GATES CROWD IS
 AFTER STILLWELL
FIGHT THE EFFORT TO RESTORE GUARDIAN TRUST COMPANY TO THE CONTROL OF CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS

Kansas City. Mo. September 1l-when the application for the discharge of re- ceivers or the Guardian Trust company came up today for hearing before Judge Amos M Thayer of the United States court, it developed that John W. Gates and his associates had begun a fight to prevent the restoration of the company to the control of those stockholders identi- fled with Arthur F. Stillwell.
 It was the Gates contingent that busted Stillwell from the presidency of the Kan sas City, Pittsburg and Gulf railroad (now the Kansas City Southern), which Stillwell had built, and threw 1t into the hands of a receiver. It was also through the efforts of the Gates people that Still well, over a year ago, was busted from the presidency of the Guardian Trust company, which he had organized. Tc- day when Gates attorneys objected to the application of Stlllwell to have the Guardian Trust receivers discharged, they did so on the theory that Stillwell s move was to place the company in the hands of his friends and eventually to merge 1t with the United States and Mexican Trust company, which was or ganized to promote the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient road, another property projected by Stillwell. This the stilwell people deny, saying that the affairs of the trust company have progressed so fa- vorably that 1t could now be conducted more economically without the receivers. The intention Is, 1t is stated. to eventu- ally wind up the affairs of the company. The hearing was completed. but Judge 'rhayer reserved his decision.

OPERATORS REFUSE ID
 DEAL WITH MITCHELL
Says the Miners President cIamorn for Arbitration In Public, But at Heart Does Not Want 1t
 Brought About.

New York. September n.-Former Mayor Abram S. Hewitt stated today that he knew positively that J. P. Nor gan would not interferfe in the coal strike Mir. Hewitt also said the coal operators would not agree to arbltrate with John Mitchell, but he believed they would consider grievances presented by their employees.
 Continuing. MT. Hewitt said:
 T don't altogether blame Mr. Mitchell for bringing on this strike. Mr. Mitchell advised against the strike. When he call ed the convention at shamokin he thought he would be able to control it and show what a big fellow he was. But those young fellows came in and wanted the strike and the convention got beyond Mitchells control Then he called the Indianapolis convention. He told the an- thracite miners that he would ask the bitumlnous miners to go on sympa- thetic strike. He did so and they refused.
 MT. Mitchell in public clamors TOT ar- bitration. But does he want arbitration1 What MT. Mitchell wants is recognition for his very life. but there will be no
 
 of the operators and no arbitration be- tween the operators and MT. Mitchell.
 Tt was MT. Mitchell who destroyed the principle of arbitration in the coal fields. The operators are willing ard ready to adjust any grievances by COZ sessions or otherwise with their own employees. But they will have nothing to do with MT Mitchell.
 Some of my critics reproach me with being the owner of coal property and therefore not disinterested. Now, all through my long life I believe that it is generally recognized that when I have expressed myself in disputes between cap ital and labor have generally sided with the working msn.
 Tn 1876 during the days of the Molly Maguires I made tour of insr sroction thu ough the miners region. l found ter rlble conditions then. I found men living under wretchedly brutal conditions. lt was shortly after this that I became a director of the Lehigh Coal and Naviga- tion company. I advised the management to better the conditions of the working man. They replied that they could nos do so and derive profit from theiT busi- ness. did my best to convince them that 1t will always condnce to the profit Of the employer to consider the interests of those working for them. Finally I brought them around to my point of view, and 1t was not long before better conditions were obtained among the em- ployes of that company.
 When this strike was called the em- ployes of the companies almost to a man owned their own homesteads. They were thrifty and respectabe-as respec- tatle people as you meet anywhere.

 Circuit Attorney Foll1e said today that almost every one of the indicted mem- bers of the house of delegates combined had offered to turn states evidence, but he declined to accept more than two or three with a-promise of clemency. Before J. K. Murrells return and confession, the members of the combine, MT. Folke said, were so sure of their position that offers of the authorities to take care of the informers were spurned.
 The grand jury held two sessions today. At each session a number of members of the council that passed the city light ing bill in 1S99 in addition to Robert Me Math, former president of the board of public improvements and the Hemens brothers. electrical contractors. were called on to tell what they knew of the transactions connected with the defeat and passage of such measures.
 All day long rumors were rife that in- dictments would shortly be found against members of the council combine, but the grand jury adjourned until tomorrow without taking any such action.
 MT. Folke said the grand jury would continue the Investigation into the light ing scandal for several days to come.
