Fireman Keiser Released.

Fireman KeiSer, who was jailed two
weeks ago because he will not allow
his children to attend school, has been
released.
Fireman usually comes out ahead
Notwithstanding the belief that bis
mind is somewhat unbalanced.
He was sent to the insane asylum
several years ago, but it only took him
about two days to convince the doctors
there that he had more sense than
those who believed him crazy, and
they sent him home.
Since that time he has been doing
about as he pleases, interpreting all
laws to suit himself, and refusing to
send his children to school because he
believes all schools, public, private
and religious are inventions of the
devil.
Fireman Keiser has a religion of bis
own. DE Is somewhat in advance
of Dowie or Christian Science SO call
ed, although like them he believes in
healing by faith and faith only, and
believes, also, that he has the assist
ance of higher power in all that he
undertakes.
AS keeping him in Jail did not send
his children to school, the authorities
became anxious to get him out and be
was released with all fines and costs
remitted and will no doubt enjoy
reading what the Chicago papers say
about him; for Notwithstanding bis
aversion to schools now, he went tc
school when he was q boy and learned
to read.

IndianIans in Utah.

The Indiana man seems to be con-
siderably in evidence in Utah. AT
the recent democratic state conven-
tion the chairman of the state COM
mittee delivered a speech in which he
Said
what convention the republican
convention was. 1t was an Indiana
annex, for its principal work was done
by carpet-baggers from Indiana. It's
platform was written by an editor
from Indiana. It's candidate for
supreme judge was nominated by a
lawyer from Indiana, the Cuban plank
was knocked out on motion of rail-
road attorney from Indiana. and its
doctrine was expounded by 1.-THE
Gentleman from Indiana. When
one reads the proceedings he is no
longer myStitied as to why Indiana is
always in the column of doubtful
states"
1t is gratifying to know that In
diana republicans who emigrate to
new states remain true to the faith,
and 1T is not surprising to learn that
they come to the front. The speaker
was behind the times, though, in
designating Indiana as a doubtful
state. Notwithstanding the large
number of republican missionaries and
voters it has sent west, it was never a
less doubtful state than it is at pres

Hon. Carroll d. Wright, United
States commissioner Of labor, who was
the chief speaker on the opening day
of the capital and labor convention at
Minneapolis, is of opinion that there
can be no mutual settlement of the
anthracite coal strike. He thinks the
strike will collapse within four weeks,
and that the men will lose. He also
thinks that failure of the strike will
be followed by the organization of a
separate union of anthracite miners.
He thinks this will put the miners on
a better basis for negotiations in the
future

Receiver 10 Asked by Boston Citizens for

Boston, Sept. pa committee Of
citizens, headed by the publisher of a
Boston newspaper. Saturday sought re-
lief in the courts from the present
coal shortage and high prices by ask
ing for a receiver for the coal CON-
panies and coal-carrying roads. A

and with such agents and servants,
and with such rates of wages and 9TH
'er conditions of employment, and at
such prices for goods produced and
sold, as the court shall from time to
time adjudge proper.
The bill is based upon the legal the
DRY of the coal situation given by H
w. Chaplin, lawyer. Chaplin says
in support of his position: Since
public have a right in the mines
right to have coal forthwith mined Z
immediate consumption-and have a
right to have that coal Immediately
transported out of the mine regions
by the coal-carrying roads, court

The government is about to offer

once reyolutionized naval warfare.
The Philadelphia Press suggests that
one or more of these vessels Of an OBJ.

commend the suggestion. The few
hundred dollars that the government
would realize from the sale of one OF
the monitors would not be felt in the
Federal Treasury. To destroy the

1t is fair proposition that every
man who receives all the advantages
which local government affords-pub-
lie schools, protection of life and
property, the use of streets with cost
ly sewerS-shOuld contribute some
thing to the support of the govern
ment which provides these advant-
ages at the public expense. For that
reason the poll tax should not be

President Guarded From Congressmen.

An incident not down on the pro-
gram of the committee Of arrange
ments Tuesday morning showed with
what watchfulneSS President Roose-
velt was guarded while on his trip.
Congressman Charles Lands was one
of those on tie stand and AMONG the
first with whom the president shook
hands. He had been in public life
long enough for most people to know
him but that didn't make any differ
ence to the secret service
1t happened as the President went
to his carriage after the speaking that
Lands walked near him. On the
sloping, rain-soaked lawn, the con-
greSslonal feet became tangled and he
slid abruptly toward the President,
one hand put out to steady himself
The next instant he found himself
turning hand springs in the gutter and
clutching his Fedora hat in an effort
to regain his balance. For an instant,
while sliding down the lawn, his mo-
mentum had carried him between the
secret service man and Roosevelt.
That was against the rules and the
detective hadn't time or Instructions
to discriminate. His elbow was in
Landis'S ribs in an instant and the
portly congressman from the Tenth
district was projected toward the sky
line like a ping.pong ball.-Logans-

