OYSTER BAY, July 19. President Roosevelt today received a committee ap pointed last Sunday by the convention of J the coal miners and allied crafts of S Wllkesbarre, Pa. The mission of the committee was to present personally to the President a petition reciting- the con ditions in which organised labor has been placed by the action of the authorities of Colorado and requesting him to institute an investigation of the labor trouble In that state with a view to remedying the conditions now existing if possible. The members of the committee, M. T, Burke. of Carbondale, Pa.; Henry Hersovltz, of Plymouth, Pa., and Frank B. McCafferty, of Victor, Colo., are the men who came to Oyster Bay last week, but were un able on that day to obtain a personal in terview with the President. The committee arrived here this after noon, and met the President at his Saga more Hill home at 7:30 this evening. They passed a half hour with Mr. Roosevelt lft his library. The petition, which was the expression of 225,000 men of the union labor organization of Northeastern Penn sylvania, was laid before the President. He read It carefully, and then informed the committee he would be glad to do any thing he properly and legally could to ameliorate the condition existing in the State of Colorado. He indicated that an Investigation of the labor troubles in that state is now being made by agents of the Department of Commerce and Labor. Thus far the situation had not been such as would warrant Interference by the Federal Government. Following the presentation of the peti tion, the President talked with his callers on subjects of mutual interest. The talk developed the fact that Mr. Hersovltz had fought with President Roosevelt in Cuba. After exchanging some remin iscences of the war with him, the Presi dent gave Mr. Hersovltz an autograph card bearing the following inscription: "To comrade Henry Hersovltz, with the good wishes of Theodore Roosevelt, July 18, 1001." After a conference with President Roosevelt, which lasted far into the night and was resumed early toJay, ex-Secretary of War Rlihu Root left Sagamore Hill today for New York, having import ant business which made necessary his re turn today. Beyond the fact that the President and Mr. Root considered the speech which tho formei is to deliver on the 27th Inst, in response to the notification of his nomi nation, little could be learned about the conference The talk covered a wide range of 'subjects. RED CROSS ASKED TO STEP IN Miners Desire It Take Charge of the Distribution of Supplies. DENVER, July 19. The wajs and means committee of the Western Fed eration of Miners has appealed to the Red Cross Society to take charge of the distribution of funds and the general re lief work for families of deported miners la the Cripple Creek district A com munication addressed to Mrs. John A. Logan, president of the society, deals In part as follows: "After havinjr denorted from thplr homes tne husbands and fathers, they now refuse to allow relief In the way of food and clothing to be Issued to the wives and children, unless it be through the hands of the military au thorities. "We do not feel justified in trusting, the matter of relief to the military, feeling satisfied that owing to the hatred they have shown to our people they would not faithfully carry out this great trust "Now, therefore, knowing it to be the mission of the Red Cross Society, of which you are the official head, to tako cnarge of and as' much as possible elimi nate suffering caused by the cruelties of war, we earnestly appeal to you to ar range to have your noble organization 'take charge of the distribution of food and -clothing to the families of deported citizens of Teller County. We will fur nish all necessary Supplies, and only ask that your organization take charge of the distribution of the same." STORM! STEIKES ST. I0TJIS.

M Another in Series of Summer Hour TODAY! A blRECT APPEAL TO ALL THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY. A LOCAL INCIDENT WITH A LOCAL APPLICATION Coming down Yamhill street one morning, a few days since, the writer noticed an old man, hent with age and feebleness, trimming the grass of a large lawn with a pair of brdinary ly-inzh. shears. The open-air exercise obtained in consummating this laborious task might have benefited the old gentleman's health, but ere snch a job could be finished, the grass would have either died of old age or grown to proportions that might have made it difficult for the good old man to grope his way through it back to the porch of his hospitable home. The application is plain. Some business houses with a big lawn to mow or a large stock of goods to move quickly start about it with scissors. That's why certain pinstores not a thousand miles away have got such a mighty conglomeration of useless and antediluvian merchandise, hoary with age, souvenirs of by-gone decades. They've been toddling along after our gigantic auto-electric grass cutter with a pair of penny shears. We're making hay rain or shine and a few clouds never feaze us. "We've got orders to get ready for the long-threatened tearing away of walls between the old and new building in two weeks. A Herculean task? Y.es. The way to do it is TO BO IT. Don't yon think these prices will help some? You know the quality of merchandise they're affixed to. Hundreds of matchless value go unmentioned. "HOURLY SALES" IS THE TEXT.
