FUND FOR BRAVE OFFICER.
Movement on Foot for the Benefit OF
Special Watchman Young.

movement has been started among
the members of the local police force to
raise a fund for the benefit of Special
Watchnan William Young, Of the First
precinct, who was shot in the leg while
arresting Dan Hay. an alleged thief who.
Il is said, attempted TO break into an
Avenue jewelly store last Friday morn
ing.
Young is not a member of the regular
force, and his wound is in such condi-
tion that 1t will be weeks before he will
be able to return to duty; consequently
the pay from the merchants whose stores
he watches will not be forthcoming.
In view of his courageous conduct, his
fellowo officers. more especially the men
of the First precinct. have started
movement for a fund. The subject was
the topic of conversation at Police Head
quarters yesterday. Nothing but praise
was accorded the officer who was shot.
In spe; king OF the matter a prominent
official of the Police Department said:
Officer Young draws no salary from
the District government, and, in my
opinion, IL is only right that he should
be remembered for his courageous act

subscription, Major Sylvester will prob
ably be requested 20 have fund appro-
priated from the Districts account

CALL ON COMMISSIONERS
Discuss Matters Relative to
Coming Encampment.
Now That Masonc Fair Is at an End
Every Effort Is Being Made to
Complete $4,000 Fund.

The committee having general super
vision over the encampment of the Grand
Army Of the Republic. to be held in this
city in the month of October. called upon
the District Commissioners rs yesterday and
discussed with them matters which they
thought should receive the attention of
the municipal authorities. The commit
tee is composed OF Messrs. b. II. Warner,
chairman; Chaplin Brown, chairman of the
committee en- legislation; Major j. Nc
Elroy. NJ. Dyrenforth, DR.. d. p Hickling,
J. p. Ernest. Conrad II. Syme, and Barry
Bulkley.
More Police Needed.
The committee explained that it would
be necessary TO augment police protection
considerably during the encampment, and
were informed by the Commissioners that
the matter had already been attended to-
as had also the matter of allowing the
railroads to construct temporary tracks
for the accommodation of the crowds of
encampment visitors.
Another important question discussed
was the temporary erection of overhead
electric wires in the city for lighting anl
other purposes; for authority that the
District may use public slace, streets. and
reservations for the erection Of reviewing
stands. These matters must have spe-
cial consent of Congress.
Mr.. Chaplin Brown signified his inten-
tion Of drawing up a joint resolution
which would cover all these points for
the presentation TO Cnnpress hv the mil
nicipal authorities.
Commissioners to Aid.
Commissioner Macfarland. speaking for
his associates. stated that the Commits
sioners would be pleased to urge the ras-
sage Of such a resolution. This is the
method pursued upon the occasion of the
last encampment held In the Capital City.
and is every four years resorted to upon
the occasion of Presidential Inaugural
tions.
The committee talked at length with
the Commissioners relative to hospital
accommodations during encampment week
During the last encampment an extra hos
pital was improvised and 800 persons re-
ceived medical treatment therein. 1t is
undecided whether there shall be an extra
hospital provided or whether the hospitals
of the city will give aid in the matter and
attend to such cases of illness and acci-
dents as may occur.
Mr.. George 5. Wilson, secretary to the
Board Of Charities. was called in for con-
sultation about the likelihood of such ac-
ton on the part of the city hospitals, and
he has promised TO make inquiries and
report to the Commissioners.

MINERS MAY NOT ACCEPT.
President UnduIy Limited in APP
pointment of Board.
DIVISION OF OPINION,

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. f6.-From n
thorough canvass of the situation as 1T
now exists, there Is every indication
that III Q new arbitration plan proposed
by the presidents of the coal compaHies
for ending the miners strike will not
be accepted in its present form. There
is u division of opinion among the
strikers, but there is no doubt that II
majority feel that the offer to have the
president OF the United States select
AN arbitration &C mmission unduly linn
its the president in making up the
board. The miners, it is safe to say,
will abide by the advice of their ma
tional president, in whose judgment
they have the utmost confidence.
President Mitchell gave to the press
the following statement:
81 fully appreciate with what anx-
iety the people of our country are
awaiting the end of the coal strike.
The coal operators have not addressed
the miners union or its officers in
making their public statement. 1t is
therefore impossible Tor me to state
attitude of the miners at this time.
| am now, as l have always been,
deeply solicitous for the Interests of
the public and the welfare OF the mine
workers who have been OH strike for
the past five months A formal state-
ment defining our position and inten-
tions will be issued just as soon as we
are in possession of the full meaning OF
the proposition of the operators"
After giving this statement he was
a.scd many questions regarding the
attitude of the men and the probability
of the acceptance or rejection of the
new offer, but he had no reply to make
to any of these questions. He denied
that he had any knowledge of what
the new offer of the operators was un-
til it became public property, and also
denied that he was in telegraphic COM
munication with President Roosevelt.
His attention was called to the fact
that most of the information from
Washington indicated that the prop
osition would be accepted and that the
strike was near an end, but he stoutly
maintained that neither his officers nor
the rank and file of the men had done
to cause such an impression
to 90 out.
