Break in Miners Strike.

steubenville, o., May 29.-The first
break in the miners strike in the Pan
handle district occurred when several
OF the miners Of the Hinchman Coal
company at Benwood, members OF the
United Mine Workers, entered the
mine and resumed work. The failure
OF the United Mine Workers to con.
tinue the payment OF strike benefits is
the cause of the detection, which it
is thought, will spread and especially
among the foreign workers. 1t is re-
ported that the eastern Ohio stand
pat" operators will place the mines of
Clairsvills at work with non-union
workers

important Decisions Handed Down
by the Supreme Court.
Washington, May 29.-Meat packers
who are opposing the proposed meat
inspection law, which was put into the
agricultural appropriation bill in the
form of an amendment by Senator
Beveridge, have thus far failed to make
any impression upon the president,
who insists that the measure shall be
put into effect The packers are beg
ging for time to consider it, and are
haggling over the question whether
they or the Severnment shall pay the
expense of the proposed inspection
which is estimated at about $1,500,O0O
o year. Meanwhile Charles P. Nc.
Neill, commissioner OF labor, and
James b. Reynolds of New York, who
made the investigation which revealed
startling conditions in the big meat
packing plants. are hurriedly putting
the report of their investigation into
definite form for the president.
The senate sent the rate bill to
conference, heard a defense by Sen
ator Kittredge OF sea level canal and
three Democratic speeches on the reso-
luton relating to purchase OF canal
supplies in foreign markets and de-
voted the remainder of the time TO the
postotfice appropriation bill. No OBJ
lection was made to the appointment
of the ranking members of the inter
state commerce committee as con.
ferees on the rate bill and they were
not instructed In any manner. They
are Senators Elkins, Cullom and Till

Chairman Elkins called meeting of
the rate confereos and they assembled
in Senator Elkins' room. The meet

Bucyrus, o., May 30.-Prosecuting
Attorney Carl Hinkle, when asked as
to the result OF the investigation into
the Ohio Central railway custer case
and the report made by the jury, said
any future development will have to
be instituted by the court, and he is
ready to prosecute any case brought.
Judge Tobias, who authorized the in
yestigation, may take some action,
and it is possible that the circuit
court may act on the ground that the
attorneys abused their relationship
with the court in not submitting the
entry in the case before spreading it
upon the journal

49, 49, CUSTER CASES.
Grand Jury at 5ucyrus Reports as to
Their Settlement.

Bucyrus, o., May 29.-The report OF
the grand jury, which was ordered
by Judge j. c.. Tobias, to look into
the settlement of the custer cases
against the Ohio Central railway, has
been made. The case was brought in
1901 on Instructions secured by Pros
ecuting Attorney Charles Gallinger
from the county commissioners, on the
ground that the railway company. was
violating the antitrust law by com.
bining with parallel line. At the
same time suits were brought in Hook
ing county against the Hooking Valley
Railway company and in Perry county
against the Sunday Greek Coal com
pany.
The report of the jury says that
while the cause of action was good
there was another motive back of the
suits ald that none of the objects Of
the suit could be attained; that Frank
5. Monnett, former attorney general
of Ohio, was the instigator of the
suits and the chief counsel; that he
suggested settlement of the cases and
that the journal entry made at the
time of the settlement was never sub
mitted to or approved by the court;
that the attorneys in the case received
$4,000 for their services, which the
jury finds no authority for under the
statutes or decisions of court. 1t ayers
that all the cases were settled at the
same time and that F. S. Monnett re-
ceived as his portion of the fees ST..
S24.33. Finiay and Gallinger and Pugh
and Pugh also were compensated, each
firm receiving u like amount. The
jury also found that two personal dam
age cases against the Ohio Central
and brought by these attorneys, were
settled at the same time.
The testimony was finished Monday
afternoon by Judge Norris, who was
the presiding judge at the time of the
settlement Frank S. Monnett was
wanted for further examination, but
could not be located.

to computations made by the agents of

their doors through inability to pay

BY DUNCAN NJ. SMITH
CHASE FOR RICHES.

We sail across the ocean.
We chase about the land,
We cross the bOundless prairie,
We brave the desert sand,
We dig into the mountains,
We dare the northern cold,
And all to capture dollars
, To get bunch of gold
We get up I'm the morning
And spend the day in toll,
And then we keep on shaving
Beneath the midnight oil,
For in the rush for riches
We never want to quit
Until We have the treasure
Securely in our mitt.
4 We seek some savage country
= Or fever ladened coast,
We walk the dread Death valley,
Where weather comes on toast;
5 We climb a live volcano
And peer down in the pit,
And If we see a nugget
! We dive In after It.
We overlook the sunsets,
We miss the baby's smile,
We miss the April blossoms
: And other things worth while,
And then TO cap the climax,
To top the tale OF woe,
In spite of all our striving
We do not get the dough.
