new MOVE TO END STRIKE
Mitchell and the District Leaders Sum-
mOned To New York.
THEIR MOVEMENTS ARE MYSTERIOUS.
Conference With the Man Who Conducted The
Negotiations for J. Plerpont Morgan That
Resulted In the Settlement Of the Trouble
and Strike Two Years Ago In the Anthracite
Mines

New York (Special) Refusing to
tell why he is here, John Mitchell, leader
of the striking miners, arrived in this
city accompanied by District Presidents
Nichols, Fahey and Duffy.
He left Wilkesbarre suddenly, after
receiving mysterious telegram from
New York. On reachino the Ashland
House here Mr. Mitchell went to his
room, denying himself to all other call
ers, but leaving word that certain man
was to come up to him the instant he
reached the hotel. The name of the eX'
pected visitor Mr.. Mitchell would moi
state. 1t was said. however, that the man
he awaited was M. T. Guernsey De
troit labor leader. who, as a representa-.
tive of Senator Hanna, was influential
in the settlement OF the last anthracite
strike.
M. F. Guernsey is said to be a pseu-
donym of Daniel J. Keefe, who is presl'
dent of the Longshoremen, with head
quarters at Detroit. Mr. Keefe is known
to have been in the anthracite regions
recently but the exact nature of his
the anthracite strike of 1900 he repre-
sented Senator Hanna and was infuen-
tial in bringing about a settlement be-
tween the operators and the miners, Sc
curing a raise of 10 per cent. in wages
Almost at the same time as Mr.
Mitchelns arrival Senators Quay and
Penrose, of Pennsylvania, reached this
city and registered at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel AT II p. m. Mr.. Mitchell went
to the Fifth Avenue
Going to the desk, Mr.. Mitchell gave
his name, and he and his companions
we're taken to room 81. Who was the
occupant of this room, if anyone was
there before Mr. Mtchell's arrival no
one connected with the hotel would say.
But that Mr.. Mitchell was expected was
shown by the fact that as soon as he
gave his name he was taken to the room
at once. Senators Quay and Penrose
who had been out short time, had re-
turned to the hotel shortly before Mr.,
Mitchell arrived and they were accom-
panied by a third man. Thev went to
room 100. which was assigned to F, 5.
HammerIing, Of Wilkesbarre. All notes
or cards addressed to the Pennsylvania
Senators were sent to this room.
That there was a conference of mo-
mentous import in either room 81 or
room 100 was the conclusion Of all who
were about the hotel The conferees
were Mr.. Mitchell, who can do so much
to end the strike; Senator Quay, whc
said month ago that the strike would
end in two weeks; Senator Penrose,
who, with Mr.. Quay, would like a set
tement for political reasons; Mr.. Ham
merling and the fifth man, whose iden-
tity was not learned.
President Mitchell's conference lasted
an hour and three quarters. AT its con.
clusion he returned to the Ashland
House.

riage with Secretary Cortelyou and Col
Theodore A. Bingham, his military
aide, and was driven the entire length
OF the avenue in order to give those
in line a chance to see their President.
According to the original program,
President Roosevelt was to have occu-
pied the stand with Gen. Torrance. The
injury to his leg rendered it impossible
for Mr.. Roosevelt TO do this, and that
part OF the program was abandoned.
The President was greeted e1thusas-
tically by the veterans, as well as by
hundreds of thousands OF spectators as
he passed slowly down the south side
of the avenue as far as the Peace Monu-
ment and then back on the north side
to the White House.

his city in the investigation of the
yholesale graveyard robberies that have
ccurred in this vicinity during the last
ew months when detectives unearthed
bodies in the cellar OF the Medical
-ollege OF Indiana. A gang of 10 ne
roes was arrested several days ago.
charged with the ghoulish work, and
their leader, Rufus Cantrell, since his
arrest has confessed to many of the
robberies and informed the authorities
that other gangs have been operating
IN cemeteries in this and adjoining
counties, and that many of the robber-
les accredited to his following really
have been committed by others.
People who recently have buried rel
atives in various cemeteries are greatly
excited, and since the developments OF
the last few days many graves have
been reopened to see if the caskets have
been tampered with. Investigation in
several of these cases have revealed
empty caskets. Every medical college
in this city has been thoroughly search
ed for stolen bodies, but to no avail.
Six bodies were found in picking vat
at the Medical College OF Indiana, the
officials OF this institution proving they
have been lawfully obtained and assert
ing that there we're no other bodies
about the building.
Detectives went to the college Satur-
day with search warrant for the body
of Wallace Johnson, which had been
stolen from the grove lin the Ebenezer
Cemetery, northeast of the city The
college officials we're reluctant to allow
them to make the search. The detec-
tives, however, instituted a rigid search
OF the building, and, as a last resort,
raised the floor in the cellar. They
soon uncovered the remains of 10
bodies. An attempt had been made to
destroy the remains with lime.
The college officials are very indig-
nant at the latest phase in the situation,
and claim the bodies unearthed are
those of subjects dissected by the stu
dents OF last year. that some of them
are cadavers which were in the dissect-
ing room when the building was burned
several years ago The detectives claim
the bodies have been but recently buried
and that the evidence OF quicklime is
very apparent
The bodies are OF both men and
women, but are in such state that
identification is impossible. Search for
the stolen bodies will be continued.
