RAILDlSPliTE BEFORE WILSON President and Labor Secretary Confer with Trainmen Offl - rials and Managers' Representatives. NEWLANDS' MEASURE ' GENERALLY FAVORED Effort Will Be Made to Amend Arbitration Act to Avert Strike on 42 Eastern Railroads. By Associated Press. Washington, July 14.- Whether a strike of trainmen and conductors of the eastern railroads may be avoided, was the subject of a conference at the white house today between President Wilson and representatives of the em ployes and the railroads concerned. President Wilson, Secretary Wilson, ; Chairman Newlands, of the senate in terstate committee; Chairman Clay- ton of the house judiciary committee and republican Leader Mann, repres ented the government; Presidents Samuel Rea of the Pennsylvania; Dan iel Willard of the Baltimore and Ohio; George W. Stevens of the Chespeake and Ohio; W. C. Brown of the New York Central Lines, and Frank Trum ; bull, chairman of the board of the Cheaspeake and Ohio represented the railroads. President A. B, Qarretson ' of the Order of Railway Conductors and W. G. Lee of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen represented the '- employes. Seth Low, president of the Civic Federation, which has endorsed the ; Newlands bill for amending the Erd man act to provide arbitration of rail road wage disputes In a manner satis factory to the railroad- men, also was expected to take part in the confer ence. v Today's conference between the railroad men and the president con cerns chiefly the two bills pending in mnirnn for the amendment of the Erdman act providing means .of . arbM trationf WagS dispute It is under-1 stood fhat both the brotherhoods anu railroads are satisfied with the New lands bill already passed by the sen ate; but that the Clayton bill, intro duced in the house, largely at the in stance of Secretary Wilson, is not so . satisfactory. The latter proposes that the secretary of labor should be In- '; eluded as one of the official mediators. : There has been considerable objection to that feature. Chairman Clayton of the house Ju- . dietary committee, who was one of the : partic' punts in the White House con ference, declared there was no dispo sition to Dress his bill against the Newlands bill If it was apparent that both the railroads and their employes ' favored the Newlands measure. "All we want," said he, "is to get the best legislation possible to meet the views of both sides. The house Judiciary committee will determine its position at a meeting tomorrow In the light of this ' afternoon's conference. There should then be quick action by congress." Acceptance by the house of the Newlands bill, as it has passed the senate, which also has been approved by the civic federation, would un . doubtedly remove the possibility of a ; ' strike. ' President Wilson, on his arrival from Cornish, N. H., had befdre him a plea for action In the strike situa tion. With the exception of the threat ened strike the president had little pressing business before him and prepared to devote practically the en tire day to the situation. Senator Newlands declared today that emergency should bring the house to Imm.rMnla trlnn nn tha Suniita senate Mil.

ALLISON ATTEMPTS SUICIDE BY MI Ohio Man Becomes DesDondent ,.-., r " and Sends Bullet Into His Brain, v "W. W. Allison of South Solon. who has been in the city about two months seeking to regain his health, attempted suicide last night about 7 o'clock in his room In the Monarch hotel. He shot himself over the right eye with a .32 calibre revolver, the bullet penetrating the brain. The in Jured man was taken immediately to the Mission hospital and was attended by Dr. Arthur F. Reeves. It was stated today that he is still unconscl ous and that little hope is entertained for his recovery. In the Injured man s room were found two sealed letters, one ad dressed to Mrs. Allison at South Solon and the other to Miss Janet Jackson at Tryon. Telegrams telling of the at tempted suicide were sent to each of these parties by Chief of Police Lyer ly, but nothing has yet. been heard l'rom either. Another ItKter to-Mana- ger Tellm of the Monarch was found In Allison's pocket, which seems to explain in a disconnected way his rash act. The letter was as follows: "Mr. Yellin: Tell my family at So Solon, O. They will pay you and Mr. More. I can only write a while.

