IN ENDLESS .DRUDGERY NoSooner Out of Debt Than Driven in Again. FATHER CURRAN'S OPINION He Discusses Ethics of Nonunionlsm JFrankly-Boy's Vain Effort to "Work Out Father' Debts Mac Veagh StriviHgr for Peace SCR ANTON, Pa., Dec. S. The miners, having finished their attack on the Coxe mines,- In tho Hazleton region, today turned the attention of the coal strike commission to the collieries of the B. kle Company, in the same locality. The witnesses for the mineworkers scored what appeared to be telling loints with regard to wages and other conditions prevailing in the mines of this Independ ent company. The. attorney for the com pany was not prepared to cross-examine the witnesses on all the things they testi fied to, and the commission has. granted the company the privilege of recalling the -witnesses to the stand for the purpose of cross-questioning them on the state ments made today. The principal witness called against the Markles was James Gallagher, who -worked in the Markle mines for 20 years.' He asserted that the wages were so low that he was always in debt to the com pany, and that in 17 years he only once Teceived wages in money, and fhat was $50. He further testified that He had to deal at the company's store,,, ?the only place where the miners could-, get credit, and that the prices were from 10 to 20 per cent higher than in dther places. He said he had made large wages and wiped out his debt, but the company would then give him such bad work that he would immediately go into d&bt again. He was evicted from his house, and refused work, but he did not know why employment was not given him. Sally of Irish Wit. The witness, who is aKout CO years of age, and a native of Ireland, keptjthe court constantly in good humor by -his wit and sharp answers to thrusts by law yers. He said a man is never called hurt in the mines until he is half killed. He was halt killed twice. ,he said, which brought out the remark from Chairman Gray that, if he was twice half killed,' then he was now dead. This caused much merriment, but it was turned Into a roar of'laughter when the wit replied that the first half was healed before the other half was injured. Mr. Gallagher said he was evicted from his house, and that ho was refused his position by the company. He" did not know why the company should not take him back, unless it was because his son was the secretary of the local. In an swer to another question, he said prices at the company store were from 10 to 20 per cent higher than at other stores. He had made as high as $70 a month, but that was eaten up in .paying his debts to the company. When he was clear of debt, the company gave him a had place to work, until he was again in debt. The arbitration plan of the Markles was taken up in the examination, and Mr. Gallagher said that the arbitration agree ment was attached to the lease for his house, and he did not know he- was signing such an agreement when he put his name to the lease. The last witness was Frank Ray, a con tract miner. He was explaining condi tions in the mines with reference to the Impure air, and was still on the stand, when the commission, at 1 o'clock, ad journed until 10 o'clock Monday. A 12-year-old breaker boy was called to jtXe stand, and gave testimony to show xnat at; was wonting ui ina .aiuxKie mines to pay off the debt incurred by his father, who was killed in the mines 18 months ago. He received no pay, but was given due bills showing how .much his mother owed the company. The due bills also showed that the debt his mother was In curring, such as house rent, etc., was crowing faster than he could reduce it, as he was only getting 4 cents an hour. Men Who Brealc Strikes. The Rev. J. J. Curran, of Wilkesbarre, resumed the witness stand this morning. Harry Reynolds, one of the lawyers for the Independent operators, after cross- examining Mr. Curran about the condl tlons of violence In the wilkesbarre mines, and wages, asked the clergyman regarding the comparative intelligence of the children of the miners. Father- Cur ran said they compared favorably with omer ennaren. Referring to the nonunion men, Father Curran said most of the people of the coal region believed the miners should have better wages. "If a so-called 'scab takes the place of a man who is trying1 to. get his rights. that so-called 'scab' is doing wrong and an Injustice to the people of his commu nlty," said Father Curran. He admitted that most of the violence committed re sulted from attempts of mineworkers to resume work. John O'Brien, attorney for the non union men, also cross-examined Father Curran. He read Governor Stone's proc lamation, describing the- violence and reign of terror that existed In the region during the strikes, and the clergyman said that some of the things stated in the proclamation did not exist. This con cluded his examination. The conditions prevailing at the Lehigh Valley Company mines will be taken up next. The miners have a large number or witnesses whom they desire to call. and there Is at this time no indication when the hearlnirs will be concluded. Some of the operators desire to place wlt- 3. on . the stand In their defense. s some agreement is reached on any of the points at Issue, It is likely Still Talk: of Settlement. fhlle settlement talk is still heard here. chlng of an authoritative nature has ome to the surface. The belief Is still wc.il tuai an agreement on some Ints will be arrived at before the com- Isslnn la rnnriv t in i President Mitchell will leave here to- Alar morrow night tor New York, to attend the Tegular meeting of the executive committee of the Civic Federation there, next Monday. t MACVBAGH SEES' MORGAN. Coal Operators' Lawyer on Harried Mission to Nevr Yorlc. NEW YORK Dec 6. Wayne MacVeagh, counsel for the Pennsylvania and Hillside coal companies before the arbitration commission, called on J. P. Morgan be fore leaving for Washington, today. He did not meet any of the presidents 'of the coal roads at Mr. Morgan's office, and the purpose of hl3 crl w'a not made known. STILL STRIVES FOR PEACE; MacVeagh Says He Wantu Afrrcemcat Approved by Commission. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6. Wayne ' Mac Veagh arrived here tonight from New York. He said he would continue his ef forts to bring about a complete under standing between the operators and the miners. At no time, he said, had an effort been made to settle the dispute outside the commission. What he had been and Is now striving for, he declared, was to effect an agreement between the operators and miners which could be In- REV. NORMAN HOWARD BARTLETT. " : viv. '.

