By direction of President Taft, the Department of State yesterday mailed letters to the heads of 150 railroads in the United States 'In an effort to obtain employment for the American locomotive engineers and conductors who were thrown out of work as a result of the strike on the National Railways of Mexico.

Through its diplomatic and consular officers in Mexico and various government agents on the border, the depart. ment has been placed in touch with about eighty locomotive engineers and eightythree railway conductors formerly in the employ of the Mexican National Railways who are now in the border towns of Texas and are idle. The American consuls in Mexico are endeavoring to locate others. It is believed, however, that all of the striking rallway men have by this time returned to the United States. It openings can be found for these men, arrangements have been made for the railroads to reach them through C.

E. Webb, in charge of the Order of Locomotive Engineers at San Antonio, and D. F. Anderson, in charge of the order of railway trainmen at Laredo, Tex. The department has been in close touch with the railway situation in Mexico since differences first arose between the American employes and the railroads.

During negotiations for the settlement of these differences Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City was instructed by the department, under the direction of the President, to make every effort within his means to effect a reconciliation. The Mexican government is directly interested in the operation of these lines, and Ambassador Wilson carried the case of the American employes to both the management of the road and to government officials, placing it before President Madero himself. Though he succeeded in prolonging negotiations and in obtaining for the men further hearings, he was not successtul in reaching an amicable settlement.

LIFE IN SONG AND STORY The California Society and the friends and lovers of Joaquin Miller gathered at the Joaquin Miller cabin for preliminary dedication exercises yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Out of the way of the well traveled lanes, out of the way of noise and ornament, out of the congestion of crowds in spot of rare beauty has been placed the log cabin of Joaquin Miller, the "Poet of the Sierras." Near at hand flows Rock Creek, singing the song of the hills. Everywhere there 18 the unclipped wilderness, trees and wild flowers, reaching upward under the 1m- pulses of brightening spring.

Such are the environs of the 10g cabin Joaquin Miller built; truly simple, natural as his own Sierra hills, appealing and inspiring, and providing an atmosphere for reflection under the soothing Influence of the flowing water and rest in the soft spell of the wilderness. President O'Donoghue, of the California Society, opened the services, telling the story of the log cabin and the movement to preserve and properly locate it. He told how the society took action to preserve the cabin on hearing through former Senator Flint that former Ambassador White wished to transfer it to the California: Society, if early removal would be made. "The great pleasure of all this," said Mr. O'Donoghue, "Is that we are doing It while the poet is living." Miss Harriet Homer Leland recited "Columbus," by Joaquim Miller, and "The Bravest Battle." She stated that Tennyson had remarked that Joaquim Miller was one of the greatest geniuses that ever lived.

Tells of Poet's Life. A. J. Boyer, historian of the Callfornia Society, read an essay on the lifework of Joaquin Miller, and he described the history of the log cabin. He also read a letter from the poet telling how he had come to build the log cabin to cause certain proud persons to better appreciate the nobility of the simple.

Mrs. McCauley sang an original selection. A large music platform was built by the park authorities for the exercises, which were attended by a large number of prominent people, including Ambrose Bierce, Mrs. Clarke-Jones, and Miss Margaret Andrews. Numerous automobile parties, persons in carriages, and members of the park mounted police also were present.

On Sunday, June 2, the final dedication exercises will be held. Among those who have agreed to speak are: Senators John D. Works, of California, and W. B. Heyburn, of Idaho; Representatives J.

R. Knowland and J. E. Parker, of California, Frederick Haskin, President of the National Press Club, and Revs. Marshall Mott and A.

P. Doyle, and E. P. Harrington. Charles Hanford, the actor, will recite the "Star Spangled Banner." Col.

John A. Joyce, personal friend of the poet, will recite an original poem. GIRLS ON A LARK SOUGHT BY POLICE Officials of House of Mercy Fear Missing Trio May Be in Quest of Footlights. Three pretty girls, out on a lark. are at large in Washington, with officials at the House of Mercy, Klingle Road and Rosemont Avenue Northwest, and the police in eager but aparently futile.

pursuit. Just why the girls left the home is question which they did not tarry to explain, but officials who have been in charge of the attractive trio fear they deserted in hope of landing behind the footlights or procuring some equally exciting employment. Two of the girls are from eighteen North years old, Carolina, old, and and Tirza the Isabella third, Sheppard, Sparks, Flora seventeen years Barrier, sixteen years old, halls from Maryland. All have been at the institution more than a year. The girls waited for supper before departing The excitement, however, had not sharpened their appetites and it was noticed they only dallied with the Sunday evening delicacies.

Then the girls obtained permission to go for a stroll in the grounds. In the twilight they caped. All of the girls wore street attire and detailed descriptions of their clothing have been given the police. The House of Mercy is a religious institution maintained for the correction of girls inclined to be what is commonly termed "wayward." STEAMER CONVEYS BODY OF OFFICER Remains of Quartermaster Robert Terry, Drowned Off Northland, on Way to Norfolk. Among the freight which was loaded on the steamer Northland Just before she left her dock at the foot of Seventh Street Southwest for Norfolk last night was a long.

narrow box, covered with black cloth, which was handled with unusual care by the stevadores and caused members of the crew to stand with bowed and uncovered heads at it passed. In the box was a coffin containing the body of Quartermaster Robert Terry, of the Northland, who fell overboard to his death while adjusting the stern flag just after the steamer docked here yesterday morning. Behind the comn walked Frank Terry, also an officer on the steamer, who is returning to a home that will be saddened by news of the death of his brother. Just how young Terry he WAS only twenty-two-missed his foothold while adjusting the colors is not known. He wag lowering the Stars and Stripes while standing on the railing on the hurricane deck.

