OPEN SESSIONS.
Senator Aldrich Will Offer q Com
promise Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Senator AID
rich, chairman of the senate committee
on rules, has prepared a resolution,
which he will offer in a few days and
ask to have referred to his committee,
proposing certain amendments in the
rules governing executive sessions. The
proposed changes are simple in charac-
ter, but will, the senator thinks, add
materially to the comfort of senators
and at the same time provide legiti-
mate way for the press and the public
which it serves to get timely infOrma-
ton of the Senate'S action upon such
matters as it is proper to make known.
He proposes, i'll regard to nominations,
that the reference to committee, the re-
port of the committee, whether favora-
BILE or adverse, and the action of the
senate shall not be regarded as secrets;
treaties, etc.--that the subject of debate
and the action of the senate shall not be
regarded as secret, unless by resolution
the injunction of secrecy be placed upon
such subject or such action. This, in
effect, should the resolution be
adopted, will make public such por-
tionS of the senate journal as are not
covered by special injunction of Sc
crecy, but will leave to senators the
privilege OF discussing ana VOtlng upon
all executive matters with their present
freedom from public observation and
knowledge. Senator Aldrich believes
the proposed amendments will afford
senators means of correcting the many
erroneous statements which get abroad
respecting executive session proceed
ings; will give public information of
that which the public has right to
know, and will have tendency to keep
secret that which is thought expedient,
for diplomatic or other reasons, to con-
eeal. The existing rules are based upon
the theory that it is necessary to keep
everything secret, because, half dozen
times. perhaS, in a session, subjects
come up which should not be publicly
mentioned. Senator Aldrich favOrs the
opposite theory that everything should
be public, except when there is some
affirmative reason for secrecy. He is
personally in favor of Senator Platt's
resolution, but, recogniz-
ing the possibility that a majority of
the senate may not be found to support
it, he proposes measure which seems
likely to commend itself to many SEN
ators who would not open the doors.

. WASHINGTON, Jan. 81 am in need
of money and am not ashamed to work
for it," Thus at one time spoke Ulysses
s. Grant, when he was an eX-army officer
and INDECENT. The same language was
to-day used by Maj. Reno, the man who
failed to march to the relief of Custer
on the Little Big Horn in time to pre-
vent the massacre. Poor Reno, how he
has fallen ever since that campaign.
Gradually, step by step, he has come
from his splendid position in the regular
army, until now he is an emplOye in the
pension Office. Senator Davis, of Min
nesota, has been his friend in need. For
the past two years Reno has been get
ting nearer and nearer to the door which
opens upon abject poverty. The in
diligence in alcoholic drinks has not
tended to lift him to more elevated
plane. His rooms at the National hotel
have long since been given up. The
handsome turnout has disappeared. The
sturdy figure has been seen latterly as
a pedestrian and not as graceful driver
of fiery steed. Always soldierly in
bearing, with head and face so strong
that it has attracted attention Oh every
hand, he has walked from proud posi-
ton to penury. Hence, as he reported
for duty to-day to an excellent veteran
general officer of the volunteer army, he
said: General, am in need of money,
and am not ashamed to work for it,"
The scene was dramatic, thrilling, yet
pitiful. Grant rose from humber cir
cumstances. That Reno may also rise
is sincere wish of all who know him.
He is soldier of magnificent natural
ability, supplemented by West Points
rigid training, education and discipline.

A FAMINE FEARED.
Fears of a Coal Famine Exist if
the Mines Are Idle Many DAYS,

READING, Pa, Jan 3.-Had the strike
on the Reading railroad been unsuc-
cessful, and traffic been entirely par
alyzed, there could not have been more
genuine alarm throughout the great in
dustrial regions of the Schuylkill valley
than there is to-day. The proprietors
of large furnaces and iron works in this
section predict that if the mines are
shut down for two weeks that the ma
jOrity of the large establishments will
be obliged to close, owing to the lack of
a supply of coal. Many of them have
been running for weeks short of coal
and most of them have less than
weeks supply on hand. They gave the
railroad company orders for coal over a
month ago, bnt the officials have not
been able to fill them. If the
strik continues any length of time many
smaller establishments in this city and
vicinity will be compelled to close down.
All the industrial cities and towns in
this section, such as Reading, Birdsboro,
NOrristOwn, POttstown, Hamburg and
smaller places receive their coal over
the Reading railroad, and, with the
stoppage of work at the mines, trade
will be entirely paralyZed. The Penn
slvania railroad ships very little coal
to these places. 1t is estimated that in
this city alone from 5000 to 5000 men
are employed in the iron works which
are in urgent need Of coal. Not one
has over a weeks supply. The time be-

