Washington, Sept %. - According
to one of the leaders here, Roosevelt
effectually stopped any action by the
national executive council or the
American Federation or Labor In re-
gard to the controversy In the govern
,nent printing office over the Miller
case yesterday by sending telegram
asking the members to meet with him
and discuss the case Immediately
upon his return to Washington next
week. At least, according to one OF
the members of the council, this is the
reason that the Miller case was not
taken up at yesterdays meeting
Labor leaders refused to discuss
the telegram or to say with whom the
president communicated, but It Is gen
verally understood that the message
was sent to John Mitchell, with whom
the president is we'll acquainted. He
learned to know Mitchell during his
early efforts to settle the coal strike
last year and was greatly impressed
by the conservative views entertained
by the president of the United Mine
workers
Mitchell would not admit that he
had received such message, but he
intimated that the Miller case before
the executive council was Indefinitely
Referred
An Important Meeting.
1t is expected that the president.
who returns to Washington Monday
next, Will confer with the labor lead
ers a week from yesterday. The meet
ing and its result will be Of the utmost
importance, as it Is the presidents in
tention to induce labor leaders ger
orally to recognize the principle lap
down in the decision of the anthracite
coal strike commission of the right Of
every man to work, regardless Of the
fact whether or not he belongs to a
labor organization.
Since Mitchell arrived here with
his secretary he has been besieged
with callers Some OF the men anx
ious to get word with him repre-
sented the Democratic national com
mittee, which is doing all 1t can In a
quiet way to encourage organized Ia
Dor to carry forward the fight against
the doctrine laid down by the 4resi-
dent, that the government printing of
fee shall be an open shop.
President Mitchell since his arrival
has learned something of political In
trigue, and 1t is believed he will take
the ground that the president Of the
United States is simply standing up
for the law, the thing Mitch~ll haa
always counseled his followers to do.

There are at the present time no
club rooms in the city, outside
the saloons, where an evening

The Land, Log ind Lumber
Company Case Still
Unsettled.
CLAIMED THAT SO LOGS WERE
CUT ON PLAINTIFFS LAND.
Petit Jury Dismissed This Morn.
.ing...Court Will Adjourn
to November 5.

The jury has again disagreed
in the now-famous case Of the
Land, Log and Lumber Company
against A. L. Godbout. Taking
evidence and listening to argu-
ments on the subject in hand oc:
cupied the attention of the court
from Monday morning to II
o'clock yesterday morning, when
the case went to the jury. 1t
was announced this morning
that the jury had failed to agree.
This means that the case will
probably again come up at the
next term Of district court. The
trial at the last term resulted
the same as this.
The trouble is over SO logs
which the plaintiffs claim were
cut from +-heir land. 1t was
shown in court by pieces sawed
from stumps on the plaintiffs
land and nailed to pieces taken
from the ends Of logs in God
bouts possession, that at least
five of the logs were taken from
the company's land. Bailey and
Mcdonald were attorneys for the
plaintiff and III. ]. Loud de-
Tended.
The jury this morning returned
a verdict of $40 for the plaintiff
in the case of Joseph Berry VS..
Ollie G. Fredrickson. The trouble
arose out of the burning of some
hay belonging to the plaintiff.
Bailey and Mcdonald and Henry
Funkley we're the attorneys.
The jury was dismissed this
morning. 1t has been decided
that when the court adjourns it.
will adjourn to November 5 to
give a chance for the taking out
Of citizen papers. There are
still a number Of court cases.
It now looks as though theHenry
Buenther and state game and
fish commission matter will not
come up until next week.
