GOVERNOR STONE AND
PRESIDENT MITCHELL
Both Decline to Talk OF Settlement
of Coal Strike-Mines Prepare to
Begin Work Monday.

HARRISBURG, PA, Sept. 13.-Gov-
crnor Stone declined again to-day to di-
vulge the result Of his conference with
President Mitchell last night at the exec
utive mansion. The governor said the
conditions We're such that he did not feel
justified in making a statement, except
to repeat that the strike was discussed
with the best of feeling. He cd not go
to his office on Capitol Hill to-day, but
remained at the mansion with Senator
William Finn, who left at noon for
Pittsburg.
Mr.. Finn was seen at the mansion just
before leaving for Pittsburg and asked
if he had any statement to make per-
tanning to the conference. He replied
that he had not. M. K. McN1ullin, OF
Pittsburg. who came with Mr.. Finn to
attend the conference, went east on an
early morning train and it Is presumed
he has gone to New York to meet D.
Pierpont Morgan and tell him what oc-
CURED at the conference.
District President Nichols Is the only
one of the strike leaders who remained
in Harrisonburg after the conference. He
is as reticent as the others who were
present and would say nothing this morn
ing when asked # he thought the meet
ing would result In settlement OF the
strike. All the persons who were present
evidently have determined to make no
statement. for fear they might say some
thing that would interfere with the plans
for the settlement of the strike.
MITCHELL TALKS.
WILKESBARRE, PA, Sept 13.-Tired
and worn out after his flying trip to
Philadelphia and Harrisburg. President
Mitchell returned to W1lkesbarre this
morning. He said the interview with
Governor Stone was a pleasant one. The
strike situation was discussed In all it's
phases but the governor had no propo-
sition to make for the settlement of the
strike. Asked whether he thought the
governor would call an extra session of
the legislature. Mr.. Mitchell said he did
not know.

Breen closed his door and hurried

waiting for his breakfast, deciding that
he would get his coffee at the depot IL
| he had time. He was controlled by the
suggestion that he was going to De-

their address be forwarded to him at
