IT WILL NOT DOWN
Story That a Morgan Syndicate Is
After Iowa's Coal.
osKALoosA OWNERS APPROACHED
Combination Has Placed q Value of
Eight Millions on All the
.*. Properties.

Special to The Journal.
Marshalltown, Iowa, Jan. 15.-News on
what is believed to be good authority
comes from Oskaloosa that a syndicate,
Of which J. P. Morgan is the head, is in
the field to buy up all the coal mines in
Iowa.. The rumor was started some time
ago and then denied, but there appears to
be good ground for the belief that such a
deal Is being contaminated.
Recently one Of the largest coal mine
owners living in Oskaloosa has been in
conference with two representatives OF
the combine negotiating for the sale of
his mines. He would much prefer not
to dispose of his property, but he was
given to understand that he must either
sell or take the consequences, which
meant being frozen out. It Is under
stood the combination has placed valu-
alton of $S,000,000 upon all the coal min
ing properties in Iowa. 1t is it's intention
to acquire possession Of them, and Iowa
consumers, among them the smaller indie
pendent lines of railways, will have to
pay 81 a ton for coal next year instead Of
$1.40. It is generally supposed the Penn
sylvania railroad and allied interests are
behind the deal. The mines of Illinois
have already been acquired, it is only
another step to the Iowa mines and then
on to other fields. Whether the combine
will eventually increase the price to the
private consumer is not known.
It is possible that the mines. can be
operated under one ownership more
economically and the. coal sold at points
Of consumption nearest the mines of pro-
duction cheaper than under Individual
ownership, as now. It is also possible
that the combine expects less trouble with
it's labor than has been the rule in this
state. heretofore.
All this remains to be seen, but one
thing seems to be certain, that the Iowa
coal mining industry is about to pass into
the hands Of Morgan and his associates.

FATAL FANCY
Engineer Loses His Life Because of

engineer LOSES f11S LA1c ocCtLuSC "a
am Unreal Danger.
Peru, Ind, Jan. ia danger which
really existed only, in mind overweight
by dwelling on recent railroad wrecks
last night brought fatal injuries to J. b.
Sible, an old and trusted engineer. of the
Wabash railroad. Sible was at the throt-
tie of the big locomotive Of the Limited
last night. His fireman, Burt Prick, no.
ticed nothing unusual about his conduct
except that he was more quiet and some
what more uneasy in his expression than
usual. The train was laundering along
at a rate of forty miles an hour, when
the lights of the town Of Attica appeared
The track was clear and the signal lights
Of the switch showed an unobstructed
path. Suddenly the old engineer gave a
start and shouted to his companion:
Jump for your life, Burt! The switch
is turned and we'll crash into"
The sentence was not finished, for in an
instant Sible had applied the safety
brake, reversed the lever and had jumped
to escape the spectre his harrassed nerves
had conjured up. The fireman followed,
but was not injured. The train came to
stop and Frick went back to find his
engineer The latter lay on the ,roadbed,
horribly injured. The passengers were
shaken up by the sudden stopping of the
train, but none Of them was injured.

STATES PINE CUT
Big Companies Would Not Wait for
Day of Sale.
SOME HIGH-HANDED PROCEEDINGS
Settlers and Lumbermen of Burnett
County, Wis, Say They've
Been BUncOed.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Grantsburg, Wis, Jan. 15.-More than
a half million feet of pine, illegally cut
from state lands and now piled up on
sideways in northern Burnett county,
awaiting snow on which it may be hauled
and dumped into the river, bids fair to in
volye the state land department in
scandal which will seriously affect state
politics In the coming campaign.
The Wisconsin state land commission
consists of the secretary OF state, treas
urer and attorney general and the bust
ness Of the department is managed by
chief clerk working under the direction
OF the commissioners. The present chief
clerk has been in the Office for many years
and is more familiar with the workings of
the department than any commissioner
before him. The commissioners are
legally responsible for whatever irregu-
larities there may be in the department,
although the clerk and his assistants may
be the guilty ones in fact. 81 -. 81.
The story Of how this particular tract
of pine came to be cut is long one and
some one is guilty, either Willingly or I'M
Willingly, of collision with the pine
thieves. The facts having been laid be-
fore the department., It remains Tor tine,
commissioners to either shoulder the.
blame or ferret out the wrong doer and
fire him. or face the scandal which must
follow. -C
Three years ago the Wisconsin legisla-
ture withdrew all the state lands from
market and gave the land commissioners
sole power tc appraise the lands and sell
them whenever they were ready.
Why the lands were withdrawn is a
story of itself, the main point being that
the money for which they would sell
would be increased in time and by later
legislation could eventually be trans
ferred from the Drainage fund to the
school fund, thus taking it from the To-
calities where tue lands are located and
giving 1t to the normal schools and uni
versity at the expense of the settler on
the frontier for the benefit of the older
settled communities. T.
The educational pressure brought to
bear on the land commission has pre-
vented it placing the lands Oh the market,
much to the dissatisfaction of the set
tiers where the lands are located. '-.'
For the three years local lumbermen
and settlers in burnett county have made
frequent application to the department for
the pine standing on six sections IN town
40 north, range Is west, and have been
told that It could not be sold. -~-
What was their surprise few weeks
ago to see this pine advertised to be sold
at auction in Madison on Jan. "a, the sale

