‘ 3 THE WAGE DISPUTE
] New York, June B.—Representatives
of employes of the railroads of the Uni
ted States today re-entered their con
ference with the road managers, de-
Itermined to press their questions as
to where the roads stand on the wage
‘scale, the objective point of the meet
ing here. The managers yesterday de
}clined to repl to the men's querries,
‘Elisha Lee, representing the roads, ex
plaining that they were such that they
could not be answered off-hand. He
said satisfactory replies would be giv
en today. oA |
The union men declared today that
inasmuch as they have responded
frankly to questions put by the man
agers to the employes’ position in the
wage scale question, the managers
would be considered guilty of bad faith
unless they replied with equal readi
ness to the men’s queries.
ORPET JURY NOW COMPLETE.
Waukegan, 111., June 9.—With the
jury now ¢ompleted after the exami
nation of more than 1,200 veniremen
the trial of W. H. Orpet, the universi
ty student charged with the murder
last I"ebruary of his former sweetheart
Marion i.ambert, was begun today.

attorney, proposed to outline the case
of the prosecution and tell what the
state hopes to prove. It is- under
stoud the defense will reserve its
opening statement until after the evi
dence for the prosecution is com
nlete,
GEORGIA STATE DENTISTS
IN SESSION IN MACON
Macon, June S.—The Georgia State
Dental soicety opened its annual con
vention in Macon yesterday morning
3with about 120 present.
‘Many distinguished men from other
states are present at this convention,
among whom is Dr. #. Ottolengui, of
New York, who delivered a lecture
last night in the auditorium of the Ho
tel Dimpsey, this proving one of the
most interesting and instructive talks
heard. Dr. Ottolengui’'s home was
originally in South Carolina, but he
has traveled much gAd is well known
both in this country and abroad.
DID YOU HEAR?
The curse of all iustitutions, either
social, fraternal or Dbusiness, is the
idle gossip of many of those who go
to make up the individual members
of the same. “Did you hear what So
and-So said?’ How it grows from one
telling to another. “The lives of many
have been clouded by thoughtless, un
kind words,” should surely have sunk
into the solid ivory <omes of dozens
of men and women who seem to have
appreciation of the harm their idle‘
chatter may do. If it were possible
to tract back to their source and find
ihe orogin of half the ghost stories,
the final vendors would be ashamed
ot themselves and the parties respon
sible in the first place would not know
their own creation. “Be prudent in
vour converse.”—Selected. ‘
