Wilkesbarre. Pa., CJet. 21. By a
unanimous Viva voce vote the con
vention of United Mine workers ac
cepted President Mitchell's arbitra'
tion plan shortly before noon today
Great cheers greeted the announce
ment of the result, lhe resolution
as adopted carried with it a declar
ation that the etrike is off and pro
vides for an immediate resumption
of work in the coal mines through
out the anthracite region.
President Mitchell told the conr
vention that President Roosevelt
had told him that he would call a
meeting of the arbitration commis
sion immediately after the conven
tion's acceptance of the proposition,
and Mr. Mitchell gave it a? his o
pinion that the finding of the arbi
trators would be announced within
a month. I
The end -of the convention and of
the great" strike which has lasted
five months suddenly appeared close
at hand. President Mitchell, after
the convention had given itself ov
er to heated debate for ah, hour and
a half, arose" and calmly told the
delegates that it must be appaient
to all of them that there was no
doubt whatever that the president's
proposal would be- adopted.
There had been a renewal of the
serious opposition of the steam men
and heated rjyords had - passed be
tween delegates. Explanations of
the president's proposal.' had been
made in four "languages. There
seemed to be more opposition than
ever to settlement. when suddenly
there was a break in the clouds
when a motion was put by a dele
gate down in front near the presid
ing officer.
In a clear voice the strike leader
called for a -vote on the all-important
question and instantly there
was a roar of aves. The next in
stant messengers were flying in all
directions trom the convention hall
to give the news to the world
through the newspapers. After the
strike had been declared off there
was some routine business, includ
ing the usual votes of thanks, and
then shortly before 1 o'clock the
convention adjourned sine die.

The coal roads are making prep
arations to rush anthracite to the
market a3 soon as the miners go
back to work.: The Reading alone
already has nearly lo,ooo cars side
tracked near the mines.
New York, Oct. 21. One of the
rarest operations known to surgery
the sewing up of a severed ven
tricle of a human heart has been
performed at Bellyue Hospital.
The patient was Annie Kingsley,
who . was stabbed by her husband
during a quarrel on the street. She
was thought to be dying when the
ambulance reached the 7 hospital.
The blood was pouring from a long
wound in the left ventricle, which
supplies the body with blood, while
the right pumps to the lungs. The-
surgeons knew that the flow must
be checked at once if the woman
was to be saved.
The operation was decided upon.
It was performed by two surgeons,
with i5 more looking on. The
heart was laid bare and the - surge
ons saw that the wound was very
severe. It would require six stitch
es. During intervals between the
beats of the heart the needle was
inserted six times, and the flow of
blood stopped. The wound was
carefully dressed and the surgeons
awaited the result. : The. patient
rallied rapidly and the surgeons ex
pressed the belief that she -.will ires
cover. ,
Mrs. Kingsley left her husband
three months, ago. v .Whsn.j he ; naet
her for the first time ie appealed to
her to return, to their A horned. '". She
says it was her intention: to do. so.
but she did not reply at "once, and
her husband stabbed her. She was
carried to the hospital and the bus
and ran away. lie was ' captured
a few hours later. " -"
Boisej Idaho, Oct. 20. Miss Al
exia Mueller, the , sweetheart and
betrothed wife of Jim Younger, the
noted outlaw, who committed em
cide in St.': Paul " Saturday
has been in "Bjise about three
months, and has been living at the
home of Mrs. French, Sixth and
State streets. The news of the sui
cide was; secured by her from news
paper dispatches, but later a dis
patch was received from her sister,
annouueing the tragedy. She was
deeply affected. - J
Miss Mueller intended to start
for St. Paul this morning, but met
with a disappointment. Her Bister
stated money would be sent her,
but it did net arrive, and Miss Mu
eller was obliged to remain until to
night. During the day Mies Muel
ler sent a dispatch to the authori
ties at St- Paul, saying: - -'Jim's
body ia mine; it must be cremated."
