USE OF STRIKE FUND
t Matter Still Unsettled by
Miners' Convention.
LFT TO A SPECIAL COMMITTEE
Mitchell Opposes Suggestion That
All Striking; Miners Be Treated
Einllr--3lBT Be Deter
mined Today.
INDIANAPOLIS, July IS. At the con
clusion of a secret session which lasted
the entire afternoon, the recommenda
tions of President Mitchell for the man
agement of the anthracite strike were re
ferred to a special committee, which Is to
report back to the convention when it
convenes tomorrow morning. This com
mittee consists of President Mitchell,
"Vice-President Lewis, Secretary "Wilson
and the president of each district which
Us taking part In the convention.
The committee remained In session until
midnight, when It adjourned without com'
pletlng its work. It will reconvene at 9
o'clock tomorrow morning. While Its task
Is unfinished, it is practically certain that
the committee will urge the adoption of
the recommendations of President Mitch
ell and the levying upon the members of
the organization of ?1 per week in locali
ties, where there Is a check officer. It was
also decided to use all the funds to be
raised for the strikers in the anthracite
district
At the opening of the executive session
Vice-President Lewis took the floor and
delivered an energetic speech on the
amendment offered by Delegate Hasklna
in the morning to the effect that therund
to be raised for the benefit of the an
thracite miners be extended to all strik
ing miners where their strike had been
sanctioned by the general committee. He
declared that all miners could be taken
care of In like manner.
President Mitchell then took the floor
to speak for the adoption of the resolu
tions made In his speech yesterday. He
told the convention that the strikers In
"West Virginia and elsewhere were being
protected by the general organization un
der the regular assessments of the union,
but that the assessment which was under
discussion was necessary for the support
of the anthracite strike alone and should
not be diverted from Jts purpose. "It is
possible thit other strikes may come,"
ho said, "and then under the precedent
which a general distribution of the fund
to be raised would create, these latter
strikes could claim their share In the
fund and It would be so depleted as to
fall entirely" of its purpose."
He declared that the cost of maintain
ing Ftrikes varied according to places and
conditions. "In the anthracite regions,"
he said, "the country is thickly settled.
There arc mills and factories, and it is
possible for the men on strike to secure
employment. They are then no burden
on the general organization, but are even
able to help It In Vest Virginia, for In
stance, there are but two vocations for
the minor mining or farming. The lat
ter is out of the question for the greater
part of the men, if not for all of them,
and they then have no chance for em
ployment when on a strike. It costs
much more per capita to keep up a strike
in "West Virginia than In the anthracite
regions. The anthracite strike Is, In fact
the cheapest strike that we can have. It
is easier to maintain than any other, and
we should not allow It to go down to de
feat by dlvortlng the funds necessary
for t"
Mr. Mitchell assured the convention that
the strike in the Pittsburg district and
all other strikes would be looked after
without splitting up the funds for the
anthracite men, and again urged the men
to dismiss from their minds all thought
of a general strike.
Referred lo n. Committee.
His remarks were greeted with enthusi
astic cheers. A vote was taken on the
Hasklns amendment and it was voted
down by a decisive majority. Thl left
before the convention the original motion
for the adoption of the recommendations
of the president A number of amend
ments were then offered, all relating to
the manner In which the assessment
should be made. One by Mr. Ryan, of
Illinois, favored per cent of the net
earnings of the members of the union;
another, by Vice-President Lswls, 10 per
cent of the gross earnings,; and a thlid,
by Secretary Wilson, suggested thnt in
some districts the assessment should be
made on the percentage basis and In
others on a basis of 51 per week. These
were all pending when Secretary Wilson
offered an amendment that the nutter bo
referred to a committee made up of the
three highest officials of the National or
ganization and the presidents of the dis
tricts represented In the convention. This
prevailed and an adjournment was taken
until tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.
At the conclusion of the session Secre
tary Wilson said: "It will cost 5500,000
weekly to support all the men now on
strike in the various districts. An as
sessment of ?1 per week will bring In
JS8.000 per week. This will leave us J2S0,
000 to raise each wo,k from outside
sources, and in the promises and offers
that have been made us we are confi
dent that we will be able to do this."
Opposition to General Strike.
This morning, when the convention
opened, the sentiment among the dele
gates was fully as strong as ever against
a strike, and the anthracite men favoring
ai strike admitted that there was no
chance of a walk-out They wero hope
less last night when a majority of their
own men were opposed to a strike, and
this morning they came Into the conven
tion determined to stand as a unit by the
recommendations of President Mitchell.
Thomas L. Nichols, president of district
No. 1, which was chleflly instrumental in
calling the convention, denied that he had
oeen in favor of a general strike.
"I never was personally In favor of a
strike," he said, "but, knowing how a ma
jority of our people feel, I should have
voted for a general strike if the question
had come before The convention. Just
now I guess it Is Just about certain that
there will be no strike, and if a good fund
is raised, I think that it will be just as
well. It Is the best that can be done
now, at any rate."
