TO COME FIRST
Conference on Threatened Rail
way Strike Will Then Take
Up Grievances of Roads
Against Men.
NEW YORK, July 21. An agree
ment to arbitrate first the wage and
other demands of the trainmen and
conductors against the eastern rail
roads and then to take up the road's
grievam t s against the men is the
probabb outcome of conferences to
be held here Monday between mem
bers of tile mediation board created
by the Newlands act and representa
tives of the employes and of the roads,
according to prevalent opinion Sun
day night in quarters where the con
troversy is being closely followed.
Judge Charles L. Chambers, and
Ci. W. W. Hanger, the two members
of the board already continued by the
senate, will arrive here in the morn
ing, when the conferences will begin
at once. The business at hand will
be- to frame a stipulation acceptable to
both sides as to questions to be ar
bitrated. The employes claim that
only their demands shall be taken be
fore the mediation board. The rail
loads have presented demands for
changes in existing agreements with
their employes in matters outside the
phere of the present controversy as
subjects for arbitration.
A. 1 1. Carretson and W. C. Lee,
the heads respectively of the con
ductors and trainmen's organizations,
have declared that the men will not
agree to simultaneous arbitration of
the men's and tin roads" demands,
announcing that should the roads per
.vist in their declared intention of
pressing their grievances at this time
the strike recently authorized by
vote of the employes would be called
at short notice.
In view of the determined attitude
of the men. belief exists that the
mediators will recommend an agree
ment to take up first the men's de
mands, and after these have lnren de
cided ly the arbitral body to be se
lected, to give the railroads their day
In court, as it were, and settle thi3
dispute in a separate arbitration.

EiiLINE FOOLS
BOBBIES AGAIN
London Suffraget Leader Dis
appears While Detectives
Are Lured Away by Strange
Woman.
LONDON. July Ll. Again Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, tho sufTraget
leader, has succeeded in outwitting
the police. It was thought she had
been arrested Saturday night, but it
was another woman, impersonating
Mrs-. Pankhurst. whom the police
captured in a taxieab and took part
way to Scotland Yard. Then they
discovered the mistake and liberated
their prisoner.
At first the whole affair was con
sidered a hoax, but it developed into
an apparently well laid scheme
whereby Mrs. Pankhurst could escape
while her impersonator was luring
away the police. It is believed she
got away safely during the melee.
Late Saturday night a woman
emerged from the militant suffraget
leader's Hat. She walked feebly and
was assisted by two friends to a tax
ieab. The detectives guarding the
building instantly concluded that Mrs.
Pankhurst was attempting to llee.
They Jumped into the cab and ordered
the driver to proceed to Scotland
Yard. Before they reached their
destination they lifted the veil and
discovered that their prisoner was an
unknown woman.
.Mrs. Pankhurst's Hat is in a narrow
dimly lighted street. A cab stopped
in frotit of the building shortly before
midnight. The three detectives on
duty observed two women alight and
proceed to the second Moor, to the
Pankhurst apartments. Their suspi
cions kindled, they blew their whis
tle for reinforcements, and awaited
developments.
Simultaneously 50 men and women.
Including a number of stout navvies,
gathered at the entrance. A veiled
woman, leaning heavily on her sup
porters, descended the steps. Imme
diately there was a clash between
the police and militants. Two de
tect'', ts clung to the cab as it round
ed the corner. The lights in the
Pankhurst windows continue-d to glow
and within half an hour the detectives
reappeared and resumed their invest
ment of the premises.
Meanwhile, however, the Hat was
unguarded, and later it began to
dawn on the police that probably
they had been hoodwinked.

TOKIO. July 21. Tho probable

to Japan, is subject of general com

is the opinion of Japanese diplomats.
Some believe that Pres. liuerta is
taking this means to exile Diaz, his
rival for the presidency, while others
predict that Diaz is coming to nego

In Hankow, for example, there are

'Two or three of the municipal

Four-Club League Lasts for
Week Only Erie to N. Y.
State League Next?
It now appears that the Central
league was and is the strongest of the
two circuits that resulted from the
split in Dr. Carson's dozein-club ring
of last year. The Interstate, the half
brother of the Central, is now down
and out. It is no more.
Iast Monday when lour members
of the league dropped out, it was de
cided to award the pennant to Erie
and start the season over again with a
new four-team schedule. Things are
all off now and the Sailors were also
given this rag, having finished, the
tfhort schedule with a percentage of
1.000. For the past week reports
have been coming forth from the
cities along the line that there was
no chance of the four teams, disband
ing. It now seems that the reports
were somewhat exaggerated.
Scouts from the Western leairue
were evidently expecting just this .sort
of thing for they were on hand and
immediately signed up a number of
players. Erie aione has sent seven
players to St. Joseph, while Akron
and Youngstown vill chase several of
their stars to the Federal league and
a. few will go to the Western circuit.
X. V. State League.
Now that the dope that Erie would
enter the International league has
subsided, the report comes that the
Pennsylvania city is going to grab off
a berth in the New York State league.
In fact it is said that the magnates of
that club already have their place
secureil. having taken over the Albany
franchise.
There is little doubt but that Erie
would be able to make good in the
New York circuit. The place has a
population of 100,000 or thereabouts,
and the people that live there have
the right spirit. This was clearly
shown fast year when Erie was one
of the dozen clubs in the Central.
Again this season, Erie has been
drawing crowds that some American
association clubs would feel proud of.

