ROOSEVELT MAY ACT.
Holds Two Important Conferences on
the Coal Strike
CONCERNED OVER OUTLOOK.
In Consultation with Him Are Knox
Moody; Payne and Crane-NOt
Known Yet what ActiOn
Cnn BE Taken.

washington. oct. 1.-Thc coal strik,
ard the situation :Aat has result
from it We're the subject OF a confer
ence held at tie temporary Whit,
House during the day. in which the
president, Attorney General KnoN, See
retary Moody, Postmaster General
Payne and Governor Crane of Massil-
chusetts participated.
Every one connected with the con
ference WAS very reticent. but ii is
learned that the president is much con
cerneu over the situation-the near al-
proach of winter and the great scarci-
ty of fuel.
just what action can be taken is not
known. The fact that a move has
been made in the Massachusetts courts
to have receivers appointed for the
coal companies was discussed but the
legal view was that this was entirely
Inadequate and would not be likely to
relieve the situation.
The impression prevails that one rea
son for the hurried visit Of Secretary
Root to New York was for the purpose
of discussing" with the leading business
men of that city the situation, with IA
view to bringing the strike to al end
\ second conference was held later
in the day. The coal situation was fur
ther discussed. but the participants re-
fused to make any statement when
they came from til" presidents room.
The presidents physicians announce
that he enjoyed a good nights rest
and that the operation on his injured
leg performed Sunday is apparently
having the desired effect of accelerat-
ing his recovery.

THE AUTOMOBILE.

ne Lower In Price.
AT present automobiles are too CON-
plicated and prices are too high for
general adoption. The ratio of ma
chimes to population in the United
states, 1000 to 7S,O00,OO0 say-that is,
one to every G,5O0 persons-1oes not III

When we consider that only three wears
ago the ratio was one to l..jUD.UUO per
sJAs verJ different aspect is Pre-,
seAteo, ana ii may he safely concluded
that with such possibilities of demand
the automobile must of necessity
grow to meet the measure of its great.
ness. American makers are quicker to
see this opportunity than are their for
elgn rivals, as Is proved by prices.
Foreign machines are sold in this
country at from $500 to $4,000, the
record price, paid by wealthy New
Yorker, fer French machine, while
the highest priced American machine
Is $4,000, and hundreds are in use
which cost their owners from $3.50 to
$500,
A good horse and wagon may be had
for $780, and the automobile must ap-
proximate this figure to become, I popu,
lar and give the horse some hope that
at last he can quit work and live like n
gentleman. That this may be done
and still be profitable to makers is
shown in the history of bicycle prices
and in the further fact that one of the
first American makers, with the popu-
lar idea in view, made machines to sell
at from. S4O0 to 5000 and advanced his
prices later because he could get what
ever he asked.-William j. hampton in

NEW YORK, September l3.-In the early
London speculation American shares were
fractionally improved over our closing fig
ures of last night, and in the later dealings
there these stocks showed advances of
from one-quarter 10 seven-eighths per cent
Consols for both accounts were one-six-
teenth lower
In the local stock exchange initial trading
was extremely dull, with prices fractionally
higher on improvement noted in the London
market and reports OF warmer weather
throughout the corn belt. These two fac
tors were used to steady the market at the
start. and after the first half hours trading
efforts were made to rally the market.
There was a good deal of hesitation on the
part of the traders, who still felt uneasiness
over possible unfavorable monetary devel-
opments. Commission houses, too. were very
poorly supplied with regard to buying orders,
though 1t must also be said that they were
not ohering stocks in any quantity. Foreign
houses were only moderate buyers
Active shares were extremely irregular.

Foreign exchange also developed fresh
weakness and rumors of important en-
gagements of imports Of gold next week
which also tended to strengthen the market
and invite traders to overlook the unfaVor-
able bank statement. In the late trading
prices generally improved smartly, St.
Paul and Missouri Pacific stocks showing
the most advance and We're said TO have
received better inside support today than
yesterday.
The bank statement follows: Reserve de-

BARCELdNA's CAPTURE
DETAILS Of sAonrna SENT By
CONSUL GoLDsCHMIDT.
Foreigners Treated Without Considera-
tion-Mopey Demanded by the
Victorious Rebels.

Mr. Louis GoTdschrnidt, the consul at La
Guayra. Venezuela, has reported under
date of August 16 to the Department of
State in regard to the revolution in Venez-
uela as follows:
Advised on August II that the city Of
barcelona has been surrendered to the
revolutionists after seven days and eight
nights of hard fighting in the streets. The
city is In ruins Many houses and estab-
hshments We're; sacked without considera-
ton to- foreigners.
On August IL, 1902, the consular agent
at Barcelona advised me that after the
surrender the sacking continued and that
the search of houses was then going on
ana money was being demanded of for
elshers, that no guarantee to the safety OF
liFes ana property was given and that the
situation was very critical On the 10th
lne cincinnati returned to La Guayra from
barcelona, and Captain Mclean confirmed
the several messages from Consular Agent
Biaz; that the fighting in the streets of
barcelona had been serious and that many
ouslEess and private houses had been pill
iased by both parties, but that the town
was then comparatively quiet. He also
reported that both Barcelona and it's port
Guanta, were occupied by the revolution
lists.
Owing to this last victory of the revo-
lutionists over the government there re-
mains but one port now (Cumana) in the
hands of the government. on the whole
coast east of La Guayra.' -

ATTEMPTED TO HANG HIMSELF.
Edward Pace Strangled to Uncon-
sciousness in Suicides Cell

Edward Pace, colored, was arraigned be-
fore Judge Bundy this morning on charge
Of being drunk and disorderly on 7th street
northwest yesterday afternoon. A fine Of
S1O with the equivalent of thirty days in
the workhouse, was imposed upon the pris-
oner. Pace was arrested shortly after the
noon hour yesterday, and placed alone in
cell at the second precinct station.
When other offenders were brought to the
station house about o'clock Pace was
moved to cell No. ., which was also occu-
pied by Joseph Doyle, an old soldier, who
was under arrest for q minor offense
Shortly after the change was made the
officers heard Doyle calling for help, and
when they reached the cell they found Pace
hanging to the cell door with one of his
undergarments tied about his neck and
around the bolt of the door, trying to
strangle himself When the officers cut
him loose he was almost choked to death.
Pace was taken TO the Homeopathic Hos
pital where he restored to conscious
ness, and several hours later he was re-
turned to the station house, where a guard
was placed over him during the rest of the
night. The man would give no reason for
his attempt to take his own life, and re-
fused to discuss the matter.
Cell No is becoming known as sui
cide'S CELL several prisoners confined
therein within the last two months have
