tion with the city. garbage contract, being

torneys looked for and found Butler still
in his room at. the hotel. Shortly after
Butler appeared in court.
Judge, Chester Krum, for the defense.

ments while awaiting the grand jurors sum
moned for this term OF court. After charg-
ing this body the, Butler case was resumed
and Circuit Attorney Folk began his ad-
dress against the, demurrer,
1.-THE states position" said Mr.. Folk, sis,
first. that the work of garbage reduction
is not public Gork in the sense that is
meant in the statute concerning the pow
ers of the Board of Public improvements;
second, the state holds that one charged
with bribery of an official cannot defend
himself on the ground of lack OF authority
on the part Of that official. II the official
was good enough for the defendant to tempt
by dangling a bride before his eyes. he is
good enough to answer the requirements
of law as a witness on this charge"
At noon court took a recess.
In closing his argument Attorney Folk
said:
II a man offers a bride to a public officer
he must be prosecuted, whether he Is
Edward Butler or some humber man.

THINKS END OF STRIKE NEAR
Secretary of Navy Moody Speaks
Hopefully of the Coal Mine
situation.

Yes, il / were to venture an opinion on
the subject l should say that the end of the
anthracite coal mine strike has been
brought very near us by the transactions
at Washington Monday, Of which we
gratefully learned in the morning press re-
ports,'' said Secretary of the Navy Moody
yesterday afternoon. II have no definite in
formation on the matter, in fact, all l know
is what / have read in the papers. but from
the way it looks now l believe the terrible
struggle that has cost SO dearly is about
over"
Secretary Moody is one OF the three law
yers Of the cabinet (Secretary Root and
Attorney General Knox being the other twol
whom the president called in for conference
when he first determined to take action to-
ward settling the coal mine strike, and he
therefore has been more than ordinarily
interested in this matter all along. Contin-
uing his remarks upon the subject he said:
President Roosevelts earnestness and
sincerity in this matter. l am g~rati1ed to
learn, are correctly understood and thor
oughly appreciated In the west as far as ]
have gone as they are in the east. / feel
sure the people all over the country will
applaud his efforts and the motives behind
them.
You ask il President Mitchell will ac-
cept the terms tentatively agreed to by the
operators Yes, as I have already said, II

many seem to think. demand a formal rec
o~gnition of the miners union as one of the
essential conditions of peace. He did ash
that-and he still asks-that the Mine
Workers Union Of America shall be deal
with as a body in effecting a settlement Of
this strike. and that seems to have beer
at last agreed t. by the operators. All this

named in his first proposition 1 should re.

Coming to the Philippine question Secre-

possessions acquired under that treaty. But
even there we have made. all the progress
that we should. Our enemies told you and
us that we never could crush the rebellion

same time the impression is general that
Mr.. Roosevelt In continuation OF his de-
termination to bring about the resumption
of work, has addressed some sort Of COM
munication to Mr.. Mitchell in connection
with the operators proposition and that a
reply from him may come at any time. In
deed, It would not be surprising II Mr..
Mitchell has been invited to come and talk
over the situation.
Secretary Root was again at the White
House. for an hour this afternoon.
TIL president has agreed to appoint tho
commission suggested by the coal operators,
provided such a commission should prove
satisfactory to the miners.
The feeling at the White House is OPP
timistic. The belief is general among
official and civilian callers that a long
step has been taken toward a final settle
ment of the strike. Until Mr.. Mitchell
makes his reply no further action on the
part of the president is expected.
1t developed today that the main features
of the operators proposition were dis
cussed and in a general way agreed to at
