Miscellaneous Forces Association Con.
sidering the Attcrbury Plan.

Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-Executives
of the Miscellaneous Forces Assoeia-
ton OF Pennsylvania Railroad En-
ployes began two-day conference
yesterday in the assembly hall OF the
Chamber OF Commerce. They will dis
cuss returning to the Atterbury plan
in force prior to the wage reductions
effective last July 1.
At the forming session resolutions
were adopted requesting the railroad
executives to readjust salaries and
wages as provided in the Atterbury
plan. 1t was pointed out that any ac-
ton taken in this conference must
be referred back to the regional as
sociations for approval.
Another point stressed was that the
readjS Sstment-of-wages plan carried
no suggestion OF a strike OF the AZ, 900
members of the association. The re-
quest, officers said, was intended as
basis on which the railroad execu-
tives and the Executive Committee of
the employees could get together.
The conference is being conducted
under the auspices of A. NJ. Parker,
superintendent of the Philadelphia
Terminal Division of the PennsyI-
vania System.

MRS. G|BSON'S STORY.
|OF MURDER CL|NCHED
Continued from page 1.

Today, II appears clear that Mrs.
Gibson will come out first in this duel
and that her story will not only go to
the Grand Jury virtually unchal-
lenged but will figure as tho principal
evidence at the trial. IL there Is triad.
The wagon that Mrs. Gibson says
she followed on the night OF the muir
der down DE Russyis lane and saw
disappear along Easton avenue in the
direction OF New Brunswick apparent
ly has been found and the name OF the
| owner will probably be made known
at once.
The wagon was found in Easton
avenue. not far from DE Russy's lane.
| The owner denied that he had been in
| the neighborhood of the lane on the
night OF the murdep.
The wagon is an old ramshackle af-
| fair that creaks and rattles as It moves.
In this it exactly fits the description
given by Mrs. Gibson in her first ac-
counts OF her ride on the mule down
the lane in pursuit OF the wagon. driv-
en-, she believed, by a man who had
been stealing corn from her place. She
said she traced the wagon by the noise
! IL made and gave up the chase when
| the vehicle turned at Easton avenue
howard this city.
This may help verify another Inn
portant point in the Gibson tale. OH
cials say that they have evidence that
| the man>who owns the wagon was ac-
tually in De Russy's lane on the night
of the murder. They refuse to say
what this evidence is or who owns ths
wagon.
Mason. without knowing anything oi
the wagon, admitted that the prosecu-
ton has two witnesses Of Importance
who have not figured in anyway in th'
stories of the investigation to date.
These two witnesses will. il is be
lieved. corroborate parts OF Mrs. Glib
sons story. One of them may he th'
woman who has been mentioned as {
second eyewitness, but whose identity
was never disclosed. At any rate prac
tically the whole OF the case agains

these two and n partial identification

VETS TO OPEN FIGHT
FOR WINE AND BEER
At EXTRA SESSION
Leaders in Washington Plan to
Label Friends and Foes OF
Prohibition.
WANT DEMOCRATS TO AID
New York Herald, today.

New York Herald, to-day.
Washington, Nov. l7.-Wet leaders
from many sections of the country are in
Washington planning a militant cam
paign for light wine and beer. Contrary
to expectations, they intend to 20 before
the present Congress at the session be-
ginning Monday and demand modih-
cation of the Volstead act. This Con-
gress is dry, but the vets have de-
termined to find their friends and to
mark their opponents for slaughter at
the next election.
On the premise that efforts to OBJ
tain modification from this or the next
Republican Congress may fall, the vets
have brought out what they believe
TO be sure fire plan of capturing the
electorate in 1924 with wet Presidential
nominee running on the Democratic
ticket. 1t provides:
First--A continuous and militant
chmpaign, which will keep the prohibi-
ton issue before the people.
| Second-The winning of Democratic
leaders to the cause of light wines and
beer
Third-Recognized wet leadership
of the party and platform plank calling
for reasonable modification of the Vol
stead act.
With this line up the vets hope fol-
vNtory. They have analyzed the prob.
able result and are sending a chart
through the country with which to en-
ticc Democratic leaders. 1t indicates
that wet Democratic party, by cap
turing pivotal and populous Northern
States and holding the solid South
would ride to sure victory. The chart
predicts the result as follows:
Electoral college, 53l votes.
Majority, 265.
southern States-Alabams -; Ar
kansas, 0; Florida, 6; Georgia, Ia
kentucky, 13; Louisiana, 10; Mississippi
