Intercst Continue!.
SCRANTON, Nov. 20. The economic and
sociological features of the anthracite coal
industry and the effect of employment in
and about the mince has upon the health
of the mineworkers were the principal
subjects brought before the Arbitration
Commisslpn today by fhe attorneys of
each 'de to the controversy. While there
was an entire absence of the oratory or
brilliant cross-examination which marked
the proceedings during the last few days,
the cross-examination nevertheless had
the close attention of the commission-
... I 1 Miml-i Infnrmntiftn
ers. ana incy guiucu muui ,
on the several features touched upon by
the witnesses.
The afternoon session was particularly
interesting because it brought out much
expert testimony on the question of the
health of the mineworkers. Three phy
sicians who have'practlced in cranton or
"Wilkesbarre took the stand for the miners
and in substance testified that the occupa
tion of a mineworker was "very unhcalth
ful" and shortened his life. One physician.
Dr. F. P. Lenahah, of Wilkesbarre, who
says he hao had a long experience among
mineworkers, testified that fully 99 per
cent of the men who work inthe mines"
are anemic Their health is impoverished
and their general condition is below par,
this decreasing their earning power. The
pilnclpal ills suffered by the miners, the
physicians raid, were miners' asthma,
rheumatism and lumbago.
Dr. John O'Malley, of Scranton. said
that at post-mortems he had seen miners'
lungs an black as anthracite coal itself,
and Dr. Lenahan testified that he had per
sonal knowledge of a man coughing up
coal dust nine years after be had left the
mines. He said he had information that
a "nan had coughed up coal dust 15 years
after he had left the mines. It was also
stated that 90 per cc-nt of the miners who
reach the age of 50 years are afflicted with
some form of rheumatism.
The cross-examination of Rev. Dr. Pe
ter Roberts, who had studied the anthra
cite coal industry and written a book on
the subject, ended today, and he left the
witness-stand shortly after the noon re
ccos. He began his testimony yesterday.
Copious extracts from his book were read
and placed on record.
Ex-Congressman Wolverton, counsel for
the Reading Company, read much of the
matter pertaining to violence In the 1900
strike, 'and also read articles written by
Dr. Roberts during the progress of the
late contest. In which he described In
strong language tbe acts of violence, in
timidation and boycotting committed dur
ing that suspension. His articles spoke
'S-pf some of these acts as "brutal out
rages," and he also branded tbe union's
action In calling out the steam men in
June, as "foolhardy." In explaining his
articles Dr. Roberts said that he did not
wish o intimate that the organization
was responsible for all the lawlessness
committed. The doctor said yesterday
that newspaper accounts exaggerated the
amount of lawlessness In the coal region,
and Mr. Wolverton's reading of Dr. Rob
erts' description of serious acts of vio
lence and boycotting afforded much
amusement for the attorneys of the coal
companies. Dr. Roberts gave it as his
opinion that attempts to have nonunion
men form a separate organization were
instigated by parties opposed to organized
labor.
Story of the Day.
When the commission adjourned yester
day ex-Congre3sman Simon P. Wolverton.
counsel for the Philadelphia & Reading
Coal & Iron Company, was cross-examining
Dr. Roberts. Answering a question
propounded by Judge Gray yesterday. Dr.
Roberts said today that a comparison of
fatalities on all railroads In the United
States with those In the anthracite fields
shows that 2.5 per 1000 railroad employes
are killed, while 3.5 per 1000 mine employes j
are killed. The fatalities to switchmen,
flagmen and watchmen in 1900 he stated to
be 5.3 per 1000, as against 5.5 per 1000 min
ers and their laborers working Inside the
mines.
The question of arriving at a fair price"
on rock In connection with coal mining.
Dr. Roberts said, was one that could be
adlustcd only by the mine employes and
the companies. He said It was far from
the truth to characterize the operators as
hard-hearted and unjust, and as seeking
constantly to grind men down to the last
penny of wages, as had been charged.
