coal strike set for April 1 and no
hone of a postponement or of ini
tiation of a separate state wage
agreement could be found, Frank
Farriugton, president, or tte Illi
nois miners, told beads of the
state operators' association in
conferei.ee here today. Only an
fmereency could change the situa
tion, which now prevents him
from negotiating a new wage con
tract, Mr. Farrington told the op
eiatois, it was learned.
New York, March 29. (By As
sociated Press.) Casting aside as
a "remote possibility" the pros
pect of settling their differences
in time to avert the general strike
set for three days hence, members
of the anthracite sub-committee
on wage contract negotiations to
day girded themselves for a long,
hard struggle over the miners ID
demands.
"Nothing but a miracle the
immediate acceptance of each and
every one of our demands can
avert the strike now," said Thos.
Kennedy, district president of the
United Mine Workers.
Under the present circum
stances, it Is probable that the
suspension will go Into effect
April 1, according to the miners
program," said S. B. Warriner,
vice-president of the Lehigh Coal
& Navigation company.
Conferees Gather. j
Although sanguine of the ulti
mate success of the negotiations
now in progress the six other mem
bers of the anthracite sub-committee
composed of union chiefs and
mine operators, were convinced
that the mines would be evacuated
Saturday.
With discussion of the miners'
demand for a 20 per cent increase
scheduled to begin today, after
two weeks devoted to general sur
veys of economic and labor condi
tions In the mines of Pennsyl
vania, union chiefs and mine oper
ators began to drift into the city
to be at the scene of the develop
ments.
Phillip Murray, vice-president
of the United Mine Workers of
America, scouts the report that
importation of British mined soft
coal will lessen the danger of a
bituminous coal shortage and
thereby hurt the cause of the
miners in the forthcoming strike.

Fingers, Is Gone
San Francisco, Cal., March 29.
Kate Brennan, one of the prin
cipal defense witnesses in the
third manslaughter trial of Ros
joe C. (Fatty) Arbuckle, has dis
appeared, according to affidavits
presented in court today by the
defense.
She was a maid at the hotel St.
iTrancis who testified in previous
trials that shortly after the party
.n Arbuckle's suit, where Miss
Virginia Rappe as seized with
the illness that was followed by
her death four days later, she
wiped off the door on which, ac
cording to prosecution testimony,
finger prints of Arbuckle and Miss
Rappe subsequently were found.
Want Ttestimony Read.
The defense contended that her
rubbing with a dust cloth was
sufficient to obliterate any finger
prints which the door might have
.shown.
The defense affidavits of her
disappearance were introduced to
day as preliminaries to a motion
.hat he testimony In the second
-rial be read.
- In reply to testimony yester
day by Mrs. Virginia Brelg, sec
retary to Dr. Francis B. Wake
field, at whose sanltorlum Miss
-lappe died, regarding an accusa
tion she said Miss Rappe had made
against Arbuckle, the defense to
day called as a witness Miss Lu
cille Dunne, secretary to Gavin
McNab, chief counsel for Ar
juckle. Evidence Challenged.
When Mrs." Breig testified yes
terday that she telephoned to Mc
Nab a few days ago asking who
ivould pay Miss Rappe's hospital
Jill of $63, McNab asked her if it
was not true that she had threat
ened to testify for the prosecution
.( Miss Rappe's bill was not paid.
Mrs. Breig denied making such a
threat, but Miss Dunne, testified
.oday that she was on the tele
phone at the same time as McNab
and that Mrs. Breig actually made
such an assertion.
Miss Dunne started to relate the
conversation, but was stopped by
he court, pending arguments as
to the admissibility of her testi
mony. Dr. E. M. Rumwell, who attend
ed Miss Rappe from the day after
the Arbuckle party until her
death, said she told him on his
iirst visit that she had been intox
icated the day before. His diag
nosis of the case, which included
.his statement, was introduced by
.he defense over- the objection of
.he prosecution.
Saw Bruises on Ann.
Dr. Rumwell said Mrs. Bambina
Maude Delmont, who swore to the
murder complaint against Ar
buckle on which he was first for
mally arrested was present most
if the time that he attended Miss
Rappe, but he was not permitted
to relate any of the conversation
he had with her.
After Miss Rappe's death, Dr.
Rumwell testified, he noticed for
the first time bruises on her arm
that apparently were caused be
fore her death. They might have
been caused by some one taking
hold of her arm forcibly, he said.

