BITUMYoUs coal operators in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are
preparing to demand a reduction OF
twenty per cent. in wages at the joint
conference with the miners next month.
If this reduction in the wages of the
miners is made it is hoped that cores
ponding reduction in the price of coal
may follow, so that the consumers may
be relieved of the imposition to which
they have been subjected for the past
wear or more.

The Grand Lodge of Masons of Vir-
ginia last night in Richmond elected
officers for the ensuing year. and will
hold its final sessions today and adjourn
this evening to meet in Richmond on
the second Tuesday in February, 1908,
thus leaving an interval of fourteen
months between sessions, owing to The
change of date A noteworthy feature
of the session of the grand body this
wear is the omission Of the banquet
which usually marks the close of the
Grand Lodge session. Owing to the
expense and time required for banquet
it was decided to dispense with 1t this
wear and probably hereafter, thus saving
the Grand Lodge treasury about $500
this year alone.
The feature of the Grand Lodge ses-
sion, as usual, was the election Of Off
GERS, and of this the contest for grand
Junior deacon, from which the successful
aspirant usually climbs to the pinnacle
of grand master by the usual gradations.
For this honor there was a lively COM
petition with every geographical division
represented among the aspirants. After
long balloting, the Grand Lodge about
midnight elected William B. McChes-
ney, of Stanton, one Of the best known
and brightest masons in the State. Mr..
w. L. Andrews, of Roanoke, was
strong competitor.
The full roster of elective officers was
as follows: Grand Master, Thomas n.
Davis, of Lynchburg; Deputy Grand
Master, Kosciusko Kemper, of Alex
andria; Grand Senior Warden, Sylvanus
J. Quinn, of Fredericksburg; Grand
Junior Warden, J. w. Eggleston, OF
Richmond; Grand Treasurer, w. Fred
Peasants, of Richmond; Grand Secre-
tary, DR.. George w. Darlington, of
Richmond; Grand Chaplain, Rev. George
II. Ray, d. D.; Grand Senior Deacon,
DR.. J. w. Kellam, of Accomac; Grand
Junior Deacon, William B. McChesney,
of Staunton Grand Tiler, w. G. Wiki
inson, of Richmond. The appointive
officers have not yet been chosen. The
session of the Grand Lodge was one of
the busiest and best attended in many
years, there being representatives from
two hundred lodges and many more
persons in attendance on the sessions.
Among those in attendance were many
of the younger members of the order,
showing a lively interest on the part
of the young men. 1t was business

entirely from the Democratic side and
was based chiefly on the ground that
the transfer of the bureau of labor to

MED the assumption that the head of
the new department would be hostile
to labor.

MAMMOTH MODERN MILL.
Hot Pond land All Latest Appliances
for O'8rien & Cooks Plant.

A portable mill is cutting $4,000
feet daily of dimension stuff for the
new sawmill of O'Brien. & Cook at
Virginia, and most of the material is
on the ground. Foundations for the
mill buildings are in and the frame
work is being erected. The mill is to
be 4Sx170 feet, with engine and boiler
houses additional, with single mill
forty-eight feet square. Boilers of 500
horsepower are to be installed, with
driving power amply large. A hot
pond will be built and the mill will be
built the year round. It is to have a
daily capacity of 100000 feet and is to
be very up-to-date affair. The y..rd
alleys will be all equipped with tram
roads and cars, and all lumber will be
thus delivered from the saws.
AS soon as the electric lighting plant
can be installed work on the mill will
go on day and night, and it is hoped to
be running by March Is. The ma
chinery contracts went to the Dia-
mond Iron Works of Minneapolis for
the main machinery; to the E. P. Allis
company for the carriages, and to the

Thousands OF Tons Lie Idle While

Milwaukee, Jan. Is. - The charges
that there is enough anthracite coal in

porarily at least, has been substan-
tiated by the common council investi-
eating committee. While thousands
of people in the city have been beg

of crying and appealing women have
been turned away from coal Offices.
and while untold suffering and illness
have been caused in the last few
weeks, all for the lack of fuel, 10000
tons, more than was needed to end
all this misery, has been lying idle in
storage at the yards Of the Lehigh.
Valley Coal company. This, in brief,
was the startling discovery made by,
aldermen yesterday. Whether the
coal was held for high prices is not
known, as the agents decline to make.

