MITCHELL MAY FAVOR
ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct 6.-The crisis
in the coal miners strike is approach
ing Both sides are playing a waiting
game, and each imagines that II has
the winning card up its sleeve. The
statement of President Maxwell. of
the Central Railroad of New Jersey,
yesterday, that the companies have
made all the concessions they propose
to make, bears out the statement made
in the press dispatches of Thursday
that the companies would offer no ad-
ditional Inducements for the men TO
return to work The report from
Scranton yesterday is also significant.
1t is said that the individual operators
will all fall in line and give their en-
pioyes the 10 per cent increase granted
by the big companies. 1t was predict
ed that this would be the case. A well
known operator told the newspaper
men here Thursday that there was an
understanding at the meeting of the
representatives of the big companies
and the individual operators in this
city last Tuesday. According to the
understanding the notices of increase
were not to be posted all at the same
time, but gradually This part of the
program has now been carried out. The
companies and nearly all the operators
are now in line for a 10 per cent in
crease.
II is now up to President Mitchell to
decide what he is going to do in the
matter II he delays action, with the
idea in view that the operators will
make a better offer. he is liable to
delay a settlement of the strike in
definitely. An analysis of the 10 per
cent increase offered shows that the
average miners wages would not be
increased 10 per cent should he re-
turn to WORK, but it is argued that it
is better than nothing; that 1t Is a

InaccOuntable Collapse Of Steve Flanagan in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Oct Cat the Indus
trial Athletic club last night Steve
Flanagan, of Philadelphia, ex-cham-
pion bantamweight of America, fell un-
conscious in the sixth and last round
of a contest with Jimmie Devine, To-
cal boxer, and now lies in a critical
condition in a hospital. Flanagan's
manager, Bob Delaney. and Jimmie De-
vine and the seconds Of both fighters
were placed under arrest pending an
examination of Flanagan's condition.
According to those at the ringside
Flanagan's collapse was unaccounted
for. II seemed TO most of them as
though no blow had been struck. Those
sitting further back, however, thinking
there had been a knockout, set up a
cheer. Flanagan's manager and sec
onds jumped into the ring while Devine
was standing over the PROSTATE boxer
with a look Of astonishment on his
face. Flanagan was carried to his cor
ner and all efforts to revive him failed,
and he was taken to a hospital near by,
where the physicians expressed doubt
Of his recovery. At the hospital the
case was diagnosed as hemorrhage OF
the brain. The doctors would not say
whether this was due to>a blow or from
some other cause. Some months ago.
when Flanagan was knocked out by
Danny Dougherty ten hours elapsed be-
fore the physicians succeeded in bring
ing him to. The opinion Is expressed
that Flanagan may have been seized

Russian armored cruiser Rurik, but the
latter's speed frustrated tho plan.

SOuthington Conn, Oct 6.-The ad-
jOurnment Of the anniversary meetings
of the New Haven Baptist association
was preceded by a lively debate occa-
stoned by n sensational attack on the
Newton Theological seminary. near
Boston, and the University of Chicago.
A resolution was presented asking
that all of the churches in the associa-
tion be asked to take a collection for
the Newton Theological seminary. IL
was announced that John ID. Rockefel-
Ter had promised to give the institution
s150000 If a similar amount could be
raised in other quarters The Rev. T.
A. T. Hanna, OF Shelton, opposed the
resolution in vigorous language. He
said:
"This seminary and also the Baptist
university at Chicago are hotbeds Of
heresy. Their instructors lead the
pupils from the solid foundation of the
old theology to the shifting quicksand
of the new so-called scientific religion"
Young men," he continued. go to
these institutions with a true, un-
wavering faith in the Almighty. Be-
fore long, however, they are shaken
by the doubts of their tutors, who turn
on the searchllght of science. and
while not absolutely rejecting portions
of it as untrue, they so hedge certain
passages with doubts and scientific
data that the teachings lose their
weight. and their pupils become athe-
lists at heart, if they do not show their
agnostieism outwardly."
The speaker went on to say that the
teachings of some doctors Of divinity
in the Baptist seminaries had become
so outwardly agnostic that 1t had been
necessary TO relieve them Of their po-
sitions.
THE wedding, however" he said, ''is
not yet completed, and the seminaries
still hold men who endanger the fu-
ture of the Christian cause"
Mr.. Hanna's remarks aroused a heat
ed controversy. Rev. Raymond Maple
son, Of Middletown, admitted that
much that had been said was true, but
added that many Of the Objectionable
men had been divested of their power
to do harm. The president OF the
seminary In question had assured him
that in the future there would be no
cause for complaint.
Other speakers defended the insti-
tutions attacked vigorously, and char
acterized the attack as uncalled for.
A long debate was ended when Rev.
w. G. Thomas. of Essex, moved the
adoption of the resolution, and this
was done by an overwhelming vote.

UNUSUALLY BIG NAIL DEPOSITS
PREVENT REGULAR DELIVERIES
This Is Because The Government VIII Not Permit POStmaS-

FOrtyoight Hours Week

Because Of the unusual amount OF
mail matter that has been deposited IN
tho postonice during the past week.
two Of the regular deliveries have not

The government fOrbids a p0stmas-
ter. under penalty Of removal, to per-
NIT a ,stter-carrier to work more than
forty-eight hours a week. During the
week the political candidates have
mailed thousands OF letters. which
caused the entire force including the
substitutes. to work some days from
eight to ten hours. so that by this
morning the forty-eight hours work
ing time has been consumed.
As a result the 10 O'Clock delivery
was not made. nor VIII the o'clock
delivery be made. The early delivery
was made this morning, as was the
