New Method of Arbitrating Troubles Becomes a Law. Labor Washington, July 15—New federal machinery for the adjustment of rail- road wage disputes was authorized to- @ay, when the house and senate passed and the president signed the New- lands-Clayton bill just as it was agreed upo nyesterday at the White House conterence between President Wilson, congressional leaders and representa- tives of the big Eastern railways and thetr empioyes. This law creates the board of media- tion and conciliation, headed by a mit the wage dispute on account of which 80,000 conductors and trainmen have voted to strike. The union of- ficers agreed to an armistice until to- morrow afternoon, pending action by congress and officials here expect them now to make ready to lay their case before the federal mediators as soon as President Wilson makes the appointments. The new law went through both houses of congress without an ob- stacle being put in its way. Late in the afternoon it reached the White House and soon afterwards this state- ment was fssued: “The president signed the Newlands act as soon as it reached the White House this evening and announced through his secretary, Mr. Tumulty, that he would proceed as soon as pos- sible, consistent with the importance of the appointments, 1o the selection of the commissioners of mediation as provided in the act’ Seth Low, president of the National Civic Federation who was instrumental in bringing the railroads and their em- ployes together in the present dispute, is prominently mentioned for the po- sition of commissioner of mediation and conciliation. As the other two members of the board are to be govern- ment officials, it was regarded as prob- able that Judge Martin W. Knapp of the commerce court and an assistant to one of the cabinet officers, possibly an assistant attorney-general ,would be considered. PREPARING FOR STRIKE. Threat to Tie Up Erie’s Eastern Lines Within Three Days. Columbus, Ohio, July 15—"If the railroads do not accede to our de- mands, or make an equitable settle- ment, the strike will be called for to- morrow night about six o'clock or at the latest six o'clock Thursday mern- ing,” was~the declaration made to a mass meeting of railroaders here to- night by S R. White, representative of the Brotherhood of Railroad Train- men of the Cincinnati division of the Pennsylvania_railroad, who attendcd the recent New York conferences. White denied reports that an ami- cable agreement has been reached be- tween the trainmen and eastern faii- roads and advised every railroad em- ploye in this district who is inter- ested in the “Rochester wage demand’ proposition to, prepare for an immed- iate strike. The speaker declared that the Erie railroad would be the object of the first attack due to that road’s refnsal | to_enter into arbitration negotiations: “Within three days,” he said, “I don’t believe there will be a wheel turning on the Erle's eastern lines.” C. Ledy, representative of the Broth. erhood of Railway Trainmen and local chairman for workers on t} Baltimore and Ohio, bdvised the readers that the strike call | come from eastern headquarters |cipher and would be distributed | promptly. He asked the trainmen to accompany thelr trains to a terminal after receiving the order that the rail- roads be deprived of any grounds of future charges of unfair treatment by individuals.

Yew London, July 15.—. The design of the buildings of the Connecticut_College for Women to be erected at New London will follow the Tudor style, otherwise known as the collegiate Gothic. The buildings at the English universities of Cambridge and Oxford are designed in this style, as is also the Vanderbilt dormitory at Yal The new buildings which are to be erect ed on the recently purchased Hill- house property at Yale will also follow this style of architecture. Commo- dore Morton F. Plant's mansion at Eastern Point is also erected in simi- jar_style. Ewing & Chappell of New York, who will be the architects of the col- lege buildings, are both graduates of L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris. They will at once bring a part of their of- fice force to New London and work on the plans for the first of the colloge buildings will be rushed with all pos- sible speed. As soon as possible after the com- pletion of the plans the contract for the erection of the buildings will be awarded, One of the essentials in de- termining the buflder will be speed of construction, as it is desired to & ahead with the work as rapldly possible. The preliminary plans call | for a general bullding, a science department building and three dormitories. Stoue and brick are to be used in the con- struction. Prof. Colin S. Buell, who has been making a canvass of the state in an ffort to arouse interest in the work, is sald to have been suc- cessful. Professor Buell says that he was not ready at this time to make a public statement of his progress but that one might be forthcoming short- Iy. fter the conference at New Lon- don with architects and trustees of the Connecticut College for Women Chairman Morton F. Plant of the Board of trustees announced that Ew ing & Chappell of New York had been commissioned to design and plan the buildings. The junior member of the firm, George S." Chappell, is a New Londoner. Mr. Chappell is a son of the late Al- fred H. Chappell surer of the college, a generous donor and one of the most influential workers toward | the success of the college project when it was in its infancy. President Sykes of the college facul- ty will be in constant consultation with the architects in New York during the summer and the need of him there will | prevent his taking up his residence in New London before fall.