Dr. Roberts declared that the. men In the
Southern anthracite district voted to stand
by their brothers in the Northern district
on the question of insisting on the recog
nition of the union, nnd also on all other
points raised In the Shamokin convention.
Answering -urther questions by Mr. Wol
verton, Dr. Roberts said he understooa
that dissensions had occurred between
miners and their helpers, the latter claim
ing that the miners 'left them at an un
seasonable hour and Imposed on them the
whole of the labor.
After reading from a lengthy article by
Dr. Roberts In tha Yale Review on the
labor situation In the hard coal fields
prior to the strike, witness said in elabo
ration of what he had written that by in
' vestigatlon regarding the movement form
ing an Independent organization, he found
that movement was chiefly a rising by the
nonunion men.
"I do not know what was the motive
of their action," said he, "but it seems
that they were instigated to movements
of this kind by parties opposed to the
organization of labor."
"If the conditions In the bituminous re
gions," Inquired Mr. Wolverton. "are bet
ter than in the anthracite fields, why did
the men who left the hard coal regions
during the strike return to the anthracite
fields after the strike?"
The response was" that they did so be
cause of social and family ties.
Hungry Men DnngcronK.
Mr. Wolverton today read copious ex
tracts from a magazine which Dr. Roberts
would not deny he had written. In which
he described many acts of intimidation,
violence and boycott. In explanation Mr.
Roberts said that these acts cannot all be
attributed to the union, and made a brief
speech in which he said the operators re
fused to arbitrate, and the men were
forced to strike to gain their demands.
"They grew hungry in the struggle," he
said, "and a hungry man Is dangerous."
The act was brought out in the course
of the cross-examination that the Penn
sylvania Legislature in 1S91, passed a com
pulsory education law. applying to every
child under 16 years, and that under its
provisions parents of delinquents can be
punished.
The question of the extra hazardous
character of the miners' occupation was
then referred to by Everett Warren, coun
sel for the Erie Company, who asked the
witness if it were not true that over 50
per cent of ihe accidents are attributable
to the anxiety of the miner to get out of
b mine at a much earlier hour than
nnnn. The witness was not nrenared to
say that that was the percentage.
While an attempt was being made to
show that the carelessness of the miner
contributes materially to the danger of
his occupation. Chairman Gray interposed
with the remark that a rfargin of care
lessness incident to human nature must
be taken Into account when estimating the
dangcrousness of any hazardous occupa
tion. The Interest In the commissioners and
their Investigation has not decreased. Each
day hundreds of men line the streets and
watch the arbitrators walk from the hotel
to the courtroom. The commissioners con
tinue to hold dally conferences.
To Mnke Haste Lcs Slowly.
The commissioners were In conference
tonight until almost midnight. Among
the matters discussed was that of having
both fides present evidence more rapidly
than it Is now being done. The attorneys
for the miners and operators have prom
ised documentary evidence on the various
questions before the arbitrators, but they
are not quite ready to- submit it. The
commission has been sitting one week,
and it has heard little on the question of
wages and "hours, and it tonight consid
ered the question of adjourning the hear-
ing until such evidence is ready for filing, j
A member of the commission said tonfght
that they could not be expected to hear
oral evidence when documentary evidence
is obtainable. .
President Mitchell was summoned to the
Hotel Jermyn, where the conference was
held, after 11 o'clock tonight, and stated
that the best he could do at this time in
the way of presenting documentary evi
dence would be due bills and other forms
of wage statements- of miners that he had
in his possession. No conclusion was
reached tonight, and It is expected that
the matter will be settled at tomorrow's
session.
GUATEMALA'S VOLCANO.
Five Thousand Jfrvtlves Believed to
Have Been Killed by It.
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 20 W. J.
Campbell, who arrived here today from
Guatemala, brings additional details of
the damage caused by the recent earth
quake. In an interview Mr. Campbell
said:
"There is no clear idea yet of the loss
of life resulting from the volcano's erup
tion, but. from what I could gather be
fore leaving the country, I believe that
5000 natives had been killed. There was
some talk at San Jose, too, of seme
refugees having been waylaid by rob
bers, but I saw no instance of this. In
fact, I bothered very little about any
thing 4 except the fact that the country
had been impoverished, and I took the
first means of getting back to this coun
try. I heard at San Jose that President
Cabria was trying to suppress the news,
but he could not reasonably have ex
pected to do anything like that, for the
evidence of ruin was too apparent to
everybody.
