ARMY MEN INVESTIGATE.
Fort schuyler Onicers Think That Mercy.
nOlds Was Druggeti.

Major Medorem Crawford Of the army
post at Fort Schuyler has taken a hand in
the investigation of the death Of Samuel
McReynolds, the private Of the Eightieth
Coast Artillery who died last Tuesday in
the Clover Hospital.
McReynolds came to the city a week ago
Saturday and went TO the Transfer Hotel
in East Forty-second street When he left
the fort he had about $40 He was found
in his room at the hotel the next morning
at 10 O'Clock, apparently asphyxiated by
gas, and with only 81 in his pockets.
Lieut.. Husey and Sergt. Donohue were
sent from the fort to investigate. At the
hotel they learned that soldier looking
somewhat like McReynolds and who had
just returned from Cuba with nearly $500
back pay had been around the barroom
drinking before McReynolds came and
registered.
The army men think that McReynolds
who came along later. was mistaken for
the soldier from Cuba and fell into the hands
Of crooks and was given knock -out drops
and then taken to his room and the gas
turned on An autopsy showed there was
not enough gas in his lungs to have pro-
duced death so portions of his stomach
have been sent TO a chemist for analysis.

While Looking for Change-Struck
Down while Making short Cut Home
An Oyster Boat Hand Arrested.

FALL RIVER, Mass. Dec. 2l.-Gaspard o
Vandal, a groceryman. 80 years old, was
struck down and robbed OF the money he
carried at IL o'clock last night and two
hours later he died of the injuries he re-
ceived. One man is held under suspicion
and the police are searching for another.
Vandals grocery was at 1875 Nashua
street He resided at POT Lowell street.
His receipts for the day were about $500
and about 10 o'clock he counted up, paid
of his clerks and closed for the night. He
went to a nearby barber shop and when
shaved took out a roll of notes TO find some
change. Then he started for his home.
To make his route shorter he went through
a blind alley that led into shed. By pass
ing through that shed he would reach his
own yard. As he stopped to 60 through
the door he was set upon by two men and
one of them struck him with baseball bat.
He fell to the ground and was robbed. He
was too weak to call for help but his groans
were heard by a woman in the yard. She
called her husband and they carried Vandal
into their tenement. They summoned a
physician, who treated him for apoplexy.
At A. NJ. he appeared to be unconscious
and the physician was called again. He
arrived with another doctor and found
that Vandal was dead. Then the police
were notified.
The men who commit ted the deed had
secured a start. The crime was committed
within fifty yards Of a corner upon which
a policeman was standing when the blow
was struck. The blow was 40 hard that
new bat was broken and the skull so badly
fractured that when the Coroner made his
examination 1t fell to pieces. To-day the
police arrested Ernest King, hand on Il Q
oyster steamer Mikado Of New Haven.
He was shaved last night at the same shop
at which Vandal called and then started
for the dock with a companion. He di d
not 60 aboard the boat but inst ad came
up the street from the dock again and went
into a barber shop and was shaved once
more, this time having his mustache
removed,
The police are satisfied that they will pro-
duce evidence to hold him and also TO b ing
in his accomplice. Vanual was the owner
of about $4,000 in real estate and was mar
ried three months ago in Canada.

Receiver Is Asked by Boston Citizens for
the Anthracite Properties.
Boston, Sept ga committee Of
citizens, headed by the publisher Of
Boston newspaper, Saturday sought re-
lief in the courts from the present
coal shortage and high prices by ask
ing for a receiver for the coal COM
panies and coal-carrying roads. A
bill inequity was filed in the supreme
court against the corporations involved
in the anthracite strike. The petition
ers ask that a receiver be appoint
ed for the benefit of all concerned,
upon such terms and in such manner,
and with such agents and servants,
and with such rates of wages and 9th
er conditions of employment, and at
such prices for goods produced and
sold, as the court shall from time to
time adjudge proper.
The bill is based upon the legal the
DRY of the coal situation given by H.
w. Chaplin, lawyer. Chaplin says
in support of his position: ''Since the
public have a right in the mines-a
right to have coal forthwith mined for
immediate consumption-and have a
right to have that coal Immediately
transported out of the mine regions
by the coal-carrying roads, court
of equity if no other solution of the
difficulty is open, has authority to, and
upon the application of representa-
tive proportion of the people undoubt-
eddy would, appoint a receiver or re-
ceivers to take into his or their hands
the whole business now in the hands
of the anthracite coal combine, and
to run it in their place."

JOHN MITCHELL's STATEMENT
He Replies to Baer's Allegations Relative
to the Coal Strike.

to the Coal Strike.
Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-John Mitch
ell. president of the United Mine
Workers, has written a Statement in
reply to recent utterances of Baer,
president of the Reading railway.
Mitchell says in part: "Mr. Baer states
that the wages paid in the anthracite
coal regions are, compared with the
wages paid in like employment, fair
and just By like employment Mr..
Baer must refer to bituminous coal
mining am willing and prepared to
demonstrate that wages in the bitumin-
Gus coal fields are from 20 to 40 per
cent. higher than those paid for SINH
lar classes of work in the anthracite
fields" He then present figures to
prove that assertion, and adds that
the danger in anthracite mines to Life
is greater than in bituminOus.
Mitchell says: There are other
statements Of Mr.. Baer which are
equally incorrect; among these is his
assertion that the miners only worked
from four to six hours per day. and
his further assertion that the lowest
scale of wages was IS cents for boy
slate pickers.' If Mr.. Baer desires l
shall gladly furnish him with the
names and addresses of thousands Of
slate pickers, each of whom received
much less than So cents per day, and
l shall be willing to have the returns
verified by the companies pay rolls.
1.-The next misstatement of Mr.. Baer
to which I shall give notice is that
which claims that for some mysteri'
Gus reason the miners restricted the
output of the mines. Mr.. Baer claims
that in this manner the product of
the collieries has been reduced about
1919 per cent. and that in the case
OF the Reading company it amounted
to more than 100000 TONS"
Mitchell then quotes figures from Of
fetal reports and The Engineering and
Mining Journal to show that this
statement is wide of the truth, and
that even the per capita output was
increased, not diminished.
He also denies that the United Mine
Workers seeks to interfere with the
engagement of the coal properties,
that the organization is lawless, and
that the companies cannot pay the in
crease demanded. He declares that
the hired guards are lawless, how
ever, and that their acts are charged
to the miners. He declares the state
ment that the 40 per cent. of the coal
mined being less in the market than
