RETURN TO NEW YORK
THEY REITERATE STATEMENTS
MADE HERE YESTERAY.
Charge the Strikers With Irresponsi-
bility and Failure to Abide
by Agreements.

NEW YORK, October 4.-The presidents
of the anthracite coal railroads arrived here
from Washington on a special train today.
E. b. Thomas, chairman of the board of
the Erie Railroad Company, VINO repre-
sented that company at the conference
with President Roosevelt at Washington
yesterday, SAID today:
There Is nothing to add to my state
ment at Washington yesterday in respect
to the proposition made by us that in case
we cannot satisfactorily adjust any griev
ances with our own employees 1t shall be re-
ferred to the judges of the court OF COM
mon pleas of the district in which the COL
iery Is situated for final determination.
This certainly provides tribunal which
affords the miners every possible protec
ton, but we cannot be expected to turn
the conduct of property which involves the
interests of such a large number of people
over to the control of an irresponsible and
illegal association and place the lives and
property of our loyal employees at their
mercy. Our offer affords every oDpor-
tunity for fair and liberal treatment with
appeal to an impartial tribunal free from
the influences of the bituminous coal COM
bination. Our forces of men are increas-
ing, and We produced yesterday over 1000
tons of coal"

President Truesdale's Views.

President Truesdale of the Lackawanna
road had nothing to add to the statement
submitted by him to the President at Wash
ington yesterday. He believed, ne said,
that 1t was not the intention of the authori-
ties to call out the federal troops.
President Fowler Of the New York, On
tario and Western road said:
1T is not unlikely that the public may
jump at the conclusion that Mr. Mitchell
offered to resume operations Immediately
in order that the suffering public might be
relieved at once. l think it worth while to
call attention to the fact that Mitchell Of
fered at yesterdays conference to make an
agreement for not less than one year or
more than five years, may be mutually
determined
Now, the point / wish to make clear
right here is this: Mitchell cannot order an
immediate resumption of work. because the
bylaws of the United Mine Workers de-
clare that such a proposition must first be
submitted to a convention of its deega tes
That cannot be done in less than two weeks
time. That much notice, l am told, is called
for In the bylaws.
Could Not Start Under Two Weeks.
1.-The public will observe that there is a
great difference between resuming work
Immediately and resuming work at the end
of two weeks In word, Mitchells propo-
sition has a string to it. Moreover, how do
the operators know that Mitchell can con-
troll his men? Didn't they go back on him
at HaZelton two years ago when he ordered
them not to strike?
THE trouble is that there are two sides
to this fight-the responsible side and the
irresponsible one. The operators stand for
something; the miners are In a position to
draw out of any agreement their leaders
may make. 1t is practically impossible to
make binding agreement with Mitchell"

OLD DREAM REVIVED.
Scheme to Dredge the 0'PIane River
Finally Takes Definite Form
Among the Farmers.
FUND FOR THE SURVEY RAISED
Farmers Contribute Sixty Dollars to Starr
the Work aoing.-outside Aid May
be Sought AfGer Survey is Made.

