A general strike of 4,000 clerk, freight handler, nation and fapreis men on the Big Four railroad was averted when the clerki and com pany officials entered an agreement covering wages, "farming" out of work and working conditions. Announcement of the agreement was made by Garrett V. Daly, general chairman of the Brother hood of Railway and Steamship i Clerk, Freight Handlerr. Station and Express Employes, following'ati all-day conference with E. M. x Costin, general manager of the Big Four. The company granted the .em ployes vacations and Saturday half holidays. The agreement also in cluded, Mr. Daly said, a complete understanding on the matter of "farming" out of work, which the angel child,' you know, company announced several aiyp ago would be abolished as soon as the present contracts with firms now doing it expire. Walkout Averted. Chicago. July 2.1. The threatened strike of 7.3w clerks on the Chicago and Northwestern railway was fettled through the efforts of W. L, McMenimen, labor member of the ' United States railroad labor board. according to a formal announcement by J. H. Sylvester, vice president and G. A. Worrell, general chair- nun ui mc u i unit i nuuu vi ivauwajr and Steamshin Clerks. Faeight Handlers, Express and Station Em ployes. ' The settlement provides for the re. establishment of past practices on the . road tor vacations, sick leave and Saturday afternoon holiday with no deduction in pay, provided, however, there is no extra expenses to the . company involved. Three Main Issues. Three principal issues now pre vent a possible settlement of the rail way shopmen's strike, B. M. Jewell, head of the railway employes' de partment of the Federation of Labor, said in a statement. These issues, he said, are found in the refusal of , the rail executives to: (1) discontinue contract.";?- work; (2) to establish a national tord of adjustment; (3) to continue seniority rights of employes who suspended work. Pointing out that the railroad labor board has decided against the prac tice of contracting railroad work in certain cases, Mr. Jewell asserted that the Erie railroad, the New York Central and its subsidiaries, including the Indiana Harbor Belt Line, the Michigan Central, and the Big Four, .and the Western Maryland have all contracted outshop work. "Many other roads," the state ment vsaid, "have followed jhe same practice and always with the purpose and result of reducing wages, evading decisions of the labor board, degrad ing working conditions and attack ins the employes' organizations." One of Three Issues. The contract issue is the only one of the three issues on which a strike vote 'was taken, which Mr. Jewell's MateHMnt said held up a possible settlement. The other two strike issues were wages' and .working , rules, it having been virtually agreed at conferejtc.es that these matters could be submitted to the labor board for a rehearing. The senidrity and adjustment board issues have been brought up since the strike started. Appealing for national adjustment boards to decide disputes, Mr. Jewell said that the association ot rauway executives opposed such boards for the purpose of "deliberately" over loading the labor board. Employes desire one national board, the statement saia, Decausc . shop work conditions are practically, the same everywhere, uniform na tional rules having been promulgated by the labor board, Uniform inter pretation of such rules, is desirable and intermediate boards will agree i.r harmonious ruling and " regional board would impose duplication and unfair expense. i Minister Is Pemocratic Nominee for Senator Stella, Neb., July 23.

Xa matter what may happen, Evan Burrowes j Fontaine, the oriental dancer, does not believe the will every marry Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney. Once love i dead, she said in her suite at the Alexandia hotel, it can be resurrected only by a miracle , and she believes the love the once gave the young son of Mr. and Mrs. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney of New York has withered and decayed, be come but dust. 'l may love again," she said, "I hope I do soon. Hut it will prob ably be an older man than 'Sonny Whitney 1 shall love. A woman de mands much of a man stamina for instance. A man doesn't demand stamina in a woman, but a woman must have it in a man. " 'Sonny,' poor 'Sonny.' That's tht thing he lacks. Well, I guess he was, brought up wrong. 'Mamma's He can't 'call his soul hi-own. He's weak, wishy-washy. Ah, if he had been different." . -, Knows Nothing of Suits. Miss Fontaine said she knew noth ing about the two suits that had been started in New York involving young Whitney's promise to marry her, and the paternity of her 19-months-old boy. whom she calls Cor nelius Vanderbilt Whitney, jr., and "Sonny." , Miss Fontaine, dirsct descendant of Patrick Henry, and of Dr. Lansing Burrows of Virginia, one of the celebrated leaders of the Episcopal church in America, is 23. She is tall and lissome. Her' eyes are large, dark-brown, round. Her hair is black-brown. She has just returned from Cata lina and her forearms are sunburned. v "I've been having the grandest time," she said. r'Wt caught a sword fish weighing 300 pounds and a lot of albacore.