Mr. MacVeagh said that he would- not return to Scranton unless the interests of the companies represented by him de mand his further presence. REFORM IN MONEY LAW. Absolute Parity of Metals and Elastic Currency Required. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Dec. 6. "What further steps should be taken at this time for the betterment of our monetary system?" Mr. Hugl) H.' Hanna was asked today. Mr. Hanna was chairman of the execu tive committee of 15 created by the Na- uuutu muauiuiy cunierence, nem ul in- dlanapolls In 1S97. and ever since he has been active in pressing the demands of financial reformers. "First," he replied, "our gold standard law of 1900 should be strengthened by ma chinery for maintaining parity between gold and silver. The public mind Is pre pared for as perfect a gold standard as can be established. A law providing for the payment of gold -for silver at the treasury on demand Is the one remain ing step necessary to secure absolute par Ity of all our moneys. Both the Over street bill and the Hill bill, introduced in the last session, make full and wise provision. "Second, an element of elasticity In our National bank currency should be pro vided. A small step, equal In amount to say 10. per cent of the capital of the bank, is sufficient for demonstration of effi ciency and safety. If its- desirability is proved, gradual increase within a term of years, to say 50 per cent of the amount of the capital, with full and unquestioned jjru yisiuii lur uio reuumyuuu ui notes oi i insolvent banks as afforde'd In the Lover ing and other bills is the other step im mediately necessary. "The general subject appeara complex, and our people are, therefore, disinclined to study It. The principles .are simple. The humblest citizen Is interested in the perfection of money laws. "Only the absolute assurance of parity will make a New York bill of exchange as acceptable in tho commerce of the world as a bill of exchange on London. As sured parity, of the metallic currencies and scientific provision for elastic bank currency without risk of redemption will not only strengthen the fiber of our do mestic commercial interests, but will do more, to make impossible the fall of products of American labor than any oth er one act of 'legislation. "That the President, Secretary of tho Treasury, and the Controller of the Cur rency should all so courageously at this time advocate such legislation indicates the growth of public opinion favorable to laws in the Interest of all our people, without preference, the Importance of which should arouse the business .men of the country to the determined, timely support of the effort being made to se cure Congressional action." PROFITS ON .UTILITIES. English Cities Reduce Taxes by Mu nicipal O-nTgship. NEW YORK, DetSfS municipal Jour nal publishes exhaustive tables, says a London dispatch to the Tribune, showing that the estimated profits of various un dertakings, such as gas, water, electric supplies and tramways, are equal, in Liv erpool, to a rate of 10 pence per pound, and fall from that maximum to a,slngle farthlpg at Halifax. The evidence is con clusive that local taxes would be higher In English towns vjf' municipal trading j were not a sourcg of considerable profit. ELK8T0 HONOR DEAD Annua!