Tho report of the committee on cre
dentials was presented this morning, an
nouncing that there wero 2232 votes in the
convention.
The Hasklns Amendment.
The convention then took up the ques
tion of adopting the recommendations of
the president President Hasklns. of
Ohio, moved to amend the recommenda
tion regarding the application of the re
lief fund to cover all existing strikes that
have the indorsement of the executive
board.
President Mitchell announced that all
existing ftrikes were being cared for.
A motion to table the Hasklns amend
ment was lost Mr. Hasklns made a
strong speech in favor of his amendment
claiming that It was no more than just
that whatever relief was voted should be
appirtionec among all the strikers.
John P. Kcese, of Iowa, urged that the
convention had been called to ciro for
the anthracite strike, and that Inasmuch
as the recommendations of the president
were bared on the minimum sum neces
sary to support the anthracite men, a
further distribution would weaken them
to that the anthracite strike might be
lost If money was needed, the assess
ments should be increased. Terrific ap
plsuise greeted the speech of Mr. Reese.
Several long speeches which were not
to the point under discussion provoked a 1
motion that a,j speeches should be re
stricted to flvo minutes. Delegate Fltz
patrick, who made the remarkable speech
of yesterday, shouted from the gallrry:
"Oh, if you want- to railroad this thing
througli, railroad It" President Mitchell
offered to recognize Mr. Fltepatrfck, but
tho latter replied, in a disgusted tone:
"Oh. I don't want the floor; what Is the
user'
Vice-President Lewis asked that the
convention go into executive session to
discuss the assessment question, and it
was decided that the afternoon session
should be of an executive character.
Tomorrow morning the convention will
bo Informed by the Colorado delegation
that the miners of that state have voted
to give $50,000 to the cause of the striking
miners. It will bo available at once.
Tfew Yorkers to Aid Strikers.
NEW YORK, July 18. A conference has
been held here of representatives of about
25 labor unions under the auspices of the
Central Federated Union. The object of
the meeting waj the formation of a plan
for aiding the anthracite miners who are
on strike. Father Curran, of Wilkesbanre,
who tried recently to get the operators to
settle the strike, was present and was in
vited to make an address.
"Two things," he said, "are necessary
in order that the miners may win. The
first" Is that they keep the peace; the sec
ond is that they have the finances to keep
up the struggle. The strike as a whole has
shown that they can keep the peace; I
hope they may havo the funds."
IX TJXIOX PACIFIC SHOPS.
Superintendent McKeen Snj- Strike
Is a ThJnR- of the Pnst.
OMAHA, July 18. Superintendent of
Motive Power McKeen, of the Union Pa
cific Railroad, returned today from a trip
over the system, during which he visited
all the larger shops along the line. Mr.
McKeen said he found conditions much
better than he anticipated, and the strik
ers are a tblnsr of the past, so iar as his
company Is concerned. He said:
"What object the strike leaders have
in deceiving those out on striko as to tho
number of men at work I cannot under
stand. All our shops are In satisfactory
condition, and It seems to me they are
only making matters worse for themselves
by saying otherwise."
Mr. McKeen gave a resume of the con
dition in tho shops, and the number pf
men employed at each place, as compared
with the force before the strike was in
augurated. It Is as follows: ,
At Omaha, full force. 975 men; cow em
ployed, 97. The maximum force of skilled
men In machine and boiler shops is about
150. and 81 are at work.
At North Platte maximum force, 278;
now at work. 209.
At Cheyenne, maximum force, 500; now
at work, 300.
At Armstrong, Kan., the number of men
now working is above normal.
These are the points where large shops
exist At the local shops three engines
were out during the past week, and two
more are nearly completed.
MAY GO OX AXOTHJSrt STRIKE.
Frelghlhandlcra of Chicago Have
Another Grievance.
CHICAGO, July 18. Another strike of
the freighthandlers of Chicago may be
called Sunday next President Curran, of
the Frelghthandlera Union, has issued a
call for a mass meeting of all the freight
handlers In the city, to be held at that
time to take action on the refusal of four
railroads to reinstate all the old men.
Mr. Curran said tonight that he regret
ted having to take this step, but was
compelled to do so. He declared that
when the settlement was made. It was
agreed with Frederick "WJob, chairman
of tho State Board of Arbitration, that the
old men were all to bo taken back when
the strike was declared off- This, he says,
the Santa Fe. Panhandle, Northwest
ern and Illinois Central Railroads have not
done, and unless they shall do so before
the mass meeting Sunday night another
walk-out v.Il be ordered.
