Scranton. Dec. 16.-When the coal
strike commission met today Chair
man Gray opened the proceedings by
saying that the commissioners were
impressed with the spectacle of the
little girls who yesterday testified that
they worked all night.

He said that the citizens of the COM

pass without taking some steps to
have the legislature of Pennsylvania
consider the enactment of law that
will forbid the employment of children

the miners ton, which runs from 2,
700 to 5000 pounds. was fixed years

GETS THREE YEARS. PLEADS GUILTY
FLETCHER FRANKLIN SENT TO
PENITENTlARY IN MISSOURI.
Letter Received Today by Chief Gray
from Sheriff r. J. Dali of Linneus,
Mo-, Tells of Result of Franklin's
Trial on Grand Larceny Charge.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Fletcher Franklin, the Missouri out
law, who was arrested in this city a
few weeks ago by Chief of Police John
w. Gray, was given three years in the
Missouri penitentiary for horse steal
ing, and on Saturday Sheriff r. H. Dali
of Linn county, Mo-, took Franklin to
the prison, where he landed him safe
and sound, in spite of the alleged
threats made by friends of the pris-
oner to the effect that he would not
be allowed to do it. A letter was re-
ceived this morning by Chief Gray
from Sheriff Dali stating that Franklin
is behind the bars, the crime for which
he was sent being that of stealing a
team of horses belonging to A. J. Bra
dy, a farmer living near Forker, in
Linn county. This theft occurred De-
cember 70, 1900, about two years ago,
and although it was almost sure that
Franklin took the animals and that he
also perpetrated numerous other thefts
of like nature in the vicinity of Lin
neus, no arrests were made. Finally
he came to this city and Chief Gray,
after spending several weeks in get
ting his man located, finally arrested
him and turned him over to the Mis-
souri, authorities How much the Mis-
souri, farmers realize the Importance
of the capture is shown by the fact
| that the local officer has received $3.50
| in rewards for capturing the man and
recovering property stolen by him in
Missouri and sold in Wapello county.
Will Be Monotonous.
Franklin's career from this time
forward will hardly be zone continual
round of pleasure" judging from the
reports which come from Missouri rel
alive to the number of charges that
have been and will be filed against
him. 1t is probable that three years
from now, when he energies from the
portals of the penitentiary at Jeffer
son City, he will be met by a line OF
sheriffs and other officers, some lucky
one of whom will bear him off in tri
umph to a court house to be tried
and returned to the prison to serve
another term for horse stealing. In
deed, there are more serious charges
! against him, among them being thai
of numbering three different men. He
! is known as the worst outlaw in Mis-
souri, since the days of the James
boys and the Youngers. 1t is hardly
probable that he will live long enough
to serve all the sentences that are
4 awaiting him.

CONSIDER FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Cabinet Today Deals With Venezuelan
Situation.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 16-The
President and cabinet had one
of the most extended and important
meetings today that has been held for
some time. The Venezuelan situation
was discussed in all its phases. 1t can
be said authoritatively that no appre-
hension exists in the minds of any of
the administration officials that seri-
GUS troubles growing out of it will
accrue to this country. The navy de-
partment is preparing orders for the
disposition of the vessels of Dewey's
fleets during Christmas week The
plan is to avoid concentration of
ships at any one point. The depart
ment officials state that this is simply
in execution of the original program
decided before the maneuvers began.

LONG Look Ahead.

"There is trust smashing craze in
the land" declares the Cedar Rapids
Republican, but fifty years from now
the men who aspire to be trust killers
may appear in no better light than the
men who, tried fifty or seventy-five
years ago to stop the building of rail,
roads. All great departures from the
conventional breed the desire to de.
stroy, especially in little minds"

into the advance in freight rates on
grain products, dressed meats and
provision from the Mississippi river
to Chicago and other eastern points
