LAST DAY OF CONVENTION.
Delegates Want Operators to Have
 Until April 1 to Grant Concessions.

Delegates Want Operators to Haye
 Until April 1 to Grant Concessions.
 Shamokin, Pa, Mar. 22.-The last day of the convention of districts Nos l, ' and United Mine Workers, was fraught with grave significance. The conservative element comprising ma jority of the delegates from districts ' and 9, is known to favor referring final decisions to committee com posed of President Mitchell and Dis trict Presidents Nichols, Fahy and Duffy. This proposition is opposed by what are known here as the radicals who represent principally district No l, comprising the Wyoming and the Lackawanna regions and few of the delegates from the two lower districts.
 The delegates insist on the adoption of a resolution allowing the operators until April 1 in which to grant the con sessions demanded in the wage scale and if this time limit is fixed, they say they have no objection to placing the matter in the hands of the commit tee names. President Mitchell was in conference with President Fahy of dis trict No 9 until after midnight, but the subject under discussion is not known.
 The convention was called to order shortly after 9 o'clock this morning and consideration of the scale was re- Sumed.

on them and after they are thoroughly cleansed and receive new clothing they will be as safe as others. Other quarantined places will be fumigated and the parties detained let go as soon as it can be done without endangering the public. There is no disposition on the part of the officials to keep people longer than is absolutely necessary.
 The physicians appointed to vaccin- ate the school children have com-- menced operations and it is hoped that parents and others who have charge of children will see that they call upon them and have this thing over as soon as possible. It is folly for people to- say that the school officials cannot discharge children from the schools who refuse to be vaccinated They can. Section 2137 of the general statutes confers this power upon school boards and then to show that there can be no confiction between the school officials and the health board Section 2606 states that the boards of health shall have power to arrest those in charge of children who refuse to comply with any order issued in the interest of public healre. There might be some reason for par ents to find fault provided no proyis- ion had been made whereby children could be vaccinated free. Tue law compels the authorities to do this be- fore they can put such an order as has been issued into force, but as soon as they have done this all who persist in keeping their children away on this account leave themselves liable to a fine of $5 for each offense, unless it can be shown that there are physical reasons for not having the operation performed. Some are saying that a child cannot be classed as q truant so long as the officials will not admit
 him. He can, provided the author- ties put him in position to comply with the requirements, but he refuses to take advantage of the offer.
 Owing to the great work of arrang-
 ing the city into districts and the large
 number of houses to be visited, the proposed medical inspection will not commence until Monday.

SHOOT FEM DOWN.
Captain Cowles Advises Citizens flow

Captain Cowles Advises Citizens flow
 to Treat Burglars.
 New Haven. March 22.-Captain of Detectives Cowles again yesterday morning spoke of the way in which burlars should be treated: s'Shoot 'em,' was his remark. 'If >some one could only wake up at the time these men are entering the house and pump q few bullets from q Winchester rife into them it would do more to stop bUrglaries in this section than anything else know of The men who commit burglaries are usually fearless des- peradoes who would as soon shoot other people as not. They know what to expect when they enter a house. and if they are carted away in an ambu- lance or undertaker's wagon, they have no one to blame but themselves. Yes: shooting them is the best remedy know of. Just to illustrate the bold ness of the burglar who has been working in this city lately, when he got into q house of o. B. North on Chapel street he went right into the room coupled by Mrs North. who was asleep in bed. He took her gold watch and chain and pocketbook. Going into the next room, he took the money out threw the empty pocketbook on a chail. and left the watch chain with it. He then entered the room in which the ser- want girl was asleep and took her pocketbook"

SHOOTING AT SPELLING MATCH.
Young Man Inflicted Fatal Wounds on
 His Rival.

Venna, III, March 22.-At a spelling match given at the school house at Double Bridges, Simpson township, this county, a desperate shooting af- fray occurred. Frank Rushing and John Adams, two young men of the neighborhood, had been paying their respects to the same young woman and she had told Adams that she would have no more to do with him.
 This so enraged him that it is said he swore vengeance on his rival At the close of the exercises, as Rushing came out of the school house door, young Adams walked up behind him and without a word of warning shot Rushing in the back. Rushing fell off the porch, and Adams shot him twice after he had fallen, infiicting fa- tai wounds.
 Adams then shot Greeley Jones, the teacher of the district, infiicting a slight wound in the shoulder, after which he escaped.

