LOST BROTHER
 IN BIG WRECK
G. E. ToMltNsoN RECEIVED SAD
 NEWS FROM NEW YORK
In Rear End Collision at Piainfieio, N. j., Between Royal Blue and
 Passenger x. TomIinson is Killed

In response to an inquiry sent to New York yesterday afternoon, G. E.. Tomlinson, the wei known mining man in this city, learned that his brother, Harold Tomlinson. was among the killed.
 Harold Tomlinson makes his resi- dence at Plainfield, New Jersey, but had his place of business in New York. He was in the habit of riding on one of the trains that was in the collision, and it was this that led MT. Tomlinson to fear that he might be among the injured.
 The story of the wreck was told in these co umns yesterday morning. The Royal Blue crashed into the rear of a local passenger with an appalling loss of life. The number of dead was estimated as high as thirty.
 The press dispatches in speaking of the collision said that it was one of the most disastrous that have oc- cured in the vicinity of New York for years. Many of those who were unable to leave the cars after the crash were burned beyond recogni- tion
 The brother of MT. Tomlinson was seated in one of the cars of the focal passenger He was on his way to his residence at Plainfie'd, and was unfor- tGnate enough to be numbered among the victims of the wreck. It was not learned last night whether or not he was killed instantly or whether his re- mains were burned in the fire that consumed part of the wreckage. MT. Tomlinson stated last night that his deceased brother was thirty one years of age. He saw him last October, while on a visit to his rela- tives, who live in the vicinity of New ] York.
 Should MT. Tomlinson receive a tel egram informing him that he can reach New York in time to attend the fun eral services, he will leave Bisbee to day He stated that he was communi eating with another brother by tele graph, and could not state positively what his movements will be until he receives advices from him.

 The meeting of the San Pedro Val ley Development association, held at St. David on Friday night last, was largely attended, although it was known beforehand that little business was be transacted. The farmers of that section were enthusiastic, as they have long since learned the value of water, says the Benson Press.

Merrill called the meeting to order, and after the usual routine work, the committee on in- corporation asked for further time to report, as much labor was necessary to prepare the papers, ard it was the sense of the meeting, that when the papers were brought in they would be such as would be acceptable to the secretary of the interior without fur ther amendment.

 J. NJ. Cosby was appointed treas urer pro tenn during the absence of Treasurer Roemer.

CAN REMARRY.
Decree Permits Prince and Princess
of SaxonY to Wed.

Dresden, SaXony, Feb. 12.-The de-
cree of divorce granted to Crown
Prince Frederick yesterday permits
both parties to marry again. The
princess, however. cannot marry Gil
ron and get recognition of her mar.
riage under German law.
Although the special court declined
to take into account the contention of
the former crown princess lawyers
that she was deranged, this theory is
fully accepted by King George, Crown
Prince Frederick and the Saxon court
as the view to be put forth within the
kingdom in future and that reasons
of state required the separation.
The pope has been asked to grant
special dispensation dissolving the
marriage.

Says It Has Big Effects, and Large
Distribution of Wealth.
MAKES PROPOSITION AS TO WAGES
Offers to Make Present Pay the Mini
mum Rate for Three Years, the In
crease or Decrease to Be Governed
by New York Market.

Philadelphia, Feb. 12.-With the ex-
pectation of hearing George t. Baer,
president Of the Reading company,
make the closing argument against
the demands of the miners, the la-g-
est crowd that has yet iammed into
the United States ci,tr'iit court roem
was present when the coal strike COM
mission opened its session today.
Former Congressman Wolverton, the
principal counsel for the Philadelphia
& Reading Coal & Iron Co., conclud-
ed his argument, which was begun
yesterday. He was followed by Presi-
dent Baer.
Baer's Address.
Mr.. Baer began by saying: '.In the
development of the natural resources
OF the earth, it is necessary for men
to combine both their capital and en-
ergy. Railroads, steamship lines,
great steel plants and work shops of
every kind can only be created by the
combination of capital We are ant
to overlook the part these business
corporations play in the distribution
ltof wealth. Their stockholders are
many are scattered wide and far and
people suppose. by few very rich
men. Successful business carried on
in corporate form distributes it's pro.
fits among many and therefore neces-
sarily tends to the greater distribu--
ton OF wealth."
Reviews Strike.
Baer then at great length reviewed
history "a OF -t,.
Grated the reasons heretofore advance
ed by the operators. why the operators
should not recognize the miners or.
ganization.
Makes Proposition,
In conclusion, Mr. Baer presented
this proposition, that the rate of
wages now paid shall be the minimum
basis for the next three years; that
from November to April 1, 1903, all en-
ployes other than contract miners
shall be paid an additional five per
cent after April J., for each five cents
in excess of $3.50 per ton on the aver
age price realized in the harbor of New
York; that on all sizes above pea coal,
wages shall be advanced one per cent;
| that the wages are to rise or fall one
per cent for each five cents increase
or decrease in the prices but that they
shall never fall during the three years
below the present basis. The average
price for each region is to be ascertain
ed by competent accountant, who
will be appointed by Judge Gray or
one of the United States circuit judges
of Philadelphia The proposition pro-
vides also for the payment of the ac-
countant's salary and each operator is
to submit a full statement each month
of the prices realized for the coal in
/ New York, with accountant to have
access to the books to verify state
ments."
Is Good Trait
During his address Baer said that in
| the disputes between capital and la
Dor the general public is largely in
sympathy with labor. 1t is human, he
said, and a good trait in the race to
sympathize with the weak against the
strong and therefore Il can find no
fault with the criticisms, though they
are harsh-that have been made
against us"
