Died From Natural Causes.
New York, March 6.-The mystery
surrounding the finding of the woman
whose body was found in furnished
room in house in West Thirty-sev-
enth street last night was partly clear
ed today by the statement that a ply

told the police the woman probably
had died of natural causes. In con

with whom the woman came to the
house on Sunday when the room was
engaged for her, that they came from
Chicago, the police reported today
that a check for a sleeping berth on
the Michigan Central was found
among her effects. The man paid for
the room and after handing the wo-
man some bottles Of dark liquid the
landlady's sister says she heard him
say:
Don't forget to take this medicine;
you know I am a physician"
One of the bottles was found empty.
The police are looking for the man.

New York, March 6.-The Herald

handed to the president within a

There will undoubtedly be at least
a 10 per cent advance in the pay for
mining, to take effect from the time
the miners returned to work last Oc-
tober. The per diem employees will
not have their wages increased, but
will be recommended for the same pay
for day of nine hours.
The system of pay will be regulat-
ed. Wherever practicable, the opera
tors will be required to pay by weight,
| instead of by the car, and elsewhere
by the lineaI yard. The miners will
have check docking representatives
at their own expense. This will prac-

There will be indirect recognition

the findings are submitted by Presi.
dent Roosevelt to John Mitchell, as
president of the miners union.
The causes of the strike as found
by the commission will not prove COM
forting to the coal mining companies.
The boycott will be condemned, and
the principle will be held down that
miner has right to work without
molestat1On even though he does not
not belong to the union.
The terms of the verdict are to be
held good for three years, and recon-
mendations are to be made for set
tlement of wage and other questions
at the end of that period
In local disputes the operators will
be advised to treat with committees
of the miners and there may be a
suggestion for local boards of arbi

MAINTAIN Soldiers Home.
Atlanta, March 6.-It is expected
that the trustees of the Soldiers home
will ask the legislature at it's com
ing summer session to give the home
an additional appropriation for main
tenance for the current year.
The legislature at it's last session
cut the appropriation down $4,000, Civ.
ing only $12,500 This amount, it
is stated, even with the most rigid
economy, will be sufficient only to
maintain those veterans now in the
home. There are many applications
on file with the trustees, but they do
not feel that they can admit any
others unless they are assured of suf.
ficient funds to maintain them.
