Indianapolis, March S1.-The ma
tionn executive board of the United
Mine Workers of America held a meet
Ing during the day TO take up in detail
the management OF the strike, which
Went into effect in the anthracite and
bltuminous coal districts of the coun-
try at the close of work Saturday.
Men numbering 500, 500 left the
mines Saturday evening not to return
till their employers have signed the
wage scale demanded by the miners in
national convention. In the Central
competitive district, composed of Hi
nois, Indiana, Ohio and Western Penn
sylvania, it is anticipated by members
of the national executive board that
the scale would be signed in all proba-
bility by some of the operators of
Western Pennsylvania within twenty
four hours. No formal strike order
was issued, but at the close of work
the men left the mines with their tools
and will not return until the scale has
been signed by the operators and they
have been so notified by the district
officials. Members of the board said
that every step possible would be
taken to prevent violence and a for
NAL declaration to the miners forbid
ding rioting or destruction of property
and urging them to properly conduct
themselves probably will be issued.

CHAPTER VII.

TvHE body of Hiram Holiday was
placed beside that of his wife
In his granite mausoleum at
Woodlawn on the Sunday fol-
lowing his death. Two days later his
will, which had been drawn up by Mr..
Graham and deposited in the Office
safe, was read and duly admitted to
probate. As was expected, he had left
all his property, without condition or
reserve, to his daughter Frances.
There were few requests to old serv-
ants, Rogers receiving handsome leg
acy; about half million was given to
various charities In which he had been
interested during his life, and the re-
mainder was placed at the absolute
disposal Of his daughter.
We found that his fortune had been
0verestirnated, as is usually the case
with men whose wealth depends upon
the fluctuations Of the Street, but there
still remained something over four mil
lions for the girl-a pretty dowry. She
told Us at once that she wished to leave
her affairs in our hands and In finan-
cial matters would be guided entirely
by our advice. Most OF this business
was conducted by our junior, and.
while, Of course, he told me nothing, 1t
was evident that Miss Holidays kind
" feelings toward him had suffered no
'diminution. The whole Office was more
or less conversant with the affair and
wished him success and happiness.

utmost endeavor Of newspapers and
police had shed no new light on the
tragedy. and for the great public t.
had passed into the background Of

ana more than once I carefully re-
viewed its features to convince my
self anew that our theory was the
right one. Only one point occurred to
me which would tend to prove it un-
true - if there was an illegitimate
daughter, the blow she had dealt her
father had also deprived her of what
ever income he had allowed her or Of
any hope OF income from him. 50 she
had acted in her own despite Stfll.

CONSUL URGES A QUIET
RECEPTION OF WARSHIP
Evidently Feels That the japanese Laborers
Might Make an Unseemly Demonstration 7s
When Naval Training Vessel Comes.

The following official notice to the
Japanese residents of Hawaii has been
given out to the local Japanese press
and to the Advertiser by Mr.. Mkt Sa-
ito. the japanese Consul General. 1t
is headed "A Caution to the japanese
Residents of Hawaii"
The Japanese training ship Anega-
wa, with over 100 lieutenants and sub
lieutenants, sailed from Japan on the
10th inst. for the purpose of nautical
training in seamanship and navigation
on the Pacific, and will arrive here, its
destination, load coal and provisions
and cruise around the islands, After
that it will return to Japan, sailing on
October Is.
'eThe coming Of the vessel has no
other object in view than the training
OF the lieutenants on board in nautlcal
affairs, a verg important matter TO
them
There is a rumor that on the receipt
of the above intelligence there was
plan formed to give the ship and Of
ficers a grand reception. 1t is to De
acknowledged that the japanese resi-
dents should feel great joy at TINS
event. but if. however. the mode OF
welcome be not quiet and seemly ana
if there be inopportune behavior and
excitement it is to be feared that the
captain of the vessel would hesitate TO
accept the offer in spite Of the good
will of the residents. And l fear also
that I could not recommend such
demonstrative welcome =
THE reason is that the vessel has
