i
Executive Have Completed Counter Pro
posal in Which They Refused to Grant Eight-
Hour Day VTithout Arbitration Congress
ed to Allow Increase in Freight Rates
(Attoeimttd Prtu ROart.)
WASHINGTON August 26. The threatened railway strike took on such
a grare aspect Saturday that President Wilson "turned toward congress for
a solution of the problem.
Suddenly during the afternoon when it became known that the railway
executives were unanimous in their refusal to accept his plan of settlement
President Wilson personally went to the capitol and laid before Majority i
Leader Kern of the senate and Senator Newlands chairman of the interstate ;
commerce committee the statement of the railway heads that congress must !
guarantee some source of added revenue if they are to meet the demands of
their employes. . -
How this should be accomplished President Wilson did not suggest.
Immediately afterward senators began discussion of proposals to have con-
gress record itself in favor of a rate Increase.
No arrangements were made Saturday for the president to address con-
Ngress on the subject but it was considered likely that hfe might do so during
the coming week if the situation continued critical.
EXECUTIVES REFUSED
TO ACCEPT WILSON'S PLANS.
Saturday night the railway executives
finished framinK their answer to Presi-
dent Wilson's plan and notified the White
House they were ready. President Wilson
sent word he would prefer to see them
Monday morninK at 10 o'efock.
The brotherhood leaders after being In
meeting most of the day adjourned until
10 o'clock Sunday morning.
Many of them left Saturday night.
The refusal of the railway executives
to accept the president's plan Including
concessions of the eight-hour day and
proposing a counter plan such as previ-
ously has been outlined will put the next
move up to the brotherhood leaders. It
piobafcly will be communicated to thera
Monday after President Wilson has heard
from the executives.
The executives held several meetings
during the day. but no change resulted
in the position they took Friday night
when they approved a rough draft of their
replx to President Wilson. It was 6:30
Saturday night when the committee of
eight which has handled the negotia-
tions announced . they had asked for a
conference with President Wilson and
awaited his pleasure. After a two hours
watt the executives announced that Presi- I
dent Wilson had informed them he would
.jarefer not to see- 41tn Vtturdar night.
The situation as summed up late at night
by those in close touch with it was this:
President Wilson has seen the published
reports of the reply the executives will
make' him Monday and docs not wish to
accept It. It would not surprise those
In the confidence of the raijroad officials
to have him make a counter proposal at
that time retaining his original proposi-
tion for an eight-hour day but offering
t!;e roads as compensation congressional
assurances of a freight rate Increase.
Among the executives Saturday night It
was evident that such a counter proposal
probably would not be accepted.
REFUSE TO GRANT
AN EIGHT-HOUR DAY.
The executives reply will be divided Into
argument and statement of their position.
The statement will show that they do
not accept the eight-hour day with pay
for 10 hours as demanded by the men;
that they maintain this demand really is
one for an increase in wages and that a
question of wage increase is a matter of
arbitration and for settlement In no other
way. It would make the arbitration re-
troactlve and tne roaas wouia pieage
themselves to create a fund to care for
back wages if Increases are appved by
the arbitrators.
Three things are cited by the executives
to back up this position. The first is that
many of the big shippers have declared
themselves opposed to an abandonment ot
arbitration and have Insisted that an
eight-hour day must not be granted. The
second is a conviction that to give In
to the men under present conditions
would undermine discipline on the roads
and would leave far reaching after effects.
The third is that no matter what assur-
ances are given they feel they can not
expect a rate increase.
BROTHERHOOD MEN
LEAVING WASHINGTON.
Brotherhood leaders said Saturday night
departure of a large number of the MO
representatives for their homes should
not be Interpreted as an Indication that
the men were breaking oft negotiations
or had abandoned hope of a settlement.
" Many more would leave Sunday the
leaders said but the heads and vice
presidents of all the brotherhoods would
remain and would have sufficient author-
ity to deal with any developments.
After President Wilson's conference
with the senators. Senator Newlands dis-
cussed the situation with Senators Rob-
inson Saulsbury Lewis and -other demo-
cratic members and Senator Cummins a
republican member of the commerce com-
mittee. Senators were reticent but the
whole situation Is said to have been laid
before the democratic senators for them
if possible to find some means of satisfy-
ing the demands ot the roads.
Regardless of the outcome of President
Wilson's negotiations It was Indicated
Saturday night that few of the brother-
hood leaders probably would remain her
longer than Monday.
GOVERNMENT OPERAtoN

The head of each organisation met with
his ' vice president Saturday night and
discussed tentative plans for a strike.
The manner In which the federal govern
ment has bean Injected Into the situation

It probably will not become operative for
about a week. The brotherhood men
while they have the right to declare a

so until the representatives leaving Sat-
urday and Sunday had talked over the
situation with the local committees.
Some of them could not reach home in
less than five days.