A PROCLAMATION
Regarding Certain Lands in the
Indian Territory,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The president
has issued the following proclamation:
Whereas, The title to all that terri
tory lying between the north and south
forks of the Red river, and the hun
dredth degree of longitude and jurisdic-
tlOn over the same, are vested in the
United States, it being a part of the In
dian territory, as shown by surveys and
investigation made on behalf of the
United States, which territory the state
of Texas also claims title to and juris-
dictiOn over; and,
Whereas, Said conflicting claim grows
out of a controversy existing between
the United States and the state of Texas
as to the point where the hundredth de-
gree of longitude crosses the Red river,
as described in the treaty of Feb. %,
1919, between the United States and
Spain, fixing the boundary lines be-
tween the two countries; and,
Whereas, The commissioners appoint
ed on the part of the United States, un-
der the act of Jan. 81, 1885, authorizing
the appointment of commission by the
president to run and mark the boundary
lines between a portion of the Indian
territory and the state of Texas, in con-
nectiOn with similar commission to be
appointed by the state of Texas, have
by their report determined that the
south fork is the true Red river desig-
mated in the treaty; the commissioners
appointed on the part of said state re-
fusing to concur in said report;
Now, therefore, I, Grover Cleveland,
president of the United States, do hereby
admOnish and warn all persons. whether
claiming to act as officers of the county
of Greer, in the state of Texas, or other
wise, against selling or dispOsing of,
or attempting to sell or dispose of, said
lands, or from exercising, or attempting
to exercise, any authority over said
lands. And l also warn and admonish
all persons against purchasing any part
of said territory from any person or per-
sons whOmsoever.
In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed. Done at
the city of Washington, this 30th day of
December, in the year of our Lord 1887,
and of the Independence of the United
States the 112th. By the president,
GROVER CLEVELAND.

tween sundown and daylight is usually
the busy time for the shipment Of coal
over the Reading road. The average
run of cars through this city during
these hours is 1000 cars. Last night
but 1000 were run down, and to-day
only few short trains went down
the road. Reports received to-
day show that of the sixty
eight collieries in the Schuylkill region
forty of the largest of which are con-
trolled by the Reading company, but
six are at work. The members of the
knights of Labor in this city, while
refusing to strike, have promised the
Schuylkill miners financial support the
same as they are giving the men in the
Lehigh region. There is movement
on foot among the business men of
the Schuylkill valley to hold meeting
in this city and bring such pressure to
bear upon President Corbin as to cause
him to consent to arbitration of the
miners strike at least. 1t is argued
that the immense industries of this
section of the state cannot afford such a
fearful paralyZing of business and trade.
The strike will not only throw 10000
miners out of employment, but 10000
iron workers as well.

signments.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Speaker Car
Isle was in his private room at the
capitol this morning busily engaged in
finishing his committee assignments.
He was subject to such constant inter-
ruptions, however, that he was obliged
to leave the capitol and seek quietude
at his hotel. Although the committee
list is practically completed, and will
in all probability be announced as soon
as the house assemblies tomorrow, there
is possibility of pOstpOnement of the
announcement until the following day.
The committees having been an
nounced, there will be an effort made to
have "bill day. Immediately, but as
motion to this effect would require unan-
imouS OnSent, and as many members
think it would be unwise to have a flood
of propositions poured into the house
before the formal organization of the
committees, it is improbable that the
effort will succeed. In the event of it's
failure the house will adjourn until
Saturday and the real work of the seS-
sion will begin next Monday.

in an interview this evening said there
are 10000 miners out in the SchuylkilI
region, and they will stay out till their
demands are granted. The Reading
company will be compelled to surrender
to the men or coal famine will
follow. Lee says a number of private
operators have already granted the de-
mands of the men. The object Of Lees
visit to Scranton is to get Powderly to

THE MOTHER'S DESPAIR
COntrasted With the Sons Reck-
less Laughter.

