STEAMERS BURN SOFT COAL.
Vessels Compelled by the Shortage to
Reduce Speed.

New York, Oct. Awhile the fuel
shortage is causing an uncomputed loss
to commerce and delay in ocean and
coastwise steaming, Atlantic seaboard
steamship companies are reducing their
speed and burning soft coal. Captain
Moore, who has the contract for land
ing immigrants. has informed the agent
OF the Fabre line that he has only
steamboats, until next Monday, and af-
ter that immigrants will have to stay
on shipboard. for there will be no way
to transfer them from the ships at their
piers to Ellis island.
1t will be necessary for incoming
steamers to give some Of their coal

Presidents Of the Coal Roads
Defend Their Action at Fri.
days Conference
JOHN MITCHELL IS DENOUNCED
Claim Made That He Had No Power
to Make the Agreement He Proposed
TO the President-civil Courts De-
cIared to Be Proper Place to Adjust
Grievances.

New York, Oct. 4.-The presidents OF
the anthracite coal railroads arrived
here from Washington on special
train today. E. B. Thomas, chairman of
the board Of the Erie Railroad Com
pany, who represented that company at
the conference with President Roose-
welt, said today:
There is nothing to add to my state
ment at Washington yesterday in re-
spect to the proposition made by us
that in case we can not satisfactorily
adjust any grievances with our own
employees, 1t shall be referred to the
Judges Of the court of common pleas OF
the district in which the colliery Is Sit
suated for final determination. This
certainly provides a tribunal which af-
fords the miners every possible pro-
lection, but we can not be expected 10
turn the conduct of the property which
involves the interests of such large
number Of people over to the control OF
irresponsible and illegal associations
and place the lives and property Of our
employees at their mercy. Our offer af-
fords every opportunity for fair and lib
eral treatment, with an appeal to an
impartial tribunal far from the ln11u-
ence of the miner or any coal cobmina-
ton. Our forces of men are increasing
and we produced yesterday over 4,000
tons Of coal.
President Truesdale OF the Lacka-
wanna road had nothing to add to the
statement submitted by him to the
president at Washington yesterday He
believed, he said, that it was not the
intention of the authorities to call out
the federal troops.
President Fowler. of the New York,
Ontario & Western road, said: 1t Is
not unlikely the public may jump at
the conclusion that Mitchell offered to
resume operations Immediately in or
der that the suffering public might be
relieved at once. think it worth while
10 call attention to the fact that Mitch
ell offered at yesterdays conference TO
make an agreement fer not less than
a year, or more than five years, as may
he mutually determined. Now the point
/ wish to make clear right here is this:
Mitchell can not order an Immediate
resumption Of work, because the by
laws of the United Mine workers de-
clare such proposition must first be
submitted to convention of Its dele
gates. That can not be done in less
than two weeks time.
"The public will observe there are
differences between resuming work Inn
mediately and resuming work at the
end OF two weeks. In a word, Mitchell's
proposition has a string to it. More
over, how do the operators know that
Mitchell can control the men? Did not
they go back on him at Hazelton two
years ago when he ordered them not
to strike? Then the trouble is there
are two sides to this fight, q responsible
side and an irresponsible one. The op-
orators stand for something; the miners
are In position to draw out of any
agreement their leaders may make. It
is practically impossible to make a
binding agreement with Mitchell"

Remarkable Claim Made by Dir. Little
field, Of Alexandria, Ind.

Alexandria, Ind, Oct. 4.-Dr.C.WLit-
tlefield asserts that he can restore the
dead to life. He says that he has re-
stored one boy who was undoubtedly
dead. and that he has restored animals
numberless times after rigor mortis had
set in. He declares that life is not nee
essarily dependent upon organic func-
ton Where death has been due to
causes which have not impaired tissue
formation or torn down the structure OF
the vital organs, life may be recalled.
."Volatile magnetism" says the physi-
clan, is the power that can reanimate
the dead body. In his experiments DR..
Littlefield uses a powder of which the
basis is common salt.
