BOND OF DUDLEY SIGNED
DEPOSED SULLIVAN SHERIFF PRE-
PARES TO QUALIFY AGAIN.
The Court Recognizes Him Sheriff
and the Coroner Does Not Object
Both Are Serving Papers.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
SULLIVAN, Ind, Jan. 5.-The bondsmen
of John S. Dudley, the sheriff of Sullivan
county who was deposed by Governor Dur
bin through the action of the Indiana anti
lynch law, have signed his bond for the
new term and 1t will be filed by Saturday
night, the sheriff being allowed ten days
in which to file his bond. after his term
of office begins, which was. in this case
on Jan. |. The bondsmen are: Charles
L. Davis, president of the National Bank
of Sullivan; William G. Jamison, cashier of
the same institution: Noah Crawford, Dud-
ley's father-in-law; Patrick McEneny, a
retired merchant; c. j. Sherman, proprie-
tor of Sullivan's largest department store
and James r. Riggs candidate for auditor
of state on the Democratic ticket at the
last election and a prominent farmer of
the county. The bond itself is for $1,000
and any one of the bondsmen is good for
five times the sum named.
When court opened for the January term
this morning Judge Orion b. Harris recog-
nized Dudley as sheriff by telling him to
open the court and Coroner Maxwell, sher-
iff by operation of the law of 1901, made
no objection whatever. He was present but
oppose Dudley at this time. Both are sery-
ing subpoenas in cases on the court docket
and County Clerk Taylor, while he has
given all the papers except in one case to
Dudley, duplicates the service whenever
such action is called for. Many lawyers,
however, are asking the defendants them
selves to enter appearances i'm order that
the proceedings may not be thrown out at
some future time.
The County Commissioners refused to
take action in the matter at their session
to-day but stated to the Journal repre-
sentative that they recognize Maxwell AS
the legal sheriff of the county.
In addition to his pretensions that the
lynching law is unconstitutional Dudley
was reelected before the lynching took
place, and claims that he is entitled to the
office whether the lynching law is valid or
not. Coroner Maxwell does not want the
office of sheriff and 1T is improbable that
the commissioners would appoint a man
who would not take the office as long as
Dudley claims it, The State has shown a
disposition to allow the Sullivan county
officials TO work out their own salvation.
and although Prosecutor Riddle has said
that he would look into the case and prom
ised to be on hand when court opened to-
day, he has done nothing as yet, and was
not present this morning.
The sentiment over the county i'm this
matter is divided. but its preponderance is
i'm favor of Dudley.

AGREEMENY SUSPENDED.



NEW YORK. Jan. 5--Reports from Phil
adelphia announcing that the anthracite
roads had suspended the 65 per cent tide
water agreement with the independent op-
orators were confirmed to-day at the Offices
OF several of the roads interested. In the
case of the Lehigh Valley the suspension
carries until March 81. The strongest pres
sure was brought to bear against that road
because Of the large number of independent
operators along its lines The Lackawanna
road Is party to the suspension agree
ment. but not for any fixed period, and
may cancel its agreement with the inde-
pendents ss will
In discussing conditions which led to the
suspension Lackawanna official said:
This whole thing Is made possible by last
years strike. Recently some free tonnage
came into this market. 1t was snapped up
by middlemen jobbers who sent their
representatives 10 the independent miners
and offered better than our 65 per cent.
price. We refused. as did most of the other
coal roads. TO meet the higher price Of
fered by local jobbers. We believed that
I'm view OF the urgent demand we could not
consistently ask price higher than s. per
ton at tidewater. While this suspension
remains In force the coal roads will simply
act as common carriers for the independ-
ent operators. charging much per ton for
bringing their products to market
IL is the opinion of coal roads represent
atives that the action of the independents
must inevitably increase the cost OF coal
TO the public. Altogether there are over
one hundred independent or individual op-
orators In the Lehigh. Schuylkill and wy
oming coal districts. Their output for 1902
was. OF course. greatly reduced By reason
OF the protracted strike. In 1901 the aggre-
gate tonnage OF the independents i'm the
districts named was almost 100000.

many came to an understanding four days
ago to enforce the blockade of the Ven-
ezuelan coast precisely as though the ne
gotiations for arbitration were not going
on. 1t was doubtless in consequence Of
this understanding that the vessels at
Puerto Cabello were taken. The official
view here is that the blockading command
ers acted quite in accordance with their
instructions The allied governments de-
termination appears TO be that, pending
the signature of the arbitration protocol
the blockade within the limits agreed
upon, shall be sharply applied. Hence. un-
less the preliminaries for arbitration are
arranged Immediately action similar to
that adopted at Puerto Cabello will nat
urally be taken at other ports. BY max
ing the blockade felt, 1t is claimed, Presi-
dent Castro's decisions will probably be
hastened. There is also an impression that
President Castro ought to have taste of
the allies power while making up his mind,
as completely eventless blockade would
make the allies rather ridiculous in the
eyes of the Venezuelan people and of the
rest of the world. 1t is pointed out by
naval officials that state of war exists,
and that, therefore, acts of war ought to
follow as rapidly the circumstances
warrant until the peace preliminaries are
signed.
Commodore Scheder telegraphs that the
Germans on Saturday seized large num-
ber of Venezuelan sailing vessels at Puerto
Cabello. The prizes were towed to Los
Roques, where they remain under guard.
Otherwise there have been no new develop
ments at Puerto Cabello. Commodore
Scheder made no mention of the seizure of
the custom house at Puerto Cabello.