He pulled us for miles until he got tired. It was wonderful. Talks About Boy. "I wish I had stayed over there a little longer," she said wistfully. "Then the reporters wouldn't have found me. I had my mail forwarded to a friend, and I told this friend he was to say I might have gone to Mexico. But it did not work." She laughed a little, and talked about her boy. He looks a good deal like his grandfather Harry Payne Whitney," she said, "but he has my mouth. He's a darling. I'm going to make a prize fighter out of him. You ought to see the way he doubles up his fists and how hard he hits. . Reporters Camp on Lawn. Miss Fontaine has just spoken with friends in New York. "They tell me," she says, "that the newspaper men haVe come and pitched tents on mamma's lawn and brought provisions for a siege. They even swiped the milk bottle from the "hack porch. And mamma and the baby are staying inside." Miss hontaine declines to discuss the lawsuits. She rays he does not know anything about them. She is willing to abide by the' advice of her lawyer, Edward. Brackett.

(By A. P.) The permanent court of arbitration assembled'at the Carnegie peace palace to decide the shipping dispute between the United States and Norway, arising from, the requi sitioning of Norwegian ships built in America during the war. Though millions of dollars and important points of international law are in volved in the dispute, Norway en trusted the presentation of its case to American lawyers. A large number of Americans came to The Hague for the opening of the court, which is organized in a manner similar to the court which heard - the Anglo-American fisheries dispute in 1910. It is not to be con fused with the permanent court of in ternational justice, which is an out growth of the league of nations. There are three judges, Chandler P.

Mm Um4 Wtaa, New York, July 23. Evan Bur rows Fontaine will now fight to the last of her strc-igih and her money for the fufurc of her 19-monthi-oM son, Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney, named after young "Sonny" Whit ney, who is alleged to be the child's father. At the Whitney residence. spokesman who refused his name, consented, over the telephone, to transmit to Harry J'ayne Whitie the menace in which the Tribune ol fcred to reprodeVc any denials of stated fact- he wished to make. "Mr. Whitney appreciates the offer," came the answer, "but will not have anything to say today. At Los Angeles Evan first admitted, with a smile, that she has been aware that the friendship between "Sonny" Whitney and Marie Norton would re- ...I ! . I .1.. A suit in me recently announced en gagement of the couple. "I met Miss Norton once," she said, "and she impressed me as a very charming person. "I am in tn sence undeceived by the confirmation of the fact that 'Sonny' and Miss- Norton are to marry. I decided long ago sensi bly, I think to dismiss Whitney from my mind. It was a struRsle but I did it. So anger and desire for revenge will have nothing to do with the legal action which my law yers are now preparing. . - Tells of "Farewell." A more dramatic meeting .took place a month ago on the day of the American Henly intercollegiate boat races in Philadelphia. . Evan told of this encounter, which she called "the farewell." "Sonny" Whitney took part in' the races as "bow" of the second Yale crew, and EVan, knowing this in ad vance, planned every detail of the mute interview. She motored down to, Philadelphia from her home in Kew Kardejis, Long Island, on the day of the races, sitting at the wheel of her car. She calculated to the second her arrival at the boat house from which the Yale rowers took the water and ap plied her brakes just as the crew lowered their shell into the water. "My heart was . pounding," she told, "till I thought it would stop. This astonished me, because I thought I had subjugated my emo tions. I saw 'Sonny" and thought of the child I had left at home at play in the garden a small image of his father. "When the men took up their oars they had to lift their heads and face me. I had chosen my position for this. I got out of the car somehow, but I nearly fell to the ground. Got Grey in Face. "Theh 'Sonny' saw me. I won't for get that second, ever. He just got grey in the face and wilted. - I've seen prize fights and he ac.ted just like a fighter who goes ' down slowly from a blow in the stomach. "I had confused thoughts and Sen sations. I can't tell what made me do any of the things?.! did that day. Certainly my actions" had no motive. I climbed back into the car and drove off inland and came up to the start mg line just before: the 'Yale crew swune into position, rew people were about. The big interest of the day had been m the varsity race, which was over. "'Sonny' was looking for mei When he saw me this second time his head went down over his ears and he stayed in that position until the starting pistol was fired.. Some how he responded to the signal and rowed. . , , "But the Yale crew was. very badly beaten. "I think it was the emotions of that day which filially cured me. I have been able to dismiss 'Sonny' from my mind since. Demanded, Satisfaction. When Evan's mother, Mrs. Flor ence Burrows-Fontaine, became cer tain two years aco that her datfgh ter's affair with "Sonny" had become serious, she summoned to New York her father, Judge Burrows, and Mrs. Burrows. The elderly southerner, once he was in possession of Evan's story, re solved on a characteristically Virgin ian course of action. He brought out an old civil war pistol and demanded to know where he could meet "the young man.". It took the women the whole of one night to turn the judge's mind from ideas of putting in force the "unwritten law." .

