The fact that the calling of more trcops was under serious consideration tonight by both civil and military of- firials was taken as an indication that a peaceful sett lement was still a re- mote possibility. With over 300 miles of street car tracks to patrol, the 2,000 men now here under command of Brigadier General Samuel M. Welch had to be spread out too thin to make #n effective policing force.

No concluslon is made as to Judge's part in the alleged incident, the evidence having been ziven to the state’s attorney, and the report adding that ‘“final jurisdiction does not rest with the senafe.” As to Hurley’s testimony, the report declares it to have been “seriously inaccurate an unreliable in its most important essentials.” The report exonerates Warren Broth- ers’ company of Boston, for whom Judge is a salesman, and former Com- missioner MacDonald from having any knowledge of the incident. Senator Hurley had openly declared that twice Judge offered him $300 to be out of the senate when a vote was to be taken for highway commissioner. Once, according to Hurley, Judge held up three fingers as the size of the offer, and whispered in his ear “and expenses.” Judge declined to appear before the investigating committes, but in a let- ter denied everything that Hurley al- leged.

ADMIRAL EATON LEFT ESTATE TO HIS wibow but $600 Bequeathed to Woman Now Accused of Murder. All Plymouth, Mass., April 9.—In a will signed_at Brookline on November 30, 1906, Rear Admiral Joseph G. Faton gave all but $600 of his estate to his widow, who 18 now in jail here await- ing trial on the charge that she mur- dered her husband by putting arsenic in his food. The admiral's oft-expressed fond- ness for Dorothy Ainsworth, the younger of his two step-daughters, was further indicated by a provision in the will that she was to be tie principal beneficiary in the event that the testator survived his wif Peculiar interest attaches to the doc- ument which was offered for probate today because it will figure, it 13 ex- pected, In the trial of Mrs. Faton. The latter is named as executrix with- out bonds. The value of the estate which 1s supposed to conslst mainly of the heme and farm at Nerwell, and life insurance policies, 18 not siated. Joseph Parker Varnum, & nephew, is siven $600, one-half of which is to be used for the erection of stones at the graves of the admiral and his fir wife at Dracut and for the perpetual care of the lot. The rest of the estate goes to the widow without cenditions. IHad Mrs. Eaton died before her hus- band, her el 2 marriage, Mrs. June Keyes, would have rec d $5,000, the balance ef the es- ath of Admiral Faton there were orts that he had made a second will. Dorothy Ainsworth sald that her step- father had intimated to her that he had made her the principal beneficiary. No such will has been found. Hunting Vegetable Wonders. Hunting wild animals may be all right so far as it goes, but how much more romance and how much more value to the world there is in hunting for wild vegetables and plants which can be made use of for the benefit of iumanity. F. N. Meyer, the Govern ment agricultural explorer, has start- ec on another trip to China and Si- beria in search for new fruit novelties which can be introduced into this country. He will be gone three years and during that time will travel with his own caravan in the wildest parts of castern Asia. Whenever he hears of a remarka- ble fruit he will follow it up, and get seeds or cuttings from the tree. These will be sent to Washington for prop- agation and study. Owing to the great distance it is very difficult to make scions or cuttings preserve their vitality so they can be made to grow. One of the objects of this long journey is to procure cuttings of the famous Feit Ching peach of China. This peach grows so that it welghs as much as three pounds. On a former trip Mr. Meyer got cuttings from it. but they refused to live when grafted on American stock. Stones from the peaches have been planted but there little hope from them for peach seedlings seldom come trus to va- riety or are of much merit.—Path- finder. The Mining World.

