Prompt Reply From Operators for
Conference
N RESPONSE TO HIS TELEGRAM

SCRANTON. Pa. May 5.-Ou the advice
of President Mitchell, representing the sub
scale committee the miners convention to-
day unanimously voted to adopt the first
proposition OF the operators a continuation
of the award of the anthracite coal strike
commission. with the modification that the
term for which 1t is to continue shall be
mutually agreed upon. The operators sug-
gestion was that 1t should be at least three
years.
The action of the committee together for
the request Of conference on Monday
was telegraphed by President Mitchell to
Chairman George F. Baer of the operators
committee. and an answer was received
agreeing to conference at o clock Monday
afternoon at the Jersey Central offices in
New York city.
The only matters to be discussed at the
conference are the length of time the award
shall be and the provision that there shall
be no discrimination against the men who
obeyed the mine workers suspension order.
1t is practically certain that the operators
will not accede to any suggestion for a
two-year agreement, as that would throw
the next conference into a presidential year,
and as the miners VIII not want a long
term agreement. the chances are that a
th- ee-year agreement will be eventually
entered upon.
An intimation has reached here from
President Baer that the operators will not
discriminate against the miners now on sus-
pension. and the local representatives OF the
coal companies say the same thing.
1t looks therefore as If a strike had been
averted and the miners viii return to work
probably on Monday, May IA. In his ad-
dress to the convention in presenting the
report Of the scale committee, Mr.. Mitchell

SAME OLD sUGAsoo.

The democrats exhibit deep con-
Germ lest. in case Fletcher Proctor is
elected governor, he will resign at
about the time Redheld Proctor re-
signs from the Senate and the lieuten-
ant governor, ''tool" OF the Proctors,
will nominate Fletcher to succeed his
father in the Senate, thus fastening an-
other generation OF the family upon
Vermont.
OF course the existence of any such
plot has been denied time and again,
but the same old bugaboo is put to the
front once more to scare the voters.
Senator Proctor some months ago
stated his intention plainly-to serve
out his term if able and If unable to
do the duty as he would, to resign at a
time that would leave a fair and free
field open for any contestants, without
favor from him in any way toward
anyone. win Mr.. Clement or his
bureau assert that Senator Proctor
will not keep his word in this matterp
The probable candidates for the
Proctor successorship are being can
vassed already, and they do not in
elude the younger Proctor who, his
friends understand, has no purpose Of
thrusting himself, or being thrust, in
to the place so long held by his father.
So specious a deal as the Clemo-
cratic bureau outlines would not carry
for a moment, and the authors know it
never will be attempted.
A plan much more likely of consum-
nation, in case of Clements election
to the goyernorship, would be his own
resignation. III case Senator Proctor
were compelled to retire, and Glenn
ent's appointment to the Senate by the
Democrat, Pape, who would become
governor.

Mr.. CLEMENT IN THE SENATE

Six years ago the Hon. p. w.
Clement, present fusion candidate for
governor, was a member of the Yer
mont Senate. A perusal of what
he did, what he tried to do and what
he omitted to do is worth while now.
1t is record of which Mr.. Clement
need not be ashamed. On the other
hand. no reason exists tor pointing to
it with pride. It is just the ordinary
achievement of commonplace legis-
lator, featureless in most respects.
He was absent much Of the me, is
unrecorded on many votes. but al
ways managed to be on hand when
there was anything doing that affected
railroads OF corporations. His voice
and vote were invariably given to
protect the particular interests Of the
railroads, however remotely affected.
On the organization OF the Senate,
Mr. Clement was placed at the head
OF the committee on finance, and was
also a member of the Senate CON-
mittee on military affairs and the
Senate committee on corporations.
He headed the joint committee on
temperance.
In the animated senatorial contest
OF that year. Mr.. Clement supported
the Hon. Charles A. PrOuty.
Mr.. Clement fathered the following
Senate bills only
S. 10. relating to the killing Of birds
or taking of birds eggs.
5. 20. giving courts authority to
order medical examination Of persons
bringing snits Tor damages against
railroads at such time and place as
they saw fit.

Men and Woman Killed by Train.


The Rutland railroads northbound
flyer from Boston Tuesday afternoon OF
last week struck a team at Eddy Bros
crossing, two miles south of Rutland, in
stantly killing Mrs. Whitton and Harr y
V. Reed, aged IS and 81 years, respectively.
Albert J. Bissell, who was driving, was
seated IN the laps OF the other two and
jumped over the dashboard, the engine
striking the buggy before he landed on
the ground. He was tramped on by the
horse, which had just cleared the track
but was not severely injured. The horse
ran away and was captured later in Rut-
land.
The body OF Mrs. Whitton was nearly
cut in halves and was carried on the cow
catcher Of the engine until the train
came TO stop about 800 yards be-
yond the crossing. Reeds body was
thrown beside the track and was mangled
almost beyond recognition by the splin-
tiers from the wrecked vehicle, the head
being crushed TO pulp.
Mrs. Wilton was proprietress OF a
boarding house at Bisselrs lumber camp
in Shrewsbury, Reed was employed at the
camp.

Bay state Gas Receiver Begins Battle with
on Magnate.
Boston, Macs. March 7.-Arguments
in the suit against II. H. Rogers Of
New York, brought by George Wharton
Pepper, receiver OF the Bay State Gas
Company, Of Delaware, to recover
g. 600, GOO from Mr.. Rogers we're begun
yesterday in the United States Circu II
Court. This suit grew out Of the con-
siderHtion of the boston Gas Company
and was brought by Receiver Pepper
to recover assets which he claimed
were acquired by Mr. Rogers in the
settlement of the gas company's ANAL
Ramsts5n.
Attorney Sherman l.. WhiIple, for
The plaintiff, declared that at the time
Of the transfer of the control Of the
New England Gas & Coke Company,
there was paid TO Henry Il. Rogers
approximately 80, 600. OCO or 81, eco. OOO
more than Rogers paid for them.
The sale of the Brookline and Dor
chester Companies owned by Rogers
was effected, he argued, through
the use Of Mr.. Rogers position as
trustee for the Bay State Gas Com
rany Of Delaware. The latter company
alleges that the difference between the
cost OF the Dorchester and Brookline
Companies and their selling price
namely 50, 600, O00-belongs to the Del.
aware Company.
