Wilson Meets Many at Syracuse But Dodges In ternal Affairs NOT PLEASED WITH EVENTS jersey Executive Speaks at State Fair And Confines Himself to Tariff And National Issues Great Reception Albany, X. Y., Sept. 12. Deter mined not to interfere in the political tangles of any of the States, Governor Wood row Wilson admittedly steered a cautious course today at the New York State Fair at Syracuse, where Kov. Jix. Charles F. Murphy and manv Tammany Hall men gathered. Governor Wilson met Charles. F. Mur phy, leader of Tammany Hall, but held no conference with him. The Presidential candidate likewise saw and talked with Gov. Dix, who is seek ing re-nomination, but the New Jer sey executive discussed no politics with him. i naware of the programme that was outlined for the day, cognizant not un til the last moment that he was to be thrown together with a number of New York State politicians, Governor Wil son showed plainly his discomfiture at some of the day's events. The Presidential candidate declared that he had no intimation when invit ed to the State Fair that the Demo cratic State Committee and Associa tion of Democratic County Chairmen were to meet in Syracuse on the same day. Me said that had he known it, he probably would not have accepted the invitation, because he did not wish to meddle in the"" internal politics of any State. As it was, Governor Wilson had a dirticult time dodging the State polit i.al phases of the occasion. Early in the day he paid his formal respects to Gov. Dix in the parlor of a hotel. Soon a crowd gathered to shake hands wittf Gov. Dix, brought Mr. Murphy to the side of the Presi dential candidate. Gov. Wilson shook hands with the Tammany leader, but said nothing and extended his hand to others in the crowd who were pressing torwaul to meet -him. . In his speech at the fair grounds, where he was given a great reception, Governor Wilson confined himself strictly to the tariff and National is sues. A few minutes afterward he met at the luncheon table Gov. Dix, Lieu tenant Governor Conway, Norman E. Mack. Charles F. Murphy and others prominent in State politics. Governor Wilson had expected to dine with the State Fair Commission, of which Lieu tenant Governor Conway is chairman, and was surprised to find himself seat fd with Tammany Hall leaders and other State politicians. After partak ing ot bread and butter he left the table. A half hour later when Governor Wilson went to the grand stand at the lair grounds to see the trotting laces, the party of politicians trailed along. When Governor Wilson returned to his hotel from the fair grounds mem bers of his own party followed him to a room to which Governor Dix had led him. The two Governors entered, but Chas. G. White, sergeant at arms to the state committee, barred every one else out, including Governor Wil son's secretary. On the train tonight Governor Wil son was asked about that conference. He replied that Governor Dix had sought a private interview", and drew him aside just before the meet ins of the county chairmen. Governor Dix stated to me," said Governor Wilson, "his feeling about the political situation in the State. I. of course, expressed no opinion of any kind about It." Governor Wilson was asked by the correspondents on the train his ver sion of the entire day's events. The Governor smiled and said: " Y u evidently want to ask me if I allowed myself to be made use of in any way. I will answer your question without your asking it. Nobody can make use of me by merely meeting m . i merely met the New York lead ers, met them in public and . came away as absolutely free as when I went." Wilson Arrives In. New York. New York, Sept. 12. Governor Wilson reached New York at 10:30 oVLck tonight and went immediately 'o a hotel. He will leave early to morrow for Seagirt, resting until Sun bty niht, when he begins a long trip to Iowa and the Middle West. ENGLAND'S PROTEST SERIOUS Canal Case to Be Carried to the Ha gue If Necessary London, Sept. 11.

RAILROAD CONFERENCE ENDS Southeastern Lines Will Submit Dif ferences With Employes to Ar bitration Neill and Judge Knapp as Board. Washington, Sept. 12. The confer ence between the Southeastern rail roads and representatives of their conductors and trainmen over the question of wages, were brought to a close today by the railroads agreeing to submit to arbitration under the Erdmann act. Efforts by the railroads to have the matter arbitrated met with refusal by the employes. Chas. P. Neill, United States Commissioner of Labor, and Judge Martin A. Knapp, of the United States Commerce Court, will be the board of mediation. About 12,000 men are involved ami their demands for an increase in wag es wpuld-amount to about 16 per cent. A number of conferences have -been held here between the railroads and their x employes, but no agreement could be reached. The employes of these roads insist that their hours and wages should be equal to those employed on the Western railrcadS; Some days ago the question of cal ling a strike 'was submitted to the em ployes and it is understood it carried by a large majority, but the leaders of the employes' unions counselled moderation "ana urgea a compromise by having the controversy submitted to mediation. i'ne railroads Involved include the Southern, Atlantic Coast Line, Sea board Air Line, Queen & Crescent-, New Orleans. Mobile & Chicago, Cen tral of Georgia, New Orleans, Great Northern: Mobile & Ohio; Tennessee Central and Georgia. Southern & Flo rida. Sixty-Five Trainmen Strike Norfolk, Va., Sept. 12. Insisting that the demands for high wages and better working conditions should be granted, 65 trainmen and conductors of the Norfolk & Western, cnesapeaKe & Ohio, and Virginian railroads who have been in conference with officials of the roads " for more than a week have declined to yield anything. The railroad officials on the other hand, contend that to grant in full the demands of the men would be equal to putting a lien on railroad property. In the hope of settling the matter by arbitration, Charles P. Neill. Unit ed States Commissioner of Labor, is expected here tomorrow to attend the conference between trainmen and rail road officials. REQUEST WORRIES PANAMA Feared United States Is Infringing Soveriegnty of the Republic Panama, Sept. 12. Members of the Panama administration express alarm over the request made by Maurice H. Thatcher, Governor of the Canal Zone, that the Panaman government issue a decree providing that all concessions which Panama might make to indi viduals or .corporations to use the wa ters of the Republic must contain a clause that such concessions are grant ed subject to the superior rights of the United States over these waters. They fear this means that every con cession of lands in the Republic must include a clause fully determining -that the grant is subject to the right of em inent domain by the United States. . Two members of the cabinet today said that the -proposal was a serious one and appeared to be detrimental to the sovereignty of the Republic. It is thought that difficulties may arise through a misunderstanding of the real question involved. PATROLMAN DISCHARGED. Chief of Police of West Hammond . . Charged Vice Crusade. Chicago, Sept. 12.

