off in this section of the country will
take place here at the Auditorium.
Next Monday night, Jan. 81, is the
date set for the Murray-Steltzer con-
test. 1t is Sredicted that the sport
ing fraternity of Marietta and vicinity
will turn out enmasse TO see this hstic
argument. Jimmy Murray is known
as one of the most promising light
weights of the day and his battles late
ly show him to be dangerous man for
any of the lightweights of the coun
try. Steltzer is very dangerous man,
possessing great hitting powers and a
cool head in the ring. Most of his
battles have been won through his SUI
perior ring generalship and a good
punch at the proper time The men
have been preparing themselves for
the past two weeks and reports from
their respective training quarters as

GOOD ADVICE
Gwen 10 Father of l4-Year-OId Pike Street
Girl.

On Saturday a Pike street man came
to the office of an officer in this city
and told the following story: On Wed .
nesday evening his fourteen-year-o old
daughter was sent on an errand in the
city and failed to return. The man and
his wife sat up all night waiting for
the daughter to return. They, of
course, were unable to account for her
absence. The girl did not return un-
til early in the morning, when she
came in crying, stating that while she
was walking along the street she was
grabbed by a man and woman, push
ed into cab. taken to a certain hotel
in this city and kept in a room until
morning.
The officer laughed at the absurdity
of the story and advised the man to
look after his daughter a little more
closely.

MINERS MEETING
With a Thousand Delegates viii Convene
Next Monday.

Indianapolis, Jan. I9.--Arrange
ments for the thirteenth annual con
vention of the United Mine Workers OF
America are completed. The sessions
will begin at 10 o'clock Monday in
Tomilson Hall. John Mitchell is pres
ident The officers hope that the work
will he completed by Feb l.
There are about 1000 delagetes, rep
resenting 1717 local unions, and 1S9,-
331 members, Alarge number OF the
delegates are from Ohio, Indiana, Illi-
nois and Pennsylvania. President
Mitchell's address and the report OF
Secretary Wilson will be made Tues
day, The matter of a permanent
building for the miners headquarters.
the printing Office for their journal,
and a home for the national President
will also come up for consideration.
Following the adjournment the dele
gates or nearly all of them, will go to
Columbus, o.. for the purpose of at
tending the Joint conference of the
coal operators and miners This con-
ference may last ten days.
1t is practically assured that neither
West Virginia nor Iowa will be admit
ted at the conference between the del
egates and Interstate Operators Asso-
citation at Columbus. The miners
agreed at a conference to make
strong effort to organize the miners OF
those states to a point where they
might be able to control the situation
and force the operators into competi-
tive fields, and thus place them upon
the same basis as Indiana. Illinois
Pennsylvania and Ohio, the states now
embraced in the field
In fixing the wage scale at the con-
ference last year, the miners were re-
minded of their promise to organize
West Virginia, and there was an init
nation of bad faith upon their part
This was successfully combatted by
the showing made, and this year more
organizers were sent into the field. In
this the national officers have been
partly successful, but the operators, it is
understood, declined to serd repre-
sentatives to the conference. and until
they can be persuaded to pursue this
course nothing can be done toward
bringing them into a scale agreement
Henry M. Stephenson, member of the
National Executive Board of Miners,
who lives at East Bank, w. Va, is here
in attendance at the meeting of the
board. He says that he has been un-
able to get the operators of his state to
be present at conference and that the
prospect of getting them to confer
with the delegates is very poor.

captors at Oberlin, Ind. The bullet is
still in the side of his face. but he suf-
fers no pain from it, and the wound is
not believed to be serious. Kuhns is
very respondent over his capture, but
his greatest regret is that he was cap
tured by farmers. Kuhns says he was
taken wholly by surprise-otherwise
he would not have been captured.

