PLAN is ADOPTED.
WOmen's Council Decides to Estab-
Iish Travelling Libraries.

The Woman's Council broke over it's estab-
llshed rule of holding its monthly meetings,
designated parliaments, the last Saturday in
the month, by having a meeting yesterday
afternoon in the Unitarian church. for the
special purpose of considering the question
of travelling libraries, which the committee
terested was anxious to start forth on their
educative mission speedily as possible. An
executive session the week before was the
preliminary to the parliament. The meeting
yesterday was interesting and fruitful of
results, but the attendance was not more than
half the usual number. AS no special de-
partment had charge of the programme, Mrs.
W. b. Leach. president of the council. pre-
sided. The first part OF the programme was
occupied with paper by Mrs. T. B. Walker,
the first president, four times reelected
When Mrs. Walker took her seat there arose
discussion as to whether the council Should
or should not engage in practical deliberate
work. This clearly meant for the present
the travelling libraries. The president put
the question to vote and Mrs. Walker was the
only opponent. and it thus settled that
the council should definitely take up the
practical work CT the travelling libraries by
which it intends to provide the townships
with literature and reading matter.
In the consideration of the travelling librar-
prominently active with carrying it through
was appointed county librarian. The board
of management will consist of delegates from
each organization in the council and an ap-
pointed advisory board. The plan is to have
the work begin Immediately in anticipation
of the Lenten season. the heaviest reading
period of the year. A meeting of the dele
gates followed Immediately after the ad-
journment of the council.

statement. he had presented to the
committee certain pasters' which the
brokers' had used to extend the time Of
limited tickets purchased Of the Wa
bash road: the pastors bearing the
name OF George L. H. Daniels, now
general passenger agent of the New
York Central railroad, who was at one
time the general agent of the Wabash.
Mr.. Daniels desired to offer a brief
explanation. He said that during the
time he was the general agent of the
Wabash he had reprinted the entire
stock of passenger tickets of their lines
at cost of $4,000. He explained that
the pastors presented by Mr.. McKen-
zie were used by the road in the MAX
ing out of limited tickets and We're for
the convenience of the Wabash agents
and not for scalpers. 1.-THE particular
pastors presented by Mr. Mckenzie, -
said Mr.. Daniels, were used several
years after 1 had severed my connec-
ton with the Wabash system. 1t is
likely that many of the tickets even
now being sold by the Wabash bear
my name. I desire to say as emphatic
ally as can, that I never had any
connection with ticket scalpers, have
never broken a rate agreement and
have never sold tickets to anybody
over any line with which 1 was con-
nected for less than the regular rate"
The committee then adjourned to
meet at the call of the chairman.

spread interest has been awakened by
my recent communication to your VAL

nation of Robert A. Van Wyck to the

Delegates Go Uninstructed.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. 15.-The ques-
ton of a defense fund caused lively
debate in the convention of the United
Mine Workers just before adjourn
ment this evening. A resolution was
Introduced providing that a defense
fund be created, the fund to remain
unmOlested until $4,000 had accumu-
lated. This condition provoked a storm
of discussion. the opposition to it COM
ing. chiefly from Illinois, where there
are several small strikes now in prog
ress. 1t was claimed that such a pro-
sion would prevent miners now on
strike receiving aid from the national
organization when they most needed it.
While the oppos ition were in the minor
ity. the fight which they put up was
so vigorous that they prevented the
adoption of the resolution, and it was
referred back to the committee to for
n'ulate bylaws to govern the use of
the fund This plan will be submitted
to the delegates in Chicago.
There was a sharp skirmish also over
the removal of the national headquar-
tiers of the organization from Column
bus, as recommended by President
ed Cleveland but a combination was
made which led to Indianapolis being
chosen as the location for the head
quarters. The final vote on the prop
osition stood 234 in favor of Indian
arolis to 1873 for Columbus The head
quarters have been located in Column
bus ever since the United Mine Work
ers organization was formed in this
city in 1890
At the morning session of the con-
venticn it was decided to ask for an
advance of 10 cents per ton on next
years contract for pick mining, and
three-fifths of the pick mining price for
machine mining in Ohio. Ohio, Illinois
and Pennsylvania, and four-fifths in
Indiana and other low coal districts.
The convention decided that screens
ought to be abolished all coal to be
weighed unscreened. The delegates
will go to Chicago uninstructed on the
diffeTential, but instructed to ask
operators to establish eight hours as
a days work.
1t is forshadowed here that the Ma
tional Federation of Labor will prob
ably select the miners as the organiza-
ton to inaugurate the movement for
the eight-hour system, on or before
May l. as per action of the federation
at it's last convention.
The delegates, about two in number,
will leave tomorrow for Chicago to at
tend the joint conference with the
operators. There was an effort during
the convention to adopt a policy
to be followed in the joint
convention, but it failed. 1t was
proposed to select certain delegates to
act as spokesman in the conference, but
objection was raised on the ground that