New Bulgarian Cabinet Brings
About Bright Prospects
Roumania Offered Important
Territorial Concessions.
LONDON, July 21. The advent of
a new Bulgarian cabinet, comprising a
coalition of the liberal groups, seems
to have brought a prospect that
peace negotiations will soon be en
tered into. After vain attempts fo
negotiate separately with Koumania,
theNPulgarian government accepted
the advice of Austria and Russia and
offered Roumania an important terri
torial concession. Bulgaria also sent
delegates to meet the Servian and
Creek, and presumably Roumanian
representatives at Nish to negotiate
an armistice and peace.
It is continued from Athens that
Servia, Greece and Montenegro are
ready to participate in these negotia
tions. Turkey, however, has Intro
duced a new complication and has
notified the European powers of her
intention to make the Maritza river
the new frontier, giving as her rea
sons that she has always claimed this
frontier, but that the powers set the
claim aside in order to facilitate and
expedite peace; that the Porte would
be prepared to settle the question by
diplomatic means but that the atroc
ities and vandalism of the Bulgarians
in the occupied territories make it
impossible to hope for a diplomatic
settlement, and that new conditions
arising from the last war between the
allies make it doubly necessary for
Turkey to obtain a frontier guaran
teeing safety to Constantinople and
the Dardanelles.

BALKAN PEACE
'LOOMS' IN SIGHT
WASHINGTON, July 21. Republi
can senators have, served notice upon
their democratic opponents that there
is to be no unnecessary delay of the
Underwood-Simmons tariff revision
bill. While the sharp tongue of re
publican criticism and diro prediction
is to be loosed throughout the tariff
debate, the republicans do not plan
to adopt any general filibustering tac
tics, or to attempt to hold up ilnal
action on the tariff revision.
The policy has been partially out
lined in the opening speech of the re
publican opponents of the administra
tion bill, in coIIoquoj-s on the floor of
the senate, and in private conferences
among senators. Within the next few-
days a series of vigorous attacks are
to be made on the general principles
of tho Underwool-Simmons bill, fol
lowing out the lines of the speech by
Sen. Cummins, Saturday. Sen. Bur
ton's address Monday will be the first
of these general speeches by regular
renuhlicans.
Tho general denunciations will be
followed by concerted attacks on cer
tain schedules, where tne republicans
insist that the new measure will mean
ruin to American industries. The
democrats are prepared to meet all of
the republican arguments and will
keep up the lire of debate until the
senate is ready to take the bill up
section by section for amendment.
When that time arrives, it is un
derstood to be the purpose of the re
publicans to make their final fight for
amendment of the bill, hoping they
can break up tho democratic ranks.
particularly on the sugar and wool
schedules. If their efforts fail, as
democratic leader insist they will, it
is the present understanding that the
republicans will not interpose any
linal opposition to vote on the bill.
Democratic leaders were more
hopeful Sunday with the opening of
the debate out of The. way, that con
gress could push the tariff revision to
an early enactment. The friends and
enemies of the bill have been prim
ing for the fight for some time and it
is believed the speeches will lollow
in rapid succession. Senators Sim
mons and Kern and other democrats
who are directing the tariff program,
are hopeful that the senate can com
plete. work on th bill-late in August
and that but little time will then be
consumed In adjusting the differences
between the two houses.
Efforts by the house committee on
banking and currency to perfect the
administration currency bill have
found no echo of interest in the sen
ate. While the house committee has
been making slw progress in its con
sideration of the measure, the' senate
has refused to take up the currency
question, either in committee or on
the floor. Democratic senators are
not now prepared to say that that
body will consent to work out the
currency problem at the present ses
sion. Even the lobby investigation, which
even occupied tho center of interest
a week ago, has lost much of its life
during the week . The senate com
mittee had not finished a third of the
Mulhall letters when it recessed Fri
day, and the newly appointed house
investigators are privately wading
through the mass of correspondence,
trying to find a place to begin.
Martin M. Mulhall will take up his
story before the senate committee
again Monday, resuming the identifi
cation of letters. Chairman Overman
said Sunday thiit the committee
would not put on other witnesses or
break the routine of the identification
of correspondence until Mulhall has
completed the ground work of his
claim that he for years was the "lob
byist" and active political worker for
the National Association of Manufac
turers in an effort to influence elec
tions and national legislation.

NEW YORK. July 21. Thero is
one man in New York Monday who is
probably convinced that surprising a
"friend of the family" by embracing
her right before hundreds of Sunday
bathers at Manhattan beach, and
planting a kiss squarely upon her lips
is a poor form of amusement.
The young man, clad in flannel?,
embraced a fair bather as she came
from the water Sunday. The young
woman screamed and slapped him.
Immediately more than a hundred
other bathers surrounded the yong
man. picked him up. flannels and all,
and cast him into the surf.
Life guards picked up the man and
he disappeared in a taxieab. Before
leaving he declared that a serious mis
take had been made, tis the young
woman he kissed was "a family
friend". He said he was trying to
surpise her.

