TO CONFER ON RAIL
WAGES TOMORROW
Committee of Eastern Man
ayers to Review State of
Negotiations.

The conference committee OF managers
city tomorrow to review the status OF
railroad wage negotiations. The COM
mittee is composed of p. L. Crowley.
vice. president of the New York Central
Lines, chairman; Elisha Lee. vice-presi-
dent of the Pennsylvania Railroad; C.
w. Galloway. vice-president OF the Balti-
more and Ohio Railway: Charles III.
Ewing, vice-president of the Phila-
delphia and Reading Railway; c. l..
Bardo, general manager OF the New
Haven Railroad: NJ. s. Corners. general
manager of the Hooking Valley Railway,
and John G. Walber, chairman of the
bureau of information OF Eastern rail-
ways.
The committee intends to determine
what procedure will be taken in meeting
representatives of train service men in
regional conferences. Every individual
railroad has completed its conferences
with its employees, but only about six
suits involving train service men have
been filed with the railway labor board.
The committee will urge all of the
fifty-five railways in the Eastern classi-
fication territory not to withhold the
submission of disputes but to file them
Immediately.
John G. Walber said yesterday there
need be no duplication of effort. The
fact that the railroads have completed
their conferences does not mean that
this next meeting is to be superfous.
Disputes as TO rules and working con-
ditions will be threshed out and more
attention paid to these than to the dis
cussion of wages. The committee wishes
to test the sincerity of the men and
hopes that it will not be necessary to
submit these disputes to the labor
board"
The leaders Of the engineers and OF
the firemen have sienified their desire
to meet the railroads representatives.
but do not wish to meet them jointly
with the conductors and tranmen. The
head of the trainmens' brotherhood has
agreed to a regional conference, but
the conductors have not been heard
from.

MARINES PUZZLE NEW YORK
Queer Uniforms on Brazilian "Leath. erneeI<s" PerpIex Experts of
 the Metropolis.

Something with which even the war didn't famIliarize the Observant Amer ican public, or at least the people of New York city, was the Brazilian ma rine. Despite all the varied types of uniforms seen about Times square and notwithstanding the fact that there were many sharks able to tell immediately just what the uniform stood for. the recent appearance of the marines of the Brazilian battle ship Minas Geraes al the New York navy yard was a setback tn many rx- perts.
 The Brazilian marine-and there are only a few of them, inasmuch as Brazil has but one large ,battleship- is dressed in a most unique uniform. It is a combination of chauffeur's leg gings. a Scotch HighIander,s bonnet with the streamers, and a blouse of red fashioned like that of a. mounted policeman, and black trousers. The summer dress used aboard the battle ship is the same style. hut in white drill cloth.
 Even the dwellerS about Sands street and Flushing avenue, who have seen the dress of every navy in rhe world, were rather trim looking, dark hued men, who rarely left the navy yard, but could be seen inside the gates. Occasionally one would walk around the yard a hit, but they were not seen out and along the streets frequently. They finally discovered that these were the 'leathernecks" of Brazii.-New York Sun. :.

BUSY STREET CORNER SAFEST
Logical Reason Way There Are Few Accidents Where the Traffic
 Is the Heaviest.

You must have lots Of; accidents here" said a friend of Traffic Com missioner Harriss the other day aa they were passing one of the most cOngested corners of the city. 'Tm not surprised either" he added as he saw a large touring car come sud denly to halt less than half a foot from a passing pedestrian.
 The commissioner shook his head. That's where you're wrong," he re- piled. Mot only are there not more but there are actually less accidents here in proportion to the amount of traffic that goes by than almost any other place in New York. If you'll think minute you'll see the reason for it, too. Where the street is more or less quiet and deserted 8 person crossing the road iS less apt to look for approaching vehicles. Where they are always passing, however, he is al- ways on the lookout. The theory works both ways. While the pedes- trian keeps & close watch on the stream of traffic, the automobile driver als0 keeps tab on the con tinous file of pedestrians in his way. On comparatively quiet street both pedestrians and cars are exceptions and accidents are bound to occur" : New York Sun.

SPANIARDS' DEBT TO MooRs
Art of TIIe-MaI<lnG Is a Legacy Which Invaders Left When They
 Were Driven Out.

The Spaniards have been fighting the MOOrs for the last 1000 years, but the MOors, during the centuries of their occupancy of the lberian peninsula as cOnquerors, developed much in the way of art and architec- ture that is most highly valued today
 To them we owe, for one small item the tiles which so beautifully adorn our bathrooms and which, utilized in various ways, contribute so much tO the artistic finish of dwellings, and other buildings. The MoOrs estab- Iished at Seville great tile factories and at the. present time that city Is a very important tile-making center In its neighbOrhOod are deposits 'of q clayey earth highly suitable for the purpose. which is ground fine sifted dampened and stamped with designs then burned with a slow fire. Colors are applied and the tiles are finally baked with high heat for twenty-fOur hours.
 Many of the designs are artistic, rep. rescnting scenes from Don Quixote bull fights, etc. Sacred paintings are reproduced in tiles for churches. In fact, thanks to their ancient enemies the Moors, the Spaniards have de. velOped art in tiles far beyond any. thing with which we are familiar.

HAS ADDED TO VOCABULARY
Gabrielle D'Annunzi0 Is Credited With { Making important Additions to
 the italian Language.

