ENGINEERS STAND FIBM OUHBEATS Will Go Out on Strike Unless Satisfactory Compromise Is Made.

(National News Association) NEW YORK, April 23. Whether or not 25,000 steam and electrical locomotive engineers would strike, tying up fifty railroads east of the Mississippi river and north of the Ohio, was put flatly and finally up to the railroad presidents today following the government's initiative in offering to endeavor to effect mediation, by Warren S. Stone, chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The conference committee of railroad officials met today, called by its chairman, J. S. Stuart, to consider the proposition for mediation as proposed by Martin A. Knapp, presiding judge of the federal court of commerce and by Labor Commissioner Charles P. Neil. The engineers had already accepted the government's proffer, which was said to have been inspired by President Taft himself. "We have gone as far as we can in the matter," said Grand Chief Stone, "and I think our conduct in immediately accepting the government's offer to endeavor to bring about mediation will satisfy the public that we are absolutely honest In our frequently expressed desire to avoid a strike if possible. However, if the railroad officials refuse to meet us in this last opportunity to get together, we shall have no recourse but to call the men out." Committee Members. The. railroad beads, up to whom the situation was thus placed, .are the following: J. C. Stewart, chairman, vice presi-

general manager of the B. & O.; C. S. Sims, vice president and general manager of the Delaware & Hudson; A. H. Smith, vice president and general manager of the New York Central; J. J. Bernett, assistant; tq the vice president of - the New York Central lines west of Buffalo; H. J. Horn, vice president" of the N. Y., N. H. & Hartford; S. C. Long, vice president of the Pennsylvania lines east of Pittsburgh; G. L. Peck, general manager of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburgh; A. T. Dice, general manager of the Philadelphia & Reading; J. A. Shepherd, general manager of the Western Maryland; B. A. Worthington, receiver for the Wheeling & Lake Erle,(and J. A. McCrea, general manager of the Long Island Rail Road. The strike would have been in effect today but for the move made by. the federal authorities. Government intervention came in the form of two identical letters; one sent to Mr. Stone and the other to Mr. Stewart. The strike already had been determined upon, the railroads having rejected, the men's demands for an eighteen per cent wage increase. ,and. minor technical concessions when the strike order was rescinded.

MRS. MILES REFUSED

DIVORCE

CUR

Judge Suspends Testimony After Many Spicy Statements Are Made.

PROBLEMS OF CITY

(National News Association) JOPLIN, Mo., April 23. Municipal problems of great variety were discussed here today at the annual convention of the Missouri League of Municipalities. Nearly all of the principal cities of the State were represented by their mayors or other officials. The principal speakers were Mayor Llewellyn Jones of Independence, president of the State league, and John MacVicar of Des Moines, president of the National League of Municipalities.

Averring that he had heard enough of the evidence Judge Fox before noon today refused to grant a divorce to Lida.J. Miles from Benjamin Miles. Only about one-half of the witnesses subpoeaned had testified when the judge declared he had listened to enough of the evidence to justify him in refusing a decree.' The complaintant charged failure to provide and cruel and inhuman treatment. Some rather spicy testimony was presented. In all thirty persons living near Cambridge City and Milton were present to testify. The case was fought by the defendant. The plaintiff and witnesses for the complaintant testified that Miles had refused to support her and that the plaintiff was forced to make her own living and that she paid all bills for a number of years previous to their separation. The defendant declared that his wife had been unfaithful in her marriage vows. Witnesses for the defense testified that the plaintiffs reputation was bad in and around Milton and Cambridge City. A. B. Hiser, of Hiser's Station, was put on the stand by the defense and questioned by the attorney for the plaintiff as to how he knew his statement to the effect the plaintiff's reputation was bad, was correct. Hiser declared that fifteen years ago his brother-in-law ran away with MrB. Miles, and that he had seen Jack Kellan, whom Mrs. Miles stated worked

on her farm, together frequently. The testimony of other witnesses was to the same effect. The plaintiff declared that while she plowed corn, drove the wheat binder and did manual labor on the farm of John Thorp with whom she lived, in order to keep herself and her daughter, the defendant was sitting on a dry goods box in front of a Milton store, whittling wood, chewing tobacco and gossiping. Mrs. Miles asserted that her husband has done nothing for her for eight years prior to their separation, February, 1908. "And the only thing which he has bought me since we were married are one gingham bonnet and one calico dress," the plantlff continued. "He purchased the bonnet and dress a short time after we were married. I have bought my own clothes since then. I have worked in Cincinnati and Indianapolis." Mrs. Miles, who lives about one mile north of Cambridge City, declared that her husband cursed her, accused her of being intimate with other men and threatened to kill her upon more than one occasion. She declared that she was absolutely afraid to live with him, knowing that he had a quick temper and might have carried out his threats. While she was working for Tharp, who was a consumptive, she said that she lost seventy-two pounds in weight and was forced to give up working on the farm.

A GAME BANQUET

Everything is now in readiness for the annual banquet of the Wayne County Game and Fish Protective association which is to be held at the I. O. O. F. Hall, Thursday evening. A number of prominent men will deliver addresses, among them being men who are in close touch with the work being done by the Hsh and game protective associations in the state. .

STREET OILING TO BEGIN TOMORROW

William Lancaster, vho has been given the contract to oil the streets of the city when the property owners desire such improvement, will start his work in the morning by oiling North Tenth street. He has several car loads of the white road oil ready for application and has North Tenth and Ninth streets in condition for oiling. North Eleventh street. North A street. Main street, from Fourth to the river, and several other streets will be oiled as soon as Lancaster can find a team to haul the oil wagon. The work would have been started today but Lancaster could not hire a team to haul the wagon. He will have a team tomorrow and his men who are busy cleaning the streets will move onto other streets to clean them and prepare them for the application of the road oil.

CITY WILL GUARD ' AGAINST DAMAGES

To guard the city against liability in case of an accident, the board of works is planning to erect fences on several of the unprotected high banks within the city. Such a place is found on North Tenth street at the river

! where deep gullies on each side of the

roadway are unprotected. A runaway might fling a vehicle down this bank and cause loss of Ufa. The erection of a' substantial fence Is believed advisable. Another place is found at the West Fifth street crossing of the Chicago division tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad. The gully below the road on each side is about fifty feet deep and is at present unprotected.
