MINERS INSIST ON ADVANCE.
Conference With Operators Still I
Without Results.

Springfield. H., March 3.-Confer-
ences were held yesterday between the
operators and miners of the northern
Illinois district, which embraces mines
at Spring Valley, Wilmington, La Sale,
and Bloomington. and also between OPP
orators and miners of Williamson coun-

as neither side was willing to recede

on an advance of wages in the thin

DIED WHILE CHILDREN PRAY.
Dramatic Scene in New York Sunday
School

| New York, March 3.--AS her COM
rades in the Sunday school class of the
Ainslee Street Presbyterian church
knelt in prayer for her, 9-year-old
Emma Rausch died in agony in the
presence of the 500 weeping children
and teachers and her parents, who had
been summoned.
1t was dram attic score, for all the
little ones in the class Knew that their
comrade was dying, and their appeal to
the Almighty for the ch.ld's soul was
heartfelt and pathetic. The girl choked
to death on a penny toy balloon whistle
which she had bought on the way to
Sunday school, and which she had
swallowed accidentally.
On the way to Sunday school from
her home in the williamsburg section
OF Brooklyn the little girl bought the
whistling balloon. This she took into
Ter class, and, while initiating 1t for the
amusement of her mates, the wooden
'mouthpiece slipped into her throat. She
gasped and pain and fear showed in
her eyes.
The children became alarmed and
their EXPLANATIONS of fright attracted
the attention of Charles F'ollett. super
intendent OF the Sunday school. He
called to a trustee OF the church and
they worked to- extricate the toy from
the throat of the fast choking child.
Not until she became unconscious
was 1t believed that the child's condi-
ton was critical. Physicians were
summoned, but could not extract the
toy.
When the doctors announced that
death was near the Rev. DR.. r. S. Daw-
son raised his hand AMI asked that all
kneel and pray. Then he prayed aloud
and fervently for the soul that was
RAISING before their eyes.
The child's parents, who had been
sent for, entered as the clergyman was
ing was clear to them, and they knelt,
sobbing beside their c:lild. And on
the wings of the prayer of her play
mates and friends the chsld's soul was
borne away to it's Maker The body
was carried into an adjoining room.
The Rev. DR.. Roland S. Dawson. pas
tor of the church, dismissed the Sunday
school. He made the announcement that
a memorial service for the dead girl
would be held at 6 o'clock. This serv-
ice was attended by about 800 children
and while 1T was going on an under
taker came to the church and took
charge OF the body.
Mr.. Dawson announced to the con-
gregation that on account of the destl
tute condition of tha dead girls family
the trustees would defray the entire ex
penses of the funeral ana also purchase
Il grave for the body in whatever ceme-
terry the parents desired.

Trouble Over Wage Scale Seems
Very Likely to Terminate In
Strike of Employees
ROAD PREPARES FOR TROUBLE
Public Statements Issued by Both
Sides of the Controversy and Each
Seems Determined Not to YieId-ln-
diana Conference Promises Harmon
ious Proceedings.

ST. Louis Mo-. March 3.-Late yester-
| day the committee acting for the
Wabash employees served notice on
President Ramsey that their demands
ed to or the men would quit work to-
day at noon. This was their ultimatum.
President aRmsey in Spouse replied
that the Wabash could not concede the
advance. while willing to pay the same
scale OF wages as competing lines on
both sides of the river; that If the men
decided to go on strike under the cir
cumstances, the railroad company
would do all in it's power to get along
without their services.
All the Indications point to strike
being ordered. While it is known that
many of the firemen are opposed to this
action, yet they will be bound by the
action of the majority. The manage
ment of the Wabash is making every
effort to be prepared for the expected
trouble. Both sides to the controversy
have issued public statements covering
the situation from their standpoint.
Each seems determined not to yield.
Should strike be ordered, which
looks to be inevitable, it Will seriously
embarrass operations on the lines of the
Wabash east and west, as some 1900
men will be called out. embracing train
men, firemen. and yardmen.
The conductors have accepted the adj
vance conceded by the company and
consequently will not go out. but with

