Six Lawful Bodies Found in Col
IeRe Picking Vat and Ten Unlnw-
full Ones Under the Cellar Floor.
Indianapolis, Oct. 4.-Sensational de-
velopments came to light this after
noon in the investigation of the whole
sale graveyard robberies that have oc-
CURED in this vicinity during the last
few months, when detectives unearth-
ed ten bodies in the cellar of the Med
ical College of Indiana. A gang of
ten negroes was arrested several days
ago charged with the ghoulish work
and their leader, Rufus Cantreu, since
his arrest has confessed to many OF
the robberies and informed the author
tiles that other gangs have been OPP
Grating in cemeteries in this and adj
joining counties, and that many of the
robberies accredited to his following
really have been committed by Others
People who have recently buried rel
atives in various cemeteries are great
ly excited, and since the developments
of the last few days many graves have
been reopened to see if the caskets
have been tempered with Investiga-
ton in several of these cases has re-
vealed empty caskets. Every medical
college in this city has been thorough
~ searched for the stolen bodies, but
to no avail Six bodies were found in
a picking vat at the Medical College
of Indiana, the officials of this insti-
tuition proving they had been lawfully
obtained and asserting that there
were no other bodies about the
buildings. Detectives went to the coll
iege to-day with search warrant for
the body of Wallace Johnson, which
had been stolen from the grave in the
Ebenezer Cemetery, northeast OF the
city. The college officials were reluc-
tant to allow them to make the search.
The detectives, however, instituted
rigid search of the building, and as a
last resort, raised the floor in the cell
lar. They soon uncovered the remains
of ten bodies. An attempt had been
made to destroy the remains with lime.
The college officials are very indignant
at the latest phase in the situation and
claim the bodies unearthed to-day are
those of subjects dissected by the stu
dents of last year; that some of them
are cadavers which were in the dis
secting room when the building was
burned several years ago. The detec-
tives claim the bodies have been but
recently buried, and that the evidence
of quicklime is very apparent. The
bodies are Of both men and women, but
are in such a state that Identification
is impossible. Search for the stolen
bodies will be continued.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
Congress Will Not Meet Before Its
Usual December Term.

Congress VIII Not Meet Before It's
Usual December Term.
Washington, Oct. 4.-There will be
no call for an extra session of Con-
gress to deal with the coal strike sit
uation at this stage. The President ex-
pressly stated in his appeal to the OPP
orators and representatives of the min
ers yesterday that he did not act Off
cially in calling them together. He
has for the time being exhausted his
individual resources. In his view, the
matter is again one with which the
state of Pennsylvania should deal. If
the commonwealth finds itself unable
to control the situation and appeals to
him through the constitutional chan
nels, the President will be ready to
bring into play the great forces of the
national government, military and
civil. But for the time being, the Pres
ident has relaxed his efforts.
great many radical suggestions
have been made as the result of the
failure of the conference yesterday, and
they include everything from taking
possession of the mines by the gov
eminent, to sending United States
troops to Pennsylvania without regard
to any call from the Governor of that
state. 1t can be positively stated that
none of these suggestions has received
any serious consideration by the ad-
miniStration.

AGAIN Mr.. SHAW.
He Corrects Yesterdays Unfounded
Published Report.

Washington, Oct. 4.-The Secretary
1. sued the following circular to ma
tional banks:
Treasury Department. Office of thu
Secretary, Washington, Oct. A
wholly unauthorized and unfounded re-
port appears to have been sent from
Washington yesterday. calculated to
mislead, with reference to the action
taken by the Secretary of the Trea..-
ury relative to the maintenance of re
serve against government deposits Sc
cured by government bonds. That
there may be no misunderstanding
either as to the law or the action taken
by the department, you are advised:
1.-THE national banking act. as you
are well aware, lays down the rule
that all associations shall maintain
certain reserves against all deposits;
failing to do which the controller of
the currency may notify any associa-
ton to make good such reserve Fail
ing to do which in thirty days, the
controller may, with the concurrence
of the Secretary of the Treasury, ap-
point a receiver etc. The law there
fore lays down the rule that the reserve
shall be maintained, but lodges a dis
erection with the controller and with
the Secretary Of the Treasury as to
the Enforcement of the rule. You are
therefore notified that the rule will not
be inforced as far as it relates to gov
eminent deposits secured by govern
ment bonds.
''It must be borne in mind in this
connection that it is not the intention
Of the department to encourage in
creased credit. On the contrary, great
conservation should be exercised.
But it is the desire of the depart
ment that no worthy business interest
shall suffer simply because a bank has
invested it's money in government
bonds to secure a government deposit.
| and to that extent has relieved the
| treasury from growing surplus and
has thus restricted its capacity to ex-
| tend accommodations.

