TO THE MEETING
(Continued Front Page One.)
prosposal to concede the eight-hour
day, regular time for over-time and
have a commission appointed by con
gress to investigate the collateral is
sues. Hale Holden, president of the Bur
lington, acted as spokesman for the
railroad leaders. It was agreed in
advance that the railroad officials
would listen to President Wilson's
presentation of his plan a.nd the rail
road presidents should return to their
, Jjanel to hold a meeting and decide
'iron tneir action.
Roads for Arbitration.
The railroad presidents want arbi
tration under the Newlands act with
two arbitrators for roads, two for the
men and two for the public. The dis
position of many of them was said to
day to be to insist upon action of that
character and not yield to President
Wilson's plan for an eight-hour day
unless it comes before an arbitration
board. Some of the presidents are
said to feel the public will support
their offer to arbitrate everything in
dispute. Some others, however, were
of the opinion that if President
Wilson chooses to exercise his power
and refuses to press the men for ar
bitration, it will be difficult for the
railroad presidents to continue oppo
sition to his plan.
Long Discussion by Men.
After the employes' meeting had
been in session for an hour one of
the leaders came out and said senti
ment for the president's proposal was
by no means unanimous, but no or
ganized opposition to the plan had
appeared. Most of them thought the
proposition good in the main, but a
number objected to it.
"There are about 500 men in there
clamoring for a chance to speak,"
said the leader who came out, "and
if they are heard, as many of them
doubtless will be, there is no telling
when we will get a vote."
W. L. Chambers of the federal
mediators went to the men's hall at
the request of brotherhood officials
to explain some of the features of the
situation. He went into executive
session with the heads of the four
brotherhoods on the subject of over
time. In the men's meeting the leading
objection to President Wilson's plan
was that if it were accepted without
extra pay for overtime the men de
manded, the railroads would contend
that the sole purpose of the men was
to obtain more money and not to get
the eight-hour day.
Wilson Prepares Statement.
During the morning President Wil
son prepared a statement reviewing
the negotiations and explaining why
he chose the plan of settlement
based on the eight-hour day. The
statement probably will be given out
later.
Among the railroad executives who
arrived this morning from Chicago
were: R. H. Ashton, Chicago &
Northwestern; C. H. Markham, Illi
nois Central; H. R. Kurrie, Monon;
W. J. Jackson, Chicago & Eastern
Illinois; M. J. Carpenter, Chicago,
Terre Haute & Southeastern; M. W.
Potter, Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio.
Several other railway executives
are expected to arrive from bt. Louis
this' afternoon.

(Continued From Yesterday.)
"What is it that you would talk of
then?" she asked softly.
"Of yourself," he whispered, and
bent over her. Closer and closer he
bent, his eyes ablaze. As though
charmed by him, she put her arm
about his neck and drew him down
until his head rested upon her breast,
while her other hand, drawing from
its place of concealment the freshly
whetted knife, crept slowly upward
upup until the glitter
ing blade was poised above his broadcloth-covered
back. Then, just as he
pressed his lips against hers in a
burst of emotion, she brought it down
with all the strength of her arm,
burying theb lade to the very hilt be
tween his shoulders.
"You she-devil!" he gasped, at
tempting to gain his feet, but with
to Flanders." TU Road tm Glary," "Viva la

one arm about his neck she held him
firmly down while with the other she
drove the long, keen blade again and
again into his body. Then, her work
accomplished, she flung him, dying,
to the floor. Quick as thought she
was kneling beside him and, thrusting
her hand within his blood-soaked
vest, she drew out the long, blue-barreled
automatic which he carried,
gambler fashion, in a sling beneath
his armpit. Cocking the weapon, she
paused only long enough to pick up
the book which Carrillo had tossed
to the floor, and then moved on tip
toe toward the door. Tied to a tree
a few rods away was Carrillo's chest
nut mare, ready saddled. But as she
darted toward the animal a heavy
hand fell upon her shoulder and she
whirled about to find herself staring
full into the evil countenance of Jose.
And in his face she read suspicion.
Without an instant's hesitation she
raised the pistol and shot him through
the heart. The crash of the explosion
brought two other figures running
toward her in mad haste; the first
was the ruffian Manuel; the other
was Morton. As the bandit came
within range she again raised her
weapon, took careful aim, and fired.
The bullet struck him in the stomach
and with a scream of pain he stopped,
whirled about, stumbled a few paces,
and fell headlong.
"What's happened?" called Morton.
"Where's Carrillo? Where did you
get the gun?"
"I've killed him!" she gasped. "I
stabbed him with a table knife
and I've learned where to look for
the secret of the submarine I" hold
ing up the book.
"Great heavens!" he ejaculated,
"where did you find it?"
"In the cave," she answered. "One
of Carrillo's men " but she was
interrupted by a shot and the whine
of a bullet passing overhead. The
rest of the bandits, aroused by the
two shots she had fired, were running
toward them.
"Quick!" cried Morton, imperative
ly, "give me the gun. I'll stand
them off while you get on the horse
then I'll get up behind you
and we'll make a break for it."
In obedience to his command she
handed him the weapon and turned
to untie the horse. As she did so,
Morton caught her by the throat,
wrested from her grasp the precious
volume, hurled her to one side, and
sprang into the saddle.
"You fool," he snarled savagely,
"do you think I intend to let you
get the formula?" and, striking his
heels into the horse's flanks, he
thundered across the little valley,
leaped the brook, and, to an accom
paniment of shots and oaths from
the bewildered outlaws, dashed
through the fissure in the rock and
disappeared.
So astounded were the bandits by
Morton's melodramatic escape, and so
intent were they on his capture, that
thev failed to observe Olga, who,
aided by the twilight which was now
at nanu, snppcu irom tree tu tree
and from rock to rocks until she
gained the hssure which was the only
exit from the valley. As, tottering
from weariness and exhaustion, she
slowly made her way down the moun
tainside in the gathering darkness,
she was spurred on by hatred and
the hope for vengeance.

Testimony of Two Reputable
Witnesses of Des Moines, Iowa
The First Witness:
Extract from an editorial which appeared in The Des Moines
Evening Tribune oi Jnne 6, 1916 i
"The Evening Tribune has asked a
i - half dozen men recently who ought to
know, and they agree that liquor can
now be bought openly at more placet
than when we had taloont."
The Second Witness: -
Extract irom a news article, prominently displayed on the
first page of The Des Moines Capital of February 19, 1916.
"Des Moines banished the saloons a
year ago last Wednesday.
"But Des Moines today is consuming
liquor at the rate of a million dollars'
worth a year mostly whiskey. ,
"Des Moines is receiving two car
loads of liquor a day.
"This is at the rate of 750 carloads
a year or fifteen trainloads of fifty cars
each.'
Here we have the testimony of two responsible Iowa newspapers that
Statewide PROHIBITION does not prohibit.
In Nebraska, under our Local Option, Hijh License Law, the people of any
community are granted an opportunity to say whether or not license shall
be issued governing the sale of alcoholic beverages.
In future articles we will present evidence proving that Nebraska, under
that law, has made great progress from a moral as well as from an eco
nomic standpoint.
