Through the transom the library door
light was shining, and Hanbury approached
the room he heard low masculine voices within.
Looking back toward Evelyn, he saw her stand
ing in the parlor doorway wringing her hands in
utter despair, and heard a stihcd sob escape her
lips. Rapping the door, he stood waiting. The
voices ceased suddenly. There was a startled
pause then Colonel Hasbroob cautiously opened the
door and stood in the full light of the lamp on the
table
'Oh, it's YOU, Mr.. Hanbury!" the host exclaimed

SERIOUS CHARGE
AGAINST MITCHELL
He Is Accused of Sell
ing Out the Colorado
Miners
MAKES AN EMPHATIC DENTAL

indianapolis. Jan. 2O.-The manage
nent of the Colorado strike was bit
nerly argued on the floor of the ma
iional convention Of the United Mine
Workers Delegate Robert Randall,
Of Wyoming, took the floor, and spoke
for an hour. He charged that Presi-
dent Mitchell had sold out the miners
organization in the recent Colorado
strike, and attacked the financial in
tegrity of the president His speech
was a personal attack on President
Mitchell. Randall took the platform
and faced Mr.. Mitchell while making
the charges. The delegates tried to
silence Randall several times, but
President Mitchell raped for order
and insisted that Randall be heard.
When Randall was through, Presi-
dent Mitchell took the floor. He re-
viewed the conduct of the Colorado
strike, and said it Was true he had ad-
yised a settlement, and would do so
again under the same conditions. He
said early in the strike President How
ellis, of the district, asked for $1,000
with which to carry on the strike,
which had been refused. President
Mitchell said he did not want to trust
Howells with that amount President
Mitchell made the charge that ex-Na-
tional Board Member j. L. Gears had
been in coliusiOn with others in con-
nectiOn with the stock market, that
the miners had refused to put up tents
sent them unless paid for it, that the
miners had demanded per diem wage
while on the strike, and that finally,
after over 100000 had been poured
into the field and the strike had been
lost, he had advised a settlement.
National Board Member Haggerty
of Illinois, said that he had voted in
favor of discontinuing the strike. He
declared that President Mitchell had
said to President Howells, of the Colo
rado miners: IF you can show me
one ray of hope for victory in this
strike, Notwithstanding that we have
now spent almost 100000, we will
spend a like amount or more to attain
that end" President Howells, Mr.
Haggerty said, replied that he could
not hold out such hope.
President Douthwaite, of District
No. Is, Colorado. explaining the con-
ditions which led up to the strike
said that District No. 10 had solicited
aid from the United Mine Workers,
believing that the strike could be
won, and declared he still believed
that if he had had $4,000 at his dis
pOsal on September Z, 1904 he would
have had different story to tell the
members of this convention. In his
subsequent remarks he defended Pres
ident Mitchells policy, saying that
the miners Of Northern Colorado would
have been willing to call a sympa-
thetic strike if there had been any
hope for a favorable outcome, which
he declared there was not
At this juncture President Mitchell
rose and asked President Douthwaite:
do you, as president of District No.

by Delegate Randall on the floor OF
