THE STORY OF THE POLICE. +,
Sharkey's Ignorance of Fish's Iden-
tity Led to Quarrel.

New York, Sept. 16.-Nicholas Fish,
millionaire, diplomat and descendant
of one of the best known of American
families, died at the Roosevelt Hospital
at 1926 o'clock this morning, the result
of an injury received in Ehrhardt's sa-
loon, 25 West Thirty-fourth street, yes
terday. Whether he was murdered or
fell, the police have not yet determined.
Conflicting stories, such as would ma
turally follow an event in which crimi-
nal responsibility must be placed, are
told, but there seems to be no doubt
vate detective named Thomas j. Shar-
key, who joined the banker at a table
where he had been for several hours
drinking with Mrs. Libby j. Phillips
and Mrs. Nellie Casey
According to the police Mr.. Fish en-
tered Ehrhardt's saloon yesterday aft
ernoon with Mrs. Phillips and Mrs.
Casey. The police say that Mrs. Phil
lips knew who Fish was, but that
neither Mrs. Casey nor Sharkey, who
subsequently Joined the party, were
aware of his identity. Sharkey, who
knew the women, was not reluctant to
join the party when one of the women
invited him to. The police say that
Fish did most of the buying. Fish then
discovered that his money was ex-
hausted, and he announced THAI he
would have to draw a. check. Shar-
key, ignorant of Fish's identity, ques-
toned his ability to make his check
good. Fish, it is said took
offense at this and angry words en-
sued. Then, according to the police,
someone slapped Fish's face. One OF
the women, clinging to Fish's arm.
dragged him toward the door of the
saloon and out to the sidewalk The
police say that Sharkey attempted to
follow Fish. but for a moment was re-
strained from doing so by the other
woman He finally went out of the sa-
Icon and he and Fish encountered each
other on the sidewalk. Sharkey's hat
had been knocked off and he was
bareheaded. There was scuffie. by

MILLIONAIRE AND DIPLOMAT.
FELL IN UGLY ROW WITH PRI-
VATE DETECTIVE.

Scion of Noted Family Meets Death
Under DisgracefuI Circumstances.
Trouble Occurred in Saloon where
Fish Was Drinking With Two WO-
men and Sharkey-His Death
Caused by Paralysis of Brain Due
Either to Blow of Sharkey or Fan
on Sidewalk.
New York, Sept. 16.-The .leath of
Nicholas Fish, as the result of quar-
rel in d saloon, and the arrest of
Thomas j. SEarkey, private detective,
on the charge of homicide in tina. con-
nection, has been the subject cf close
police investigation and conjecture all
day.
Mr.. Fish was the head of one of the
most distinguished families in the
country, a banker of great wealth, and
one time minister at the court of Bel
GUM. He died at the Roosevelt Hos
pital from the effects of his injuries re-
ceived during an alteration with a
stranger in Ehnhardt's saloon. at the
corner of Eighth avenue and Thirty
fourth street. According to informa-
ton gathered by the police, Mr.. Fish's
death was due to a blow struck by
Thomas ]. Sharkey, a private detec-
tive, who. with Mrs. Phillips and Mrs.
Casey, who were present at the time,
was arrested after the death.
A policeman found Mr.. Fish lying
unconscious on the sidewalk in front
of the saloon and summoned an ambu-
lance, in which he was taken to the
Roosevelt Hospital, where his identity
was revealed by papers found in his
possession. A dispatch was sent to
Mrs. Fish, who was at Tuxedo, and
who reached the hospital soon after
midnight, remaining at the side of her
husband, who never regained con-
sciousness.
AS soon as the fact of Mr.. Fish's
identity was established a dozen detec-
tives were set on the trail of his COM
panions, and before daylight they were
traced to the house in which the
women lived and were arrest
ed. After being arraigned in the
police court, they were brought before
Coroner Jackson, who. after prelim-
mary inquiry held Sharkey in $4,000
bail on the charge of homicide, and the
women as witnesses. Detective Trojan,
who made the arrest. declared in an
affidavit that Sharkey admitted to him
that he struck Mr.. Fish. Both the wo-
men made sworn statements, but these
District Attorney Jerome has refused
to make public.
The inquest will be held Friday.
Mrs. Fish. who was completely
Frustrated, remained at the hospital all
night and this morning went to her
home in Irving Place accompanied by
her brothers-in-law, Hamilton Fish
and Stuyvesant Fish.
After the autopsy, Mr.. Fishis body
was removed to the house. The funeral
will be held tomorrow in ST. Marks
Church in Second avenue. The burial
will be in the family plot at Garrison,