JURY STRIKES OUT.
Several Official Heads Hard Hit In Re
port of Grand Jury.

Several Official Heads Hard Hit In Re-
port of Grand Jury.
The work of S. T. Johnson, state
public examiner. has borne fruit in
Polk county. The grand jury has
been making a thorough overhauling
OF county officers. and submits numer-
GUS and general charges of negligence
on the part of county officials.
The jury picks many flaws in the
conduct of the auditors office. 1t re-
ports that many claims have been al
lowed by the commissioners and audi
tors warrants issued for them which
are not itemized, as well as many
which are not verified Bills for SER
vices, not showing where the services
were rendered or upon what authority;
for goods or merchandise, not showing
the amount or price or by whom or
dered or received. These bills having
been passed and duly signed by the
chairman and warrants drawn for
them, being duly attested by the audi
tor lays the commissioners directly
liable for the penalty and the auditor
and bondsmen liable for the penalty
provided for the violation of law by
such officer, one of which is removal
from Office.
1t was also found by the jury that
the county treasurer has in an unb1si-
nesslike way accepted and drawn his
check in payment of warrants without
the same having been Endorsed or as
signed and that the treasurer's checks
are often paid without the indorse-
ment of the person to whom drawn or
his agent, in fact, frequently, not in
dorsed at all, thus leaving in many in
stances an illegal transaction from
the reception of the bill to and includ-
ing it's payment.
The records also show that many
| checks drawn to various persons bear
| an Endorsement made by the county
treasurer, which is illegal and leaves
the county liable to future suits to de-
termine whether the original bill has
been paid or not. The records further
show that the official acts of the COM
missioners as reported in the record
book of their official proceedings do
not show such details of their trans
actions as is necessary to legal rec
ord. e <;
The jury also holds that bills have
been paid for public printing largely in
excess of the actual measurement
and price named in the contract, the
bills running back for a long term of
years. A complete overhauling, class
ification and filing of all county rec
ords, books, bills, papers, warrants,
checks, orders and miscellaneous &C.
counts is recommended.

YOUNG CLARK SAID TO HAVE
ACKNOWLEDGED THAT AS
HIS MOTIVE.

Butte, Mont, Jan. 16.-Judge w. E.
W. Harvey of the district court, who is
charged with immortality and corrup-
ton in connection with his decision
Of the famous $10,O00OO0 Minnie
Healy mine case in favor of F. August
Heinze, yesterday told for the first
time of an alleged attempt to bride
him, made by Charles w. Clark, son of
United States Senator w. A. Clark, in
behalf Of the Amalgamated Copper
company, to grant the latter new
trial, the story being told at the trial
of Arthur ]. Shores, chief attorney of
the Amalgamated Copper company, in
the disbarment proceedings instituted
by Mr.. Harvey.
Harvey said Clark claimed he and
his father were interested in the mat
ter because of their desire to crush
Heinze, who had become a political
upstart and was trying to take Sena-
tor Clark's place as leader in Montana.
Young Clark then told Harvey accord
ing to the latter's testimony, that the
Amalgamated people had evidence
Enough to Ruin Him
and send him to the penitentiary, and
that he would be arrested the follow
make statement admitting that he
had been bribed, resign his position on
the bench and leave the country He
said he had been authorized by Shores
to offer him 100000 for doing SO. The
price was finally raised to $250,O00,
but Harvey declared his innocence
and defed his enemies.
The following day the sensational
afidavits were made in court, precipi-
tating the Harney-Brackett scandal, in
which Mrs. Ada H. Bracket was rep
resented as being an employe Of
| Heinze and using most scandalous
| methods to influence Harvey.
Harney's sensational recital had not
been concluded when court adjourned
last evening.
Charles W. Clark, who is also
charged with bribery, is at his new
home at San Mateo, CAL, and has not
been arrested, though he is out on bail
on another charge of bribery.

coal that falls from passing trains.
Local dealers are filling only small
orders.
