president of Chicago & Alton js Says Railroads Cannot Pay the Engineers What ,They Are Asking For.

(rules of service CHANGE IS DENIED Arbitration Board Hearing ' the Case Gives Attention , to the Railroad s Side of the Case. (National News Association) NEW YORK, July 22. With a full presentation of the engineers' deimands for salary Increase made, the railroads presented their case today before the arbitration committee, J which will decide whether the eastern i railroads shall raise the pay of their engineers approximately $7,500,000 annually. The demands which the 30,000 engineers have made are as follows: First, the adoption of the principle jthat wages and rules of service shall (be standardized throughout the eastern territory. Second, the adoption of certain standard rates of pay and certain standard rules of service resulting in increased compensation to engineers, i Third, the adoption of the principle 'that locomotive engineers shall have 'the right to operate the motive power jWhen it is changed from steam to electricity or other motive power, and that electric service shall be governed ,'by the rate of pay and rules of service in steam service. , Fourth, that railroad engineers shall have the right to operate electric and .multiple unit trains when the same ; enter upon steam tracks, or tracks formerly operated by steam or where i trackage rights are leased to holding i companies. . The railroads In their arguments re-fused these demands'on the ground that the existing rate of pay is full I and liberal and that present rules of service bear 'some relation to local conditions that standardization of either rate of pay on rules of service are not justified by conditions and jthat electric service is not entitled to 'be paid on a steam basis. President Worthingtoh of the Chicago & Alton? declared that the railroads of the country 'will be utterly unable with their present facilities to ;cope with a traffic increase similar to ,'that experienced in 1907. WAKEFIELD A CITY BE A UTY EXPERT NOW J George F. Wakefield, formerly of this city, but now of San Jose, California, recently read before the Chamber :of Commerce of the latter town, a pamper on ,,Tir the beautification of San Jose," -h was "featured," taking almoe; .ntire page, by the San Jose iljaily Mercury. Mr. Wakefield's paper was of pracjtlcal value as well as of literary quallity, his text being, "the elimination of ievery artificial feature possible," and jthe cultivation of the civic landscape ton natural lines. Mr. Wakefield's remarks concerning the reason for San Jose's lack of comprehension of civic possibilities were iof such general application that they (pre quoted herewith: "In my opinion the main reason why fwe have not, nor can we expect to a want of knowledge of some of the underlying principles of landscape architecture and engineering, and the fault of which lies in the proper edu'catlon of the young In our schools on jthis subject. i "Here in California where Nature Is so profuse in her gifts and where we can accomplish so much with so little. this study should be a major one. Botany and gardening are generally taught, but without a knowledge of landscape architecture we can only get haphazard results." rTRIP OF ADVENTURE WAS RUDELY ENDED : The lure of the "wild and wooley jtrest" claimed two more victims this morning when Edward Underhill and .'Lawrence Winters, two west side lads jaged about 16 were each fined $1 and costs for jumping on north bound freight trains at North Sixth and Bridge avenue. The boys were arrested by Officer Vogelsong who had received numerous complaints about I boys catching freight trains and ridilng north of the city. These two boys jhad decided to see the west. They 'both went to jail. t. 'Miss Stenographer Business firms are using the Want Ads daily in their search for efficient young women and office helpers.

SELECT BEVER1DGE FOR PARTY LEADER Ex-senator Will Be Progressive Candidate for Governorin Indiana. BY. CARL MOTE. INDIANAPOLIS, July 22. Former Senator Albert J. Beveridge in all probability will be, the Progressive candidate for governor of Indiana. The former senator has been in the Maine woods for several weeks, but it is expected' he 'will make an Important announcement before the state Progressive convention is held indicating his present attitude in regard to the new party and whether he will accept the Progressive nomination for governor. Friends of Beveridge reason that he cannot fail to note the tremendous growth of the Progressive movement all over the country and to conclude that the Progressive party was born to live. They recall his memorable words on the occasion of his speech in this city just before the last Repub lican state convention, "first last and all the time I am for Theodore Roosevelt." In view of the emphatic expression at that time intimate friends do not doubt where he will stand in the pres ent campaign. The Republican party Is In a desperate condition. The only avowed candidates for governor are Mayor Lew Shank of Indianapolis and Charles Carlisle of South Bend. There is not a single candidate for any one of the other state offices. It is understood that the Republican candidates for state offices two years ago will not accept places on the state ticket again. Progressive county chairmen have been appointed in every county in the state, according to State Chairman Lee. Everything has been made ready for the Progressive state convention, to be held one week from Tuesday, and present indications point to a large crowd when the first state meeting of the new party is held. It is believed there will be much rivalry for various places on the ticket.