HAVANA'S HEALTH
To Purge City By Destroying
 Infected Mosquitos.
OCCUPATION OF THE PLACE

By Americans Has Proved Beneficial
 The Number of Deaths Has Rapidly
 Decreased Under The American Ad-
 ministration.
 Washington, March 22.-An interest ing statement concerning the health conditions in Havana since the Amer ican occupation of Cuba, with speclai reference to the vital statistics for the calendar year 1901. has been made public by the insular division of the war department. Particular atten- tion is paid to the purging of the city from yellow fever during the past year by the destruction of infected mosquitoes It is of vast import ance, the statement says, that these facts should be made known to the world extensively and as rapidly as possible. During the past 45 years, with scarcely an exception, some deaths have occurred from yellow fe- yer in every month of the year; the maximum, 2,O5S deaths, taking place in 1857; the minimum, 51 deaths, in 1866, with the average 751. The num- Der of other infectious and contagious diseases has been small during the calendar year 1901. There has been very little diphtheria and typhoid fe- yer, and the tuberculosis rate is about that of most cities of civilized coun- tries. A great decrease has taken place since American occupation. A marked decrease in malaria also has occurred since the mosquito work be- ban.
 I'l.e statement concludes as follows.
 ''The army took cha:;se of the health department of 1avana when deaths were occurring at the rate of 21,252 per year. It gives it up with deaths Oc- curing at the rate of 5,720 per year. It took charge with smallpox epidemic for years. It gives it up with not a single case having occurred in the city for over IS months. It took charge with yellow fever epidemic for two centuries. It found Havana feared as a thing unclean by all her neighbors of the United States and quarantined as too dangerous to touch, or even to come near anything that she had touch ed, to the untold financial loss of both Havana and the United States. It has established the fact that yellow fever is only transmitted by certain species of mosquito, a discovery that in it's power for saving human life. is only excelled by Jenner's great dis covery and as time goes on it will stand in the same class as that great boon . 10 mankind.
 ''The army has stamped out this dis ease in it's greatest stronghold, there having been only five deaths in the last nine months of the past year and no deaths and no cases during the last three months of the same year; and it has demonstrated a system by which yellow fever can be certainly controlled without interference to commerce."

 Rain Last Year.
Families Now are Subsisting on Acorns Efforts Being Made to Raise Contri-

 the Suffering People.

the SuHerlng People.
 Kansas City, Mo-. March 22.-In an effort to relieve the condition of set tiers in the drouth-stricken section of northern Arkansas, steps were taken yesterday at the livestock exchange to raise contributions to purchase proyis- ions for the suffering people. A gem eral appeal is to be made to the people of Kansas City.
 deplorable story of want and des- titution was brought from Arkansas by A. l.. Doss of Sharp county, one of the five counties in which the suffering is most intense.
 He says: E'Since last April there has not been q good rain in our section. What little vegetation the sun did not dry up was nipped by the fall frosts. l myself tried to raise peas, kaffir corn and turnips, which, better than corn and wheat, can stand d drouth, but even those were a failure. The kaffir corn grew only q foot high and the peas not more than six inches. The people had absolutely no source of in come. They have had neither food nor water for their stocks. and finally, when reduced to the extremity. where they had no food for themselves. were forced to sell their cattle, horses and mules. Their present condition can hardly be described. Many families have subsisted for days on acorns alone"
 The drouth condition extends north ward across the Missouri line from Ar kansas.

TRAIN DISPATCBER'S ERROR.
Came Near Being The Cause oi
 a Bad Collision.

The Operator Gave Two Trains the
 Right of Way on the Same Track
 Discovered His Mistake and Secur-
 ing an Engine Made Race After
 One of the Trains, Overriding it
 Just i'll Time-
 Indianapolis, Ind, March 22.-A mad race with q switch engine after fast freight train which had been given the right of way and was drawing closer every moment upon another train, which was advancing under similar orders, is the method utilized to pre- vent wreck on the Baltimore &5 Ohio Southwestern railroad.
 The dispatcher at Washington gave fast freight at Shoals the right of way over another fast freight which was at Washington east bound.
 The orders put both trains on the main line with the right of way. A few moments after the east bound train pulled out the dispatcher discov- cred his mistake, and abandoning his instruments flew to the railroad yards and demanded an engine. One was standing on the track and in moment it was switched to the main track, the throttle thrown open and the race began to overtake the rapidly moving train. It happened to be a long and exceedingly heavy train, and ten miles out from Washington the red lights on the caboose were distin- guished
 Every available pound of steam was crowded on and the engine came up behind the train just before it reached 9 way station where it was run in on switch. The loss of another minute would have brought the two trains to- gether.