"Some of the coffee fincas that have
been entirely ruined were worth more
than $1,000,000. The plantation of Albert
James, which was wiped out of existence.
had machinery upon It worth $300,000, all
of which Is destroyed. Some months ago
James refused an offer of $1,500,000 for the
flnca. Alofo Meyers' finca, worth $750,000
In gold, was entirely ruined. Both of
these fine places lay 20 to 40 miles west
of the volcano. The town of Quezelte
nango is practically ruined, for the
houses are cracked and broken down.
the people are moving out and the neigh
borhood Is covered with sand and ashes.
Ofliclnl Report Belittles It.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. A. Lazo Ar
riaga, the Minister from Guatemala, has
just received from his government let
ters and telegrams stating that the re
ports published In this country about the
loss of life and property caused by the
eruption of the Santa Maria volcano are
exaggerated. iWhile it is true that ' a
part of the present coffee -crop is ruined,
the dispatch says. It Is generally expected
that taost of the plantations of the af
fected district will recuperate. The loss
of life was very small, and the Presfdent
of the republlp from the first moment
adopted the most energetic measures of
relief, which, the dispatches say, avoided
considerable suffering and preserved
peace and order in the affected region.
Minister Lazo Arriaga tonight emphat
ically denjed reports that bands of rob
bers were" swarming the desolated sec
tions, robbing and murdering refugees,
and said the official correspondence just
received by him showed that such out
rages could not be perpetrated.
TO TEST BORAX MEAT.
Experiment to See If German Objec
tion Has Real Basis.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. Professor W.
H. Wiley, Chief of the Bureau of Chem
istry of the Agricultural Department, next
Monday will begin a series of experi
ments on 12 young men in the Govern
ment employ for the purpose of testing
the physiological effects of the use of
meat preserved with borax and other
chemicals. The experiments will be made
with a view to deciding what basis there
Is for the objections of the German gov
ernment to American meats on the ground
that borax and other chemicals used in
their preservation are Injurious to pub
lic health. The 12 young men selected are
volunteers, and all are young and vigor
ous. Each has pledged himself during
the period the tests are to last to ab
stain from food and drink except as it
may be "permitted by Professor Wiley.
They are nearly all of them employed
In the scientific bureaus of the Agricul
tural Department. Six of them will be fed
on "pure foods," untreated meats and
vegetables, while the other six will par
take of the same fare submitted to chem
ical treatment. This will continue for
about two weeks, and then the Govern
ment boarders will change their diet,
those not eating chemically treated food
adopting such a regime, while the others
get untreated rations, and at the end of
two weeks reversing their diet again,
The men will be weighed before each
meal and careful notes will be taken of
their appetite on each day. The last Con
gress made an appropriation and author
ized the Agricultural Department to con
duct experiments to discover what effect.
if any, the chemicals used on meat would
have on human beings.

CARRIE AT HORSE SHOW
TOLD
THE VAIVDERBILTS
THEY SHOULD DRESS.
HOW
Also Told Youiif? Men Where Tliey
Would Go If They Continued to
DrlnXc Red "Wine.
NEW YORK. Nov. 20. Mrs. Carrie Na
tion created a sensation at tbe Horse Show
today. She harangued the great gathering
on the evils of overdress, attempted to
break a bottle of champagne, and -finally
was ejected from the building by the po
lice. -
Mrs. Nation entered the garden quietly
and took a seat in the tier. .She had been
there only a few minutes when her gaze
rested on the box where seme members of
the Vanderbilt family were sitting. She
studied her programme, and then descend
ed to the promenade. Stationing herself
in front of the Vanderbilt box, she do
Hvered a tirade on overdress. In the box
were seated Mrs. Alfred G. vanderbilt.
