MIGRATION OF BRITISHERS. There Is to be a great migration ot smart Britishers tb New York, Washington and the Colonies this winter. Many American hostesses of standing are glud to get an opportunity of extending hospitality to prominent people at this side, I know several smart girls, who are delighted with the prospect of flitting about in American society.

Especially does the notion appeal to mothers with grown-up daughters, for men become scarcer evory day. It Is no exaggeration to say there will hardly be a marriageable man out of khaki in England in three months' time. Chaperons and nidthers are desperate over it all. A fashionable woman with three young and pretty daughters appealed pathetically to me the other day and asked if I knew any Americans among the "400" who would be willing to Introduce her daughters into the best American society. In tears ehe said, "something must be done." She was surprised -to learn that it Is very much more dim-cult to get into the very best set in New York than the exclusive coterie here, simply, because of the fact that you can purchase your way through In Great Britain, where there are so many hard-up aristocrats about, while in New York money is practically no consideration.

The American man has become a tremendous asset in Kritlsh society and one who would have been given the cold-shoulder a few years ago finds now he can, if he chooses, marry almost any smart aristocratic or titled girl.

Thirty-two Employees of the Company Discharged, Irregularities in Accounts are 1 Found by Detectives. Brakcmert; Conductors Stewards Involved. and I BY DIRECT WIBB EXOLC6IVB DISPATCH. SAN FRANCISCO BUREAU OF THE TIMES. Nov.

28. A the result of an Investigation covering a period of six months conducted by J. IT. Sheehan of the Southern Pacific's secret service bureau, thirty-two em ployees of the company have been permanently discharged for irregu larities in their accounts. There are now elRhty-flve other employees un der Investigation and more dismissals will probably follow.

The men Involved are train con ductors, brakemen. dining-car stew ards and hotel employees on the lines from Ogden to Sacramento and Oak land, Oakland to Los Angeles via the San Joaquin Valley, Mojave to owenyo, Hnzen to Susanville, and Sparks to Mina. The charges are for accepting fares for less than tariff rates, commonly known as short fares, drinking Intoxicating liquors, frequenting places where liquors are sold while on duty, and falsifying meal checks and accounts. It was discovered that there was no general ring engaged In the prac tices, the irregularities 'being carried on by employees Individually. AJtiong other things it was ascertained that confederates were used in various towns for the purpose of soliciting 'short fares' for brakemen who, in turn, Introduced them to the conductors.

In falsifying dining-car checks, one check would be used over again several times, the first figures being erased and the amounts withheld. The following Is a table of rates, regular and short: Reg.

Momentous. ARBITRATION NINETY-EIGHT WESTERN MNES ARE AFFECTED. Representatives of Employees, Railroad Managers and ttie Gov- ernment Meet In Chicago Tomorrow ns Result of Interposition of President, BY A. P.

NIGHT WIRE. CHICAGO. Nov. 28. What is said to be the most momentous arbitration case in the history of the country, brought about by the Interposition of President Wilson, will begin here next Monday morning.

The case is that of the employees of ninety-eight western railroads belonging to the brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, and their employers, represented in the proceedings fcy the Conference Committee of managers which was named for the purpose by the Association of Western Railways. The arbitration was arranged un der the provisions of the Newlands law. Ninety days are allowed to hear the evidence and ten days addition for trre delivery of an award. The arbitrators are: W. L.

Park, vice- president of the Illinois Central, and H. li. Byram, vice-president of the Burlington road, selected by the railroads; F. A. Burgess, assistant grand chief engineer.

Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and Timothy Shea, assistant president. Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, selected by the employees; Judge Peter C. Pritchard of the United States Dis trict Court at Richmond. and Charles iNagei, St. Louis, former Secretary of Commerce and Labor, selected by the government through the Federal Board of Mediation and Con ciliation.

The number of men in volved is 55,000, and the railroad mileage affected, 140,000. W. S. Stone, grand chief engineer of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, and W. S.

Carter, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, will represent the men before the board, while the twelve members of the Conference Committee, with A. W. Tren-holm as chairman, and with- legal counsel Including James M. Sheean of Chicago, will appear for the roads. Stone and Carter say that they "will not require the aid of lawyers.

An immense quantity of statistics has been prepared for presentation, and In addition, It is expected about twenty witnesses will be' called by each side. A statement given out at brotherhood headquarters today gays: "In a general way the members of the two brotherhoods are asking for a standard rate of wages and a standard day with special rates of pay for overtime. They ask for a five-hour day in passenger service with overtime based upon a twenty-mile an hour running time. In freight service they desire a ten-hour day basis. In hopes of standardizing wages among the employees on freight engines and trains in western -territory, the brotherhoods have suggested that pushers, helpers, men on mine rung, belt lines, transfer lines, wrecking trains and other unclassified service should be paid on a basis of through freight nay." Details of the demands of the men were thoroughly threshed out last spring by the two parties.

