Arc Barred Out
THE LIE YAS PASSED
Batwesn Chairman and Delegate
Ryan-The Cause Of tine

erS OF America, ana InOAe from inc
Interstate Operators Association, and
SO much bad feeling was engendered
that it was deemed advisable to ad-
journ until o'clock tomorrow morn
ing, to allow the feeling to subside.
The wrangle started when the credeu-
tiaI committee reported a division on
the matter OF admitting the delegates
and operators from the state of Iowa,
which was decided by the chairman
against the miners. and continued until
Chairman Boyle had called Delegate
Ryan liar.
Immediately upon calling the session
to order, Chairman Boyle asked for
the report of the committee on creden-
tials, and Chairman Dllcher reported 1t
had been decided that the states of In
diana, Ohio. Pennsylvania and Illinois
we're entitled to representation in the
joint conference. When it came to con-
sldering the admission Of the state OF
Iowa, there was division, the mem
bers from the operators opposing and
those from the miners favorIng 1t. The
roll call resulted in a tie.
The chairman then announced that he
was entitled to cast the deciding vote,
and voted no, thus debarring the state.
West Virginia Cited.
In speaking on the motion to admit
the state, Mr.. r. L. Robbins said he OBJ
jected to bringing the state into the
competitive field for the reason that at
the Chicago conference two years ago.
an effort was made to get West Virgin
in in, and that it was defeated because
the state had not been organized. The
miners. he said, had violated their pro-
mise to organize this state and, as a re-
suit, the operators there were not pay
ing the scale. Under this condition
they were able to mine coal and put It
on the market cheaper than could be
done in the competitive field where the
scale was paid. He added that 1t was
not factor in the field, and thought it
not entitled 10 representation. These
remarks brought President Van Horn,
OF the Indiana miners, to his feet, and
he said:
81 take exceptions to the statement
made by MIR. Robbins to the effect that
we have not tried to organize 4 West
Virginia. We have done all we agreed
to do, and that state is IN better CoUdI-
tlon than ever before.
II think his statement unfalr to the
miners. because II he will go back to
the Chicago convention he will find we
wanted to get West Virginia into the
competitive field, and the operators OBJ
jected, because It had not developed In
to competitor. Now, II you want to
exclude Iowa. you make yourselves
liable 10 the same conditions that now
exist in West Virginia"
He was followed by Mr., Chapman, OF
the operators. and he by President
Mitchell, of the miners.

other nations, thus confirming the
wisdom of Miss Willard in designat-
ing Mrs. Stevens as her immediate
successor. She is strong and true and
has the confidence of all the women.

Especial to TELEGRAM.)

White River, Junction, Sept. 90
The excitement occasioned through
out the whole section by the daring
robbery of Postmaster Tinkham at
Quechee bids fair to rival the period
in which the Shaws were at large ear
lier in the summer. The escaped
desperadoes are fully as desperate char
acters and they have shown themsel.
yes to be endowed with far greater in.
telligence than was the murderer Of
DR.. Hoffman or his accomplice.
For two days now the whole coun-
try has been secured by sheriffs and
their posses, but up to ten O'Clock this
forenoon it had been without success.
Two men have been arrested on sus-
picion, but were soon after discharged.
One was arrested at So. Royalton as
he was taking the train for Boston.
The other was arrested at Taftsville.
That the robbers are the same men
who stole pair Of horses and buggy
at Rutland Monday there is no doubt.
Deputies Whitaker and Stearns of
that city were close upon their track
and Unidentified the horses which the
desperadoes abandoned near Wood
stock as the ones they were after.
The men are undoubtedly in this
immediate vicinity. Mr.. Tinkham
feels sure that he could identify one
Of them at least, as he got a glimpse
of his face while he raised his mask to
blow out the light just before leaving
the office. Both men evidently were
we'll acquainted In this neighborhood,
as they called him by his first name
several times. ~. 80 '--A--- =

OTHER PEOPLES MONEY.
New Management of Opera House
Starts Season Well.

Last night was the opening Of the
opera house for the season 1901 and
the play for this occasion was first
class one.
Hennessy LeRoyle in "Other Pep
ple's Money" cannot be beaten as a
farce comedy.
1t is one of those laughable plays
which has a good back ground for
thought and still so frivolous that the
theatre goer kicks himself afterwards
for laughing SO much.
The new management will endeavor
to supply the patrons with the best
shows on the road this season, and
with w. f. Morse at the helm, our
citizens need no other guarantee of
having everything raa Tor their bene-
fit entirely.
The ushers are very attentive and
seemed to be always on hand. A great
Improvement is the numbering of the
aises with Large cards.
Louis N. Gauthier as stage manager,
and the very efficient orchestra under
the leadership of Mr.. Bruce, nothing
seems to be needed to make things run
smoothly all through the season.