While he worked he chatted gaily with David White, the young son of Representative White. Suddenly the youthful quartermaster slipped and disappeared over the side. It is believed his head struck a projection on the side of the steamer, for when he came to the surface he seemed stunned, and did not see the lite preserver thrown by chambermaid. Before aid could reach him Terry was drowned. The body was recovered thirty minutes later.

After Coroner Nevitt issued a certificate of accidental death the body was removed to an undertaking establishment and then transferred to the steamer.

May eighteenth annual conference on international arbitration, which has just terminated, gathered together many men of distinction from various avocations.

In times past such vital Interests as are included in the "peace movement" were intrusted to a few professionals, but now men of many minds reason togetherthe college president, the foreign ambassador, the editor, the clergyman, the labor leader-from all ranks they come, and the interest is world-wide. President Butler, In his address on "The International Mind," defined it as "something worth cultivating and which results In a feeling that we are all tellow-sharers in the world's civilization. We trembled to hear some of our Senators discussed--to feel that some of our political leaders, apparently of high principles, lack moral courage and fall us in their guidance of international affairs, through diverting impulses. This conference has been timely supplement to the discussions in the Senate concerning arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France. Abdul Baha, leader of the Bahai movement, attracted considerable attention as he delivered, through an interpreter, message of good will to the audience.

The leader of the new-born cult spoke on "The Oneness of the Reality of Human Kind" and created a profound 1m- pression upon his hearers. President Butler decried the state of unrest caused by erroneous reports emanating from the pens of enthusiastic writers, who, he said, succeeded in arousing 111-feeling between two countries when neither has a grievance. Among those who attended the conference were Dr. Lange, of Norway; Dr. Trueblood, of peace movement fame: Oscar Straus, Albert Gobat, Sir Louis Davies, of Canada; Stewart L.

"The three great essentials for the development of true spirituality," she said, "are simplicity, fearlessness, and self-relance. "The simple man is the fearless man, having nothing to conceal and no false position to maintain. "Self-reliance is the outcome of the realization of the God within, which destroys all fear.

CAPITAL BUSINESS MEN START HOME Spend Last Day of Outing Viewing Historic Spots Along the James River. Special to The Washington Herald.

Fort Monroe, May down the historic James River aboard the steamer Smithfleld, which was specially chartered for the occasion, the excursionists of the Chamber of Commerce to-day completed the third leg of the annual outing. Under ideal weather conditions and with- good cheer a plenty, the trip was one of the most enjoyable of the excursion. The many points of interest along the James River kept the Washingtonions constantly on the lookout. When the old site of Jamestown hove in view, it was with great difficulty that J. Edwin Joyce could be restrained from leading second colonization party to the shore.

Secretary Tom Grant, aided and abetted by Secretary William John Eynon, of the Board of Trade, organized an old maid's party in the seclusion of a stateroom, missing all the historic scenery, but not missing a trick. Vice President D. J. Callahan, attired in an attractive yachting cap, acted as master of ceremonies, and by frequently referring to A guide book was able to lecture on the places of Interest on elther shore with a fair degree of accuracy. Through the courtesy of Capt.

A. W. Gard, of the Smithfield, the members of the party were able to get close view of the newly launched battle ship Texas while passing Newport News shipbuilding yards.

Thirty Instructed Delegates WIll Vote for Him, Managers Say, The Harmon headquarters last night issued a claim. that the thirty uninstructed members, of the Michigan delegation to the Baltimore convention elected last week will be for Gov.

Frensderf admits, according to this telegram, that Gov. Harmon will receive more votes from the Michigan delegation than either Speaker Clark or Gov.

C. Ernest Smith Uses Titanio Disaster as Example of Efficacy of Supplication. Attributing the deliverance of Col. Archibald Gracie and others on the TItanic to the power. of prayer, Rev.

Dr. C. Ernest. Smith, rector of St. Thomas' Church, yesterday preached a sermon on "The Unanswered Prayers of the Lost on the Titanic." "In view of the fact that so many more were drowned than were saved and that doubtless many of those who perIshed prayed just as earnestly as the saved," said Dr.

Smith, "the question has been asked somewhat anxiously whether we are justified in thinking prayer had anything to do with it. Could not their rescue be accounted for more naturally and more charitably by an ability to swim and a good physique? "It is rather a distressing question, because it seems to imply a disbellet in the power of prayer. We all. of course, believe in prayer, but do we believe in the efficacy of prayer? Apparantly good many well-intentioned people do not. They are willing to go through the form of praying, but they would be utterly amazed if their prayers should have any practical result.

A difficulty of this kind touches the very foundations of the faith. "The truth, is. we have started at the wrong point. We have assumed the rights of a man 'to be saved because another man was saved. There are no rights in the premises.

This is a great day for clamoring for rights and of neglecting duties. "Labor unions are clamoring for higher pay and shorter hours, and they are giving less and less attention to duties, 80 that labor was never so insufficient as If is to-day. "Women are clamoring for rights at the polls, but it might be worth while to ask how much attention they are giving to their God-given duties at home, which if attended to every right will be theirs. So it has come to pass God saves one man, we feel hurt because He did not save another man beside him. And yet, after all, the man who perished on the Titanic, even though he prayed, is as much the object of God's love and as much in God's care as the other who was saved." THE THOMAS A.
