LOUISVILLE, KY, March 2S.-The Her.
aid tomorrow will say: "If the operators
do not offer us a better proposition than
the one made at Paducah, KY, all the rep
resentatives of the United Mine Workers
will take the next train home" Thus spoke
j. d. Wood. member of the national COM
mittee from the United Mine Workers of
Kentucky, and c. N. Barnabym, president
of the western Kentucky district, regard
ing the wage conference to be held here to-
morrow between the committees represent
ing the 10000 bituminous miners of Ken
lucky and twenty-seven mining companies.
At the Paducah conference the miners de-
manded the scale adopted at the miners
convention in Indianapolis, which amounts
to a 20 per cent. increase, while the opera
tors insisted on last years scale. The mat
ter was referred to a conference to be held
in this city. The operators refuse to state
what stand they will take. Unless an agree
ment is reached 1t is feared a strike may
result.

NIAGARA RIVER BED DRY
WATER WAS DIVERTED To THD
CANADIAN SIDE BY ICE,
And the Rock ON the American Falls
Was So Bare People walked
ON 1t Sunday.

+ NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, March 3-The
American falls of Niagara were nearly dry
Sunday. and many people travelled over the
river bed. where human feet never before
had trod. The remarkable spectacle was
first revealed Saturday morning.
Last night the ice flow from Lake Erie
grew so heavy that great masses Of ice
crowded upon the lodges near the head
of Goat island and diverted the water from
the American to the Canadian channel. Be-
low the point where the ice rested on the
rocks there was little water and the rocks
were quite bare. The scene at dawn was
surprising. and people who have resided I'm

the river to look upon spectacle that made
them marvel
Practically all of the river of the Amer
American falls and a point above the head
of Goat islanI was bare. 1t would not ba
true to say That no water flowed I'm this
section, but what was there was such q
fraction of the usual flow that IL passed

the river bed. The feat was easy. Men,
women and children. unmindful Of the fact
that the river might break through the Ice
jam above them and carry them over the
falls and to eternity, romped about the
rocks and gathered fee with unusual glee.
for the possibility Of walking over this por-
ton of the river appeared to intoxicato
everybody with delight. Every pothole. ey-
cry crevice on the little islands were
searched for relics OF the day and occasion.
With crowbars men broke away pieces of
the rocky river bed to carry on as SOU
venirs, and slender bushes were broken OK
to furnish canes and mementoes.
1t was a big crowd and curious crowd
that searched about the rocks. but no really
remarkable finds were announced In the
place of the fascinating spectacle that had
been considered so sublime there was a
thin unattractive sheet of water that trick
leo over the precipice. Viewed from the
Canadian side, the American fall wee am
worthy OF its name. With a high wind
sweeping across Lake Erie. driving thu
water down the Niagara, the ice jam may
be swept away in a few hours. but old river
men say the ice jam may last several days.

TILTED TWICE IN ONE DAY.


MuskOgee Man Had a Lively Expert-
ence I'm Kansas City.
Kansas City Star.
Tilted twice in one day Is the record in
love thus far for Silas waul. who came to
Kansas City several days ago from Mus
cogee, l. T. The second woman to spurn
his love after promising TO MARRY him was
a Kansas City girl whom he met last night
for the first time. After their troth had
been plighted Waul gave his fiancee a gold
watch, several diamonds and 500 in cash.
He went to call upon her at her home on
Grand avenue this morning to arrange for
the wedding ceremony, but she had disap-
peared. Then he told the police. and they
are hunting for the girl, the jewelry and
the money.
The other woman who tempered with
Waurs heart was Mrs. Matte Kuntz, a
widow, who came. with Waul from Mus
cogee, /. L. She promised to marry him,
and in the interim was stopping at the
Oakley House, on Fourteenth street. near
on her and found her packing her trunk.
He had previously given her a watch and
two diamond rings. He became suspicious
elope with another admirer, so he went to
No. Station for advice. A replevin writ
for the jewelry was secured and the
woman surrendered the valuables to the
officers, but refused to carry out her agree
ment to marry Waul.
Waul then told the police that he would
leave at once for Salt Lake City. Utah
While strolling about the city yesterday
evening ne saw a young woman who i'm
pressed him favorably. They were intro
6uced and the second engagement followed
quickly. They were to leave to-day for
Salt Lake City.
Waul Is an elderly appearing man. He
formerly owned a machine shop In Musco-
gee l. T. He has air of honesty. and
has evidently been the dupe of shrewd
women while in search Of wife. He may
make a third attempt at matrimony, he
believes there Is luck In odd numbers.

