ANMIRAL CASEY
is AT THE BAT
Trying to Bunt Some Horse Sense
Into the Heads of Colom-
bians.

Panama, Oct. IA conference be-
tween the government representatives
and Rear Admiral Casey took place
Wednesday. The admiral said subse-
quently that the object of the confer.
ence was to see if the government and
the revolutionists could come TO some
agreement or arrange the basiS for
such an agreement. He could not saw
much on the subject. for he had heard
only one side of the questions. He
considered, however. that the terms Of
fered in President Maroquin's amnesty
decree were liberal.
His only idea in comforting with the
authorities here was TO end the strife.
which he considered unpatriotic. for il
not only ruins the country. but de-
lays the steps being taken looking TO
the completion of the canal. He did
not see. from the arguments that he
had heard, that there was much diff
ference in the principles upheld by
either of the Colombian parties ex-
cept in matters relative to the church
Admiral Casey is studying the terms
which the government offered and in
Al VI lNO WI Sttlu IL COIlIll0lC1-
tion to General Herrera. the revolu-
tionary commander, expressing his
views on the situation. and will pro-
pose that the general hold n confer
ence with General Salazar, the gov
ernment commander.
Admiral Casey received last Satur-
day General Herrera's answer to Com
mander McLean's communication noti-
flying the general that the United
States had assumed control of the rail-
road line, but he would not divulge
the contents of the letter. Il copy of
which he sent to Washington. Accord
ing to report General Herrera's note is
couched in very strong and offensive
language.
Regarding his refusal to allow the
Colombian government to transport
troops on the railroad the admiral said
the United States had taken this ac-
ton I'm order to maintain free transit
He knew General Herrera would not
dare to interfere with trains flying the
United States flag, but he thought that
if the government was permitted to
transport troops or war material along
the line it would be provoking to the
revolutionists. and might cause an in
terruption of traffic. Admiral Casey
will not allow General Herrera to
lombard Panama. and it is asserted
that if the revolutionary gunbOat Pa
dilIa comes within limit assigned by
the United States admiral the latter
viii sink her. On The other hand he
will not permit the. government gun
boats to provoke the Padilla into ven-
turning within the limit referred to.

OLD GALESBURG CITIZEN
Is KILLED AT MONMOUTH

Charles y. Schoonmaker, of Gales
burg, fell under the wheels of n
switch engine at the Monmouth de-
pot just before midnight Thursday.
He was instantly killed and terribly
mangled before the engine could be
stopped. though it was barely NOV
ing when the accident happened.
At the time the platform was
crowded with people who had been at
the carnival and were waiting for
the eastbound train due at 12:O2. The
switch engine was standing at the
west end of the depot and started to
cross the main line to get into the
south yards. Switchmen David Dough-
erty and John w. Lawrence were
standing on the footboard and warm
ed several people as the engine start
ed to move. In some way Mr.. Schoon-
maker stepped from the crowd, and
before he could be caught or the en-
gine stopped he had been knocked
down and run over. The engine stop
ped at once, but not before he had
been rolled some distance and was
terribly mangled. He was taken out
at once, but was dead.
Charles \. Schoonmaker was a man
about 60 years of age, and one of the
old and respected citizens of Gales
burg. He had been employed for
many years as an assistant UNDER
taker by the firm of Kimber & West.

They Want the U. NJ. w. Attacked Under
the Antitrust Law.
New York, Oct 11.-While the poll
ticians yesterday We're trying TO get
the coal baronS to see their way to
concede enough to the Z. NJ. w. to
stop the strike, the authorities at Wash
ington were perusing n document sent
to them by, David Wilcox, vice presi-
dent and legal counsel of the ID. and H.
road. in which he demands that the
legal machinery of the government be
put in motion to put the L. NJ. w.
through the mill of the Sherman anti
trust law, declaring that the u. NJ. w.
is conspiracy TO prevent interstate
commerce Wilcox presents numerous
authorities TO sustain his contention,
which is that:
1.-The coal of the country is the most
important subject of its interstate COM
merce. The Mine Workers association
consists of Il combination of persons
employed in the production of coal in
many states of the Union. Its OBJ
ject and effect are to control the terms
upon which this subject of interstate
commerce may be produced at all
either for state or interstate shipments.
It's direct and necessary effect is that
no coal shall be shipped anywhere
within the country unless it so permits.
This combination, therefore, not mere
ly restrains but destroys interstate
commerce by preventing the existence
of the subject matter of such COM
merce."
After remarking that the view that
the law does not apply in the case is
based upon the contention that this
combination affects only production of
coal within the states and not ship
ments of coal from one state to an
other, Wilcox quotes authorities to
prove that the law does apply, and
adds: Can it be seriously claimed
