FINAL WORD WITH COMMITTEE Arbitration Not Mentioned At Conference But Employe Are Expected To Make An Appeal. 'New York, July 8.

Peace overtures ceased here today between 45 Eastern railroads and 100.000 members of the Order of Railroad Conductors and the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, after the employes' representatives in conference with the railroad managers announced that 94 per cent, of tbe men bad voted to strike for increased wages. Final action on the proposed tie-up remains with the general committee of 1,000 of the conductors' and trainmen's organizations, and a meeting has been called for Saturday. It is the unanimous opinion in operating circles that the strike vote will be ratified unless the companies meanwhile offer to pay higher wages or, agree to submit the dispute to arbitration. During the negotiations today the Erie Railroad and Its. two subsidiaries the New Jersey and New York and the New York Susquehanna and Western withdrew, leaving 42 roads In the conference.

The Erie system contends that the increase demanded represents an annual cost to the three roads of $1,200,000 and that the system, In paying this sum, would suffer In safety appliances and equipment. The conference committee of managers will meet Monday to consider the decision of the employes', general committee. The railroads are then expected to issue their ultimatum. It was said today that at no time during the session was the Erdman arbitration act mentioned, but comment among railroad officials and union representatives tonight showed a general expectation that the men would appeal for arbitration before definitely deciding to walk out. Both sides to the controversy have expressed a belief that the present three-men mediation under the Erdman act is dangerous, in that it places too much responsibility on the deciding vote when two of the members fail to agree.

For this reason the course in Congress of a bill amending the Erdman act by Increasing the number of arbitrators is being watched with interest. It was only under sharp protest that the railroads, In the recent dispute with their firemen, consented to arbitrate under the Erdman act. They have already In the present wage controversy declined one proposition for arbitration under that law. In reference to the withdrawal of the Erie road, T. H.

O'Brien, representing the trainmen of that road, said tonight "The Erie men will insist upon a compliance with their demands for a wage Increase and unless the Erie meets their demands the men will strike."

Crowds About Hirst-Second. About the First-Second National Bank crowds of aliens, depositors In the foreign department, today continued to assemble, but gave no cause for activity of the police that have kept tbe crowd moving for the past two days. These aliens con tented themselves with copying the notices posted in their various languages, and by late afternoon had left the vicinity of the bank building. So secure did the members of the Clear ing House feel in the stability of conditions generally that a meeting which had been scheduled for this afternoon to consider the financial situation generally was called off.

and offers of assistance from New York, Chicago and St. Louis were refused. Expected statements from J. S. Kuhn on any phase of the situation were not forthcoming, while W.

S. Kuhn, president of the defunct First-Second National Bank of Pittsburgh, who left his. country place at Pride's Crossing for Pittsburgh, de clared he had no comment to make on the failure.

N. July 8. J. Cootanan Boyd, Baltimore candidate for Grand Ex alted Ruler, the highest office In Elkdom, was defeated in a close election here to day by Grand Treasurer Edward Leach, of New York, the organization candidate. Mr.

Leach received 1,119 votes against 892 cast for Mr. Boyd. Other officers chosen today are: Grand Esteemed Leading Knight P. H. Shields, Clarksburg, W.

Mills to succeed Perry A. Shaner, of Sisterville, Pa. Fight Over Treasurer. A Grand Treasurer was not elected. A second ballot will be cast tomorrow morn ing.

Charles A. White, of Chicago, led a four-cornered race on the first ballot, his opponents being George D. Locke, of Rogers, Ark. P. J.

Brennan, of Deniston, Texas, and William A. Evans, of Sf. Joseph, Mo. White lacked 156 votes of election, 741 being necessary. Atlanta withdrew from the race for the 1914 convention before the Grand Lodge went Into session, and the delegates were unanimous for Denver.

After the vote was given out Mr. Boyd announced that he has not given up his fight for a new order of things in the Grand Lodge and that the battle will be continued next year. The contest to oust Frank Robinson, of Illinois, from the office of Grand Secretary, was also lost, he being re-elected. The Baltimore delegation which had been working hard for Mr. Boyd ever since its arrival is of the opinion that the forces enlisted for the Baltlmorean would have ben victorious had the election been held a day later.