At the time of the inquest into the | Sudden Halt in Railroad Cases GO OVER UNTIL MAY AT RE- QUEST OF THE STATE. Motion of Defendants Granted by the Court and Request for Continuance Results—Hot Legal Battle. Bridgeport, Conn., April trial of Vice President Henry J. Hor Superintendent Benjamin R. P. former Superintendent C. ward of the Shore Line di and Engineer of Maintenance Laurence J. Carmalt, officials of the New York, New Haven and ~Hartford Railroad copnpany, charged with criminatneg! gence as the result of the fatal wreck at Westport last October, came to a sudden_ halt in the criminal superior court this afternoon, when Judge Gar- diner Greene granteq the defcndants motion for separate trials. State Caught Unprepared. Although this motion wa arded as the turning point of the praiiminar: proceedings, the defense having ma most exhaustive arguments, the state was evidently unprepared for such a turn in affairs. Judge Greene’s de- cision came just before court adjourn- | ed for lunch. When court rcconven State’s Attorney’, Stiles Judson asked for a continuance until the May term as he wanted time to comsider what action he might take further. Case Continued Until May. “Do you intend to nolle the case: asked Homer S. Cummings, one of th counsel for: the defense, “I have not vet determined point,” satd Mr. Judson. After a conference between state’s attorneyv and counsel for ihc defense, over minor points at issue over the various demurrers that have been partially argued, Mr. Ct “reluctantly agreed” to continu: case and Judge Greene so ordered. e seventy-five talesmen that had heen summoned, were dismissed until fur- ther notice. Stubborn Legal Bagtle. The order for separatd trinls for each of the four defendants came af- ter a stubborn legal battle that start- | ed yesterday afterneon and continued all during the morning session. T lawyers for the defense took miny ex- ceptions to the wording of the indict- | ments that involved lengz t al discussions. State’s Attorney Judson contested every inch of the was Lawyers Not Employed by Road. Several Interesting points were brought out in the trial. One was. that the four lawyers representing the de- fense were not employed by ihie rail- road, but by the individuals. This was disclosed when State’s Atiorney Judson pointedly remarked that they “were in the employ of the road.” Each of the four lawyers, Attorneys ‘Cummings, Boardman, Nickerson and Bowers, were on their feet at once with vigorous protests. Individually they asked to have the remark strick- en from the records, and Mr. Nicke: son referred to the statement as “rep- rehensible and untrue.” Existence of Printed Rules Denied. Another interesting point was in re- ard to the dutles of the four officials. Ir. Judson charged them with “con- cealing the records” of the company when they declined to disclose tie printed rules of the road, showing specifically the duties of the defend- ants. Counsel for the defense denied that records had been concealed and also denied that such rules existed. This statement caused Mr. Judson to exclaim, “This is preposterous.” Attorney Boardman, evidently antici- pating such a move, then read a per- sonal affidavit which in effect Jeclared of no written rules existirg, expilcitly deflning the duties of the varfous offi- cers. Separate Trials Ordered. | _Mr. Judson met this afdavit iwith the remark that he would file an aff davit opposed to the one just mitted, and he added: “Mine i as good as his.” After the aff had_been flled, it was brought in the further arguments of Mr. Ju son that the duties of Messrs. orn, Pollock and Woodward were identical | in scope and differed only as to per | sonal autherity. | This was what counsel for the de- | fense had virtually contended and Mr. Cummings was quick to inform the | court to that effect. He sald “Mr. Jud- | son’s affidavit destroys the force of | his arguments.” Judge Greenc ordered that the defendants be t separately | While Mr. | that he might pi | other bench war learned tonight weuld deo so that t ont Judson declared In court ibly declde to issue nts, it could not be whether or not be Time For Friends. | _ Sometimes you hear this, “I am not sorry for him one bit; it was all his own fault.” |, If there was ever a more foolish un- just and irrational remark, 1 don't know what it is. . For a man suffering for his own tault has a double purden. He has the self-contempt for his wrongdoing add- | ed to the painful consequences of it, while the man who is suffering for the fault of some one else at least has the comfort of a clean sonsclence. The sorrow that comes from no er- ror or wrong on our part we may bear with some nobility; but when to that 1s joined the sense’ of our own blame our condition is pitiable.

Faith in Science. Sir James Dewar's demonstration of the ordeal of fire was performed years ago by lLyon Playfair upon no less a person than King Bdward, then Prince of Wales, and studying under Playfair at Edinburgh. Playfair, telling the story to Grant Duff, explained that he 1irst made the prince wash hls hands in- ammonla to get rid of any grease upon them, and then sald: “Now, sir, if you have faith in science, you will plunge your right hand inte that caul- dron &f bolling water which 1s stand- ing by,” “Are yeu serious?’ asked the Prines, “Perfeetl If veu tell me to do it, T will” “I de téll yeu,” sald Playfair, and the Prince immedi- ately ladled-out the liquid with perfect impunity—Londen Chroniele. ‘ The sardine eatch of Europe has | been & greal fallure. L~ Concessions to The Operators TELE‘P”HONE COMPANY WILL IN- CREASE WAGES. AND READJUST HOURS Proposal Is in Nature of Compromise— Full Consideration by Officials. Demands Are Promised Later Boston, April 9.—The New England Telegraph and Telephone company to- nighit offered {o the executive commit- tee of Telephone Operators’ union a proposition embracimg concessions on several points in answer to the union’s demands. This offer, which was made during a series of conferences arrang- ed by the Boston chamber of com- merce in an effort t6 avert the threat- ened strike of telephone girls, was made the basis of further conferences which continued to a late haur. Concessions by Company. first presented, the company’s ons are understood to have in- cluded_the foliowing: An increase in wages (the amount uncertain, but not equal to the de- , :h averaged $1 a week): the establishment of 81-2 hours as the maximum working day; the readjust. ment of the so-called “split trick system. and the appoimtment of a board of three operators, to hear all complaints by operators and to report to the company officials. Later Consideration of Full Demands. Much discussion followed the pres entstion of these proposals. The op- erators’ committee, it was learned, held out for entire abolition of the “split trick,” while the company offi- cials would promise only a readjust- ment of the divided working time con- ditions, saving that without such an arrangement the company would be forced to employ many additional girls. A promise of later cousideration of the ful] wage demands is understood to have been laid out. A Midnight Conference. The company officials were headed by President Spalding, With him was Jethell of New York, vice presi- dent of the Bell Telephone system, who came here today for the first time in cornection with the present dispute. Just before midnight the executiv board of the Blectrical Workers’ un- ion, which has voted to join in astrike with the girls, was called into the con- ference room. ~Union Waiters to Be Called Out. There was a new element project- cd into the situation late today, when the Waiters' union, Local 80, met and debated - whether its 750 members should serve foed to the 1,200 or 1,500 “emergency operators” whom the com- pany has brought here from other cit- ies and who are regarded by the local “hello girls” as strikbreakers. The upshot of the meeting was a decision to_call out all union waiters at hotels sheltering “strike brealcers™ in the event that the telephone opera- tors declared a strike. Other Employes Also to Strike. Meetings were held also tonight by the linemen, cable splicers and other employes of the telephone company, who have promised to-strike in sym- pathy if the operators go out.
