Correspondence OF Associated Press
st Petersburg, April 22 Belated

The, wilder spirits among the prisoners,
criminal and political, who form prac-
tically the entire population Of Alex

restraint, applied the torch to the pub
lie and the private buildings, drank
themselves into wild fury and vented
their passions in pillage and murder.
Owing to the fierce October storms
the ships containing the troops dis

ABERDEEN OFFICIALS
DON'T WANT THELAN

Aberdeen. S. d., May St. III. The
lar, held by the police at Butte, Mont,
for the Aberdeen authorities will be re-
leased 1t was learned that he would
not return without requisition papers
and when tha matter came up at to-
days meeting Of the county commits
sioners, the members decided not to
ask for a requisition for the reason that
there might be a mistake in the man,
and should such prove the case, SER
ious complications might result An
other objection was that by the time
papers could be secured, Thelan might
have been given his liberty through a
writ OF h.sbeas corpus, or other legal
proceeding, and the county would be
put TO needless expense.
The sheriff was directed to wire the
Butte police Of the action of the com
missioiers. Thelan was arrested ON
the charge of being short in his ac-
counts while employed as bookkeeper
for local brewing concern, more than
a year ago. TIE total shortage Is al

Hard Coal Miners Are
Meeting in Scranton


Scranton, Pa, May 3.-Six hundred
and thirty delegates, representing the
mine workers of the hard coal fields of
Pennsylvania assembled in joint con-
vention here today with John Mitchell
president of the union. There will be
but one controlling element against the
feeling OF strike in evidence among
the delegates and that will be the coun-
sci from Mitchell for many of them,
perhaps a majority, have been advised
by their locals to be guided by his ad-
vice. Tie people here are about re-
concled to the fact that the convention
will declare a strike and the only thing
they believe can possibly avert it may
be the recommendation that instead OF
the convention taking positive action it
refers the matter back to the locals for
a referendum vote. The meeting was
public and he,d in the courthouse.
Alter tic appointment of the various
committees recess was taken until

STATEMENT ISSUED BY
THE COAL OPERATORS

New York, May 3.-Anticipating the
convention of miners which is in ses-
sion at Scranton, the anthracite coal op-
orators issued a statement outlining their
views OF the negotiations to date. The
object OF the statement, according 10
It's Introductory pages paragraph is ito
prevent misunderstanding OF the situa-
tion which had led to the convention"
1t declares that in the summer Of zoos
the leaders Of the United Mine Workers
found their organization rapidly dwind-
ling so that having ordered large
wage increase is a result of the arbtra-
ton award of the commission appointed
by President Roosevelt in 1902, the men
apparently saw no reason TO continne
to pay union dues 1t adds that OH
June I. the total membership was 38.-
|SIo President Mitchelrs tour resulted.
the statment says, in increasing the union
membership TO 8o,487.
Backed by the results. of this CAM
paign, the statement continues, "And
disregarding the fact that the anthracite
commission had settled the fundamental
principles which should govern relations
with the operators, the miners report
came forward March /, with an extra
ordinary list of new demands"
Then the statement declares, there be-
gan the playing of one industry against
another Mr. Mitchell went to In
dianapolis and with the suggestion that
a strike might be called in the anthracite
fields demanded large wage increase
from the bituminous operators.
The statement concludes:
Failing with the btuminous operat-
ors Mr.. Mitchell now made a further
effort to obtain his wants from the an
thracite operators. His last demand
was for limited wage increase. This
is precisely the question which the OPP
orators proposed to arbtrate. But the
fear that fair arbitration might not re-
pay the men the union dues which they
were so urgently impressed to pay. in
order to get more apparently prevents
arbitration.
Every claim of the miners was duly
considered by the coal commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt. The
position of the operators in 1906 IS pre-