It Is only a question of time before Mr. Boyd's progressive policies will be adopted In the Grand Lodge, according to progressive members throughout the coun try. While they were practically certain of victory this year, the number of delegates was greatly Increased today by New York men, whom the Boyd workers were unable to reach. To Keep tip Battle. Mr.

Boyd and the Baltimore men are now enlisted in a campaign for the organization of State lodges of Elks, to have annual or semi-annual meetings, delegates from each State to be elected to the annual national convention. Their Idea is that the convention Is now too large and that because of its enormous proportions It can not be handled as easily as It should. Practically only the largest cities in the country are at present able to entertain the Grand Lodge, it is stated. Although there is not a State association in Maryland now, the Baltimore Elks believe that one wlU be organized within a short time. Several other progressive measures will be Introduced before the convention Is over by the Baltimore delegation, which seems to be the leading spirit in the progressive movement.

Most of the Western States have lined up with Baltimore, and unless the New York men can control a larger delegation 'than -they- bad today it Is probable that- many of the measures to be presented by the Baltimore men will be' adopted. The Baltimore delegation has secured the services of Lampham's Hussar Band, which is giving concerts dally in their hotel. Short parades about the streets are also being held by them, mainly between the Osburn House, their headquarters, and the headquarters of, Mr, Boyd, at the Hotel Seneca, Women Well Entertained. With the 600 delegates there are about 60 women, who are being well entertained by the women connected with Rochester Lodge. Sightseeing trips about the city have been Indulged in and several auto mobile Journeys have been provided for their entertainment.

Thursday night the delegations will leave for Buffalo and Niagara Falls. They will remain there until Friday night, go ing thence to Albany, and from there to New York by the Hudson river day line, arriving In Gotham Saturday night. Sun day will be spent at Coney Island. Some of the party will then return to Baltimore, while others will go to Philadelphia and Atlantic City. A number of Baltimore people came to Rochester by automobile.

They made the run by way of Philadelphia, New York, Albany, Utica and Syracuse to Rochester. Before returning they will tour Central Pennsylvania. Included in this party are. Mr. and Mrs.

Charles G. Decker, Mr. and Mrs. J. Albert Cassedy, Mr.

and Mrs. Emll Bud-nltz, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Gomprecht and Mr. and Mrs.

WILSON GAINS IN WEIGHT Mountain, Air, Motor Rides And Golf Bring Glow Of Health To' President. 5 N.

Should affairs in Washington, however, become pressing he will start back immediately to the capital. Secretary Tumulty Is keeping Mr. Wilson In tmch with things.

The satisfactory progress of the Tariff bill, especially the adoption of the caucus resolution by the Senate Democrats, Insuring a safe majority for the measure, removed the last bit of anxiety the President had about spending this week away from Washington. He has been informed thtt there is nothing ahead so. far as can be seen now to require his return and he has yielded to the advice of his physician to take a good rest. The President has not only taken on weight but bis face bears a ruddy tan and a glow of health, the result of brisk rides in the cool mountain air and plenty of golf. The President found an ideal links at Hanover, N.

and probably will golf there frequently hereafter. Professor Cox, of Dartmouth College, invited him over and assured him that be could play inconspicuously there. The President spent the afternoon at home reading 'some official papers. Many persons left their cards, but none saw him. He left Cornish early, and, motoring 30 miles over green hills and valleys, arrived there before noon.

The college town is filled with summer school students and some of the young women tripped enthusiastically across the links to gree.t the President. From the roadway groups of town folks watched the play. The President played a fair game, but found the links much more difficult than the Woodstock course, where, he was yesterday. Dr. C- A.

Grayson was again his There were no caddies about when they arrived and a Secret Service man and one of the chauffeurs volunteered for the task, As the President played his second round a very small boy him with a very big American flag and when.be reached the green more "co-eds" came up to shake hands with the golfer; Mr. Wilson was not flustered and holed with a neat putt. "Fine, fine," exclaimed the girls. The President smiled appreciatively upon his feminine "gallery," but said: "Oh, I don't always do as well as that."

