To Spend Forty Days Among the Anthracit
Miners Preparing for Next May.

Miners Preparing for Next May.
President John Mitchell of the United
Mine Workers, who was to have left New
Yord for Scranton on Tuesday to attend
mass meetings of the anthracite miners
was still in this city yesterday. Although
Mitchell himself is noncommittal, 1t is
known that he will try before he leaves
town either to see the presidents Of the
coal carrying roads or to make arrange
ments for meeting them later.
The two years agreement between the
coal operators and the miners which was
brought about by the anthracite strike
commission expires on April !, 1908, and it
Is known by the presidents Of the COM
panies that Mitchell will start an organic
ing campaign among the miners when he
leaves New York and before he returns to
Indianapolis.
At the offices Of tho companies It was
stated yesterday that Mitchell had not

The anthracite strike Commission he
said will 60 out Of existence officially
when the agreement expires. The con-

Mr.. Truesdale said that large guam
titles Of anthracite were being mined.
This was partly because Of the low price Of
coal at present. the famine scare Of the
strike two years ago having made house
holders careful to lay in supplies now.
"As to wages he said they are based
on the price Of coal. What they may be
after April we do not know yet Matters
are quiet now and il there Is any trouble
next year it will be up to the miners"
1t was learned that when Mitchell goes
to Scranton he will 90 at once into con-
ference with Presidents Nichols, Fahy

sidered and organization mass meetings
will be held at which Mitchell will be the

Of them escaped. The fourth man was
nabbed.
It is Kuehn's business to visit the banks
with which the Yorkville Bank does bust

Often he carries large sums Of money,
but on these occasions he Is generally
trailed or accompanied by another bank
employee to sec that he Is not attacked

He had guard yesterday when he started
out with $4,000 in his sat chel. After he got
rid of this money his guard left him. Kuehn
had some business to do at the Greenwich

corner a man jostled him and gave him a
shove.

demanded the man. "I'm an officer"
Kuehn started to explain who he was,
but before he got we'll started three other
men appeared. Two grabbed his arms and
held him while the other pair made him let
20 his hold on the sat chel. Kuehn struggled
to keep the bag, which made the thieves
all the more anxious to get it.
Kuehn yelled for help, too, just as an
Eighth avenue car came along. On the car
was Detective Sergeant Sullivan. He
jumped off and got to Kuehn in time to nab
one OF his assailants. This was the fellow
who first jostled Kuehn and said he was an
officer. He was taken to Police Head

old offender. They said that he had recently
served two years and q half In State prison

FOUND GIRLS BODY IN LAKE.
Two Victims In Central PARK Tragedy
Mother Overcome With Grief.


The body Of Miss Josephine Tauber, the
daughter OF an undertaken. living at AL
East Seventy-fourth street, was found in
the Central Park lake yesterday near where
the body of Alfred Bergman, a clerk. Of 525
East Eghty-third street. was found the
night before. They had been out rowing
on the lake, and as Bergman didn't know
anything about handling a rowboat it
tipped when he tried to recover a lost oar.
1t is supposed that he was drowned trying
to rescue the girl.
He hired the boat alone at o'clock and
Miss Tauber got aboard from the shore
after he had left the boat landing. This
was done, the police think to avoid the
extra charge made when two persons use
rowboat on the park lake. Soon after
Bergman left the boat landing it was
seen that he was not used to handling
a rowboat. short time later the cry OF a
Brown. who rents the park boats. saw
a man houndsring in the water. He went
to his assistance, but didn't reach him in
time. Bergman went to the bottom
and his body was recovered with graphing
hooks.
1t wasn't until Berginanns family were
notified of his death that any one knew
with him. When Tauber learned that
Bergman was drowned he knew some
harm must have come to his daughter, az
she left her home early in the evening at
Bergmann's invitation to take row on
the park lake When she didn't appear
at her home during the early morning hours
he told the police that she had undoubtedly
lost her life too
The Central Park police grappled for
her body several hours yesterday morning
before they recovered it. It was within
forty feet Of where Bergman had drowned.
The parents Of the young woman watched
the police at work. Her mother walked
up and down the Mall calling her daughters
name and praying that she might have
been saved and was safe.
When the body was recovered Mrs Tau
Der became hysterical and her cries brought
many persons to the shore OF the lake.