INDIANA COAL OPERATORS.
They Must Appear Before Federal
Judge Kohlsaat I'm Chicago.

Judge Kohlsaat I'm Chicago.
United States Marshal Petit yesterday
received from Chicago writ or "order of
court to be served on a number of mining
operators at Clinton. Ind. 1t Is supposed
this is a continuation of the cases brought
against Indiana operators in Chicago in
which the operators were charged with con-
spiracy and were indicted by the Cook
county grand jury. The Chicago Judge be-
fore whom the cases were brought decided
that the Federal Court was the proper
place In which to try the cases. Deputy
Marshal tom" Martin spent yesterday
serving the writ on the head men of the
following mining concerns at Clinton:
BruiHetts Creek Coal Company, Oak Hill
Coal Mining Company, Coal Bluff Mining
Company, Parke County Coal Company,
Nevins Coal Company, Indiana Fuel COM
pany, Mcclellan Sons e. Co. and Mrs. Jean
Shirkie. The operators are instructed to
appear before Judge Kohlsaat. This action
OF the Chicago federal judge is interpreted
to. mean that the grand jury will fnvesti-
gate the charges brought against the opera
tors In the state court. The action grows
out of charges made during the coal famine
last winter, when nearly every coal dealer
and operator was charged with conspiring
to force up prices.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, March pa large
ly attended mass meeting of united mine
workers took place tonight to discuss the
report and award Of the strike commission.
After learning from some of the local lead
ers the contents Of the award there was a
lengthy discussion as to how some Of it's
provisions should be interpreted. The sem
timent prevailed that the award gave the
miners the privilege of summoning the new
board of Cancellation and of asking for the
weighing of coal. The men seemed to be
satisfied with everything else, and they be-
lieve the commission has left the coal
weighing question in a position where it
can be taken up and adjusted between the
men and their employers. No definite ac-
ton was taken, the miners present conclud-
ing to reserve their decision until they re-
ceive a full official copy of the award and
secure the opinion of their national officers.

The question as to whether Representa-

nomination for Governor before the next
State convention is one that has been both
ering Indiana politicians for some months.
Mr.. Hemenway is in the city and last
evening at the Columbia Club he was ask
ed to settle this vexed question. He laughed
quietly as he answered:
II really can't tell you just now what
I shall do. I shall decide some time be-
tween now and the State convention
whether I shall be a candidate
Since the first intimation that Mr.. Hem
enway would be a candidate for Governor
the opinion has been freely expressed
among prominent Republicans that the
man who will be the next chairman of the
appropriations committee Of the National
House Of Representatives does not really
want to be Governor of Indiana, but that
he has his eyes set on the United States
senatorship, and that while he may permit
his friends to boom him for Governor for a
while he will In fact be a candidate to sue
coed Senator Beverage in 1906. Representa-
tive Hemenway smiled again when this So
luton OF his position was suggested to him
last evening and answered evasively:
Its entirely too early to be deciding such
an important question as that. AS said
before, can't tell now Just what shall
do, but ! shall make up my mind in am
pie time"
Representative Hemenway's evasion OF
q direct answer to the question as to
whether he will be q candidate for Gov
ernor or for United States senator will
strengthen the belief of many of his friends
and acquaintance that he is really seeking
promotion to the upper branch of Congress.

comes from the Home ONCE, which now

able to personally testify.
Those who are in a position to know say
that Home Secretary Akers-Douglas has
shown great courtesy in connection with the
suits now pending in America, that the de-
cision to release Mrs. Maybrick was en-
tirely due to efforts on this side of the At
lantic and that Ambassador Herbert has
never been called upon to act In this matter.

Florence Chandler, and member Of a we'll

then eighteen years old. Her husband was
over forty years old. In the spring OF 1889

days he died. His brothers investigated
his death and charged Mrs. Maybrick with

From the time of Mrs. Maybrick's convic-

to obtain the prisoners release, In which
she has been aided by influential friends on

justice of England. letter writ

was convinced that she ought never to

have done everything possible to obtain
Mrs. Maybrick's pardon. Had she not been
able to testify in the suits pending in the
United States Mrs. Maybrick and her moth