The Senate Lobby Investigating Committee took a look at Wall street today through the spectacles David Lamar. The clapper operator on the bear side, who admits that be bandied about In the market and played the names of men high in Congress, took the committee completely Into his confidence.

For all the machinations he contrived there were, after all, he swore, but two reasons. He wished to cause an which would bring the Wall street men whom he felt were antagonistic to him "Into the" open," and' he wished to Insure -re-employment of Edward Lauterbach, bis lawyer friend, who had fallen into disfavor with the mighty of the street. Although the" committee tried to develop, that there might, have spme 'other consideration involved, Lamar denied such an allegation as often as it was made. He was on the stand for several hours, and although five Senators wielded the scalpel at various times they uncovered nothing that Lamar did not wish to reveal. Again and again he seemed to be on the verge of some admission, to which patient questioning had brought him, but he veered away and no persuasive or law-'yer-llke threatening could bring him back Only Playing Wall Street Game.

He was only playing Wall street's game, be said, when he made such frequent use of the telephone and talked about what 'might be done in Washington through prominent members of Congress. It was game he had known most of the 25 years he had been in the street, he said, but he was through with it now, JJe was 'sorry for the publicity, that had been given to the reports of Influence In Congress, but except for that he thought the end justified the means. The explosion had occurred, he added, and his enemies had been dragged into the open to prove charges circulated for many years in the financial district against himself and Lauterbach. He summed up his whole 6tory in a few words when he said: i "It was the1 Wall street game I was playing. In Wall street you don't act like you do on a New Jersey farm." Later be added bitterly, "I am the only villain In Wall street.

All the. others are actuated by the highest motives and possess the highest ideals. "Klxeel Up Game On "I realize perfectly that my life and character are on trial before this committee," he said. He argued that his testimony and Lauterbach's had shown they were not engaged in any effort to get money from J. P.

Morgan Co. or other interests. "I'll tell you what my motive was," said Lamar. "It was either to force these men to recognize the injustice of their attitude toward Lauterbach and myself or force them to come out into the open with the charges of blackmail they had circulated in New York for years against both 'of us. Ledyard and his associates had ruined many men and I was determined they should not ruin me." Lamar said he knew Lewis Cass Ledyard was trying to "trip him" when he began telephoning in the name of Representative Palmer, and then determined to fix up a "game" on Ledyard "to force the financial people into th eopen." Voice Shaken With Emotion.

As Lamar proceeded his voice shook with emotion. Lamar's choice of adjectives in speaking of various Wall street men led Senators to interrupt his statement frequently. Whenever the committee disapproved of something be said, Lamar immediately agreed with the objector, to the great amusement of the audience. Lamar declared tne wnole tning was a major Wall, street operation traveling on pareiiei lines" and nslsted he was "after" Ledyard, Cravath, Evarts, Lovett and the "Morgan, steel Trust, Union Pacific and other interests" and wanted to force them to an open attack. Lamnr testified that his charges of an $82,000,000 forgery on the Union Pacific ooks, which were emphatically denied by lawyers for the company at the time he made them, were founded on statistics from a "manual" and Thomas Gibson, a New York financial writer.

The witness testified also of Impersonating Chairman McCombs, of the, Democratic National Committee, and Chairman Ililles, of tbe Republican National Committee. -In "Wall Street Frame Of Mind." Lamar described, the "Wall street frame Of mind" as "where the thing to do was to win as long as nothing criminal was done." -'Were you jn tne waji street frame of mln1 on February 8 when you telephoned to Mr. Ledyard?" asked Senator Reed. "I wasin the Wall street frame of mind." "When you telephoned Chairman Hllles?" "That was Wall street at its best. The whole jurisdiction is made up of that." have you delivered your testl mony? In the Wall street framefof mind?" "That's an entirely different matter, and I have to face my soul's salvation and I am order oath.

I'm through with this Lamar's examination was finished today and both he and Lauterbach were allowed to go with, the understanding that 1 wanted they should appear again. Sugar Lobbying Taken Up. With their departure the committee took Bp sugar lobbying again for three hours, With a short excursion in the land of the wool lobby. Charles D. Westcott, Wash ington attorney, who lives in Cuba, took tip the sugar story.

