be operated was discussed, but neither in the constitution nor in any known law could any legal warrant be found for such action though the the discussion on such lines even went so far as the consideration as to how properties could be relinquished and control surrendered after the object of supplying coal had been accomplished, assuming the federal government could intervene through re- , ceivers The tenor of the whole discus sion was to the effect that there was a lack of the power in the federal admin istration to take any action at the pres ent stage of the strike although the seriousness of the coal famine now and much greater evil to follow were consid- cred at length and with a wish to dis cover some method of ending the indus trial deadlock.
 Governor Cranes presence naturally brought into prominence the proceedings begun in the Massachusetts courts to se- cure the appointment of receivers for the coal properties, but the opinion was ex- pressed that the situation could not be met successfully by this method.
 Strike Must Be Settled.
 During the day advices were received that the strike might be settled by the operators and miners themselves, and 1t was suggested that nasty interference of any kind by the federal government might prevent the consummation of a strike settlement if any such were ma turing. While recognizing the futility of efforts to end the strike that could ac- complish nothing, 1t was stated that the President was anxious that the end of the strike should be brought about at the earliest possible moment, and that if the attorney general or any other mem- Der of the cabinet could devise a method by which the President could proceed, that he would not hesitate to adopt 1t, unless meanwhile assurances of a settle ment were received. After today's meet ing Governor Crane left Washington for Massachusetts.

The secretary left for New York Monday afternoon. after short conference at the White House, when the same men were present who were at todays conference.
 It has been intimated that the Pres ident may send for the managers of the coal properties. but this will not be done until after the conference tomorrow and perhaps not then.

GOVERNMENT CANNOT
 INTERFERE IN STRIKE
investigation of President Roosevelt Leads Opinion That There is No Federal Law to Stop the IroubIe-Conter-
 ence Will be Continued This Morning

Washington, September 3o.-The Presl- dent today took initiative steps to ascer- tain if anything could be done by federal authority to settle the coal strike.
 The result was a rather general ex- pression of opinion by the advisers of the President, who were parties to to- days conference, to the effect that the federal laws and constitution did not af- ford means of federal interference to end the strike, but another conference will be held tomorrow and the President will do all he can properly and legally to bring about a settlement.
 At the temporary white house a confer ence was held with three cabinet officers, Attorney General Knox, Secretary Moody and Postmaster General Payne. Cover nor Crane of Massachusetts also was present. These gentlemen met with Pres ident Roosevelt first and after the sub ject had been considered for some time they adjourned to another room and con- ferred together for an hour They all returned later in the day and held an- other conference with the President and the strike situation was discussed fur ther. President Roosevelt is deeply con- cerned over the situation. The approach ; IL and the distress and suffering that must ensue unless coal becomes available, pre- sents 8 situation which he thinks should receive the attention of the administra- tion if there is anything that can be done by the government. Many appeals have been made to him and many suggestions have been received by him and 1t was with a view to ascertaining what power the federal authorities could evoke that causued the conference to be held.
 No Federal Troops.
 During the conference every phase of the situation was discussed. The gen. eral opinion of the advisers of the Presi- dent was that the situation did not pre- sent a case in which there could be fed eral interference by any warrant of law. There has been no interference with fed- eral authority in the mining region either by stoppage of the mails or resistance of the United States court process. It was pointed out that there was no occasion for the use of Federal troops as Cover nor Stone of Pennsylvania had not called on the government for assistance, nor had he exhausted the resources of the state by calling out the full strength of the state militia The question of the right to seek appointment of receivers for the mines in order that they might

AH EW YORK, September 3O.-The kA stock market which closed ut k v terly demoralized as a result of stringent monetary conditions and other unfavorable circumstances made a sem sational recovery today The chief cause for the complete reversal were the action of Secretary Shaw in removing the re- straint on bank reserves, the persistent reports from various quarters that the coal strike had at last reached the point where the negotiations for settlement were actually under way. For this last rumor there appeared to be little or no foundation according to the individual and collective statements of the leading operators made after the regular weekly meeting.
 Another influence for better prices was the decline in call money rates. though during the morning loans were made as high as 19 per cent. A large part of the days loans was made at around 10 per cent and the rate at tue close went down to but this was really nominal, no money being placed at that figure.
 Opening prices were better all the way from a fraction to points. Wide oper- ations in which blocks of 200o. 5000 and 5000 shares changed hands, were numer- ous. The greatest gains were in the standard railway shares, notably St Paul, Louisville and Nashville (which

Some weeks ago we saw the question
asked in the Needles Eye, "Who is
Uncle Josh?" Later we saw the same
thing in the Arrow, of Kingman. Last
week the Williams News was asking
the question. Now, for the benefit of
these papers and the fraternity at large
we will state that "Uncle Josh" is a
faker OF the most pronounced type.
His forte is stereotyped write-up Of
the business houses of town, which is
to appear in the local paper. The
faker has but to insert the name of the
house, all the other matter being
stereotyped slush of the most amateur
ish design. Before the matter gets to
print your "Uncle Josh" proceeds to

The blowing up of the assay offices
of Cripple Creek is but one of the
many acts Of lawlessness to which that
camp has been subject. These assay
offices, to be sure, have to great ex-
tent, been in league with the ore steal
ers and the fact is they may have been
destroyed by these same ore stealers
in a spirit of revenge for the manner
in which they we're held up in the pur-
chase of the stolen ores. Many of the

Education of Indians.

may not be that the officials i'm charge
OF the Indian schools are immoral, but
the manner In which the Indians are
turned out of the institutions place
them on the high road to immoral end.
We can give many illustrations of this
fact. few years ago several Indians

graduated from the Indian school at
