LEGATION.
Following this conference, Chair
man Thomas, of the Erie road, and
President Truesdale, Of the Lacka-
wanna, were closeted with ]. P. Nor
gan at the latter's Office. Mr.. Morgan
would not talk about the situation,
nor would he say anything regarding
Secretary Roots visit to him last
Saturday.
Governor Odell made this signifi-
cant remark at the Fifth Avenue hotel
last night:
II believe that the coal strike Is
nearer to a definite settlement than
It has been since it started"
The governor would make no ex-
PLANTATION Of the reasons for his be-
lief further than to say: In my opin-
ion this week will see an end Of It"
Although no definite information
can DO obtained, it is believed thai
Governor Oden was yesterday mora
Ing in conversation with both ]. P.
Morgan and President Baer, to the
latter of wnom he SO forcibly out
lined his position Friday. 1t 1s
furthermore the opinion that Gov
ernor Odells recommendation OF
scent per ton Increase for the miners
and recognition of the union will be
the basis of settlement, although the
latter may be avoided in part by ask
ing the men to come back to work
at the advanced prices without any
agreement that they must leave their
organizations, but also without any
stipulation that the union will be
recognized as body.
Rumors that the strike was ended
were heard in financial circles, and
in the closing hour the stock market
rallied very generally from its early
culated for the most part by broker
age houses with western connections.
The conservative element paid little
heed, and denials Of a settlement
were authorized by. representatives
Of the Lackawanna and the Ontario
and Western roads.
In all probability the operators will
hold their regular weekly meeting In
this city today. President Baer is
epected to attend. Whether or not
this meeting will produce any results
is, at this time, matter Of conjec
ture.
odelI Makes signific@t Statement.
Governor Odell, after reaching the
hotel at 2:30 o'clock yesterday after
noon, refused to see any visitors.
So far as any Legislative extra SEES
sion goes, it may be said on authority
that If called, will be merely to pro
vide money for the purchase Of coal
at higher rates for the public institu
tions, and possibly to appropriate
money Tor the relief of the poor. But
although the legislature might be
called together for these purposes, ii
is in the power Of the governor, while
it is in session, to send in special
message, calling for revocation Of
franchises of such roads in the state
as obtained their franchise for the
avowed purpose of providing coal to
the people.
1t is said, however, that the regu-
lar meeting Of the railroad presidents
today the governor will be invited to
again present his views. That his
views have not changed since Friday
is well known.

Father Dmcey Calls Screen Scene IN
d" The School for Scandal Vaclous.

The Rev Thomas Ducey preached yesterday af-
ternoon to the New York Chapter of the Actors
Church Alliance, in St. Leos Church. Many theat-
rical people were present, including ProtestantS
and Hebrews Father Ducey has been one OF INC
chaplains OF the order since Its organization
Father Ducey made announcement OF the
special matinee of Mary of Magdala" at the Man
haitian Theatre next Thursday afternoon for the
benefit Of the alliance. He added: II was asked II
there would be any objection to my making such
an announcement The Archbishop of New-foFk
does not permit US TO go the theatre, but L can
see no objection to my making this announcement
It has always been customary to make announce
1nent of benefits for charities, and no reason
why :. benefit for the actors themselves should
not be announced.
In beginning his sermon Father Ducey said:
L realize, and so does the CatholiG Church that
the Stage and the theatre should be an exalted exalted
and purifying teaching factor in civic and natohal

best work and to reprove 1t when 1t Is iecessI4 j

Father Ducey made an apology for what ne
# finctiv understood that his criticism OF
drama was not due TO any want Of the related 9ual
he himself had abundant share. He denounced
in general al plays IN wv which , marta la r
laid bare He quoted from theatrical the
girls to go to, adding Il quite agree with him as
to some theatres and some plays ,,--
play by name, except The School for Scandal" i?
which he denounced the vicious screen scene
He denied that the exposition OF immoral actions
was due to any devotion TO truth or eXperlelce
but he declared instead that the selection Of such
themes was due purely TO a desire TO make money.
He specially excepted from his caticism the
actors and actresses VINO appeared in these plays.
who. he said. merely got bare existence He
continued:
Those who build and manage theatres do it solely
for money They know the tastes of their Gus
TONER'S and. I may add. they pander those
tastes. A theatre conducted III a way to be safe
for the morals of youth would pay. The claim
that the theatre is school of morals Is false. In
its evil days The theatre sinks the bottom of the
scale of decency and in its best days ii is scarcely
to be commended. It endeavorS to meet the de-
mandE of its patrons, and the derland OF what
is called the best society is very frequently that of
the worst society. ] ashamed OF my fellow
