RACE FEELING is HIGH
Indignation Among Members Of United
States Supreme Court Is Only
Matched by That Felt by the Ne
srpes of Chattanooga Over the
Lynching OF Johnson.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 21.-At
the Roos-Mehan iron foundry this
morning, where white overseers are
employed with negro moulders and
helpers, a white man named Rogers
shot and wounded a negro. The cause
of the shooting is thought to have been
an outcropping of yesterdays troubles
between the races resulting from the
lynching of the negro Johnson. The
business section of the city Is quiet.
Supreme Court to Act.
Washington, D. c., March 21.-The
Supreme court of the United States
proposes to bring to justice the men
who violated its mandate and lynched
Ed. johnson, negro condemned to
death at Chattanooga, Tenn, for GRIM
inal assault on young woman. The
court is indignant, and in accordance
with Its direction the department of
justice has taken action to ascertain
the identity of and secure the punish
ment Of the lynchers.
First Case Of the Kind.
This is the first time in the history
VI Ino republic tIlaC Cle manQdLe Oh
the court has been interfered with and
rendered void. After an informal ses-
sion the Justices today decided to
bring, If possible, the members of the
bar before court for contempt proceed
ings, as the department Of justice was
asked also to investigate the case and
bring the lynchers before the bar OF
the Supreme court.
Detectives to Run Down Mob.
ls In the, absence Of Attorney General
/ Moody, who is In Chicago conducting
the prosecution OF the beef trust off
cials, the acting attorney general took
immediate action and notified the dis
ltrict attorney at Nashville to make an
Immediate investigation with view
o@carrying out the instructions Of the
Supreme court. In addition secret ser.
vice detectives will be put on the case
and it is net unlikely that most, Of the
members Of the mob will be In custody
within the next two weeks.
Ed. Johnson, the negro who caused
the trouble, was arrested several
weeks ago in Chattanooga for attack.

MITCHELL FOR PEACE
President Of Miners National Union
Makes a Strong Plea for An Agree
rnent, Urging the Duty Of the Con-
ferees to Themselves and to Their
Country.

New York, March 21.-The de-
mands Of the anthracite mine
workers for readjustment Of wages
and conditions in the anthra-
cite fields would, if granted by the
operators, mean a veritable revo-
luton in mining conditions, ac-
cording to statement issued by
The operators committee of seven
today.
The statement declares it to be
a mistake to assume that the eight
hour day and ten per cent wage
Increase represents the sum total
of the demands of the miners. "a
new and uniform SCALE" says the
statement, would place every
man on the same basis, increasing
the wages of some men as much
as $50 per cent. The average in
grease under the uniform scale
aould be nearly thirty per cent for
outside men. The proposed sched-
ule would mean a veritable revo-
luton in mining conditions"

>~SOA AAAAAASAo
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois went
into executive session today at the
Claypool hotel. The conference is
composed of thirtyfour men, includ-
ing President Mitchell and Secretary
Treasurer Wilson Of the United Mine
( Workers, ex-ofI1cio members of the
scale committee, and four operators
and four miners from each of the four
states.
Illinois Operators Want Relief.
The joint scale committee Of the
central district organized by electing
w. D. Ryan chairman. The discussion
Of the request of the Illinois operators
for relief from the additional expense
causedo by the shot-firers' bill occupied
somSv time, but no agreement was
reached.
The representatives Of the miners
presented the wage scale demanded at
the preceding conference. This was
done as matter of form only. A re-
cess was then taken.
President John Mitchell of the min
ers yesterday afternoon made dra-
matte appeal for industrial peace in
the coal fields of the country before a
joint convention of operators and min
ers. He charged the operators with
responsibility of precipitating great
and ruinous strike if they failed to
make every possible effort to reach an
agreement with their men,
The speech was the feature of the
opening session of the conference
brought about through the interven-
tion of President Roosevelt and upon
the outcome of which depends con-
tinued industrial peace or trade par
alyzing conflict of widespread proper
tions in the soft coal producing states.
In one section of the hall sat 500 en-
ployers. In another were 1000 min
ers. The galleries were filled to over
flowing with spectators. All applaud
ed Mr. Mitchell when he declared the
business interests demanded the set
tlement Of the dispute.
Partial Victory for Robbins
Another feature Of the meeting was
the partial victory scored by Francis
L. Robbins and the peace faction
among the operators in having the
wage question passed along to a Joint
scale committee of miners and opera
tors.
Robbins success after a day of buff
feting in carrying out his peace pro-
gram to this point is viewed in two
lights. That the big Pittsburg opera.
tor has achieved his prime object in
narrowing the discussion to compass
of thfrty-two men, comprising the
joint committee, instead of throwing
1T open to various insurgent camps of
operators and miners is admitted
That he has yet to overcome tremen-
dous odds represented by the opera
tors who are standing firmly against a
compromise with the miners also was
emphasized.
Appeals to Patriotism.
Peace is as chimerical now as. it
was yesterday, however. Many believe
it is more SO, but the fact that the
operators have consented to remain
on the ground and endeavor to treat
with the miners is regarded as a good
omen.
1t was in behalf of the country Of
large that President Mitchell pleaded
for settlement.
Eve owe it first to ourselves and
next to our country" he said. to put
forth our best efforts to reach an agree.

