EP1sTLE WAS NEVER MAILED
Bodies Will Probably be Buried at
Expense of the
County.

The bodies of the two men shot by
Mate Breen, of the steamer Dubuque.
are still at the Boies undertaking
rooms in Davenport, where they
were viewed yesterday by hundreds
of men, women and children, ali in
tent upon seeing the faces of the sim
gular persons who met death in so
tragic manner. The morbid curios-
ity that many people have in regard
to the bodies of slaughtered persons
could be studied by any one that sat
in the office of the undertaking es-
Establishment and saw the little girls
and women of all degrees of appar-
cnt intelligence and refinement enter
the street door and ask the question:
Can we see the dead men?"
The first impression the observer
of this procession received was one
of amazement. which tapered down
to mild establishment when he found
the question repeated by hundreds
and discovered that such manifesto
tions of curiosity were not confined
to few individuals nor any one
class of people.

and justly administered in accordance
with their spirit and intendment by
those who treat every applicant for a
pension with distrust, regard his at
torney as fraud and brand the exam

dishonest.

on the part of those intrusted with the

'Hailing from widely separate

President to Try Again.
No comment was made concerning
the letter Of Mr.. Mitchell by officials
at the White House althou Z I can be
said that the president has TO- ex.
hausted all efforts in bri'7 2i-4u, lbout
an end to the strike. Nothing can be
learned as to the future intentions of
the president in this matter and it is
stated that the time has not yet come
to disclose the purpose of the admins
tration. This naturally gives rise to
speculation as to what may be the
next move, as it was understood that
the administration had done about
everything possible in bringing the
operators and the miners together and
in the appeal made to Mr. Mitchell.
The executive council of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor is consider
ing the anthracite coal situation and
will issue an appeal to the public for
aid for the strikers. 1t is said that
Mr.. Gompers and Mr.. Mitchell were
in communication during the day,
though the former refused to answer
questions along that line.

Washington, Oct. 10.-President
Mitchell Of the coal miners union has
refused to comply with the appeal OF
President Roosevelt to call the strike
off. His letter to the president, which
was made public at the White House
during the day, says the responsibility
for the continuation of the strike
should be placed upon those who have
refused arbitration. President Mitch
ellis letter is as follows:
"Hon. Carroll D. Wright has, no
doubt, reported to you the delivery Of
your message to me last Monday and
my statement to him that l should
take your suggestion under advise

with favor.
"Since that time l have consulted
with our district presidents who con-
cur fully in my views.
I'VE desire to assure you again
that we feel keenly the responsibility
of our position and the gravity of the
situation and it would give us great
pleasure to take any action which
would bring this coal strike to an end
in manner that would safeguard the
interests of our constituents.

in his address that as soon as the re-
port was brought to President Roose
yelt's notice the resignation OF Com
missioner Evans was accepted.
The investigation was conducted in
Washington and the committee be-
gan their repest by saying that Com
missioner Evans afforded them every
opportunity to make it thorough.
Speaking of the results Of their in
quiry into special complaints they say
that many Of these complaints were
without merit, but that on the other
hand many meritorious claims had
been thrown out.
"From a personal investigation"
they say, eve are convinced that
scores of claims are rejected every
day that should be allowed The re-
sponsibility for these reflections is
laid principally at the door Of the med
ical division of the pension bureau.
On this point the report says:
