COLUMBUS, o., April 21.--The meeting of
the national executive board OF the united
mine workers was conducted today with the
strictest secrecy and but little news of what

ninth state president of the eleven who have
come to consult with the executive board re

CHICAGO, April 27.-The fight against the
yardage charge on cattle by the Union stock
yards company by Nelson Morris on behalf
OF himself, Armour & Co. and Swift & Co.,
began this morning The first lot of cattle
consigned to the private yards built by Morris
arrived this morning, and in order to reach the
yards it was necessary for the cars to be run
over the tracks owned and operated
by the stockyards company. Morris
was advised that he could COM
pei the company to allow him
the use Of these tracks by the payment Of
reasonable tolls. The company, however, re-
fused to allow their use spiking switches and
putting guard over them. Morris will ap-
ply to the courts for an order compelling the
stockyards company to transport his cattle
to the yards.
Later in the day the stockyards company
won at least temporary victory, as the cat
tie need food and water and Morris was
forced to permit their unloading in the regu-
lar yards.

the Scene Shifters.

the Scene Shifters.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April 27.-[Special
Telegram to THE BEE. Sarah Bernhardt
did star piece of acting Saturday night, but
IL was behind the scenes and only profess
sionals witnessed it, Because Sarah's
favorite servant, the Turkish Angelo, per-
sisted in coming on the stage against the
orders OF Manager Bouvier, two of the scene
shifters gave him black eye and made an
ugly cut on his forehead. When Bernhardt
learned of the assault, she descended upon
the four scene shifters like a living fury and
poured forth a storm of French expletives
that would have withered them had they
understood the Gaelic tongue AS 1t
was, the only thing they caught
was her demand for revolver,
and as she looked as she does when lingering
the dagger before killing Escarpa, they ali
fell back in alright.
Then the members Of the company rushed
TO Saran's assistance ami ranged themselves
beside her on the stage. The scene shifters
also assembled in all their strength and for
three-quarters OF an hour there was Just as
pretty row at the opera house as ever oc-
Cured at Dounybrook fair Meanwhile
the audience was waiting and wondering why
the performance did not go on. Sarah re-
fused to continue unless every man Jack of
the scene shifters was relegated to the deepest
pits of Oblivion and tied there. Finally the
men who had beaten Angelo were removed
by special policeman and the play went on
Now Sarah says she is afraid to go out for
fear Of being mobbed by the free American

Lincoln Has an Easy Time Defeating
the Nine ApostIcs

LINcoLS, Mob, April 27-ISpecial Tele-
gram to Tue BEE. The Lincoln ball club
beat the Apostles today by hard hitting and
Stafford's twirling. The st. Pauls were
beaten from the start. They did not even
succeed in tying the score with the Farmers
Alliance team in any inning. The Apostles
did almost as well as they did yesterday, but
the Lincolnians played ball today. Never
theless, they made some rank errors
The Farmers easily caught onto Osbornes
style OF pitching today, although two DAYS
ago he was the prime factor IN the shut-out
of the I.incolnians.
The Farmers first took the box.
Cline and Raymond went out Jack
Rowe was hit by pitcher and given first.
Irwin sent a big fly to left and brought Rowe
In. Stafford put grounder in almost the
same place and brought Irwin in. The Farm
ers then sought the pasture and goose egg
greeted the efforts OF the Apostles.
In tho second inning Wilson hunted and
made first Cline was hit by pitcher, Ray
mond struck to second and made FIRST but
Cline was forced out. Jack Rowe
sent the ball to the left field and
brought In Wilson. Irwin followed
suit with Raymond and good lick
by Stafford did the same for Rowe. The
score then stood q to 0, Gcodenough made
the only tally for the Apostles in the last
half Of the second.
For four innings after that only one score
was made and that was credited to Jack
Rowe. He got his base on balls, got second
on Irwin's base hit, and came in by Burketts
strike to right field and A6bey's failure to
stop the ball.
In the seventh inning the Farmers piled up
four more runs. Trafhey, Wilson and
Cline each got base ON balls, but
Trafley was put out on second. Then
Raymond sent the sphere with terrible force
TO right field, and Wilson crossed the home
plate Then Jack Rowe picked up the club

HUMAN FLIGHT. THROUGH AIR.
Eminent Scientists Dispute the AS

Lhiheht SclentlStS dispute the As
sertions of Prof. Langley.
WASHINGTON, April 2I-[Special Telegram
to THE BEE. PROF. LanRley's recent as SER
tion that the problem of human flight through
the air had been solved has aroused num-
Der OF protests from eminent scientists. One
of these comes from Prof. Hazen of the
signal office. He says there are insurmount-
able obstacles to perfecting flying machine
which Prof Langley and other scientists
Will never be able to overcome. Prof. Hazen
states the obstacles thus l. 1t is impossible
TO use the food which the bird uses to de-
velope power by any contrivance which can
ever be invented that will give one tithe of
the effect that the bird gets-that is to say
while possibly spring or other application
of force, by using up an enormous
amount OF energy IN very short time, might
momentarily initiate bird, yet the motive
power in such case would be very rapidly
used up g 1t is impossible by the most deli
cate mechanism and most perfect wings to
equal the perfection and adaptability of the
bird in its own element. 3. There is limit
OF weight beyond which it is impossible for a
bird to fly. 1t is probable that the ostrich
had the power OF flight in ages gone by. but
when its environment became such that it
did not need to use its wings to escape from
enemies, or when it began to grow larger
from any favorlng circumstances it used it's
wings less and less so that now it is entirely
incapable of fight. 1t is probable that the
condor, weighing fifty pounds and with a
spread OF wings OF fourteen feet, is very near
the limit OF weight.,n We may conclude, then,
that we can never equal a bird, and hence
that self-raising, oself-supporting and self
propelling flying machine cannot possibly be
built to carry man. -
