 When seen by a reporter last night Mir Lighthall said:
 "The trouble here was caused by a man who represented himself as an agent of our organization, but who was In real ity not connected with us at all He caused our men to make demands that they otherwise would not have made We do not believe in entering into contract one day and violating 1t the next.
 'I propose to have this matter ad- justed by tomorrow morning, when l shall have a conference with the manager of the mill
 q will leave for Washington tomorrow over the Southern, where l have busi- ness requiring attention"

CONGRESSMAN IS
 OFFERED A BRIBE
REPRESENTATIVE LEssLER OF N. Y. SAYS HE WAS OFFERED s5ooo FOR HIS SUPPORT OF CERTAIN NAVAL MEASURE.

Washington, January 2o.-A sub-com- mittee of the committee of naval affairs is Investigating the charge that Repre- sentative Lessier of New York, one of the members of the naval committee, had been approached with a bribe of S6OOO for his support of a proposition looking to an appropriation for additional submarine torpedo boats, with view to ascertaining whether there is sufficient warrant for the committee to ask the house to order regular investigation of the matter
 The sensational charge was made by MT. Lessler himself at a meeting of the naval affairs committee this afternoon. The question of the Holland torpedo boats was up and MT. Lessler, who was opposing the authorization of additional boats, told the committee that he had been approached with bribe. The fol- lowing subcommittee was at once ap- pointed to make an Investigation:
 Mir Foss, republican of Illinois. chair man of the naval committee; MT. Butler, republican of Pennsylvania; MT Taylor, republican of Ohio MT. Wheeler, demo- erat of Kentucky, and Mir Rixey, dem ocrat of Virginia.
 During the afternoon the subcommittee heard MT. Lessler's complete story and will summon other witnesses tomorrow. Their proceedings are secret.

SIDNEY KING GETS
 SENTENCE OF DEATH
THE NEGRO CONVICT WAS GUILTY OF MURDERING A FELLOW CON- VlcT AT THE MINES AT COAL BURG.

Sidney King, a negro, has received the death sentence for the murder of Osa Barron, another negro, in the mines at Coalburg on the 18th of last August.
 King was tried In the first division of the Criminal court yesterday. The case was given to the jury late in the after noon, and after having been in the jury room only ten minutes the twelve men filed back into the court room with a verdict, which was to the effect that King was guilty and should suffer death. He will probably be sentenced by Judge Dan A. Greene Saturday.
 King was charged with killing a fellow convict in the Coalburg mines while they were at work. The evidence showed he used a pick with which he was working, and struck Barron several times on the head and body. King was arrested at once on the charge of murder and on the same day was brought to Birmingham and placed in the county jail.
 When the sentence of the jury was read yesterday afternoon King laughed. He seemed to be utterly indifferent as to his fate, but says he is not guilty of the crime

ENGINEERS GET 10
 PER GENT RAISE
L. & N. R. R. co. AND EMPLOYES COME TO PERFECTLY SATISFAc- TORY AGREEMENT-coNpUcT- oRS COME NEXT.

Louisville, Ky, January 20.-The Louis- vile and Nashville engineers finished their work with General Manager Evans shortly before noon today, and the result is entirely satisfactory.
 The engineers got an average increase of 10 per cent in wages. This is graded On some runs the increase is only to 8 per cent, but on others it is as high as 15. This grading is due to the fact that some runs were heretofo much better than others. Under the new schedule there is more equality. About 300 engineers are affected. Eleven hundred firemen share approximately in the benefits, for they still get 53 per cent of the wages paid the engineers as under the old schedule.
 Conductors Follow Suit.
 Louisville, Ky, January 20-Following in the steps of the locomotive engineers the conductors and trainmen of the Louis- vile and Nashville railroad will tomorrow present demands to General Manager Evans for an increase in wages. As the efforts of the engineers to secure an in- crease in wages were successful, 1t Is be- lieved the conductors and trainmen also will be able to reach an agreement with the officials.

