Special to the Evening Review.
CH1CAOO, Dec. Labor Com
missioner C. P. Nelll today presented
to the locomotive engineers a propo
sition for supplementary negotiations
to prevent a strike. The railroads
now offer a ton per -cent Increase,
against 15 per cent demanded by the
engineers. To this. Warren Stone,
chief of the engineers' brotherhood,
said: "This is no time to talk. I
will say that the railroads must of
fer more or there will be a tight."
Nell, through tact and diplomacy,
pievented a break In the negotiations
yesterday, but in the evonirg diono
declared the situation hopeless and
said he did not expect any further
conference.
"The pianagers have not offered
us a single thing more than thev
did six weeks ago," said Mr. Stone,
"and unless they do. there Is going
to bo a fight.' I can see no other
way out of It, as I see the situation
tonight. It looks very much like a
strike."
Five points of difference remain to
be settled between the managers and
the engineers. The chief point Is
the pay on the Mallet type of engine.
The rate now paid the engincors is
$5.40 a hundred miles, and thev ask
for a rate of $S. The pay is based
on 10 miles an hour. jf a 10 hour
dnv for a 10(l-mlle run.
In the conference the engineers
modified their demands to J7.50 for
100 miles and the managers offered
an advance of 7 5 cents a day. making
the rate $6.15. Mr. Stone says th
Mallet Is the. coming engine, as it
does twice the work of the old type,
and that is the reason why the men
are Insistent on getting a hlprh rate
now. though th-re are but 300 Mal
let engines In the entire country.
The question of pay for overtime
Is a point on which the mumpers
and the men cannot agree, l'n.lir
the present system, the men .do n V.
receive pay for overtime of less than
SO minutes, while anything over thai
counts an hour. The men say that
thev are constantly required to work
25 minutes overtime and are called
off before the half hour Is reached,
so that thev receive no pay They
demand to he paid overtime on a
minuto basis, so that they shall re
ceive nav for the actual time they
work. They also demand to he paid
for nrenarntorv time, as they assert
Ihpv have to work for one-half hour
to one hour getting their engines
reiiHv for a run and that they .ire
paid only for the running time.

Discussing the mention of his own

HERMANN'S ACQUITTAL.
Portland Oregonlan: There will be
general satisfaction at the action of
Mr. Heney in terminating the prose

association of the ex-Congressman
and ex-Land Commissioner with
land-fraud conspirators was other
than personal and political, or that
his compliance, actunl or seeming.
In their schemlngs had the slightest
criminal intent. Persistent prosecu

In Roseburg, where Mr. Hermann
has resided for nearly half a century,
the passing of the cloud that haB

a mental and physical strain that
would have broken down a man of
lesser hardihood. He has emerged
without a blemish upon either his
nubile career or private life and he
will continue to enjoy the highest
esteem of the townspeople and the
loyal friendship of the many citizens,
whose unshakable confidence In his
Integrity was such a great boon to
him in his days of anxiety and legal
strife.

FAVORS ABOLITION OF
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Oregon Penitentiary Sucriiitciirictit
Would Substitute Life Term
Restrict Pardons.
SALEM, Or., Dec. 22. "It does
not appear that the increasing mini-'
her of executions in this state has
operated aB a deterrent of the crime
of homicide," snid Superintendent C. i
W. James, of the Oregon State Penl-1
tentlnry, in his annual report to the
Governor, "nnd as a result of my In
vestigation, observation and experi
ence during the last seven or eight
years, I am fully convinced that capi
tal punishment should be abolished.
Life imprisonment, with restricted
powei-B of pardon, would prove equal
ly. If not more effective In protecting
society ngainst those who commit the
crime for which cnpltal punishment
is the penalty and would not only be
more in nccord with the spirit of our
constitution but more in harmony
with the progressive spirit and ad
vanced conditions of the present cen
tury." Mr. James recommends a mothod
of restricting the pardoning power.
He believes thnt the constitution of
the state should be amended bo thnt
anyone rervlng a Hie sentence could
obtain a pardon from the lnwmaklng
department only and - the power
should be exercised only by pursuing
the same forms and legal steps us
are essential to the enactment of a
law. Then life sentence might he
substituted for capital punishment
with practical results.

FINE TRACT OF 241 ACRES
Dexler Rice ' and J. H. Boolb Become
Owners of Ceo U. Pitts and
Jas. Hall Farms
Negotiations have been completed
whereby Hon. Dexter Rice and Hon.
J. H. Booth, of thiB city, have become
the purchasers of the splendid 2200
acre farm of Geo. H. Pitts and the
adjoining 200-acre farm of - James
Hall, opposite Ruckles, on the South
Umpqua River, IB miles south of
Rosehure. Tills tract hns Inn? heen
considered one of Uie finest fnrniB In'
Douglas county. Altogether this
tract has a frontage of 4 Mi miles on
the South Umpqua River, being on
the south nnd west side of that
stream, which Is there paralleled by
the main line of the Southern Pacific
railroad.. The station at Dole, for
merly known as Ruckles, Is Immedi
ately In front of tbis tract, and sup
plies every convenience of mall and
transportation facilities. The farm
Is also supplied with telephone con
nection. Nearly half of this entire tract Is
known to bo fruit land of the highest
quality. The Pitts prune orchard of
50 seres, now 16 years old, has a
record as a splendid producer one
among the best in the county. A
small apple orchard on the Hall
tract, has never known a failure In
over 30 years.- Alfalfa, grain and
corn crops are always heavy.
The ' Pitts farm has long been
known as "The Oaks," from the
magnificent oak trees In' the vicinity
of the residence. A Inrge-spring of
oold water flows from the river bank,
nnd a hydraulic ram 'forces this to
the house nnd farm buildings, lawn.
etc. In fact it 1b an . almost Ideal
country home, from which the wind
ing river nnd passing trains are in
full view. It is also admirably sltu
nted for anh-dlvlslon. giving each
tract its own water front. Nothing
definite In this line, nor ns to plant
ing any more orchards, has yet been
decided upon, however. v -
; Mr. Rice, who Is a member of the
well-known law firm of Coshow &
Rice, will have the perBonal man
agement of the farm, but will not
move his family there before next
spring. He will retain his connec
tion with the law firm, dividing his
time betwoen the office and farm.
Mr. Rice will assume the manage
ment nf the furm about Jan, 1, and
Mr. Pitts will move to, this city to
reside just as soon as he can secure
a suitable house. -
The consideration- Involved in this
big land deal is not given out but It
Is considered fine of the most Im
portant realty.' transfers made in this
county for some time.
