Judge Brown. by a carefully prepared
opinion, so comprehensive as TO cover
all the points in controversy. decided the

that the courts have no power in such
cases. except where the legislative
branch of the state government has been
guilty of gross indiscretion. The
plaintiff was given the privil-
ege of amending his complaint so as to
show a sufficiency of facts.
Mr. Winters asked an exception to the

TERRE HAUTE, April Especial
The bituminous miners Of this county
and the Sullivan county region join in
the strike today. and so far as known
at the headquarters of the Indiana mi
ners in this city there are no assertions
or refusals on the part of the bituminous
miners to quit work
Secretary Kennedy tonight estimates
that practically all Of the 5000 bitumin-
Gus miners OF Indiana joined the strike
today. The officials here are enthusiasts
tic and confident. The Indiana miners
of all classes number 5000.
The block coal miners number 1000
and the unoTganized miners 1000. The
block coal operators will work till May
l, and if a satisfactory contract is then
made they will keep at work.
The feeling between the bituminous
and block coal miners of Indiana is not
at all pleasant, and 1t was made more
acute the other day when the block
coal miners refused to hear a speech
from Secretary Kennedy, urging them
TO join the strike
The unorganized miners will more
than likely join the strike. In fact some
reports that have been received here in
organized miners also quit work.
If the block coal miners had also quit
work the strike would have been a most
complete strike of the Indiana miners.
WASHINGTON, Ind. April 21.-Spe-
cial.-All the bituminous miners in this
county quit at noon today as per
schedule of general strike orders. Block
coal miners 1id not strike as far as
In

EVANSVILLE. April 21.-speciaL-
The coal miners strike hasn't affected
Evansville very seriously as yet Only
one mine is idle-the First-ave mine
The men at Ingles, Diamond, Sunny
Side and the Cooperative were at work
this afternoon.
The situation in he neighborhood IS
described about thus: In those mines
that are paying day wages the men will
not come out of the mines while those
miners affected by the tonnage scale are
ready to join the movement.
There Will be a meeting of all the
miners here tomorrow, at which time
the situation will De more fully dis
cussed The prospects are largely
against a general strike here. as the men
are not organized for strike and can
not be so organized at present.
The men are getting better wages and
steadier work than for some time, and
as a consequence they are better salts
fed.
There are no indications here today
OF general strike, and if the men do
60 out they will surprise the mine-own-
ers.
There has been considerable talk of
strike. but II has amounted TO no more

NOT ANXIOUS TO GO OUT.
Kansas Miners Fighting Shy of An
other Strike After Failing I'm One.


other Strike After Failing I'm One.
TOPEKA, April 21.-Advices from va
rious parts of Kansas today show that
the coal miners in this state are not pay
ing much attention to the strike order
issued by the United mine workers of
America. Only a small number of the
5000 miners in the state belong to the
association. and none of them are anX-
ioUs to quit work. y great many have
been idle for months and are not i'm
position to maintain strike The fact,
too, that they have but recently been
engaged in an unsuccessful strike. which
made their condition worse rather than
better, inclines them to fight shy of an
other walkout. Instead of acceding TO
their demands the mine owners imported
over one thousand negroes from Alabama
to take the strikers places. and most of
the colOred men are still at work. The
white miners who are at work I'm the
southeastern part Of the state have little
faith in a strike under existing circum-
stances, and are not at all anxious to
unite with the men in other parts of
the country. who stand a better show of
winning Furthermore the operators
have an immense amount of coal on
hand and could shut down for a time
at least. without any serious detriment
to their business. They would cease
operations rather than listen to a demand
for a higher scale.

VIII Not stri' e I'm Iowa.

DIES MONIES. April 21.-The strike
ordered by the United mine work
ers of America TO begin today has
not extended to the Iowa mines. and it
is not believed the men i'm this section
will join the movement. Comparatively
few miners belong to the order in this
state, and the command to strike there
fore, has no effect on the large majority
here. In any event, they are not in
position TO leave their employment.
Work has been dull, and many are deeply
in debt and could not afford to quit at
the present time. A few organizers are
endeavOring to work up a sympathy
strike, but they meet with little encour-
agement. Dispatches from Oskaloosa,
the center of the Iowa coal belt. say that
miners in shat section show signs of
quitting. They are not financially able
to take part in a strike.
OTTUMWA, April 21.-No strikers are
reported here among the miners except
at Centerville. Wages have not been re-
duced anywhere except at Centerville
It is not thought the Iowa miners gen.
orally will go out. as they do not belong
to the miners union.
OSkALOOSA, April 21.-None of the
miners at the five Mahaska camps will
come out. All are working and will con-
tirue according TO their declarations.

At Other Points.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., April 21.-So far
as can be learned not a single miner
went out in Wyoming.
MACON Mo, April 21.--Three hum
dred Bever miners suspended work to-
day. There are very few men working
at ArdmOre, 1. T., and they decided not
to go out.
SEATTLE. Wash. April 21.-There is
no probability of a strike among the
coal miners of Washington. Two-thirds
of the miners are negroes imported
three years ago to break strike, and
all have accepted the reductions with
some grumbling.

One day after one U these rains was, with some difficulty, picking my way across the stream by means of the stones, of which there were many carried in my hand my overshoes-a new pair, lined inside with blue. Tscre had arisen a slight difference between my mother and myself as 10 whether l wouid need them CT not, and to gratify her had started from ,he house with them on But he'd wielsedly removed them the moment her ovcr-anxious eye could no longer watch over me.
 Had not done so tho chances are I would not have slipped from stone and fallen full length in that cold, muddy water. Norin my efforts to re- gain the perpendicular would I have lost my hold on the overshoes and been compelled to stand and watch them whirl down the stream on their solcs, with the blue Things conspicuous in the sunlight.
 What struck me as most remarkable was that they kept side by side, wind- ing their way in and out among the stones, or bobbing over them with a rush. As far as could see them they were still side by side.
 A short time after my plunge in the brook read in the Baltimore Sun that Capt. -, of the schooner -, had found floating down one of the lower rivers Of Maryland a pair cf ladys overshoes, new and lined with bluc-and what struck him as SC very curious was that they were floating on their soles and keeping side by sidei He had watched them for some time and concluded it would be worth while to rescue them.
 I wrote to the captain at once, and he promptly returned me the over shoes just as they had dropped from my hand.-Illustrated American.
