WILL HASTEN STRIKES END.
Miners to Be Shown That Operators
 Will Not Budge.


 Scranton, Pa, Oct. 2.-Sentiment among the representatives of the coal operators bere has undergone a change since yes- 'terday regarding the action of President Roosevelt in assuming the role of an in- termediary to settle the strike. Yester- day they said the only effect of the residents action would be to put off the surrender of the miners as many days as the were in the interim between the first announcement of his intention to mediate and the announcement of the result-or rather lack of result-of the conference.
 Today these same men say the White House conference will hasten the end of the strike; that it will show the miners that no third party not even the Presi- dent of the United States can budge the operators from their position. and that once this is released the strikers will weaken.
 A prominent individual coal operator said today that he stood ready to guaran- tee that the operators would agree to a siding scale basis of pay comprehending a 2 per cent raise for every 10 cents ad- vance on coal above A.50 f. o. b., the present selling price if the miners union would agree to put up the bonds to in- demnify the operators for damages re- sulting from strikes caused by the dls- charge of men for causes other than con- necting with the union.

 Stolen Cadavers.

Indianapolis Ind, Oct. 2.-Another step was taken this afternoon in the grave rob- bery sensation when affidavits were filed by Prosecutor Collins against the dem- constructors of anatomy in the different medical colleges in the city, charging them with failing to keep complete record of all bodies purchased for dis secting purposes.

 Accompanied by Rufus Cantrell and Walter Daniels. two of the negroes ar rested for robbtng graves. Detectives Asch and Manning today spent four hours in a search for the stolen bodies.

NEGROES MAKE PLEA.
Seek to Arouse Public Sentiment
 Against Lynchings.

Albany, N. Y., Oct. 2.-The National Federation of Civic Knights an associa- ton incorporated under the laws of h. diana, the object of which is the ameliaro- ton of the condition and for the protec- ton of the colored race, has issued an appeal to the people of the United States.
 The document was prepared by com mittee headed by Bishop George W. Clin- ton Of North Carolina The address says that in this republic within the last ten years 1.5o0 colored persons have been brutally murdered by mob violence upon the accusation of crime merely, without trial by jury. without any judgment Of a court of competent jurisdiction and in utter disregard of the constitutional rights of accused persons.
 It continues, "All these atrocious mur- ders by hanging, burning and fiiendish mutilation have been openly commits sd within the last decade; without rebuke and without punishment.
 "As late as the month of September, in the year of our Lord 1902, and since this organization was formed. a negro accused of crime has been burned at the stake, pitilessly tortured and roasted to death by men who call themselves Ameri- can citizens. The cruelties of Nero, the massacres of innocent religionists and the brutality of cannibalism as chronicled in history sink into insignificance when contrasted with the wholesale slaughter of the people of the colored race in the republic of Washington. Jefferson and Lincoln.
 "Help the colored race with the might and strength of your individual opinions Invoke for us also the potentate of the public press.
 Bring to our assistance the all-per- vading and controlling authority or the church of Christ. If every Christian de- nomination in the United States, speak ing in the name of the founder of Chris tianIty, would boldly make an authorita- tive declaration against the awful sin or lynching, the cruel and bloody support CTS of the system would speedily be brought to trial and punishment for their crimes.
 "Our appeal is also made to the people of the Jewish church and race. There can be no more fitting time than the present to seek your moral support, for our government is even now appealing to the nations of Europe to protect your race from Roumanian persecution.

President Mitchell to the three anthracite

President Mitchell to the three anthracite districts today:
 There has been placed in my hands indisputable evidence of an attempt on the part of the operators to create dis ccrd among our non-English speaking members through the circulation of pam phlets containing malicious and dastardly attacks upon the officers of the organ ization and by an effort to arouse race prejudices. These circulars will be print ed in all the foreign languages and will be signed by a person designating him. self "A Friend Immediately notify all district and local officers to be on their guard. It is especially important that cur non-English speaking brothers be informed of this conspiracy.

 T believe a special session of Congress should be called to make a law allow ing coal to come into this country free of duty from any place.
