AT the close Of his remarks Master
Fitzgerald sang beautiful song. The
President Of No. 1, viz: Eliza Dudley
was next on program. Her remarks
were more than excellent. She told of
the necessity Of every person being con-
nected with society and recited many
cases In which sadness was brought to
families at the time OF death on account
or failure on the part of such families
TO connect themselves with a society
She closed her remarks leaving tears in
the eyes OF many. The reports of the
various lodges were then given by the
Secretary of the Grand u. o. Of Star of
bethlehem. These reports showed that
the several divisions had met with over
whelmiDg success. They were received
with great satisfaction TO all.
Mr. John Scott, President OF No. 2
Lodge, then gave a five minutes talk
telling of the height he had been lifted
during his stay with the organization.

Both Sides Firm ae Ever-The End
Net IN Sight
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept 15.-Today
the 10th week of the coal strike
began. The reiteration by the
coal presidents last week that
no concessions would be made, and
the resolutions passed by nearly all
he local unions of the Omitted Mine
Workers, renewing their allegiance TO
their officers. and Pledging themselves
to continue the strike until conces-
sions are granted, show that neither
side to the controversy is weakening.
All sorts OF rumors have been put
In circulation by the spokesmen OF
the operators, as well as OF the strik-
ers, both sides contending that the
conference early Saturday morning be
tween Governor Stone and John
Mitchell and several of his lieutenants
has resulted to their advantage.
From the operators comes the story
that the conference proved failure,
in that the officials of the union were
led to believe that Governor Stone
was authorized TO make q proposition
looking toward settlement which did
not materlalize. The strikers, on the
other hand, claim that a trump card
is still to be played, which will win
for them. Mitchell, Fahy, Nichols and
the others present from this section
refuse 70 give any Information as to
what transpired at Harrisburg, but
some of the local leaders declare that
Legislation for the Improvement of the
workingman's condition was the topic
under discussion and some conclusions
were arrived at
The operators are concedinR that
the present miners organization is the
strongest yet known, end some Of
those who are in constant touch with
the men acknowledge freely that the
ranks are as unbroken now as at any
time during the strike, They marvel
at the tenacity OF the strikers and
wonder where the money comes from
that is sustaining the strikers and
their families. There does not appear
TO be any unusual scarcity OF money
IN the coal regions. and 1t Is now ac-
knowledged by friends and foes alike
that the miners are being we'll fed
and kept from want by the relief and
other funds raised for this purpose

him not to take the action, but to no

When asked for his reasons for HIS
withdrawal, Speaker Henderson said:
MY letter to Chairman Albrook is
the whole thing in a nutshell. You
cannot kill the trusts by applying free
trade without killing our own indus

the American trusts. and / do not be-

ing the American trusts, we should
make a market for foreign trusts.

BANKER FISH KILLED IN A ROW
Private Detective Charged With As
saultlng tho Millionaire.

saultlng tho Millionaire.
New York, Sept. 17.-Nicholas Fish,
millionaire, diplomat, and descendant
OF one of the best known or American
families. died at the Roosevelt Hos
pital early yesterday morning, as the
result Of an injury received In Er>
hardt's saloon. 206 West Thirty
fourth street. Whether he was muir
dered or fell the police have not yet
determined. II seems that Mr.. Fish
had a quarrel with a private detective
named Thomas ]. Sharkey, who join
ed the banker at table where he
had been drinking for several hours
with Mrs. Libby j. Phillips and Mrs.
Nellie Casey.
According to the police, Mr.. Fish
entered Erhardt's saloon with Mrs
Phillips and Mrs. Casey. The police
say that Mrs. Phillips knew who Fish
was, but that neither Mrs. Casey nor
Sharkey. who subsequently Joined the
party. were aware of his identity. The
police say that Fish did most OF the
buying. Fish then discovered that his
money was exhausted. and he an
nounced that he would have to draw
a check. Sharkey, ignorant OF Fish's
identity, questioned his ability to
make his check good. Fish, II is said,
took offense at this, and angry words
ensued. Then, according to the police
some one slapped Fish's face. One Of
the women, elinging to Fishs arm,
dragged him toward the door Of the
saloon and out to the sidewalk. The
pelice say that Sharkey attempted to
follow Fish, bat was for a moment re-
strained from doing so. He finally
went out OF the saloon, and he and
Fish encountered each other on the
sidewalk. Sharksy's hat had been
knocked on, and he was bareheaded.
There was a scufne, by whom com.
menced it&s rot known Fish fell or
was Knocked down, his head striking
q fagstone, ffacturing his skull. He
was removed to the Roosevelt Hospt
tai, where he aied several hours later.
Mrs. Libby J. Phillips, Mrs. Nellie
Casey and Thomas J. Sharkey were
arrested yesterday In connection with
the case. Sharkey was held In SIC, ,oos
bail and the women for witnesses.