He told of an unsuc cessful effort he made to get Cuban plant ers to put up $25,000 for the expenses of a free sugar campaign in Washington to offset the efforts of the anti-free sugar men. lie declared that his effort failed after he had believed it successfully launched, and gave It as his opinion that the Sugar Trust has been responsible. He said the trust bad accomplished this end by its Influence with Cuban banks, which could force the growers to do what they wished by refusing to extend them neces sary credit. He added that the Agrarian League, to which every Cuban grower feels obliged to belong, was dominated by the trust and that acting in compliance with the combine's wishes It had opposed a free sugar campaign. Westcott was put through a searching cross-examination by Senator Cummins about these statements.

He finally said that be personally did not know about trust domination in Cuba, but that his statements were made on Information given by growers. He read to the committee a letter from R. R. Hawley, president of the Cuban American Sugar Company, of New York, which, he said, was allied with the trust. In this letter Hawley opposed free sugar, arguing that Cuba benefited more from the preferential now enjoyed under reciprocity sne wouia wim iree sugar.

Senator Nelson Raises Laugh. Senator Nelson caused much amusement when be questioned Westcott about a let ter be wrote to Secretary to the President Tumulty In tbe winter, urging that Presl dent Wilson keep up the fight for free sugar. Tbe witness said that shortly after he wrote the letter the lines of the free sugar advocates in the and Means Committee or tne xiouse were "sunrenea. letter stiffened up the free sugar firtnff liner said Senator Nolson. 'Well It stiffened shortly after I wrote it" "Are you sore tbe President ever read ttr "No.

sir." Well. It acted as a sort of starch on those wavering members of continued Senator Nelson, while the chairman rapped for order and stopped -the lsuebter. no," the witness-eatd, with a show nt embarrassment. Senator Cummins said he could under stand the attitude of most men on the sugar ouestlon, but was greatly surprised to see an American Interested In securing trM sugar because it would benefit the ruban Dlanters. Westcott admitted that h.t ma hla principal object He Bald he never expected a large fee from the conduct Of tne pro po sea campaign.

It was not occupied by the family, but contained valuable paintings and other precious objects, all of which were consumed, the damage amount ing to $100,000.

A message was left by the Incendiaries stating that If Sir William Lever had been as loyal to the suffragettes as Lancashire was to the King; who Is now paying a visit to the industrial centres of the county, the fire would not have happened. Sylvia Pankhnrst Convicted. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the suffragette leader, was brought up at Bow Street Police Court today and found guilty of Inciting people to commit disorders on June 29, when she led a mob to Downing street to raid the official residences of the Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. She was ordered by the magistrate to find sureties in $12,000 for good behavior for a year, or as an alternative go to prison for three months.

Miss Pankhurst refused to find bonds and elected to go to Holloway Jail, declaring that she would at once start a hunger strike and also go without water. Archibald Bodkin, prosecuting for the Treasury, said the authorities did not de sire to punish her, but merely to prevent her making Inflammatory speeches. Harangues Courtroom. Miss Pankhurst, who defended herself. harangued the people crowding the court room.

She said "Revolt is the only way left to us. I wish what happened had been more serious, because it will have to come to something more serious. There will be rebellion and the East will march toward the West with sticks and stones. If you drag me back to prison under the infamous 'cat-and- mouse act' I shall continue to protest as long as life lasts. Very probably some of us will die, but all say it la worth it." American Snlfraaette Arraigned.

The only comment of the prisoners was, "we shall do Just as much as we choose." All Pay Pines.

Miss Emerson and Harry Golden were brought back to the prisoners inclosure in the police court this afternoon and' the magistrate told them he had overlooked the fact that he was obliged by law to offer them the alternative of a fine instead of imprisonment. He therefore fined them each $10. Contrary to the custom of the militant suffragettes and to the great surprise of all in court, the fines were at once paid. Miss Kitty Marlon, a suffragette, sentenced July to three years penal servi tude for setting fire to the stands of tbe Hurst Park race course, was released from prison tonight on license.