The first "run-off" primary in Texas came In the selection of a candidate
for the seat held by Charles A. Culberson of Dallas; and Senator Culberson
is returning as the winner. '
In the July primary Colquitt had a lead ovet' Culberson of 32177 (election
bureau figures); but the combined opposition to Colquitt was 279433. In
the August primary Colquitt (on the present figures) has lost approximately
35000 votes while Culberson has gained over his July figures some 61000.
The analysis is plain: Culberson acquired strength from the supporters oj
Brooks Campbell and Henry In the first primary. . T. j :
Although Colquitt had a plurality in 114 counties in the July primaries-
he was leading in but 23 at midnight Saturday and a number of these With
an incomplete vote were close. ;:
In all sections of the State even in that where Culberson's strength1 w$
supposed to be the least the records showed the result of the pro vote
. Bexar county has been counted upon
as a heavy Colquitt county; on the con-
trary the vote there was light and Cul-
berson has a majority of 1093. Fayette
was the banner Colquitt county.
Culberson has heavy majorities In Har-
ris Dallas Tarrant. Ellis Travis Vic-
toria Williamson Hunt Johnson McLen-
nan Anderson and other counties which
his rsjanagers has counted upon. Colquitt
confidently believed that he would receive
a heavy vote In the black land prohibition
counties but this failed him.
Governor Colquitt left the Oriental Hotel
early Saturday evening after receiving ad-
vices from various parts of the State. He
New Goal Set for Cotton in
Houston Is Almost Reached
Spots and Futures Were Forced io New High
Grounds Saturday Advanceof $5.75 a Bale
During the Week High Prices Stimulate Sales.
Sixteen cent cotton was almost a real
ity in Houston Saturday morning when
after spots had been marked up 25 points
or $1.25 per bale middling was officially
quoted at 15.75 cents per pound. This
represents an advance of 15.75 per bale
since last Saturday an a bale of mid-
dling was worth 78.75 on the Houston
market Saturday.
Futures were carried Into new high
ground also by the fair weather report
over the western belt where rain Is need
ed and by news of a hurricane over the
eastern belt bringing rains where dry
weather Is needed. A bullish condition
report from the government Is expected
next week.
Some new high records for many years
were made In several future positions.
May In New York selling up to 16.24 cents
and in New Orleans up to U.07 cents.
October In New Orleans sold up to 15.50
the highest price ever recorded for that
month. Future prices are higher now
than they have ever been at this time of
year.
Sates at Houston picked up under the
stimulus of the high prices and the record
for the day was 6779 bales to arrive 1013
bales f.o.b. and 572 bales on the spot.
Galveston sales were only 800 bales f.o.b.

DENIES JEALOUSY PROMPTED
HER TO KILL CAPT. SPRATLM
Mrs. Monk Former Nurse Advised
Officers to Search Dead Man's
Effects for letter.
(Associated Prtit Report.)
MACON Oa. August 26. While county
authorities tonight were working on the
theory that Mrs. H. C. Adams of Atlanta
was prompted by Jealousy to kill Cap-
tain' Edgar 1. Spratling of F. company
fifth regiment Friday at Camp Harris
the woman continues to deny that such
was the case. She has thus far refused
to give any motive other than that In'
dlcated In her statement of Friday to the
effect that Spratlin& In the capacity of
her physician In . Atlanta had acted
wrongly toward her.
Mrs. Maude Monk a former nurse who
was questioned Friday night by officers
ot the Fifth regiment. Saturday urged
officers to search the effects of Captain
Spratling for a letter which Mrs. Monk
stated he had received from Mrs. Adams.
Mrs. Monk asserted that In this letter
Mrs. Adams threatened the life of the
captain.
Mrs. Adams In the Jail denied that
she had written such a letter. Officers
of the regiment would not state what had
been found In the captaln"s property.
Mrs. Adams received many callers at
the county Jail during the day but thus
far her husband who has been detained
by his work has not arrived from Atlanta.

