DAVIS BOYS BIG CONCERT
Sunday Nights Event Will In
crease Fund to Aid Strik-
ing Miners.

The entertainment and executive COM
mittees of the Robert Davis Association
are working hard planning for the sacred
concert which viii be given at the Bijou
Theatre next Sunday evening for the
benefit of the families of the striking
miners.
The programme promises to be very
entertaining. The sale of tickets is brisk
and big audience is expected.
The association has sent out letters
to people offering opportunities to buy
tickets for the concert, which reads in
part as follows:-
"We trust you can find it convenient
to attend, and by your presence lend both
financial and moral aid to those men.
who are fighting for the right to live
in condition that is not absolute serf-
DOM
1--WE believe these men to be right in
their contention that the only chance
they have to live, as American citizens
should, lies in their organization, with
out which they would be reduced to
condition far worse than slavery. The
few men who shape the policies of this
giant monopoly also believe this to be
true, and if they can now succeed in
their plan to break the union. the last
obstacle to complete control of both the
miners and the consumers will have been
overcome.
AS to the justice of their claims, ac-
tions speak louder than words. In an
swer to the appeal of President Roose-
welt, the men, through their able Presi-
dent, without any hesitation, agreed to
submit their grievances to arbitration,
by a committee selected by President
eRosevelt, and in whose selection they
would have no voice. On the other hand
the reply of the operators was an abso-
lutte refusel to agree to any such plan
and an insolent demand that the Presi-
dent send Federal troops to the coal
fields and they would mine coal.
Rather than submit to a fair and
impartial judgment on the case, they
would ineite bloodshed and murder The
sacrifice of human lives, the making of
few thousand widows and orphans
would not matter to them if they could
succeed in breaking the Miners Union"
The Association requests that returns
for the tickets be remitted to Robert
Davis, chairman, not later than Satur-
day. The tickets are 81. An extra
charge of % and so cents will be made
for reserved seats.

Police Commissioners Hav-
ing Trouble Over Bills
for the Defunct Dis
pensaries.
DR.. M'GIIL'S VIEWS
Scheme Was Only a Political
Move and Never Really
Benefited the Poor.

The Board of Police Commissioners
open session of the Board does not prom
ise any sensations, as has been the rule
at the past few meetings, the executive
session will undoubtedly be the scene of
a heated argument on the question of the
passage OF the bills incurred by the es-
tablishment of free dispensaries in var
ious drug stores throughout the city.
At the last meeting of the board bills
We're presented from the doctors and
druggists employed to attend patients,
and at whose stores the dispensaries were
located. These bills Doctor McGill posi-
lively refused 70 pass favorably and will
not do SO at any rsacting to come.
DIR. McGILL'S GBJEITIONS.
In an interview this morning Doctor
McGill said:-
.-The establishment of dispensaries
throughout the city in drug stores was
political dodge from start to finish, put
up by the man on the second food of this
building (the Doctor was passing the
City Hall at the time) positively re-
fuse to be used as satspaw to success
fully terminate g project in the creation
of which | was not consulted. / was
not asked for advice in any way in re-
gard to the establishment of these dis
pensaries, although I am a member of
the Board of Police Commissioners and q
practical physician to boot
THE doctors in the city look upon the
whole affair with derision. There was
no saving to the poor as far as under
stand; they paid practically the same
prices for medicines as they would have
had they gone to the druggist with a
prescription from their private physician.
The bills may be passed but they never
will be with my sanction"
DISPENSARIES CLOSED.
The dispensaries have been closed
since the first of September and a great
deal of relief has been felt by the drug
gists at whose stores they were located.
as the added revenue gained did not pay
for the undesirable class of people who
filed their shops. Whether or not the
other two Commissioners will vote for
the passage of the bills is not known.

NO OWNER APPEARS

Considerable mystery surrounds the
finding of a scow yesterday afternoon on
the Newark Bay shore near the foot of
Danforth avenue. The boat was about
eighteen feet in length and was filed
with about two tons of nut coal. Some
oystermen came across the scow. 1t had
hoated in with the tide, and was high
and dry on the beach.
The oystermen were beside themselves
with JOY over the prize and the coal was
quickly distributed among them, regard
less of who was the owner. The fisher
men lost no time in transferring the coal
to their boats. Then the scow was aban-

hands on. Ever since the price has been
advancing gang has been stealing coal
from the docks along the shore in New
ark and Elizabeth. The police have been
unable to catch these offenders. The
docks along the New York Bay shore
have been visited by thieves, but not of
late, because a strict watch has been
kept by detectives.
1t is the opinion of the police that the
owner of the scow, after stealing the coal
had fallen overheard and was drowned.
A search has been made along the shores
for the body. Up to noon today mons
had been found
AN OLD SCOW.
In the scow was an old oar. This the
owner had used to scull with. a small
coal chute was found showing the coal
had doubtless been lowered into the
seow from some dock.
The police have no idea who was the
owner of the scow. The boat is an old
one and looks as though it had been useI
to carry coal for long time.

REPUBLICAN FIGHT
 GROWS HOT. IN TEXAS
HAWLEY AND LYoNDS FACTIONS BATTLING FOR CONTROL OF NEXT STATE coMMITTEE-coN- VENTIoN CAN'T MEET.

Fort Worth, Tex, September 9.-A strong fight is on between the Hawley and Lyons factions for control of the next state committee. The republican convention which was scheduled to meet here at high noon today has not assem- bled and at a late hour tonight 1t looks as if the gathering will not occur until tomorrow.
 The delay is due to spirited contests from nearly every district in Texas and committee work along this line has occu- pied the entire afternoon, and several hours tonight. National Committeeman R. B. Hawley and his supporters claim that he will have enough votes to elect him state chairman, while the friends of Cecil Lyonds, who is making an active fight for the chairmanship, assert that the national administration would be pleased to see their man win the prize.
 One of the features of the day was the avowed candidacy of E. H. R. Green for the chairmanship. It has been gen. his best efforts in the interest of flaw ley. There are many anti-local optionist delegates and 1t is announced that they will make 9 strong fight for plank in the platform in accordance with their views. They claim that with such a plank the party can make great inroads in the unusual democratic majorities in several counties in the state<
