his side Of the case though 1t has been
said that he could If he would divulge
some startling information in regard to
Professor Bemis's separation from the uni

that the real reasons for the severing of re-

OPERATORS WILL FIGHT. Z
Will Resist Demand for 6O-Cent Rate
in This State.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE. Ind. Aug. S.-There was
another meeting of bituminous operators
last night to make more perfect the COM
bination to resist the demand of the miners
for the 60-cent rate. At the meeting the
night before about 80 per cent. of the tom
mage of the State was represented, and last
night practically all the remainder was
brought into line, including the operators
from along the Vandalia main line and
those about Grant. The State has been d.
vided into districts, and each district is to
sign its own contract with the miners. The
first district is to include the Evansville
field and the mines on the Ohio & Missis-
sippi road. The second district is Greene
county and some mines near the line of
that county; The third district is Sullivan
county. The fourth is Vigo and Parke
counties, and the fifth is Vermillion county,
or what has been known as the Clinton dis
go to work at 81 cents. 1t was agreed at
last nights meeting that the operators
should no longer have any dealing with the
United Mine Workers, but that In each dis
trict the men are to be dealt with through
committees. 1t means a determined fight
for the 5l-cent rate until Oct. l, and 60
cents when the new scale is made. 1t in
dicates that the Indiana operators have not
only cut loose from the miners organiza-
ton, but from the interstate agreement
was on an agreement to have the scale year
begin Jan. l.. The Indiana operators say
they have been keeping faith with all sides
in the past few years, with the result that
the States. output has not increased, but
that, on the contrary. Indiana coal has
been shut out Of many markets, while the
coal from other fields, mined at prices fixed
by the operators, has taken its place.

A SPIRIT DETECTIVE.
1t Tells of the Murder of a Woman
Who Was Found Dead.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. s. - seance Of
more than ordinary interest was held at
the Spiritualists' camp ground at Chester
field, last night, the result of which will be
awaited by Spiritualists and unbelievers
alike as a test Of spirits to do what is
claimed for them. Some days ago Mr..
Henry Seybold. a wealthy farmer. Of Cass
county. was at once an interested attendant
on the seances. While his avowed purpose
was that Of investigating spiritualism. it
row develops there was a deeper motive. At
the seance last night Mr.. SeyboId was re-
warded for his patience, and received a
message from a sister that may be the
means of bringing a murderer to justice.
Three years ago last July the widowed
farm, some little distance from the house.
She had gone to a woods pasture TO milk,
and when she did not return a search re-
suited in finding her lying in the woods
with her head crushed. an arm and shout
Ger broken, and her body badly bruised.
She had been living on the farm with a
hired man and a young girl for company.
Her death was attributed to an attack of a
vicious bull that was found in the woods.
but her brother and other members of the
family entertained suspicious of a different
character, centering On a former employe.
1t was known that the old lady had 81 800
In her possession. and that she had missed
several small sums while the man was in
her employ, but the suspicion did not war
rant an arrest. although at the time of her
death the money was not found, and could
not be after the most persistent search.
Finally the matter was dropped, and death
by accident accepted reluctantly by the rel
atives. The seance of last night, however,
puts a new phase on the matter, and Mr..
Seybold has returned home, passing through
here to-day. TO institute an investigation
that may find the real murderer OF his sister.
The spirit of his sister appeared to him
in the seance and related 10 him the manner
Of her death. Several other persons were
present. and the event has caused great
commotion at the camp ground. The spirit
insisted that she was attacked by three
men and killed with an AK, and then de-
scribed where the ak had been buried. The
scene was quite realistic. and groans were
audible to those in the room. The name of
one of her assailants was given. but she re-
fused to give the others. saying that they
would confess when the one named was
found. Mr.. Seybold has all faith in the
revelations made TO him last night. and is
confident that he will find the ak as de-
scribed. and will then begin the search for
the man whose name was given

trustee of Adams township, is having more
than his share of trouble in effecting a
settlement with the County commissioners
which body adjourned last night after ap-
proving all the reports except that Of
Trustee f'orney. The latter submitted a
report which disclosed an indebtedness Of
more tina $1,000 by the township to the
retiring official. There are court judy
ments against the township for more than
81, 200, caused by the reckless expendi-
lures of this Democratic official, and there
ing warrants which were not reported by
Mr.. Forney.
Forty of the leading citizens and tax
payers Of that township have signed a
remonstrance which is now In possession
of the commissioners, against a settle
ment until his official acts have been
thoroughly investigated and a complete re-
port made, showing what the legitimate
debt of the township is. A few years ago
Forney was duped into the purchase o.
nearly $1,000 worth of charts and manikins
that were never used In the schools. He
has been trustee for seven years, and in
all that time a full settlement has never
aroused and a complete. investigation will
be made. Before the. board of commits
sioners adjourned Forney made a bold
stroke by refusing to turn over the office
to his successor. Liscom Titus. a Repub-
lican, unless the commissioners accepted
refused to do so, and Liscom is in charge
