10000 MINERS LOCKED OUT
Refused 70 Work Nine Hours Satur.

day and Companies Closed Down.
Pottsyille, Pa, April q. - Thirty
thousand mine workers were locked
out in the Schuylkill region by the
Philadelphia and Reading Coal and
Iron, the Lehigh Valley and the Sus-
quehanna Companies. This action OF
the companies has spread excitement
among the men. who freely express
their belief that a serious conflict
will break out unless the men are
taken back speedily.
The action Of the companies is the
result Of the miners refusal to work
more than eight hours Saturday. The
report Of the strike commission de-
clares they shall put in the regular
nine hours on Saturdays as on other
days. but last week the mine en-
ployes served notice that they would
not serve the extra hour. The com
panies answered by declaring that
the men should put in full time or
consider thenselves discharged.
Last Saturday the men threw down
their tools and left the collieries when
the eight hours had expired. They
went to their homes confident that
the companies would not carry out
the threat All this was changed,
however. when the men reported for
work and found themselves locked out.
The men found notices posted stat.
ing that work had been suspended
indefinitely at the Lehigh Valley,
Philadelphia and Reading and the
Susquehanna coal collieries.
Only II of the Philadelphia and
Reading Company's 43 collieries are
working. The officials will make no
statement. but from other sources it
is learned they intend to froce the
issue

STRENUOUS efforts to minimize the
reports of huge land frauds are made by
Secretary Hitchcock in his annual re-
port on the Department of the Interior,
lust made public Emphatic denial IS
made that the frauds involve from $40,
OOO. 900 to 500, 900, 600 in land values,
and that five United States Senators and
many Representatives are implicated
therein. Evidently fearing that the
department may have been thought to
be implicated in disseminating the re-
ports of the frauds, Secretary Hitchcock
adds: at can be positively stated that
they did not originate in this depart
ment." The details and results of the
investigations into the frauds, tits further
stated, are known to bat few, and sat
the proper time full statement will be
made covering the results of the entire
investigation and the whole matter will
be given to the public" There is a
strong suspicion entertained by many
that by "proper time" after the presi-
dental election is meant, and, that no
investigation into the affairs of any OF
the departments will be made until after
the election. In his report Secretary
Hitchcock makes no mention of the re-
call of Col. Mosby from Nebraska, where
the President had sent him to prevent
land grabbing by the cattle kings. The
Colonel, it will be remembered, was pre-
forming his duties so honestly and ef-
fectively that he was interfering with
these kings, so Senator Dietrich forced
the President to recall him and send him
to ALBANIA

UNDER a ruling of the Missouri SUI
preme Court yesterday the work accom-
plished by Circuit Attorney Folk in
purging st. Louis of its notorious gang
of boodlers, franchise grabbers and graf
tiers OF all sorts and kinds is dealt q
severe blow. Through a mere techni-
cality lOophole is left which may yet
save the convicted from the heavy fines
and prison terms already imposed.
Several hundred cases in Jefferson City
are also affected by the ruling. The
case in which the Supreme Court has
rendered its decision is that of the State
VS.. William Bonner, aud the Court in
reversing it holds that an information
issued by the Circuit Attorneys Office
must be ver!ied by the affidavit of the
prosecuting attorney or OF some other
person. In the list of cases which, I'M

iected if the plea of illegal arrest were
raised, are the majority of the suburban
