EMPLOYES' VOTE GOES ON Managers Say Concessions Offered Exceed Limit Trainmen's Com mittee Leaves "Without Seeking , Any Further- Conference. CHICAGO, Feb. 28. Arbitration as to the means of averting the result of an unfavorable . vote by trainmen and conductors on the wage proposi tion made by the railawys was of fered by the general managers today. I. G. Rawn, of the Illinois Central, who acted as chairman of the mana gers' committee, said the managers felt they had offered "concessions which would really prove to be oppres sive to a number of the roads. The exact amount of the proposed increase, Mr. . Rawn said, was a ques tion to be computed by the different roads, as the same conditions do not apply to all systems. In a general way, he said, the officials contemplated in creasing the pay of conductors In the passenger service $10 a month; bag gagemen $6 and brakemen and flag men $5, with extra for overtime. The increase offered the men in the freight service, he said, was a flat 10 per cent, while on work trains and mixed trains the increase amounted in some instances to 18 per cent. Whether arbitration ultimately will be accepted by the employes, officers of the organizations involved would not venture an opinion. The last of the trainmen's committee left the city today and no further effort to seek a conference with the managers will be made, it is said, until the result of the proposed strike vote is known. BLANKS IXK VOTE OX STRIKE Portland Brakemen and Conductors AY ill Cast Ballots. Local railroad officials admit the situa tion in regard to the threatened strike of conductors and brakemen- is serious and may result in a complete tieup of the railways west- of Chicago. Dispatches from that place indicate a walkout is im minent, but this will not be definitely known until all employes allied with the organizations have an opportunity to vote on the strike proposition. Portland brakemen and conductors ex pect blank ballots in a few days and will return their votes to the Chicago headquarters. It is understood the con ductors and brakemen's associations stand ready to act as the majority of the trainmen shall vote. The trainmen demand shorter hours and more pay. The eight-hour day is wanted and the desired adjustment of wages. If granted, will give conductors and train men a more substantial Increase than the engineers received a short time ago. About 30.000 trainmen and 42 railroads are involved in the present trouble. It will take about 15 days for the entire vote to be polled. Sawmill" Men Get Increase. CHICAGO. Feb. 28.

"Now, doctor, as a matter of fact, is there anything in that letter that even tends to or hints at insanity?" asked Mr. Jerome. "Oh, yes, there Is a sign of it In all the letters," said Dr. Evans. As each letter was gone over it was handed to the jurors for inspection. Dr. Kvans said that one sentence in one of Thaw's letters was incoherent, but was deciphered as, "I could be Senator from Pennsylvania." "Does it seem incoherent," Mr. Je rome asked, "that a young man of large means should aspire to be Senator from the state that Senator Quay came from?' Dr. Evans said he could not say. Thaw's Incoherent Ambition. When Dr. Evans was handed the letter marked ''Exhibit No. 1," he spent a long time examining it before he said he was prepared to answer any questions. He said the letter was ir regular and disorderly, but did not in itself show that the writer was in sane. "The letter shows a delusive state, in that the writer speaks of owning 'Pittsburg politically, said Dr. Evans, The alienist had some difficulty in deciphering one sentence of the let ter, and said it wa Incoherent." When closely questioned, he admit ted that he was unable to read the sen tence. "Do you mean to swear that this sentence you cant read Is incoher ent? Do you know what you are talk ing about?" demanded Mr. Jerome. Dr. Evans reply was so low as to be unheard by Justice Fitzgerald, who rapped sharply on his desk. Mr. Delmas suggested that the sen tence in the letter might read: "I could be Senator from Pennsylvania," and Mr. Jerome agreed with htm. "Does it seem it Is incoherent," he asked the witness, "that a young man of large means should aspire to be Senator from the state that Senator Quay came from?" "You do not allow me to take into consideration who the writer of the letter is," said Dr. Evans, "so, with out knowledge, I cannot say." Court Calls Down Jerome. "Dr. Evans," said Mr. Jerome, "in tes- tifying in the case of the state vs. Reld, did you not say 7 ... "I object," interjected Mr. Delmas. "Objection sustained," said Justice Fitz gerald. "Did you testify in such a case? asked Mr. Jerome. "Yes." "Didn't you say ?' "I object. said Mr. Delmas. "Objection sustained. There will not be an end to this if you bring what every expert witness has testified to in every other case," said the justice. "Do you know the position your honor has taken toward me?" began Mr. Jerome, but he was cut short by the Judge. "You understand nothing, but I rule," said Justice Fitzgerald with some show of feeling. "I sustain the objection." "Now, Dr. Evans," said Mr. Jerome, "taking these leters as a whole and ex cluding all else, can you say whether the Many of the trust deeds securing corporate bond issues in Oregon run in the name of foreign trust com panies which have not complied with the laws of this state permitting them to do business here.