"These four railroads have broken
faith," he said, "because the reinstate
ment of all the other men was one of the
agreements that Chairman Job Insisted
on particularly, and now they will be com
pelled to put the men back. I am free to
say that the freighthandlers are more de
termined than ever to get Justice and to
stand by the union, and If another walk
out Is ordered, not a man will return to
work untlleach and every demand Is ac
ceded to. There will be no half-way about
it this time."

Do You Know Your XcIfjhborr
In a city a man may not know his next
door ntlgnbor. It Is quite different in the
country. In some sections a man may
know every man, woman and child in the
county and be able to give the family his
tory of all his neighbors for three genera
tions back. In such a community a man
who bees a neighbor in trouble is as
quick to help him out as he would b to
aid one of bis own children. An Instance
of this is related by H. H. Seal a well
known merchant of Fortner, Tenn. His
neighbor's wife was taken with a severe
ottactt of colic On hearing of It he ran to
his store, got a bottle of Chamberlain's
Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy
took it to the sick woman and gave her
three doses of it and he thinks saved her
life. This was wltneed by all of hlc
neighbors. This remedy is for sale by all
aruggists. Keep it in your home. It will
save you trouble.

LAKEVIEW, July IS. Wade Snyder, while out hunting last wrk near tho
"P" ranch, at the foot of Stein's Mountain, found the dead carcasses of two
deer that had met In mortal combat, their antlers bavin? become locked in the
desperate struggle. The animals had evidently been dead several wceUs, and the
underbrush was beaten down for rods around, telling of the long, but horeless,
struggle they had made to fre each other before starvation and death conquered
both. The antlers are beautiful ppeclmens, and are so closely Interlocked that
they cannot bs'puljed apart vlthout breaking them. One has to but look at them
to Imagine the desperate struggle that must have followed the battle royal In

CZAR'S AXTI-TRUST COXFEREXCE.
United States Xot Invited to Partici
pate in It.
WASHINGTON. July 17. The Govern
roent cf the United States has not received
an invitation to participate in the anti
trust conference proposed by the Czar.
The Government was not concerned of
ficially In the international sugar confer
ence at Brussels, to which the projected
conference Is -a natural supplement, there
fore it is not believed that its participa
tion in this Is expected. However, It would
be clearly impossible for the United States
Government to enter Into any undertak
ing with foreign governments concerning
such important matters as trade regula
tion, and especially Involving an inter
national regulation of tariffs In some
measure. It is felt that Congress would
never surrender any part of Its Constitu
tional authority to regulate these matters,
as even if the United States should attend
the projected conference through a proper
representative, no action could be taken
that would In the slightest sense bind the
Government.
MAIXE'S GREAT SPEED.
Xctv Battle-Ship Exceeds Her Con
tract Requirements.
PHILADELPHIA, July IS. The new
battle-ship Maine, built by the Cramps
to replace the ill-fated Maine, returned
to this city after a satisfactory builder's

size, averaging 18.29 knots an hour over
a measured course. Her contract calls
for a speed of 18 knots. In a preliminary
Vun last night the Maine for 30 minutes
ran at the rate of 19.95 knots an hour, an
extraordinary speed for a vessel of -"her
displacement.

Dismissed From Indian Schools.
PHOENIX, Ariz., July 18. Some weeks
ago orders were Issued by the Indian Bu
reau of the Interior Department that all
pupils of Indian schools having Mexican
blood In their veins be sent home. Thla
will affect very largely the schools at
Phoenix, Tucson and In Now Mexico.
Pursuant to the order, over 50 have been
dismissed from the Phoenix School, which
has an enrollment of about 700 and a regu
lar attendance of probably 600. Others
may be sent home, as it is difficult in
many cases to distinguish between those
of mixed blood and natives. Their pres
ence In tho schools la accounted for In
two ways. Some were born on reserva
tions, but more perhaps were town resi
dents, having a large proportion of Indian
FOUND INTERLOCKED
blood. The children being sometimes un
manageable In public school.", were sent
to Indian schools, where a discipline of
the military order Is maintained.

JEXXIXGS,
Huge Cone "Will Be Dropped Over
the Burning "Well and Filled
With Water and Steam.
JENNINGS. La., July IS. Little prog
ress has boen made toward extinguishing
the fire at the Jennings well, and it con
tlnups tQ burn with all the fury It did
last Tuesday night. A new plan for
quenching tho flames will soon be tried,
however. Two- derricks- are being erected
on either side of tho fire, and will be
connected to the cable and slid along
until directly over the fire. .By means xof
a trap wire, the cone will be dropped
over the fire, falling from a great height,
to bury Itself In the ground and over
come the gas pressure of the, well. By
means of pipes that extend from this
cone. It is hoped to check the pressure
by permitting it to escape from thl3
vent. The boilers will then be connected
and a stream of water and ateam will be
turned on. which will flood the inclosure,
and the oil and water will run out of the
drain ditches that' have been prepared.