HAD HELD BALTIMORE PULPIT Rev. Walter R. Leckllter, Who Went To Portsmouth, Va.r TJsea Jfovel Methods. Norfolk, July 8.

To raise funds with which to build a new church Rev. Walter Leckllter, pastor of the Cal vary Baptist Church, of Portsmouth, has opened a regular amusement park. He has named It Baraca Park and has provided a merry-go-round, refreshment stands and other things usually found in public places of Its kind. The church was recently razed to make way for a new house of worship. Until the latter Is completed the congregation worshiping In a structure near the old church site.

Scores of young women have volun teered to serve cool drinks, Ice-cream and other refreshments at the "park," and the Baraca Brotherhood, 200 strong, has agreed to patronize the place. In addition hun dreds of children pay nightly visits to the place and invest their pennies and nickels In Ice-cream cones and rides on the merry- go-round. Rev. Mr. Leckllter came to Portsmouth from Baltimore recently.

His purpose to conduct an amusement park was strongly antagonized here by some members of his congregation, who went bo far as to appeal to Mayor Hope, of Portsmouth, asking him to prevent the opening of the park. The Mayor, however, refused to interfere. Rev. Mr. Leckllter says he will get enough money to build the church, and from present indications it looks as If he will.

Was At Wllkens Avenne Church. Mr. Leckllter went to Portsmouth from the Wllkens Avenue Baptist Church, and was succeeded here by Rev. J. W.

Barrett. He Is well known as one of the younger Baptist preachers of the city, being little more than 30 years old. He was reared In Hampden and considers himself a Baltimore boy. In his pastorate here he attempted no very novel schemes to raise church funds, but even his friends among the Baptist clergy of the city were not inclined to favor his idea of a church- owned amusement park, even though christened "Baraca," with Sunday-school young ladles as waitresses and patronized by only Baracalzed young men and exemplary children. Rev.

Kinsman A. Handy called it an unwise move and a failure, even though sufficient money might be raised in that way. for he considered a split congregation a greater evil than one without a church. He also Is of the opinion that a pastor's primary duty is to look after the spiritual welfare of his congregation instead of promoting and managing amusement parks even for the highest purposes. "It might possibly be permissible for members of the congregation to have pro moted such a park for this Identical purpose," said Rev.

Mr. Handy, but this church bus been placed In such a position that it risks Its life on such a gamble as an amusement park. The plan may not fail in Portsmouth, but I would not dare risk it in Baltimore." CUBAN POLICE CHIEF DYING Gen. Ernesto Asbert Denies That He Fired A Single Shot. Havana.

Cuba. July 8. Gen. Armando Rlva, chief of the Cuban national police. was still alive today, but the surgeons declared that there was no hope of his recovery from the bullet wounds he received last evening during a pistol fight on the Prado.

Ernesto Asbert, Governor of Havana Province; Senator Vldal Morales and Representative Arias, who were arrested for participating in the affray, which grew out of a raid by General Rlva on the Asbert Club on Saturday night, when many members were taken Into custody for gambling. General Asbert says that he did not fire and that Representative Arias fired only when he had been assaulted by General Rlva. Many witnesses, however, assert that all three of the arrested men fired repeatedly.

General Asbert and Representative Arias were consigned to the city prison on a charge of murder by the magistrate," and Senator Morales remains under detention. Strong forces of police, including extra squads of mounted men armed with revolvers and machetes, are on constant patrol duty in Central Park and adjacent streets. All political and gambling clubs remained closed under police guard. Supreme Court Judge Edelman, who was specially appointed to examine into the charges against Governor Asbert, Representative Arias and Senator Vidal Morales, has committed Asbert and Arias to tbe city prison on the charge of attempted homicide, assault with firearms and resistance to authority. The charge against Morales has not been determined.

The Supreme Court is allowed by law until Thursday morning to order the indictment of the accused. Today the prisoners were visited by hundreds of political adherents and sympathizers. The newspapers in general denounce the conduct of Governor Asbert and his associates as "a foul blot on the fair fame of Cuba." position..
