This is Opinion of Newspaper Cor
respondent.
WIRES HIS PAPER TO THAT EFFECT
Says the Terms viii Be Modified and
Will Be Accepted by President
Mitchell and the Railroad Presidents
Outlook is Bright.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15.-The coal
strike is to be arbitrated and settled.
In very short time-probably week
or ten days-the miners will be back
at work and the fuel famine will be re-
lieved This is the opinion OF news
paper correspondent who last night
sent the following by wire to his pa
per:
President Mitchell, speaking for the
miners, will accept the arbitration
proposition made to President Rose
welt by j. Pierpont Morgan. But he
will not accept it without certain modi-
fications.
The notifications are likely to be
of such character that the railroad
presidents will have little difficulty in
accepting them. Mr. Morgan's propo-
sition was made with the idea that
President Mitchell would wish to have
some notifications before asserting to
1t. Hence no surprise will be felt in
= New York when the counter PROPOSE
E ton is made from the miners.
81 Roosevelt Dissatisfied.
Word comes from Washington in the
press dispatches that President Roose
welt is himself somewhat dissatisfied
with the arbitration proposition made
BY the railroad presidents. He thinks
4 it rather narrow, and that it should be
broadened by the addition Of two men
to be chosen by the President without
any restriction as to their occupation
or profession. Ii the President asks
that the board be thus enlarged and
the railroad presidents assent to it
this action will materially help the sit
uation at this end of the line.
President Mitchell and his advisers
have not decided as yet what modifi
cations they will demand. Nor are the
changes which they propose of vita
importance. The important fact, at
ter all, is that as it now appears MI
Mitchell will soon be ready to an
nounce his acceptance of Morgan
plan and his intention to call the dele
gate convention at an early day for tn
purpose of having the men ordere'
back to work under the terms of tn
proposition. This will mean the en-
of the strike at an early day. and tina
is what the public wants above ever.

Editor Courier:--A man who will
make such statement in public
speech as that attributed to John p.
Reese last Friday evening is not fit
subject to represent the Christian and
conservative people of the sixth dis
trict in the United States congress.
Mr.. Reese said. Il belong to the same
democracy to which Jesus Christ,
Thomas Jefferson. Andrew Johnson
and Abraham Lincoln belonged" This
| utterance OF his is enough to condemn
MI. Reese as one ignorant OF
the views of Jefferson, Jackson and
Lincoln. The views of Jackson were
not in line with those of Lincoln, eX-
| cept in the preservation of the Union.
| Lincoln was not the follower of Jeffer-
son nor of Jackson, but held rather to
| the ideas of Alexander Hamilton, the
/ elder Adams and of Washington. This
much is given to show that John p
Reese is not well advised in political
history 1t is, however, of more i'm
portance to the Christian people of the
district to know that the democratic
candidate for congress is irreverent
and indeed scoffer of the Christian
religion. In closing his speech at the
new Market street theatre, Mr.. Reese
said: 81 belong to the same dem
ocracy to which Jesus Christ, Thomas
! Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Abra
ham Lincoln belonged 1t was pre-
sumption and arrogance on his par
to assume that he is the same kline
of democrat as Thomas Jefferson
Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lin
coin, but it was an uncalled for ant
almost blasphemous remark for him tx
claim that he is the same kind OF ;
democrat as Jesus Christ. 1t shows
that the young man has no well de
fined opinions of his own on religion
matters, and this could be forgiven
but it also shows that he has small
respect for those who believe in tn
divinity OF Jesus Christ in thus assc
ciating the Savior of the World wit
the politicians and presidents of tn
day. "A Voter.

ONE KIND OF A MAN.

The man who makes unjust demands
or drives hard bargains never gets
the best of anything. Every man he
deals with resents his acts and he is
soon enveloped in dark clouds which
obscure his views, cloud his judgment
and make him impotent of good.

Horace Roies, His Theories.

The Storm Lake Pilot-Tribune says
Horace Boies personal platform is SO

states that it is doubtful, if he were to

of his plans or theories to a successful
issue.

Warrant for Leland Barton,
Real Estate Broker

Policeman Nussoaum, of the Sixth
precinct, took Leland Barton, a real
estate broker, into custody yesterday df-
ternoon on charges of making threats.
Barton is said to have drawn a pistol
on Miss Margaret Willard during an al
tercation which, occurred between them
in Barton's office yesterday morning. He
was released on 5000 bond last night and
his case will probably be called in court
this morning.

fact that friends called to see her, and
in quarrel he pulled revolver.

rant 10 serve, and arrested the man at
his house. 604 II Street northwest. where

MRS. LlTTLEFORD IMPROVING
Young Woman Who Shot Herself Able
TO Be Moved to Her Home.

Mrs. Ada Littleford. the unfortunate
woman who several days ago shot her
self in the left breast with suicidal in
tent, was so much improved yesterday
that her attending physician, DR.. W. P.
Reeves. thought it best to remove her
TO her home from the Homeopathic Hos
pital. whcre she has been under treat
ment.
The young woman has been begging
for several days to be sent home, but
the doctors have thought it best not to
move her. Owing TO her weakened con-
dition the physicians have deemed it
unwise to use the X-rays TO locate the
bullet, which has been probed for sew,
eral time without success.
The wound inflicted by the bullet is
declared 10 be slowly healing. and the
surgeons are hopeful that the bullet may
slough out. Dr. Sharp. the resident ply.
aician at the Homeopathic Hospital has
given the woman every possible atten-
ticn. and has had the X-ray instrument
ready 10 use If at any time she should
show enough strength TO pass through
the ordeal successfully.

order. He said that the entire valley
WAS in a riotous state, and that the
company feared for the safety of their
men, as the strikers swore that they
would wipe out every ''scab" during the
night or in the morning. General Goblin
said that he was willing to send troops.
but that he could not do so until the
sheriff of the county had assured him
that their presence was necessary.
