that he did not think such a confer

however, looks upon the Detroit plan
as a good one, and stated that he

Washington, Oct. 1.-The president
yesterday took initiative steps to as
certain what, if anything, could be
done by federal authority to settle the
coal strike The result was a conclu-
ion that there was no law warranting
ederal interference in the strike. At
he temporary White House a confer

cers-Attorney General Knox, Secre-
tary Moody and Postmaster General
Payne. Governor Crane, of Massachu-
setts, also was present. These gentle
men met with President Roosevelt first.
and after the subject had been con-
sidered for some time they adjourned

had been accomplished. assuming that
the federal government could inter-

TROUBLE FOR DEVERY
All the Winnings of His Unique
Campaign at Gotham Chal-

EMPIRE STATE DEMOCRACY MEETS
Two Committees Have the Chief Pre-

and Resolutions.

Saratoga, n. Y, Oct. 1.-The state
Democratic convention met yesterday
at 1870 p. m., listened to speech
by the temporary chairman, John b.
Stanchtield, appointed the usual COM
mittees and I'D Journed to this morning
at 10 o'clock. The convention work
then went on before the committees,
those in which was centered the most
interest being the committees on reso-
lutions and credentials. In the
former the Kansas City platform
men were making a fight for reaffirm-
alton of that platform and in the lat
ter the enemies Of William s. Devery
were trying to exclude his delegation
which he won in the Ninth assembly
district in opposition to Sheehan and
Goodwin
Goodwin Men on the Roll.
When the roll was called in conven-
tion Goodwin's delegation was the one
appearing thereon, and when Good
wins name was read there was a vol
ley Of Kisses and in an instant the
convention was in an uproar, Kisses
and cheers alternating. Devery was
all the time on his feet, waving his
hat and shouting for recognition. Amid
the greatest confusion Devery demand
ed that the Goodwin delegates should
not be seated, but the chair announced
that the roll was approved and order
was restored.
In the Resolutions Committee.
In the resolutions committee the
fight began early on the Kansas City
platform. The Liberal Democracy,
with a committee of five, headed by
Robert Baker as chairman. demanded
that ''the Democratic state convention
stand for q reaffirrnation of the Kan
sas City platform as a whole" The
Chicago Kansas City Platform party,
of New York state, through Calvin J.
Reach, demanded the incorporation of
this: "The Democratic party Of the
Empire State recognizes the national
platform of 1900 as the organic law
of the party until it be changed by an
other national convention, and regrets
that it was not ratified by the people at
the polls"
Grady's View of the Platform.
Baker made suggestions for the plat
form. including most of the provisions
in the platform of 1900 that are OBJ
jectionable to the party leaders here.
Senator Grady said that most Of them
were of national import and it would
not be policy to put them in state
platform in an off-year. Both Reach
and Baker were aggressive and want
ed to discuss fully the planks they
urged for the platform and each in
turn was cut off by the gavel. The
Brooklyn Democratic club had a list
of things it wanted in the platform,
including compulsory arbitration"

little or no progress has been made upon it. The Midland Railway wants the work rushed, and they have given the charge of it over to Stewart. MT. Stewart says there is no trouble in handling English labor if you do it after the American methods of paying big wages and of in- sisting that 1t be done your own way.
 The Ghosts of Feudalism Shaken.
 These Westinghouse works arc shaking the ghosts of feudalism They stand up- on the old Traford estate. which has been cut up to make a building site for
 them. The Trafford estate has been in one family fo' q thousand years. It con- sisted of 2.0O0 acres and is known as Trafford Park Ralph Trafford held it at the time of the Norman conquest. and as you stand in the Westinghouse build ings you can plainly see the old ancestral hall, which was erected when Queen Elizabeth Ieigned looking out of the trees. Sir Edmund Trafford was knighted by Henry VI. it may have been because the King thought he had discovered, as he claimed, the secret of the philosopher stone, which would turn everything it touched into gold. However this may be. the Trafford family has been rich one throughout the generations, and it has, I understand, other valuable estates out side this today.
 How Hooley Made $3,ooo,ooo.
 In the past few years, however, the means of Sir Humphrey de Trafford be- came crippled by extravaganceS of vari- ous kinds and he sold his ancestral home, so it Is said. to pay debts of honor. At any rate, it came into the hands of Hoo ley, the mushroom millionaire, who made a fortune in floating companies in asso- citation with lords and dukes. whom he bought by the score at so many guineas per head for the use of their names. Hooley paid about 5000, 900 for the prop erty five years ago and later on sold 1t to the Trafford Park Company for $50O0.- GOO. making a cool $3.OO0OOO out of the op- eration.
 The Trafford Park Company still owns the most of the estate and it was from them that the Westinghouse Company bought the land for their shops. They have 13O acres and. therefore. plenty of room for expansion.
 Other shops have sprung up on other parts of the park for the place is spe- cially fitted for manufacturing. It is just on the edge of the sister cities of Man chester and Salford. which have a popu- lation of s0000). and is the most thickly settled part of industrial England.

stopped. He then imported some Ameri- can masons and set them working beside the English laborers. The Americans cas- fly laid from 1900 to 200 bricks daily. and the Englishmen. who were too proud to be beaten by the "blarsted Yankees" put on a spurt and did equally well. Stewart increased the pay according to the work, and there was no objection from the trades unions. The bricklayers kept up their ,hustling from that time on to the end. and the result was that he got an average of 1000 bricks daily out of each of them.
 He pushed the carpenters in much the same way and by the use of automatic machinery quadrupled the product of his steel and iron works. To make a long story short he put up all the buildings in the time he had contracted for and made a reputation for himself as a wonder among the contractors of England He is still in the country and has been asked to take charge of the huilding of the Midland Hotel in Manchester. This hotel was begun before the laying of the foun- dations of the Westinghouse works, but
