LONDON. Feb. 2$. After negotia

In official communication tonight, ad
mit Its failure to stave off a national
coal strike. Negotiations will be re
sumed tomorrow, but little Is expected
from these.
The deadlock Is graver than expect
ed. It has been supposed that the
greatest hostility would arise from the
Welsh mlneowners and public opinion
was veering In favor of the miners,
who. It waa thought, would be satis
fied with the concession of the prin
ciple of a minimum wage, leaving their
adjustment of detailsto subsequent ar
bitration or negotiations.
It Is now seen that the miners them
selves are placing the greatest obsta
cles In the way of a peaceful solution
by insisting on their own Interpreta
tion of the terms of the minimum
wage. It la this aspect or the situa
tion which renders the outlook almost
hopeless.
Efforts Not Wasted.
At the same time It Is felt that the
government's efforts have not been

the assent of fO per cent of the mine-
owners of tha country to the principle
of a minimum wage, thus greatly facil
itating lta task should it be deemed
advisable to resort to legislative en
forcement of the minimum wage. Ac
cording to opinion In the lobbies of

next step, should the conferences,
which are to be resumod tomorrow.
show that the deadlock la Insuperable.
In lta statement tonight, the gov
ernment says It is satisfied there are

such wage should be secured by ar

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 28 No imme
diate steps will be taken to dislodge
the rebels from Juarez, either by siege
or battle. Instead, the government
will devote Its energies to cleanlne-
up the district about Torreon and Chi
huahua. This, according to the best informa
tion obtainable, was tha conclusion
reached at the meeting of President
Madero's Cabinet today after the dif
ficulties of starving; out the Juarez In
surrectionists had been canvassed
thoroughly.
Siege Believed Impracticable.
A government official who was pres
ent at the taking of the border city
by Madero last May pointed out that
it would require a larce number of
troops and a close Investment to pre
vent the rebels from securing cattle
and provisions from the surrounding
country with which to maintain them
selves. The troops could not be
spared, nor could they be placed about
the city without great difficulty, he
"said.
On the other hand, the government
has decided that military operations
are to be pimlied vigorously in the
L-.guna district. Troops are being
sent into that territory from Saltlllo
and Monterey and results are expected
within a few days. In the opinion of
government officials, railroad traffic
111 be re-established shortly on the
lines connecting the latter cities with
Torreon. '
Troop Seat to Aid Americans.
In response to representations mads
by American Ambassador Wilson, a
body of troops Is proceeding to the re
lief of 63 Americans, who are bottled
up at Velardena.
A report was circulated here today
that three Americans had been killed
by the rebels. Careful inquiry failed
to show any foundation for the rumors.
What stand General Orozaco will
take after the termination of the per
iod of service covered in his promises
to Madero several weeks ago, when he
expressed a desire to retire, appears
to be giving concern. Government of
ficials would not venture an opinion
but there is evident a lack of confi-

Mayor Pilling Receives Notice of
Amalgamation nf Plants, With
"Agreement to .Maintain Rates.
SliATLE, Wash., Feb. 28. (Special.)
Complete absorption of the Indepen
dent Telephone Company by the. Pacific
Telephone & Telegraph Company was
announced tonight by Vice-President
and General Manager E. C. Bradley, of
the latter company. Operation under
one system Is to begin Just as soon as
the physical construction work consoli
dating the two plants can be completed.
The Pacific Company agrees not to
raise lta present schedule of rates for
a period of two years, pending an ex
haustive investigation of the whole
telephone situation. This arrangement
is subject to the approval of the State
Public Service Commission. The com
pany is willing to enter into a formal
agreement with the City Council not
to raise the rates for that period of
time.
Announcement of the consolidation
was made to Mayor Dining in a. com
munication over the signature of Man
ager Bradley and presented by his per
sonal agent, B. C. Carroll, of San Fran
cisco. The communication says:
"It has been decided to take over
the properties of the Independent Com
pany." The recent physical connection es
tablished between the two systems,
which the Board of Public Works to
day formally ordered the Pacific com
pany to remove, as having been estab
lished without permit, are not men
tioned In the communication.
Tho Pacific company's general man
ager makes plain, however, that the
merger does not mean merely physical
connection, but a complete amalgama
tion.
GLASS EYE NO BARRIER
Hero of Steamer Queen Disaster
May Keep Master's License.
SA.V FRANCISCO, Feb. 28. Captain
M. E. Cousins, one of the best-known
marine men on the Pacific Coast, has
been saved from retirement by a ruling
that the loss of an eye no longer pre
vents a navigator from obtaining a re
newal of his license. News of the de
clslon, which was made by George
Uhler, supervising Inspector-general of
hulls and boilers, was received here to
day. "
A protest had been made against re
newal of the license of Captain Cousins,
who wears a glass eye as a result of
his heroism In the celebrated steam
ship Queen disaster. Uhler's ruling
held that "any persons who received a
license prior to the adoption of the
rule demanding a visual examination
may have such a license renewed for
daylight only, if no other bar to su
a renewal appears."
BOY, 16, HAS 3D BIRTHDAY
Salem High School Student Today
Celebrates With Chumsi
SALEM. Or., Feb. 28. (Special.)
Even though born on February 29 and
entitled to four birthdays out of his
16 years of existence, if all of the ap
parent laws of mathematics would
work, nevertheless Allan Bynon, a stu
dent at the Salem High School, will
have only his third birthday tomor
row. His father, Fred Bynon, a Salem
real estate man, has won several bets
today on this condition of affairs.
The secret of young Bynon's ab
sence of birthdays lies in the fact that
he was born In 1896. As a result leap
year was skipped In 1900 and conse
quently the youngster at that time had
no bitrhday since the time of his birth
until 1904, when he was allowed to
celebrate tho anniversary. Then In
1908 he duplicated and tomorrow he
will have his third. A large number
of students at the high school have
planned to Join In tomorrow and give
him a rousing celebration.

LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Feb. 28. (Spe
cial.) Charlotte Adkins Day is mourn
ing the. loss of her husband, John Day,
but she mourns more seriously the loss
of her diamonds and several hundred
dollars, the savings of 20 years of la
bor. John Day, who was publicity mana
ger for the Astoria, Or., Centennial In
1911 and later for the Salem, Oregon
State Fair, and the Shriners' show in
Salem, met, wooed, won, wed and
robbed her within a few days, her
frinnds declare.
The deserted bride cannot he found,
although . it was learned late tonight
she Is at some beach resort near Los
Angeles and Is in retirement until she
recovers from the shock of her deser
tion. Day- Drop From MKht.
The Alexandria Hotel, where Day
lived while here and where he and Miss
Adkins were married a week ago last
Saturday night, holds two worthless
checks on a Portland bank for 850 each
signed by Day. and an unsettled hotel
bill of $109 charged against him. Day
dropped out of sight last Wednesday
and no trace of him has been found.
Both Day and his bride are 34 years
of age. Miss Adkins has been work
ing since sha was-a child of 14 years
as an office girl for Dr. A. C. Humel
baugh, a dentist with offices in the
Ramona block.
She was economical and when she
had a few hundred dollars saved, after
years of toil, she was advised to invest
it in diamonds. This she did and was
possessed of several really good stones,
as well as other gems of less value.
She continued to save and when she
met Day had nearly $1000 in the bank.
Miss Adkins met Day at 1815 Lennox
avenue, the home of Mrs. A. N. Ferris,
wife of a dentist, who had met Day
once in Salem and on whom Day called
when he came here.
Jewels and Money Gone.
Mrs. Ferris says she knows little
about either Day or the girl, having
met neither of them many times. She
knew of the meeting and of the wed
ding, but nothing more, she said.
From Dr. Humelbaugh it was learned
that Day persuaded his bride to draw
her savings from the bank and intrust
them to him. . How he got possession
of the Jewels is not known, but both
are now gone with the bridegroom.

Men in Portland and Tacoma.
Had several persons in Portland and
Tacoma, Wash., known that John Day
was in Los Angeles courting, then mar

prevented tve marriage and spared the
bride her diamonds, money and humil
iation, as they sought him in connec
tion with the passing of worthless
checks In this city and Tacoma.
Hotels In Portland and Hillsboro, Or.,
Melvin G. Wlnstock, or tne t-eopie a
Amusement Company, and business men
connected with the Summer tournament
Tacoma were victimized by Day,
after which he disappeared. He cashed
several worthless checks in Tacoma, tha
total amount being more than $150, and
disappeared. It Is surmised that he
boarded a steamer for Los Angeles and
t is apparent that he lost little time
in beginning operations arter ne got
there. One of the checks he cashed at
Los Angeles bank was returned to
the institution unhonored by a hank at
Hillsboro on which it was drawn and
in which Day had no account
Day left unpaid hotel bills in Oregon.
Mr. Wlnstock lost $400 by indorsing a
note for Day, who represented that he
had several thousand dollars coming to
him for publicity work at Hillsboro.
As a matter of fact, he had $100 worth
of work there, and when the note be
came due. Day had gone and Wlnstock
was obliged to pay. ,
In Tacoma Day represented that h
was working for the Portland Rose