J. Ogden Armour, head of Arm
our and company, was the first
witness when the department of
agriculture's hearing of charges
of unfair practices at the Mis
tletoe stock yards was resumed
here today.
Mr. Armour was Bubpoenaed by
the plaintiffs who include rep
resentatives of the Kansas City
Livestock ' Exchange, together
with a large number of Kansas
and Missouri livestock associa
tions. Objections Sustained
Mr. Armour was asked to ex
plain the organization of Armour
and company, but an objection to
the question was sustained. He
testified that the Fowler Packing
company, operating the MiBtletoe
yards, Is a subsidiary of the
Armour Interests and that all its
stock Is owned by Armour and
company.
The witness said the yards
were taken over at the time Arm
our and company acquired the
Fowler properties and were con
tinued in operation for the con
venience of the Fowler plant.
Asked how prices paid produc
ers at the yards were determfn
ed, he replied:
Prices Fixed at Yards
"I understand we fix the price
at the yards after the hogs are
received."
Mr. Armour said he understood
it was a practice to have only one
shipper at a given point consign
hogs to the Mistletoe yards.
Mr. Armour testified that ev
ery packer in Kansas City has to
buy hogs from farmers because
there are enough on the puonc
market to supply the packers re
quirements. He said receipts at
Mistletoe yards were too smau io

AS ADMINISTRATOR ASKED
Petition for the removal of M.
J. Hunt, administrator re bonis
non of the estate of Mary K. Hunt
was filed by the heirs at law this
morning in the probate court.
The petition states that a Bharp
conflict of financial Interests be

istrator, and the heirs of the es
tate, makes necessary the appoint
ment of Alice Hunt as administra
trix of the estate.

estates of the administrators and
that of Mary E. Hunt, grew out
of the close personal and finan
cial relationship of the two, A. H.
Hunt having kept his accounts
and that of the estate with his
own.

bers of the Dail Eireann at a
meeting here yesterday adopted a
resolution proposing immediate
suspension of the political cam

der that the factions may unite to
"compel cessation ot the murder
of Catholics In Belfast."
The resolution declared that the
division In the Dail and the coun

to proceed no further with their
campaign, allowing public atten

PRICE TWO CENTS
Robert J. Smith, 45, said to be
the scion ot a wealthy Astoria
family, who was arraigned In the
Salem police court this morning
on a charge of possessing liquor,
declared that, in the future, he
will make two tall lights bloom
where none was gleaming last
night.
The meticulously clad Mr.
Smith, who might well take his
morning exercises by raising a few
times above his head the heavy
diamonds which he wears, lays all
his trouble to defective wiring on
his eight-cylinder blue roadster.
For want of connections his tall
light was lost; for want of a tall
light his fredom was lost; through
lack of his freeSjm his whlakey
was lost; through loss of hie whis
key his bank roll was lost and all
for the want of a proper connec
tion. "Where did you get the liq
uor?" Judge Earl Race asked
Smith after he had pleaded guilty.
"Cast In to shore by the waters
of the Columbia," Mr. Smith ex
plained. "You see, the boats
come to our shores loaded with il
licit booze; sometimes' they are
raided by officers and at such
times members of the crew toss
kegs of the stuff into the river.
Subsequently sometimes these
kegs wash up on the shores. A
neighbor of mine was fortunate
enough to find one of these the
other day and he split with me."
Smith was arrested last night
for failure to have a taH light. At
the station where he later ap
peared, officers Bald they Bmelled
liquor. While Smith was talking
over the counter, one of the pa
trolmen searched his car and dis
covered about a half pint of liq
uor. He was released on $100
cash ball.
Today Smith paid a fins of $25
which was assessed by Judge
Race. Smith' father, It wag said,
Is a prominent Astoria lumber
man.
"I'll take no more chances with
tall UghtB," Smith told Chief
Moffltt. "In the future I'm go
ing to burn two."

ards. "Well, I am 100 per cent wet
myself," said Chairman Snyder,
"but I confess that this informa
tion Is astounding. I would have
thought that In dry times."
"What do they drink?" the
judge was asked.
"Anything," Bald the Judge.
"They drink shoe polish, red Ink,
