 Power at Mussel Shoals.

Sheffield September 15 = Especially A party of eastern capitalists were In Shef- field several days this week and 1t has been learned that they are interested in the development of the immense water power at Muscle shoals, in the Tennessee river, eight miles above Sheffield.

 En Route to oyster Bay.

New York September 15.-Much specu- lation was caused tonight by the pres ence in the city of five of the most in fuential members of the United States senate, all here on their way to meet President Roosevelt at Oyster Bay to- morrow. The five are Senator Hanna of ohio Senator Allison of Iowa, Senator Aldrich of Rhode Island, Senator Spoon CT of Wisconsin and Senator Platt of Connecticut The senators declined to dis cuss the probability of any particular question coming up for a conference with the President tomorrow In fact they said they knew of no specific reason for the sending of the invitation to meet the chief executive at this time. Senator Al- lison said:
 T am going to see the President at his imitation, but he did not mention that others were to be there"
 Senator Hanna disclaimed all lnowl- edge of the Presidents purpose in calling the senators together. "I do not know what subjects will be discussed at tomor- rows conference" he said.
 Asked whether he thought the question of the coal strike would be one of the subjects taken up, he said he could see no reason why it sEould
 Do you think there is any Likelihood that the contentious of the striking coal miners and the opera tors will be sub mitted to arbitration?" he was asked.
 ''I see TO chance of it." he answered. "I am out of touch with the strike situation and have been for some time. At the pres- ent time I see no indication that the na- tional civic federation may be called upon to arbitrate."

METHoDisTs UP IN ARMS. Want Him to Refute Report About
 Archbishop Ireland.

Milwaukee. September 15.-President Roosevelt was called upon by the Wis consin Methodist conference today to re- flute the report that he has asked the vatican at Rome to create Archbishop Ireland a cardinal By unanimous vote the conference decided to send the fol- lowing letter to the President on the subject
 His Excellency President Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, N Y.-
 .Honored Sir: We see with pain in the press dispatches a rumor that the vati- can has received from President Roose- welt an intimation that he would be per sonally pleased to see Archbishop Ire land created a cardinal as a reward for the services he has rendered the church and the state.
 'We strongly doubt the correctness of this runko. for 1t does not seem possible that the President of the United States could thus violate the spirit of the con stitution of the United States which re- quires the complete separation of the church and the state, and we hope to see it authoritatively denied.
 By request of the Wisconsin annual Conference of the Methodist church.

 ton Franchise Rights.

Laws are demanded restricting the issue of capital stock, bonds and securities to any greater extent than the actual prop prty owned by corporations. Public own ership of public utilities Is desired and state insurance and provisions for old nge are approved. Child labor is decricd and educational aids ond trade unionism to keep up wages are approved In clos Ing the platform reads:
 Tn order to bringing about state of harmony, instead of constant discord, the workman must lool1 fer relief at the ballot box. Here where the will of the people is supreme the remedy lies at hand and must be taken advantage of. Working1nen must undertake to govern as well as toll, ana in that way they will get justice"