HE TALKS SIGN LANGUAGE.
Archie Roosevelt Mystifies Visitors at
the White House.

| Washington. March 3. Archie
Roosevelt, 10 years old, is an adept in
| the sign language. He was taught to
use thu symbols of the deaf and dumb
lby policeman of the white house
squad, who at one time was employed
in a deaf mute school. Now he and the
policeman carry on a conversation daily
in a language which TIL president does
mot understand. When we get back
Ito Oyster Bay next summer l shall
|have Archie teach it to me-, said the
president to friend who in astonish-
ment watched the boy md the police
man talk In the mysterious language
Archie is very anxious to act as inter-
prefer for his father when deaf mutes
,call at the white house. but the prssi-
dent rejects his proffer.

New York Bankers Differ With
Western Men on the Al
drich Bill
CHICAGO CRITICS CRITICIZED
Claims Made That the Benefits of the
Measure Would Be General to the
Whole country-Would Not Affect
Government Money Now in the
Bank

New York, March 3.-New York
bankers do not agree with those Chi
cago bankers who are opposed to the
provision OF the Aldrich bill which
makes a charge to national bank de-
ipositories of / " per cent a year on
government funds deposited with them.
They say the point that such an inter-
est charge would make the use of gov
lernment deposits SO costly that the
banks instead of increasing their pres
ent holdings of government money
would reduce them materially, is not
well taken. In fact, high official
of one of the largest of the Wall street
banks today said that in few hours
he could form a syndicate OF New
York banks which in consideration Of
a small commission would undertake
to guarantee that the Aldrich bill as
lit stands would not result in single
dollar of reduction in the amount of
government money held by national
banks.
In the remarks of officials of three
of the principal New York banks to-
day it was impossible to detect word
of agreement with the contention of
Chicago bankers. 1t is true that il the
government charged " per cent on adj
vances to national banks under present
conditions there would be no induce
ment for national banks to take gov
eminent money, for the IL per cent,
added to the 2 per cent rental which
would have to be paid for government
bonds to secure government deposits,
would bring the cost of the money to
about the ruling call money rate.
But the available supply of govern
ment bonds is limited, as shown by the
difficulty in securing s1o,000,000 for re-
dernption last fall, while bonds of the
classes which the Aldrich bill provides
shall be accepted as security for gov
eminent deposits are plentiful. In
fact, it is believed these bonds are so
plentiful that they could not command
Il rental greater than one-half Of l per
cent year of the bank borrowing them
to put up as collateral TO secure adj
vances of government funds. Thus.
government funds would not cost the
banks more than 2 per cent. which is
equal to the rental which government
bonds to be used as government securi-
ty now command.
Francis l.. Hine, vice president of the
First National Bank. discussing the AL
drich bill. approved 1T With the state
ment: The Aldrich bill ought to be
entitled: A bill designed to give the
people the use of their own money
without risk to the government and at
q minimum profit to the national
banks"
THE measure" he continued. us not
to be looked upon frc,n the narrow
standpoint of a banker seeking the
highest interest return possible and
looking for the largest margin between
the cost of funds and the rate at which
he puts them out to borrowers. The
benefits from the Aldrich bill will come
in the form of continuation of the
general prosperity of The country, of
which every municipalities and labor
ing man-shall have his share

Bishop Grafton Talks of Episcopal
Plans

Fon Du Lac, Wis, March 3.-Bishor
C. C. Grafton returned home yesterday
from six weeks spent in the east, at
tending to ecclesiastical matters. Con-
corning the suggested change of the
name of the Episcopal church he said:
1.-The name of Protestant has lost
its primal significance and is no longer
needed by us to define the church's an
tagonistic position toward Rome any
more than any other religious body,
There seems to be growing number
who favor the name American Catho-
lie"
Regarding the division of the church
into provinces, the Bishop said:
This system would allow for the
erection of court of appeals from the
rulings of the diocesan ones--a need
which is universally recognized. II
would give strength to missionary
agencies of the church, an increaseG->y