Heading of Letter Stopped. The letter Thaw wrote from Paris after Evelyn Nesbit Thaw had told him her story was produced and Dr. Evans was asked whether it showed evidence of in sanity. "Taken by itself," the doctor said, "it would not enable me to say positively whether the writer was insane." Dr. Evans started to read the Paris letter, saying: 'Mrs. Astor was here last week, but went away again. There are a lot of beauts Mr. Jerome interrupted. "I did not ask you to read the letter," he said sharply. Mr. Hartridge, of Thaw's counsel, said later that, while the name sounded like "Astor," he did not think the name was mentioned. Dr. Evans was given a typewritten copy of Mr. Delmas' hypothetical ques tion which he promised by tomorrow morning, when Mr. Jerome will examine him on it. At 4:50 o'clock court adjourned until tomorrow. Thaw's Letters Sent to New York. PITTSBURG, Feb. 28. Acting upon the advice of Hartridge and Pea body, of counsel for Harry K. Thaw, on trial for the murder of Stanford White. J. D. Lyon, vice-president of the Union Na tional Bank, this morning sent to New York the correspondence which Thaw carried on with the bank since June, 1906. Mr. Lyon has hesitated about send ing this correspondence, and wrote to District Attorney Jerome asking for In structions. Today he received a letter from Thaw's counsel stating that there was no ob jection to forwarding the letters, and the package was at once sent to New York. WORK TO PREVENT SUICIDE Salvation Army Succeeds In Eng land, Starts in America. NEW YORK, Feb. 28. Commander Miss Booth, the head of the Salvation Army in the United States, tomorrow will inaug urate anti-suicide bureaus in all the large cities of the country. The plans follow one which has been in operation in Lon don under the supervision of General William Booth. The system is designed to assist and advise any person contem plating suicide. The New York service will be under the charge of Colonel Thomas Holland, who will handle the case of men, while Mrs. Bri poller Bovill will take charge of the wTmen appli cants. Each will be assisted by a large staff. The plan in London, according to the local army officers, proved successful, re sulting in the forming of bureaus In vari ous other central cities. In London, says the announcement, there were numerous requests for advice from people who con templated taking their own lives. These included all classes and conditions of so ciety and people of every shade of re ligion. The results have been astonish ing. Within the first 11 days no fewer than 300 applicants were personally in terviewed and a large number of others reached by correspondence with effect. It was soon discovered necessary to classify the applicants. This was done as follows: The sick and incurable, especially those suffering form nervous diseases and who, unable to see anything but suffering and helplessness before them, had reached the point of self-destruction. Drunkards and persons addicted to the use of narcotics. The lonely and bereaved, whose only thought was to put an end to their dis tress by getting out of the world as quickly as possible. The unemployed and those financially embarrassed, which proved to be the most numerous class. It is on these lines that the work In America has been taken up. YAQUI POISONS THE WATER Caught Pouring Cyanide In Reser voir and Promptly Shot. EL. PASO. Tex., Feb. 28. News has been received here that a Yaqul Indian who had just emptied a 15-pound can of cyanide of potassium into the municipal waterworks reservoir at Hermosillo, was caught in the act of emptying another can of the poison. He was ordered shot by the authorities and the sentence was carried out. A new terror is added to the situation in the Sonora country, since the Yaquis have learned the deadly nature of the poison which so largely is used in mining operations in that section and is so eas ily accessible to thieves and desperadoes.

Act of Congress Required to Create More United Western Dele gations Carry Point. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Feb. 28. Hereafter no forest re serves will be created in Oregon, Wash ington, Idaho, Montana. Colorado or Wyoming except by specific authority ot Congress. The conference committee on the agricultural bill today agreed to Sen ator Fulton's amendment to this effect, notwithstanding the fight made against it by the Forest Service and Interior De partment. The entire delegations from all the states affected were favorable to the amendment and the committee, in view of the fact, deemed it expedient to grant their request. This will probably put an end, for the time being, to forest reserve extension in the states named, for the respective i delegations believe their states are now already too liberally sprinkled with re serves. There is a remote possibility that the President may veto the bill in order to kill this amendment, but such a course is not probable. FIGHTS STANDARD OIL SCHEME Fulton Exposes Deep Design in the Amendment to the Alcohol Bill. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 28. Senator Fulton today vigorously opposed the Aldrich amend ment to the denatured alcohol bill, on the assumption that it is loaded and will 1 prevent tne ODject ior wnicn tne dui is intended, namely, to permit individual farmers and small communities to manu facture denatured alcohol for local use or for sale. Mr. Fulton expressed the opinion, which is concurred in by many Senators, that the Aldrich amendment will prohibit the manufacture of alcohol in small plants and will. In effect, result in a combine of large manufacturers which will let them monopolize the market. The Standard Oil is behind the Aldrich amendment and controls all distilleries that can manufacture denatured alcohol unless the pending bill is enacted without the Aldrich amendment. Borah Gets Tinker Appointed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Feb. 28.
