II want Mr.. Winder to tell what

clared that the coal operators cannot
afford to pay cents ton more tc
the miners because business is sc
poor He has offered to open the books
of the Sunday Creek Coal company te
prove his statement.
II want to say that if; the miners &C
cept this offer they will demand as
part of the investigation that the
books be opened also to show the
profits are changed, so to speak, from
one pocket to another by the railroad
corporations, and charged to freight

whose companies Mitchell had men,
toned followed in a similar vein, with
the exception of B. F..,Bush of the
Western Coal & Mining company of
st. Louis, who declared the Missouri
Pacific, to his knowledge, owned no
part of the stock in the coal concern,
and Thomas O'Gara, president of the
O'Gara Coal company, who denied any
connection with the Big Four railroad
G. r. Hammond explained that the
Rock Island flnanciers had purchased
100000 worth Of bonds in the Deer
ing Coal company and stood ready to
double its purchase.
'Until Jan. of this year, however,
no railroad was connectedSin any way
with the Deering company" said Mr..
Hammond "None of the company's
mines is on the Rock Island road, and
proof that no conspiracy exists, such
as limited, lies in the fact that we are
selling screen coal to the Rock Island
road now at $1.05 a ton. AS far as
freight rates are concerned the Deer
ing Coal company never received a
single cent in this way"
Speaking for the chief of the Madi-
son Coal company, A. J.. Moorshead
said that while stakeholder in the
Illinois Central owned considerable
stock in the coal concern, the coal
business was run entirely separate and
the books of the one kept entirely dis
tinct from the books of the other. His
company, he said, courted the most
rigid investigation on, that score.
COMMISSIONS Satisfy Mitchell.
AT, the conclusion of the replies Mr..
Mitchell made no other comment than
to remark:
81 am satisfied with the confess
sions."

Patrolman Lahey interrupted an in

men and party Of young bloods with
several partially drained whisky bottles In
their pockets early Friday evening in front
Of the Union depot. The yCung men
boarded a Farnam street car and insisted
on standing on the front platform witt

This arrangement would ordinarily have
been wholly satisfactory, but I'm this in

quarters seemed beyond the young men

alteration with MotoTman John Ander

hours and was IN no mood TO stand for
the taunts sent at him, and when It came
to a matter Of blows, ne took the con-
troller handle, while the conductor rushed
forward with the switch rod.
Everybody got into the street, where
there was more room, and when another
car came along, the men in blue were re-
inforced by its crew. II might have gone
very hard for the bolsterous passengers