Reginald Vanderbilt and Miss Nielson.
Alfred G. Vanderbilt was leaning against
the rail of the promenade, and did not
sec Mrs. Nation approach.
"lou ought to be ashamed of your
selves," the woman screamed at them.
"You ought to be ashamed to wear such
disgraceful clothes. Take them off, take
them oft and attire yourselves more mod
estly." Alfred G. Vanderbilt hastily left his posi
tion at the rail and came over to where
Mrs. Nation was standing, and, wiping his
forehead with a handkerchief, he whis
pered something in her ear and pushed her
away. The outburst of the woman at
tracted a great crowd of people, and the
occupants of the Vanderbilt box were evi
dently very much embarrassed.
Mrs. Nation then turned her attention
to other boxes. Finally she started for
the cafe, where she bore down on a
party of men who were drinking wine.
Mrs. Nation seized a bottle, and, glaring
at the men, shouted.:
"Young men, don't drink such filthy
stuff; you are going straight to hell.
Where is the man who sells this stuff?
Show him to me and I will tell him what
I think of him."
Mrs. Nation's request was speedily
granted by the sudden arrival of M. Vllle
pigue. the caterer at the garden.
"Get out of this terrible business," she
shouted at him. "You are also going to
hell and ruining the bodies and souls of
men. You are dragging them down with
you. Shame on you!- Shame on you!"
The Frenchman, however, ran to Mrs.
Nation and rescued the bottle, which she
had repeatedly brandished in the air to
emphasize her remarks. Then he pushed
her out of the door. Here the police took
hold of the Kansas reformer and forced
her out of the building.
TO START A JOCKEY CLUB.
-Vancouver Man Tries to Interest
Hunt. Club In Project.
Robert Lelghton, of Vancouver, B. C,
has been In Portland during the past
week, endeavoring to work up interest in
a Portland Jockey Club, which he is anx
ious to have formed. Mr. Lelghton is sec
retary of the Vancouver Jockey Club and
the North Pacific Fair Association, and
he thinks that Portland should have a
good club to take care of the annual
races on tfce Northwest circuit.
Mr. Leighton's idea is to lease the Irv
ington track, and to form a limited lia
bility company to operate It, composed of
people who have not heretofore taken
much Interest in the races on account of
the people that were allowed to go and
see them. He says that six years ago a
company of this kind was formed In Van
couver, with a capital of $25,000, and to
day this club boasts a first-class club
house, and a beautiful little track. At
the annual races great Interest is mani
fested, and all the best society people of
the city turn. out en masse.
Mr. Lelghton .will endeavor to have the
Hunt Club take up the matter, and thinks
that as Portland already has a fine track
and good grounds, there should be no
reason why the plan should fall through.
He has always lamented the fact that
Portland. was' absent from the circuit, and
thinks that by the time the annual meet
ing Is held here. In January, the people
here will have formed a first-class club,
one that the city may well be proud of.
When seen last night by a reporter, ho
said:
"I was over at Seattle on business, and
knowing that the matter here needed
some one who took an interest in it, I
came over to see if something could not
be done before the meeting In January.
Portland Is one of the most Ideally lo
cated horse towns on the Coast. The
whole Willamette Valley lies back of it,
and there is a fine track and grounds at
your disposal. The only thing needed Is
to have some one take up the matter en
ergetically, and get good results. At
Vancouver, we put back In the club all
the profits, and our club and track are as
nice as one could wish to see. I will be
here a week yet, and hope before that
time to get influential people Interested,
who will make the project successful."
ATTACKED THE SPECULATORS.
Yale Students Mnile n Raid and Cap
turcd Tickets.
NEW HAVEN, Conn.. Nov. 20. An ex
traordinary scene was witnessed here to
night, when the Yale students made an
attack on "ticket speculators and relieved
them of every ticket for the Yale-Harvard
football game in their possession
The speculators were given the regulation
price, 2, for every ticket taken. In sev
eral Instances, when the ticket dealers
remonstrated, they were roughlv nan
died.
