How the President and John Mitch
ell Got Together.


ell Got Together.
WASHINGTON October 1.-THE great
est satisfaction Is expressed here in OIL
cial circles over the success Of the neSo-
tiations for the settlement of the coal
strike The President himself feels deeply
grateful for the outcome He regards II
as honorable to both sides, as securing
Justice to both sides, and above all as
ayerring a terrible calamity to the peo-
pie.
It is understood that for some time past
the President has had steadily ir
view that fact that the only
way a settlement could be arrived at
was on the basis OF a commission of ar
bitration, and that he has given much time
and earnest thought to the personnel OF
such a commission. Suggestions have
been welcomed from all interested and
non-interested sources, and when Nh
Mitchell made his appearance at the White
House yesterday morning, the President
was prepared to submit to him number

he was heartily supported by the Presi-
dent himself. 1t is understood that Bish-

dents personal choice for a place on the
commission. and his selection was particu-
larly pleasing to Mr.. Mitchell. as ne knew
the bishop intimately and has the utmost
confidence in his ability and fair minded
ness.
Mitchell Suggested Mr.. Clark.

undoubtedly at the suggestion of Mr..
Mitchell himself. Mr.. Clark. whose home
is in Cedar Rapids, Ia. is the grand chief
conductor of the Railway Conductors. and
has the reputation of being man of un-
questioned ability and integrity. Six years
ago Mr.. Clark served as one of the arbi-
traitors in controversy between the
Grand Trunk railway and some of it's EN-
ployees. and is said to have acquitted him
self in way most satisfactory to all In
terests concerned. Mr.. Clark Is at pres
ent the chairman of the Railway En-
ployees' Federation. The statement Is
made on high authority that as constitute
cd the personnel OF the commission is
emineutly satisfactory. both TO the oper-
ators and to tha labor leaders.
Work OF the Commission.
The work of the commission will be ex-
baustive and win take considerable time.
It is the Presidents desire that the in

mission perfom the lehors set before It so
as to secure not only dnaI adj
justment of the present troubles. but also
to furnish a basis upon which similar
great labor troubles may be averted in the

The George Favcett Company OPENS
q Three-Dny Engagement.
The George Fawcett Company opened a
three-day engagement at the Bijou last
evening to an audience that filled the
theatre from pit to dome, presenting Sar-
deu' s 'Theodora." The play is one that
viii please lovers Of the drama of the
higher class. The applause last evening
was not as generous as that which mark
ed productions presented more recently.
though itzw was more deserved than that
which has been bestowed on "drammers''
at the same theatre during the past two
months.
Miss Mary Shaw. an actress of ability.
new to the theatre-going public of this
city, had the leading role, which suited
her talents admirably.
The play Is one In which Fanny. Dayen-
port made herself famous, Miss Shaw,s
rendition Of the lines was received with
favor by the audience. Tho cast Is good
and capable throughout. Mr.. George

lovers of good sport will witness on
that day some OF the very best races
that have ever been run on Hawaiian
soil. From the very first day the
horses we're taken to the track, until

II Is just three days short of three
weeks before the big races and more
and more interest Is being taken daily
by the men who love to see fast horses
on the track. The consequence Is that
the attendance at the park during the
forenoon when the horses are worked
out, is gradually increasing until there
will be veritable grand stand full OF
interested ones.
There was a crowd larger than usua
at the track yesterday morning. It had
been learned that John Ouderkirk in.

to see him perform this well-nigh i'm.
