SENATOR BURNs's BILL.
1t Is to Regulate the Publication of
Legal Notices.

Senator Burns will introduce a bill in the
Senate this week which, If it becomes a
law, will materially change the present law
regulating the printing of legal notices. The
bill provides that all legal notices shall be
published once in each of the two leading
newspapers of the county in which they are
required to be published, representing the
two political parties casting the highest
number of votes in such county, except in
cities or towns having a population of 5000
or over, when such legal notices shall be
published one time in daily paper in adj
dition to the publication in each of the two
leading weekly papers. In cities of 20,00
or over, the bill provides that all legal no.
tees shall be published twice in each of
the two leading daily papers, representing
the two leading political parties. The rates
of publication provided for in the bill are
the same under the present law.
The object of the bill is to divide the
printing between the papers representing
the two leading political parties.
The bill also contemplates the publication
of legal notices in papers having the largest
circulation in the county, So that there will
be more likelihood of their being seen. IN
der the present law, legal notices may be
printed in any paper regardless of the size
of its circulation and without reference
to whether they will be seen or not.

GERS Elected.

The election tellers Of the United Mine
Workers completed the count of the votes
cast for members of the executive board,
representatives TO the American Federation
of Labor and members o. the auditing and
credentials committees late yesterday al
ternoon. The votes cast for members or the
executive board show a most peculiar re-
suit. The board is composed of eight mem
bers and the vote shows that nine are
elected. The constitution provides that can
didates receiving majority or the votes
cast shall be declared elected and the tel
lers find that nine received a majority The
unusual incident is problem the conven-
ton will have to solve.
The contest for board members was
between ten candidates. According to the
count, all the old members of the board
are elected and in addition one new MEM
Der. These receiving majority OF votes
cast are William Farley, of Alabama;
Edward Mckay, of Pennsylvania; Jo-
seph Pendleton, of Arkansas; Fred Dilcher,
of Ohio; Benjamin James, of Pennsylvania;
James Boston. Of Illinois; George Purcell,
of Indiana; Henry Stevenson, of West Vir-
ginia, and John Fahy, of Pennsylvania.
William Morgan, Of Ohio, was one Of the
candidates for a new member of the board
and is defeated, and Fahy, the other can
didate for a new member. is elected. Henry
Stevenson has the lowest vote of the nine
receiving a majority and is an old MEM
Der of the board.
The delegates elected to represent the
United Mine Workers at the American
Federation of Labor are President John
Mitchell, Secretary w. =. Wilson, Patrick
Dolan, w. H. Haskins, Vice President T.
L. Lewis, W. d. Ryan and John P. Reese.
Joseph Pope and Michael McTaggart are
elected members Of the auditing committee.
John j. Mossop is next highest to Pope and
McTaggart. There are three members to be
elected, and unless the convention decides
to declare the three candidates receiving
the highest votes elected another ballot will
have TO be taken for the election of the
one remaining member Of the committee.
William Blakely, an old member of the
committee and a candidate for reelection,
is defeated.
The three members of the credentials
committee elected are Joseph Pope, Miles
Daugherty and j. Oakley.
When the convention conveneS this morn
ing the tellers will report the result OF
the election and the controversy over the
election of the executive board members
will be decided. Another important ques-
ton that will be before the convention is
the adoption Of the proposed new constitu-
ton. There are many changes proposed
that will cause heated discussions, among
them the proposed increases in the salaries
of the national officers and the placing OF
the power to name tre salaries of organ
izers and other employees in the hands OF
the president.

Mr.. hickey was the first Lieutenant Gov

To the union Of States. He was member
OF the Wall & Dickey Land and Trust
Company, of jamestown, N. D., and was
one of the best-known and most highly
respected citizens of that State. He was
born at Mt. Auburn, Shelby county, June
ID. 1916. When the civil war broke out he
enlisted for three months service and re-
enlisted for three years, serving through
out the war with the Twenty-first Indiana
Volunteer Heavy Artillery. During his
army service he was closely associated
with James Il. Polk, of Greenwood, and at
the close of the war accompanied Mr.. Polk

THE SCALE QUESTION.


The scale committee was in session yes
terday considering the anthracite scale and
making up a scale upon the basis that was
adopted by the convention Saturday. 1t
is conceded that the convention will take
no official action upon the anthracite scale
other than pass upon it and take a stand
for the anthracite miners in an effort TO
bring the operators and their employees
together in joint conference and adjust
their differences. The anthracite men con-
template asking for 10 per cent. increase
in wages.
AS the general scale has practically been
disposed of, the miners are now considering
what they will do in the joint convention
with the operators in Columbus, o., Jan.
81 The run of mine system and a reduc-
ton in the differential between pick and
machine mining will have precedence over
the demand of a direct increase of 10 cents
fiat on the ton, withs the run OF mine sys-
tenn foremost. Illinois is on run OF mine
system, and the delegates from that State
represent nearly half of the convention
In the joint conference. The representation
of the operators is in like proportion. The
Illinois miners say the operators of their
State will stand by them in joint conven-
ton for run of mine system, as they
have given up all hopes Of abolishing that
base in Illinois, and the next best thing to
do for their own protection is TO bring all
the other operators in the interstate agree
ment to the same base. With half of the
operators in the joint conference declaring
for a run of mine system, and of all the
miners, il Is thought this demand will be
granted, but not without a hard fight.
The differential will also be a subject
for heated discussion in the joint confer
ence, and the Illinois differential of cents
fiat will be insisted upon. In this demand
the miners are not confident but ii is
expected that Indiana will be placed on
the same basis as Illinois. If the full de-
mand is not gained in Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. AS Indiana is the closest COMPETE
tor in the Illinois markets, the run of mine
system and equivalent differential will al
most be forced upon the joint conference
BY the scale the Illinois miners will re-
ceive no material advance unless 1t is a
fraction of the 10 cents fat increase. How
ever. they are very well satisfied in that
State with present wages, and they are
now making fight to bring their less for
tunate members up TO their standard. The
Illinois organization has more wealth than
the national union. and the entire State Is
under the jurisdiction of the union. They
now have a defense fund of more than
S250.000 in their state treasury. and system
of assessments established in time of strike
that would bring in about $4,000 week
While this wealth has made them indie
pendent the miners deal peaceably with
the operators, and 1t is said the employers
and employees are closer together in that
State than in any other in the Union.

that were the only obstacle demand for a
further increase in wages probably would
bring about lockout. Nearly all the dis

Both branches of the Legislature will

FARMERS INSTITUTES.
Senator Parks VIII Urge n Greater
Appropriation.

Senator Parks will call up for second
reading this morning his bill. which pro-
vides for an increase of 5000 in the ap-
preparation for county farmers institutes.
Senator Parks says the farmers from all
over the State are asking for the passage
of the bill and he is in receipt of many let
tiers urging him TO do everything in his
power to secure favorable consideration.
The additional appropriation, Senator
Parks says, has become an actual neces-
sity The farmers Institutes are OF inesti-
mable value to the agricultural element
of the State and the extra money is badly
needed TO secure the services OF compe-
tent men and women to act as instructors.
Ten or twelve years ago, according to
Senator Parks, there were very few farm
ers' institutes held In the State and the
appropriation of 5000 was amply sufficient
for their needs, but at the present time
these Institutes have been established in
nearly every county in the State and the
present appropriation is inadequate. Farm
ing is no longer a theory" said Senator
Parks last night, but has become sci
