TITE MOKXIXG OREGOXIAX. "WEDNESDAY, APRIL, 1, 190S. t T 250,000 MEN IDLE Suspension of Coal-Mining in Middle West Almost General. SOME STATES EXCEPTED Western Pennsylvania, Ohio and II linola Mnt Affected-lndiana, Kentucky and Southwest Mines AViil Continue Operations. INDIANAPOLIS. March 31. Two hun-dn-il and fifty thousand picks dropped from the hands of as many bituminous coal miners of the United States this afternoon, cot to be used again until a wage settlement has been reached be tween the members of the United Mine Workers of America, and the coal ope rators. Tomorrow 250.00U men will be idle and thousands of coal mines of the coun try will be deserted. The situation, however, does not indi cate a prolonKed strike. An open Winter and industrial depression have left a large stock of coal on hand, and the dif ferences between the miners and ope rators are very slight. It is practically agreed that the present wage scale Will be continued, but some politics in connec tion with the change in the National of ficers of the miners' organization and local difference betsreen operators and miners have resulted in temporary sus pension of work until a new wage scale J agreed to either by districts or indi vidual miners. rnlt System Broken I p. VirtU two years ago the bituminous coal mining scale of the country was based upon an agreement reached In the cen tral competitive field, consisting of Illi nois, Ohio. Indiana and Western Penn sylvania, considered as a unit. This unit system was broken two years ago, when President Mitchell signed a scale with Pittsburg operators, who agreed to pay the scale demanded after operators of the other three states had refused, and the miners won their fight in consequence. Operators signed the scale individually throughout the country. Since that time the miners have tried to get bacX the unit or Interstate agreement, but operators In Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois, after negotiating all the past Winter, have refused to meet in Inter state convention with the miners. Kettle by Districts. As a last resort. Mr. Mitchell called the miners in National convention, and dis trict settlements were authorised with the present wage scale as a minimum, and, falling to agree by districts, miners were authorized to sign the separate scale with operators Individually. Vice-President Lewis, who will succeed Mr. Mitchell as president tomorrow. Is endeavoring to revive the Interstate unit rule. Tn thu meantime district joint meetings are being held in the various states. ( No Shutdown In Southwest. KANSAS CITY, Mo., March 3L--A shutdown of the coal mines of the South west may be avoided by an agreement between the Southwest Interstate Coal perators' Association and the Western Mlneworkers. James Elliott, president of the Operators' Association, stated that a meeting would be held with representa tives of the miners probably before Mr. IKlllott leaves Kansas City, wlileh will not be for two days. o Suspension In -Indiana. TRRRR HAUTE, Ind., March 31. It was agreed today by the joint conference of Indiana miners and operators that present wages shall continue after today, pending a settlement of a scale. This means there will be no suspension In this state tomorrow. Information reached the Joint meeting tuday that work would cease In Ohio pending a wage settlement. Keject Interstate Agreement. PITTSBURG, Pa.. March 31. At a con ference of the coal miners and operators of this district today a request that the miners support a joint conference to re new the interstate agreement was de clined unanimously. All the mines, em ploying 30,000 men, shut down tonight un til a district scale is arranged. Will Suspend In Colorado. PE.WJER, March 31. All contracts be tween the United Mlneworkers of Amer ica and the operators of the Northern Colorado lltoilte Holds expired today. Borne operators declare they wm close the mines before they will grant the de mands for an Increase in wages running from 10 to 25 pr cent Kentucky Mines Will Kin. IjOUISVELLB, Ky., March 31.

Several persons were seriously injured in a riot which broke out at the Inland Steel Mills In Indiana Harbor, Ind., yesterday between 600 Hungarians, Lithuanians and Rouman ians. For several hours the police were unable to disperse the mob. Reserves -were cnjled out from Rast Chicago, and five arrests were made. Three hundred Hungarians and Lithuanians, discharged from the mills during the financial panic, and who had failed to secure work when tho plant was reopened, attacked the Roumanian employes as they left the company's grounds. Bricks and stones were used as weapons. When the police charged the crowd, the Hungarians at tacked them. Sergeant Bowen was struck and slightly Injured by a thrown brick. Thread-Mills Cut Wages.

