The Move to Abolish Cheap Rates for

During the past week W. X. Vanderbilt,
with subordinate officials of the Wander
bilt lines west, in rather quiet and unex-
pected manner, has been inspecting several
of the Western interests of the company.
Especial attention was paid to the improve

The latter is showing some gratifying sur

ern is being thoroughly overhauled by the
Lake Shore management. About 200 miles
OF this recently acquired line have been
reballasted and a number of new culverts
and bridges have been built. Some new
rails have been laid, but the task OF relay
ing the entire road with new steel rails will
probably be deferred until the price of steel
is lower All of the expenditures for i'm

SECRETARY WILSON'S VIEWS.
He Deplores the Use of Police I'm the
Strike Region.

Strlkc hCSiOhs
Secretary Wilson, of the United Mine
Workers, did not receive a telegram from
the anthracite region yesterday, but feels
encouraged, the lack OF wire communica-
ton indicating apparent ease at strike
headquarters. Secretary Wilson deplores
the action of the operators in asking for
police protection. He says the request is
wholly unwarranted, as the miners are now
being held In check by the union officers.
Their action, he said. will only incite the
miners to do what is entirely foreign to
there natures, were armed bodies not pres
ent by the common method of reason
ing," Secretary Wilson said. ''the opera
tors are calling for armed force to protect
their property: our mems lives are, there
fore, in jeopardy, and one would readily
conclude that IL the operators had right
to protect their property with arms, our
men have right TO protect their lives by
arming themselves. The life of a miner is
just as valuable to him the mining prop
erty Is to the operator. and IL the operator
seeks armed force to protect his property,
the miner certainly has right TO protect
MS life with arms. But this is not our way
OF reasoning. IL IL were, there would be
pioodshed in a very short time. No. we
VIII not permit our men, IL we can prevent
IL, TO arm themselves, and will discourage
any radical outbreak that threatens 10 re-
suit In the loss OF life or rights OF men,"
The laws of Pennsylvania provide for
what Is known Iron and coal police. %
These officers have more power than a
city policeman, and are for the exclusive
protection of iron manufacturers and coal
operators. This Is the protection the opera
tors nave brought into service.

Company's mining department. said to-day:
This arbitration proposition is absurd. II
is impracticable. Each company might ar
bitrate with it's own men, but such thing
is not necessary. The operators stand
ready to adjust any grievances their men
may present, and l am satisfied they can
be adjusted satisfactorily. This wholesale
plan of arbitration between all the employ
ers and all the employees can effect nothing
except the recognition OF the mine workers
union, and that will never be effected be-
cause we cannot afford TO have our busi-
ness directed by emissaries of our competi-
tors, the soft coal men. The mine workers
officers know they cannot gain the conces-
sions they ask, and are only striving TO ef-
feet something that will save them from
being discredited by the anthracite miners
/ hope the miners, for their own sake, VIII
soon realize the futility of their fight"
The Pennsylvania Coal Company issued a
statement showing by resume OF its con-
trollers reports that average wages OF
miners and laborers in all of their twenty
seven collieries for the month of August
was, respectively. $3.50 and s1.67 per day,
and that twenty days were worked
One of the culm banks, the Bellevue, was
the scene of a tragic death to-day. Frank
Mangan was there gathering coal along
with crowd of others. Suddenly some
one shouted, THE watchmen are coming!
and there was hurry to get away. The
man was feeble from sickness. and from
the excitement of the moment he fell and
died Heart failure was the cause.

HANGS ON A MUSTACHE.


FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 20.-Did Jim
Howard have a mustache on Jan. 80?
On that question, in a great measure
depends his liberty. perhaps his life The
witnesses for the defense, including the de-
PENDANT himself. all state that JAM %
and many days before, his face was clean
shaver. Bowman Gaines. Ben Rake and
James F. DAILY, who have identified How
ard as the man they saw on the 30th of
January, swear that he had mustache.
There goes Jim Howard. clean shaver
and better dressed than any man in town.
If he keeps on that way he will never be
able to prove that he is a fool" According
10 his testimony to-day ex-State Senator
Ed Parker made that remark in London,
on Jan. %, where he saw Howard on the
street. Mr.. Parker explained that the rea-
son he had said this was that Howard
was then at London TO appear for trial for
the murder of George Baker, and his plea
was TO be insanity
The defense is resting its case on the
alibi claimed for Howard, and is not pay
ing any attention TO the claims of the pros
ecution that the shot came from the sec
rotary of states office and other collateral
matters which figured largely in the trial
of Caleb Powers.

A general passenger agent, when asked
concerning the movement to abolish cheap
rate excursions, said he did not think 1t
would be possible to get the railroads to
agree to such a policy. His reason for this
statement was that the business proved
remunerative, adding that there was no
better revenue to the passenger department
than that which comes from large bodies
of people handled single trains. even
though the rates granted are low.
Much has been said recently about half
rates being abolished, too said the Of
ficial but / do not believe there is much
chance OF abolish them because of the we'll
founded policy of railroads to give all
charities at least half rates, where they 40
not feel called upon to issue free transport
tation. However, number of accounts
upon which half rates have been granted in
the past will be eliminated, and railroad
men will not have quite so many requests

The strike OF the anthracite coal miners

amount OF attention and causing specula-
ton as TO the probable result on the price
of coaIs AS yet there has been no increase
of moment. and IL is said regular buyers OF
coal in large quantities do not fear large
advances and claim TO be able In future to
procure coal at the old prices. There have
been no increases in the prices of In
diana coal. The Indiana Bituminous Coal
Operators Association Will hold a meeting
I'm few days for the purpose OF discussing
winter rates. Ii has for several years been
the practice 10 increase rates 5 TO % cents
per ton about the first of October. and IL Is
thought the customary increase will be the
only advance made at present. In case the
strike of the miners is successful, II Is
said rates will probably be gradually In
creased to meet the conditions.
