San Francisco, Calif.. Sept 1. Vice
president and General Manager Ju
lius Kruttschnitt, dictator of the pol
icy and terms of employment of
more than thirty thousand men In i
the employ of the Harrlman Railroad
system, west of the Mississippi river, I
.hortly before noon today met I he
general officers of the five largest
rafts union.
President Kline of the blacksmiths'
union, was speaker for the employes,
und presented a part of their claims
rnd demands. Before the conference
Mr. Kline expressed the opinion that
Mr. Kruttschnitt would consent to the
reengn Hon of the federation system
i l employes.
Hefore the conference, the men had
voted to go out on strike in case Mr.
Kruttschnitt refused to recognize thy
new organization of the crafts unions.
Seventy-fivo train auditors In the
Fadf.c system of the Southern Pa
cific .sti'in of the Southern Pacific
dlid twcnty-f.ve additional clerks In
San Francisco were today dispensed
with, as a part of the retrenchment
iiiove by the Harr'.man lines.
The outcome of the conference Is
being carefully watched by the entire
country and it Is generally conceded
tiiat the company must either come
lo-the terms dictated by the federation
or a strike, entailing a possible tie
up of all the rolling stock of the Har
riiimn system, which would cause a
heavy lost to the company and much
suffering to both the operatives and
patrons of the lines. i
Chicago Watches Frisco. '
Chicago, 111., Sept. 1. On the out
come of the conference that Is on to
day In San Francisco, between five
I residents of the shopmen's unions
and Julius Kruttschnitt, vice pre.s:-.
dent and general manager of the Har
rnnan system of railroad lines, prob-1
ably depends whether or not there
will be a renewal of peaceful rela-,
tions of war between the Illinois Cen
tral Railroad company and the em-,
ployes of the company.
The Ill no's Central officials have
refused to deal with the federation
svstem and If Mr. Kruttschnitt fol
lows suit, the action of the two will .
establish a precedent for other roads
to follow when they are confronted
with the same problem, which H is
believed will result In a general strike
of the employes of all the railroad
companies in the western country.

city, which occured last Sunday night
in a private sanitarium conducted by
Dr. Alice Prather, the authorities last j
night placed under arrest Mrs. Pra
ther and Dr. John A. Hamilton, on
charges of wilful manslaughter. ,
It is alleged that Mrs. Reams' death
was due to a criminal operation which
was performed on her by Dr. Hamil- j
ton while she was confined in the
Prather tanitorlum.
The arrests were made about mid- !
night last night and created quite a j
sensation in this city, as all parties j
are prominently known. j
It is alleged that the death was not j
pioperly certified for, by the attend
ing physician, and that the woman's;
remains were buried before the coro
r.er had t!me to hold an inquest. The
bodv has been exhumed and an in-

Neither of the fvo prisoners were;

Henry Clay Beattie, Jr.f accused of
murdering his wife, is today ready to
take the witness stand in his own de
fense. The prisoner today gave out a
statement in which he stated that h
felt assured that his testimony would
go a long ways toward proving that
he is innocent of the charge against
him, i-j the satisfaction of the Jury
wh .eh is trying him for his life.
Most of the day in court has- been
taken up in introducing character
vitnesses to testify to the character
and reputation of Ernest NebUtt,
whose testimony went to show that
Paul Beattie, cousin of the accused
man, had approached him near a
bridge while he, Pul, was carrying
a shotgun, and which also contradict
ed much other testimony given by
Paul Beattie during his time on th
stand as a witness for the prosecu
;ion. Douglas Beattie, a brother of Hen
iy, took the witness stand and testi
lled that his brother and wife, the
murdered woman, had always seem
ed to be a loving couple and that on
:hc night of the trag-.dy. Henry sob
bed bitterly and seemed to show every
evidence of sorrow.
Henry Beattie, yesterday afiernooa,