HEARST FAR FROM MAYOR (Continued FTora First Face.) verse propositions to fight at once, and the battle that ensued was a technical wonder. Any court that did not have some phase of the Mayoralty matter be fore it every week bad reason to feel it had been treated with scorn. The recount law was declared uncon stitutional after numerous involved pro ceedings. Then both sides concentrated tbelr efforts on the quo warranto phase of the case. Legal Battle Royal. First McClellan pleaded that Jackson had no right to bring such an action. The battle raged from court to court. At last the Court of Appeals decided In the Attorney-General's favor. Then McClellan's lawyers demanded bills of particulars, a complete synopsis of each kind of fraud that was alleged in each district where the boxes were to be opened. This matter traveled leisurely from court to court, until finally the highest tribunal decided that any district where either side simply alleged crook edness came within the scope of the in vestigation. This seemed to settle the matter, and the case was referred back to the Supreme Court for trial, it having been on the calender for over a year. Within the past few days a number of minor Issues, such as whether a "special Jury" is a "struck, jury" should try the case, who should pay the expenses, and the mode of procedure have been hunted un and disDosed of. Now unless some new legal kink develops the real work will begin next month, nearly two years and a half after the election. Not In recent years. If ever, have the ballots In an election been preserved for such a period of time. Where the Boxes Are Stored. "It has been so long since they were put away I have almost forgotten about the ballot boxes," said secretary ,nanes B. Page of the board of electioas when asked about the matter. He had to hunt through his files to secure the necessary information. "The ballots cast In three boroughs in 1905. Manhattan, the Bronx end Queens." he said, "are In the custody of the Man hattan Storage & Warehouse Company, Fifty-second street and Seventh avenue; the Brooklyn ballots are In charge of the Eagle Warehouse & Storage Com pans. No. !S Fulton street, Brooklyn, while the votes cast In Richmond are in the vaults of the Richmond Savings' Bank on Btaten Island. "All the boxes' are securely sealed and locked In fireproof vaults, protected by a combination known only to the four members of. the board of elections. It would have been an lmiossibillty to have tampered with them." But the boxes have not been In these storage places ever since the night of election. For some days at least after the contest they were kept In the various police stations of Greater New Tork, ac cording to a custom which is probably as old as the city itself. They were then technically In the keeping of the board of elections, but really In the immediate custody of the police. Soon after the election, however. Supreme Court Justice Gaynor Issued an order that the boxes be delivered to the board of elections. Before midnight of the same day William McAdoo, then Police Commissioner, had a string of drays four or five blocks Ions', containing the ballot coxes, swung In front of the board of elections' office at Sixth avenue and Forty-first street. More Than Half-Mile of Boxes. What to do "with them was for a -w hile a puzzle to i the members of the board. finally the storage vaults were obtained and there the ballots have rested to this day. The preservation of these ballots, which was only secured after a long court fight, has cost the city a small fortune In storage fees aJoneT Some Idea of the spaces the boxes oc cupy in the warehouse may be gained by a study of these figures. There are 1948 boxes, each about two feet along and one foot deep. If put end to end they would stretch out a distance of 3896 feet, and would make a train extending the entire length of the Broadway Theater district, from Twenty-third street to Forty-second street. Placed one on top of the other the pile of ballot hoxes would be three times as high as the Singer Building tower, which is the present standard for perpendicular greatness. During the two years and a half that the ballots have been in the warehouses Hearst has kept guards at the places. They are unable to see the boxes, hut are in a position to testify that nobody else has tampered with them. At each of the three warehouses two men are on guard from 6 A. M. to 6 P. M.. while a similar force is on duty at night. In addition there are two captains, one on duty during the day and the other at night. They circulate about and see to It that their subordinates are "on the Job." The guards probably receive 316 a week. The captains at least 336. They have been on duty about 124 weeks. So here is what it has cost Hearst for the one item of guarding the ballot boxes: Twelve watches (six day and six night), at 316 a week, 3180; two captains at 35, 130. Total expense per week 3H.T0. Expenditure in 326 weeks. 