GET IN QN GROUND FLOOR Rasso-Amcrlcan Merchant Advises Reciprocity "With Russia. NEW YORK Dec. 6. Enoch Ellery. wealthy merchant of Russia, who, 35 years ago, .left his home In the fishing town of Gloucester to engage In business with a native merchant in a Siberian town, at the mouth of the Amoor River. Is In this city Ho now maintains storehouses In Vladlvo stok and along the Amoor River, at dlf 1 fcrent points, upon Lake Baikal and the trans-Siberian Railroad at Moscow, St. i Petersburg and In Hamburg. He declares the Russian trade demands everything American, from a steel twin-screw steamer to an American shoe. "What the United States and Russia need now and must have," continued Mr, Ellery, "Is a commercial treaty. Two countries, each of which has the warmest and friendliest feeling for the other, have not time to bicker over sugar, oil or any thing else. There Is a country that needs our machinery, our products of every sort The people want It from us rather than from any other country In the world, and we should arrange it so that we could sup ply them. We must have a reciprocal treaty and get Into Russia on the ground floor, and the control of the trade of an empire of 130.000.000 people, and soon to be the 'wealthiest country in the world, will bo ours. "There Is no doubt of Russia's attitude toward this country. We have no better friend on the Continent. The tariff raised against the Unjted States not long ago because of the attitude toward Russian sugar la only an incident. I am- confident it would not last a moment longer than the beginning' of negotiations." Mascaffnl in Trouble. LAWRENCE, Mass., Dec. 6.

MOVES FOR COMMITTEE Fifteen Members to Visit the Territory. REPORT TO NEXT CONGRESS Washington Members Also Ask Ap propriation of ?300,000 for Im mediate. Snrveys, That Set- . tiers May Get Title. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Dec. 6. Representative Jones, of Washington, believes that the surest way of getting intelligent and needed Iegisla- , tlon for Alaska is to educate Congress to the needs of the territory. In line of this policy, he today Introduced a resolu tion authorizing' the Speaker to appoint a committee of la members of the next House to visit Alaska during the com ing Summer and make a report to Con gress next December as to the condition of the people and such legislation as Is needed to develop its resources and se cure its permanent settlement. The proposed committee Is to consist of five members from tho public lands committee, five from the committee on territories', and five from the committee on revision' of the; laws of the House, three members from each committee to be Republicans. The expenses of tho committee are to be paid out of the con tingent fund of the Senate. Representative Jones today introduced a bill appropriating ?300,000 for making surveys in Alaska. He says such an ap propriation Is necessary, as contracts cannot now be made in Alaska or even the maximum Government rate, and if surveys are to be made, in the near future the Secretary of Interior must have funds with which to let contracts at higher than the Government rate. An argument to be made In favor of the .bill Is that no homestead can be made in Alaska until surveys are maae', and Inasmuch flsjthe--. House committee 4s .opposed -to atdon'a-; tlon act as affording temporary relief, permanent settlement must be deferred until this- appropriation and dependent surveys are made. FOR BENEFIT OF IDAHO. Bill for. Sale of Fort Hall Land Pro posed Irrigation Snrveys. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Dec. 6. Senators Dubois and Heltfeld called on the Secretary of the Interior today and urged that the depart ment draft a bill which can be Introduced In the present session looking to the dis posal of the remainder of the Fort Hall lands within the five-mile limit of Poca tello which were not sold last Summer because they were held at 510 an acre. The Secretary promises to have a new bill drafted which will permit of their sale at a more reasonable figure, pos sibly leaving the price to a department representative, who will conduct the sales. The Idaho Senators today called on Hydrographer Newell, of the Geological Survey, to urge the early undertaking of Government Irrigation in their state. While they made no specific recommenda tions, they expressed a preference for the Goose Creek project in Cassia County, and the Mountain Home project in Elmore County. Mr. Newell assured them that early investigations would be made of the lrlgable land In the state, as well a3 of the available water supply. , CONFIRM STATE'S TITLE.

EARTHQUAKE EVERY DAY Shaking of Southern Utah Attributed to Revival of Volcano. SALT LAKE, Dec 6. Since November 17, when an earthquake shook up South ern Utah and as far cs Salt Lake, dally shocks have been felt in the extreme southeastern portion of the state. Ac cording to advices received from Pino Valley, a hamlet In the mountains of Washington County, not a day has passed since that date that at least one earth quake shock has not been felt, and seri ous alarm Is being felt for the safety of the place. "Every chimney in the town has been badly cracked or completely tumbled over. At Pinto, the shocks have been so severe that the public school has been abandoned for several days. . About 15 miles south are five or six old craters, and the continuance of the earth quake shocks, has strengthened the belief that there has been a fresh outbreak oC volcanic activity In the mountains of that region.