MITCHELL Is MUM.
Miners President Says Nothing Con-
corning New Proposition.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 4.-President
John Mitchell of the miners union err
rived at strike headquarters tonight.
There was large number of persons
at headquarters waiting to see the
miners chief.
President Mitchell was shown the
Associated Press dispatch from Wash
ington to the effect that it has been
suggested that the miners return to
work, and that Congress and the
Pennsylvania Legislature investigate
the conditions prevailing in the hard
coal field, with the view of recon-
mending remedial legislation, but he
declined to discuss the new PROPOSE
ton in any way. While he did
not indicate what he thought
of the proposed method for end
ing the strike, it is believed
he has made up on that point, but
would rather have the proposition
placed before him in some official way.
It Is the general opinion about strike
Headquarters that the proposition in it,
present form would not be entertained
by a convention of the miners. The
strikers have all along argued they
want some definite concession and no
PROMISES.
There was a rumor here tonight that
the operators on Monday would post
notices at all collieries requesting the
men now on strike to return to work
Mr.. MitchelFs attention was called to
this and his only reply was that the
operators have been making every ef-
fort since the strike started to get the
men to return to work. but have failed.

TO IMPORT ENGLISH COAL.
Mercantile Marine Company Ha,
Arranged for $4,000 Tons.


Arranged for 10000 Tons.
New York, Oct. AT the offices of
]. Pierpont Morgan & Co. this state
ment was given out to-day by Mr..
Steele of the firm:
1T was learned to-day that the In
ternational Mercantile Marine Com
pany has arranged to purchase in Eng
land fifty thousand tons of the best
domestic fuel coal for immediate
transportation to this country. Ship
ments of the coal will begin at once
and be hurried forward as rapidly as
possible, even at the sacrifice of the
company's ordinary business if that
should be found necessary. This coal,
as well as more, if required, will be
used to relieve any suffering or scare
ity that may exist among the poor or
in the public institutions"
Charles Barry a lawyer formerly OF
Chicago, and whose Office is given as
the headquarters of a company claim
ing to control a large acreage of coal
lands in Virginia, West Virginia, Ten
nessee and Kentucky, has written to
President Roosevelt offering the con-
troll of these lands under any condi-
lions the President may suggest. Mr..
Barry claims to be acting in the inter
est of the public. He says, however
that it will be necessary to furnish
the means for the development of these
coal fields, which hitherto have not
been worked to any appreciate extent
The letter was forwarded to the Pres.
ident to-day.

AS A FINAL EFFORT
ANOTHER METHOD SUGGESTED TO
END COAL STRIKE.
WAS DISCUSSED YESTERDAY
nv PRESIDENT AND HIS ADVISERS
AT WHITE HOUSE.

