President still Active.
Washington, Oct 13.-President
Roosevelt is seeking every method by
which there may be federal action in
settling the coal strike. His cabinet
advisers have been requested to look
carefully into the laws which may have
bearing on the subject and see if
there is any statute under which he
can proceed. So far nothing has been
found. There is one ray of hope. but
it is rather faint in view of the atti-
tude of the coal operators. This isthat
some mutual ground of arbitration
may be found.
Root fiji New York.
New York, Oct. 13.-The presence
here of Secretary Root, who came over
Friday night from Washington, gave
rise to reports that he would at least
confer with the representatives of the
coal interests on behalf of the presi-
dent. Mr., Root, however. said that he
had merely come to New York to regis
ter. But later in the day, when secre-
tary Root failed to appear at any of the
places which it is his custom to visit
when here, it was reported that he
was in conference with j. P. Morgan.
As Mr. Morgan did not appear at his

taken to indicate that he and the sec

Again Next Tuesday.
POSITIVE STATEMENT BY Mr.. THOMAS.
Proposition by Operators Is Abso-
lutely Final-Another Report to
Press IL That Fridays Conference
Was n Success, and That Tuesday
Final AgreementMayB be r cached

New York, Oct. 13.--It was stated
Saturday at the Office of F. B. Thorn
as, chairman of the board of direct
ors OF the Erie railroad, that the re-
ports to the effect that there was
likely to be on Tuesday of next week
further conference with Senators
Quay, Platt and Penrose were incor-
rect. The statement issued by Mr..
Thomas at the conclusion of the con-
ference on Friday morning defni-
lively covered the situation.
1t was explained that in the early
conferences with the Civic Fedora
ton certain propositions had been
submitted by Mr.. Thomas. These
propositions are understood to be
The basis of all the negotiations on
the part of the operators ever since
and to which the operators adhere.
These propositions were:
"First-The anthracite companies
do not undertake in the slightest
manner to discriminate against mem
bers of the United Mine Workers of
America; but they do insist that
members of that organization shall
not discriminate against nor decline
to work with nonmembers of such
association.
"Second-That there shall be no
deterioration in the quantity or
quality of the work and that there
shall be no effort to restrict the in
dividual exertions of men who, work
ing blythe ton or car, may for rea-
sons satisfactory to themselves and
their employers produce such guam
tity of work as they may desire.
Thirdly reason of the different
conditions, varying not only with the
districts, but with the mines them
selves, thus rendering absolutely i'm
possible anything approaching uni
form conditions, each mine must ar
range, either Individually or through
its committees, with the superin-
tendents or managers, any question
affecting wages or grievances"
On the other hand, the press has
received the following from an au-
thoritative source on the other side
of the dispute:
1ue Two Gays conference between
the presidents of the coal carrying
railroads and Gov. Odell and Sen
ators Platt, Quay and Penrose was
not the failure that it was reported
to be. The operators practically
agreed to certain advance in wages
and to certain propositions that
would result in the resumption OF
coal mining. The authority here
mentioned is of the opinion that the
conference was not adjourned be-
cause an agreement apparently could
may not be reached that day. AT
ators were not willing to have it ap-
pear that they were yielding under
pressure. The conference, according
to the present plan, will be resumed
On Tuesday, but final aIrssment

Near Lincoln, Neb.
DYNAMITE SAFE AND SECURE CONTENTS
Reported to Have Secured $4,000
After Stopping Train and CUT

Messenger to Open the Car-Job
Quickly and Neatly Done.

Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13.-Three masked
men held up Burlington train No. Al,
the Pacific Coast express, four miles
out of Lincoln, shortly before two
o'clock Saturday morning. They used
explosives on the express car, shatter-
ing it badly, and after wrecking the
safe rifled it of its contents, securing
an amount thought to be 81, 500.
Train Al reaches Lincoln at 1855 a.
NJ, and leaves for the northwest ten
minutes later. 1t was few minutes
late Saturday morning and was in
charge of Conductor C. A. Lyman and
Engineer A. L. Clayburg. On the crest
of hill midway between the city and
the town of Woodlawn, the engineer
saw red light waved across the track
and brought the train to standstill.
Two men sprang quickly into the cab,
covering Clayburg and his fireman with
revolvers. They lost no time in CIV
ing their orders and were just as
promptly obeyed.
Express Safe Dynnmited.
The express car was cut from the
balance of the train and ran ahead a
short distance. They found the door
locked and after commanding Messen-
ger William Lupton to open it and get
ting no response fired two or three
shots into the car. The door was then
opened. A heavy charge of dynamite
on the safe literally tore it to pieces.
Fourteen packages said to contain a
hundred dollars each were taken, to-
gether with other valuables.
The two men who were in the car
politely babe the trainmen good morn
ing, jumped from the car and ddsap-
peared.