SIXTEEN INVOLVED IN GOTHAM CRIME Investigation into the Police Scandal Proceeded Under Full Headway Today; (National News Association) ' NEW TIRK, July 22. With six men already under arrest for complicity in the assassination of gambler Herman Rosenthal there was no let up today in the investigation under way to bring out the full details of the crime, and its -sensational entanglements. From Driver Shapiro of the "murder automobile" it was learned today that at least sixteen persons were involved in the disposal of Rosenthal. The duty of a majority of these was to guard and protect the getaway and interfere with any chase that might follow the crime. Only four persons were in the automobile with. Shapiro when he stopped at the Metropole : where he thought the party intended to get drinks. It was also learned that the disposal of Rosenthal was first planned during a boat excursion and the details finally decided upon at , an uptown gambling house. . DOCTOR HALDEMAN MAKES STATEMENT That the father of the five-weeks-old baby of Miss Rachel Haldeman, which was placed on the door steps of the residence of Mayor Zimmerman early last Monday morning by the mother, Mrs. Haldeman, wife of Dr. Haldeman, living near New Paris, is not a negro, as Mrs. Haldeman alleged, is the belief of Dr. Haldeman. Dr. Haldeman declares that the father of the babe is a white man and that his wife is attempting to shield the real father by saying that their daughter was seduced by a negro. Mrs. Haldeman, her daughter, Rachel and her son are still in Cincinnati, being cared for by the Ohio Humane society until they can procure employment. COURT IS CLOSED There will be no court held this week by Judge Fox, in the Wayne Circuit court. The judge, .with John Markley and Will Kelly are spending the week at James Lake,

Police Investigating Death of Bridge Avenue Man Who Was Run Down by C. & O. Freight Train.

ENGINEER DID NOT SEE TRAIN VICTIM And Body Was Found Below the Place Where Carrol Was Struck. Suicide, Accident or Murder. Bert Carrol, 45, living on Bridge avenue, was killed SsGUfdky nght, when fast C. & O. freight train No. 73, south of the trestle near the city jail, struck him, severing his right arm, cinching his skull and bruising his face. The man died about three o'clock Sunday morning at the hospital. Whether Carrol's death was accidental, whether he committed suicide or whether he was pushed in front of the train Is a problem the police are working on. Carrol was struck at 10:45, and was found at 11 o'clock. Near him on the ground were two soft felt hats. A man was seen in his company shortly before the fatal accident. Carrol was found by Frank Rider, Bert Teddings and Fred Smlthmeyer. He was lying in a pool of blood, his head crushed and his right arm hanging by shreds of garment and skin. He was conscious, but could not explain the manner in which he received his injuries. He was taken to the hospital at once, and expired there at 3 o'clock. Some Odd Circumstances. Carrol was known to have started to visit the city jail on South Second street. His reasons for using the railroad tracks are unknown. He was struck by a northbound train, yet the place where he received his injuries is north of where his body was found. This leads the police to suspect some complications in the strange case. Corroboration of the theory of murder or suicide is found in the statement of engineer John Sullivan, whose train 6truck Carrol. Sullivan states he did not see the man, although he is usually especially attentive to the condition of the track where the man was killed, because of a switch near this point. Sullivan says he did not see Carrol or any one else near the track when he ran by with his train. The police are searching for the stranger seen with Carrol Saturday night. The description given is very meager and the police are searching every clue which might lead to the disclosure of the identity of the stranger. Although Carrol was conscious after the mishap, he could not explain how he came to be on the track or how he received his injuries. The two felt hats ' secured after the accident were taken in charge and placed in the ambulance, but one of them is now missing, and a promising clue is lost to the police. In Carrol's pockets were found bottles of whiskey, but the attending physician stated the man had not partaken of the intoxicants. If he had been on the train, and had fallen between the rails, the fall would have broken the bottles. If he had been struck by the engine, he would have been seen by the engineer and blood spots would have been left on the pilot. The man must have either jumped before or fallen between the swiftly moving cars as they rushed by him, or been shoved under them, the police state. Carrol is survived by a wife and two children. The funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock, from 407 Main street. The burial will be at Earlham. KILLS AJONSTABLE Switchman's Daughter Gives 'Him a Gun.

(National News Association) SPRINGFIELD. Ill, July 22. In reply to the Progressive party committee of five who came from Chicago to Springfield today to sound Governor Deneen and other state officers as to how they will stand in the national campaign, the governor said he would support the Republican ticket. "It is plain," he said, "that there is only one course that I can pursue. Having sought the support of the Republicans and having been chosen their candidate for governor, no opportunity is afforded Republican electors to change their minds. I am legally the Republican nominee for governor and am morally bound by obligation to that position." All otB candidates for state offices gave the committee similar replies, with the exception of Lieutenant Governor Oglesby, who has not yet given his answer.

TO HAVE STATE TICKET. CHICAGO. July 22. There will be a third party state ticket in Illinois. This was virtually asserted by Senator Joseph M. Dixon, campaign manager for Roosevelt, today, when he said such a ticket would be put in nomination if Governor Deneen refused to pledge his support to Roosevelt. Medill McCormick in a statement issued today declared there would be a Progressive state ticket in Illinois. Senator Dixon at his hotel today discussed the third party movement: "A man must be a Progressive, a Republican or a Democrat," said Senator Dixon. "Colonel Roosevelt resigned his membership in the Republican party in New York. In Michigan, New York and other states the National Progressive party already is. There is no Question about it. I am surprised that there should be any question in Illinois. I Just came from Michigan, where seven hundred merchants, bankers and a few politicians came together on a two weeks' call. Seven-eighths of them were decided for a third party, not only in the state but in every county. You will be surprised when the convention opens in Chicago August 5, at the men who will he with us. Such Democrats as Joel Chandler Harris of Georgia, General Horatio Garvin of New York and John Parker of Louisiana, will be with the National Progressives." Mr. Dixon said that quite a number of names for the vice presidency' have - been mentioned, among them being several Democrats. Two of the prominent Democrats mentioned are Judge Ben Lindsay, of Denver, and John Parker, of New Orleans. CIVIC UNION HERE Committee Named to Perfect Plans of New Institution Dr. Johnson Spoke.
