SENTIMENT FAVORS STRIKE
Nothing Short of a Miracle Can Pre-
vent the Stopping of Work in the
Hard Coal Fields.

Scranton, Pa, May 3.-Today's S
Isions of the anthracite miners tri-dis-
convention revealed the fact that
the sentiment of practically all Of the
lis for a strike. Tonight it is believed
that nothing short of a miracle can
prevent a strike from being declared,
tomorrow afternoon Or Sarur-
At the conclusion of the after
noon session President Mitchell made
statement in the course of which he
used the word strike" for the first
time since the present negotiations be-
gan. Here is what he said to the
newspaper men:
"The strike feeling has been intensi-
fed by the unfortunate and unjustifa-
BILE action of the state co%nstabulary at
Mount CARMEL and their conduct in
other parts of the coal regions since
the suspension went into effect. Ot
course, it cannot be stated positively
what the vote will be. That will not
be known until Friday afternoon or
Saturday"
Governor Pennypacker's proclama-
ton has had the effect of arousing the
element among the delegates.
They say they were not surprised that
he should have tried to intimidate
them by such a manifest, out the pos
of the entire national guard of
the state being again ordered into the
hard coal fields does not alarm them.
They point t the fact that the divis-
ion was in the fields during the last
strike and had nothing to do but to
act As pOIicemen.

NO SCHEME TO SECURE FUNDS
Various Plans Discussed But
Rome Yet Decided On
DISCUSS REBUILDING OF CITY
Committee Appointed by the Mayor
Holds its Organization Meeting
Comprehensive Plan for Reconstruc-
tion of san Francisco Submitted by
the City Engineer.

San Francisco, May 3.-No plan was
decided upon today for the securing OF
funds to restore San Francisco. AL
though various schemes, some of them
apparently feasible, have been submit
ted to the general committee. none of
them has yet been given official in
dorsement, and fnanciers continue to
worry over the problem. 1t is proba-
BILE that several centerst of the financial
world will be consulted before any de-
finite scheme is formulate
The committee appointed by Mayor
SchmitZ, to discuss plans for the re-
construction Of San Francisco met to-
day. E. H. Hartman, was chosen vice
chairman, P. H. Mccarthy second vice
chairman and Rufus P. Jennings, sec
rotary.
Mr.. Hartman said:
Il believe that We ought TO get 10
work. We should talk less and do
more. | don't car if mistakes are
made. 1t is better to begin doing
something than to remain idle. If you
want me to work, 1 will pay a man to
do it if l can get him; but if 1 cannot
| will go into the streets and pitch
bricks myself"
Mr.. Hartman said that it would be
futile to attempt to raise money unless
it was definitely known to what use the
money would be put. He declared it
would be impossible to 90 to the mon
ey market with a hay ldea of what the
money was to be used for.
City Engineer Woodward today sub
mitted a comprehensive plan for the
rebuilding of the city. 1t includes the
broadening and extension of many
streets, the purpose pe1ng to insure
better protection against the spreao oi
fire as we'll as to beautify the city.
Mayor Schmitz has advised against
extravagant ideas for the Identification
of the new city.
He estimated that the replacement
of ruined municipal buildings. includ-
ing school and fire houses, will cost
800, O0O, 900.
General Greedy advised the finance
committee this afternoon that he had
only eleven days rations on hand, that
the army could not furnish an ounce
of food beyond that which has already
been purchased, Oh is in sight, and
that the feeding of the people is a
problem which demands immediate at
tentiOn.

from the Columbia, s. C., State con-
corning the Judge Purnell case, up
holding the position taken by Josephus
Daniels and quoting from a decision
Of Circuit Judge Pritchard OF North
Carolina, declaring that published crit
icisms or even libel of a judge is not
contempt of court. When the reading
was concluded Mr.. Tillman said nc
would pass on to Florida, although he
could review instances in his own
state of acts of tyranny and indecency.
but the judge committing them is dead
and has settled his accounts else
where. The senator said he also
knew some cases in Georgia, but that
he would take up the case Of Circuit
Judge Pardee in enjoinIng the Florida
railroad commission from institutins
suit to compel the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad to reduce it's fares from
four to three cents a mile. He charg-
ed that Pardee ought to be impeached
for his curse.
Mr.. Tillman next paid his respects
to the case of Judge Charles Swayne.
of Florida, whom the senate refused
last session to impeach and asked to
incorporate in his remarks a state
ment prepared by Representative La
mar of Florida.
Mr.. Tillman then closed with an
apology, explaining that the situation
was such as to require the administer
ing of "some physic." He would not
allow the judges to "roam up and
down the land, doing whatever the
railroads want and refusing to grant
relief to the people"
MI. Bacon criticised the course OF
Mr.. Tillman in the latter's indulgence
of structures against the judiciary.
Mr.. Tillman interrupted to ask Mr..
Bacon if he did not believe it proper
to call the attention of the country
to the dereliction of judges in view OF
the fact that there was nc way of
Furnishing them except by impeach-
ment, to which question Mr.. Bacon re-
sponded that the senate had ne right
to originate charges and that for it to
do SO was to usurp the power of the
house, and in a measure dlsquallfy
senators from conducting Impeachment
proceedings.
MI. Tillman declared that he had
not intended to censure the entire jul
dietary, but contended that SO long as
there were such men as Mccormick,
Pardee and Swayne on the bench the
criticism of individual members of the
judiciary was justified.
Announcing his conviction that Mr..
Tillman needed no assistance in pre-
senting his case to the senate, Mr..
Bailey look the floor in opposition to
Mr.. Bacon's contention that the judic-
larry should not be criticised on the
floor of the senate. He believed in
branding wrong wherever it made its
appearance and while as a whole he
had the utmost confidence in the judic-
iary Of the United States he could not
overlook the fact that there were some
unworthy members of it.
The army appropriation bill carry
ing an appropriation of about $74,OOO,-
900 was passed.

WILLoUGHBY AGAIN.

! d. c. Willoughby. the man who was
going to promote the railroad from
Grand Junction to the Paradox coun-
/ try and do many other wonderful
things, is still busy projecting land
| schemes in and around Montrose
county
Articles of incorporation have been
| filed with the county clerk of Mont
rose county by the Little and Will
louEhby Land company, capitalized
at $4,000. with shares at 81 each.
They propose to do a general bust
ness in lands. water rights. bonds. etc,
in Montrose, San Miguel counties and
in Denver.
The Montrose Enterprise remarks
that what the company with the lim1
tied capital of $4,000 can do to re-
claim arid lands is a mystery, as the
project so recently exploited by Mr..
Willoughby could not be budged with
that sum of money. We're it all hon
estly expended in actual work on
bitches and reservoirs. The country
around Coventry and Shenandoah has
suffered so much by reason of false
exploiting that it is hoped promoters
who can not make good will leave ii
alone in the future. Over there is
an immense body of fine land. I'm
in the hills is water going to waste.
Money will bring these two together
and make a garden spot of that local
ity, but the money must be expended
honestly in actual work, for reser-
voirs are not built with talk, nor are
farms made by running fine offices in
Denver. Mr.. Willoughby seems to
have made such fizzle of his last eff
fort over there, that the people may
well be excused for doubling his eff
