NO WAGE DECISION REACHED
Santa F'c Officials and Employees VIII
Go Before Labor Board.

The Santa Fe officials and the rep
resentativeS of the shop laborers, the
storehouse laborers, the coal passers,
station laborers, janitors and other
classes of comparatively light, un-
skilled labor were not able to come to
an agreement onthe proper basis for
the wage reduction which the roads
officials desire, and it was decided this
morning that the question would be
submitted to the United States labor
board for adjustment.
The questions submitted to the labor
board are dealt with on a docket just
as the cases in court, and it is i'm
possible to forecast the time when the
decision of the board, or even a hear
ing, will be held.
No agreement was reached in the
conference between Santa Fe officials
and the representatives of maintenance
of way and track laborers Thursday
regarding the intention of the road to
reduce wages to a minimum basis of
80 cents an hour. After an all-day
discussion, it was agreed to refer the
question to the United States labor
board.
The maintenance of way and track
laborers were represented at the con-
ference by E. E. Clark, and there were
present General Managers F. c. Fox.
Harry L. Hibbard, of Los Angeles, and
]. F. Parker, of Amarillo.
The majority of the similar cases
which have been referred to the labor
board have been reported back favor
ably to the employees and against a re-
ductiOn in wages

Attorney General to Study Case
of Socialist Chief.
Pardon Expected To Be Recon-
mended to Harding.
DEBS WENT TO THE CAPITAL
On Way Back to Cell After In
terviewing Daugherty.
Refuses to Discuss Trip
by Prisoner.

Washington, March 25-Attorney
General Daugherty will study the case
of Eugene V. Debs over the weekend
before making any informal recon-
mendations to President Harding
either for or against a pardon for the
Socialist leader, it was learned after
the cabinet meeting today.
Daugherty had hoped to have his
recommendations in shape to give to
Harding soon after the cabinet session
today.
Harding came out of the cabinet
room in the midst of the session to
make an inquiry concerning the Debs
case. 1t was said, however, that the
cabinet had taken no definite action in
the case.
Pardon Is Expected.
The general impression among those
close to Daugherty was that the par
don will be granted. Daugherty's con-
ference with Debs at his office here
yesterday was considered the final step
in reviewing the case.
1t was understood that unless some
new obstacle to the granting of the
pardon materializes duting Debbs's
ment that Debs will be freed may be
expected in the near future.
Debs Back to Cell.
Atlanta, March 25.-Eugene Debs
reached here about noon today on his
way back to his cell in the federal
prison after his visit to Attorney Cen
eral Daugherty at Washington. He
would not discuss his trip to Washing
ton, and accompanied by Warden
Zerbst and his attorney, left i'm
mediately for the prison.
Warden Fred Zerbst of the federal
prison continued today his refusal to
discuss the visit of Eugene Debts to
washington. Debs himself was not
expected to reach Atlanta until this
afternoon.
Slipping into Washington unattend-
cd early yesterday, Debs went to the
department of justice. held a three
hour conference with the attorney
general and left to return to the At
lanta prison before his visit was an

Baltimore, March 25.-In view of
the fact that there are two American
cardinals now, and both in the east,
probability of another cardinal Tor
Baltimore seems remote. according to
persons high in church affairs. The
throne in the cathedral here upon
which Cardinal Gibbons, who died yes

placed with the deep purple OF an

According to the usual procedure
the bishops of the Baltimore province
will meet in secret conclave here
within the next two months to discuss
the merits of conditions for the arch
bishopric. The result will be the rec
ommendation of three names which
will be submitted to Rome. In specu-

stand out the names of Bishop VIM

THE FRENCH PRINCE" OF
WISCONSIN.

Did Louis XVII of France live and
die in Wisconsin? Was the "Lost
Dauphin" a missionary to the Amer
lean Indians? Who was Eleazar Viii
lians? These are questions which
probably never will be answered.
In 1922 when the Oneida Indians
were moved from the central part
of New York State to the Oneida re-
servatioln in Wisconsin, one white man
accompanied them. He had lived with
them for many years, had been re-
ceived into the tribe and was ac-
knowledged as one of their chiefs. His
origin and history are shrouded in
romantic mystery. He himself be-
lieved, and many others who have
carefully investigated the circum-
stances and traditions also believe,
that he was Louis XVII of France, the
''Lost Dauphin," heir to the French
throne, who disappeared as a child
at the time, of the French Revolution
The theory is that he was spirited
away by his friends and brought up
among the American Indians.
This interesting old mystery is
brought to the front again this fall
in the celebration of the Centennial
of the Domestic and Foreign Mission
airy Society of the Episcopal Church.
for Eleazar Williams was one of the
first missionaries appointed by the
Society shortly after it was founded
one hundred years ago. At his own
request he was ordained and ass 'Sned
to work among the Oneidas.
From the beginnings made by the
Lost Dauphin" a very picturesque
church work has developed among
these Indians. The first Episcopal
church In Wisconsin was that erected
by the Oneidas for their Worship.
Later, larger and more elaborate
stone building took the place of the
original structure and a school and
hospital were added. About a year
and q half ago this second church
was struck by lightning and destroyed
A third building is about to be erected
on the same site to accommodate the
six hundred Indian communicates
who make up the congregation.
Every parish of the Episcopal
church in the country will observe
the Centennial of its Missionary So
ciety on Sunday, November s. In the
parishes of Wisconsin the services will
be particularly devoted to a grateful
commemoration of Eleazar Williams
and other hardy pioneers who carried
the church forward step by step with
the advancing frontier of civilization.