Commander Gabrielle dAnnunZiO has become a coiner Of words. Aside from having a special d'Annunzio dictionary compiled and published by some enterprising Italian publ shers to assist his leaders in knowing the meaning of words not found in the ordinary dictionaries, the premier Italian poet and adventurer lets very few weeks pass without promulgating some new addition to the Italian voc cabulary.
 The former dictator of Plume is in a quiet retreat Various pilgrimages are made to him by men who were adventurers with him in the QuarnerO enterprise. Some of them asked him for a new name for cognac. He said;
 'There is but one name for cog nae and that is arzente,' which signi- fies that it is the very force of the wine."
 He inquired how the people of Flor ence were taking his suggestion that the name of Florence be changed from the present Italian name of Firenze to FiOrenza, meaning "a city of flowers" The pilgrims stated the people of the town welcomed the idea and may adopt his proposal .

 Travers last memory of his sister was slim gray form leaning against the white pillars of the porch Her large eyes were still. troubled and her fair face very sad. ViOla's trouble was a mystery to him-she had al- ways been such gay, irresponsible creature, and now in the last i've years she had sobered into woman who went about as if her heart was in some other world
 He had racked his brain to think of some reason for her change, and when he had a chance to take brief vacation he thought of his old class mate, Jimmie Ladd. who had built studio in the heart of the Wilds and had not been seen by civilized man for several years. Old Jimmie, once a wizard among girls, would at least hazard a guess at ViOla's preoccupa- tion.
 What the deuce are you doing here?" gasped Jimmie when he gripped Travers' hand. Anything happened2 Everybody well and-happy| There was sudden sharpness in his tone,

"I have discussed the matter with a celebrated doctor of medicine (whO believes that genius is caused by mi crObes), and he ascribes intuition TO an atavistic endowment. He some what inconsistently mentions Eve and Ann Whitfield in the same sentence by way of epigram. After going to all this trouble he was quite insulted when I hnted he was trying to ex- plain the existence of something that did not exist. Yet I will bet all I have in my pockets that the dear doctor has never once in his life al lowed a female nurses intuition to tell him where to dig for an appendix.

LARGEST ELM IN AMERICA
West Virginia Conceded tO Have the Choicest Specimen, Though Others
 Are a Close Second.

Tn an attempt to locate the monarch of all American elms, the American Genetic association discovered a few years ago what is now thought to be 1he largest specimen of ulmus ameri- cana in existence. The trunk of this giant measures 3S feet in circumfer- ence. remarkable record for one small seed! It reached these cOlos- sal proportions in the soil of West Virginia.
 According to tree experts an elm almost equally large has since been found at RathbOne, Ohio. It measures 8 feet in girth and has a spread of 1G5 feet. It has five limbs as large as ordinary trees branching out from the main trunk. The age of this majestic specimen is estimated at from 300 to 700 years.
 A record quite as remarkable M accredited to ''The Great Elm" of Wethersfeld, Connecticut. This tree reached the enormous dimensions of 2S feet in girth and 100 feet in height at the estimated age of 260 years.
 The monarch Elm" of Boston, blown dcwn in 1876, was only p feet in circumference and 72 in height, while the Washington Elm" at Cam bridge, perhaps the best known of all American trees, can boast only mere IA feet of girth and Al in height.

Treasures for University.

Four important manuscript letters from the Sixteenth century have been placed in the manuscript room of the University of Chicago. Two are letters of King Henry III of France, notorious in connection with the mas sacre of St. Bartholomew, and are dated in 1574. One is a letter of his successor, King Henry " of Navarro, signed by him in 15S9. Two of these letters are on parchment and one bears the royal seal. A fourth letter in the collection is that of Cardinal de Rambouillet addressed to King Charles TX of France and dated in Rome December 2, 1870. These orig Inal letters are important documents bearing upon the religious wars in France in the Sixteenth century, and were discovered in Paris by Prof. James Westfan Thompson of the uni. versity in the course of his investiga. tions on the HuguenOts.

@ Over in canny Scotland they fish" with swimmers, that is with students wh0 are learning to swim.
 Swimming instructors have various methods for teaching their pupils, but none is more novel than that used by some of the Scotch. These instructors have rope and pulley arrangement by which the pupil is suspended at the end of the rope in the water. The instructor holds the other end of the rope and can raise or lower the pupil in the water
 In his other hand the instructor has long pole with which he prods the pupil at various times to correct the movements of the arms and legsA Should the instructor lose his grip oSa the rope what would happen to the pupil can be imagined But suppos- ing, with that pole in his hand, the instructor loses his temper?

What She Must Know.

In wOmans magazine has been sci down a list of twenty-five accom- plishments necessary before young woman can be said to be educated And this in these days If this test is accepted as a whole it Is as hard as ever to be a woman. According to this standard a woman must know how: to sew, to cook. to mend. to be gentle, to value time, to dress neatly, to keep a secret, to avoid idleness, to be self-reliant, to respect old age, to darn stockings, to make good bread, to keep a home tidy, to control her temper to make home happy, to be above gossiping, to take care of the sick. to take care of the baby, to sweep down the cobwebs, to marry a man for his worth, to read the very best of hooks, to be a helpmate tO her husband, to take plenty of active exercise, to keep clear of trashy litera. ture, to be a womanly woman under all circumstances.
