Soft Coal Miners Won't.

Springfield, Ill.,, Jan. 13.-Adam
Menache of Chicago. president of the
State Federation of Labor, who is
here tonight, was shown a dispatch
stating that the grand jury which is
investigating the alleged coal COM
bines in Chicago, will ask the min
ers of Illinois to work 10 hours per
day in order to relieve the situation
which exists, owing to the scarcity
of coal. Mr.. Menache said very en-
phatically that the miners would new
er consent to this. He declared that
the operators and the railways were
solely to blame for the existing con
ditions and that some of the mines in
the state are idle because of the scar
city of coal cars.
Mr.. Menache declared that there
are today SO miles of loaded coal cars
in Chicago alone, and that they have
been there for some time.

APPEALS TO 1.-THE MINERS
ARE ASKED TO GET OUT ALL
COAL POSSIBLE.
President Mitchell Issues Circular to
the United Mine Workers
of America.

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 13.-Presi-
dent Mitchell has issued the following
circular letter to all local unions in
the anthracite district:
"You are no doubt aware that Sc
rious coal famine exists in all the
eastern and seaboard cities, due to
shortage of the anthracite coal supply.
"The situation has reached an
acute stage and has resulted in great
suffering and hardship to the poor of
the cities whose earnings are insult
icient to enable them to pay the ex-
cessive prices now being charged for
fuel, and it is subjecting the general
public to great inconvenience. To
relieve the situation and alleviate the
situation, and las far as possible,
the suffering now being endured, is
the duty of everyone connected with
the production of coal.
with this end in view. we are
prompted to address this communica'
ton to all members of our union and
request that they cooperate with the
management of the mines in an eff
fort to increase the production OF
coal.
THE gravity of the situation is
such as to require that every mine
worker shall exert himself and use
every means at his command to this
end.
Upon reading this communication
in the columns Of the daily papers,
local unions should hold meetings
and devise methods by which the
daily output of the mines could be
increased. These efforts should be
continued until the weather moder
ates and the great necessity for fuel
shall have passed"

Western Roads Will Increase Size OF
Grains.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-General a
DOORS of all the western roads have
lust agreed on a plan to effect a re-
duction in operating expenses to on
set the increase in price of all rail-
wav supplies and labor. The plan is

about 20 per cent, SO that fewer, but
longer trains can be hauled, thereby

by the managers.

WOODWARD APPEARS BEFORE
THE SUPREME COURT.
SAYS He HAD PERMISSION
Was Hurried to Catch Train and Took
Advantage Of Offer Previ-
ousIy Made.

Helena, Jan. 13.-Before the bar of
the supreme court, F. G. Woodward,
recently elected prosecuting attorney
of Carbon county, answered to grave
charges this afternoon. Sidney Fox
OF Red Lodge alleges, in affidavits cor
roborated by others, that Woodward
forged his name and that of Fox's
partner to a recommendation which
Woodward used recently to gain ad-
mittance to the state bar.
Woodward's defense is this: He
claims that Fox had been a close
friend to him, and that he had done
Fox many favors. He says that Fox
had told him to use his name in such
a matter at any time he saw fit. This
he says he did in all sincerity. Wood
ward also cites the fact that he had
numerous other letters of recommen-
dalton for admission to the bar, and
that the Fox letter was by no means
necessary for him to get the diploma.
The hearing was to have come on
at 10 o'clock in the morning. Wood
ward was in court, but stated that
he had been served with no copies of
the afidavits. He asked time to ex-
anime them and the court granted un-
til 2 o'clock. 1t was after that hour,
however, when the court took up the
consideration of the case
In the affidavit filed it is claimed
that Woodward never asked for a
recommendation and that he stole let
ter heads from Fox's Office and forg-
ed Sidney Fox's signature.
Woodward has filed an affidavit in
which he makes the defense outlined.
In this affidavit he declares that he
had communicated with Assistant At
torney General George Patton, who
advised him to come to the capitol at
once with certain credentials. 1t was
II O'Clock then and his train left at
12:45. He says that he went to Fox's
office to secure a recommendation,
and found no one in. After awaiting
the arrival of the lawyers for a time,
he wrote out an Endorsement on the
firms letter head and signed Sidney
Fox's name, relying on their past
relations to make it right.
On his return to Red Lodge, he

done, and was then informed that
the matter would be laid before the
court. Woodward denied any intent
to do wrong in the matter, but admit
ter signing Sidney Fox's name to
his Endorsement.

FIRE AT THE WAsHOE.
Loss Will Amount to About Fifty
Thousand Dollars.

Loss Will Amount to About FIFTY
Thousand Dollars.
Anaconda, Jan. 13.-Fire which
started in bins at the Washoe smelter
tonight, probably from spontaneous
combustion, resulted in the loss of
$50, 900. The bins are used for the
storage of coke, coal and concentrate.
Being of wood they burned iercely
and one entire section of 40 bins was
destroyed.
The track used for hauling material
to and from the bins was cucumber
ed by the debris and operations will
be slightly interfered with for a day
or two. Gussie Short "a boy employ
ed at the works, while watching the
fire, slipped and fell into one of the
bins and sustained serious internal
injuries. Oficers of the company
say the fire was due to the dumping
of STAG or molten matter into the
bins, which communicated to the tim
bers surrounding.
President Scallon states that the
fire will not cause any interruption IN
the operations of the works. The fire
was extinguished by the company's
fire department.

HAUL FLAG DOWN..
Schureman Thinks Filipinos Should
BE Given Their independence.

BE Given Their independence.
Columbia, Mo-, Jan. 13.-In a speech
before the students of Missouri uni
versity DR.. Jacob G. Schureman, pres
ident of the Cornell university and
member of the Philippine commits
sion, said the Philippine islands
should be given their independence.
Haul down their flag he said,
whenever it's work is done. There
are but three ways to dispose OF the
islands; hold them as subjects, adj
nit them as states or giving them
their independence.
"The first course will result in con-
tinual warfare with them; the second
course is not practicable; the third
course is the only practicable and
sensible one. Some say don't haul
down the flag, but the work OF the
flag is finished and it should be haul
ed down."

NEW TRIALS ARE GRANTED.
Court Erred in Admitting Statements
Made by Defendants.

Made by Defendants.
Helena, Jan. 13.-The Donaldson
Broadbent sheep stealing a has
been renanded for another trial, large
ly because OF rulings of the lower
court concerning alleged confessions
of the defendant, Donaldson. The al
legged new evidence for the defense
was not touched on. Associate JUS
tice Milburn wrote the opinion, which
was delivered today. Chief Justice
Brantly concurred. Owing to the fact
that former Associate Justice William
Pigott, who concurred in the decision,
did not help prepare the opinion, his
name was not signed to the document.
William Broadbent and James Don
aldson are charged with having stolen
900 sheep more than five years ago
in Dawson county. They were con
victed and sentenced to eight years
in the penitentiary. Donaldson made
statements to the prosecution, and
the latter endeavored to get these be-
fore the jury as a part of the evidence.
1t developed that these statements,
which were in the nature of a partial
confession, were made under the idea
of obtaining bail money, and the de-
tense objected to them on the ground
that they were legally involuntary.
The supreme court holds hat the dis
trict court was wrong in admitting
them.
The cross-examination of an eX-
convict named Hand, to show that
this witness for the prosecution was
decidedly friendly to that side of the
case and hostile to the defendants,
was not allowed by the lower court,
and this affords another ground for
error sustained by the supreme court.
