pendent operators committee has re-
turned from New York. I'VE have
won our point" said DR.. ]. N. Rice
1--WE are ready to show the public we
are paying all the wages our business
warrants, and that an agreement with
Mitchell's organization is undesirable,
because of its un-American ideas. The
big companies have come to our way
of thinking, and a settlement out of
court is no longer possibility"
Other members of the committee
spoke in similar strain.
The Protest.
New York, Nov. 26-The statement
from the Independent operators, pro-
testing against a settlement of the diff
ficulties in the anthracite region, says:
81. We believe that such a settle.
ment at this time and upon the basis
suggested would forever establish the
power and perpetuate the injustice
perpetrated by the United Mine Work
ers.
"2. That such settlement would be
in the eyes of the public confession
that We have heretofore been guilty
of all the offenses charged against us
by the said mine workers.
Think Concession Too Great.
SO. That We have and believe that
you have such perfect and complete
defense to the allegations made by the
compliments before the commission
that any money award the commission
would render would be far less than
the amount We understand that it is
proposed to concede, especially to the
miners and their laborers
"a. That aside from any money con-
siderations this commission, COM
posed as We believe of men that are
absolutely fair, unbiased and of unus-
ual experience and good Judgment in
their findings will make such declara-
ton as will for many years put ban
upon unlawful practices, oppression of
ncn-union men, unjustifiable demands
and other grievances that we have
been suffering under since 1900, when
the union first took possession Of our
property. If, on the other hand, this
settlement be made now when not a
single witness has been called on our
part or on your behalf it will be an abb
solute and distinct surrender to the
miners union and the troubles above
referred to will not only be continued
but so magnified as to be absolutely
unbearable.
Claim Miners Are Beaten.
"The hearings before the anthracite
coal strike commission present the
first opportunity the coal operators
have ever had of presenting their case
before the general, public, who are
really an important third party, since
abstracts at least of these proceed
ings are published all over the United
States and it duty that we owe
to ourselves as we'll as to them to
prove that the continued and repeated
charges Of injustice, barbarity and
extortion are absolutely unfounded.
all of which the individual operators
at least propose to do.
"The case as presented already
shows such weakness that we believe
they were almost disheartened when
these suggestions for a compromise
were made. We believe that any sur
render on our part, which would be
practically what this compromise
would amount to, would be by far the
most serious mistake ever made in
the anthracite coal business.

was a pet on the Missouri farm, came
to it's old master and extended its fore

them at once, and willingly turned the
horses over to Mr.. Thorne descrip-

CONFESSED INCENDIARIsM.

It is not probable that the negro, Walter Clement. who was arrested in Memphis on several cases of arson there, and who has made full con- fession, owning also to the destruction of Col. E. w. Rector's residence at Hot Springs, September 24, of this year, will be brought to Arkansas un- til after he has served his sentence or perhaps not at all, if he is declared in- sane, which seems probable. The ne- gro was arrested by City Detectives Buttighaus and Price of the Memphis police while detailed to find the fire- bug in several cases where incen- diarism was certain. He was finally induced to confess by having on his person articles belonging to the Rec tor family, one of them having Col. Rector's address in Hot Springs. This led to investigation and when the negro was confronted with the evil dence broke down and told all.

MUST NEVER DRINK
 TO REMAIN PARDONED.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 12.-Gov. Jefferson Davis has issued a pardon to Charles Cravens, who was convict ed in the Conway county Circuit Court at the October term of the unlawful sale of whisky in several cases, since which time he has been incarcerated in the Morrilton jail. He had pre- viously been convicted in the Federal Court and fined $1OO for the same of fense.
 The following conditions were noted on the pardon granted to Cravens: "Pardon granted on condition that the defendant abstain from the sale of intoxicating liquors and from the use thereof, and if he be again found either selling or drinking the same, this pardon shall be of no effect, and the sheriff of Conway county shall immediately execute the judgment of the court in these cases"

WINNIE LADS PECULIAR DEATH

< Wynne, Ark, December 12.- Sam Davidson, the 10-year- old son of w. H. Davidson, farmer living a mile east of this town, met death in pe- 'culiar manner yesterday.
 While waiting for his mother to pre- pare his breakfast the little fellow strayed into his fathers ginhouse. A thousand pounds of cotton-seed was stored in the mill, and the boy began playing about it. He dug deep hole in the seed and was climbing to the top of the pile to slide down into the aperture when he lost his balance and fell head foremost into the opening
 His father called him for breakfast a few minutes later, but receiving no answer went into the ginhouse to look for him. He saw the boys feet stick ing out from the top of the pile of cot tonseed and on pulling his son out found that his neck had been broken. Physicians were called in at once, but there was no sign of life left in the body.

pENITENTIARY BOARD
 HAS QUIET MEETING.


 The penitentiary board held quiet
 and harmonious session in the office of
 Auditor Monroe Friday says the Lit
 tie Rock Gazette. Four members
 were present Attorney General Mur- phy, Secretary of State Crockett, Auditor Monroe and Commissioner Bradford. Gov. Davis went to Carlisle yesterday, it is understood, to hunt quail. He is expected to return to- day.
 The only decision of importance made by the board was the selection of the appraisers of the penitentiary property which is required by law every two years. The gentlemen chosen for the duty are H. T. Hawkins |of Columbia county and T. B. Mays of Johnson county. They will begin on their work at once, reporting for duty next Tuesday.
 The greater part of the session was devoted to an informal discussion of the penitentiary affairs and the new state farm, which has proved point of contention between the governor and the other members. All the de- tails of the occupation and manage ment of the farm will be left entirely with Superintendent Rees B. Hogins, who has, of course, the assistance and advice of his under officers in the
 management of the penitentiary A report will be made to the next meet ing of the board to be approved by
 the body. The regular meeting days
 are the first and third Fridays of each
 month. The meeting yesterday was
 an adjourned session, and thus the
 next meeting falls on Friday of next
 week.
 Y The board was informed of and ap-
 proved the sending of fifty convicts,
 with mules, etc, to the farm in Lin-
 coin county.