The exorbitant prices demanded by spec
ulators for tickets had aroused the stu
dent body, and they decided tb take the
matter Into their own hands. Most of
the tickets taken were on the Harvard
side of the field, and were obtained in
Boston by the speculators. A few tick
ets on me xaie siae or .tne nem were
found, however, and as every ticket bears
the name of the student to whom It was
issued, it is expected that there will b
Interesting developments, in view of the
fact that the football management some
time ago threatened to publish the names
of students whose tickets were found In
the hands of speculators.
BARRED FROM PRACTICE.
Harvard's Assistant Coach Suspected
of Treacherons Conduct.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 20. Assist
ant Coach Mason was barred from the se
cret practice of the Harvard football team
yesterday by Head Coach Farley. It was
understood that Farley and Captain Ker
nan, of the Harvard eleven, had received
information that -lason had used his
knowledge of Harvard tactics to help
Dartmouth In last Saturday s game. At
any rate, when Mason appeared on So!
dlers' Field for practice yesterday. Coach
Farley objected to his presence, and after
some talk Mason was accompanied off
the field by another coach. Coach Farley
says that he had good reason for acting
as he did, but beyond that he will not
discuss the case. Mason is a former foot
ball player and star member of the Har
vard baseball team.

For the third time this season, the teams
of Portland , Academy and Hill Military
Academy will line up against each other
on Saturday afternoon, on Multnomah
Field. The first game was won easily by
the Academy boys, but in the game two
weeks later, the Hill players put up a
marvelously strong style of play, and kept
the score 6 to 6. During the past few
days both elevens have been working their
utmost, and the game Saturday will be
fiercely fought from start to finish.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20. The official count

tlon Commissioners. The completion 6f
thla count makes available the vote of
the entire state ticket candidates, as the
canvass of the vote In the counties of the
state was finished a" week ago. Because
I of the active campaign made by the sev
1 . .,.,. , ' a. m .
eral candidates in the State Treasurer
contest and because that office was rec
ognized as the head of the state ticket,
the vote for the candidates for Treasurer
probably represents the 'entire vote cast
in the State of Illinois.
A study of the votes polled by the sev !
eral candidates In this contest probably '
shows the relative strength of the politi
cal parties of the, state. On this basis
the following statistics have been pre
pared: Entire vote of the state, 859.S56; for
Busse (Rep.), 450,693; for Duddleston
(Dem.), 361,015; Nelson (Soc), 19,915; Tues
burg (Pro.). 18,194; Renner (Soc.-Lab.),
S525; Balster (People's), 11S4'; Busse's plu
rality in state. 89,678. ;
Of the minor parties, the Socialist and
Socialist-Labor shows a relatively greater
strength In Cook County than in the re
mainder of the state, while the People's
party and Prohibitionists show their !
greatest strength outside of Cook County
Professionalism in Athletics.
Atlantic Magazine.
The intention of the rule of professional
ism lo to disqualify from participation in
college sport3 all men who have received a
monetary benefit or Its equivalent by rea
son of their previous connection with ath
letics. It would he foolish to treat thla as .
a .moral question, although It does affect i
the honor of a team. The distinction be- j
tween the amateur and a professional Is
one purely in the interest of sport, be- t
cause the latter has presumably made
more or less of an occupation of athletics,
and . therefore outclasses the former, j
Hence the contest Is unequal, If the facta ,
are known; unfair If the facts are con- (
cealed. In either case the result is bad.
A spirit of retaliation absolutely fatal to j
friendly contests Is Introduced. The rule
was made at a time when abuses were J
common, and some of Its provisions now i
seem too sweeping. Some of the technl-
callties that arise are absurd, yet the dis- j
tinctlon between the two kinds of players j
had to be drawn, and the line was not a !
clear one under the best circumstances.
On the whole, the rule has promoted hon
orable dealing between college boys, and
Its influence in the preparatory schools has
been far-reaching. It should not be modi
fled in spirit except for weighty reasons,
althqugh a greater latitude In Its interpre
tation might be allowed to committees.
When a woman first experiences the pleasant