to Robert Morris. It numbers more than SeosOO9 members. and is constantly growing. It Is the nearest approach to Masonry that women will ever reach, and is confined to the mothers, wives, daugh- ters and sisters of Masens There are five degrees in the order. but they are all given at the flfst and only initiation.
 Mrs. Ewing's visit to Birmingham was for the purpose of organizing q Grand Chapter for the State, federalng the ln- dfvidual chapter already existing , throughout Alabama. She has recently organized a Grand Chapter In Georgia Since she came to Alabama a week ago she has visited Montgomery, Marion, Co., lumbia and Antalusia From Birmingham she wiI>go to Fayette, Corona and other points.
 Among the questions asked her yester- day was to the effect that If the secrecy of the Masonic order was eliminated would 1t prevent the order from accom- piishing the same amount of good.
 Tho newspaper woman suggested that an advanced twentienth century move ment might eleminate the secret side of Masonry. for she believed that the Ma sons could do Just as much good. if not more, by revealing the mystic phase, and that particularly would this be true of an aggregation of women, who might with equal discretion show to the world that their good work as an organization was not due to the fact that they were held together by secret and mysterious U,,+ Masonic point of view, declared that the same interest would not chara acterize the work If the fundamental principles were eliminated. She spoke of the beautiful ritual of the order of the Easter Star, and strongly opposed any suggestion that the secrets of the order should ever become known. She referred to the charities done by the chapters through out the country. None of the secrets of Masonry. she said were known to the order of the Eastern Star, She defined Masonry as uniting the heads of fami- lies, and the Order of the Eastern Star as uniting the families.
 Mrs, Ewing Is a woman of very com manding presence. She is from Crane, Mass, which Is quite near Boston. As the head of so large and influential an organization as the Order of the Eastern Star 1t goes without saying that she is woman of unusual executive ability and fine intelligence. It would be pleasure to see her preside over large assembly. She Is master of parliamen- tary law and from brief conversation with her 1t was evident that she has mas tered all that would be required of a woman filling so exalted a position. Her rulings come under the eyes of the most prominent Masons in the country and she has the unique distinction of presiding over an organization composed of both men and women Other American wom- en who are national figures are at the head of organizations composed exclu- sively of women.

COLONEL WILDER MAY GO.
Will Probably Be Ordered To ReJoin
 Ills Regiment Soon.

Manila, March 6.-It is consistently ru- mored that Col. Wilder, chief of the Ma nila police, Captain Gaines, in charge of the Manila secret service, and Lieu tenant Gillespie will be ordered to rejoin their regiments. No orders to this effect have yet been issued. General Davis, pro- vost marshal of Manila denies having recommended these changes. The officers themselves assert the stories are circu- lated by persons interested in trading with the insurgents.
 It is charged in certain quarters that the police are over-zealous in making ar rests of alleged insurgents under General MacArthur's proclamation.
 Notification has been given concerning the trial of Carman, Carranaza and oth- CTS who were arrested by the police on charges of dealing with the insurgents; and the police have been ordered to re- fer all casses in which they shall subse- quently obtain evidence to the provost marshal general for report to the mii- tary government for investigation be- fore making arrests.

NO CREDENCE GIVEN
To Report Concerning Woods Advice
 To Cuban Leaders.

Washington, March 6.-No credence is given here in official circles to the re port from Havana that General Wood has informed the members of the Cuban constitutional convention that the decla- ration of Congress in the Platt amend ment to the army appropriation bill Is merely a basis for further negotiations as to the relations between the United States and Cuba and that the rejection of the amendment by the convention would be followed by the reconvening of the American Congress in special session There is authority for the statement that the remarks attributed to General Wood are contrary to the wishes of the govern ment
 As one official expressed it. the action of Congress on the Cuban question was taken with the view of obviating an OK tra session of Congress, as well as to acquaint the Cuban constitutional con venton what was expected of 1t. He said that the declaration of Congress will stand until the convention Is ready to act in accordance herewith, otherwise the existing military government will con- tinue in power, at least until December next when Congress assemblies, and the Cuban question can be again taken up for such legislation as may seem to be necessary