Chemicals then will be turned on the
flames to conquer them.
GREENE-GAYNOR CASE.
Flllns of Affidavits' and Connter
Affldnvltn at Quebec.
QUEBEC, July IS. Today's proceedings
ji the Gaynor-Greene case consisted prin
cipally of the filing of affidavits and counter-affidavits,
and It was only a short time
before the adjournment of the court that
Mr. McMaster. for the prosecution, com
menced his argument on his motions to
quash the habeas corpus writs Issued by
Judge Caron June 20 and 21 last.
The nroceedlnxs were opened by Mr.
Tascbereau, counsel for the prisoners, who
produced affidavits of Benjamin Greene
to the effect that May 17 Mr. Erwln called
on" him at the Windsor Hotel, Montreal,
when Erwln said to Greene: "If you will
pay JCOO.OOO to settle the whole matter. I
will go at once to Washington and advise
its acceptance." Greene replied that ho
could not stand that, because he had not
money enough to pay half of the amount,
but Erwin said: "Gaynor has enough. I
do not know where it is, but he has It."
To this Greene said: "If you will say 1200,
000 I will talk with Colonel Gaynor about
It." Erwln replied, the affidavit contin
ued: "That will not be enough." Greeno
then added: "What do you think of 1300,
000?" "I do not think that Is enough,
but you don't want to go through the rest
of your life hunted wherever you go, and
you must remember that if you are ex
tradited and are In Georgia. It will be too
late to make a settlement." Greene finally
replied: "Well, anyway, I do not see how
we can pay any money, because that
would be an admission on our part that
we have received money wrongfully. That
we have not done." Greene swore that
this talk of a settlement for tSOO.Cfl) re
ferred to the criminal proceedings against
them, and not to any civil claim.
This affidavit was supported by another
from Mrs. J. F. Gaynor.
Mr. McMaster read an affidavit signed by
Marlon Erwln, completely denying the
cllegatlons contained In the affidavit of
Mr. Greene and Mrs. Gaynor regarding
the interview between Greene and himself,
Mr. Erwln stated on his return to his
room the afternoon of May 17 he found a
note there, 1n which he recognized the
handwriting at D, D. Greene, which note
was as follows: "Jf you can call to see me
at any time today, you will do me a great
favor." The original of this note is In
the possession of Mr. Erwln, and was
shown to Judge Caroh. In response to
that request he had gone to Greene's room
and the latter opened the conversation by
saying that while he knew that Erwln
had been prosecuting him for over two
years, he wanted to thank him for having
always treated him with personal consid
eration. He then said If the extradition
proceedings at Montreal proceeded for any
length of time It was probable he might
desire to give bond. Erwln's affidavit
continued In substance: "I called his at
tention to the fact that he and Gaynor
had already forfeited bonds In the sum
of J400.000 each; he replied that he had left
the United States because he had re
solved never to be put In Jail as a convict;
that he had come to Canada with the ex
pectation that aftfr a year or two his
friends in the United States could effect a
settlement of the civil claims of theiGov
ernment again him, and he could then
probably secure a dismissal of the crimi
nal prosecution. He said he had never
given his personal word that he would not
run off from the prosecution In Georgia,
hut he would pledge me his word of honor
that If I would agree to his giving bond
before Judge Lafontatne, he would not
run off. He then referred to the fact
that the Government had already tied up
by civil proceedings 1500,000 of assets of
what the Government claimed was O. M.
Carter's share in the fraud, and asked me
what the exact amount the Government
claimed that he and J. F. Gaynor had
restlved as his share. I replied that we
claimed that he and Gaynor had received
$1,400,000 as their share in the fraud. He
replied that he was in no position, and
had not sufficient means to meet -such a
claim, but he and Gaynor would be willing
to pay the Government 5300,000 in settle
ment of the entire litigation, to Include the
JSO.CO0 claimed on forfeited recognizance
which he said was secured by assets put
up by Gaynor and himself with the sure
tics, but that if he settled the civil claims
It must carry with U the dismissal of the
criminal proceedings. I replied that I
know of no law for settling the criminal
case, but that If he made restitution of
tho Government's actual loss I did not
know what view of leniency might be
taken by the Government; thit I had no
authority In the matter, and that the
amount he offered In settlement of the
Government's claim was not sufficiently
large for me to mention to the Attorney
General." Mr. McMaster also produced affidavits
from Detectives Keefe and Sloan, of
Montreal, who swear that when the In
tervlew took place between Erwln
and Greege, only these two were
In the room. Mr. McMaster, In conclu
sion, remarked that these affidavits were
filed to contradict utterances made by
Mr. Taschercau July 11. Mr. McMaster
then filed a new power of attorney, signed
by Attorney-General Knox, July 11. The
question of affidavits was then dropped
and Mr. McMestcr began his argument
upon his motion to quash the writs of
habeas corpus.