Christmas Island, a little patch of land in trie Indian ocean which tc distinguished chiefly by its pretty name, will be a busy place for a few minutes next September 20, and from this activity may come many startling announcements of a scien tific nature. Astronomers have calculated that Christmas island will be one of the few spots on the earth over which the sun ill be totally eclipsed Sep tember 20 for a full six minutes by the clock. Science, which computes its time by such vast periods as "light years," is preparing, however, to make quite a fuss over, this in. significant six minutes. A German fcientitic expedition. headed by Dr. Erwim Freundlich Finley of Potsdam university, is now on the way to Christmas island with large number of delicate instru ments by which it hopes to make a thorough test of the Einstein theory of relativity. If Jupiter Pluvius does not withhold hut rain, however, their long journey will have been in vain. Eclipse Permits Test Accomoanvinsc Dr. Freundlich Finley are Dr. Joseoh Honmann. of Bonn university; Prof. August Kopff. of Heidelberg and Dr. F. Voute of the University of Batavia. The ex pedition has been arranged by the international Astronomical society, supported" by Dutch and German capitalists. - The equipment to be used in the tests consists of two of the most modern photographic telescopes, one of which is 3.60 meters lona- and the other &S0 meters. Eight or 10 photo graphs will be taken during the brief six minutes. The test of the Einstein theorv of light curvature decided upon by this expedition is possible only when the sun, is completely eclipsed. Thus its practicability is sharply defined. Predicts Ebert's End. President Ebert of Germanv is facing a bad end, which is due to occur within the present year, ac cording to his horoscope, which has just been announced by an astrol oger whose name toerstuie is strikingly like that of the nation s chief executive. This same prophet claims to have read a message from the stars last June 'foretelling the murder of Foreign Minister Rath- enau. Ebertine, in making the horoscope public, says that it bears a remark able similarity to the astrological conditions that prevailed "over the former German empire at the exact hour when William I was proclaimed emperor of Germany ati2:lS o'clock on the afternpon of January 18, 1871. The astrologer warns the president that he should be exceptionally cau tious during the coming months in all his undertakings, and decrees. Witness in "Hammer Murder" Under Guard Los Angeles, July 23. A new statement was obtained by the sher iff's office from Mrs. Peggy Caffee, eyewitness of the slaying of Mrs. Alberta Meadows on July 12, and Mrs. . Caffee was assigned a specjal guard by the sheriff. The guard, a woman, will stay with Mrs. Caffee until Mrs. Clara Phil lips, who is alleged to have killed Mrs. Meadows with a hammer, is brought to trial. In the statement it ' was an nounced, Mrs. Caffee declared that Mrs,. Phillips, while delivering the hammer blows which, she asserted, took the life of Mrs. Meadows, used unprintable language ahd said: . "I am going to kill you." Secretary of Labor Optimistic on Strike (CswstasiH fram Fas Aa.t that his conferences with ' Mr. McMenimen and the labor heads were oat so much lo formulate peace measures as to become thoroughly informed regarding the dirnutr, at the labor board does not come under the jtyitdiction of his department. Seerelary Davis said that he ex pected to leave for Washington Sun day or Monday and if not until Monday, expected to meet labor board members at Chicago, Monday morning. He said a complete report of the conferences would be mads to the president upon his return to Washington. Harding and Hooper Confer. Washington, July 22. President Harding spent eight hours in. close study of the railroad strike titua tion, but when his activities were concluded there vwas not the slight est intimation concerning conclu sions reached or possible course of admiuictration action. Ben W. Hooper, chairman of the railroad labor board, was the presi dent's chief informant, but a part of the time Senators Cummins of Iowa. Watson of Indiana and Kellogg of Minnesota, alt republican members of the senate interstate commerce committee, were closeted with the president and Mr. Hooper. Later, also, Senators Underwood and Pom erene, democratic members of the same committee, saw the president. Mr. Hooper save the president a full account of every move that had been made by the labor board since the shopcrafts men walked out, July 1. and further a view of the positions taken by the strike leaders and thej executives ot tne rauroaas, wun whom the board has dealt. New Laws Necessary. There was no discussion concern-, ing