 wilkesbarre, Pa, October E.-The Washington conference between Presi- dent Roosevelt. the coal operators and the representatives of the anthracite coal mine workers having been without re- suit the strike leaders are now engaged in tightening up their lines and prepar- ing themselves to combat any movement by the operators to break the ranks or the strikers. The first step in this direc- tion was taken today when w. R. Rus sell, president of district No. 12, of the miners union, which comprises the en- tire state of Illinois, came here by di- rection of President Mitchell for the pur- pose Of discussing relief measures. MT Russell had a conference lasting sever al hours with his chief, and at its con- clusion it was announced that steps would immediately be taken to carry cut a plan by which the relief fund from Illi- nois, at least will be increased. What the plan is. both MT. Mitchell and Mir. Russell declined to say. Mir. Russell said if 1t were necessary to do so the Illinois miners stand ready to increase the as- sessment He said they are taking a SIcdl AiAlcA III lltc SlIuSBl0 anu Wiit go deep into their own pockets to help the Pennsylvania workers. President Russell also said the soft coal operators are also in sympathy with the strikers in tins state. He said these operators believed the union was good thing for both the men and the employers. The Illinois district president intimated in his conversation that some of the coal operators in the west have shown their sympathy for the hard coaI miners in a substantial way.
 Walter B. Weyle, who has done consid- erable work for United States Commis- sioner of Labor Carroll D. Wright in the anthracite fields, spent about three hours with President Mitchell this afternoon. MT. Weyle, being so closely identified with MT. Wright it was surmised by the corps of newspaper correspondents here that he may have carried some messages to MT. Mitchell from Washington. but both gentlemen denied that the visit had any significance.
 A correspondent of the Associated Press tonight asked President Mitchell in the presence of MT. Weyle what he heard from President Roosevelt and his reply was: ''Why do you ask, what have you heard?" He was informed that the Pres ident and his cabinet had held a long conference today on the coal strike, and he was asked if he had heard from the Presidents cabinet. His answer this time was q have not heard from the cabinet
 Have you heard directly or indirectly from Commissioner Wright?'
 "I do not care to say anything. MT. Mitchell had nothing to say regard ing the proposed plans for ending the strike.

 daybrcak this morning squad of Thir- teenth regiment men stationed near the
 Grassy Island colliery. came across an
 Italian striker named Giuseppe Papriello prowling about the utpost with a shot gun. He fired in the direction in which
 the. soldiers were approaching, after alleging he was shooting at bird Col onel Watres had received information that Papriello was receiving arms and ammunition, and this evening a detach-

 Twice during last night sentries about the Thirteenth camp were stoned, and early in the evening train bearing troops from Oliphant to Birdseye en- countered pile of rocks and a felled tree across the tracks There Is strong feeling prevalent. especially among the
 business men, that there should be a convention of the strikers called to pass
 upon the Baer proposition to refer to the
 district courts any dispute that cannot
 be satisfactorily adjusted between the miner and his employer. The operators i declare that If such convention was | held and secret ballot taken the vote in favor of going back to work on these terms would be almost unanimous. Mine workers leaders say the proposi- tion is a sham intended to deceive the public.

MT Mitchll says he has no apprehen- sion of the strikers breaking away. He claims the companies are keeping con stant pressure on the workers to return but without success.
 The three anthracite presidents will ar rive here tomorrow for a conference with their chief. Tomorrow the four will leave for Buffalo where they will meet a com mittee from the national association of manufacturers, which organization hopes to be able to devise some plan by which the mining of coal can be resumed.

Game of Football on
Institute Campus.

The football team of the Louis
lana State University, who were
on their way to Austin to play
the Texas University, stopped
here last Thursday and gave the
Institute boys game of the
great college sport. OF course
the game could result only one
way. The L. S. u. team scored
AZ and completely shut out the
Institute. Considering the su-
periority of the visiting eleven,
the game was very interesting,
several of the Institute boys
showing decided skill and making
some really clever plays.
Quite large crowd of people
witnessed the game and seemed
to enjoy it.
Before the game the L. S. U.
boys were treated to lunch by
the young ladies of Miss May
fields cooking class. At night
they were given: a reception in

The L. S. u. boys left on the

nouncement made on the first
page of this paper by the La
coste Hardware Company.

who represented Mr.. Simms,
stated to the court that the de-
Tense was ready for trial, but
District Attorney Campbell
moved for continuance, on ac
count of Flornoy's unadvoida BILE

that he intended to prove a
material fact by Flornoy without

Gums stances Judge Debaillon
granted the continuance asked
by the State.
