WILL OPPOSE IT.
Mine Workers to Kick Against Further Wage
 CutS-Defi Issue.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan 6-The exec utive board of the United Mine Work CTS of America has stated it's position plainly and clearly in regard to fur ther reductions on the part of the op- orators. All reductions will be op- posed by the organization and the miners directly affected will have the
 support of the organization in fight ing these reductions. The one con dftion Is that the reductions are in strict violation of the contracts signed by the miners and the operators. MT Mitchell said: ..Ihe executive board will hereafter, as it IS doing now. indorse the fights made by the miners against reductions in t.. wage scales when these reductions break the yearly contracts. The posi- ton of the board Is clear and operators who make the reduction under the stated conMtions may know what to expect from us"

EXCITING RACE
 FOR CONSTABLE

There promises to be an exciting race for the office of constable made vacant by the resignation of City Sheriff W. U. Rigney. It is reported that three candidates are already in the race-ex- Sheriff J. W. Mcdonald. ext -Constables Frank Rametti and James Lunny The candidates and their friends are besieging the mem bers of the board of aldermen for their support. The race at the present time is nip and tuck with the former city sheriff leading by. a head.
 A lively contest is also being waged for the office of sealer of weights and measures. The present incumbent, Frank Pagan, who has held the posi- tion. for several years, is candidate for re-appointment. He has many sup porters. But in Frederick Loomis he has an able opponent. This contest will be watched with much interest. 1t is probable that the present officer Eill be re-oppointed nothwithst hstanding Mr Loomis' influential backing.

A FLORAL HORSESHOE.
Presented to Commissioner Larkin By
 the Men of His Room Last Night.

Before the board of education got down to business last evening man with large box entered the High school building by the main entrance. It was taken for granted that he was attending the evening school class in Chemistry and that the box was a ma- chine to make warm weather grow when tlle thernometer is taking lunch at 12 below zero. So that when the man landed his box at the door of the clerk s office and asked if Comn1ission- CT Larkinl was there. everybody won deTed. But when Clerk Fitzgerald's ten-fOot legs made one giant step towards the box and brought 1t into the room and planked it down on the high desk with the customary dull thud, and disclosed magnificent bou- quet in the form of q large horseshoe, the commissioners and everybody else gathered around to see 1t and ir- hale It's delightful fragrance. It's perfume filled the room. A burst of applause went up when the clerk pre- scented it to Commissioner Larkin. The bouquet was from the foremen of the clock factory. of which Com

 Weather Suits Him.

South Norwalk, Jan 6.-Wah-Te- Nah, an Eskimo. who lives at the home of William Zeigler of Noroton, and who was brought back from the Arctic regions by one of the many expeditions sent out to discover the north pole, said yesterday in broken English that this weather was very fine and that it was the first time he had been really comfortable since leaving the frozen north. He spends most Of the time outdoors these days, riding an old gray horse for which he has a liking. Wah-Te-Nah says that it Is too hot in the house for hin. Yes terday he took an axe. cut lsle i'll the ice which covers pond not far from the Zeigler estate, and took a swim just to show that it was not very cold weather, though the ther- mometer stood at 10 degrees below while he did it. He came out, put on his clothes and expressed himself as being much refreshed by the plunge. At home he said that he was in the habit of bathing night and morning. The nights are six --onths long.

RUSSIA
 WITHDREW
Did Make C0ncess-
 ions To Japan.
Withdrew Them and As- sumed Hostile Atti- tude--Japan Working For Itself and All Other Nations.

Tokio, Jan 6 A p. m.)-A high Jap anese authority to-day made full ex- planation of the status of the far east ern question. The statement that Rus sia has made concessions to Japan is not exact. On the contrary, Russia in the month of October made certain con- sessions which were accepted by Japan, but subsequently, withdrew those con- sessions and assumed an attitude which left the Japanese government but little hope of reaching & satisfac- tory agreement. In struggling with all her force against the position of Russia in the far east, Japan wishes not only to work for herself but for all the nations. Japan does not fear the dangers of a conflict with Russia and does not embark upon it unprepared. 1t will be less a struggle between the races than plan for the promotion of international commerce.

DINEEN'S
 REQUEST.
States Attorney Pro-
 bing Into Horror
Wants to Know Who Died in a Certain Corner Locked Door May Be Responsible For 30 Deaths.

Chicago, Jan 6.-stMake every possi- ble effort to ascertain the identity of some persons who died in this cor ner''
 State Attorney Dineen has made this request of Coroner Traeger as they stood at the end of the blind gal lery passage, where, before locked exit more than thirty of the victims of the Iroquois disaster were found. In this request, repeated at every point where bodies were found, States at torney Dineen gave the key to one of the gravest questions that will confront the grand jury in fixing the criminal responsibility for death.
 It will not be sufficient for the pur- poses of a criminal prosecution for che coroner to show that the locked door was responsible for thirty deaths, door is fixed. Tn order to sustain a prosecution for manslaughter 1t will be necessary for tue coroner to deter mine the identity of one or more Of the individuals whose deaths the door caused.
 It will not be sufficient to show that the three steps leading out of the first balcony to the main stairway caused over a score of persons to fall and die. The identity of one or more of these persons must be proved in court De- fore charge of manslanghter can be sustained.
 Appreciating the technfcalities of the law. which require minute proofs, tne states attorney cautioned the coroner to make especial efforts to ascertain the identity of persons who died at each of the exits.

 LONG DRAWN OUT.

The jury in the district court was engaged again to-day hearing the case of -Dr Goodenough against William Fretter for $500 for services rendered woman named Van Wagner. who was injured some time ago in the de- fendant's laundry.

Dr Donahue was the first doctor found'' and he was on the scene in an incredibly short time.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Han and Woman Arrested Yesterday
 Were Held For Superior Court.

 Carl Nichols was arrested by Officer Noonan for intoxication and fined S5 and costs.
 Fred $. Hotchkiss. the truckmaIl, was charged with breach of the peace in abusing Archer Turney. The evi- dence showed that Turney had load of furniture detained by the truck man in lieu of bill for $25; that Fur ney got a letter from Attorney Meigs telling Hotchkiss the law in the mat ter, and that when he gave him the letter Hotchkiss jumped on it and orally alighted on Turney also. Sen tence was suspended, the court re marking it was not a case for the city court. criminal side.
 Frances Winsor and Irving Regal were charged with adultery. The cir cumstances of this matter were relat- ed in the Democrat yesterday. A com plaint for bigany may result The woman married Regal without going to the formality of having obtained a divorce from Winsor. She married Re gal only a few weeks ago. Both are young, seemingly not over 25. Prose cutor Durant said it was a case of a weak minded woman and man not overburdened with good reputation. He informed the court that they waived examination.
 Regal came here during the strike of the electric light trimmers. He rose to the position of inspector of lights. Both were bound over to the superior court under a bond of $500. ! Yesterday Mrs Regal communicated with her father. Charles B. Landon of Guilford, and this morning he came to town and gave bail for both. The woman's other husband. Thomas Win sor. is a section foreman for the Con- solidated Railroad Go and lives in Waterbury.