NEW LEGISLATURE STARTS OFF
 WITH AN AIR OF DIFFERENTIATION
SENATOR QUAY PUTS
 BEVERIDGE IN A HOLE
BY WATERS ON sTEALEX.

Washington, D. C.. January 2o.-(Spe- cial.)--senator Quay of Pennsylvania, who is leading the fight for the passage of the omnibus statehood bill. today put his opponent Senator Beveridge of Indi- ana, In hole, and showed conclusively that the opponents of the bill have inau- gurated a mere filibuster against the measure, and that he will not agree to taking vote even is the time is set for the morning of March 4.
 The Pennsylvania senator asked that a vote be taken, at different times, lead ing up to nearly the close of the session. Each request met with objection from Senator Beveridge, whereupon Senator Quay announced that tomorrow he would seek to hold the senate in session until a date for vote was set or some agree ment was adopted. This week, therefore, promises to considerably clear the legis- lative atmosphere not only with regard to the statehood bill, but also other im-

LABOR TO START CAMPAIGN.
Will Make Vigorous Effort to Have
 Child Labor Bill Passed.

Washington, January 20.-The execu- tive council of the American Federation of Labor today decided to prosecute an active campaign in behalf of laws to pro- hibit child labor and to regulate the labor of miners in all states not now having such statutes, and to urge enactment of the bill pending in congress to make eight hours a. days work, the same as on government contracts.
 MT. Gompers was directed to prosecute A campaign of education regarding the labor movement in the south and west An investigation was ordered into allega- tions that Porto Rican laborers in Ha- waii are being inhumanely treated.

portant matters pending before the sen- ate. for with the statehood bill out of the way an order of business can be for mulated by the steering committee.
 Senators Beveridge and Kean of the territories committee had a conference with the President this morning, during which, 1t Is reported the Indianian told the President that he was very uneasy about the statehood bill and in case a vote was reached immediately the meas ure would pass by one majority. The fear of the bills passage therefore caused Senator Beveridge to object to final vote at any time. Beveridge would not hesitate to allow vote if he thought the bill could be defeated. What he is anxious to do Is to keep the bill before the senate in the hope that it will be sidetracked by Cuban reciprocity, trust discussion, the department of commerce and regular appropriation bills
 The statehood side seems determined to force vote, and the other Is equally determined to hold up legislation which must be passed, If an extra session Is necessary.

LUNGS IMPORTANT
 CENTER OF LIFE
MEDICAL LECTURER SAYS IT IS NOT OXYGEN, BUT ELECTRICITY WHICH PURIFIEs THE BLOOD IN THE LUNGS.

San Francisco. January 2o.-Dr. Albert J. Atkins, lecturer on principles of medi- cine at the California Medical college, in a recent paper read before the San Fran cisco County Society of Physicians and Surgeons, claims that experiments con ducted by him have demonstrated that 1t is electricity, not oxygen, which purifies the blood in the lungs. Dr. Atkins says that no oxygen passes through the mem brane of the air cells of the lungs Into the blood stream; also that the air cells excrete carbon. He has discovered that the action which takes place in the lungs in breathing is electrical.
 Nitrogen and oxygen of air coming in contract with the secreted carbon cause combustion, which generates electric cur rents. These pass through the membrane of the air cells into the blood from ven- ous to arteral, also causing the rythmic action of the heart, thus showing the lungs to be the important center of life.

TO DESTROY SHEPARD.
Vigorous Measures Taken to Rid Ma
 zatIan of Bubonic. Plague.

Los Angeles, Cal, January 20.-A spe- cial from Nogales, Arza says:
 Advices from Guayamas state that more orders have been received at Mazatlan by the federal authorities to burn the ship yard which was erected few years ago at large cost to the federal government.
 The destruction of the shipyard is only part of a programme of despolling meas ures to be taken to rid the city of bu- bonic plague. It Is now believed that the plague has been contracted from in- fected vessels, coming in from the east. and has been carried ashore by rats or other rodants infesting ships. An att tempt has been made to prevent the spreading of the disease by poisoning these animals, but has been of no avail.
