A Increase in Freight Service. In local freight service, 25 cents ad- ditional to the through freight ratées was granted. This met the full re- quest of the engineers, In switching service, a minimum of $4.10 per day of 10 hours or less was granted. The engineers asked $4.50 per v of 10 hours In switching service and for belt line service. All existing rates higher minimum granted by continaed in force. A Higher Minimum Rate. xing the minimum wage in pas- rvice at $4.25 per day, a 1 imum rate is established for the roads patties to the arbitration, With the exception of a few. In awarding the minimum through freight rate of $4.76 per day, the board establishes wages for the dis- trict that measurably approach the current minimum of roads now paying the better rates. In making the rate for local freight gervice 25 cents higher than through freight service, a general increase of compensation is granted. 20 Mile Rule Favors Engineers. The effect of the 20 miles per hour basis of computing overtime in the passenger service, the rules regarding final terminal delay, and other changes in the rules of service, are all more favorable to the engineers than exist- ing rules upon many of the roads. than the the board are EFFECT ON NEW HAVEN ROAD. Increase of 10 Cents a Day in Freight and 156 Cents in Passenger Service. New Haven, Cenmn, Nov."24—The effect of the finding of the arbitratjon board upon the wages of the engigeers of the New York, New Hu\-ufu“d Hartford Railroad company,’is indi- cated py the following officiy] state~ ment today from the offices’ i the company here: “The telegraphic report pro| mentions only part of the boarq's find- board d be difficult to exaggerate | those of the parties to a | ings, and until the complete award is published it is impessible to say what the effect will be on the existing rates; but from the figures given it is evident the minimums named are be- low those being pald on some roads and a little in excess of those being ald on others, For instance, on the New Haven, the rate named in the award is 10 cents a day higher than now paid in freight and 15 cents a day higher than now pald in passenger. Coupled with the commission’s award, | however, is a change in the overtime rate and method of figuring overtime, making the overtime rate of the award less than now paid on the New Ha- ven. In switching service, the rate named in the award is the same as now paid on the New Haven. “Roughly, on the New Haven, the increase asked for by the engineers would have amounted to probably $260,000 a year, or 15 per cent. With- out attempting to make any real cal- culation of the per cenmt. of increase, if any, under the award, it is thought it will vary from 2 per cent. increase in the case of freight to possibly a little more in the case of passenger. | “The commission was made up of {high class gentlemen, well qualified and willing to study this very impor- tant and public question. The man- agement, the men, and, above all, the public, should appreciate the months of work they have been willing to take from their own occupied time and put into this public cause.” Evidence offered by the New Haven company to the arbitrators showed the pay of engineers in the employment of the company on a basis of the in- crease of about 10 per cent. granted in There were 1,312 engineers em- v the company, of whom pa. neers were receiving a ge; eral average of a little more than §135 a month: freight engineers a litlle more than $153 a month: yard engi- neers a little more than $108 a month, and work engineers a little more than $165 a month. The average for the four classes was a little more than $140 a month, or $1,680 a year. Taking the ten highe: pald engineers in each of four groups, passenger engineers received a littic more than $198 a month; through freight engineers about $195 a month; local freight engimeers about $150 a month, and yard emgineers about $131 a month, an average for the four high groups of about $167 a month, or $2,016 a year, Of the 1,312 engineers, 506 were over 45 years old and 83 over 60 years, the average years in the service of the company being a little over 20 year: an average service of engineers about 14 years.

