New York Conference Has Failed to End
the Strike.
Reports from New York city late this
afternoon indicate that the conferences
held yesterday and today have failed to
end the strike, although ray of hope
is held out that an amicable adjustment
will soon come.
All the coal roads were represented at
conference held today In Senator
Platt's office. Senators Quay and Pen
rose and Governor Odel were also pres
ent
At the close OF the meeting President

awanna and Western, announced that
"the situation il unchanged and no
more conferences will be held until

At noon today Vice President Wilcox,
OF the Delaware and Hudson, issued a
column and half open letter to Presi-

cutive shall institute proceedings against
the United Mine Workers of America on
the ground that it is an illegal associa-

MANY RUMORS
OF SETTLEMENT
Politicians Are Desperately
Battling for Peace.
Several important Meetings
Held With a View of End
ing the Strike--Operators
Are Likely to Yield.

Under the threat presented by the
leading Republican politicians OF Penn.
sylvania and New York that the laws OF
this state will be enforced against the
coal-carrying railroads, thereby causing
dissolution Of the Coal trust and
putting an end to the enormous profits
which these corporations have for years
wrung from the people Of the eastern
United States, 1t is likely that the repre-
sentatiyes of the anthracite mining COM
bnatlon will soon yield and end the
strike with concessions satisfactory to
the United Mine Workers of America.
Numerous conferences looking to the
settlement OF the strike were held In
New York yesterday and last night, but
there was no evidence given to the
public that any results had been reach
ed. Rumors Of settlement flew thick
and fast, but when any one OF the con-
ferees was approached the almost in.
variable answer to questions concern
ing the consultations was: Il have
nothing to say"
The conferences are going on today,
but the impression prevails that II any
basis of settlement is reached 1t will not
be announced until this evening.
The story Of the day centers about a
meeting held In the afternoon at Sem
ator Platt's Office. Present at this
meeting we're Governor Odell, Senators
Quay, Penrose and Platt, Railroad
Presidents Olyphant, Fowler, Truesdale
and Thomas, John Markle, David Will
COX, general counsel of the Delaware
and Hudson; David Lamar and Edward
Lauterbach.
At the conclusion Of the meeting none
present would say what had taken place
or whether any solution to the strike
trouble had been reached.
The conference followed one held in
the forenoon in Senator Platt's office, at
which were present Senators Quay and
Penrose, Governor Odell, Edward Lau-
terbach and Senator Platt. The con-
ferees were very reticent as to the sub
jects under discussion there.
At 3 o'clock the politicians were join
ed by the operators, and the most i'm
portant conference OF the day was held.
Mr. Lauterbach went back and forth
from the Office, and made a trip to j..
Pierpont Morgan's office. He then went
back to the conference room. Mr.. Lau-
terbach replied to questions by saying
that appearances looked very hopeful
for speedy settlement OF the strike.
He said he had seen President John
Mitchell Wednesday night and that he
seemed disposed to act with a spirit of
fairness. The conference ended about
4.30 o'clock. President Fowler was the
first to leave, the other operators follow
ing him. The coal road presidents re-
ferred all inquirers to the senators and
Governor Odell.
i've nothing to say; there is nothing
be said" was Governor Odell's answer

TWO OFFICERS TAKEN
 FOR DUNCAN AND PAL

"Hello Is that the chief of polices of fice?'
 Yes What do you want?'
 q am a groceryman and two suspicious characters who look like Frank Duncan and his partner have been hanging around here for some time. If you send a special man or two out right away I think you can catch them.''
 What do they look like?''
 "One of them is rather tall and has a tfin face, blue eyes and sandy mous- tache. His partner Is a little heavier. and I think he is Bullard. Hurry up."
 ''All right, two men will be sent right away. Keep an eye on them and see where they go.''
 For a few minutes there was con- sternation in the office of the chief and two men were quickly found and given orders to go to the store at once heavily armed.
 The chief waited expectantly for some time. Suddenly there was a heavy ring at the telephone and he hurried to the re- ceiver.
 'All right-554."
 Chief, the men have gone," came the answer from the special officers at the grocery store. They've started toward town"
The age-herald., 1902-02-25

Disappointment was on everybody's face in the office. and in a few minutes two officers in citizens clothes walked in. They had been detailed earlier in the day to go to a distant grocery store and look out for suspicious characters. Fail ure was written on their faces and walk ing up close to the chief one of them said: We stood around that grocery store for several hours, but could get no trace of the men we were after"
 ''Why, I have just had a telephone message that Frank Duncan and his partner, Bullard, had been seen around that store, and I have sent two men to arrest them"
 The chief then began to describe the men and one of the officers broke out in a loud laugh. That was us," he took time to say, and the groceryman is an idiot"
 By degrees the story leaked out, and 1t was found that the two officers had kept their identity secret from the storekeep- CT, and becoming alarmed, he slipped to the telephone and called up the chief
 The two Duncan and Bullard' specials came in presently and after a whispered conversation with the chief, quietly re- turned to their beats.

Two Attempts Made Recently to Burn Or. RusseIPS
 Institute
JOHN ALLEN UNDER ARREST
Negro Claims He Discovered Books On Fire In Office and Extin- guished Flames-Offlcers
 Believe Story Fishy.

John Allen, a negro. was arrested yes terday morning by Detective Culpepper charged with arson. It is alleged by the police that the negro made an effort Sunday night to set fire to the Russell Medical Institute at 4O4 Eighteenth street, North.
 Yesterday morning when Dr. Ralph Russell entered his office in the institute he found the book case and a quantity of papers in a partially burned condition in one corner of the room. Alien told the doctor he had extinguished the fire the night previous between and 10 o'clock. Suspecting something was wrong pr. Russell telephoned for a policeman and Detective Culpepper was sent to work the case. He questioned the negro, who declared he was coming in the house when he discovered that the book case was on fire. He extinguished the flames, he claimed with his hat.
 After putting the fire out the negro claims he looked to see how it caught and found the window which opens into the front yard open. Detective Culpep- per made a careful examination of the ground but failed to find any shot prints, although the ground was soft from the recent rains and a person stepping on it would undoubtedly have left a good im- pression.
 After examining the ground and listen ing to the negro's statement he consid- cred he had evidence enough of a cir cumstantial nature to warrant the ar rest. The negro's tale did not agree with the other conditions and he became badly mixed in telling it, according to the de- tective.
 One of the main reasons for suspecting the negro is that he failed to tell pr. Russell soon after he claims to have dis covered the fire. If his tale Is true, ar que the police, he would have telephoned Dr. Russell at once and notified him of the attempt
 This is the second time in the past month that an attempt has been made to burn the building. Some time ago box partially burned and filled with hot ashes which would have soon blazed up was found under a corner of the house. It Is not known how the box happened to be there. but the supposition at the time was that some one was trying to burn the institute.
 Dr. Russell knew nothing of. the sup posed attempt to burn his place until yesterday morning. The case Is still be- ing worked on and additional evidence may be secured today. The negro when seen yesterday afternoon denied Knowing anything of the origin of the fire.

MAY GET NEW PATROL.
one-Horse Wagon, to Run Day and
 Night, Will Probably Be Bought.

It is probable the city will have a new patrol wagon in short time. A one horse wagon, which will make it possible to run the wagon day and night with only two horses. will be purchased.
 At present there is two-horse wagon and both horses are consequently in use at the same time. With lighter wagon only one horse will be used. At present the wagon is supposed to start at noon and run until 2 o'clock in the morning, but 1t really starts about o'clock in the morning and works until nearly the next morning. Under the proposed new arrangement the wagon will run all the time without an additional expense for horses.
