Sheriff Baxter of Saline county, insist
ing that he did his duty in the alleged
race troubles at the colored school at
Eldorado and was doing all he could
to protect the colored people. The
governor responded that the state

agree. The governor says the sheriff
having failed to bring back those
frightened away and assure them of
protection he will take up the matter
himself.

ENTIRE GOAL BELT QUIET
Visit of Mitchell to New York Con-
tinues to Arouse interest-Michi-
gan Operators Present Ultimatum
Civic Federation Thinking to Ex-
tend Cooperation to Miners.

WilkeSbarre, Pa, July S.-The be-
ginning OF the ninth week of the strike
shows no change in the situation,
there not being the slightest indica-
ton of either party being ready to
quit. The visit of Mitchell to New
York continues to arouse interest. No
word Of his movements has been re-
ceived here and there is much specula-
ton as to what caused him to go
there. Conditions in and about the
collieries remain unchanged excepting
that the heavy rains have increased
the amount of water in many mines.
The entire coal belt generally is very
quiet, very few men congregating in
the vicinity of the collieries.
Operators Send UItimatum.
Bay City, Mich, July S.-The oper-
ators of Michigan yesterday afternoon
presented their ultimatum to the
miners notifying them that the propo-
sitions submitted at a recent meeting
in Saginaw must be accepted by July
y or they would be withdrawn. At
that meeting the operators and min
ers' committees agreed upon q scale.
The operators say they supposed this
scale was to be voted on at once but
instead the miners deferred action
until July 20. after the national con-
vention. This the operators claim is
bad faith and they want action befo1 e
that date.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, July S.-Harry
White, the New York member of the
civic federation's Cancellation commit
tee was here yesterday White said
he came to offer to the miners the
cooperation Of organized labor. He
said the labor leaders have held meet
lngs recently at which the subject was
discussed and he was authorized to
make the offer.

ELECTION FRAUD PLANNED.
An Attempt to Be Made to Get 5000
Fraudulent Votes for Coler.

New York, Nov. 3.-Lieutenant Gov

story that gigantic attempt is to be
made to gain by fraudulent means
1000 votes for Coler. Mr.. Woodruff al
leges that a gang of 1000 we'll dressed
men who are to personate business men
have been employed by two of the
prominent democratic assembly dis
trict leaders of Mania ttan. These men,
Mr.. Woodruff says, are to vote in Man
haitian on other peoples names until
the first trains leave for Albany and
Troy. Then they are to go to those
cities and vote as often as they are per-
anitted. In this way, Mr.. Woodruff says,
fully 5000 fraudulent votes are expect
ed to be cast for Bird s. Coler for gov
ernor.
"Of course" said Mr.. Woodruff, this
is astounding. Most people had sup
posed that the days of wholesale re-
peating were over, but 1t appears that
these two democratic leaders of Man
haitian are willing to take any risks,
Albany and Troy are pretty sure to go
republican this year and are accessible
to New York. This thing used to be
done years ago, before the election law
was made SO strict"

vent the carrying out of the plot.