IIS0.000 N TRIED TO GIVE LETTERS y Mulhall Replies to Allegations that He Attempted to Use the Letters to Black mali. SAYS MANUFACTURERS WANTED THEM BACK Witnesses Asserts He Was Told $150,000 Could Be Had for Them To-., day's Testimony. By Associated Press. Washington, July 14. Martin Mulhall, self-styled lobbyist for years for the National Association of Manufacturers, interrupted the smooth progress of the senate lobby Investi gation today to make a reply to what he declared were personal attacks 1 upon his character and his purpose in'ag warm here today as he left it in the expose in which he has become . the central figure of the lobby in quiry. ' He denied that he had tried to sell he great mass of papers and letters which were recently published by the New York World and which are now in the hands of the senate committee. Later he said he proposed to Intro- uce witnesses and letters to show that he had been engaged for months trying to give away" the great file of correspondence which has brought Ulcers of the National Association of Manufacturers and labor leaders and congressmen into prominence. Mulhall's statement was made in connection with his request that he be allowed to read a letter he had written May 16. 1913, to Perriton Maxwell, editor of Heurst'n Magazine, urging him to have William R. Hearst make the mass of letters public through tils' publications. This letter reluterated former statements that the writer did not want money, but want ed. to get the lobbying documents pub lished as a -service .to the-public." "I have attempted for the past two months to give them away," Mulhall told the committee. "1 never had In mind' the questions of the money 1 would receive for them. But you did sell them later to the New York World?" asked Senator Reed. "I would like to offer further let ters and witnesses on that point," said Mulhall. "I did not sell them. I fell into the hands of a gentleman named Barry, who came over to look at the letters for Mr. Hearst I have learned since that hels what is known as a newspaper tipster. The letters were given to the New York World, but later Mr. Barry came and wanted me to break the contract, with the World, saying he could get $150,000 for the letters from the National Association of Manufacturers." I said the letters were not for sale; that the National Association of Man ufacturers did not have money enough to buy them; that I had no proposition of blackmail in connection with them." At this point Mulhall's statement was Interrupted by the committee. He said he wanted Editor Maxwell and Louis Seibold of the New York World and other witnesses called In his be half. Mr. Seibold la already under subpoena by the committee. The house committee apotnted to Investigate the Mulhall charges was unable to proceed today owing to monopolisation of Mulhall by the sen ate committee and Is, considering re cessing for two weeks. Washington, July 14. Martin M. Mulhall, who acknowledges to himself to have been ont of the chief lobby Ists for the National Manufacturers association, was on hand today when the senate investigating committee met, prepared to make additional dis closures concerning the alleged actlv Hies of "big Interests" In shaping leg islation. It was reported shortly before the committee resumed examination of the witness, that the Manufacturers association had on the way a large number of letters which It was. pro posed to hand the committee for use In cross-examination. These letters were ssld to be communications from Mulhall to various officers and direc tors of the organlbatlon. It was un derstood that the letters would be used In an effort to establish a motive for Mulhall's present revelations. John Mitchell, the labor leader, subpoenaed for today, was on hand and former Congressman George A. Pearre of Maryland appeared. He was excused until next Monday and Mitchell was told to come back July It, when Samuel Oompera had been directed to appear. Mulhall's first testimony today re lated to letters from Marshall Cush Ing. secretary of the National Asso ciation, regarding a campaign against Congressman George A. Pearre of Maryland. The manufacturers were opnpeed to Pearre because of a drastic antl-lnjunrtlon bill he hr.il Introduced. Mulhall said he made frequent visits I Pearre's district and conferred with former Senator Wellington, George H. . Holtsman. postmaster at Cumberland .and others. 1 "Why did you oppose Pearre T" uxea rteea, I On account of the stsnd on In- Junction bill, snms as I did M Monies," said the witness, llan lo Ilreak Mrlke.

Governor ColeS. Blease and Senator J. L. McLaurin of South Carolina, ac companied by, W. D. Grist and Leon M. Green, two newspaper men of the Palmetto state, were visitors in the city for a few hours today and were guests of the Laagren hotel manage ment. The partj motored over from Hendersonvllle- and are en route to Glen Springs tat a short vacation trip. Governor Blease, when inter viewed by a representative of The Gazette-News, seemed , in excellent spirits and was eminently well pleased with his trip. He said that lt.ia about south Carolina, but he stated further that his state cannot boast such ntghts as he has enjoyed here. . He thinks well of - Asheville and all of this section that he as seen thus far. When asked about the status of the military controversy that has been go Ing on lately between him and Secre tary of War Garrison' he stated that he has won out. He said that the secretary of war wanted him to mii ter out 13 companies of the South Carolina national guard but that ev erythlng has been amicably . settled now, and that arrangements are go ing forward for the summer encamp ment. Apropos of . this subject, however, the governor expressed a few opinions of the Dick law, relative to state mili tia being under the control of the federal government, that were not at all complimentary to this particular law. He said that within a few years every state In the south will regret that such a law is in existence. He said that while 'Jhe Is governor he ex pects to do everything he tan to safe- guard the rights of the people o his state, as the state may have a gover nor at some future time who will not be so careful of such matters. He wishes to do all he can while he has the power and authority to take up the matters that seem to him to be Inimical to these rights. He said that according to the Dick law the companies of the state mili tia In the national guard, during foreign war, may be put under the command of a negro, in case all su perlor officers over, the negro are killed or disabled; that In cases of riot the troops may be called out by the federal government to shoot their own people; or that In case the west ern states should decide to displace the. Japanese In their territory and the federal government decided to sup press It, then the state troops can be called out against their own country men. As to the first of these exigencies he said that South Carolina troops would shoot the negro put over them and as to the others they would not respond. That Is exactly how he feels about it, and he believe he is right and that his views will eventually be borne out. "I love the constitution of the Unit ed States." he said, "and I honor my oath as governor of South Carolina, but when the constitution interferes with the rights of my people it will have to be put aside In that partlcu lar Instance; Just as I told them at Klchmorid."

