RO0SEvELT'S TALK
Talked Plainly at Conference
 Held To-Day.
HE HAS NO RIGHT OR DUTY

ToIntervene Between Strikers and Op-
 erators-The Existing Conditions,
 However, Compel Him to Use His
 Influence to Stop the Strike-He Ap-
 pealed Earnestly to Those Interested
 to Call the Strike Off and Resume
 Business.
 Washington, Oct 3.-At lilo this morning all those who had been in vited to conference to-day with the president in regard to the coal strike were present with the exception of President Olyphant of the Delaware and Hudson, who sent as his delegate David Wilcox, yice-president and gen. eral counsel of the road, and the presi- dent of the Pennsylvania road. Presi- dent Roosevelt did not dely, but at once made the following statement:
 disclaim any right Or duty to in teryene in this way upon any legal grounds, or upon any official relations that 1 bear to the situation, but the urgency and the terrible nature of the catastrophe impending over large portion of our people in the shape of winter fuel famine, impel me after
 
 my duty requires me to use whatever Influence 1 personally have to bring to an end this situation, which has become literally intolerable. I wish to em- phasize the character of the situation and to say that it's gravity is such that l am constrained urgently to insist that each one of you realize the heavy burden of responsibility upon him.
 We are upon the threshold of win ter. with an already existing coal fam inc, the future terrors of which we can hardly yet appreciate. The evil possi- bilities are so far reaching, so appall. ing, that it seems to me that you are not only justified ill sinking but re- Quired to sink for the time being any tenacity as to your respective claims in the matter at issue between you. In my judgment the situation imperative ly requires that you meet upon the common plane of the necessities of the public. With all the earnestness there is in me ask that there be an imme- diate resumption of operations in the coal mines, in some such way as will, without days unnecessary delay, meet the crying needs of the people. do not invite a discussion of your re- Spective claims and position. I appeal to your patriotism, to the spirit that sinks personal considerations and makes inalvidual sacrifices for the gen. eral good.' .~
 When the president concluded the, operators left the room and went to lower room in the White House. They had been there but few minutes when they left the White House. They re- fused to say anything except that they were coming back at 3 o'clock for an- other conference. President Baer was asked by some newspaper men where he could be seen and he replied: Gen tlemen, We are trying to get just where we can confer and where you cannot see us"
 President Roosevelt said to the op- orators that he hoped when they met again that some proposition might be made which would furnish the basis of an adjustment of the difficulty.

WoRKINGMAN AND CHURCH.
Rev MT Guild Explains Why They Do
 Not Attend.

Not Attend.
 Chicago, Oct 3.-The reasons why the workingmen do not belong to the church were related in symposium of letters sent from members of Chi cago labor unions and read by the Rev Roy B. Guild at a meeting of the fed erated churches of the west side last night. The opinions of the union men were classified by MT Guild into seven teed heads ranging from criticisms on the alleged prevailing atmosphere to be found in the house of worship to the personal desire of the workingmen to spend the day in their own manner.
 The Rev MT Guild found, however, that the non-attendance of the work man, as general thing, is not from absence of religious feeling. In his letter of inquiry he asked the writers opinion of Jesus Christ, and the ma jority of replies indicated a deep lying spirit of reverence. Only one answer contained any signs of disrespect, and many said that Christ represented pure type of union man. Several crit icised the modern sermon, and said that the gospel was presented in an indigestible manner.

EXTREME TURKISH MEASURES
May Exasperate the Villagers and
 NeutralS.

Constantinople, Oct 3.-The insurrec- tionary movement in Macedonia does not appear to have spread to any seri- ous extent, although it is feared in some quarters that the Turkish meas ures for it's suppression may exasperate the villagers and cause neutrals to join the revolutionists.
 The Macedonian committees efforts to support the plans of it's president, General Tzontcheff, for a general re- volt are handicapped by the hostility of the adherents of Sarafoff, the former president, who refuse all assistance to the new leader.
 According to news from Bulgarian sources upwards of five hundred Bull garians were recently imprisoned in the Monastir district.
 Numerous arrests of Albanians were made at, Constantinop1e, as q pre- caution, during the visit of Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia.

Judge Carter Says He Can Not Become
 Citizen of United States.

Chicago, Oct 3.-After vainly search ing for some legal precedent that would justify a different decision Judge Carter has refused to grant naturaliza- tion papers to Lee Guy Dean, 3 Japan csc, who made application with a view to becoming citizen of the United States.
 .The statute on naturalization" said Judge Carter, '.reads that any free white man, or any native of Africa, or any alien of African descent may be lialuralized, but that does not apply to Ilongolians, and 3 Japanese is surely Mongolian.'
 The only decision bearing directly on the case which Judge Carter could find was one made by Massachusetts court, and that was to the effect that all application from such source could not be granted.

BLOOD AND IRON.

You could not live an hour without iron in your blood.
 You could not get the benefit of one breath of air without this same iron.
 The blood runs the circuit of the body every three minutes, and when 1t reaches the lungs each atom of iron takes two atoms of oxygen back with it to keep the fires of life going. This oxygen destroys waste matter and helps to restore your wasted tissues.
 If your blood lacks iron. you lack that much of life; you fail that much to keep is, you get run down and sick. This &C., counts for the life-giving properties of Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic. 1t supplies iron and to do that is to restore the full body building power to the blood. This iron has a peculiar 1ife-quickening function vitality goes down whenever any propor- ton of the iron is lacking. Vigor and strength return just as surely when this element is restored.
 Dr. Harter's Iron Tonic helps sick or tired-out people quickest because 1t con- tai1s the particular blood-making and strength giving form of iron that the system needs. This remedy purifes and enriches the blood, 1t increases the ac- tivity of the stomach. liver and kidneys. It overcomes nervousness and builds up vitality and strength. It agrees with the most delicate and deserves your confi- dence because 1t has been doing all these things for forty-five years. Prepared only by The Dr. Harter Medicine Co.,. Dayton, Ohio.