Tim Barrett was the coolest man in
the room when the verdict was an
nOunced. His eyes followed the paper
as it passed from the jury to the clerk,
and when the announcement came he
gave nO:sign. There was no change of
color, no clenching of the hands, no
twitching of the mOuth-nOthing to in
dicate that he was in any way con-
cerned. He spoke to his counsel and a
faint smile played on his race, and he
held out his hauds for the "bracelets"
with the easiest effrontery. He is either
braZen ruffan or an imbecile. His
step down the stairs and along the hall
was as firm as that of the officer con-
Quoting him. When he entered the jail
Peter called out:
"What was it, Tim?"
"Guilty. First degree" he replied,
and as the door closed he laughed.
Just at the same moment wild cry
rang out through the lower part of the
court house.
'Oh, GOdi oh, Godr'
1t was his poor old mother, who had
come into the sherlff's Office and just
learned the verdict. Her grief was ter
rible and she wrung her hands and tore
her hair in agony. All the bad that was
said about her was forgotten then, and
lle lew spectators saw III ner mourning
but mother whose heart was nigh to
breaking. She begged piteously to be
allowed to see Tim at ence. but her re-
quest was denied. She could see him
next morning, but not then. A kind
hearted deputy led her away and saw
her aboard the car that would take her
home.
1t was suggestive of the old fable of
the "horn book" but few were disposed
to draw a moral under the circum-
stances.
LATER.
Some concern was felt last night that
she might do herself some injury. She
refused to go to hotel or to go home,
but insisted that she must see Attorney
w. A. Donohue, one of the counsel for
the defense. That gentleman was not
at his Office, and the deputy left her
standing in front of the door, as she re-
fused to go elsewhere. The police
looked for her shortly afterwards, but
she bad disappeared, and had not been
found up to l O'Clock this morning. 1t
was feared that she might attempt to
kill herself, but, as none of the patrol
men had seen her, it was conjectured
that she had gone to her daughters,

CHARGED BY THE COURT.
The Instruction Conceded to Be
Very Fair and ImpartiaI.

very anu
The charge of Judge Lochren was
held to be extremely fair and giving to
the defense all it could ask. Mr.. Erwin
submitted ten instructions, all of which
were given to the jury. The court gave
the usual eXOrdium, impressing the jury
with the gravity of the case and the ne
ceSSity OF calm, unlmpaSSiOned cOnSid-
Grafton of the evidence. He referred to
the safeguards which the law throws
about man on trial for his life and re-
quireS not merely a prepOnderance
of evidence, but certainty beyond
reasonable doubt. The prisoner
is presumed to be innocent until proved
guilty, and must be SO held by the jury.
When circumStantial evidence is relied
upon there must be no reasonable or
plausible theory of the crime, disassO-
ciated from the prisoner, or conviction
cannot follow. The law in relation to
the testimony of an accomplice was
fully rehearsed, and the jury cautioned
against everything that could possibly
evidence not in dispute, and referred to
which had and had not been corrob-
Grated. If the story of Henry Barrett
is true and corrOborated, then all three
of the BarrettS were guilty of murder in
the first degree. and the jury. in this
case, must bring in verdict either for
acquittal or murder in the first degree.
The defense made no exception to the
charge, and the jury, at precisely S
o'clock and 81 minutes. was sent to its

minutes past Z when verdict was

Purchased a Silver Mine.

CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 26.-St. Louis
and Chicago people have bought the
famous Santa Ana silver mine in
Sonora. The property being flooded,
was abandoned in 1912. Since that
time efforts have been made to pump
out the water. but all operations were
abandoned on account of the presence
of hostile Indians. The new owners
have sunk a shaft, and expect soon to
reach point directly underneath
where the richest ore was taken out in
ancient times. If a rich deposit is
struck the mine will be thoroughly
pumped out.