The old dream Of the past-the
dredging of the O'Plane river, is being
talked of again among the farmers IN
the western and southwestern part OF
the county, and there is good reason
to believe that the dream will IN part
be realized. The farmers recently
held conference on the matter and
Attorney James Cavanagh, who is in
terested in the proposed work, stated
today that small fund had been rails
ed for a preliminary survey tor the
work, and a surveyor has been en-
ployed. The farmers of the county
have shown their interest IN the
scheme to the amount of sixty dollars,
and with this fund the surveyor has
actually been employed and it is ex-
pected that he will begin the work OF
the survey during the present week.
Of course, the farmers are not at the
present time planning any extended
work, nor will the river be made broad
and wide, but the plan is to see II 1t
will be possible with a small expend1-
ture from each property owner to deep
en- the channel to such an extent that
it will carry off the waste water and
assist in retaining some of the land
which is now unfit for cultivation on
account of swamps.
For years the dredging of the
O'P1ane river has been a standing joke
among the people of the county, and
the newspapers have poked lots OF fun
at the plans of the farmers, but it now
looks as if there would be something
come of the agitation started so many
years ago. AS to the source of funds
for the work nothing has as yet been
given out. It is possible that the
property owners interested stand ready
to defray the entire expense but it is
more probable that if the work is
found to be practical, the State will be
asked to give some aid to the project.
The proper dredging of the river
would cost a vast sum of money but
this sort of work is now far beyond the
plans of the interested parties, ard a
much smaller work is contemplated.
1t is thought that ten thousand dollars
will be sufficient to complete the work
now planned and if this work is proved
success, other additions and extern
sions could be easily completed by
State aid.
The matter was at one time brought
up in the Legislature of Illinois, but it
was promptly laid upon the table.
Other efforts for the dredging of the
continuation of the O'Plane are still
pending in that State. Mr.. Cavanagh
seems certain that the work now plan
ned will result in the dredging being
done in the near future.

FIRST SOCIAL SESSION.
Kenosha Chapter of Elks Have Jolly
Time at Their New Rooms.

The Kenosha lodge of E1ks gave
it's first social session Tuesday evening
in its lodge rooms IL the Dewey build
ing on Park street and the session was
one of the jolliest social events ever
held in Kenosha.
Nearly the full membership of the
lodge attended the session and during
the earlier part of the evening three
new members were given the degree of
the order. AS soon as the regular
work was over a social session was de-
c1ared and r. H. Wel1es was selected
as POSTMASTER. For an hour and a
half the E1ks fingered around the tables
and nearly every man in the lodge was
called on to make speech or tell a
story or sing song. Incidentally the
treasury of the lodge was given de-
cided boost by the fines assessed by the
POSTMASTER.
The lodge will have it's first ladies'
night Thursday evening when a re-
ception to the wives and friends of the
members of the order will be given.

THURSDAY, JAN. 80, 1902.

The last request of the attorney for
Mr.. Clausen that the warrant now
outstanding against him be with
drawn and that he be allowed to come
to Kenosha without being made to
stand trial will probab bly, receive due
attention at the hands of District At
torney Buckmaster. The District At
torney, in common with the great ma
iority of the people of the city, is OF
the opinion that the facts brought out
at the examination of the two Alder
men who were accused of accepting
bride were worth all the time, labor
and money that it cost to secure them.
While possibly not sufficient TO secure
a conviction in court of law, they re-
vea1ed enough of the inside manipula-
ton of the street railway franchise or
dinance to show clearly that money
was used to secure its passage, and to
enable any one to make a pretty ac-
curate guess as to how much was used
and as to who got it. Preparations
are now being made for the trial OF
ex-Alderman Caster at the coming
term of the Circuit Court, and the evil
dence brought out there will probably
make as great a sensation as that fur
nished by the first examination. 1t is
only fair to the Aldermen who we're
brought up for examination to remem-
Der that they were not the only ones
suspected of being implicated in the
deal and that they should not be made
to suffer for all the sins of the gang.
When the Caster case comes to trial
more light will probably be thrown on
the whole matter and the names OF
other suspects brought out and their
connection with the case made public.
Perhaps the eager desire of these
other suspects to avoid any men tion of
their connection with the case &C
counts for the strenuous endeavors OF
the willy Mr.. Firthman to hush up the
whole matter. Possib bly, the inner his
tory of this same Mr.. Firthman's con-
nection with the case may be brought
cut also. He did not appear as attor-
ney for Caster until that worthy indi-
vidual had repented Of his disclosures
and refused to give evidence against
his former associates.
Are his services part of the price of
Casters silence? If SO his continued
employment in the case indicates that
somebody is willing TO pay long price
for just that silence, for he is lawyer
of acknowledged ability and special
ist in the defense of men charged with
bribery, and presumably is not in
business for his health.
