ConferenceCommittees Wil
Meet In Chicago to Dis-

St. Paul, Minn., Dec 11.—The strike
of the switchmen w as enlivened today
by the rumors front Minneapolis of
a coal famine and by the report hero

hood of Trainmen, who have been
employed as switchmen and other du-

Belittle Coal Famine.
The coal famine in Minneapolis is
not a matter to be feared, according
to railway officials,
A. L. Flinn and Charles Watson,
agents of the state railroad and ware-
house commission, sent out to inves-
tigate the freight traffic situation in
the Twin City yards, affected by the
switchmen’s strike, reported to the
commission today:
“From the investigation made,”
their report reads, “we are of the
opinion that the companies are mak-
ing every effort to keep the less than
carload lots of merchandise moving,
with fairly good results, but the
amount of carload freight handled is
much curtailed.”
Negotiations Open Today.
Chicago, Dec. 11.—Negotiations be-
tween the railroads conference com-
mittee, representing the general man-
agers' association, and the switch-
men's committee, will begin Monday
in Chicago, according to an author-
ized statement issued here late to-
day by the general managers' asso-
ciation.
It is expected the different points
at issue between the railroads and
the employes will be discussed by
the parties to the conference,
Knapp and Neill Busy.

Knapp aud i-Abor -Commissioner Neill
Monday wHU also take up the ques-
tion of adjusting the dispute between
the Illinois Central railroad and the
telegraphers of that - system, who

cent in their wages. The demand ot
the telegraphers was denied by the
road and the dispute referred to the
mediation of the federal commission-
Johnson Says He
Knew Defendants
Testifies for State In the
Rankin Case.
f'niou City. Tenn., Dec. II.—Testi-
fying here today for the state in the
Kaitkin murder case, Mill Johnson
said ho knew the defendants, Garret?
Johnson and Arthur C. l>oar, and that
lie joined the night riders’ organiza-
tion in July 1908, iu the woods. The
oath he took when he became a mem-
ber was as follows:
“I solemnly swear I want to be-
come a Night Rider of my own free
will and if I divulge its secrets death
will be the penalty and 1 will not
be buried in a graveyard.”
Johnson, iu direct contradiction to
the evidence lie gave at the first
trial, admitted, that he was present
when Captain Rankin was hanged and
then shot.
In every respect he corroborated
the detailed story of the crime told
by Colonel Taylor and Frank Fehring-
er, the self-confessed member of the
night riders, who was the state's
chief witness in the first trial.

SAN FRANCISCO
OFFICERS DEFIED
Roams at Will Around City
Carrying on Unhindered
Career of Crime.
San Francisco, Dec. 11. After be-
ing sought by the entire police depart-
ment of the city for a week, an un-
identified man who last Saturday
night held up and robbed two drug
store proprietors entered a booth and
shot and killed a bookkeeper, Wil-
liam H. Achneider, tonight walked in-
to the first place held up by him a
week ago and at the point of a pis-
tol again robbed it of $125. The drug
store is located on Market street
near Larkin aud scores of Christmas
shoppers were passing the place at
the time.
Many in Store.
Seven persons were in the store
when the robber entered and asked
one of the clerks for some headache
powders. Dr. K. (Reason, proprietor
of the place, happened to look up
from (he prescription counter and
there within a few feet of him recog-
nized the man why robbed him last
Saturday night.
Was Recognized.
With a whispered, “There he is
again,” to a clerk, Gleason ran up
stairs in the rear to notify the j»o-
lico. In the meantime the clerk who
had waited upon the robber turned
to hand him the powders and found
himself looking iiito a gleaming re-
volver and was forced to hand over
all the money in the cash' register.
The robber walked through the
front door and was lost in the throng
in the street.
The police are greatly worked up
over the boldness of the man, whom
they have been unable to apprehend
although they have an excellent de-
scription of him.
LEN FOOK NEN'
DENIES EVERYTHING
Gets Excited and Almost
Denies He Is Alive; Anoth-
er Tong Murder.
San Francisco, Dec, 11. -The mur-
der of Yee On. whose body was found
in Oakland's Chinatown todaj with
four bullet wounds In the head, fur-
nished the ninth chapter in the his-
tory of one of the fiercest tong wars
ever waged in the state. There is no
cine to the murderers but the police
learned that several strange Chinese
believed by leaders of the Yee tong
to be highlanders imported by the
On Yiek tong, were seen iu the. vi-
cinity of the tragedy yesterday.
When Len Kook Non, who is now In
the El Paso county jail and who is
thought to be a Chinese highbinder
and leader of the murderous On Yiek
tong, was asked last night if ho knew
anything of the plan to kill Yee On,
a member of the Yee tong, who was
murdered in Oakland yesterday, he
became greatly excited, Jim Sing,
the interpreter, was called.
When the interpreter appeared,
Len Fook Non went into a verbal
eruption, the burden of his song, ac-
cording to Jim Sing, being that tie
was entirely innocent of everything
charged against him. He denied that
he was a member of the On Yiek
tong, or that he was iu any way im-
plicated in ine recent Oakland mur-
ders. In fact, he denied everything
that he was accused of and a few
things of which he wasn’t. He almost
denied that he was even a China-
man.
When i he name of Yee On, the mur-
dered Chinaman, was mentioned,
Nen's face became very white, that
is, as whiie as a yellow man’s face
can get, and the way he began to
hand out denials reminded one of the
railroad president immediately after
the report of a big wreck on the
road.
Nen said that he left Oakland be-
cause wages were too low and that
he was on.bis way to New York, hav-
ing merely stopped over in El Paso
a few days to accommodate the im-
migration officials. Nen said tha’
Oakland is a very nice place but that
*if he were released he would not go
back there.
if word is received from ihe offi-
cials at Oakland that Nen is wanted
at iha place, he will be sent back.
If he is not wanted he will be de-
ported.

ASHINGTON, Dec. 11.—Disquieting news received from Nicaragua
at the state department today that there is danger of an attack
by President Zelaya’s forces being made on Bluefields, where
there arc ISO Americans, resulted in orders being sent by wire-
less to the utotectcd cruiser Tacoma to proceed under full steam to Blue-
fields, there to join the Des Moinesand await further orders.
The Prairie, now at Philadelphia, has heen ordered to take aboard
700 marines under the command of Col. Biddle and steam as soon as
possible to Colon. The importance of these orders is minimized at the
state department, where it is said the Tacoma has been instructed to
look out for American interests at Bluefields.
While the destination of the Prairie is given as Colon, the fact that
she is equioped with wireless apparatus would make it very easy for
her destination to be changed at any moment.
