WILL MEET
ON FRIDAY

| Washington, Oct. 22.-Shortly be
fore s o'clock yesterday Afternoon
President Roosevelt received a tele
gram from Wilkesharre, Pa, inform
Ing him that the convention Of miners
had declared off the anthracite coal
strike. The telegram was signed by
John Mitchell, chairman. a, d w. B.

sion to meet here on FIR day next, the
Path instant, at 10 a. m.
GEORGE B. .CORTELYOU
Secretary.
News OF the termination of the
strike was received by che President
with great satisfaction.
1t is understood that few meetings
| OF the commission will be held in
Washington. After the work of the
commission has b en- mapped out the
first step will be to take the testimony
of the miners who may be regarded as
plaintiffs IN the case. Notification
will be sent to all interested parties
thai, at certa Il specified times, tt e
commission will hear evidence to be
presented. The parties to the inquiry
will be permitted to be present at
the hearings either personally or by
counsel.
1t is probable that the first sessions
OF the commission at which testimony
will be taken will be held in Wilkes
barre, as that city will be mos, con.
venient for the miners representa-
tives. Other meetings will be held
in Philadelphia or New York or in
both cities.
Whether the sessions of the com.
mission will be open to the public is a
question the commission itself will
have to determine, but 1T is reg arded
as quite likely that At all session,
when testimony is taken, representa-.
ives OF the press will be admired.
How long the hearings will coatin-

When Papa Spray heard of the mar

had Horner arrested for perjury. When
the case came up for trial Horner ad-
mitted that he knew Miss Spray was
not of age, but put in the defense that

the literal truth in his affidavit.
The novelty Of the defense nearly

of Papa Spray and the distress of the
young couple.
Horner says he will appeal.