They could not agree and the men voted overwhelmingly to strike. The war in Europe broke out, however, and President Wilson persuaded them to accept arbitration. It was only re cently that the government appointed its members of the arbitration board, and the proceedings were delayed on that account. ALLEGED EPISODE IN LOS ANGELES NOT SUFFICIENT yOK DIVORCE. by Dinner wmrj exclusive potatch.i SAN FItANClSCO BUREAU OF THE TIMES, Nov.

28. Mrs. Irma I. Laugenour, wife of the president of the Yolo Lumber Company, was denied a divorce today from llliam R. Laugenour by Superior Judge Graham.

divorces could be obtained on evidence such as was Introduced In this case," said Judge Graham In denying the decree, "undoubtedly half the people of California would be divorced." Mrs. Laugenour alleged cruelty. She said he had accused her of giving her warm kisses to a Los Angeles preacher. One of her allegations was that her husband had once sworn at her. She admitted she had called him names more than once.

In rendering his decision, Judge Graham said: "After careful consideration of the evidence in this case, I find that the plaintiff failed to establish her charge of extreme cruelty. The quarrels were not serious and the evidence disclosed that both sides were at fault. If divorces could be obtained on the charge of evidence introduced in this case, then' undoubtedly half the people In this State would be divorced. "There are two minor children Involved here whose interests are of great moment, and. I am satisfied If the parties of this action exercise a little forbearance, yield a point here and there and get Into double harness and pull together, they can make their home what the matrimonial contract contemplates It should be."

Screeching Anarchists may Keep it up All Day'. Unmanageable Inmates will be Quiclcly 'Isolated. IBY DIIUXT WIRE EXCLVWVB 1TEW YORK BUREAU OF THE TIMES, Nov, 28. New York Is soon to have an addition to Its prison equipment especially designed for anarchists, I.W.W. agitators and other lawbreakers, who have laughed at previous attempts to restrain them In the workhouse and penitentiary on Blackwell's Island.

Under the supervision of Dr. Kath arine B. Davis, commissioner, work has on a new disciplinary building on Rlker's Islaitd. Since the Tannenbaum "uprising" on Black- well's Island last year, officials of tne department of correction' have been studying various schemes to prevent further revolts among prisoners and the Rlker's Island building, It Is hoped, will solve the problem for all time. It will have separate cells for eighty prisoners, all of whom will be drafted from other city institutions If they show propensities for stirring up trouble among their companions.

As soon as there Is an outbreak in one of the other prisons, the leaders are to be separated and placed In soli tary confinement on Rlker's Island, where they never will have an opportunity to agitate anything. For the worst of -them there will be sound proof cells. If a prisoner finds it impossible to quiet down even after his transfer to the Island, he will be placed in a room through the walls of which no oratory can penetrate. CONCRETE AND STEEL. The building is to be constructed of concrete block and brick and steel frame.

It will have two wings, connected by an administration house. Nothing Just lik It exists In the city's present equipment. The building will be only one story high. The cells are to be arranged in rows and will connect with open-air cells, each separated by heavy Iron bars. Each room will measure 8x12 feet and will be equipped with cot, washstand and other facilities.

It will have Its own window and the door will be an iron grill. In the case of the twenty sound proof cells, extra heavy walls will be built with layers of cork or some other deadening material Inserted In the concrete. These cells will have three doors, one of wood, one of iron and one on the loe-box pattern, to keep the noise within from filtering through. Members of the department of cor rection believe the disciplinary build ing will be far more humane than the "cooler," in which the more refrac tory prisoners are now punished. It will provide a means of Isolating the unmanageable inmates without causing them the physical suffering which has brought the "cooler into disrepute in many quarters.

CONVICTS AT WORK. A squad of 100 convicts has been put to work on the foundations for the Rlker Island structure, while other prisoners are at work turning out the concrete bricks and blocks at the city's plant on Hart's Island. It is believed that practically the en tire work can be done by convicts under the supervision of experts. K. of K.

LORD KITCHENER AND THE NURSES. DISAPPROVES OF MANY NOW AT THE FRONT. Director of War Office In England Secures Hundred Nuns to Take up Work of Blercy Scarcity of Eligible Men Makes Maids in Society Desperate. BY LADY MARY. SPECIAL FOREIGN CORRESPONDENCE.

