MILLER MAY STAY
IN FOR A TIME
BookbInders VIII Do Nothing While
Government Is Investigating.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July 25.-The
Bookbinders' union, which has been fight
ing the reinstatement of w. A. Miller
the assistant foreman in the government
printing office who was dismissed be-
cause of his expulsion from the union and
later ordered reinstated under an execu-
tive order, has abandoned any intention
Of walking out in case Miller resumes
work. The leaders have decided to abide
by the decision of the public printer and
avoil any clash with the government.
The bookbinders assert that the matter
will be adjusted satisfactorily and that
on account of the new charges which
have been fled Miller will be dropped
from the service The charges, which are
the ones on which Miller's expulsion from
the union are based, are under investiga-
ton by government officials.
Miller reported this morning and was
assigned to duty. He remained only few
minutes and left after explaining that
Saturday was a short day and he would
wait until Monday for further work. The
union officials announced today that there
would be no action on their part for thir-
ty days, during which they expected the
question would be solved by the public
printer. 1t is expected that a national
arbitration council will meet tomorrow to
discuss the situation.
The union officials today called on Sec
retary Cortelyou and Public Printer Pal
mer and left with them statement re-
garding what was done at the meeting Of
the Bookbinders' union last night. The
statement set forth that Miller would be
permitted under protest to continue in
the position to which he has been REIN
stated and nothing would be done at pres
ent by the Bookbinders' union that would
interfere with the work of the office. 1t
gave assurance that this action is in
spired by regard for the action of the
president and for the federal statutes and
expresses the belief that the charges
against Miller will be -substantiated on in
vestigation. A similar statement was
filed with the civil service commission.

GRAND JURY INQUIRY
PROVES A FARCE
Intimidation Said to Have Saved Ken
lucky. FeudIsts From Indictment.

JACKSON, KY, July 25.-The grand
jury adjourned this afternoon without re-
turning any additional indictments. The
foreman reported that just as the jury
was about to take a vote on one of the
feud cases ex-senator Alex Hargis rush
ed into the room and demanded that Riley
Coldiron, who had testified against the
alleged assassins of Town Marshal James
Cockrill, be indicted for perjury, and that
this interruption caused the jury to close
its investigation.
1t is stated that threats were made
against Charles Green and that he was
intimidated SO that he failed to identify
the alleged assassins of Cockrill. 1t is
charged that the investigation was so in
terrupted by the intimidation of wit
nesses and by friends preventing the ap-
tpearance of others that it was deemed
useless to continue the investigation. az
BY a vote of 8 to 4 the grand jury re-
fused to indict Deputy William Britton
on the charge of being accessory in muir
dering Cockrill. The jury refused to in
dict Coldiron and ordered his release as
we'll as that of Spicer and Britton be-
cause of insufficient evidence. Mckinley
Cockrill a brother of the assassinated
town marshal, claims that the prosecu-
tion has not been sufficiently pushed
against the assassins of his brother. The
anti -Cockrin people are openly jubilant.

MILWAUKEE BUYS
LARGE SOFT COAL
FIELD IN ILLINOIS
Observation-Disclosures
Valley Becomes the Property
of Railroad Company Rail
Extension Is Built to Mines.

Rv the purchase Of a 1,000-acre tract
near Spring Valley, ILL.,, the Milwaukee
has come into the possession of one
of the most valuable bituminous coal
mines in the Central West. The prop
erty which is within 100 miles of Chi
cago, is so rich that it will supply the
road with more than SO per cent OF
the soft coal needed for the operation
of the system.
To reach the new coal fields it has
been necessary to construct a line
forty miles long, from Ladd to Ro-
chelle, ILL., This read now is about
completed and is known as the Ro-
chelIe & Southern, although it has
been built by the Milwaukee.
The soft coal obtained from the
Spring Valley district is excellent Tor
steaming purposes. Because of the
ideal situation of the mines, the COM
pany can rush quantities of it without
trouble to all of it's principal division
headquarters. 1t is but sixty miles
from the mines to Davis Junction.
From there coal cars can be shipped
direct east to Chicago or west to Sa-
wanna. Milwaukee, where are located
the principal railroad shops Of the
system, can be reached either by way
of Rockton, GAINESVILLE, Milton and the
Prairie du Chen division, or by way of
the Racine and Southwestern division,
to Corliss Junction, and then into Mil
Waukee.
For a number Of years the Milwau-
kee has been planning to get a source
of coal supply nearer to Chicago.
Most of the coal has been shipped
from West Virginia. The situation last
year, when at first there was a scarcity
of coal and later a car shortage, is
to complete arrangements whereby it
would be assured of an unfailing
source of fuel supply.
About six months ago the Milwaukee
secured an option of the rich coal fields
near Spring Valley. Shortly after
wards the construction of the new Ro-
chells & Southern line was COM
menced.
There has been no little discussion in
railroad circles as to which system
was behind the new road. Running.
almost due south from Rochelle, ILL.,,
to Ladd, ILL.,, the line intersects the
Chicago & North Western, the Chica-
go. Burlington & Quincy and the Iowa,
Illinois & Indiana systems.
It's northern terminal is at Rochelle,
a station twenty miles south of Davis
Junction. on the line of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul. Davis juno
ton and Rochelle are connected by the
Burlington, with whom it is under
stood the Milwaukee has reached an
agreement concerning a joint use of
its tracks.
1t is expected that the Milwaukee
will begin the operation of it's new
mines about Sept. I, when traffic will
be opened on the Rochelle & Southern.
Machinery has been purchased and is
now being set in position. What the
price paid for the mining property was.
officials of the Milwaukee declined to
say.

suit of a head-on collision on the Boston

THOUSANDS OF WOMEN
LOSE THEIR GOOD MONEY
"Local Secretaries" Fall to Get Their Trip
to Detroit.

NEW YORK. July 25.-Hundreds of
credulous women in this city and through
out the country have been taken in by an
ingenious swindle just run to cover in
Detroit. Each victim was mulcted from
SIS to SIS. the sums aggregating many
thousands of dollars. The fraud was per-
fected under the name of league of
women the alleged objects of which are
woman suffrage, national temperance,
etc. Owing to the similarity of the name,
with that of a well known organization
the work of securing victims was easy
Advertisements were published early in
June for '.local secretaries, to whom a
salary of $500 was offered Those who
answered were the recipients of. glowing
letters and finally received checks for SIS
to pay the expense of trip to Detroit
!, The intending secretary was warned
cured by sending SIS to an alleged pas
senger agent in Cleveland within three
days. The checks We're hurriedly cashed
protested. The seeker of employment
therefore was minus SIS in good money
which presumably fell into the hands Of
the swfndlers in Cleveland.

GAVE DIRECTIONS FOR BURIAL.
C. E. Miller Dies at Y. M. C. A. Building
Probably RY Suicide

C. e. Miller Dies at Y. M. C. A. Building,
Probably BY Suicide.
A man who had given the name of C.
p. Miller was found dead at the Y M.
c. A. building about $3.50 o'clock last
night under circumstances that point
strongly to suicide.
When found the man was lying on a
couch in small lounging room just off
from the reading room, and from the con-
dition of the body it is thought that he
had been dead since early yesterday fore
noon. On his person was found a paper
giving his name and stating that the Mac
cabees would attend to his funeral.
Miller appeared at the I. M. C.. A. a
few days ago and asked for work. In the
course of the conversation he said that he
had worked in a blacksmith shop at the
corner of Hennepin avenue and Sixth
street, but he gave the impression that he
had been away from Minneapolis for
about a year. He seemed completely dis
couraged, and to this is attributed his
act.