New York.-Septi 12. District Attor ney Whitman, accompanied by; Assist ant District Attorney Ruben, will leave here tomorrow for Hot Springs, Ark., tr appear befpre the commis sion appointed, to tae the testimony of persons who talked to Sam Schepps, a witness in the Rosenthal murder case, while he was id custody in that city. . j Mr. Whitman said ihat the defense had added George W. Howell, chief of police of Hot Springs, to the three witnesses named in? the motion for the appointment of the commission, but he declared his confidence that the defense would find that Howell's testimony would be of little value to Becker's case. In view of the fact that Mr. Whit man has received from two of the witnesses telegrams saying that they had never heard Schepps say any thing in defense of Becker, it was said that the district attorney might make an investigation to determine whether improper methods had been used in applying for Hhe commission, cne effect of which was to postpone the trial until October 7th. For the purpose of establishing a precedent to prevent, in the future the procuring of delays in a similar manner, the prosecution obtained to day an order from Justice Bischoff re quiring the defense to show cause why the appointment of the commis sion shcula not be sdt aside. Argu ment on the order will be had tomor row, but no immediate decision is ex pected. ; ' Whitman Secures -Affidavit. Hot Springs, Ark., Sept. 12. Cap tain of Police George W.

LAWYER GIBSON IS JRRESIED Charged With Murder of Former Cli ent, Mrs. Rosa SzaboSends Wife Reassuring Message. Says Small Matter. Middletown, N. Y., Sept. 12 Bar ton W. Gibson, the New York lawyer who was arrested at his office today on 4 charge of murdering his client, Mrs. Rosa Menschik1 Szabo, was locked up tonight in a cell in police headquar ters here to await arraignment before County Judge Royce tomorrow morn ing. His self confidence and jaunti ness fled with his arrival here. Deputy Sheriff DeGraw took his pris oner not to the jail but to a hotel when he reached here and had prepar ed to have him spend the night there when County Judge Royce, who is sued the warrant for Gibson's arrest, reached town shortly after 10 o'clock and ordered Gibson to jail. "I heard about Gibson's trip to Mid dletown," Judge Royce said, "all the way home from Albany; it'seemed to be in the, nature of a free show. vThere is no reason why he should be treated differently from any other prisoner. Lock him up in jail and keep him there until the arraignment." Besides the Szabo tragedy there has been a chain of curious incidents link ink Gibson's name with cases of sud den death or disappearance of clients of the lawyer or of persons connect ed in one way or another with cases in which he was Interested. The first of four such coincidences occurred when Mrs. Alice CD. Kinnan, daugh ter of an aged woman, whose property Gibson handled, was murdered at her home in the Bronx. The murder mys tery was never solved. Gibson was held pending an investigation, but was released on a habeas corpus writ and subsequently brought suit for false ar arrest. TJhen, continuing the curious .chain, a witness at the Kinnan in quest, Michael Shippo, was found drowned in a shallow creeib and Geo. I. Malcom, a Wall Street broker and a relative of the Kinnan family, who had fought Gibson for the control of the estate, was drowned in Long Island Sound from a steamboat. The last. John Rice O'Neill, a British subject, who had conferred with Gib son concerning a mortgage transac tion after winning a $10,000vdamage suit for the loss of a leg, disappear ed after his conference with Gibson more than a year ago. On his way from New York GibsOK talked freely of the death of his client. He declared that her name was not Szabo. "Her name was Ritter," he said, "and she is not the Viennese Mrs. Ritter at all." ' Gibson recounted in detail the cir cumstances surrounding the death of his client, declaring that in an effort to change places with him she over turned the boat in which they were rowinsr oh the Greenwood Lake. He said he attempted to save her when they both went into the water, but that she grappled with him and he was forced to free himself in. order to come to the surface. "I am quite sure," he said, "I did nothing more than break her hold on me. I did not strike her or harm her in any way. "A great deal has been said about my having tried to pa,ss off a fake mother for my client," said Gibson. "I did nothing of the sort. Mrs. Rit ter brought a woman to my office and introduced her to me as her mother. Mrs. Ritter had no reason to deceive me in so doing. I don't believe she was deceiving me although she may have been and. I don't believe that the peo ple across the water will be able to prove what they claim. 'There is every reason to believe that Mrs. Menshik, Mrs. Ritter's moth er is alive. I know where she lives and will produce her at the proper time." New York, Sept. 12. Burton ,W Gibson, the New. York lawyer, whose cilent, Rosa Menschick Szabo, lost her dife while boating with him on Greenwood Lake, N.N Y., on July 16th, was taken into custody today by Dep uty Sheriff DeGraw, of Orange county, on a warrant charging Gibson with murder in the first degree. , Gibson was arrested at his office. -v ; .
