RATCHFORD is DISCOURAGED.
Failed Signally in His Attempt to Set
tie the Coal Strike In West
Virginia.

Charleston. w. Va, Oct. 1.-THE efforts
to adjust the difference between the coal
operators of the Kanawha valley and their
men has failed absolutely and President
Ratchford left tonight for Columbus. dis
heartened over his failure. Two confer
ences were held to-day between a COM
mittee of miners. including President
Ratchford and Chris Evans, and a COM
mittee of operators. The price offered by
the operators was so cents for soft and SO
cents for hard coal. The miners accepted
this, but when the question of signed
agreement, to bind all the operators, was
presented they objected. They wanted the
owner of each individual mine to make and
sign separate contract. This was the
first disagreement. and the second one
was on a demand made by the miners that
the men should not be Disseminated
against for not dealing at the company
stores. The operators refused to agree to
this and the conference was at an end
President Ratchford feels bitter toward the
operators. He said he came here fully de-
termined to settle the strike in some way
The miners, he said. had conceded nearly
every vital point and he was convinced
that the operators were determined to fight
the miners organization in West Virginia
He says the fight will he continued on the
part of the coal diggers and he does not
now hope to see a settlement at any time
soon.

M'NALL IN CONTEMPT.
BIuntly Refuses to Obey the Mandate
Recently Issued by Judge
VCfnBpps

Topeka, Kas., Oct. H.-(Special) State
Insurance Superintendent McNall to-day
disobeyed the mandatory injunction granted
recently by Judge Williams of the United
States circuit court. by refusing to issue a
license to the Mutual Life Insurance COM
pany of New York. The court will be noti-
fed of McNalrs actions, and he will be
cited to appear for contempt.
McNall refused to re-license this company,
together with two others, last March, be-
cause it saw fit to contest the Hillmon
claim. and threatened to prosecute its
agents if they attempted to do business in
the state. The company brought an action
before Judge Williams of the federal court
TO enjoin the superintendent from interfer-
compel him TO issue license to it.. The
case was tried and Judge Williams granted
an order commanding McNall to issue the
Mutual Life a license. This order was
taken about a month ago. The company
did not make application for license until
to-day. when John r: Lord. general agent
for Kansas. appeared at the superintend,,
ent's Office this afternoon and rendered
McNall $3.50 in gold and demanded license.
His application was in written form. and
il was accompanied by the order of Judge
McNaIl looked at the application and the
money awhile and then said

Then you refuse to issue the license as
commanded by the court?'

rived in the city to-day and turned in 81 900
in fees collected for the inspection of oil.
The inspector is smarting under the recent
criticism of the manner in which he is
conducting his office and says there is alb
solutely no foundation for any of the
charges that are floating around. He
thought State Auditor Morris did him an
injustice by publishing the letter which was
sent to Wharton without publishing the
reply. He had the assistant auditor dig
the reply up to-day. In it Wharton took
the position that he was not compelled or
authorized under the state law to make
monthly settlements with the auditor The
law provides that he shall make report
to the governor and auditor In January of
each year. This, he says in the letter and
reiterates to-day, he proposes to do. The
auditor wanted him to follow the precedent
established by his predecessor and make
monthly statements. but Wharton says he
prefers to follow the law He serves notice
on the auditor in underscored words that
he will not follow the example set by some
of his predecessors. evidently having in
mind the record of Coal or Tavlor. who
neither turned in a cent nor made a report
under the Lewelling administration He
also declared that there was no friction he
tween him and his deputies. He challenges
them to produce any letter to show that he

MANY KANSANS IN LEAVENwORTH
WITH THEIR BOOMS.
ALL CALL ON SENATOR BAKER.

CaIdcrhead Frequently Mentioned as
n Candidate for GOvernor-COn-
test for BrOdericl<'s Seat In
COngress-Leland Visits
Senator Baker.

