ARBITRATION COMMITTEE TO
STUDY PRACTICAL MINING.
MINERS CASE MOST READY
Bishop SpaIding breaches al St. Pc
ter's-Dispute as to Which Mines
Shall Be Visited.

Scranton, Pa, Nov. 3.-The mine
strike commissioners left for Hazelton
tonight to spend four days in further
a%cquainting themselves with the ply
steal features of mining. They had
not decided tonight as to the time of
leaving or how they would divide
their time while in the middle and
lower districts. 1t was definitely de
cided though, that not more than
four days would be devoted to the
trip.
Assistant Recorder Neill was left
behind to receive the miners state
ment from President Mitchell tomor-
row. On Thursday, it is expected
that the operators counter statement
will be presented. The commission
ers will then take a recess until Fri
day, November IA, by which time the
two parties will be expected to have
completed the preparation Of their
cases and be ready to go on with the
hearings. The commissioners will
also devote the interim to prepare
tons for the hearings by a%cquainting
themselves with the details of the
two statements.
Bishop Spalding preached at the
late mass in St. Peters cathedral this
morning. His fellow commissioners
attended the services and occupied
front pews. The bishops sermon was
based on the 10th verse of the 18th
chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the
Romans: Love worketh no ill to
his neighbor; therefore love is the
fulfilling Of the law"
No reference was made to the work
of the commission and only in a most
general way could the sermon be
made applicable thereto.
The members Of the commission
will remain in their sleeping car all
night. They will be met at 9 O'Clock
in the morning at Pond Creek, abou:
nine miles north of Hezelton, by
Thomas Duffy, president of this dis.
trict of the Mine Workers. union, who
will represent the miners. General
Superintendent Warner Of the Lehigh
Valley and General Superintendent
Richards Of the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre
company will represent the operators.
The mines which the commission will
visit have not yet been decided upon.
superintendent Warner has suggest
ed the No. 40 shaft, operated by his
company. The miners prefer to have
the arbitrators inspect the Harwood
c~olliery of Pardee & Co. There are
rs mines in the Hazleton region and
all but No. 40 shaft are entered by
"a of a slope. The commission
ers on Saturday requested both
sides to agree on one mine, and if
they fail the commission will prob
ably decide the matter.

Plains, reaching there at $3.50 this
morning The old mar took the mat
ter very calmly. Mr.. Reed says he
was the most u~nconcerned of any
body at Plains when the news became
known. In company with Colonel Nc
Gowan he at once started for his
home. It is said that there are 80
Indians on the trail and that there is
some prospect of their overhauling the
thief.
G. C. Willis of Plains, who came iii
tonight, says that Michel kept his
money in a box which was concealed
in a small clubhouse back of his dwell
ling. Mr.. Willis says that Michel's
wife later today told more about the
robbery. She says that about 10
o'clock last night a squaw called her
out of the house and talked to her.
The squaw was a stranger and could
not talk Indian very much. While she
was talking with her strange visitor
she saw two men run from the out
house with Michel's strong box in
their arms. They ran to their horses
and the supposed squaw Joined them.
They were all strangers to her.
Mr.. Willis says suspicion points to
three halfbreeds, but it is possible
that the robbers were white men, as
it was generally known about Plains
that Michel had the money at his
house

kENTUcklANs ARE THREATEN
ING AN iNHuMAN FATHER.
He KILLED HIS LITTLE SON
Then Took His Daughter Off to Woods
She Gives Testimony
Against Him.

Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. "a special
from Inez, KY, to the Enquirer says:
Pleasant Spreading, held for the
killing of his 4-year-old son and his
15-year-old daughter, is threatened
with lynching. ~Spreading's family
consisted Of a wife, three daughters
and a son. With mis- daughters and
boy the father vas herding sheep last
Friday. The boy was unable to keep
up with the others. The father plac-
ed him on a stone beside a spring,
telling him to wait until his return.
The boy, becoming tired of sitting
still, began to peel the loose bark off
a tree that overhung the spring.
Presently the father returned and,
noticing the bark on the ground, ask
ed the boy who had done it. The boy
replied that he had.
Il would rather have you dead than
raise you to destroy everything on
the farm" is the reply the father is
said to have made, and then, it is
charged, he picked up a stone and
struck the boy on the head, knocking
him down. Then, it is alleged, he
kicked the PROSTATE baby in the head
until he had killed him. Turning to
his daughters, he threatened them
with a like fate if they ever told what
had occurred. Afterward he went
home and said the boy, while chasing
sheep, had u against a tree and
killed himself.
Becoming alarmed he took his eld-
est daughter and went to the noun
tains. His wife hired %neighbors to
bury the body Of the child and then
vent to the. home of Judge E. HENS
ley. She told him of the death of her
son, and said she suspected her hus.
band, who told her he was going into
the mountain woods to hunt squirrels,
and added that at different times he
had threatened to kill the whole fam
lily. The judge took her with her two
Younger daughters to his home and
presented the case to the grand jury.
One of the little girls told the jury
that her father had kicked the little
boy to death.
Shortly afterward a sheriff's posse
captured Spreading in the mountains,
but his eldest daughter was not with
him. The posse is still searching for
her, while he is held on the charge of
murder.
S%preading's missing daughter turn
ed up today, barefooted and ragged,
after her escape from her father in the
mountains. She was Immediately tax
en- before the grand jury and testified
to how her father killed the boy and
threatened her life and that of her
mother. She testified that he would
have Drained them heretofore but for
the interference of neighbors. Judge
Hensley has the Jail so strongly guard
ed that there is no longer any danger
of lynching. Spreading will be given
a speedy trial.