PROTEST FROM EUROPE One Power Asks What We Are Go- ing to Do About Ilt—Apparent At- tempt to Force Recognition. ‘Washington, July 15.—Administra- tion officials admitted tonight _ that the situation in Mexico and diplomatic inquiries from Europe as to what would be the attitude of this country toward its neighbor on the south were engaging their deepest attention. Secretary Bryan had a two hours conference with President Wilson to- day and while the Japanese question and departm ental appointments con- sumed much of their time, the fore- most subject before them was the Mexican problem. . Earlier in the day it had been discussed at length at the cabinet meeting. Oppose Recognition of Huerta Gov- erpment. Mr. Bryan dec ed to say what the policy of the United States govern- ment would be toward any HKuropean representations but intimated that a pronouncement on_thq situation might {be expected in a short time. It is | known that the administration official- {1y have’ been continuously opposed to the recognition of the Huerta gov- ernment until elections were held and ected that any further dge- larations to the foreign powers would ‘be along the lines of the Latin-Amer- ican statement made by President | Wilson soon after he took office. In | this he proclaimed his adminstration would seek to make a basis for in- | tercourse with Latin-American coun- [iries the principle of governments set upon ordely processes, and “not upon arbitrary or irregular force.” He also stated that American government “would prefer those who act in the interest of peace and honor, who pro- tect private rights and respect the restraints of constitutional provision.” Recognition To Be Delayed. ‘While the adminstration officials have not expressed any opinion about Aexico specially, it has been stated informally that recognition would not | ibe extended until the constitutional | machinery in Mexico had been set in | | motion again to elect a new president to succeed the provisional president now acting. It is believed that in the meantime every effort will be made | to indicate to the Mexican people that | the United States government ex- pects protection of its interests through the present government, A Hint From Europe. Alréady one of the great Buropean Powers, through its diplomatic rep- resentatives here has called the at- tention of Secretary Bryan to the chaotic conditions in Mexico and the effect upon the welfare and safety of its citizens there, with a poiite inquiry s to what the United States proposes to do about it, Whether the inquiry was part of a ooncerted movement on the part of European Powers to bring the State Department to a declaration of its purpose toward Mexico did not dovelop today. Reports frem the City of Mexico, however, would appear to warrant that conelusion. Tranquility at Guaymas. The restoration of tranquility at least within the citv of Guaymas | proper, on the Pacific Mexican coast, was indicated in a_despatch fo the navy department today from Admiral Cowles commanding the American squadron. The admiral sald the in- surgents had evacuated the city and | that the federal forces had retaken 4he | { water supply hear the city. | ENVOYS CRITICISE AMERICA.

It became known that all of them act- ing in concert, have sent to their re- | spective Governments identical notes, in which they declare that the position taken by the United States with refer- | once to Mexico was contributing to | revolutionary conditions and suggest- ing that the represenfatives at Wash- ington of the respective Iuropean countries be instructed to request rec- ognition or that the United States as- | sume responsibility for the state of | affairs here.

CAMPAIGN OF WATSON Thinks About $22,000 Was Raised For It—Congressman Reilly on “Black- list” \of the Manufacturers. Washington, July 15:—The senate investigating committee today con- tinued its ezamination into Martin M. Mulhall's ~correspondence. - Mulhall was in the witness chair and Senator Reed was the inquisitor for most of the five hours. Mulhall identified 410 letters, telegrams and memoranaa put in the record by the committee with only a bit ‘more hesitancy than he evinced before, although he was cau- tioned by Senator Reed to look close- Iy at the slips handed to him. Strike Breaking Activities. Mulhall’s attention was directed {o- day almost exclusively to the last half of the year 1907 and the first part of 1908. He was jumped from Maine to Missouri; from’ Baltimore to Indiana- polis and up to Cleveland in those few montbs. He told, or his letters did, of his strike aectivities in St. Louls of an effort to aid politically former Congressman James E. Watson of In- diana, and of how well he knew for- mer Senator severidge. He gave de- tails of another visit to Maine and of anbther effort to give political assist- ance to former Congressman Little- field of that state, He mentioned again former President Taft, the late vice President Sherman, the late James Van Cleave of the National Asso- ciation of Manufacturers: and other men prominently connected at one time or other with that organization. Alleged Bribe of Strike Leader. The witness thought about $22,000 had been raised in Indiana for the Watson campaign and a letter read just before adjournment tonight told of “three miliionalres” in the state, one of whom was willlng to spend $100,000 to defeat Watson. The letter did not identify the millionaires and the committee did not ask who they | were, During the day Mulhall told of how he broke a strike of shoe workers in St. Loui I He wrote that $3,000 had n turned over to him py F.

Crecket of Thomaston, Me., were followed closely, Senator Reed introduced a memo- randum which Mulhall said was a “blacklist” of congressmen, Aulhall thought #t had been prepared by for- mer Representative Watson, It fol- lows: Reilly On the “Blacklist”, “Watson: Here's a list for you to knoelc out: Chandler, Mississppi; Hamlin, Missouri; Danforth, New York; Payne, New York; Lever, South Carolina; Graham, Tllinois; Lobeck, Nebraska: Beall, Texas; Stephenp} John H., Texas; Bowman, C, C., Penn- Eylvania; Lioyd, Missouri; Clark, M souri; Humphreys, Mississippi; Car- ter, Oklahoma; Brantley, W, G, Hull, Tennessee; Bulkeley, Ohlo; Burges Texas; Towner, lowa; Focht, Penn vivanla; Gardner Massachusetts; Henry George, Jr., New York; Henry, R.

The annual losses in the Ohio, val- ley alone exceed $50,000,000, and the Ohio is only 967 miles long and drains but 210,000 square miles. Gifford Pinchot estimates the flood losses since 1900 at $1,000,000,000, and statisticians agree that direct flood losses within the last century exceed the total cost of all our wars (includ- ing_the Civil War). Floods in the Mississippl valle: carry out to the Gulf of Mexico every year nearly 600,000,000 tons of the Tichest goil in the whole great basin, and the irony of the loss is biting when it 18 remembered. that this vast area of alluvial Is wrenched from the producer only to obstruct navigation by depositing bars or shallowing channels, and that this same pro- ducer must be taxed to pay for a second removal of his lost producing area.

Here are two positively opposite con- ditions that confront us.

That he was dissatisfied with his berth on the Yankee team.
