Attorneys Charge Operators With
 Having Broken Faith
WENT BACK ON MvEAGH
They Assert That the President Acqui- esced in the Plan Proposed by Mo- Veagh and Then Populated Him.
 Independents irresponsible.

Scranton, Pa, November 26-Quite in contrast with the happy faces of the in- dependent operators committee when it returned from New York last night, were the countenances of the miners representa- tives when they returned to- day from their disappointing trip to Washington. How the latter view the sudden and surprising turn of affairs is well set forth in a statement issued this afternoon by Messrs. Darrow and Lloyd, the miners attorney, who accompanied MT. Mitchell to Washington. They clear ly indicate that they think the coal road presidents acquiesced in MT. Mc- Veagh's plan of settlement out of court and then repudiated him. The al- legation that George F. Baer' signed the telegram to Chairman Gray of the com mission, declaring that the big com panies were agreeable to the McVeagh idea of amicable adjustment and that the same man signed the telegram to the negotiations, is made in the state ment. The statement is as follows:
 Statement Issued.
 "The commission adjourned for ten days in pursuance of an arrangement be- tween the parties to give opportunity for conci1iation on account of a tee- gram which we understood was writ ten by George F. Baer in the presence of and with the consent of every rail- road concerned and was signed by Wayne McVeagh This telegram was written after a careful reading of the tentative agreement which had been prepared and written by counsel of both parties and which had been submitted to the commission. At the request of MT. McVeagh, MT. Mitchell, MT. Darrow and Mr. Lloyd went to Washington to consult upon some minor details of the negotiations. There was no friction or important disagreement between the parties in the meeting in Washington. Later in the day and after the confer ence in New York with the independent operators MT. McVeagh received a tele- gram calling off all negotiations and ad- vising that the matter be settled by the commission in a regular hearing.
 ''The man who wrote the telegram to Judge Gray stating that the main feat ures of the contract were acceptable was the same man who signed the telegram to Wayne McVeagh three or four days later, stating that negotiations must end.
 A copy of the tentative agreement is in the hands of Hon. Wayne Mcveagh, MT. Wilcox of the Delaware and Hudson company. Carroll D. Wright and proba- ply MT. Baer.
 eve can see no reasons for the ex- pressions of any opinion, the facts speak for themselves We have been ready at all times to consult with any one in in- terest and make any reasonable adjust ment, but we have no anxiety over the case whatever or it's resultsS and shall be ready for business when the commission meets.

All of the prominent southern elevens have games scheduled for today and as a rule the teams are evenly matched.

The Tar Heels have a good drop kicker and are apt to get in goal from the field. Vanderbilt should win from Sewanee.

ART OF SUCCCTASH.

The art Of making succotash was taught TO the
Colonial housekeeper by the Indians. who at the

also raised certain species of beans. which

For winds 70 watt on my way.
But leave il to a Higher Will
To stay speed me, trusting still
That all is well and sure that ne

Through storm and calm. and will not fall

enjoy the Sunshine outing arranged for them
The policeman the crossing, who brought all
vehicles a standstI till the whole company
was safely over the tracks, beamed good naturedly
on the girls, and the passers by, men and women,
stopped TO gaze the bright, expectant faces as
the children waited for the special car TO come
Little ragged newsboys forgot that they had un-
sold papers. and lotered about the sidewalk 10

ice cream" they said regretfully. Mrs Jerome.
who had charge of the party said; This Sun
shine outing is for girls. but perhaps some day
the bright beams from the Tribune Sunshine So
ciety may shine you, too" At this moment the
large ten seat car arrived. with inspector in
charge. The girls scrambled to their seats and
the boys, apparently forgetful OF their dsappoint-
ment. sent up a parting cheer that could De heard
a block away. The generous donor who provided
the money for this outing will feel amply repaid