Discussing the tragedy today,
she said: ' "Jim4 wrote me under
the date of Octobor 16, stating he
had given up all hope and was out
cf work. 1 Saturday he telephoned
me: 'Don't write.' He waB driven
to this act by: his CDersecutors. I
am his wife, you know,-spiritually.
No scandal has ever attached to my
name. But before (iod he is mine
and miDe alone. My life will be to
place him right before the world. I
have wired the authorities to cre
mate his body. It wa9 his request."
The purpose of Miss Mueller m
coming to Boise was to regain her
health, which was much broken.
She had. completed her outing and
was preparing to start home m-a
short time- Mis3 Mueiler is about
30 years of age. She and Jim
Younger expected to marry this
fall or next spring. She became ac
quainted with the man during the
prosecution of prison mission work.
He attracted herj she became con
vinced he was innocent and she ac
tively interested herself in securing
his liberty. It is . apparent that
Miss Mueller rather feared that
)unger would commit suicide.
She was not surprised : when the
news came. Now that be is dead
she will attempt to set some matters
right which she alleges are wrong.
It is her claim that he was innocent
and suffered for others. From what
she says of Cole Younger, the broth
er, it is evident that Jim suffered
to shield him from punishment for
crimes not known, to the public.
She is -also incensed , against the
warden of the Minnesota . peniten
tiary, and it is apparent she intends
to make eome disclosures of alleged
wrongdoings on his part during the
time Jim was confined there. The
time has come, she : says, for the
guilty to suffer. There 13 a tale to
be unfolded and she proposes to un
fold it '. ' . J; .-.;.'
Miss Mueller is from an influen
tial family. Her father ia living
in St. Paul. She wrote a history
of the Police and Fire Departments
of St. Paul and did work , on the
Salt Lake Herald during the presi
dential campaign of 1900. She is
now writing a novel. She left this
afternoon for St. Paul. She is a
woman of independent means.

TRAPPED BY FIRE
THIRTY
LIVES PROBABLY
IN CHICAGO.
LOST
Burning of a Sugar Factory Vic
tims Were at Work on Seventh
Floor Some Jumped and
Met Death One Man
Rushing Through r
Flames Escapes.
Chicago, Oct. 21. Five men are
known to have lost their lives in a
fire which tonight partly destroyed
thn nlonf flic fill
nigut,the Glucose Sugar Refining Com
pany, situated at Taylor street: and
the Chicago River, and the list of
dead will certainly be much greater
than five, and may reach as high
as 30. The estimates run . all the
way from, that number down to 10.
Only one of the five men whoee
bodies have been recovered has been
identified. .
The fire broke out with an, ex
plosion in the drying house, which
i3 seven stories in height, and stands
close to the main building of the
plant, which is 14 stories high. A
third structure is four stories high.
The two smaller buildings were de
stroyed and the larger building was
badly damaged. The fire spread
after the explosion with suck rapid
ity that it was impossible for the
men in the upper stories of the
drying house to make their escape,
and it is. the number of men believ
ed to have been at work on the sev
enth floor that "causes the uncer
tainty in the list of dead. Some of
the employes who made their es
cape eay that there were 20 or 30,
and others say that there were not
any more that 10 at work when the
fire brofee out. Whatever the num
ber, alt are' dead. ; Fourmen leaped
from the upper floors, and all met
death. One persoD, an electrician,
who is known to have entered the
building, and was there at the time
of the fire is in the list of the dead.
He 11 r sTrfcposed to be-dead- for the '
reason that all the firemen and la
borers about the burned building
say that no man made' his escape
from the tipper floors.
The flames spread with almost
incredible rapidity, and by the time
the first cf the fire department had
arrived, the building was ablaze
from foundation to roof. It was
impossible for the firemen to make
any effective fight against the
flames, and in a short time all the
walls were down and the building,
within half an hour from the time
of the explosion, was a mass of de
bris. The fire was so hot : that at
one time it was feared the Taylor
street viaduct, acroes which access
is had to the south sede of the city,
would be destroyod, but the fire
men managed to Eave this after a
hard struggle.