OLOMAN WANDERED AWAY
ANTELOPE COUNTY CITIZEN GRE
ATEs CONSERVATION.
FOUND BY SEARCHING PARTY
J. M. White, Seventy Years OF Age,
Wandered Away From Sick Bed OF
His Wife-Fire Bell Notified Neigh
People-Creek Was Dragged.

Neigh, Neb., June Especial to
The News: j. M. White, who has
been resident of Antelope county for
over twenty-siX years, wandered away
from the home of his son, A. w.
White, who lives nine miles southwest
of Neigh, on Antelope creek, between
the hours of . and 10 o'clock Saturday
morning and was not found until yes
terday morning about II o'clock by
Mayor J. G. jenkins and H. b. Hauser
of this city.
Mr.. White is in his SEVENTEEN year
and has been the constant attendant
of his sick wife, who has been con
her death has been expected any day.
The old people are making their home
with the son, and since the illness of
the wife it appears that no one but
the husband could give the proper care
and attention that she wished. 1t Is
believed that this constant care and
worry has preyed on the old gentle
mans mind that at times he becomes
demented. He told III. b. Hauser
Thursday that they are going to kill
me-" And Friday he had the idea that
his sons were going to kill him.
On Saturday morning he was seen
walking west of the house in the pas
ture-the last seen of him until found.
His son and family thinking he could
not be far began search around the
farm, but not being able to locate him
informed the neighbors and the search
was continued until nearly midnight
Saturday-even dragging several deep
holes with hay rake on the creek
near by.
Sheriff Miller was notified by this
time to secure the Lincoln blood
hounds, but this was thought to be of
no avail, as the ground had been
tracked by scores of people where Mr..
White had been last seen. Sunday
morning at o'clock the tolling OF the
fire bell brought Neigh people out of
their morning slumbers, and a search.
ing party of twenty-five or more men
and boys headed by Mayor Jenkins left
for the farm of A. w. White. The
search was continued in all directions,
some being five and six miles north
and northwest. At nearly IL o'clock
Messrs. jenkins and Hauser drove one
and one.fourth miles east of the A. M.
White farm to the old homestead of
]. M. White, and there the old gentle
man was found lying alongside the
grove. He apparently was uncon-
cerned as to his surroundings, and the
first words uttered by him when
brought to the buggy were. as my
wife dead yet?"
In the house Mr.. White had box
where he kept quite a sum Of money,
and before his departure took between
$40 and $50 with him. This, however,
was found on him when he returned
There was rejoicing in the White home
upon the return of father and grand
father, as vas also among the many
who composed the searching party.

Coach. H.. 49,. ..

Both baseball and basketball for
this year at the state university were
made a surety by the athletic board Of
control at it's last meeting. In the
past neither one has been success fin
ancially, and usually there is con-
siderable hesitation in appropriating
the funds necessary to. make up sue"
cessful seasons in these lines of sport,
but this year the board has even full
Ter treasury to draw from than FOR sew
eral years, and there was no. dissention
when the matter of authorizing team
was brought up. -.
Manager F. E. Reed will attend a
meeting of the Intercollegiate basket
ball rules committee at Chicago Friday,
and expects to begin making up both
basketball and baseball schedules at
that time. Yale has arranged for
western trip this year, and an attempt
will be made to get the sons of Eli to
visit the gopher safe. Columbia and
Wabash are also possibilities, as well
as the larger western teams, including
due.
For basketball coach the board will
attempt to secure the services Of Dr..
j., L. Cooke. DR.. Cooke has been tie
builder of most Of Minnesota s basket
ball teams in the past, and the coaches
Of the past two years, Bill Deering and
Hugh Leach, were his pupils.
Practice has already begun, under
the leadership Of "Mart" Larson, who
was elected captain for this season,
and considerable new material seems
to be available. It is expected that
there will be fifty or sixty candidates
out when the season formally opens.
AS a nucleus around which to form
a team this year, there are five veter-
ans of last YEARS. squad-Larson, Nc
Rae, Tierney, Deering and Greaves.
Helon Leach, who was a frst-team man
two years ago, is back in college and
will make STRONG bid for his old po-
sition Of guard. -. ....,,..I ,
Among the new men are Marsh, who
has played center on the Saltwater
Company F team for two seasons;
Pidgeon, who starred on the varsity
baseball team last spring; Anderson,
Patterson, Lyford, Wendall, Richard-
son, Critchfeld, Woodrich, Foster and
Scharf.
With a good schedule and good
coach in prospect, and the reputation
of last years team to sustain, the
chances seem bright for another cham
pionship team.
