There have been two arguments for
the Appalachian Forest Preserve within
sure an appropriation of five million dol

unanswerabie. Unless something is done

in their wake.

race are discouraged, and says:
ct has been said: The Southern white

The Northern white man dislikes him and

both, and gravitates, sooner or later, to
his home in the South, where his truest
friends are found among his own race"

NIXON WILL RULE
 OR QUIT TAMMANY
SAYS HE WILL RESIGN LEADER SHIP IF HE IS NOT PERMITTED TO CONDUCT AFFAIRS HIS OWN WAY.

New York, May 13.-Lewis Nixon de- clared in an interview with an Evening Post reporter toda that he will resign the leadership of Tammany Hall If he is not permitted to direct the affairs of the organization in his way. The declaration was made In a talk about the action of the Tammany societies sachems last night in dividing on the question of al- lowing the grand sachem, MT. Freitner, to hold over for another year. Nixon had recommended that Feitner be kept in office, but six of the twelve sachems present, headed by John F. Carroll, would not accept Feitner and insisted that an election be held. That would have meant Feitner's retirement as he could not be reelected under the constitution. Action was postponed for a week.
 Questioned today about the matter MT. Nixon said:
 "I favored the retention of Feitner as grand sachem. I believe that no change should be made in the organization of the Tammany society I am doing my best for Tammany. I want to restore the organization to power. If I find cannot do what I think best, then there Is only one thing for me to do-to go."

 RISING AGAINST STRIKE
Apparent Overwhelming Desire for Closing All the Mines Not Quite So Pro inent and When the Convention Meets
 There Will Be Close Vote on the Question

mands for a shorter work day without a reduction of wages has helped to com plicate the situation. and no doubt has had considerable to do with the apparent change in the sentiment of many miners who were for a strike. The radical strike advocates Insist that the miners union should accept the proposition, which would result In the suspension of work by the engineers, firemen and pump run ners, and this would cause the operators a large financial loss through the flooding of the mine workings. It Is held by them that the mine owners would concede the men something rather than see thei, property ruined.
 The convention will meet at 10 a. m. to- | morrow.
 Scranton, Pa., May 13.-Sixty per cent of the members of Lackawanna county's delegation to the miners convention at Hazleton have been instructed to vote against a strike.
