WEIGHT OR MEASURED
Anthracite Coal Question That Is
Worrying the Commission.

Worrying the Commission.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-Representa-
tives of both sides of the coal strike ques-
ton appeared before the anthracite coal
strike commission to-day. The main ques-
ton discussed was that of determining the
best method of payment of coal mined and
hinged upon the point to whether settle
ment shall be made with the men accord
ing to weight or measure. The hearing to-
day foreshadows an early report of the
commission to President Roosevelt, as it
involves practically the only issue which
remains unsettled in the minds of the COM
mission. The following statement regard
ing the meeting was given out by the COM
mission late this afternoon:
THE anthracite coal strike commission
met to-day for the purpose of consultation
with the counsel and representatives of the
miners and the coal operators, to enable
the commission to avoid a rnisunderstand
ing as to matters under its consideration,
but not to submit to the parties any con-
illusions reached by the commission or any
form of an award. One of the difficult
subjects with which the commission has
mad to deal is that of paying for coal by
weight rather than by car. Various meth
DDS have been suggested as a substitute,
length in the vOluminous testimony before
the commission. 1t was necessary, there
fore, for the commission to meet counsel
on both sides and have free and frank
talk with them. Such consultation could
not have taken place had 1t been open to
the public. No additional testimony was
asked for nor offered. The commission is
hard at work upon it's report sitting late at
night and making every endeavor to reach
a speedy conclusion. but just when de-
cision can be reached cannot be stated.
President Mitchell, of the Miners Union,
tonight said he would remain in WASH
ington until Monday, but 1T is said that
while the commission will sit tomorrow as
usual it does not expect to hear any more
witnesses.

The primary election bill. which was sent
to the printer Wednesday with instructions
from the House that it be printed and
placed on the desks of the members yes
terday did not show up for some reason,
and last evening Representative Luhring
offered motion requiring the state printer
to have the printed copies of the bill on the
desks the first thing this morning. The
motion prevailed.
The delays with this bill are causing the
friends of primary reform much concern,
and il is feared that the opponents to the
measure will succeed in killing it, either
when it is placed on its passage, or,
through some mysterious agency, prevent
ing its ever being placed before the House
on third reading.

other sanitary inspector was coming, and
the rioters went To meet him. intending to
kill him. but he was notified and concealed

JUVENILE COURT BILL PASSED.
Measure Framed to Meet Governor
Objections Ready for Senate Action.

Objections Ready for Senate Action.
The Senate bill creating Juvenile court
for Indianapolis was passed by the House
yesterday forenoon by substantial vote
in spite of the efforts of Sayre and others
to defeat it. Sayre opposed the bill be-,
cause, he said the courts already in exist
ence are doing this work, and doing it very
satisfactorily, and he did not believe that
there was necessity for creating new
court. Judge Stubbs, Of this city," he
said ''has. 1 am informed. conducted a
Juvenile court for over year, and the court
has worked satisfactorily, but just because
the Legislature is in session it is deemed
necessary to ask the State to create an
other court and provide salaries for few
more ambitious citizens"
Slack. the minority floor leader supported
the bill. but his argument lost much of its
effect because he persisted in calling the
proposed new court '.juvilene court"
advocating the bill.
Boyd, of Putnam, favored the bill as a
step in the right direction. which, he said.
ling juvenile offenders in every court and
every county and city jail in the State.
OFFENDING youths should under no circum-
stances be thrown with hardened criminals,
either in court or in imprisonment, and spe-
cial punishment, such as as practiced in
Judge Stubbs's court, should be legalized.
Sherman. of Decatur, opposed the bill, but
he had no better argument to offer than
the threadbare statement that three-fourths
OF the time of the session had been spent
in Marion county legislation, and 1T was
time to give the rest of the State turn.
The vote on the passage of the bill was
q to 10: This bill is the one that was
framed to meet the objections of the Gov
ernor to the original bill Ii Is now ready
Tor the Governors approval
A new bill was introduced by Wright, of
Marion. to meet the objections of the Gov
ernor to House Bill 167. and 1t was passed
under suspension of the rules. The bill
provides for the payment of the cost of
street improvements assessed against
school property in Indianapolis out of the
special school revenues not otherwise APP
propriated.
Just before adjournment the House
adopted the resolution granting an extra
allowance of $500 each to Chief Clerk Rea-
gan and his assistant, George ID. Heilman,
for work in completing the House calendar
and journal. The committee on claims rec
commended the resolution for passage, and
it was adopted after being read only by
title. Not one in ten of the members knew
the contents of the resolution. !.

has Ostensibly taken no notice of the en-

friends of Germany in the United States

Sternburg should be among the especial

monies in that city on April 81. and the

STUBBORN DUNLAP.
Refused to Allow Officers to
Enter His castle"
Held the Fort as Commandant Of San
Juan Naval Station.
Police at Last Withdrawn and He Will
Face Charge.

San Juan, P. R., April 21.-The police
have not been able to arrest Capt. Dun
lap, U. S. N, commandant of the
naval station here, against whom a
warrant has been issued, for bringing
in liquors without paying duty, because
the naval station Is a government res
ervation and Dunlap remains on it.
The police have been standing at the
gate of the station since yesterday af-
ternoon. Capt. Dunlap refuses to come
out or to permit the police to enter.
The first time the naval officer leaves
the station he will be arrested. 1t was
thought, this morning, that Capt. Dun
lap would leave the station voluntarily,
but 1t is now probable that he will not
do so as long as the police remain out
side.
Commander G. w. MentZ, U. s. NJ.
and Robert Giles, against whom war
rants were also issued on the same
charge. have been arraigned and plead
ed not guilty. A preliminary hearing
will he held before Justice BaZan, a
Eative, but because of the inability to
apprehend Capt. Dunlap the date for
the hearing has not been set.
p v. Mohun, paymaster U. S. NJ, for
whom there is also a warrant out on
the charge of illegally bringing in
liquor, is in the United States and will
be summoned later through the gov
eminent.

DRIVEN, BY WATER.
Bridgeport Officers Call on Fire De-
partment to Take a Man.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, April Platter an
all night scene the police, this morning,
with the aid of the fire department,
captured a supposed burglar who had
taken refuge in the cupola above the
roof of st. Patrick's Parochial resi-
dence, 60 feet above the street. The
man defied arrest when mis- presence on
tn roof was discovered lat 10 O'Clock
last night, and after Officer HauX, who
mounted ladder had received severe
blows on the head from a section of
tightening rod which the man used as
a club, It was decided to wait until day
light before making further attempts
at capture.
During the night while the police
maintained their guard around the
building the man gave vent to yells
which could be heard for several
blocks, keeping the whole neighborhood
aroused. At daylight when it became
possible to get a view of the man on
the .cupola there were 1000 people
around the building.
To assist in the capture the police
sent for hose wagon and a stream
from hydrant was directed at the
man. This, however, had little effect,
for the intruder merely laughed and
brandishcd his club like maniac,
when the water hit him. A fire egine
was then brought into service. Under
cover of this powerful stream, seven
policemen succeeded in reaching the
roof. Even then the capture was af-
fected only after hand-to-hand strug-
gle on the roof last half an hour.
Tho To rr;x l.;
The police think he came from Brook
lyn and that he is of Russian birth. He
is of brawney build, being about feet,
8 inches tall, and weighing IFS pounds.
Five pawn tickets were found in his
clothes.
The police will hold the man until it
can be determined whether he is crazy
or merely shamming insanity.
Later-The man after much question
ing said his name was Joseph Kratu-
nus, and that his age was IS years, but
he declined to tell where he came from
or give an exploration of his actions.
