He Says That All Negotiations With Mine Owners Are Off-Hopes Settle ment Will Come To-Day-President Fahy, Who Was for Peace, Has
 Given In and Will Let the Strike
 Take It's Course
 ton of anthracite mine workers called to decide the matter of making per- manent the present suspension of work in the hard coal field resumed Its sessions in the opera house this morning at 9 o'clock. The question was not reached at yesterdays ses- sion owing to the inability of the ere dentials committee to complete its work. The committee made it's final report this morning and after a few unimportant matters had been dis posed of the question of the hour was introduced by President Mitchell This was in the form of an exhaustive report of his negotiations with the civic federation and the presidents of the coal companies
 The same impenetrable veil of secrecy surrounds the proceedings of the con- vention to-day and no forecast of the result can be made with any degree of accuracy. The belief born with the interview with President Mitchell yes terday that he has a definite plan that will help the miners in their fight is stronger than ever to-day and many of the delegates hope that the national president will be able to lead them out of the difficulty. The strike sen tfment is still strong, but it cannot be said that it is as great as it was yess terday. Those who advocate a per manent suspension if no concessions are granted by the operators are con- tinuing their campaign of trying to win votes for strike. One of them said to-day: ''We must work out our own salvation. It is strike now or never We have delayed it long enough and we cannot now turn back"
 It was said this morning that Pres ident Fahy of District No 9, who was said to be against a strike, has finally decided to stop pleading for peace and let the miners do as they please. Pres ident Fahy's position, it is said, has met with considerable opposition in his district.
 President Mitchell reiterated to-day that he would advise the miners what course to pursue when the proper time comes. He declined to indicate whether this advice would be in the nature of well laid plan, saying that he would not like to give his ideas to the newspapers in advance of their presentation to the convention. Many opinions can be had regarding the na- tnre of Mitchell's course. The lead CTS are not talking, but the delegates, who have not yet been taken into the confidence of the mine workers, are profuse in opinions. There is no doubt that there will be many propo- sitions introduced by delegates for consideration and it is possible that the debate on them may continue un- til tomorrow. There is rumor afloat that President Mitchell is try ing to delay action in the hope that something may come from the other side. This. MT Mitchell denies, and he says that all negotiations with the mine owners are off. He hopes tIiSe the convention will come to final de- cision to-day.

A striking example Of the conf
dence the Indian reposes in the
law was given at Muskogee yester-
day when Edward Butcher,s Gre elk
fullblood, entered the marshals
Office and confessed the killing Of
his brother.in.law, Jack Fish, last
thursday.
The Indian, accompanied by his
wife and two children, after bury
ing his victim walked to Musko-
gee, a distance of 70 miles, to sur
render. On his arrival there he
went TO see Chief Porter and after
telling his story was directed to
the marshAl's office.
There he repeated the story oi
the killing, alleging that it was
done in self defense. He said that
Fish had two wives whom he most
cruelty maltTehted.
The two families occupied the
same house, and when Butchers
wife appeared while Fish was en-
gagged in beating his wives he as
saulted her. Butcher interlered
and Fish attempted to shoot him
but was disarmed. Later he re-
newed the attack and Butcher BhOI
him down.

and the Republican Party.

Il will eat a copy of the Con.

that Dennis Flynn ever did any.
thing for the Indian Territory"
With the above words as an in.
PRODUCTION, W. H. p. Trudgeon, a
life long Republican, has delivered
a sccthing denuncia,ion Of Dennis
Flyna and the republican party, in
consequence of their responsibility
for the un satisfactory political con.
dilions existing in the territory.
The action Of the republican
party was characterized as dis.
graceful and inbuman by Mr..
rrudgeon. In the past Mr.. Trudg.
con, who is an ardent advocate Of
single statehood, and the slippery
Dennis have been staunch friends.
1t is alleged that the rupture
came when Mr.. Flynn, in a conf.
Dental moment, acknowledged his
opposition to single statehood and
expressed a desire to see the capi
tai and all Of the public buildings
located in Oklahoma and the In.
dian territory tackled on piecem cal
to help pay the expenses.
Ia a warning to the republicans
to look out for a cyclone, Mr..
Trudgeon said:
"No political party can long con.
tinue to prostitute the moTPl and
commercial interests of our people
and maintain their respect and
good will"
Mr.. Trudgeon is a man OF con-
siderable influence, and is in a po.
sition to make it interesting for
the machine"