The men employed in the three
lower floors of the drying house ran
for the doors and windows as soon
as they had knowledge of the fire,
and all of them succeeded in reach
ing the open air. On the third floor
one man was at work. He was cut
off from the fire ' escape by dense
smoke," that poured through the
building, and was compelled to
make a run for his Jifa down the
stairs. He burst through a masa
of flames when he reached the low
er doorway, and was badly scorch
ed. Two minutes later it would have
been utterly impossible for him to
make his escape.
The men on the seventh floor had
no chance whatever for their livee.
Several of them left the window and
crawled along the sills in an effort
to reach a place of safety, but with
the exception of two men all those
who attempted to raach safety in
this way made up their minds that
it was certain death, and went back
into the burning building. The
two men, however, remained to take
their chance of a leap, and, climb
ing upon the window ledge, they
sprang out into the air. . One of
them came straight down the great
er part of the way, but just as he
was within a short, distance of the
pavement his body swung around,
and he struck the stone wall at full
length. The other man turned ov
er and over as he came whirling
down. The bodies were horribly
mangled, and it was impassible for
any of the men who saw . them di
rectly after their jump to-identify
them in any way.
Four other men jumped from the
windows on the fourth floor. These
men Were terribly injured, and were
taken in police ambulances to the
county hospital. Two of them were
able to give their names to the police.
A fireman, working on the fifth
floor of the drying house, met ; hia
death in making a jump for a net
held by the .firemen underneath the
window where he stood. He. was
compelled to leap far out in order
to clear some obstructions on the
side of the building, and missed the
net by a yard. -His skull was
crushed and he died instantly.
Another person, who escaped with
his life, but is badly burned aDd
bruised, had better fortune in strik
ing the net when be leaped from
another part of the fifth floor. Hs
hit it squarely, but being a heavy-
man he went through - and struck
the ground with terrific force. He
was rushed to the county hospital.
where it was said he may recover.
Another man also broke through
the net but he was not badly huit.

Lee's Summit, Mo.', Oct. 22: The
body of Jim Younger, the? bandit,
who shot himself at St. Paul, arriv
ed here today, and probably will be ;
buried in the family lot tomorrow. ".
Pallbearers have been selected from
Younger's former Missouri friends,
several of whom knew him frerxi
childhood and served with the
Youngers under Quantrell. When
the coffin arrived it was seen that
many splinters bad been cut from
the pine, box inclosing it, presuma
bly by. relic-hunters, who had ' met
the funeral party at different points
along the route from the North.
Kansas City, Oct. 22. The body .,
of Jim Younger will not be cremat
ed, notwithstanding the special re- ,
quest of the dead bandit. C. 3.
Hall a cousin of the Youngers, who
accompanied the body from St..
Paul, talking to a reporter today, :
said:
"Jim never wanted to be cremat
ed. The story probably . grew out
of a line written on an envelope be-
fore he died. Hs told the newspa
per men in this note to treat him
fair and not to bum him up. . Out
of this has grown the impression
that he wanted to be cremated,"
Montreal Star. If President
Roosevelt were Premier of the Unit
ed States, and there were any guar
antee that a republican congress
would folio his "lead," his attack
upon "trusts" would make the heada
of those organizations more distinct
ly nervous. Bat President Roose
velt was in favor cf reciprocity .
with Cuba, yet Cuba did not get it.
It is a hard thing for the American
people to know when they have got
a whole party committed to a defi
nite policy. For a president to ap
peal to the people over the heada of
his party, leaders will not have
much effect, unlesB it leads to the
retirement -of the said leaders. The
day may come when our neighbors
will see that they need a truly re
sponsible government, under which
the party leaders must agree upon
a public policy, and which will, not
let a congress balk a "Premier"
without voting him out of office and
some one else in. If the . republi
cans had to follow Roosevelt or go
out of K)wer, his utterances would
have the weight of those of a Brit
ish first Minister A Canadian
