PLAN TO END THE COAL STRIKE.
Detroit Business Men Decide to Call
National Convention.

Detroit Business Men Decide to Call
National Convention.
| Without dissenting voice it was de-
cided at a meeting held in the Detroit
| Council chamber to call a national con-
| xention having as it's aim the opening
Of the mines throughout the anthracite
coal regions of Pennsylvania and West
| Virginia. Strong resolutions were adopt
ed calling for the ending of the coal
| strike. 1t was the first practical step in
what is confidently predicted will furnish
a solution of the difficulties at present
existing.
In addition to the adoption of the reso-
lut1ons kilograms were sent to the Gov
errors of score of States asking them
to appoint delegates to the convention,
which it is proposed to hold in Detroit,
while similar action was taken in regard
to the Mayors of all the principal cities
in the States mentioned, the representa-
ton being on a basis of twenty from each
State and ten from each city. The gray
lty of the situation was apparently fully
realized by those in authority.
Contrary to statements of some deal
ers that coal will remain high all winter
even should the strike be settled, comes
the announcement from the coal trust
heads in New York that the prices must
return to the regular October rates as
soon as the strike is over and deliveries
are resumed
The announcement is considered by
some az an indication that an early set
tlement of the strike is expected. The
men who caused the statement to 90 ont
are i'll a position to gain inside informa-
ton concerning the strike. For this rea-
son agents figure that the assurance Of
return to regular prices is forerunner of
the news that the mines are again in OPP

ROB GRAVES BY HUNDREDS.
Ghou1s Operate on Large Scale at Indi-
annapolis Cemeterias

Ghouls Operate on Large Scale at Indi-
annapolis Cemeteries.
The wholesale robbery of graves in the
cemeteries about Indianapolis was
brought to close by the arrest of gang
OF seven negroes. Warrants were also
issued for a prominent physician, the
demonstration of anatomy in a medical
college, in which two stolen bodies were
found about ten days ago; an inferno in
the college. and the white janitor of the
college. Rufus Cantrell one of the ne
groes, made a complete confession and
Implicated the others. He said the DEM
onstrator accompanied the negroes on
several of the graye-robbing expeditions.
Upward of 100 graves, it is said. have
been robbed by the ghouls during the
last three months. The bodies were sold
to different colleges.
The revelations made, the detectives
say, are not only astounding but horri-
Tying. They say that a complete invesL
tlgatlon will show that even the graves
IN Crown Hill, one of the best guarded
cemeteries in the United States, were des-
ecrated by the ghouls. Cantrill said that
he and the other negroes visited Mount
jackson cemetery almost every time any
one was buried in the place. 1--WE pretty
near cleaned that place OUT he said. I
don't believe that we have missed any
body that has been planted there since

are now, however we may try to pima
ourselves to the fact, subjects OF our
fellow subjects in the old country. We
occupy, therefore, a degraded and most
degrading position, and must proceed to
get out of it in some way at the earliest
possible moment. Six millions Of Cana

sight. The longer it continues the more
pitiful will it become. If we cannot Sc
