Hope was still felt in many quarters that ifle Federal Board of Mediation and Conciliation, which has been en listed to compose the situation, might secure a resumption of work pending arbitration. Railroad officials have consented to this method of settling the strike. Union officials, however, have refused to say whether they would sanction such an agreement. Practically 2,500 men are out. Ex cept for the two continental passenger trains, the entire Atlantic system, com prising a network of about 2,400 miles of track was tied up today. The 67 requests for the men include reinstatement of many engineers and others declared to have been discharg ed in violation of the contracts, exces sive imposition of demerit, requiring of many reports and other informa tion outside of company time, regula tions of lay-overs away from home terminals, requests for firemen on en gines at certain points and monthly guarantees. i nil r n nir iiinif rlAtll DY JUIil j HENRY SPENCER, CONFESSED SLAYER OF MRS REXROUT, FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER. "u: . NT 1 C II .. C- of j r confessed slayer of Mrs. Mildred Alii . J njlexroat a dancing teacher, was tonight found guilty of murder, The death penalty was fixed by the jury, which returned a verdict after two hours.' deliberations. Spencer was arrested October 5. Im mediately he began a wholesale confes sion in which he declared he had mur dered 29 persons, most of them women. Although the police proved that Spen cer could not have committed many of these murders, they still believe he killed at least one or two women in addition to the dancing teacher. Ever since his arrest, Spencer has in sisted that he be given death penalty. When his trial began Monday, how ever, his attitude in the court room was one of such violence that Prosecu tor. Hadley saw in it a well defined at tempt to establish the belief that the defendant was insane. Spencer was the only witness to take the stand for the defense. He testified today and for fifteen minutes held the attention of the court while he cursed and reviled his own counsel and the State's attorney. T PENALTY PROHIBIT FOR ENTIRE NATION Governor Hodges Says Liquor Traf fic Will Soon Be Banished. FORMER OFFICIAL ALSO SPEAKS Tells Why He Changed His Con victions In Regard To Saloon. Columbus, O., Nov. 15- Predicting that a resolution prohibiting the traffic in intoxicants as beverages in the United States and all territories under its jurisdiction soon would be adopted by Congress and declaring that "if I am then Governor of Kansas I will immediately convene the Legislature in special session if necessary for the purpose of ratifying the amendment," Gov. George H. Hodges, of Kansas, tonight threw the fifteenth biennial convention ol tne American Anti- Saloon League into an uproar of applause. Governor Hanna of North Dakota, an other speaker, gave statistics to show the prosperity of his State under "pro hibition" reign and said the "brewers' year book" showed no consumption in His State of their manufacture in 1911. The day seesion was brought to a cli max with astirring address by former Gov. M. R. Patterson, of Tennessee, in which he gave reasons for his enlisting with the anti-saloon movement. "The Anti-Saloon League and I have not always been friends," said Mr. Pat terson. "The paths we traveled were wide apart. But the path I traveled turned in its course. It ran to the other and we now find ourselves inarching in the same direction, actuated by the same desire to destroy the traffic in liquor and redeem a nation from its course. "I am neither ashamed nor abashed to stand before this great audience and ac knowledge the wrong when 1 once ad vocated policies which would have made legal a trade which I have come to look upon as having no rigluful place in Christian civilization. Commenting on one of his own ines sages to the Tennessee Legislature in which he opposed further legislation to regulate the saloon traffic, Mr. Patter son declared that at that time those were his honest convictions based upon a misguided judgment. Continuing, he said : "I have seen the trail of liquor in th criminal courts where I have prosecuted crime. I know and have been a parti cipant in its paralyzing and corroding in fluence in the social and public life of our National Capitol. As the Governor of Tennessee I have seen it a veritable and raging center of storm around which gathered its defenders anil assailants and from which sprang divisions in par ties, disputes in families and dissen sions in churches. "Going through life I have seen it drag down many of the associates of my boy hood, blasting their hopes and consign ing them to untimely graves. I have seen its forked lightning strike any first born the child of my young manhood. At last I have felt its foul and stealthy blow as it turned upon me its deadly and shaming wrath upon me, who had pleaded before the people for its very existence. "I cast aside all pride of opinion and went to the throne of Almighty God. There on bended knees I asked for light and strength and they came. "The saloon cannot produce one vera cious witness in its favor. It stands a convicted felon and must receive the sentence of the law. It must go, never to return and, with the going of the sa loon, liquor itself should go." The program of the convention calls for three sessions tomorrow, the con vention concluding its work tomorrow night. LOCOMOTIVE BROUGHT HERE TO, BE REPAIRED. Locomotive No. 36 of the Norfolk Southern. Railway Company, and which has been located at Raleigh, was brought to New Bern .yesterday and placed in the local shops for repairs.

PRESIDENT IS HOLDING OUT War Minister Plans Coup D'Etat If Promise Is Not Kept. Mexico City, N'ov. 15. General Blanquet, minister of war, is preparing for a coup d'etat, in case Huerta does not keep the personal pledge , he has given that lie will not try to hold on to the presidency. Army officers have been ordered to take instructions only from the min-. istcr of war, and to hold themselves in readiness for immediate action. In now develops that Huerta was prac tically under arrest at Blanquet's home yesterday, and was allowed to leave only when he promised to quit the office. Blanquet is said to have shown him that an attempt to hold out against the United States was madness. A special train has been ordered by the Government to be in readi ness to go to Vera Cruz either to night or tomorrow. ; Blanquet expects to be chosen Presi dent ad interim tomorrow. Mexico City, Nov. 15. All efforts on the part of certain of the minis ters of General Huerta's cabinet to in- . duce the provisional president to re sign, and prevent the new congress from convening, have come to a stand still. None of them now dares to broach to General Huerta the idea of with drawing in response to the United States' demands. The sudden change from the atti tude of a majority of the ministers' yesterday is due to the fact that William fl Bayard Hale was negotiating with General C'arranza on behalf of the United States government. He was enraged when he learned of this phase of the scheme to oust him from the executive seat, and will now listen to no proposal ol surrender. It is said this evening that the op timistic reports were made on their own responsibility without having con sulted Huerta. The members of the diplomatic corps and high government officials believe that attempts to renew the negotiations with Special Envoy John Lind -aW doomed to failure, and that even ifa ministers broached the subject, which is considered extremely unlikely, and the provisional president consented the United Srares would hardy re open the subject at this late date. It is in fact, believed that the United Stated will make a final demand on Huerta tomorrow, and set a time limit for his answer. A telegram from Vera Cruz says that John Lind transferred his baggage to day from the Hotel Terminal to the battleship Louisiana. FRESH EGGS TAKE TUMBLE IN GOTHAM. New York. Nov. 15.