New York, Nov. 24.—Eloquent trib- utes to James Schoolcraft Sherman were pald by President Taft in a letter and by United States Senator Elihu Root, former United States Senator C. M. Depew and others in speeches in memorial exercises held at the Repub- lican club in this city today in honor of the late vice president. President Taft spoke of Mr. Sher- man’s record as presiding officer of the national senate, his valuable public services and his admirable qualities of heart and mind, and declared him to have been “more anxious to hold the good things established by the past than to surrender them in a search for less certain benefits to be derived from radical changes in the future.” The President’'s Letter. The president’s letter, read by J. Van V. Olcott, president of the Re- publican club, was as follows: “I greatly regret that I am not to be present on Sunday, November 24th, to take part in the memorial service to the late Honorable James Schoolcraft Sherman, vice president of the United States. g “It was my geod fortune to know Mr. Sherman in such an official rela- tion as that our personal relations be- came close. He had had a very ex- tended acquaintance with the govern- ment. His long term of service in the house of representatives gave him an experience that made him a most use- ful public servant. As the head of the committee on Indian affairs, he knew more perhaps about Indian matters than any legislator of his time. It was a fleld for legislation requiring great knowledge of detail and present- ing no very satisfactory general line of policy. He was moved in it by a sincere desire to secure the welfare of wards of the nfllfi'n,\and he resisted and frequently sueeded in defeating schemes for defrauding the Indian which the low moral tone in respect to such matters which prevails in terri- tory adjacent to Indian territory too frequently prompted. { Mr. Sherman Hated Shams. “Mr. Sherman hated shams, believed in regular party organization, and w more anxlous to surrender them in a| search for less certain benefits to be derived frem radical chonges in the| future. He was a man capable of ac- | eomplishing much in legislation and in other matters by his freedom and | charm of speech and manner, and his | spirit of conciliation and compromise | He never sought a quarrel, but, like| most men of a sunny dispesition and | natural geod will toward all, he could and did develop a stubbern adherence to the principles he regarded as nec- essary to the country’s safety, quite in contrast with his ordinary manner and speech. In other words, it would be unjust te Mr. Sherman to ggest | that his sunny dispesition and his anx- | iety to make everybedy happy within the reach of his influence happy was | any indication of a lack ef strength of | character, of firmness of purpose and of clearness of decision as to what he | thought right in politics, or in any of | the problems he was called upon to| solve. Had Power of Quick Decision. “It would be difficult to mention in | public life a man more universally loved and who had closer and tenderer | friends that Mr. Sherman and, as| might be expected, his association with society at large was a X‘t'fl(‘(‘flon‘ of that’beautiful sunlight and happy atmosphere that prevailed in the more intimate relations of his family life. “He had great power of quick de- cision, as shown in his rulings in the senate as its presiding officer, and great firmness in adherence to them. He was able to make rulings against contestants in a manner best calculat- ed to keep them in good temper, and he displayed, in giving his reasons, the thoroughest knowledge of parliament- ary law and great ability in its appli- cations to new questions. Everyone Who Knew Him Lost a| Friend. | “Tveryone who knew Mr. Sherman felt that in his death he had lost a friend, and I cannot close what I have | to eay without expressing the pro- | found but sad pleasure I had in list- | ening to the tribute paid to him bv| President Stryker, which, while it commanded admiration by the propr ety, beauty and eloquence of its di tion, meved the sympathy and grief of its hearers by its simple pathos, and satisfled their estimate of Mr. Sherman | by its justice. “Sincerely yours, “WILLIAM H.

Jeweil | in the trial of the alleged dynamite conspiracy at Indianapolis, James M. Lynch of this city, president of the International Typographical union, to- night made the following statement: “The story as it comes over the wire is that a_witness named Jewell testi- fled that Hockin, one of the defendants, told Jewell that he (Hockin) overheard | a conversation between J. J. McNama- ra and myself in the lobby of an In- | dianapolis hotel in which McNamara is alleged to have asked me “Why don't | you fellows pull something oft on the coast?, that I made a reply that was | inaudible to Hockin, and that Mec- Namara then said, ‘Well, I can give you a man that has got the nerve if ou can get the money,’ and that Mc- mara and I walked away together. “This story has all the elements of | sensationalism, both by implication and imputation. But the facts are I never met McNamara in the lobby of an Indianapolis hotel, or any other | hotel; that I do not know Jewell, and to the best of my recollection.never met Hockin. “Furthermore, I never discussed Los Angeles or the coast with McNamara, elther in Indianapolis or elsewhere.” RED CROSS BALKS AT THE CHOLERA VICTIMS. Doctors Also Refuse to Attend Them Because They Are Surgeons. Constantinople, Nov. 24—Because the Red Cross volunteers have failed to take up the work of relief, the Rev. Robert Freew, a Scotch pastor in | 60 years of age, who for many years has been connected with English and American mission work in Turkey, have taken quarters in the cholera camp and will devote themselves to the care of the victims. Many of the doctors have refused to treat cholera patients, asserting that they are surgeons, not physicians. At present there s only one volunteer doctor working at the camp—Major Clyde S. Ford, medical corps, U. S. ho with the secretary of the American _embassy, Hoffman Phillips, and the Hon. Maurice Baring, an Englishman, goes to San Stefano every day for relief work.