THE CRAIG INQUEST.
Governor Crane a Witness at Pitts

 field.
 PITTSFIELD, Mass, Sept. 13.-Gov- ernor w. Murray Crane testified yes- terday afternoon before the Craig in quest, his appearance being somewhat in the nature of surprise. It was gen. erally understood that he would be one of the witnesses, but Special Justice Charles l.. Hubbard, who presides over the inquest, and Chief of Police Nich- olson, who has charge of the witnesses, had declined to state what plans had been made as to receiving the govern or's testimony.
 In his evidence the governor said that, in company with President Roose- welt and George B. Cortelyou, secreta- ny to the president, he was driving on South street on the day of the acci- dent and was nearing the foot of How ard hill, when he heard the gong of the approaching car. At that time the leading horses were on the track, and he quickly arose to his feet to see how close the car was to the carriage. He was dumfounded to find that the car was but a short distance away and that it was approaching at a very fast rate of speed. The governor could not tell just how the collision occurred. He remembered nothing as to how he was thrown and only remembered assisting the president from the carriage.
 In all sixteen witnesses were exam ined, and at the close of the afternoon hearing the inquest was adjourned un- til Monday at 10 a. m

yENEZUELA,S WAR.
Report of the Recent Fight Was Ex-
 aggerated.

Report of the Recent Fight Was Ex-
 aggerated.
 WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, Sept. 13.-- 1t has been learned here from Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, that the report re gently issued by Torres Cardenas, sec retary of President Castro, that the revolutionary army under General Lu- ciano Mendoza was annihilated Sept. 8 near Tinaquillo was gross exaggera- tion. The enga cement of that date was not an important one, and only the vanguard of the revolutionary forces was engaged.
 1t has been learned with certainty that a serious battle has commenced in the vicinity of Tinaquillo between about 1000 revolutionists under the command of Generals Mendoza, Batal- Ia and Riera and government troops to the number of about HOO men under General Garrido, minister of war. 1t is impossible to receive news of the progress of this fight, as all lines of communication have been cut. The re suit of this engagement will doubtless have a decided effect upon the fate of the Matos revolution.
 President Castro is still inactive near Ocumare, where he is inspecting the army. General Matos is located at All tagracia de Orituco, about sixty miles southeast of Caracas. Ocumare is about thirty miles southward from Ga racaS.

CONFERENCE AT HARRISBURG.
Mitchell Meets Governor Stone to
 Discuss Strike.

aN ~ A 1 t
 HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 13.--A conference was held at the executive mansion after midnight between Gov ernor Stone, State Senator William Finn and M K McMullin of Pitts burg, President Mitchell and District Presidents Daffy, Fahey and Nichols of the United Mine Workers for the purpose of discussing means of set atling the anthracite coal strike.
 Senator Film, aside from his political prominence in Pennsylvania, is one of the largest individual employers of la Dor, and he has never had strike. MT. McMullin is at the head of the American Window Glass company.
 The conference was held at the sug- gestion of the governor, who has de yised a plan by which he hopes to effect settlement between the operators and miners without the necessity of an ex- tra session of the legislature for the en- actment of arbitration legislation
 The governor declined to outline his plan in advance of the conference and none of the other parties to it would make any statement until after they had cohcluded their talk The confer ence did not begin until long after mid night, owing to the late hour at which Mitchell and his associates arrived here from Philadelphia.
 The governor originally arranged for meeting today with Mitchell, but the strike leader had an important engage ment at Wilkesbarre today that must be filled, and he asked that the gov ernor meet him last night, and the ex- ecutive cheerfully complied with his re- quest.
 President Mitchell arrived here at 1:35 a. m. He was immediately driven to the executive mansion in the govern or's private carriage. The miners chief said he did not know what the govern or wanted him for. He was invited here for conference and accepted the invitation. He said he had no proposi- ton to make to Governor Stone or any one else 6 4isi8

Russia's Delay Tn Restoring Mnnchu-

 PEKING, Sept. 13.-The Chinese government is disturbed at the appar- ent determination of Russia to delay the restoration of Manchuria. It claims that Russia promised to evacuate New chwang and return the NManchurian section of the Peking Newchwang rail- road when the Chili section of the line was returned by Great Britain.
 Members of the imperial government are frequently in conference with Paul Lessar, Russian minister to China, and are urging upon him the fulfllment of Russia's promises. The refusal of Rus sia to cooperate in restoring the Brit ish section of the Picking Newchwang railroad is delaying the return of the British section of the line.
