Washington, Oct. 1.-The coal

from it, was the subject of a confer.

House during the day, in which the

chusetts participated. Everyone con.
nected with the conference was very
reticent, but it is learned that the pres,
ident is much concerned over the sit.
uation, the near approach of winter
and the great scarcity of fuel. Just
what action can be taken Is not
known. The fact that move has
been made in the Massachusetts cour 8
to have receivers appointed for the
coal companies, was discussed. but the
legal view was that this wae entirely
inadequate and would not Be likely to
relieve the situation. The impression
prevails that one reason for the hui-
ried visit of Secretary Root to- New
York, was for the purpose of discus -. -:
with the leading business men OF tho.
city the situation with q view to bring.
ing the strike to an end.
A second conference was held later
In the afternoon and lasted about an
hour. The coal situation was further
discussed but the participants refused
to make any statement when they
came from the presidents room.
HAS any line of action been taken
that tho administration confidently ex
poets will settle the striker" Postmas

ITO say so now would be premature, u
he replied, as he entered his carriage
The principal subject under consid-
GRAFTON at both conferences was the
power Of the president to interfere in
any way with the coal strike and the
result of the conference thus far is
that no matter how much interested
the administration may be in ending
the strike it does not seem to have any
power to act in the premises.

proposed merger of district secretaryships,
but conceding that the proposition might
be worth trying as an experiment. After a
long debate the plan was defeated.
The mass meeting adopted a motion sub

the presidents OF the three allied societies

WANT A TRUST KILLED
INDEPENDENT ELECTRICAL SUPPLY
DEALERS AFTER A COMBINE"
They Offer to Prove to President
Roosevelt the National AssOeia-
ton Is an Illegal Concern.

CHICAGO, May IA communication
was sent to President Roosevelt to-day by
independent electrical supply dealers speci-
flying charges against the National Electri-
cal Supply Dealers Association and re-
questing that he direct the attorney general
of the United States to seek for evidence
in Chicago preparatory TO prosecution of
the officers and members as parties to an
alleged illegal trust. The men who sign the
statement sent the President an offer to
furnish evidence in support of their
charges. and, if court proceedings are au-
thorized. to appear as witnesses for the
government
The communication charges that officers
of the association have conspired with the
National Electrical Manufacturers Asso-
citation, and. among themselves. to drive
out of business, exterminate and crush out
all Independent electrical supply manu-
facturers and dealers in the United States
Such a conspiracy, IT is claimed. has been
in existence for the last two years, and it's
purpose has been to create an electrical
supply trust contrary TO the statutes Of the
United States. The officers and members of
the supply trust, IL is charged. have black
listed, boycotted and illegally attacked In
dependent supply dealers: they have i'm
posed fines on membership for selling 10
Independent dealers; they have employed
spoilers and spies to destroy trade rivals
they have increased the cost OF electrical
supplies to the public IS TO 100 per cent and
far beyond what the actual value of such
supplies justify; have employed arbitrator
and supervisors and have raised and low
cred prices without regard TO natural con-
ditions
The appeal in conclusion says: 1--WE offer
TO present to you and to the attorney gen
eral of the United States the names of the
officers and members of this trust; reports
of the secret meetings of the same; copies
OF the secret price and instruction lists;
orders to blacklist and boycott and such
other necessary information must con-
vince any court that said officers and mem
bers are not only subject 10 civil prosecu-
ton. but should be indicted and crimnally
prosecuted. -

TOO YOUNG TO WED.
Bohemian Lover Kills Sweetheart and
shoots Self Under Sidewalk.

CHICAGO, May Emil Rossman, aged
nineteen. last night shot his sweetheart
Sophia Batalia, and then shot himself. 1t is
believed he will die. The girl is but seven
teen years of age. She and Rossman came
TO Chicago two months ago from Bohemia
with an aunt of Rossmans. They were
sweethearts in the old country, and the
girl was brought along because Rossman
had threatened TO kill her and himself if
any attempt was made TO separate them.
The opposition to the union was due to the
youth of the pair. Sunday night both of
them were missed, and yesterday the po-
lice were notified. 1t was not till early to-
day that they were found lying side by
side under a sidewalk on the West Side.
The girl was dead with a bullet in her
brain. Rossman was also shot in the head,
but he still breathed family.

There is no other season when good
medicine is so much needed as in the
Spring.
The blood is impure, weak and
impoverished-a condition indicated
by pimples and other eruptions on the
face and body, by deficient vitality,

want of animation.
