WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.-There were

ORDERS FOR THE BIG
STRIKE TO Be ISSUED
FROM INDIANAPOLIS
Nearly 10000 Miners Will
Obey the INDUCTION and
Quit Their Work.
OPERATORS ARE SILENT

No Efforts Have Been Made TO Avert
TroubIe-Nember of National Board
States That There Is No Change In
the Situation and the Mines Will
Shut Down at an ErIy Drte.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept 8.--The national
board of the United Mine Workers re-
sumed Its closed session at $50 o'clock
this morning In the Stevenson building.
Before the meeting the board members
said that the situation had not changed
during the night. No disposition has
been manifested by the operators to
meet any Of the demands made by the
miners through either the national off,
GERS or the district officers In the anthra-
cite region.
The presidents of districts No. 1, z
and Gall anthracite-are at Hazelton,
Pa, the center of the field, and so far as
is known in indianapolis no answer to
the appeal issued last night by these
three presidents has been made by the
operators. The utmost secrecy attended
the board meeting this morning. Before
noon President Mitchell said:
Nothing has been done. No strike
order has been issued. The situation
remains as 1t was last night"
The fact that the board met one hour
and half earlier than it did yesterday
morning Is taken as an indication that
grave problems are to be solved.
The great strike order of 1907, which
called out 10000 miners, was issued on
Sunday, July 4. It now looks as if the
great anthracite order will first go to
the world late Sunday morning.
The board members ridlcile the stories
in circulation that lobby of business
men from the east has been in Indian.

Controversv Over a PLAY.

LONDON, Sept. 8.-The Kendals, who
have been busily rehearsing new play
by Mrs. w. K Clifford, entitled "Un-
wisely, But too Well, have been cha
grined by the discovery that Grundy's
play, "a Debt Of Honor" produced by
George Alexander on Thursday at the
ST. James theater, is amost a replica of
the work they had in hand. The Ken
dals, who have been making elaborate
preparations for presenting the new
piece, regard the matter as great mis-
fortune, but they declare they will pro-
coed without changing the play, though
they Were at first inclined to do so.

NEGOTIATIONS IN PROGRESS
Efforts Are Being Made to Avert the
Pending Strike.

HAzEIroN, Pa, Sept. 8.-Efforts are
still being made here to bring about a
settlement of the impending strike.
John Fahey and Thomas Duffy, mem
bers of the executive board of the three
anthracite mining districts, were in con-
ference behind closed doors with Father
Phillips, but they have nothing to give
out for publication. Father Malloy, of
Audenreid, and General superintendent
Richards aAd Division superintendent
Hardeson, of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre Goal company, held four hours
consultation, but they refused to say
what had been done.

GRADY FINED FOR CONTEMPT
Clash Between the United States Court
and a Magistrate.

and Magistrate.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Sept. Sin the
United States district court Judge Will
liam Grady, justice Of the peace at Pratt
City, was sentenced to ten days impris-
onment in the county jail and to pay q
fine of $25 and costs. The charge upon
which he was convicted was contempt
of court. Judge Grady, who is leader
among the miners at Pratt mines and
politician, was arrested and brought be-
fore court to show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt in failing
to obey an order issued by the federal
court.
This action grew out of a proceeding
in bankruptcy. Some days ago Referee
Trimble issued an order to Grady COM
handing him to show cause why he
should not dismiss certain garnish-
ment. Grady failed to notice the order,
and another was issued instructing him
to dismiss the garnishment. He failed
to obey again, and then the matter was
taken to the district federal court.

GALVESTON, Sept 8.-The tropical
storm which developed in the West In

gale blowing and the sea becoming
tempestuous. The force of the storm
backed the waters Of the gulf upon the
shore, flooding the low streets near the
beach. The trestle of the city railroad
on the beach front was wrecked by the
waves, but little other damage was done.

New ORLEANS. Sept. 8.-The storm
which struck New Orleans early yester-
day evening continued it's fury with
heavy downpours of rain until daylight,
doing no serious damage in the city, but
prostrating telegraph and telephone
poles in all directions. Reports of
the loss of two lives have been received
A large section of Louisiana felt the eff
fects of the blow and there are reports
of considerable cain being blown down.
Numerous rumors were spread Of loss
to shipping on Lake Pontohartrain, but
at West End and Milneburg nothing
confrmatory Of these rumors have been
received.
The big excursion steamer, the new
Camelia, came through the storm in fine
shape, and reached the city on time to-
day Lake Pontchartrain was a minia-
ture sea all night and pounded the re-
vetments all along West End and Mil
neburg, but no structures were lost.
Through the new canal, however, the
sea water was backed up and traffic
over the road suspended.
Railway Traffic Interrupted.
The Louisville and Nashville railroad
is the only trunk line that reports any
trouble. It's trains were tied up this
SaR2rning, the eastern and coast bound
trains being far behind, and the outgo-
ing train being held for the arrival of
the others.
Damage is reported to the bridge at
ST. Catherine and the sea water was
backed up against the track at many
places along the Mississippi sound. Sew
eral hundred feet of the track was IN
dermined and train crews were sent out
to anchor 1t.
No definite news has come to the
effect Of the storm at Grand Isle and
Chenere Caminada and none have been
received Of the conditions at the mouth
Of the river.
Three stormbound trains on the Louis
vile and Nashville reached here at 1890
O'Clock, bearing Superintendent Mar
shall and other officials of the road.
They said that there was an 8-foot
washout at Lookout, II miles from New
Orleans. The break has been repaired
and trains will run as usual.
Damage to Shipping.
The schooner J. J. Clarke ran against
the Rigolets bridge last night and turned
turtle and went under the bridge. She
was loaded with merchandise and Is
now floating bottom up. The crew man.
aged to Chamber on the bridge and were
saved.
Every attempt to get communication
by wire between this city and Port Eads
failed. It is impossible, therefore, to
learn what, if any, damage has been
done there. Six steamships have cleared
from New Orleans in the past two days
and as they had due warning it is
thought they did not venture out into
the gulf.
The highest tide and heaviest blow
since October, 1923, prevailed at Bay ST.

Completed by the restoration of what is

Engineer Commissioner Suggested.
Should Congress in its wisdom deem
best however, to direct local rather than
United States custody for these records, it
l.; respectfully suggested that the Engineer
Commissioner of the District is a more APP
propriate custodian than a subordinate APP
pointee of the District Commissioners Be
cause Congress would then have double Sc
curity. For the Engineer Commissioner is
not only a member of the board Of District
Commissioners and appointed thereto by the
President of the United States, but he is
also an officer of the corps of engineers Of
the army. 1t might well be asked, though
why he should be more trusted as custodian
than the chief of engineers himself.
In conclusion, should it be so desired
