GRAND JURY BEGINS WORK.
PARKHURST SOCIETY REFUSES TO LET
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY INTER
CEPT ITS EVIDENCE

The Rev. DR.. Parkhurst put into concrete form
yesterday the suspicion which the public feels
FOR the District Attorneys office when he
fused TO disclose to Colonel Gardiner or any Of
his assistants the evidence which his society has
collected against illegal resorts, but insisted
on laying it before the Grand Jury Itself without
the intervention of any one. When Secretary
Burr OF the Society for the Suppression of
Vice in answer to the subpoena a6 the Grand
Jury, appeared at the Criminal Court Building
yesterday morning Assistant District Attorney
Mcintyre asked him what he desired to bring to
the attention Of that body. Mr.. Burr replied
that while he personally would be glad to turn
TO the District Attorney all the informa ton
in his possession, his instructions from his So
ciety forbade it, as he was expressly ordered
by the president, DR.. Parkhurst, TO talk only
Attorney Gardiner upon learning of Mr.. Burr's
refusel to reveal his information, allowed him to
go before the Grand Jury, and he in the
Grand Jury room throughout the rest of the
morning.
The Grand Jury, after listening to what Mr..
Burr had to say, decided to hear more of it
later. Mr. Burr IL is understood, made no
specific charges against any person, but will
dc the next time he comes before the Grand
Jury. To-day and tomorrow the Grand Jury
will be busy with the Third Avenue Railway
case
SUBPOENA FOR DR. PARKHURST
subpoena was served on the Rev. DR. Park
hurst shortly after noon yesterday. When asked
what he intended to do about it, he said:
Years ago we learned, after dealings with De
1sncey Nicon, that the District Attorneys office
was sort of an appendix of the Grand Jury We
at frS1 thought that could o the
Grand Jury except through the District Attorney S
office. After many disappointments. sustained
through dealings with that office discovered
that we could get to the Grand Jury without it,
and il was acting upon this knowledge that we

Jury without introduction from the District

PEELED to cease operations owing 70 the
failure Of conference between the In.
diana Coal Operators association and
the Mine Engineers brotherhood. The
engineers demanded that the Illinois
scale, entailing an increase Of wages,
be put into effect at onoe. This the
operators refused, but offered to con.
tinue the present scale until the con-
vention Of the United Mine Workers
at Indianapolis next January, at which
time the question Of paying the Illinois
scale to all Indiana miners is.to be con-
sidered. The operators made the point
that an advance to the engineers at
this time would be unfair to the min
ers. They oontended that the engi-
neers received an advance Of 50 per
cent only q year ago and asserted that
tho conditions Of mining in Illinois are

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-In addition
to the points said to be agreed upon at

other points are likely to receive atten-

coast, the purpose Is to extend to it
that freedom Of commerce and inter.
course with foreigners which now ap-
plies only to those open ports desig-
mated. by treaties with China. The
suggestion that this action be taken
has been made In high Chinese quar-
ters, and its advisability is urged be-
cause Peking, as the capital Of the Chi.
nese empire, Is the center Of influence
throughout the country. Another point
which may be proposed is that capital

Official dispatches have been re.
ceived here from the viceroys Of the
Southern provinces Of China, who thus
