They also asserted that the strikers will return to work with their senlority rights unimpaired, it they return at head of the shop all. B. M.

H Timothy Healy, president of the Firemen and Oilers’ Union, which also is on strike, told newspaper men that he expected Tuesday's meetings to result in a settlement. Asked concerning the stage peace megotiations had reached, Mr. Healy said that “the case is in the hands of the President.” He refused to be quoted to the effect that a settle- ment of the issues between the rail- roads and the strikers had been ten- tatively agreed upon between Mr. Jewell and T.

District officials realize, however, that to postpone indefinitely the needs of the community for serviceable streets and lights to make them safe will tend only to multiply those needs.

SAGUA LA GRANDE, July 29 (By |telephone to Havana).—Eugene Jova, |acting American consular agent, es- caped yesterday from: the bandits who captured him Thursday morn- ing, but was seriously wounded in his break for liberty. Jova, son of the American consular lagent here, John Jova, was found this morning suffering from five dag- ger wounds in a ranch house between Quemado de Guiness and Sagua, but was able to give the authorities in- formation that is expected to lead to the capture of his abductors, who demanded $20,000 ransom. this noon upon being questioned In the hospital here, to whick he was carried for treatment, he was accost- ed Thursday morning while proceed- ing from Quemado de Guiness to |Sagua by & man who asked him for a ride. While they were talking three others appeared and ordered him to leave his machine. Jova could identify none of the men, who bound him 1 region between Quemado and Sagua, toward the Mogote Caves. He was watched closely all Thursday night, Sagua for $20,000 ransom. Early Friday morning the four bandits kicked him to his feet and started to move their camp farther into the hills, fearing the rural. guards were on their trail Jova managed to loosen his bonds during the march and seized a large stone with which he felled the bandit | tives of the company from the south- who preceded him. The other three then attacked him with daggers, and, ; after stabhing him five times, once in the right lung, left him for dead and fled into the hills with their badly wounded comrade. Upon recovering, Jova bandaged his wounds with strips torn from his shirt and staggered or crawled sev- eral miles to the hut where he was found this morning, when the Sagua police wers notified by the owner of the arrival of his supposedly dying guest.

The discussion was opened by Sena- tor Caraway, democrat, Arkansas, who offered a resolution proposing an ifi- vestigation by the judiciary commit- tee. with a report to the Senate within ten day Mr. Caraway asked for unanimous consent for immediate consideration of the measure, but Senator Wadsworth, republican, New York, objected not only to that, but to the introduction of the resolution. Thus, under the rules, the measure did not come officially before the Sen- ate. Democratic leaders said privately that the resolution would be pressed later, while Senator Gooding of Idaho, chairman of the repiblican agricultu- ral tariff bloc and a champion of the wool duty, declared to the Senate that he would insist upon an Investi- ation, which he charged had been proposed by the democrats for “polifi- cal purpose: Declares Comsclence Clear.

In opening the discussion, Senator Caraway told the Senate he was not impugning the motives of senators nor saying that the charges that had been made in the newspapers and the Senate were true; that what he sought was an investigation of the matter. His resolution, which was read to the Senate, set forth that these charges were “hurtful to the honor of those senators and to tbat of the state itself.” B The resolution would not confine the inquiry to the pending bill, but would include also the smergency tarift bill enacted more than a year ago. The judiclary committee would be instructed specifically to ascertdin: “First, whether any senator is or has been financially or professionaily | interested in the production, manu- facture or sale of any article or articles mentioned in either of tariff bills, and if so, to what extent. “Second, whether any senator rep+ resents or is connected professionslly or otherwise directly or indirectly with any person, firm, assoclation pr organization engaged in the manu- facture, production or sale of any of said articles, or has been so inter- ted during the pendency of this biil, or the emergency tariff bill.” —_— WHITE HIS BEST FRIEND, ALLEN ASSERTS, BUT HE", “ENTERED CONSPIRACY™ ling & man from violence at the hands of a mob, and he desires me t> ex- tend to you his thanks as an Ameri- can citizen and a native of Virgnia for your service in the matter.
