PROGRAMME FOR THE MEETING
President to Appeal to Both Sides to Come
Together as Men.

President to Appeal to Both Sides to Come
Together Men.
At the meeting tomorrow the line
of approach toward the settlement of
the strike will be an appeal by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to both sides to come
together as men, and not to allow false
pride or feeling of Obstinacy to stand
in the way OF the termination of the
strike 1t IS stated by one of the
presidents advisors that beyond this
the president cannot go; he has no
powers of compulsiOn to bring into
play against either side, and he must
rely upon the persuasive qualities of
his appeals to their sense of humanity
if anything tangible is to be accom-
plished.
The. president intends to lay before
his hearers the situation as it appears
to him with all the suffering which is
expected to follow hard coal famine,
and will urge them in the interests
of humanity to open the mines and
supply the demand for coal. The presi-
dent has taken this action because he
feels it to be his duty to do so. The
president has, in a sense, taken upon
himself the burdens of an arbitrator

and labor, and though it is not even

yeas old, was found in the apartment
of L. AppleOrd, on the third floor of

had been dead for days, according to n
medical expert; the body was mutilated

the tragedy Appleord. in dazed condi-
ton, was in the room when it was en-
tered by the police. DIR. Donovan, who
examined the body, found that the alb
domen had been gashed inseveral places.
He said he believed the woman had
been dead five or six days, and it was
his belief that she had been the victim
of criminal operation.

Devery Delegation Is Rejected.

When the convention decided to
adopt the report of the credentials COM
mittee. unseating both contesting
delegations on the ground of corrup-
ton in the primary, by the vote of
422 to 81. then Devery walked out of
the convention after declaring himself
a good Democrat. and proceeded to
hold a mass meeting on the steps OF
the United States hotel. He was as
sisted in this by James Graham. of the
LOngshoremen's association. of New
York. and Richard Butler. of the Unit
ed Bridge Workers. of New York. But
there had been Il wild time in the con-
vention before Devery was rejected.
When the credentials committees re-
port was read there were howls and
hisseS and cheers. but it was evident
that the hiSSeS and hOwlS came from
the galleries. for in the vote only six
teen delegates voted for Devery. In
attempting to restore order Chairman
Stanchfield referred to these bowling
and kissing as thugs and ScOundrels."
What the Labor Men Said.
At the Devery meeting on the steps
of the United States hotel Graham took
occasion to say: Labor men have
been Overridden and insulted by differ
ent sets until they have risen up in
arms against them. When they nom-
mated Mr.. Devery they placed their
hearts and souls in it. And
yet by the work of this convention
they have no representation whatever"
Butler said: Hill and those others
with him have put themselves up
against it in n terrible style. Their
styles will not he forgotten for many
years to come. l tell you. as a man
representing the United Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers of the Unit
ed States and Canada, that we resent
the action of these scoundrels.
They called us thugs and scoundrels.
Do we look like scoundrels."

there is no record of berths secured at the
local office or any way of finding out if
Indianapolis people reserved berths.
II was said at the Union Station that

inquiry in the neighborhood of Judge Walk

developed the fact that he and Mrs. Walker
while probably passengers on the train that