the enactment of legislation, sena torial participants insisted, and rresi- dent Harding was represented as be lieving that a i;ew law would be un-1 necessary and unhelpful fdr the mo-1 ment. The question oi seniority I rights was again held to be the chief stumbling block to the return of the men, railroad executives largely in sisting that strikers had lost thei relative service positions in etflploy ment by striking, and the union lead ers contending that employes taken on in their places should be dis missed. Suggestions that the president in tended to take action in the rail strike without reference to the labor board were made after the session, but apparently without official sanc tion. There also were inferences that Chairman Hooper might be carry ing back to Chicago some new sug gestions on which, tentative nego tiations in an endeavor to get the strike called off, might be resumed. Participants, however, were unwilling to discuss any phase of possibilities that the White House discussion revealed. Complain of Equipment. x Complaints that engines and cars, because of the shopmen's strike were getting in poor order and pos sibly in a -condition dangerous for the trainmen to operate, were pre sented to Senator Cummins, by a committee of legislative agents repj resenting' the "big four" brotherhood. The committee also presented a writ ten petition, reinforced by oral ar guments in a conference with Sena ator Cummins lasting nearly three hours, urging repeal of all labor pro visions in the transportation act and restoration of the voluntary arbitra timi plan of the former Erdman and Newlands laws. Senator Cummins was told by his visitors thst they were receiving in creasing reports of "bad order" en tities and rolling stock because ol the alleged lack of experienced shop men. The brotherhood statements were regarded in some quarters at the development of ff further serious complication in the' shop strike, which might rause additional suspen sions of transportation through en gineers, the statement said, refusing lo take out engines regarded as dan gerous. Novena Closes ' WithHighMass Archbishop Harty Praiset the Work of St. Mary Magda lene and Its Pastor. Solemn high mats and benediction at 10 yesterday morning closed the novena which has been conducted by Rev. I. Grolle in St. Mary Magdalene church, Nineteenth and Dodge streets, daily for the last nine days. Archbishop J. J. Harty was present upon the throne. The mass was cele brated by Rev. F. G. Latsch. assisted by Rev A. Ziesel and Rev L. Main zer. Father Isidore of Conception, Mo., and father Grolle were deacons. Leo Franz, a seminarian, was master of ceremonies. Father Grolle, in a short sermon, said the novena had been one of the most successful ever held here. About 300 attended the services every eve ning. Archbishoo Harty praised the work of St. Mary Magdalene church and its pastor, Father sinne, who is now in Europe on leave of absence. "This churcjj does as much work as any other two parishes in the citv." said the archbishop, "and we ought to show our appreciation by helping Father sinne reduce his dcDt by at least one-third."

Walsh Defends Manufacturers' Stand on Tariff Senator Sayi Claitni That Proposed Duty on Wool Will Increase Price of Cloth ing Juotified, Oats ha Ilea Las4 Wire. Washington. July 2J. Ctaimt of clothing manufacturers that the pro posed duty on wool will mean uh ttantial increases in the cost of cloth ing are justified, Senator Walsh. Massachusetts, who is in charge of the democratic fight on the wool schedule, declares in a statement which deals with the effect of the duty ran the public is supplemental to the opening speech on the scnenuie mane by Senator Walsh Saturday In the senate. Senator Walsh quotes from a re cent report of ffle tariff commission to the effect that the cost of the duty on raw wool will amount to from $1.62 to $2.85 on a suit of clothes and from $2.56 to $5.60 on an overcoat Senator Walsh bases his computa tions on these figures, which he says are extremely conservative, rather than accepting those of clothing manufacturers who have estimated that the duty will cost the public $4 on a suit of clothes and $7.50 on a heavy overcoat. In arriving at the sum of $200,000. 000 as the cost of the raw wool duty to the public, Senator Walsh uses the tariff commission's estimate that the duty of. 33 cents per pound on the clean content of wool, which is im posed under the McCumber bill, will amount to 93 cents per pound by the time it reaches the consumer. Senator Walsh's exact total is $195. 300,000, which is somewhat less than an estimate made by .the Carded Woolen Manufacturers sssociation. which he quote.fi. that the cost to the public will be $310,284.000.