SERES' SACKING TALE OF HORROR TO ftSK RESIGNATIONS Action Will Be Taken in 30 Days Hammer and Log an Successors? Gazette-News Bureau, Wyatt Building, Washington, July 14. The statement is made here upon hut Is considered high authority that the resignation of District Attor ney A. E. Ho It on and United States Marshal W. E. Logan will be asked for within the next 30 days. From equally as high an authority It is learned that unless some unforeseen complications arise W. C, Hammer ill be given the place vaoatcd by Holton and that Manley McDowell will be appointed in the place of Logan. This information has been forecast these dispatches, but the "tip" given now come from such high au thority It Is believed that it is now settled that the Jobs will be distributed as above mentioned. Hammer, while a close personal friend of Senator Overman, will not be appointed for that reason alone, it is said. The claim Is made that Ham mer has the largest indorsement of any candidate for the place and is only exceeded by that presented by Watts, who was named for collector for the western district. Charles A. Webb has a goodly number of letters indorsing him for the place sought by Mr. Hammer, but it is claimed that Hammer's exceeds that of the Ashe- ville man. It Is said also that because Mr. Webb has not practiced law as actively as Hammer the attorney gen eral looks with fa'vor upon Hammer : rather than Webb. In the case of McDowell strong pressure has been brought to bear upon the senators to turn the Morgan ton man down in favor of some one from the tenth district, but after a , careful survey of all matters pertain ing to the Job it now looks like Me Dtowell is an easy winner. JjlE CAIOT REVOKE CHAUFFEURS' LICENSES Judge Carter Rules to This Ef feet in Case Against Mon roe Hensley. Judge Frank Carter made a ruling n Superior court this morning that will be of interest to automobilists. and especially to the chauffeurs of the city. This ruling, in effect, Is that chauffeurs' licenses cannot be revoked by the Judge of the Police court. The question came up In the case against Monroe Hensley, who was convicted a short t!me ago in Police court, and "by Judge his license was revoked Adams for four months, In addition to fining the defendant $5. The case was appealed to Superior court. Judge Carter announced that the board of aldermen of the city over stepped their autnority in attempting. under the new traffic ordinance, to confer upon Judge Adams the right to revoke such licenses for four months upon a defendant being con victed for the third time of violating any section of the ordinance relative to automobllese. According to this ruling there is no way at present time by which such licenses may be revoked after they are once granted, and a new law would have to be enacted to pro vide for such a course to he taken.

Loses Heavy. ' . By Associated Presa :. Salonlki, July 14. The sacking and burning of the town of Seres by the defeated Bulgarian army and the ac companying outrages on women and atrocities on men were fully confirmed today In a despatch from a well known Greek correspondent. The retreating Bulgarian soldiers, he telegraphs, opened a ' annonade with four field guns from a hill abovo. the town on Friday. At the same time bands of Bulgarian soldiers, led by their offloers, scoured the streets, first pillaging the stores and houses and then drenching them with petroleum and setting them alight until the greater part of the town was blaz ing. The soldiers were accompanied by the notorious revolutionary Colonel Yankoff, who with other former offl- (cers of the Bulgarian army were very . active In Macedonia In 1903. Even the foreign consulates In Seres were not spared, according to the correspondent. The Austro-Hungar- ian consular offices were plundered and burned. Vice Consul George C.
