BELIEVES IN THE TRUSTS.
James B. Dill Says the Movement vii
Stimulate Education.

st. Paul. June 4-James p. Dill of New
York delivered the address at the COM
mencement of the University of Mnne-
sofa today, his subject being Outlook for
the College Graduate in America" He
declared that the trust movement, in
stead OF restricting the field for educated
men and women, opened for them new
opportunities for usefulness.
1.-The corporation movement" he said,
'1nstead of crowding men out, has opened
for them new fields of usefulness, and
has increased the financiai returns for in
telligent concentrated effort. 1t has to
a large extent eliminated the prestige of
rich mems sons and ended the career
of the Miss Nancy type From motives
of self-nterest alone, no corporation can
recognize the pull basis of making APP
pointments.
when the trust movement shall have
steadied itself; when 1t shall have eradi-
Gated wrong tendencies and strengthened
those elements which are right. then of
the men In charge Of great combinations
will be required not alone an intimate
knowledge Of the business Itself but the
training to be derived from a university
course"

Danger Passing Away.
Wilkesbarre Pa, June 4.-The danger
of a strike seems to be already passing
away, even before the decision of the con-
vention of miners, which Is to meet in
Pottsville within ten days. This is due to
the statements of the coal companies Of
ficials and superintendents that If the
mine workers at their convention should
re-eleet the three district presidents as
their representatives on the conciliation
board by majority vote there would be
no further objection to their eligibility to
serve on the board. This action will most
likely be taken at the coming convention,
as the leaders of the mine workers are
not desrous of forcing the Issue to a
suspension of work unless they can find
no other alternative. Considerable dis
satisfaction exists In the different dis
tricts over the delay in adjusting differ
ences, and the refusal of the coal COM
pany's representa- tives TO recognize their
peace envoys has further irritated the
miners, and If there was no other al
ternatiye there is no doubt that the sus-
pension would be ordered.
The mine workers officials are conf
dent of this.

HANNA YEAR To
Be HAPPY EPOCH
Trouble Ends With "Hanna,Hef-
rick, Harding and Harmony
ALL HATCHETS ARE BURIED
Myran T. Herrlek Is Unanimously
Chosen for Governor, and Free
for-All Race Is Run for the
Minor Offices.

Columbus, O.. June 4-The republican
state convention closed today with much
ALTERATION in It's battle cry. At the con-
vention yesterday, Senator Hanna said
Hands off" Today while Senator For
aker was presiding the delegates added
to the "H's" the cry of Hanna, Herrick,
Harding and Harmony" 1t seemed to be
the policy to have harmony on the
ticket, as well as In the declaration OF
principles While all conceded that It was
',Hannas year" yet he would not use
his influence except for the head Of the
ticket in naming his neighbor Myron
7. Herricl1 for governor The senator's
great friend. George B. Cox of Cincinnati
certainly named Warren G. Harding for
lieutenant governor and Wade Hampton
Ellis for attorney general, as well as
being the most potentian factor in nomi-
Mating Judge Summers. Auditor Guilbert
and others especially McKinnon for treas
urer. were strongly endorsed.
Gulbert Gets Third Term.
OF the three candidates for third terms
Guibert was the only winner.
While Senator Foraker expressed his
qualification over the ticket and the re-
suits generally he was especially gratifled
over the unanimous adoption of resolu-
tion which endorsed President Roosevelts
nomination, as well as his administration.
1t has been anticipated. as Congressman
Nevin said in his speech today. that Sena-
tors Hanna and Foraker would lock horns
over the endorsement of Roosevelt's cam
ddacy, but instead they had locked arms
and were now leading the Ohio republi-
cans In this campaign more harmoniously
than ever.
There was never more talk about fixing
a slate in advance of the convention than
this year, but the baloting indicated that
such was not the case for at least some
of the minor places. 1t is stated that
neither Hanna nor Herrick wanted to go
into the campaign under such a charge
and that they did not want to be held
responsible for third term rule" and all
who were on the proposed slate. At any
rate, they did not exercise their personal
influence in giving the word" ana Ieft
the hall before the nominations for
minor places were made. In the free
for-all' races that followed the conven-
ton was al times uncomfortable, even
by such a commanding presiding officer
as Senator Foraker.
The Ticket.
The ticket is as follows.
Governor-Myron T. Herrck of Cuya-

Yesterday afternoon w. S. George was
told that the police had statement from
John Bibb and that it accused him of
committing the crime. He denied the
charges in the letter from beginning to
end and stated that the allegations were
made to get even with him for telling the
police. In his statement George also ac-
cused John Bibb of robbing the cash
drawer of the Woodward saloon of large
amount of money. He said
Il came to Birmingham about the first
of April and stopped at the Morris hotel
for a while, but found that two expensive

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. June 4-wi

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 4-With
the prospect of resumption of the
strike in the anthracite region Of
Pennsylvania, President Mitchell of the
United Mine Workers this morning was
unwilling to make any statement.
II do not wish to anticipate" he said.
Concerning the chief point to the con-
troversy that now seems likely to pro-
woke a renewal OF hostilities that of
whether or not the men selected by the
miners organization should be members
of the board of conciliation authorized by
the board of arbitration, he said
THE statement that the question of
recognizing the United Mine Workers was
never submitted to the strike commission,
is entirely untrue. That was one of the
ing of 1t being that the miners organi-
zation,' which Is, of course, the United
Mine Workers, should have three repre-
sentatlves on the board of conclllation,
one for each district Naturally I, at that
time, appeared for the anthracite coal
workers before the strike commission, but
1t was as president of the mine workers
that was given the right to do so. The
argument of District President Fahey.
In which he says that 1t would be as
logical for us to demand that each stock
holder of the coal companies be consulted
with regard to the selection of the oper-
ators' members of the board of conclllation
as that all the miners in the region vote
