Mitchell made the statement today
that more than 100000 soft coal
miners had already been granted the
scale of 1903. and predicted that by
the end of the week so per cent of
the bituminous workers will have
been given the o.55 per cent advance

where the men were organized would
be working on a union basis.

PHILADELPHIA, April 2.-The
best of feeling between the operat-
ors and miners is reported from all
sections, and the hope is expressed
by both sides that satisfactory agree
ment may be reached at tomorrow's
conference IN New York.
Significance is attached by the
miners to the fact that no apparent
attempt on the part of the operators
has been made to import non-union
labor, which they regard as a fav-
orable sign.
The miners leaders are careful to
assert that no strike his been de-
clared, the suspension, they say, be-
ing merely a business necessity, as
the miners have no arrangement with
the operators until the scale is ad-
justed by the committee. The min
ers' officials tonight estimated that
$4,000 obeyed the order to suspend
operations, leaving 1900 men per-
mitted to continue work to prevent
the mines from flooding.

One exception was made in the bill
for repairing the town clock, which
by contract is to be kept in repair
for ten years by A. +. Larson
A warrant was drawn for $1O53.SO

upon motion of Councilman Marsh.
The report of Marshal Cayou was
as follows:

Days work by prisoners $50. 81
City Scavenger Washburn reported
that the city was in as clean a condi-
tion now as it ever was. He also re-
ported the collection Of $50.
The sections report was unusually
interesting. He reported only eight
burials, five of which were children,
three adults. OF the adults, one was
Virgil Crane. the Valencia victim.
This leaves only two adults that died
in the city during the month of
March. Councilman Marsh comment

Wrod has been received from The
Dalles, Ore, that Sheriff Wood has
taken into custody a man who, it
is strongly suspected, was the per-
petrator of the holdup of the North
Coast Limited at Rosa, a station
near North Yakima, recently.
So strong are Sheriff Woods sus-
picions that he has communicated
with George Howe Of this city, who
was the engineer on the train that
was held up.
The name of the suspect cannot
be learned. He was arrested a few
days ago at The Dalles, and when
he was searched by the sheriff he
was found to be a regular walking
arsenal. He carried two Colts re-
volvers of large caliber, a cartridge
belt full Of cartridges, and in an
inner pocket Of his vest was found
a small can of nitro glycerine. Sher-

the court that young Lohrey had

In the Casey robbery, but the I'M

aggravated by the fact that he had

Riley stated he thought he had
been hit by a pillow. He started
to run to his front door, about 90
feet away. He found he could not
open the door and started for the
back door. When at the side of the
house one Of the men struck him
over the heart with a club. He
found he was too weak to get away
and reached up to push in the win
dow glass so the people in the house
would come to his assistance. At
this time the milk boy came out of
the house and Riley told him to run
for his life. Just at that time he
startedto throw his weight against
the glass when the last and final
blow vas struck. This is the blow
that broke his nose.
Riley lay on his face in this I'M
conscious state for about 30 min
utes. His mother happened to go
to the back porch to get the milk
and she heard his groans. She
called the boys in the house and