LONDON, Nov. 7. I was vitlting at the Convent in Carlisle Place the other afternoon when Lord Kitchener called and asked for the Rev. Mother. Reverend Mother," he said, "can you let me have immediately a hundred nuns as nurses for the After a moment's thought she realized she could do as he desired, and forthwith It was arranged that they were to leave within a week.

If he could K. of K. would have nuns only as war nurses, having the highest opinion of them in such a capacity. No doubt there are admirable lay nurses, but in tho eyes of Lord Kitchener and heaps of the officers and men who served in South Africa in the last war the whole of the splendid profession was prejudiced by the be haviour of a goodly number of those who were out there at the time. A certain hieh officer is reputed to have called the South African war nurses a "pack of demoralized hussies" and less complimentary names stm were given them by other Officers.

The same afternoon that he called at the convent Lord Kitchener went on to visit the Duke of Roxburghe. who was then at Mrs. Rupert Beckett's hospital and the King and Queen also dropped in. If the duke has not al ready gone to the front he Is going directly being simply wild to get into harness again. He Is really a born soldier and as modest as he is brave.

I hear he is to get a V.C. one of these days and he has already had the Legion of Honor Destowed upon him. Officers and men who have followed him tell of the mercies he has ren dered to all sorts of people and even animals. When the bulldog, which is one of the pets of his regiment, was wounded by the bursting of a shell he carried him across to the veterinary camp in the thick or the firing as cool and as unconcerned as if he were in his own drawing-room. But altogether most wonderful things have been done cy DOtn omcerg ana men for their pets.

-1 am told that not one of the German regiments nas a pet, though one of the Kaiser'g dachshunds does accompany him. The Duchess of Roxburghe, who feels that the Duke has done his duty for his country, was in hopes that he would not go to the front again.

Over Hundred Delegates Attend New York Meeting-, Where Future of Orgardzatlona is Discussed. BY A. P. NIGHT WTIUt. NEW YORK.

Nov. 28. More than bout a new dog which Lady Lowther, wife of Sir Gerard Lowtner, naa adopted. It appears It belongs to one of the Belgian refugees wno managea to smuggle It over. It was sent to a dogs' home and was very ill bec ause it was not fed on the raw meat which some form of trouble from which it suffered necessitated.

Lady Lowther heard of it from a Belgian she has in her service and forthwith went off and offered tq adopt the little beast until its real owner was in a position to claim it Now It is having the time of its life and fed on the fat of the land. The smallest full-grown black cat ever seen Is owned by one of these poor Belgians. It Is nearly ten years old and was in Antwerp for the worst of the trouble. It used to be called "Hans," but it now has a new name, and it la learning to answer to "Mack." A little Belgian girl brought it over In a basket. Lota of people are delighted to adopt for time or for ever the numerouh pets which the refugees have brought with them.

MANIA FOR INVENTION. Several rich people have developed a perfect mania for invention and chemistry, hoping they may evolve something that will "do" for the enemy. They have set up laboratories and workshops in private houses at tremendous expense. Indeed, not a few people who live in the immediate vicinity of these amateur inventors and chemists are in more terror of an explosion through their experiments that of actual Zeppelins. One, of Lord Salisbury's sons has, been allowed to reopen his late famous grandfather's laboratory at Hatfield.

The late peer made a hobby of chemistry and it appears grandson of hla is following, id his footsteps, only he means to do something great. Parls Singer is another exceedingly clever amateur chemist and has rigged up for himself a fine laboratory at Oldway, his seat near Paignton, now a military hospital. He has a wonderful explosive, they say, which he hopes soon to perfect. I am told Jack Churchill, Lady Randolph's second son. has Invented a bullet which is to penetrate and explode the gas container of the Zeppelin.

Wherever you turn you are told of amatelur inventions for war'purposes by which their sponsors swear. Society women, too, are fascinated by the new craze and Lady Evelyn Guinness, a remarkably clever woman with money to burn, is one of those who has a laboratory of her own. A peculiarity of the moment Is that nobody wears full, dress in the evenings. Men don dinner Jackets and women deml-dres3, which has always been so popular with Americans and French women. I happened to be present lately when-Lady Randolph Churchill and her sister, Mrs.

Leslie, were ordering further new dresses for their mourning for Mrs. Leslie's son, and they gave Inductions that their dinner dresses were all to have high transparencies at the neok. The fash ionable dressmaker then told me had not made a full evening dress gown for at least two months, i THE WEATHER BACK EAST.
