way, Friday night, he is in the city.
Mr.. johnson says that his son was
at the Imperial Cafe about $3.50
o'clock on the night of the accident,
that he went from the cafe to his
room at the Palace Hotel on East
Broadway and that he was not in
the car when the accident happened
and did not know of the tragedy
until next morning.

were Howard Murray and Herbert
Brunwin, two young men who are
employed in the Fox oil field. These
two young men stated that they were
with Wesley johnson at the Imperial
Cafe about $3.50 that evening. that
they all left the cafe together, that
they walked to the Palace Hotel they
went to Wesley Johnson's room and
were with him until along about II
o'clock or after Murray and Brun'
win registered at the same hotel and
when the three young men separated
they retired for the night.
Murray and Brunwin state that they
knew nothing of the tragedy until
the next morning. They left here to
return TO their work. While they
were in Hoaldton they learned that
Wesley Johnson was charged with
the crime. They felt it would be
criminal on their part If they failed
TO exonerate him. These two young
men state that 1t would be impossible
for Wesley Johnson TO have been in
the car at the time the wreckless
drive was made that at the hour OF
the accident is said to have happened
that they were with him in his room
at the hotel

PLAN" to prevent the te-up of the
country's transportation system
In brief the board proposed:
THAT the railroads Immediately
put into effect freight reductions
equivalent to the wage reductions
authorized last July.
THAT requests for further wage
decreases be withdrawn.
3-That the employees withdraw
their strike order pending action OF
the board on any request for further
wage reductions which the carriers
subsequently might file.

been confined until today according
TO conferences arranged by President
Harding between the public group OF

being that the president intended tc
leave the matter temporarily in the
hands Of the two agencies created by
law to supervise railroad transporta
tion. There was some expectation
however. of a statement from Post

announcement that mail trains would
not be given special consideration ir
