Cincinnati, Aug. 1.-THE fight between

American Federation of Labor.

GLADYS DEACON TO WE'D
Her Mother Denies Her Infat-
uatiOn for the Prince.

Paris. Aug. 14.-AIrs. Deacon, the
mother of Miss Gladys Deacon, sent a
lawyer today to the office of LIE Matin,
threatening legal proceedings. She said
that Gladys is engaged to be married
six months hence, and that the story of
her romance with the crown prince of
Germany was not true.
LIE Matin declares the German emper-
or same time ago heard that the
duchess of Marlborough and Miss Gla-
lin, and Immediately sent an aid-de-
camp to the frontier with a letter ad-
dressed to the duchess, the salient
point of the letter being: II don't want
adventuresses in my empire"
On learning of the existence of such a
letter, so LIE Matin states, the Duchess
of Marlborough was furious, and de-
clared, MY family is as good as the
Hohenzollerns."
ACCOUNTS DIsCREDITED.
Berlin, Aug. 14.-In Berlin political
and society circles nothing but derision
is expressed for the story about the
crown princes infatuation for Miss
Gladys Deacon, the American girl Even
the socialist press, which usually avails
itself of every opportunity to exploit the
foibles of royalty, dismisses these re-
ports as too ridiculous for comment.
The editor of the Norddeutsche Alfge-
meme Zeitung, a semiofficial organ.
states that the kaiser and the imperial
family will take no notice of the pre-
posterous fable. They suppose that the
story originated in Miss Deacon's mis-
conception of purely social civi1ities for
courtship.
People are saying that the apparent
avidity with which the American news
papers have circulated these reports is
calculated to make the kaiser regret
the shower of decorations he scattered
over the United States, as well as his
compliments to the American press.

numerous balls they had attended in
their wanderings and told of many
courtships with impressionable village
lnafdens, and the memoranda as whole
disclosed the fact that they had been
leading life that was fast and gay.
Huffman and McDonough refuse to
divulge the secrets of their travels, and
McDonaugh in particular is discreetly
silent. Their diary, which throws some
light on their doings abroad, is guarded
and covert. Huffman was DESTROYS of
keeping from his parents any informa-
ton of his arrest. He says he would
rather go to prison than allow his father
and mother to learn of his disgrace.

pleaded. Say Pm from Cleveland"
McDonough. however, proposes to wire
his father of his troubles and hopes to
obtain assistance from him. He says
mis- father is a real estate man and also
owns grocery store and hardware
store. Among McDonoughs letters was
one from his mother, in which she init
mates that he stole pair of trousers
from an acquaintance. She urges him
to settle for the wearing apparel.
From the letters written by Mrs. Nc
DonOugh it was ascertained that she
was unaware that her son was travel
ing about the country as an alleged
agent, but believed that he was in the
employ of mining company as a civil
engineer. McDonough admitted that he

TO OPEN ANTHRACITE MINES.
[From the indianapolis News

ltrom the Indianapolis Newsl
1t is reported from New York that the
suggestion has been made to President
Roosevelt that the government has
right in the exercise of eminent domain
to seize certain number of anthracite
mines and operate them for the purpose
of taking out all the hard coal required
by the government. This, of course,
would break the strike We suppose
there is no doubt that in case of war
necessity, for example. the government
could seize and operate coal mines for
It's benefit Whether it could do thus
for an ordinary supply of coal is an
other question. Whether it ought to do
thus becomes a very grave part of the
suggestion.
We are easily liable to lose sight of
the binding force of an action 1t would
be all very well from the strikers point
of view to have these insolent monopo-
lists that are causing them and the
country at large needless suffering by
their greed and obstinacy confronted by
the superior power of the government in
an action that would end the strike But

ing were consummated. might not
similar undertaking be urged on other
occasions and so set our feet virtually
in the way of tyranny? How far would
it be from seizing coal mine and OBJ
Grating it to compelling miners to work
whether they would or not? We may
not hastily take extraordinary steps.
The best condition is
Where freedom broadens slowly down
From precedent to precendent.
The course of freedom must be slow
and sure It is tyranny that is erratlc
and sudden. The suggestion hardly
commends itself to sober thought. But
it contains, as it seems to US. the germ
of a suggestion that might safely re-
suit in action; an action that we belleve
in time will be taken. And that is the
assertion of law to compel, as in TINS
instance, these monooolistic mine own
ers to arbitrate their labor differences
A half dozen men control the whole an
thracite supply for 100000 people and
the whole means of transporting that
supply from the coal fields. They ex-
ercise this monopoly in outrageous
treatment of the public and in cruel
treatment of the miners, as witness this
strike. They are doing this in violation
of the laws of Pennsylvania, which for
bid transportation companies to engage
in coal mining. But whether this were
so or not the monopoly of a necessity,
we believe, will result in the passage of
laws in due form to solve the situation.
Everybody's right is superior to any
bodys right. But as a law-abiding
community. we must see to it that we
broaden our freedom slowly.