None of the jurymen would State how
the vote stood, but it was learned that
1t was nine to three, supposedly in
favor of conviction.
At o'clock last night Judge Smith,
who tried the case, had the jury
brought into the court room. In ans
wer to the courts query if a verdict
had been reached, Foreman Yerxa re-
piled that they had been unable to
agree. He believd that it would be an
impossibility for the twelve men to get
together and before the jury room was
left they had agreed that it would be
impossible for them to come to

discharged them. The defendant and
his attorney, Rome G.. Brown, were
in court. AS the jury reported a smile
of satisfaction became evident in
Nunn's features.
Asked as to whether the case would

BROKER ARRESTED.
Charged With an Extensive Issue of
Forged Tickets

ST. JOE. Mo, Jan. ia long series
OF ticket forPeries have come to light
here which are believed to have been
carried on for number of years. The
alleged forged tickets were over the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway
and connecting lines. A warrant has
been issued here for the arrest of A
NJ. Ambs, of st. Louis, who, up to two
years ago. Was engaged in the ticket
scalping business here. A deputy sher-
if went to st. Louis last evening to
serve it. The fraudulent tickets were
sold during the time of Walter Young
as city agent of the Santa Fe in this
city. Young committed suicide nearly
four years ago, and left nothing to eX-
plain the deed. 1t is thought he may
have known something about the
forged tickets. After Ambs became
financially embarrassed, he deposited
tickets as collateral in the National
Bank of st. Joe. He was unable to re-
deem them, and they were placed on
sale by another broker. The sale of
tickets was slow, and that is the rea-
son the fraud has been so long in being
discovered. The value of the mileage
represented by the tickets runs up into
the thousands, although it is not yet
known how many of them We're dis
posed of. Ambs has been arrested.

said Mr.. McGoon coolly.
The above scene took place in Century tall
Yesterday at the close of the afternoon ses-
sion of the convention of the SpiritualiSts of
Minnesota, and all grew out of the arrest
of DR.. McGoon in the morning, the warrant
for which was sworn out by Mrs. Jennie OAR
rell, who charges McGoon with calling her
vile names and seriously assautiHg her repu-
tation. The trouble promises to create seri-
Gus trouble in Spiritualistic atmosphere. and
the settlement will probably result in the
close investigation of the regulations of two
of the leading Spiritualists in the state. DR..

iff Phillips was obliged to go to st. Paul.
McGoon appeared before the municipal curt
and pleaded not guilty. He was released on
s25 bail, and the case set for Monday at
O'Clock.
The morning session of the convention for
which a number of delegates had come
considerable distance, was interfered with by
the above occurrence but the afternoon ses-
sion went along without any reference to
the trouble until the c.ose, when Mrs. Cor

During the noon recess a committee went
to Mr.. McGoon and requested that he res gn

did not express themselves opposing him
in his trouble. but thought his resignation
would be acceptable for the complete har-
