NO RIGHT TO DO MINING.
Basis of Suit to Forfeit the Reading
Conapany's Charter.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Oct. o.
F. H. Thompson, Of this city, today,
through counsel, forwarded to Attor-
ney General Ellkin, at Harrisburg, a
petition asking permission to use the
name of the commonwealth in suit
against the Philadelphia & Reading
Railway company to show cause why
the company's charter should not be
revoked. The ground on which the
suit is based is the alleged violation
Of the state constitution, article II,
section 5, which prohibits a carrying
company from engaging in mining.
The petition declares that the Read
ing Coal and Iron company and the
Temple Iron company, and all their
coal lands, leased or decided, are own
ed or controlled by. the Reading Rail-
way company. 1t also charges that
the Philadelphia & Reading Railway
company has entered into an "unlaw-
full combination to regulate and fix the
price of coaI' with the other o-called
anthracite carrying roads. The Read
ing is also held accountable, in large
measure. for the existence of the an
thracite miners strike
Suit was entered yesterday in the
United States circuit court by Mr..
Thompson, under the Sherman act, all
the principal coal carrying roads be-
ing made respondents.

PRESIDENT MITcHELL's REFUSAL
Says Responsibility Must Rest Upon
Those That VIII Not Arbtrate.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 9.-The
following letter from President Mitch
ell, of the miners, to President Roose-
welt, was made public today:
Hon. Carroll D. Wright has, no
doubt, reported to you the delivery of
your message to me last Monday and
my statement to him that I should
take your suggestion under advise
ment, although l. did not look upon it
with favor. Since that time I have con-
suited with our district presidents who
concur fully in my views. We desire
to assure you again that we feel keen
ly the responsibility Of our position
and the gravity of the situation, and it,
would give us great pleasure to take
any action which would bring this
coal strike to an end in manner that
would safeguard the interests of our
constituents.
'In proposing that there be an i'm
mediate resumption of coal mining
the conference at the White house We
believed that we had gone more than
half way and had met your wishes.
It is unnecessary in this letter to re-
fer to the malicious assault made upon
us in the response of the coal opera
tors. We feel confident that you must
have been impressed with the fairness
Of our proposition and the 1nsincer1ty
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 conf
dence in their willingness to do US
justice in the future; and, inasmuch as

It Was the Real Stuff.

Many stories are told of Dion Bouci-
cault as occurring during the active life
of that playwright actor. One relates to
the time he was playing piece called
THE Vampire" at the Princess Theater,
London. The opening scene represented
the highest regions of the Alps by moon
light, while a thunderstorm ragged in the
distance. The Vampire (Mr. BoucicaulD
was seen lying dead on the mountain
peak, to all appearances, but as a ray
of the moon touched his body he came
to life.
Of course the thunder was produced in
the usual manner, by the property man
with thunder sheet"
One night in the height Of the season
a tremendous clap of thunder startled
the audience and Interrupted Mr.. Bouci-
cault in the middle of a speech. Lowering
his voice SO that he could be heard only
by the property man, he said:
Very well. Mr.. Davies, you are making
more mistakes. That clap of thunder
came in the wrong place.
Mr.. Davies replied in stentorian tones,
which could be plainly heard all over the
mo fault of mine, sir, it wasn't my
thunder. Thunder's real out Of doors;
perhaps you can stop it there. '-Cleve-
land Plain Dealer.

they have refused to accept the deci-
sion of a tribunal selected by you, and
inasmuch as there is no law through
which you could enforce the findings
of the commission you suggest, we re-
spectfully 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 our propo-
sal at Washington, and we do not feel
that we should be asked to make fur
Their sacrifice.
1--WE appreciate your solicitude for
the people of our country, who are now
and will be subjected to great suffer-
ing and Inconvenience by the prolong-
alton 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 defer to fair and
impartial investigation"

concerned. We have a complete rec
ord of everything necessary to establish
innocence of any disreputable connec-
ton.
"Of course there is constant de-
mand for bodies and l have no means
of knowing what extent of body

supplying specimensvto institutions in

ion there had been no body snatching
from Lakewood.
after interment of body" he said,
1--WE leave the ground in such shape
that 1 do not believe the cleverest
workers could get a body out of the
grave without leaving some sign of
their operations. We have never found
any such signs and I discredit the
story absolutely. Of course we do not
light the cemetery at night nor do we
keep watchmen out, but there is a con-
slant supervision by day and 1 am
sure that if anything of the sort al
legged had been done, we should have
found it out"
"The ST. Paul board Of control" said
N. P. Langford, lis very cautious in
the matter of disposing of the bodies
of paupers and hospital patients. Every
effort is made to ascertain the condl-
ton of every person that dies in the
hospital, and if there is any doubt as
to whether a person has relatives the
body is buried in the county cemetery.
Board Is Cautious.
1--WE often refuse to give up a body
that we think may have a claimant,
even though by so doing we render
ourselves liable to a fine prescribed by
the law for refusing to honor the re-
QUESTION of the committee appointed to
secure anatomical subjects for the col
legeS. The law renders US liable to
fine of $4,000 for failure to deliver a
body that is legal subject.
Last year of sixty-four people who
died without claimants only twelve
were given to the university; the re-
mainder were buried in the county
cemetery.
"There is no possibility of bodies
being secretly taken away, as we have
an actuary who makes a personal in
spection of every coffin that is inferred
in the cemetery. He is notified when
body is sent, and he reports when 1t
is buried There is no way in which
a body could be gotten away. Indeed,
there is no reason why the university
should buy bodies for the law provides
a source of supply.
Years ago, when we had no burial
ground, and the bodies were inferred in
all cemeteries, there was a chance for
dishonesty on the part of undertakers,
but the system we now have renders
such practices impossible"

A plug had blown out somewhere.
And the motor beneath those lovers twain
Gave a pitiful groan as thing jim pain

Bewailing his luck and beshrewing fate,

FULL TIME AND STEADY WORK.
President Baer Says He Is Ready to
Promise This,

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Oct. 9.-Rev.
P. C. Nagle, rector of st. Nicholas Ger
man Roman Catholic church of this
. city, wrote a letter to President Baer,
of the Reading company, appealing to
him to do something for his people. He
stated that there was not much COM
plant against the scale Of wages as
there was against the lack of steady
work. He felt that if the companies
would promise the men work six days
a week, instead of an average the year
round of four days week, the workers
would have little cause for complaint.
DR.. Nagle received the following re-
ply from Mr.. Baer today:
'I am perfectly willing to promise
the men full time and steady work,
except when work is prevented by I'M
avoidable accidents. 1 am quite sure
the conditions are such that can keep
this promise. Will you kindly tell me
how I can give this assurance to the
men to make it most effective?'

CASS LAKE, Mimi, Oct. 9.-Maj.
Scott telegraphed to Washington for
instructions in reference to his atti-
tude to the Chippewa Indians in refus-
ing to accept the regular monthly pay
ment yesterday at the Leech Lake
agency. The Chippewas met at the
agency and the major had their regu-
lar payment of SIS each ready, but
when he rendered it to the first In
dams they Indignantly refused it.
They held a council and Maj. Scott
was emphatically informed that they
would not take the regular payment
unless he paid to them the stumpage
money, averaging SIS per head. This
he could not do without authority
from Washington. No explanations
satisfied, and so the major is awaiting,
instructions from Washington and
the Indians are waiting very impa-
tiently for their $40. What the gov
eminent will do is impossible to say,
but it is hoped by the. people that the
Indians will receive. the, stumpage
money, which is theirs by law. Maj,
Scott does not fear any violence, but
some citizens are apprehensive, of
danger if the money is refused.