Bizerta, Tunis, Sept. 16.-M. Peiletan,
the French minister of marine, made
remarkable speech, at an entertain
ment of the municipality yesterday
evening, which it is expected will
cause the French foreign minister, NJ
Delcasse, some trouble to explain. Aft
zerta as a bulwark of France, M. Pei
letan proceeded:
We do not say We want to make
the Mediterranean a French lake. We
have been cured of the dreams of the
great man who wishes us to dominate
the world. But part of the Mediter-
ranean is French and will remain
French. With this powerful rampant
so well situated for defense and also
for attack, and with Corsica and Tou-
Ion, we can hold the open door between
the two halves of the Mediterranean,
in spite of Malta and Gibraltar.
Certainly do not desire
a conflict of peoples against England
any more than against italy, but as we
do not know what others are doing,
1t is part of our duty to prepare for
the holy war, for the French fatherland
against its enemies, whoever they may
be. am convinced, thanks to the fell
low workers with whom / am sur
rounded, that we can face every even
tuality Security hardly exists any
more for the civilized world. AT the
end of the nineteenth century, after
the defeat of France by the barbarlsm
of Old Germany, we saw an offensive
return of the law of brute force. The
whole world seemed to be dominated
by the maxim. Might before right. We
must, then, devote all our efforts to
keeping that focus of justice and tight
French genius"
M. Pelletan concluded with remark

toned to being a minister, and feared
he might be carried away into express

CONFERENCE AT OYSTER BAY.
Republican Leaders Endorse Presi-
dents Position as TO Trusts and
Reciprocity-To BE No Tariff Re-
vision at Next Session.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Sept. 16.--Senators
Hanna. Allison, Aldrich, Spooner and
Lodge. and Postmaster General Payne
spent several hours with President
Roosevelt to-day and discussed with
him the entire political situation, hav-
ing special reference to the conditions
in the Western states, which the Pres
ident is to visit on his approaching
trip. The parties to the conference
were very reticent after they returned
from the Presidents home, but it is
stated that it was decided to make no
attempt to revise the tariff at the COM
ing session of Congress; that the Pres
ident is to maintain his position as TO
the trusts, and further that he is to
insist on his demand for reciprocity
with Cuba. 1t is understood that he
will fully outline his policy regarding
this latter question in some of the
speeches he is to make on his Western
trip.
It also can be stated on excellent au-
thority that the coal strike was not
discussed.
President Roosevelt's purpose in
having this conference was to ascer-
tain if there had been any marked po-
litical changes in the different sections
of the country during the past year.
The conference to-day, it is said, show
ed that there had been none.
1.-The conference was entirely harmo-

and the Presidents position on the diff
ferent questions discussed was in
dorsed We talked over the entire po-
litical situation, especially that in the
states through which Mr.. Roosevelt is
to pass. The coal strike was not talk
ed about"
The Associated Press bulletin from
Dubuque, Iowa, announcing THAI
Speaker Henderson had declined to be
a candidate for reelection for Con-
gress was the first intimation of that
fact any of the Presidents senatorial
callers had received. They had moth
ing to say on the subject.

COAL KINGS CONFER
NO CONCESSIONS TO MINERS STILL
THEIR SLOGAN.
THEY ARE UNITED ON THIS.
MINE LEADERS ALSO HELD SECRET
CONFERENCE.

Only Way to End Strike Is for Men
to Return to Work, Said Operator
Marl<le After Conference with j.
p. Morsnn-AII Outside Interfer-
ence Is FutiIe-President Gompers
of Federation of Labor Attended
Miners Conference. but Those
Present Would Not Discuss Its Ac-
ton.
New York, Sept. ia conference of
the leading anthracite coal in
terests was held this afternoon
at the Philadelphia and Read
ing Company's offices. Those pres
ent included President Baer of the
Reading road; President Truesdale of
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern; President Underwood of the Erie;
President Fowler of the New York, On
tario and Western; President Walters
of the Lehigh Valley; President Oily
plant of the Delaware and Hudson;
Manager Besler of the Central Rail-
road of New Jersey; Irving Stearns of
Coke Bros. & Co., and John Markle of
G. B. Markle e. Co. The two last
named represented the Independent OPP
Grating interests of the hard-coal in
dustry.
The precise subjects of the confer
ence could not be learned, but it was
stated in advance of the meeting that
no concessions would be granted, and
that recent events of a semi-political
character would not be considered
Following a meeting with j. p. Nor
gan, John Markle made this statement:
Il do not think 1T necessary to repeat
that all talk of concessions on the part
of the operators is foolish and certain
ly without foundation. Our position now
is the same as when Mitchell made his
original propositions and no different
than when the strike began.
1--WE said then that we would make
no concessions and we repeat it now.
There is no reason why this should not
be understood. The operators have
shown that they mean 1t. and 1 repeat
1T only by way of emphasis.
There is just one way to end the
strike. by the men returning to work,
and every day they remain away by
giving willing ear to MitchelFs specious
promises will only entail further loss
and suffering to them. Conditions are
| improving udllys more men are .fEIQfIl-
ing to work and more coal is being
mined.
80 far as recent attempts at settle
ment are concerned 1t is only necessary
to add that every effort from Senator
Hanna's down has ben futile We have
defined our position and will maintain
It,"
Markle left the meeting and went to
~. p. Morgan's office, where he met p
A. B. Widener The meeting in Presl-
dent Baer's office concluded at a few
minutes before O'Clock. President
Underwood of the Erie, as he was leav-
ing, said that the meeting had merely
been one of the directors of the Temple
Iron Company and that only routine
matters were considered. The Tenn
pie Iron Company is the selling COM
pany for the coal carrying roads and
the presidents of the leading coal car
rying roads are the directors of the
Temple Iron Company, which has
capital of $2,5OO,000.
