R ail ? e ace .Orn Separa ate Basis. Aim
"Moderates'' in Railway Circle Said to Look with Favor on Plan Jewell Present at Ball. tirnOre Conference.
By GEORGE R. HOLMES.

Washington, Sept. 7.-Behind an enveloping mantle of secre- cy, leaders of the striking rail- way shopcrafts have borrowed a leaf from John Lewis book and are engaged today in drive to secure a group of sep arate peace agreements with those executives who are known to constitute the "mod- crate" element in the associa- tion of railway executives. Underlying these efforts is the be- lief that once a partial peace IS es- abolished it will be only a question Of time until. as in the case of the miners strike the agreements can be extended to embrace a national peace.
 Just how successful the efforts have been to date cannot be revealed 1t was said by labor spokesmen wno confirmed the fact that negotiations are once more under way. Nor would they reveal the identity of the rail- way executives concerned, other than to describe them as the tfm oderateS' who have been hard hit by the nine weeks strike of the shopcrafts. \
 An important meeting of the strike leaders was held in Baltimore late yesterday it was learned today by the International News.
 Ih1S meeting followed two days "work" in Baltimore by Bert M. Jewell, national director of the strike. Jewell checked out of the Emerson Hotel on Tuesday. On Wednesday. the presidents of the six striking shop crafts went to Baltimore, en- gagged a private room at the Emerson and held a five-hour session, begfn- ming shortly after noon and continu- ing until 6 in the evening.
 Willard Absent.
 Daniel Willard, president of inc Baltimore & Ohio, and recognized mod crate" among the executives, did not attend the meting, but is un- derstood to have been in communi- cation with it. After a five-hour ses- sion the strike chiefs broke up and scattered to various destinations last night, prepatory to the meeting of the strikers policy committee of 90 members in Chicago early next week.
 How much progress toward the separate peace agreements was made at the Baltimore session those at- tending declined to reveal.
 In addition to the presidents of the six striking shopcrafts, the Baltimore session also was attended by B. H. Fitzgerald, head of the Order of Railway Clerks. part of whose or ganization went out on sympathetic unauth orized strike with the shopmen.

In Trumbuu a tree was leveled across the road opposite the residence of Dr. White, a Trunlbun physician, nar. roWly missing two men as 1t fell.

Patro1man Thomas A. Tierney, at- tached to the Third precinct, was sus- pended from duty last night by Super intendent of Police Patrick J. FIana- gan, charged with conduct unbecom- ing an officer. Back of this bold an nouncement is believed to be one of the most interesting stories in police annals.
 The specific offense with which Pa- trolman Tierney is charged has not yet been made public, although de- tails were this morning forwarded to the members of the discipline com mittee of the Board of Police Com missionerS, who are keeping them secret and who are expected to pass upon the charges at their next meet ing.
 Mysterious Shooting Recalled.
 Tferney, it may be recalled, is the policeman who was nysteriously shot some time ago. and who either would not or could not identify his arrail- ant. When it appeared that the in jured policeman's life was hanging in the balance, his brother officers on the force, almost to a man, of fered to submit O an operation for blood transfusion to save the injured mans life.

 Damages Local Property

Considerable property damage
 and some unusual accidents were
 left in the wake today of the
 storm which last night swept this
 part of the state, accOmpanied by
 lightning, hail, and high wind.
 The storm descended with such suddenness that harbor craft had not time to reach moorings and fishermen out on the sound caught the full force of the blast. So far as can be learned all those af1oat in this vicinity man aged to reach safety although a man adrift in a rowboat off the Milford Yacht Club during the height of the storm was rescued only with diff culty.
 Four Canoeists ImperilIed.
 Two men and two women who put out in canoe from Sound Beach just before the storm broke. are reported to have disap- peared and search is being made for them today. One of the strange freaks of the storm was the death of 24 chickens in chicken run at Sound Beach, which were killed by hail stones.

As they were com ing up the steep grade approaching his residence sounds of loud talking and apparanetly hilarious laughter were audible. As the vehicle drew nearer to the home he recognized the sounds not as that of a party out for pleasure but more like one in which a girl was engaged in a struggle and was screaming for help. Ruski, he said, Jumped from the porch and fol- lowed by himself they jumped into Ruskfs truck intending to follow the car.