MITCHELL AND BAER
U. M. w. President Replies to Re-
cent Statements of the
Reading President.
GALL FOR TROOPS Is REPUDIATED
Sheriff Says He Asked for None-More
Cavalry Ordered Out-Boston
Men Go into Court for
Relief.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Sept. 29.-Some of
the local coal operators, after being
shown copy of the statement issued
by President Mitchell yesterday, say
ii will probably be the last he will give
to the public before the ending of the
strike. They say that his appeal is
made up of generalities. Atstrike head
quarters Mitchelrs- latest deliverance
is termed ''ten strike" and it is
stated that the facts and figures he
presents are irrefutable. The military
authorities, Sheriff Jacobs and some of
the superintendent of the coal COM
panies in this vicinity held a meeting
in the office of one of the coal COM
panies Saturday evening and talked
over a plan by which the troops can
be moved promptly to scenes of dis
turbance.
Purpose of the Militia
1t is not the purpose of the military
to do police duty, but if any of the COM
panies can get men to go to work the
soldiers will give them protection. 1t
is reported again that attempts will be
made today to resume work at several
collieries in this region which have
been idle since the strike began, but
the report cannot be verified. At
strike headquarters it was claimed that
there will be no change in the situa-
ton this week, which is the twenty
first of the strike; that the strikers are
as firm as ever, and that there will be
no desertions from the ranks to make
it possible for the coal companies to
start up any new colleries.
Another Troop Ordered Out
Harrisburg. Pa. Sept. 29.-Governor
Stone yesterday ordered the Sheridan
troop. of Tyrone, to report to General
Goblin for duty in the anthracite strike
territory. The troop left Tyrone last
evening by special train.
Says His Name Was Unauthorized.
Shenandoah, Pa, Sept 29.-Sheriff
Knorr, of Columbia county, says he did
not sign nor authorize his name to be
signed to the telegram which was sent
to Governor Stone asking that troops
be sent to Centralia, and the miners
leaders here. headed by Terence Gin
ley, of the executive board, have tele-
graphed the governor to that effect,
and to guarantee the surrender to the
authorities of all accused persons.
Gobin's Say in the Controversy.
Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 29.-Governor
Stone called up General Goblin by tele-
phone last night and advised him that
he had received telegram from Shen-
andoah advising him that the call for
troops to Columbia county was for
gerry. General Goblin replied that the
sheriff's call for soldiers was authentic,
and that Sheriff Knorr had sent his
deputy to him (Gobin) for troops.

JOHN MIrCHELL's STATEMENT
He Rep,ies to Baer's Allegations Relative
to the Coal Strike.

to the Coal Strike.
Philadelphia, Sept. 29.-John Mitch
ell. president of the United Mine
Workers, has written a statement In
reply to recent utterances Of Baer,
president of the Reading railway.
Mitchell says in part: Mr.. Baer states
that the wages paid in the anthracite
coal regions are, compared with the
wages paid in like employment, fair
and just By like employment Mr.
Baer must refer to bituminOus coal
mining. 1 am willing and prepared to
demonstrate that wages in the bitumin-
Gus coal fields are from 20 to 40 per
cent. higher than those paid for SINH
lar classes Of work in the anthracite
fields" He then present figures to
prove that assertion, and adds that
the danger in anthracite mines to life
is greater than in bituminous.
Mitchell says: There are other
statements of Mr.. Baer which are
equally incorrect; among these is his
assertion that the miners only worked
from four to six hours per day. and
his further assertion that the lowest
scale of wages was So cents for boy
slate pickers' If Mr.. Baer desires L
shall gladly furnish him with the
names and addresses of thousands of
slate pickers, each of whom received
much less than So cents per day, and
/ shall be willing to have the returns
verified by the companies pay rolls.
THE next misstatement of Mr.. Baer
to which l shall give notice is that
which claims that for some mysteri-
Gus reason the miners restricted the
output of the mines. Mr.. Baer claims
that in this manner the product Of
the collieries has been reduced about
1215 per cent. and that in the case
of the Reading company it amounted
to more than 1,0OO,0O tons.'"
Mitchell then quotes figures from Of
fetal reports and The Engineering and
Mining Journal to show that this
statement is wide of the truth, and
that even the per capita output was
increased, not diminished.
He also denies that the United Mine
Workers seeks to interfere with the
management of the coal properties,
that the organization is lawless, and
that the companies cannot pay the in
crease demanded. He declares that
the hired guards are lawless, how
ever, and that their acts are charged
to the miners. He declares the state
ment that the 40 per cent of the coal
mined being less in the market than
the case Of mining misleading, be-
cause 1t leaves out of account the coal
that is sold, for which the miners re-
ceive no pay.
He closes with the declaration that
the fight is not so and for the present
generation of miners as it is for the
little children ''prematurely doomed to
the whirl of the mill and the noise and
blackness of the breaker" to
win life for the child and secure for
it place In the world in keeping with
advancing civilization"