Leavenworth, Kas., Oct. n.-tspecial)
For the past few days Leavenworth has
been the Mecca of nearly all the political
pilgrims in the state. Their ostensible
mission was to attend the G. "A. r. reunion
and the attending festivities. but behind
this was the one idea of making them
selves solid with the dear people and
to bow at the shrine of the United States
senator. This was invariably done. each
declaring that the call upon the senator
had no political significance.
The most absorbing thought in the minds
of many is the question of the successor
ship to Congressman Broderick'S seat. This
Mr. Broderick is not disposed to surrender
without a struggle. and ne will contest for
denomination. Charley Curtis and w. j..
Bailey are also actively in the fight and
are doing everything they can to improve
their chances. Each has many warm
friends in this district who, when the time
comes will do manful service for their
favorites.
Politicians are casting their eyes around
trying to discover suitable candidate for
governor one who will lead the people out
of the wilderness of Populism. Mr.. Calder
heads candidacy is frequently mentioned.
His friends say that he can be induced to
accept the nomination and they are push
icg him to the front. Postofice complica-
tions are such as to suggest that he aban-
don congressional aspirations in the Fifth
district and turn his thoughts to things Of
state.
Lit Crum arrived this morning to see il
something could be done in the marshall
ship matter. He and Cy Leland had Il
long talk. after which Crum called on Sen
ator Baker. The visit did not result in any
change in the slate bearing the o. X. OF
Senator Baker.
The prospect of creating a new district
was discussed. and in the event of this
being done Crum thinks that the marshall
ship may smile at him again. At least he
refers to it is a good proposition.
Mr.. Leland paid his respects to Senator
Baker this morning, but the visit was OF
short duration and productive only of
social harmony.
Jack Harris was one of Senator Baker S
callers. He is taking an interest in the
Lawrence postoffce tangle. The office does
not become vacant until next March.
Congressman Frederick left for his home
in Holton this morning, having some press
ing business on hand. He stated that he
would return here before going East, at
which time plans will be made for his con-
gressional campaign in this county and the
district.

LOGAN, JR., IN NEW TROUBLE.
freshments" ut His Chicago
Horse Show.

Chicago. Oct. H.--There is likely to be
trouble at the coming horse show in this
city. and the fur is already commencing to
fly. John a. Logan, Jr.. is managing the
show, which is to be held in the Coliseum
building. situated at Sixty-thrd street and
Stony Island avenue, which is right in the
center of the prohibition district of the
suburb of Hyde Park. Mr. Logan has
worked hard for the success of the show
and among other things he has organized
the Bit and Spur Club. the members of
which include a number of millionares
and some of the leading business men in
the city. The members of the club are to
ray about four prices for their season
tickets to the show, and they are also to
have pleasant little room for themselves.
where Refreshments are to be served.
The word refreshments is to the Hyde
Park prohibitionists like unto Il red rag be-
fore excitable bull. and they declare
that no refreshments shall be served. 1t
was intimated on behalf of the club that
only soft drinks would he served, but this
aroused division among the Hyde Park
people who have been fooled once or twice
before to-day. and just now are not trust
ing anybody. The leader in the Opposition
to the Refreshments is George W. Riggs,
leading insurance man. Mr.. Logan sim
gled out Mr. Riggs as an opponent this af-
ternoon and announced that in his opinion
Mr.. Riggs was seeking cheap notoriety. He
further said the Bit and Spur Club can
take care of itself. and that it will PRO
ceed along the original lines"
The reply of Mr.. Riggs came hot off the
bat He declared himself as follows:
Il may be seeking cheap notoriety. but
never went abroad wearing borrowed uni
form nor dead fathers medals. Now.
since Mr. Logan has made a personal mat
ter of this thing. We will give him fight
to {; finish. Every man in the club will be
arrested if an attempt is made to violate
the Hyde Park prohibition laws. A let
ter Will be sent to every member, so far as
known. asking him to withdraw from the
club, and not countenance an assault upon
the law. This can be construed as a fair
warming"
Both sides appear determined. but the
odds are with Mr.. Riggs. as the chief of
police has declared him in the right.