Jitney Ordinance Defeated
66 OF 89 PRECINCTS GAYE
CULBERSON 3982 MAJORITY
Vote Proved a Great Surprise to
Colquitt Adherents Who Were
Claiming Victory.
United States Senator C. A. Culberson
received a majority over former Governor
Colquitt of 3928 votes in 66 of the 89 pre-
cincts of Harris county. The vote In
these boxes was: Culberson 7032. Colquitt
3104.
The majority was even greater than the
most ardent admirers and supporters of
the senator anticipated and proved a big
surprise to the Colquitt adherents. While
the result of the election in Harris coun
ty was never In doubt the most hoperul
Culberson people did not look for such a
sweeping majority.
LARGER THAN IN
JULY PRIMARY.
With the votes already returned the
Culberson majority over Colquitt Is
larger by more than 1000 votes than it
was In the July primary. It is believed
that this majority will be Increased when
all the remaining boxes of the county
are In.
Of the 66 boxes reported Colquitt car-
ried only nine and these were ail small
boxes except one which was the only
city box carried by the former governor.
This was Third wsrd A the vote being:
Culberson 167 Colquitt 173 giving the
latter a majority of 16.
A larger vote was polled than was ex-
pected the 66 boxes showing that 10136
ballots had been cast. This number will
be Increased by probably 600 when the
other 23 boxes are returned. The total
vote for senator In the first primary was
14889 for alt five candidates. The total
vote for -Culberson and Colquitt in that
election was 10399 of which the fotmer
received 6603 votes and the latter 3786
votes.
BELIEVED RESULT
OF PRO SUPPORT.
In that election Campbell Henry and
Brooks received an aggregate of 4190
votes. The result Is taken as an indi-
cation that Culberson's Increased vote
was entirely a result of the support of the
pros.
The total vote in the city was: Culber-
son 5440 Colquitt 2362. a majority of 3178.
The country districts proved a surprise
In themselves for both the Culberson snd
Colquitt adherents. The latter had pinned
their greatest faith on tbe outlying sec-
tions and declared that If the country
people would po out and vole Colquitt
would get them. In this they were evi-
dently mistaken as shown by the results
in Harris county.
EIGHT COUNTY BOXES
FOR COLQUITT.
Only eight of the county precincts re-
ported gave Colquitt a majority. His ma-
jority in these eight precincts was only
117 out of a total of 2434 votes. On the
other hand Culberson's majority In the
country precincts so far reported was
close to TOO. His biggest proportional ma-
jority was at Cypress where he received
33 votes and Culberson received 1.

The first time fhe people Houston
were calted upon to vote' under the new
referendum law they expressed them-
selves squarely upon the Issue put up to
them and turned It down by a twp to one
vote. That Issue was the proposed Jitney
ordinance which the city council had
previously refused to adopt Not con-
tent the Jitney association took the mat-
ter to the people. The vote was 2612 for
to 5596 against the ordinance.
When the Jitney association submitted
its ordinance after months of striving to
reach an amicable ground for the Jitney
traffic the city commissioners expressed
the opinion that it did not contain the
proper features for a law to be spread
upon the code of the city.
OFGANIZED FIGHT
WAS WAGED.
When the people were made acquainted
with the provisions of the proposed law
an organized fight was made against It.
A citizen's committee was formed and
many shrapnel were hurled Into the Jitney
camp. The Jitneys returned fire and for
about tour weeks the fight raged.
The ordinance provided that a fund of
$40000 should be set aside for the pay-
ment of damages to anyone who was hurt
by a Jitney whether the Jitney was to
blame or not. Mayor Campbell in lead-
ing the fight against the ordinance said
that nothing could compel the Jitney
association to make these payments
should they be required. He pointed out
that in this Indemnity fund the associa-
tion was really going into the insurance
business without complying with the in-
surance laws of the State.
WOULD REGULATE
JITNEY TRAFFIC.
The ordinance also proposed to estab-
lish a commission to regulate the Jitney
(raffle the majority of the members of
which were to be selected by the Jitney
association and the minority by the city.
Mayor Campbell pointed out that the
adoption of this ordinance would virtually
be putting the Jitney traffic in the hands
of the Jitney association without let or
hindrance. This was the main point upon
which the ordinance was fought and lost
Mayor Campbell showed where this would
be identical with creating a gas commis-
sion or a street car commission and al-
lowing the stockholders of those com-
panies to run things to suit themselves.
