NO CHANGE IN LEHIGH.
Mine workers Organization Kept
Busy All Sunday.


FAZLETON, Sept. 23-There is a5so-
lutely no change in the coal strike situa-
tion in the Lehigh valley today and the
customary Sunday quietude prevailed.
This afternoon the employees Of the CAL
vim Pardee mine met at Latimer, and the
United Mine Workers held mass meetings
at both l1pley and Beaver Meadows To-
night the presidents of three anthracite
districts, comprising the entire hard coal
fed of Pennsylvania, had a conference
with President Mitchell for the purpose OF
discussing the situation as it now pre-
walls in the anthracite region.
Three of the deputies who were sworn
in by Sheriff Harvey, of Luzerne county,
and who were sons of prominent Wilkes
barre families, were arrested late last
night al Freeland, on the charge of high
way robbery. They are Hamilton Farm
ham, Van Buren, H. Howard and A r.
Shoemaker Jr. The men are accused OF
robbing Polish liquor dealer of $167 in
cash. There are two sides to the story.
The Polander says he was delivering
beer at Highland, and that the deputies
asked him and he consented to let them
ride to his wagon to Freeland At the
outskirts of the place, he claims, the men
assaulted him and took the money from
his pocket.
The other story is to the effect that the
Polander demanded a fee for bringing.
the deputies to Freeland, and not getting
it, he set up a cry that he had been rob
bed. A crowd soon gathered, and the
deputies were taken into custody and
given hearing before a justice of the
peace, which lasted until o'clock this
morning. The squire committed the three
men, but instead of locking them up at
Freeland the accused were driven thirty
miles over the mountain to Will1esbarre
where they arrived at daylight this morn
Ing The three men were released on
bail after their arrival at Wilkesbarre.
The United Mine Workers organizers
spent the day in various parts of this
district looking after the interests of
their organization They consulted the
leaders of local unions and urged mine
workers who have not yet struck to leave
their work

Nelson Too Much for Michael.

Johnnie" Nelson was the better man yes
terday at Bridgeport, Conn.,, beyond doubt
for he outrode Michael in eight miles. and
the midget quit the track and went to his
dressing room. Nelson used three motors
and rode well all through. He punctured a
tire in the eighteenth mile and lost only
forty seconds in making a change on the
opposite side of the track Nelson took the
heart out of Michael in the first eight
miles because he made almost record time
being but a few seconds back of the record
he made on Woodside Park track. The
opening mile, in Las As. was fast. but Mel
son in the lead cut out seven miles follow
ing the first, which were excellent, the
average being about 132. Michael soon be-
came distressed and when he sat up the
people howled in dismay. He lost his pace
temporarily on the seventh mile, and at
seven and two-thirds miles he was Tapped
as he slowly ran round to his training quar-
tiers. MichaePs manager said that there
was no excuse to offer for Michael, but did
say that the pace was far too rapid. The
finish came far sooner than was looked for
Michael said that he felt sick. His back
ers were anxious to bet all sorts Of money,
and considerable of the coin Of the realm
did change hands on the result, the hackers
of Nelson profiting greatly. Michael had
the lead at the start, but allowed Nelson
to take it away from him in the first lap
which was fatal to his best interests, as
Nelson was in the best shape of his life
for the contest.
