer
met and they were justified in pres
| ing their demands.

TROUBLE IN HER THROAT

Paris, Feb. 11.-Gaby Des1ys, the
French actress and dancer, died to-
day.
Gaby Deslys had recently under
gone several operations for an in
lection of the throat. Early in De-
cember she was considered to be in
a grave condition and her relatives
were summoned from America.
The name of Gaby Deslys became
known after former King Manuel, of
Portugal, displayed his infatuation
for her. That was ten years or
more ago. In 1911 she arrived in
America and made her appearance
on the New York stage. She made
second visit to America in 1915
and returned to London and Paris
the following year.
The throat affection from which
the actress suffered is said to have
been complication of influenza.

Washington, Feb. 12.-The Amer
lean people were advised today by
Secretary Lansing to find in the life
of Lincoln the ability to forget self
in the direction of love of their coun
try, and to appropriate unto them
selves the principles of liberty and
Justice which were the fundamental
principles of his life and teaching.
BY a reconsecration of these noble
ideals we do honor both to him and
the American spirit which was the
embodiment of his life and charact-
en-. He is an inspiration to all the
generations both now and those
which are to come after him to for
get self in the determination that
American shall mean al that our coun
try should mean to our own people
and to all with whom we come in
contact.
