ALL EYES ON WHITE HOUSE.
Striking Anthracite Miners Look to
Chief Executive for Aid.

Wilkesbarre. Pa. June 1.-THE eyes
Of the striking miners are turned to-
ward the white house at Washington.
=. new hope has arisen in the breasts
of the men that the president of the
United States at the suggestion OF the
New York board of trade may take up
the task of attempting to bring miner
and mine owner together. There is
strong belief here that President
Roosevelt will take up the matter and
try to work out solution of the prob
lem. Mine workers about strike head
quarters feel that the great coal COM
panies cannot turn deaf ear to the
chief magistrate, and that if he can be
prevailed upon to step into the breach
it is not improbable that the operators
would recede from the stand they have
taken The miners, it is known, stand
willing to arbitrate.
President Mitchell had nothing to
say when approached on the new
move to have the president take
hand in the settlement of the strike.
The coal companies continue to lose
engineers. fremen and pumpmen.
Many of the men who are now quitting
are doing so through a fear of bodily
harm. Reports come into Wilkesbarre
almost hourly of men on their way to
or from the mines being attacked.
The attacking parties in most cases
are boys and young men, and their
favorite method is throwing stones.
Several men have been hurt. but as
yet no serious injuries have been in
fiicted on auV one,

BALLET is FOUND GUILTY.
The Convention Is on All Five Points
in Indictment.


Des Moines, June 6.-Letson Bal
Iiet was found guilty OF using the
United States mails to defraud IN
connection with the promotion OF the
White Swan gold mine, by jury IN
the federal court yesterday afternoon
The indictment was on five counts
which We're consolidated, however, so
that the extreme punishment for the
crime would be eighteen months IN
the penitentiary and fine OF $500.
The Jury went out at 10 O'Clock and
came in at 8. not having any serious
disagreement in securing verdict.
Sentence will not be pronounced at
present. His attorneys, Judge Charles
Bishop. of Des Moines, and Col. En-
inert Callahan. of Baker City. Oregon.
gave notice al once of motion Tor
new trial They have until June 26 to
file this motion. 1t will be passed
upon some time during July or early
in August. If refused sentence Will
then be pronounced. and if the de-
Tense sees fit an appeal will then be
taken to the United States circuit
court of appeals at st. Louis. the
case could be carried up from that
court to the United States supreme
court on certiorari proceedings. While
not willing to state what will be their
action until after the motion for a new
trial is passed upon it seems to be the
intention of Ballet and his attorneys
to fight the matter out to the end.
Pending the decision OF the court on
motion for a new trial Ballet will be
at large under the same bond as since
he was indicted.

London. June EN- accordance
with King Edwards message to the
house of commons the government
leader A. J. Balfour, in the house yes

June 5 three years ago, voted it's

grant carried yesterday by vote of
$50 to Al.
Mr.. Balfour, in supporting the mo-

rapid promotion. He said /. had been
given to few public servants to CON-

news FROM THE
HAWKEYE STATE
What Has Happened in Iowa
During the Past
Week.
TO PROSECUTE THE SCHEMES
Attorney General and Auditor Of State
Contemplate Bringing Action Against
Certain Diamond Contract and Home
Building Companies

Des Moines. June 4.-Innumerable
arrests and prosecutions of operators
of diamond contract schemes and home
building companies are threatened in
Iowa. 1t has been ascertained that
actions will be begun by Auditor of
State Merriam through Attorney Cen
eral Mullen in order to make test
cases. They have been prompted to
make the move by the conviction in
Chicago of two men who operated
diamond contract scheme along
lines identical with the contracts
sold by several companies in this
state. The penalty is from one to ten
years in the state penitentiary.
Attorney General Mullen disclaims
any knowledge of the action to be TAX
en- and state auditor is at present
out of the city. Nevertheless it is
almost certain that proceedings Will
be brought within few weeks and an
effort made to suppress all business
of this character. 1t is also rumored
that under the provisions of the Girls
void law, passed by the Twenty
ninth General Assembly, that proceed
ings will be commenced against the
home investment companies and asso-
Citations conducted on the tontine
plan to compel them to Immediately
come within the provisions of this
act. One of tn principal demands
of this law is that the companies en-.
gagged in such business file trust
fund with the auditor in order to
insure the carrying out of all con-
tracts.
Several new companies have been
formed in the state and have present
ed articles at the Office OF Secre-
tary of State Martin for filing. The
articles have been rejected on the
grounds that they do not conform to
the new requirements by reason OF
the passage of the Griswold law. The
companies agreed to consolidate their
interests in endeavoring to force the
secretary to accept the articles by
instituting an action in mandamus.
Aggressive action on the part or
the companies is temporarily held IN
allowance by reason of the rumOrs
that hostile action was likely to be TAX
en- by the state in order to determine
whether the operators of the schemes
are subject to criminal prosecution.
1t is said that none OF the Iowa men
had considered criminal proceedings
and that they are in state OF anx-
iety bordering upon alarm at the sug'
gestion that they may be face to face
with prison service. The worst they
had considered was being forced to
abandon what has proven most lu-
crative occupation.

MAD DOG CAUSES A PANIC.
One of the Many That Were Bitten
Has Died.

Fort Dodge. June 5.-The people OF
the village of Ellsworth, eighteen miles
east of here. are panic-stricken with
fear of a hydrophobia epidemic. One
man is dead and eight others are re-
ceiving treatment in the Pasteur hos
pital in Chicago as the result of bites
received from one small pet canine.
The dog that caused the widespread
trouble was village pet. About two
weeks ago it was bitten by hound
that later developed unmistakable
symptoms of hydrophoba. The hound
and dog were killed, but not until
the dog had bitten twelve or fourteen
persons and several other CANNES.
Last Saturday John Olsen, one of tn
first victims, developed symptoms II
rabies Sunday he was taken to the
Pasteur institute in Chicago, where he
died in great agony. When the news
of his death reached Ellsworth it
created CONSERVATION and the next
train to Chicago carried eight people
who were bitten. among them Mrs.
George Pearson and daughter, H. Sew
erson and Andrew lyon. Every dog in
Ellsworth has been killed by special
order of the city council.

GREAT STRIKE is ENDED.
But There Is Possibility That 1t
May Be Renewed.

Chicago, June 1.-THE packing
house teamsters' strike, which has
disturbed the peace of the city for
nearly two weeks. and which yester-
day caused the most serious rioting
that has occurred since the American
Railway Union strike in 1894. came
to an end yesterday as the result of a
secret conference between the pack
ers and teamsters at the Grand Pa
cific hotel.
The agreement reached is partial
victory for the transfers. in that the
packers have declared that they will
not discriminate against members Of
the union. The scale agreed upon is
2 cents lower than that demanded by
the men. 1t is as follows: Cart
drivers. 10 cents an hour: single
wagon. 20 cents; tWO-hOrse wagons,
22h cents; siX-horse wagons, 80 cents.
The men are to be paid full time from
time of leaving the barn, with a de-
duction of half an hour for lunch.
They will not be required to work on
Labor day.
A report gained currency that
number of leaders in the strike had
been discharged. Late last night
conference between Mr.. Dolleney and
A. l.. Leonard. superintendent of the
Union Stock Yards Transit company,
was arranged. Mr.. Leonard will be
asked to reinstate the men who have
been discharged, and unless he con-
s4nts to do so, it is said the strike
will be renewed and the 5000 butch
ers employed in the different packing
plants will be called out on strike