Caracas arrived here to-day, and owners of
the cargo, which was not discharged at
Laguayra, declared that they would seek
to obtain indemnity through the United
States government. 1t Is understood the
contention of the United States steamship
line and the shippers of cargo is that the
Caracas had cleared from this port before
the blockade had been declared and should
have been allowed to land her cargo at
Laguayra.
Mr. Bliss, one of the heads of the Red ID
line, said he wrote Secretary Hay week
ago on receipt of a cablegram from the
firms agent at Laguayra concerning the
treatment of the Caracas at that port. He
requested an inquiry into the matter. Mr..
Bliss expressed confidence that the secre-
tary would see that the company received
whatever redress might be due it under
international law.

Increase of 20 Per Cent. i'm Wages
Asked for 100000 Men-What the
Men Really Expect.

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-Grievance committees
representing every railroad centering in
Chicago met here to-day and negotiations
were started which are expected to result
in an increase in wages for thousands of
conductors and brakemen of Western
roads. 1t Is understood that similar COM
mittees met In every railroad center west
of Chicago. The men are all members of
the Order of Railway Conductors or the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and
have made demands in behalf of their
unions of 20 per cent. increase i'm wages,
an eight-hour day and overtime pay VIM
G.. Lee, vice grand master of the trainmen,

hardly expected to have their full demands
acceded TO. He said each road had its own
committee, which would meet the manage
ment of that particular road of which the
committee came, and he expressed the be-
lief that increases would be granted at not
less than IL per cent more than the pres
ent wages. In explaining the 20 per cent
increase demanded Mr.. Lee said that il did
not mean that each man in the service
should receive that increase, but that 1t

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. 5.-The meeting of
two hundred delegates representing the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the

wages. was of a secret nature and Just
what has been accomplished is conjec-
tured. Railroad officials say that no over
lures were made 10 them to-day. President
Ramsay. of the Wabash. on leaving for
New York tonight said that up TO the
time OF his departure he had heard MOTH
ing from the trainmen. The trainmen will
continue their session tomorrow. j. Il.

THE increased demand he said, affects
over 10000 train service employees on the
railroads south and west OF Chicago. We
base our demand on the increased pros
perity of the country, which has so bene-
fitted the railways. This rush of traffic
means increased labor for US, the cost of
living has gone up and We think ii no more
than just that our wages should also go
up The question of hours will not be

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-Senators evil
dently felt the effects OF the coal shortage
during the holiday season, for several to-
day to-day introduced bills aimed at the
so-called anthracite trust. No action was
taken on any OF the propositions, but some
thing may be done. many members OF
Congress have complained of the scarcity
of fuel 1t has even been difficult to secure
enough to heat the capitol.
Almost Immediately after the Senate con-
vened at noon the discussion of the coal
situation began. Mr.. Lodge prefaced his
introduction of bill suspending for ninety
days the duty of sixty-seven cents ton
on anthracite coal with the statement that
owing to the scarcity of coal and that un-
less relief was afforded at once a number
of factories would have to shut down. He
was aware. he said. that such bill should
originate in the House of Representatives.
but IL was his desire to call the attention
of the finance committee to the state of
affairs.
Mr.. CuIberson followed with a resolution
providing for the removal of the duty on
anthracite coal and asked its immediate
objected. saying it was his understanding
there was no duty on anthracite coal. Mr..
Vest took exception to this statement and
said that the board of general appraisers
and President Roosevelt had decided that
such duty is imposed Mr.. Vest also in
tr6duceS resolution on the subject.
Mr.. Mason introduced a bill to provide
for the temporary operation of coal mines.
1t provides that hereafter, whenever any
coal mine is unoperated and continues to be
unoperated to the prejudice of the rights
of the people. IT shall be the duty of the at
torney general to apply to any judge of a
United States Court for receiver for the
mine. who, IL appointed. shall serve until
such time as the court shall find by decree
that neither the general welfare nor public
necessity require the further operation OF
said mine by such receiver.
Another resolution bearing on the subject
of coal. introduced by Mr.. Jones. of Arkan-
sas, recited the charge Of w. r. Hearst
that there was an illegal combination
among certain railroads to control the ship
ment of anthracite coal. and called on the
attorney general for the evidence which, 4,
was alleged. had been secured by him. II
caused lively debate In which several
Republican senator's vigorously resented
what they thought was a reflection upon
the attorney general. The discussion con-
tinued until o'clock when the resolution
went over. being displaced by the omnibus
statehood bill. Mr.. Nelson, of Minnesota
addressed the Senate in opposition to the
bill and favored single statehood for Okla
homa and Indian Territory. At o'clock
the Senate adjourned.
