News Learned With Pleasure by
All Concerned.
Meeting of National Executive Board
Will BE Held Today.

Hazleton, Pa, October 23.-President
Mitchell s statement in q speech at Potts
Vile today that he believed the strike
would be ended by next Monday If all the
operators posted notices guaranteeing the
ten per cent advance until April 1st was
received with much pleasure by the mine
workers and the mine officials. 1t is be-
lieved that nothing VIII now intervene to
delay the ending of the contest which
has run more than five weeks.
President Mitchell was asked on his
arrival here from Pottsville tonight, on
what he based his belief that the strike
would end this week, but he declined
to say anything other than that the prop
osition of the miners was SO fair that he
could see no valid reason why the opera
tors should not accept The national
president was much pleased when he
learned that the Delaware, Lacakawanna
& Western, the Delaware and Hudson,
the Lehigh and WiIkesbarre and the Hill
side companies had signified their viii
hngness to pay the ten per cent increase
until April 1. He also expressed satisfac-
tion that the Forest Mining company
whose men have been on strike since
January had acceded to the demands,
President Mitchell declined to say what
course would be pursued if one or more
companies refused to guarantee the apay
ment of the increase until April 1.
A meeting of the national executive
board of the United Mine Workers of
America and the officers of the three
anthracite districts will be held here to-
morrow for the purpose. Mr.. Mitchell
says, of thoroughly canvassing the situa-
tion. He would not say whether the con-
ference would take any positive action
looking towards the calling of of the
strike. If,any action viii be taken, he
said, it will depend entirely upon what
the canvass would show. In answer to
another question, the labor leader said he
would not take the responsibility upon
himself of ealing off the strike but would
rather have the national board vote upon
the question.

veIopments show that the circumstances
surrounding the death OF Miss jennie

a statement by the cab man, the girl af-
ter being given drinks, one of which
contained d drug, was driven to the lone
ly place, close to where the body was
found, and there what followed is too
horrible to describe. After this the IN
conscious girl was carried to several doc
tors, one of whom, DR.. Townsend of
Paterson, pronounced life extinct. Ter
ribly frightened the four men. according
to the cab mans story, told him to drive
back to the place where the hideous
assault took place, and there left the
body where next morning a passing
milkman found 1t and reported to the po-
lice.
The four men implicated as principles
in the crime and under arrest are: Wal
ter q. McAltster. a member of the firm of
James McAlister e Co., silk throWsters;
9eorge Kerr, a member of the j. p.
Donleavy Paint Co.. Andrew Campbell,
bookkeeper. employed at the Hand
street. silk mill, and William A. Death,
a young man who was married only five
weeks ego.
The men in ths crime were held wSth-
out bail after a hearing before Recorder

tive of John Johnson, Democratic nom1-
nee for CONGRESS IN the Paterson district.
