WHY THEY GAME TO TERMS.
Goal Operators ForcetI to Abandon
Position Taken by Baor. 2

Z. /.
Whilein New York Monday G. T..
55acf, ciiicf Of tile coal operators was
3.lg y rs; l3i ..l
Do you consider that the PROPOSE
tion submitted to the president In
the nature Of recession from the
stand taken by the opera tors?" lie was
asked.
| happen to have drawn the prop
osition myself" Mr.. Bacr said ''or
at least had Il considerable part in
preparing It, and i may state that 1t
cmbodtcS my opinions and my views.
Further than that l cannot say any
thing"
President Oliphant Of the Delaware
aud hudson was asked if the public
would not look upon the proposition
OF the operators as a concession to the
miners.
1T is not Il concession to the mi
ncrs," he replied. st isa concession
to humanity. is Il move taken to
relieve the distress prevalent through
out tho country"
President Fowler, on being asked
what influences If any induced the
operators to submit tile differences
with their men to arbitration, replied:
n Il was chiefly due to tho pressure
OF public opinion, or, rather, you
might say, public necessity. We
recognized that the public would suf-
fer from scarcity Of coal If something
was not done soon, aud we concluded
that 1t would be honorable to over
look in a measure the rights Of the
interests that VIC represent in order
thata way out Of Il serious prcdica-
mcnt might be found. Many OF the
schools were getting ready to shut
down, and still greater hardships
might be suffered"
One Of the men prominent in coal
circles said
The arbitration proposition now
before President Roosevelt was form,l-
lated by the men whose names and in
tcrcsts arc appended thereto. 1T is
only fair to say that Mr.. Morgan took
an active part in the proceedings and
his suggestions were most valuable.
The operators realized that mat
tcrs had to give way As men of
common sense they knew that they
could not freeze the American public,
Mr.. Morgan was frank to say that
something had to be done at once or
the hard coal interests would suffer
serious harm. The force Of his argll-
mcnt was generally recognized.
I'VE believe we have been more
than fair in our position. Until we
know how 1t has been received wc can
say nothing more"

FAMILY FOUND DEAD.
Grewsome Discovery Is Made in a
Chicago Building.
George ButIcr, Negro, Gives His
Wife and Six Children Poison
md Takes n Dose Himself-
Poverty the Cause.

Chicago, April 22.-Lying still in
death, their bodies in a very badly
decomposed condition and gnawed al
most beyond recognition by rats, in
hovel at 3413 South State street, which
in life they had called home, the police
Monday night found George Butler,
negro, his wife and their six children,
ranging in age from six months to 10
years. The wife and children were un-
dressed, and had apparently retired,
while Butler had only removed his
coat. Upon the table sat half-flled
can of salmon and nearby bottle
which contained some drug which the
police think is strychnine. The police
believe that Butler after poisoning
the salmon had offered it to his wife
and children, and after they ate greed
ily. had then eaten enough to kill him
self.
Two weeks ago Butler entered one
of the groceries and complained Bit
terly of conditions. He said he was
unable to make both ends meet, and
that it would be a good thing if he and
his family were all dead. He re-
marked at the time that he could not
stand it to have his little ones taken
away from him again.

THE PHILIPPINE BILL.
House Democrats in Caucus Decide
to Approve the Minority
Measure.

Washington, April 22.-The demo-
held caucus Monday night to con-
slider the Philippines civil government
bill agreed on by the democratic men,
bers of the insular committee. The
caucus lasted until shortly before
midnight, when resolution by Repre-
sentative Jones (Va.) was adopted
unanimously approving the minority
bill and requesting the democratic
members on the insular committee to
confer with democratic senators in or
der to reconcile any differences exist
ing as to the details of a Philippine
measure, with a view to reaching an
agreement upon one bill to be urged
in both branches of congress. Before
the adoption of this resolution the
democratic members of the insular
committee explained the terms of the
four separate Philippine measures
now proposed. The republican bill in
the senate provides temporary form
of civil government, in effect continu-
ing the present system. The repub-
lican house bill proposes a complete
form of civil government, with a Phil
ippine legislature. The democratic
bills, both in the senate and in the
house, look to ultimate independence
of the islands, but the house measure
goes more in detail on the period pre-
ceding independence, fixing July 4,
1911. as the date for complete insular
independence. 1t is with view to
reconciling the details of the two dem
ocratic measures that the resolutionG
were adopted Monday night.
