BOURgE COCHRAN WILL
ACCEPT NOMINATION
To Be Tammany Halls Candidate to
Succeed Mayor~Elect McClel-
Ian in Congress.

NEW YORK. Dec Nv. Bourke
Cochran will be nominated by Tammany
Hall to succeed Mayor-elect George 3.
Mcclellan as the Representative from
the Twelfth Congressional district. as
soon as Mr.. Mcclellan resigns his seat
to undertake his duties as the municipal
executive. That was determined at Mr..
Cockran's office. where he met Charles
F. Murphy and gave the Tammany Hall
leader his consent to run.
Yes. Mr.. Cochran has finally consent
ed to make the run for Congress" said
Mr.. Murphy. "and II Is certainly a mat
ter Of qualification to US all that he
has. for, Of course. he will take a COM
handing stand in the House of Repre-
sentatives. 1t also must be appreciated
that Mr.. Cochran, IN becoming a cam
didate. has made a personal sacrifice
and reiinquishes much Of his law prac-
tice to take up the duties of a Repre-
sentative"
From an authoritative source IL was
learned that Mr.. Murphy made the ten
der of the nomination for Congress 10
Mr.. Cochran Immediately after the re-
cent municipal election, but at that time
Mr. Cochran declined 20 become a cam
didate. saying II would involve alto
gether too great a sacrifice on his part
II is the general understanding in
Tammany circles that Mr. Mcclellan
will send his resignation to the governor
either on his return TO New York Sat
urday or by the early part OF next week
at the latest. thus giving the governor
an opportunity TO call the special cleo
ton to MI the vacancy so II can be
held early IN January.

come all this bother and produced a
pra ctical writing tool which is as easy

MITCHELL EXPLAINS
COLORADO SITUATION
United Mine Workers Not
Involved in Trouble.
MAY CALL ON THE PRESIDENT
~our Strike" Says He, els Progressing,
and We Expect to Win
Victory"

None of the Colorado members of the
United Mine Workers of America are
involved in the troubles which have re-
suited in the destruction of property,
the suspension of the habeas corpus, the
imposition OF martial law. and the
bloodshed in the Silver State. And such
being the case President John Mitchell
has nothing in the nature Of an appeal
or a protest TO lay before the Presi-
dent
Mr.. Mitchell, however. may make a
call at the White House simply TO pay
his respects. The matter that brought
the head of the miners organization TO
Washington is routine business to be
transacted by the executive committee
Of the American Federation of Labor.
Coal Miners Strike.
The United Mine Workers are diggers
of coal exclusively. and some of them
are on strike In the northern part of
Colorado, and others are out at Trini-
dad, on the southern boundary line.
These strikes have been quiet, so far 10
disorder being reported. There are no
troops anywhere near the mines. and
none have been asked for.
''The people in the East" said Presi-
dent Mitchell this morning "seem TO be
inclined 10 confuse the miners of metal
ores with the coal miners of our organi-
cation. There is no connection between
the two. Except that both work under
ground everything is dissimilar. We are
In the fuel field exclusively.
Conditions in Colorado.
The troops are in the Cripple Creek,
the Telluride. and other districts where
the gold and silver deposits are located.

civil law. are. IL is reported. being herd
ed by troops in ramshackle structures

the Infamous bull pen at Couer de
Alene, Idaho. several years ago. They
have an organization, but IL is weak be-
cause IL has no national affiliation like
the American Federation OF Labor to aid
them. as have the coal miners.
Our strike is progressing very well. -
continued Mr. Mitchell land we have
every prospect Of winning a victory The
matter at Issue is shorter hours and bet
ter pay. / have no information except
that obtained from the newspapers con-
corning the metal miners trouble OF
course, we hope they will win and Will
aid them so far as we are able"
No definite date has been fixed for the
adjournment of the executive commit
tee meeting.

DEMOCRATS NOT UNIT
ON PANAMA QUESTION
Differences of Opinion
Shown in Debate.
PENSION BILL THE VEHICLE
Some Criticise Presidents Course. 9th
ers Believe 1t Good Policy to Let
the Matter Pass.

While the pension appropria ton bill
has been under consideration in the
House for the past four days the dis
cussion has taken a wide range, from
tariff and great international questions
to such local matters as rural free de-
livery routes. but the major portion OF
the time has been occupied by debate
on the Panama question.
The last pension appropriation bill
was passed three minutes after it was
called up in the House, and without a
word of debate or a dissenting vote, but
this session there is more time, the
House has little business ready to
transact, and will not settle down to
real work until after the holidays, and
hence there is a disposition to lust
talk" as Speaker Cannon characterizes
the debate
