years, which caused the mother to grieve
incessantly She learned that a certain
spiritualist medium in Chicago was able to
work OUT photographs of persons even

that her wish could be granted. and that a
photograph of the dead boy could be pro-

She was seated so that she could look out

appearance of her son. Great was her sur

but later developing, the true features of
her dead boy. She was filed with delight.

the photograph home. and those who knew

of Powerss office and of the search for the
assassin The search continued no further
than that room, and as soon as he and
others there learned what had been done
they began preparing to protect themselves.
He did not see Howard in the hall, and
his recollection was that Grant Roberts
and Sam Shepherd, clerks in the auditors
Office were the only ones In the hall when
he first went out. He said he had been
offered immunity by the prosecution when
Powers was on trial If he would testify that
he led the assassin into and out of the sec

MAlNIENANCE OF fEACE
''Mr. Hanna praises the joint agreements
entered into between the bituminous miners
and operators. He says that peace has been
maintained by virtue OF these agreements
for five years in the bituminous industry.
We had an instance of what the cost of this
peace is by the joint agreement made this
spring at Indianapolis Under the threat of
strike the operators yielded TO a demand
for an increased scale that gave the miners
Is cents a ton additional over what they
had been receiving and making their wages
far in excess Of the standard paid in other
employments of similar grade. Since 1895
the wages of these miners have been in
creased by the joint agreement method
AZ per cent for mine-run coal. The miner
says to the operator, Charge the extra

shut down. Does Mr.. Hanna mean to ap-
prove of a method of adjusting wages which
so totally disregards the interests of the
consumer?
