Secretary Root had a brief conference
with the President, and his name was
mixed during the day with the alleged
White House conference. He was not with
the President at the same time as Secre-
tary Hay. Later in the day Secretaries
HAY and Root, it is reported, discussed
Venezuelan affairs at the State Depart

Don't Like the Looks Of Things.
Senators and representatives calling on
the President absolutely refused to discuss
the Venezuelan affair for publication, but
privately many of them said they did not
like the looks Of the whole affair, and
gravely intimated that Uncle Sam might
yet have to interfere. One prominent sem
ator said to Star reporter today: Are
those two big countries to be allowed to do
as they please in Venezuela? Is the Mon
roe doctrine to be violated, even Indirect
ly." Senator Cullom himself, as prudent
and cautious as he is, does not exactly feel
that his sympathies will permit him to
think England and Germany are acting
just exactly right, but he is in such a posi-
ton that he cannot give open expression
to his views.
A Rumor at the Capitol.
Late this afternoon the rumor was cur
rent at the Capitol that the United States
government had addressed notes to the
British, German and Venezuelan govern
ments requesting information as to the
latest moves in the war game and that
the information would be laid before Con-
gress when received.
The statement was freely made that I'M
less the State Department furnishes Con-
gress with the status of affairs it will be
impossible to keep down resolutions of in
quiry owing to the general restlessness Of
men of both parties in Congress.

Washington. Oct ia decision of
sweeping Importance to ticket scalp

District of Columbia, who permanently
~ enjoined thirty-three of the local
ticket brokers from selling the Grand
Army special excursion tickets issued
by the Pennsylvania, Southern, Balti-
more and Ohio and Chesapeake and
Ohio ra- roads. The defense of the
brokers is that they are pursuing a
legal licensed brokerage business and
that the railroads in combining IN the
establishment of joint ticket agency

issuing of return tickets violated the
Sherman antitrust law. The courts
held that the tickets sold by the roads

.chasers in the presence of witness
and were absolutely void when used
by any other than the original pur-
chasers. The tickets distinctly read
that any one except the original pur-
chasers attempting to use them would
be subject to prosecution for forgery.
The contract signed by the original
purchaser is absolute. according to the
court, and any violation Of it cousti-
tuted fraud, on which the suit at Fhar
for the injunction properly was based.
The court declared that the corsten-
tions OF the complaining roads were

Tracy, Mimi, Oct. 15.-A tragedy re-
sulting in the death of three persons
and serious injury to another occurred
here during the afternoon
Edward Stricken, former resident
OF this place, is the murderer.
Stricken married Miss May Harvey
of this place. Matrimonial troubles
ensued and two years ago Stricken and
his wife separated. Their only child
was left with the mother.
A few months ago Stricken took the
chill from the mother. He returned
here last week with the boy and has
since been in town. During the after
noon he followed his wife into the fur
niture store of Frank McCallister and,
pulling a,revolver from his pocket, shot
. and killed his wife and little boy. He
then fired another shot, presumably al
his father-in-law, L. H. Harvey, who is
an employe of McCallister, but the bull
let struck McCallister, tearing out one
jaw.
Stricken then turned the revolver on
himself and ended his own life.
McAllister, the wounded storekeeper,
fingered for about twelve hours and
passed away.
The whole affair occurred within a
space of about five minutes and before

to Discuss the Proposition
That is Made. ,553:

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 15.-PresfdenL
Mitchell was asked at noon by the cor
respondent Of the Associated Press
whether he and the district officers had
the power to consider the operators
plan and end the strike. His reply
was:
Speaking without special reference
to the statement issued by the coal
operators it is a rule Of our organiza-
tion that no settlement can be made by
the officers of the union without the
consent of a delegate convention.
The three district presidents are on
their way here. President Mitchell
will Immediately go into conference
with them on the new offer. The min
ers' chief refused to say whether con-
vention call will be considered at once
or where and when such a meeting, II
held, will take place. He also declined
to say how long it would take to get
the delegates together.
Mr.. Mitchell continues to decline to
answer all questions as to whether he
is for or against the operators plan as
a whole or part. He has not yet re-
ceived official notification of the oper-
ators' desire to arbitrate. y
One of the local leaders who came in
from the outlying territory made this
statement in the hotel lobby: sf
N "The men as a rule are angry at the
proposition made by the operators.
They saw thew would rather go down
to straight defeat than surrender to
the operators on the arbitration plan
they propose" 5a
This, however, must not be taken as
the sentiment. Of all the men. There
are many who see ray of hope in the
situation. A disposition is shown
among many to trust to the good Of
fees OF the president of the United

point blank to talk for publication at
this time on the new proposal for arbi-
tration of the strike laid before Presi-
dent Roosevelt by the presidents of
the coal carrying railroads. No official
information can be had as to his views
and he himself does not know whether
he will make statement later in the
day.
The news of the new offer was vari-
ously received by the striking miners of
the region. It did not become known
until well in the morning and there
were many different views taken by the
men. There IS a large number of mine
workers who favor a rejection of the
offer as formulated by the operators,
while there are equally as many who
see some good in the offer The mir
ers, however, have the greatest conf.
dence in the judgment Of their leader
and it is certain they will leave the
matter in his hands to work out.
The citizens of the region generally
are rejoicing at the new turn OF af-
fairs and feel confident that the step
