Ex- President Cleveland Presided Ut Pub
lie Meeting In Aid Of the Negro
Institution.

Philadelphia, Dec. 12.-Former
President Cleveland presided last
night at a public meeting in aid Of
the Berean Manual Training school,
an institution which aims to give
members of the negro race the bene-
fits of an industrial education. The
meeting was attended by prominent
iurists, educators and business men.
Mr.. Cleveland was the principal
speaker and Booker T. Washington,
president, of Tuskegee institute, also
made an address. The institution
was established less than two years
ago and has an enrolment of 200 stu
dents. Mr.. Cleveland is personally
interested in the school and in ac-
cepting the invitation to attend the
meeting he said: US

TIE COAL STRIKE HEARINGS.
An Independent Operator Owns Up to Re.
ceiving $40 Ton for His Coal Dur
ing One Month,

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 12.-The rep
resentatives Of the miners during
yesterda1h proceedings before the
anthracite coal arike commission
called one Of the independent opera
tors to the witness stand to tell the
exact price he received for his coal,
and the mine owner refused, giving
instead, after much questioning, an
average of the price he received.
The operator was L. M. Crawford,
president Of the Peoples Coal COM
pany, which operates the Oxford col
liery in Scranton. The request for
him to take the stand was surprise.
The Oxford colliery during the strike
managed to get enough men to oper-
ate the plant and for one month, &C
cording to Mr.. Crawford, his COM
pany received $40 ton for its coal.
Objection was raised to the miners
lawyers trying to get him to tell
what he received from the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western company
for the production of his company,
but the examination was permitted
to proceed for what it was worth,
the commission stating that the ex.
ceptional high price of coal during
the strike was not pertinent to the
present inquiry. The miners an
nounced that they expected to close
their case on Saturday and thus gave
notice to the other side to be ready
to proceed with their testimony. In
reply the companies attorneys an
nounced that they may have 70 ark
for q short recess in order to proLr
erly prepare their case. Judge Gray,
for the commission, in reply said hc
hoped there would be no interrupt
ton in the proceedings and hs
hoped the companies will be able to
proceed as soon lbs the miners have
concluded their case. From the
large number of witnesses yet to
be called by the miners 1T is not
likely they will finish their case ON
Saturday. Nearly the entire day was
taken up in hearing witnesses who
had some specific complaint to make,
among other things the price paid
per mine car antl the size OF the
cars.

TIE STRIKE INQUIRY.


Scranton, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE most
interesting, if not most important,
testimony brought out at yesterdays
sessions Of the coal strike commits
sion was to the effect that an alleged
attempt was made by former mine
foreman to bride two presidents OF
local unions of the miners to have
ten men in each local use their in
fuence to have resolution passed
sending the men back to work, thus
making serious break in the solid
ranks of the strikers. Each Of the
presidents was to receive $4,000 and
a good position as mine foreman and
each of the ten men was to get from
500 to 5000. The name of no com
pany was mentioned in connection
with the bribery scheme and none
of the lawyers cross-examined the
witness.
A large amount Of technical testi-
mony was heard on the various
phases of the questions at issue.
Two check weighmen produced fig
ures which tended to show that at
two Delaware & Hudson collieries
the miners produced 1859 tons Of
coal more than they were paid for.
The miners must bring up 1896
pounds of coal and dirt to make a
ton Of 2,24o pounds Of pure coal, and
the union claims that the company
gets more than 2,24O pounds Of coal
out Of each miners" ton Of 3,13o
and produced figures to prove It.
The Delaware & Hudson company
presented its figures to the commits
sion yesterday, they being the first
certified statistics to be handed in.
They show the average earnings OF
the miner in 1901 to have been $622.6S
and his laborer $44s.47.

at the instance of John d. Rockefel-
Ter and other persons of wealth, who,

fund to aid existing schools and col

sire of the promoters of the under.
taking to improve educational facil-
tiles of the south, including those
for the improvement of colored