THE suggestion Is That Striking
Miners Return TO Work Now That
Coal Famine May BE Averted and
That Later the Legislature of
Pennsylvania and Congress of
limited states Pass Measures Arbi-
rating the Differences.
washington, Oct. A final effort
with the hope of success, is to be made
n end the coal strike. 1t has been
discussed by the President and some
of his advisers to-day, and while the
idea is still in an uncompleted state
and the final result still uncertain, yet
# offers a method which now seems to
be the only solution of the problem.
The suggestion is made that President
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers
NAV be able to have the men now on
strike return to work in order to avert
the impending disaster which a fuel
famine will cause and that at as early
a date as possible there shall be a
complete investigation by the national
legislature and by the state legislature
of Pennsylvania into the anthracite
coal situation, with a view of bringing
before the public the facts and condi-
lions of the miners, with view to
legislation or recommendations for re-
leving the condition of the min
ers in the near future. While
it is not absolutely possible
TO guarantee such an investigation
there is little doubt that recommends
lions by the President and the execu-
tive of Pennsylvania would be prompt
ly acted upon by Congress and the
Pennsylvania legislature.
Just how President Mitchell will
view this suggestion cannot be stated,
but if is known that he and others full
ly realized that after the statements
By the presidents of the coal roads
yesterday there is little hope of secur-
ing any adjustment with the operators
by which the people of the country may
be supplied with coal. 1t is expected
that President Mitchell Will confer with
his associates and if they can deter
mine that the mine workers may be
fully as much benefited by the course
suggested as by continuing the strike
and causing the widespread suffering
which is sure TO follow deadlock, it
is expected that negotiations will be
opened with a view to carrying out the
new proposition. Much will depend upon
the way the miners view the propose
ton and whether they think 1t will
cause a loss of prestige to the union
from which it cannot recover.

Manila, Oct. Capt. John ]. PERISH
ings column has completely routed the
Macin Moros in the Island of Min
danao. killing or wounding a hundred
of them and capturing and destroying
forty forts. Two Americans were
wounded.
On Tuesday the Moros retired to
their largest and strongest fort on
the Lake Shore and Wednesday Capt.
Pershing attacked them with artillery,
bombarding the enemy for three hours.
At noon Lieut.. Loring, leading a squad
of men, attempted to set fire to the
fort. He crept under the walls and
started a blaze, but the Moros discov-
cred him and forced the Americans
to retreat.
During the afternoon the Sultan of
Cabugatan led a sortie at the head of
band of fanatics armed with krisses.
They crept through the grass and
sprang up and attacked the Ameri-
cans. The Sultan was wounded six
times and boloed an American before
he died. His followers were killed.

and attempted to escape by the beach,
but were discovered and many of them
were killed.
The Moros abandoned the fort early
on Thursday, after fifteen hours bonn
bardment, and Thursday Capt. Per-
shing destroyed the rest of the forts
and returned to Camp Wears.
It is believed the moral effect of the
defeat of the Moros will be great. Gen.
Davis has ordered that hostilities be

American industries discarded pooling

German manufacturers are beginning

be shown the visiting generals while
they are in London. The King has
ordered that If the Visi-
tors care to go over Windsor Castle
all the private apartments therein
shall be thrown open and that an
equerry shall accompany them over
the castle. These especial marks of
King Edwards friendhness are due 10

by the British genrals returning from
the German maneuvers OF the extreme
frlendliness which existed between the
American and British offers and to
the kindness the former exhibited to-

King Edward has caused Gen. Kelly
Kenny. who was one of the British
generals who attended the ma

SUNDAY COAL TRAINS.
Norfolk and Western Railroads
Have Issued This Order.

Roanoke, Va, Oct. 4.-The following
official statement was given out at the
general offices of the Norfolk and
Western Railway to-day:
instructions have been issued to
run coal trains on Sunday through the
state of Virginia and elsewhere, in Or
der to expedite the shipments of coal
for the relief of communities and in
terests suffering and imperiled for the
want of fuel, and these coal trains will
continue to run on Sunday during the
existing coal famine
General Manager Johnson was seen
in reference to the above and state
that this was necessary OH account OF
the unusual demand upon them for
coal, and, as stated in the order, that
communities and interests of various
kinds are in serious danger of suffer-
ing from a coal famine. The laws Of
Virginia prohibit the running of freight
trains on Sunday, but as this is an
unusual condition. the action of the
railroad will not be construed into a
violation of this law.
The daily output of the Flat Top and
Pocahontas fields is at present 500 cars,
or about $4,000 tons. The full output
of these mines is 900 cars daily.
