ROBBERS NOT CAUGHT
Men Who Held Up Is. & NJ. Train sim at
Large

Futile attempts were made Sunday
10 secure a trace of the men who
robbed the Burlington train near
Woodlawn on Saturday morning. The
officers throughout the eastern section
OF Nebraska did not relax their efforts
during the day and reports of sus-
picious characters were continually
coming to Burlington headquarters in
Lincoln, but none of the men seen
tailed exactly with the description of
the robbers furnished by the trainmen
who went through the ordeal of the
hold-up. Two men were detained ut
Hubbell, which is in Thayer county,
but only one was like any of the rob-
bers. Both were tall and the officers
seemed to think it not worth while 10
arrest them.
Every indication points to one of
the most skilful hold-ups that could
have been planned. The railroads in
two hours got a great number of men
in motion guarding their interests, but
the thieves seem to have vanished.
This is believed to be possible only
where some of them are well ac-
quainted with the topography of the
country.
At Burlington headquarters it was
said Sunday night that no new de-
velopments had been uncovered dur
ing the day worthy of mention. The
detention of the two men at Hubbell
was not regarded as furnishing a clue
to the thieves. though their records
will be looked up.

President of United Mineworkera
Answers Roosevelt
MINERS WENT HALF WAY
Leave Question to Presidential Com
mittee. Did All That Was Ncces-
sary other News

A Washington, Oct. 10. dispatch says:
The reply Of John Mitchell, president
of the mine workers union, to the APP
peal of President Roosevelt for a tenn
porary suspension of the strike in the
anthracite region was made public at
the White house yesterday. It follows:
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt, Presi-
dent of the United States, Washington,
ID. c.: Dear Sir-Hon. Carroll ID.
Wright has, no doubt, reported to you
the delivery of your message to me
last Monday and my statement to him
that l should take your suggestion
under advisement, although l did not
look upon II with favor.
"Since that time | have consulted
with u district president, who con-
cur fully in my views.
1--WE desire to assure again that we
feel keenly the responsibility of our
position and the gravity of the situa-
ton, and 1t would give us great
pleasure to take any action which
would bring this coal strike to an end
in a maner that would safeguard our
constituents.
"In proposing that there be an i'm
mediate resumption Of coal mining
upon the conditions we suggested in the
conference at the White house, we be-
lieved that we had gone more than
half way and had met your wishes.
ut Is unnecessary in this letter to
refer to the malicious assault made
upon us in the response of the coal
operators. We feel confident that you
must have been impressed with the fair
ness of u proposition and the insin-
cerity of those who maligned us.
Having in mind our experience
with the coal operators in the past, we
have no reason to feel any degree of
confidence in their willingness to do
us justice In the future; and inasmuch
as they have refused to accept the de-
cision Of a tribunal selected by you,
and inasmuch as there is no law
through which you could enforce the
findings Of the commission you sug-
gest. we respectfully decline to advise
our people to return to work simply
upon the hope that the coal operators
might be induced or forced to comply
with the recommendations of your
commission
"As stated above, we believe that we
went more than half way in Jul pro-
posal at Washington, and We do not
feel that we should be asked to make
further sacrifice.
1--WE appreciate your solicitude for
the people of our country, who are now
and will be subjected to great suffering
and inconvenience by a prolongation of
the coal strike. and we feel that the
onus of this terrible state Of affairs
should be placed upon the side which
has refused to refer to fair and i'm
partial investigation.
Il am respectfully,
JOHN MITCHELL.
president u. NJ. w. of A."