328,980. Still Further Delay Possible. The continuance of the trial will be be fore a Jury, and the votes will be re counted in the presence of the jurors. Clarence J. Sheam. William R. Hearst's lawyer, says the proceedings will last one month. Other members ot theebar believe it will take at least three, and probably longe?. McClellan may be able to delay the proceedings by claiming that there Is nothing to prove that the ballot-boxes have not been tampered with. Whether after any adverse decision he can hold up the trial, pending a Vourt of Appeals rul ing, is a matter as yet unsettled. Most lawyers say he will be unable to appeal until the trial Is finished. It is safe to say that a decision In the lower court will not be reached until late In June or July. Then, if adverse, McClel lac will have the right of appeal. At that period of the year all the higher tribunals are closed for the Summer vacation. The appelate division does not reconvene until October, and with other cases ahead of It, a decision before December would be a surprise. Then the matter goes to the Court of Appeals, which would hardly act before May, 1909. As McClellan's term ends on December 31. 1900, it will be seen that a very little, delay here and there would string the matter out until he was due to become a private cltixen. no matter what the ver dict ot the ballot boxes may be. Hobart Wants to See Fleet. MELBOURNE, March 31.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., March SI. Judge Smith McPherson, tn the Federal Court here today, decided that he has full jurisdiction over both the maxi mum freight and the 2-cent passenger rate cases, in Missouri. In other words, he holds in favor of the railroads and against the state on the question of jurisdiction. Last year the Legislature passed the 2-cent law, and a minimum freight law reducing existing frelsrht rates about 26 per cent. All of th main line rail roads in Missouri joined In an applica tion for an injunction last June from the Federal Court at Kansas City to prevent the state officials from enforc ing the law. Meantime a truce was arranged between the railroads and the Attorney-General, under which the roads -were to put the 2-cent law in force. The railroads agreed to give the 2 cent law a test for three months, and ask,ed Judge McPherson to give them that much time to see how the law would affect their revenues. For seven months the railroads have sold tickets at 2 cents. Now comes the court with a decision holding that In enjoining the state officers, he is not enjoining the Btate lteelf; that he has a perfect right to go into the question of wheth er the rates fixed by the statutes are remunerative.

It is specifically provided that the reso lution shall not be so construed as to prevent civil suits for the violation of the provision. More Irish Universities.

PRESIDENT APPOINTS HILL PUTS END TO BERIIX DIPLO MATIC I-MBKOGI.IO. Change 'Will Come on Jane 1. Beaupre to Succeed Hill at - the Hague. WASHINGTON. March 31. The Presi dent today sent to the Senate the nomi nation of David Jayne Hill to be Ambas sador Extraordinary and Minister Pleni potentiary to Germany. He also named Arthur M. Beaupre of Illinois, to be Min ister to the Netherlands and Luxemburg, and Spencer F. Eddy of Illinois, to be Minister to the Argentine Republic. The President also sent to the Senate the nomination of Brigadier-General Charles B. Hall to be Major-General : Col one! John B. Kerr, Twelfth Infantry, to be Brigadier-General. The resignation of Charlemagne Tower. now at Berlin, has been accepted to taxe errect June 1. At that time In. Hill will assume his new duties. This statement, made at the White House today, is said to be taken as a happy ending of the Hill Incident. London Papers Score Kaiser. LONDON, March 31. All the London papers are now In possession of the latest phase f the Hill incident, but for the most part they refrain from comment. The Daily News, however. In an editorial says that the Emperor's whisper carries further than the thunders of other men. "It all goes to show." says the paper, "that the Emperor ought neither to write to his friends nor tallc freely at the din ner table, for he Is a man of impulsive temperament and singularly unfitted for a role where discretion is the supreme virtue." The Doily Express says: "The new diplomacy of the dinner table and ball room Is a palpable anachronism. To have It recognized that a man Is unfitted to be Ambassador unless he Is wealthy and consumed with a desire to spend on lav ish entertainments is to put back the hands of the clock of history. President Roosevelt will not be the man we take him for If he does not bring down the big stick on this particular cabal." Hill Will Accept Embassy. PARIS. March 31. While Dr. David Jayne Hill still declines to talk on the subject, there Is no reason to believe that he Intends to harbor personal umbrage and decline to go to Berlin If the Admin istration wishes htm to take the Ambas sadorship. On the contrary, there seems to be no doubt that he will abide by the decision of the Administration, as throughout the Incident he has with ab solute confidence' relied on the Justice of President Roosevelt and Secretary Root and looked to them to determine what course should be pursued. Hill Gains by the Fuss. BERLIN, March 81. The advices re ceived at the Foreign Office from Washington Indicate that In the Amer ican capital, as well as tn Berlin, the Hill episode Is regarded as having been happily adjusted. The best diplomatic opinion Is that If Mr. Hill chooses to come to Berlin he will find his position not only agreeable, but more Impor tant than would have been the case If the incident had not happened.