Full cf Remedial ObjectionO
XEW YORK. July 21. The Little
Red School house is to occupy a place
of honor on the program of the fourth
international congress on school hy
giene, according to a statement issued
by the program committee, which is
composed of Drs. Robert W. Iovett
and David L. Edsall of Harvard. Dr.
Luther H. Gulick of New York, and
Dr. Thomas A. Storey of the College
of the City of Xrt York, secretary
general of the congress.
"The problems of the city schools
have received a great deal of much
deserved attention," sa-' the members
of the committee in their announce
ment of the program. "The very
serious problems of the village
school and of the rural sctiool have
received but little attention. The study
and the solution of these problems
are of obvious complexity ami import
ance. The committee is therefore
anxious to secure papers relating to
rural school hygiene and village
school hygiene as well as to city
school hygiene."
In a report issued at Washington.
United Suites Commissioner of Edu
cation Philander P. Claxton calls at
tention to the subject of the Little
Red School In the following terms:
."Until very recently few careful
studies of the rural schools have been
made, and we yet have little accurate
information about them and little
knowledge of the factors entering
into the problem of their improve
ment. We do know in a general way
that their terms 'are short, their sup
port inadequate, their teachers poor
ly prepared, their attendance irregu
lar, their management unscientiiic
and wasteful of money, time, and en
ergy, their courses of study ill
adapted to their needs and the houses
in which the children are taught
cheap and poorlv equipped and fur
nished. That this is not true of all
rural schools goes without saying, but
it is unfortunatelv true in a large
measure of most of them."
212,000 Swell Schools.
In all there are some 212,000 one
teacher little red school houses in the
United States alone, according to the
Washington report prepared by A. C.
Monanan. in tnis repon mere is a
picture of a one teacher rural school
house which is characterized as "a
fair type of about one-half of the
212,000 one teacher rural schools."
Most of the original red parnt seems
to have been washed off of these
schools.
"A general impression has been
created," says Mr. Monahan. 'that
there exists an American school sys
tem which is sufficient and nation
wide, with equal educational opportu
nities in all parts of the country.
The impression is erroneous. It is
probably true that the public schools,
both urban and rural, have made
considerable progress, but the mark
ed progress has been confined almost
wholly to the city and town. The
majority of rural schools are housed
in uncomfortable buildings, unsuit
able from every standpoint, without
proper furniture or facilities for heat
ing, ventilating and lighting; without
adequate provisions for guarding the
health and morals of the-children and
with comparatively little equipment
for teaching.

KNox. Ind.. July 21. After firing
a bullet from tne barrel of a :';S-cali-
ber revolver througn the head of hH
stepmother. Mrs. Frank Straburger.
young Martin Strasburuer turned the
; weapon toward his own head and
pulled the trigger which brought on
his death two hours later, at the
beautiful summer Stra.burger resi
lience situated on Bass lake, six mile
from Knox, at 7::ir o'clock Sunday
even in g.
The lad died two hours after the
shooting, while his step-mother lies
at the point of death. The bullet en
tered her head bark of the right ear
and passed out the other side below
the left eye. passing nearly through
the center of her head.
Cause: a Mystery.
No reason can be learned as to th
cause of the shooting. It is believed
that the shot was fired at Mrs. Stras
hurger while "her ba- k was turned
the bullet entered her head from he
hind. As soon as the hot was heard
by Mr. Strasburger. who was in a
garcb n near the side of the house, th
woman was heard to scream and a
minute later she was seen rushing out
of the house, and running to her hus
band she fell in hLs arms.
Medical aid was summoned from
Knox, which is located six miles from
the xartre summer home, which i-
probably the largest ami most ex
pensive on the lake, but the doctor's
services were in vain, and the boy
died while the father paced the room
with his wife lying at a critical point
in her bed near him.
Frank Strasburger. tho father and
husband of the two who hgured in the
tragedy, is a big Chicago manufac
turer and his son has for some time
been at work in a house in the large,
metropolitan city. According to a re
port given out young Martin has been
living a fast life in Chicago, being a
cigaret fiend and having indulged in
liquor to a great extent.
He had been drinking before tlu
shooting, r.lthough it is not known
that any quarrel took place directly
before the shooting or at any time
before it. Neighbors always under
stood that he held a tender regard
for his step-mother, who, they say.
always treated him as her own child.
Drink May llo Reason.
Drink and perhaps a demented
mind are attributed as the reasons for
the rash act. The boy had been at
the Gun club during the afternoon
and on his return it is believed that
he entered bis room, sernre.l hi ii-
tol ;tn.i came to the lower floor where
1f. shot hi st.-n-moOo-r thmn ti,

Several times the hoy has been
threatened with delirium tremens and
it is believed that at the time the
shooting took plaee the boy had be-n
drinking heavily and had io.-t his.
reason.
The father and husband stands by
the bedside, or paces
up arid down
