Coonan will repre sent the interests of the territory to be traversed by the proposed road. The Idea is to reimburse the Harriman interests for the expense incurred in pro ceeding with the construction of the road at the present time and having to sell bonds for about 95. To make up the difference between 95, the probable sell ing price, and par, the price wanted, would cost S400.000. It is also possible that the road will accept $18,000 a year for 20 years -instead of a lump sum. Harriman Agent Goes East. SEATTLE. April 2. J. r.

April 2 -President Gom pera. of the American Federation of La bor, defended the. use of the boycott to day before the New York Council of tho ....,.. i,,c reaerauon. Addresses by Professor Frederick J. Stimson, of Har vard, and Professor John Bates Clark of Columbia, stirred him to speak. Professor Stlmson referred to the re cent proceedings agulnst Mr. Gompers and others in Washington. "A blacklist Is unlawful," he said, "but a 'white list.' which commends, is law ful. In the Gompers case there was a proved combination by a number of per sons to Influence the public not to trade with a stove company. If this announce ment regarding tha store company had been printed once It would be fair to assume It a matter of news, but printed In every number for years, with the an nounced Intention of doing- so In all newspapers possible, for the purpose of coerclngr the stove company, most jury men would decide that those facta showed a, primary Intention to molest the stove company." Mr. Gompers said in reply: "l m not lawyer, and the quibbling f tbe lawyers as to the legality or ille gality of certain acts by labor organisa tions la not for me to deal with. But as to what is fundamentally right, I think I am qualified to peak. If the laws do not properly safeguard the fundamental right; of the laborer, then they should be changed. I know that labor has the right to organize to protect what it pos sesses, which is the power to work, or to give or refuse Its patronage." OAXADIAX STRIKE IS GENERAL : All Except Crows Nest Collieries Are Now Involved. " hWIN'IPE3, ApriI 2 The coal strike in the -W estern Canada mines became gen eral today. All of the camps except one or two are affected. The miners want the same terms aa those given the Crows 3Sst Pass Coal Companys employes. This company withdrew from the opera - tors conference and made its own terms -with its men. It is understood that the Canadian Pa- clfic Railroad has been preparing for the r strike and has coal all over Its system At Lethbrldge, 10.000 tons of coal are dumped on the prairie near the tracks. All of the camps in District No. 18. cover ing Eastern British Columbia and the Province, of Alberta, are affected by the strike with the exception of the camps of the Crows" Nest Pass Coal Company, at Fertile, and Carbonado, the Maple Leaf r. Company, of Bellevue, and Canada West. t Tabor, who have broken away from the Western Coal Association.

President Sherman's order to strike waa a surprise to the mlneowners. At a recent ' conference at McLeod an agree ment was reached by the miners and op erators which was submitted to a vote the- miners. The referendum carried by a good majority. . Tho Crows Nest Pass Coal Company, -which withdrew from last week's con ference, made fin agreement with its men more favorable to them than that reached by the conference. When this became known Sherman endeavored to .equalize the schedules, but without suc cess, hence the breaking of the agreement with the operators. Miners at Fernie and Michel are not affected by Sher man's orders, and are in operation. JIVILDERS SEEK INJCXCTIOX Would Forestall Strike In Chicago by Means of Court Order. CHICAGO.

ROSE ELLA SELBV, OF OAKLAND, CAL, off with about J200.000. Pending the set tlement of the estate, Mrs. Baldwin is to receive a liberal family allowance. Left Widow Small Share. Upon the death of Baldwin It was found that he had left most of his es tate to his two daughters. Mrs. Mc Claughry, wife of A. J. McClaughry, as sistant postmaster, and Mrs. Stocker, of Arcadi-t. The estate is said to be worth between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000. To his widow he bequeathed a third interest in the Baldwin Annex property, which ad Joins, the Flood building. This interest was valued at $300,000. To Mrs. David Selby 200 acres of land were left. Other bequests of property, amounting to 240 acres, were maJe in the will. Contest Was Threatened. The will was offered for probate on Slarch 3, and dissatisfaction on the part of Mrs. Baldwin was soon apparent Shortly after the burial of Baldwin his widow retained Garrett McEnnerney. and steps to start a contest were begun. A handsome allowance was one of the first demands of the widow. In case her demands were - refused. Mrs. Baldwin threatened to throw the estate into liti gation that it would take years to end. But trouble for the heirs has cropped up at another point. David S. Selby, husband of Mrs. Rose Selby, who, under the will, is admitted to be a legal daugh ter, says that the compromise effected by the other heirs has not been agreed upon by his wife. Under the will 8he was to receive J50.000. which is not provided in the compromise, and he save that a sutt will be brought immediately unless she is cared for. Mrs. Selby Will Contest. "All preparations," said . Mr. Selby. have been made to contest the Baldwin will to the bitter end if Mrs. Selby is not given her full share. The fact that Mrs. Lillian Baldwin's claim has been adjusted does not affect. Mrs. Selby's ef forts In the "slightest manner. The at torneys for the sisters who got tho bulk of the estate have been In consultation with us for the past two weeks in an effort to compromise Mrs. Selby's claims. They have not as yet arrived at a de cision. Should they fail to agree a gi gantic contest will follow. "Mrs. Selby's rights to an equal share of the Baldwin estate are conclusive beyond a doubt. She has in her pos session all the documentary evidence to prove that her mother was a woman of refinement and of a prominent fam ily and the legal wife of Baldwin. If a compromise is not effected Mrs Selby will show the exact reasons why her father did not carry out his constant promise that she would get an equal share of his fortune." Mrs. Baldwin has been living at the Fairmont since the funeral of "Lucky" Baldwin. She refused to discuss the settlement. "I am not at liberty to say just what Mrs. Baldwin will receive under the set tlement." said Mr. McEnemey today, "but it will be much more than under the will. She Is also to receive a family allowance while the estate Is being set tled up."

CURE ALL INDIGESTION PROMPTLY rive Minutes After Taking Some Diapepsin All Tour Stomach Misery Will Vanish. The question as to how long you are going to continue a sufferer from Indi gestion and Stomach trouble is merely a matter of how soon you begin taking iapepeln. If your Stomach is lacking in diges tive power, why not help the stomach to do Its work, not with drastic drugs, but a re-enforcement of digestive agents, such as are naturally at work in the stomach. People with weak Stomachs should eat IMapepsin after meals, and there will be no more Indigestion, no feel ing like a lump of lead In the stom ach, no heartburn. Sour risings. Gas on Stomach or Belching of undigested food. Headaches, Dizziness or Vomit ing, and. besides, what you eat will not ferment and poison your breatb with nauseous odors. All these symp toms resulting from a sour stomach and dyspepsia are generally relieved five minutes after eating one Triangule of Diapepsin. Go to your druggist and get a 60 cent case of Pape's Diapepsin now and you will always go to the table with a hearty appetite, and what you eat will taie good, because your stom ach and Intestines will be clean and fresh, and you wiil know there are not going to be any more bad nights and miserable days for you.
