AN APPEAL TO CIVIC TRIBUNAL.
Miners Make the First Request for
Its Services,


Indianapolis. Ind, Jan. 26.-Probably
the first formal appeal to the Peace
committee recently appointed at New
York under the auspices of the Ma
uonal Civic Federation for the settle
ment of all labor disputes, of which
Senator Hanna is chairman and on
which prominent capitalists. labor
leaders and prominent citizens have
consented to serve, will be made by
the anthracite miners, who will ask
the committee to assist them in ar
ranging a conference with the opera
tors of the district in regard to the
scale for the coming year.
This plan was adopted, it is under
stood, at the conference of the anthra-
cite miners Saturday.
President Mitchell of the Mine Work
ers is member of the Peace Commit
tee on behalf of the wage earners, and
he, it is understood, suggested
the plan of appealing to the
committee. The committee, COM
posed of President Mitchell and
District Presidents Duffy, Nicholas
and Fahey of the Anthracite Field, APP
pointed by the anthracite miners, will
draw up resolution in accordance
with this plan, it is understood.
If the committee will really exercise
itself in behalf of the coal miners with
the operators of the anthracite district
there Is no doubt, the miners say. that
an agreement as to the scale will be
reached, as well as the recognition of

Herbivorou. Flesh Eaters.

FROM the London Express. ,
While scientists and people in gen
erai are discussing the merits of vege-
tarianism for men, a German has been
making some observations on this sub
ject among animals.
Certain monkeys, which are usually
strict vegetarians, occasionally go
down to the shores and have a feast Of

Vegetarlanism and exhibit liking for
young birds.
But a departure of this sort seems
less remarkable than a development OF
taste for flesh on the part OF horse,
for example. Yet there have been
horses that were truly carnivorous

though horses usually show great re-
pugnance to the sight and smell Of

as fertilizer.
Fish eating is not uncommon among
horses, particularly Shetland ponies.
A herd of 1870 of them, when taken to
America recently. had TO be ''pastured"
for a time ON the beach TO satisfy their
craving for fish and seaweed. They
were gradually weaned and accustomed
to the usual fare of horses. but they
retained their liking for fish, and trans

chicago, Jan. 26.-Representatives of
.he 200 900 Poles living in Chicago met
IN FIVE mass-meetings in different parts
of this city tonight to protest against
the alleged cruelties of Prussia in her
Polish province. Nearly all of the
sneakers maintained that the final eff
fort of the Prussian officials was to
crush out even the language of Poland
and that this eliminating effort of the
German officials in Prussia was imbued
solely with hatred and contempt for the
Poles they rule. 1t was told how chill
dren, logged by German teachers for
saving their prayers in their native
language, had been arrested and
thrown into prison, together with their
parents who voiced protest. These
and other indignities recited, caused
the deepest feeling, and strong words
against Prussia were voiced on every
hand.
Resolutions of protest were adopted
at each meeting and will be forwarded
to the Prussian government.

Indians Murdered Him for Causing

Vancouver, B. c., Jan. 26.-The
steamer Tees has arrived from the
North with news of the arrest of two
Indians, charged with the recent muir
der of a Japanese, in connection with
the tribal war at Metlakatla between
Indians of rival villages. From the
statement of the prisoners it appears
that they had blamed the Japanese, or
a man living with him, for practicing
sorcery, to which they ascribed the
death of several of their tribe. By way
of revenge they killed Kamamura, a
japanese, in the belief that his death
would save the rest of the tribe from
the consequence of his witchcraft.
