MINE OWNERS
MEET DEFEAT
Special Dispatch to The can.

NEW YORK, June 3-As was pre-
dicted when the bituminous coal OPP
orators disagreed at the Indianapolis
convention few months ago, there has
now resulted a general surrender of
the soft coal operators of the West.
Each operator is making the best terms
with the union he can, and the entire
soft coal trade of the West, SO far as
the operators are concerned, is dis
organized.
When the Pittsburg Coal Company
and a few other concerns decided to
compromise with Mitchell, 1t was pre-
dicted that split would develop in the
ranks of the operators. 1t is recalled
that the Indiana. Ohio and Illinois op-
orators decided to stand pat" and re-
fused to make any concessions. Last
week, however. there was complete
surrender by these operators On this
subject the Black Diamond said last
week:
Interest has been aroused in the
strike situation during the week, ow-
linois operators in Chicago on Monday.
At this conference the Illinois opera
tors asked to be released from their
stand pat pledge, to enable them to
negotiate an agreement with the min
ers on the best basis obtainable. Indiana
was not Represented at the meeting, ow-
ing to the fact that the leading opera
tors of that State were engaged In me-
gotiations with the. miners. Ohio ope-
rators considered that the non appear
ance of the Indiana operators was
equivalent to a withdrawal from the
organization, and as a consequence it
is now regarded as certain that the in
terstate movement is disposed of per-
manently, without any possibility that
1t will be revived.
The results of the termination Of the
interstate movement will not be felt

Insurance Concerns Must

Senate Protects Persons
Whose Documents
Were Lost.
Special pispa tch to. The CAN.

SACRAMENTO, June 3.-Today's ses-
sion of the Senate was prosaic and
without incident. The fact that 1t was
the Sabbath had its influence, and the
days business was conducted soto yoce,
and if, indeed, any difference regarding
the various bills existed no one had the
heart to offer debate. However, one
important measure was finally passed.
1t was Assembly bill No. /. This bill
authorized the Insurance Commissioner
to demand from al insurance compa-
nies list of their policies. Thousands
of people in San Francisco have lost
their policies. and hundreds do not re-
member the names of the companies in
which they we're insured.
The bill in question is aimed to assist
these people to secure information ne
cessary to enable them to collect their
insurance. 1t is provided in the bill
that the failure of any insurance COM
pany to furnish the necessary informa-
tion shall be followed by It's forfeiture
of the right to do business in the State.
Another measure that will call for
full consideration is simpson measure
appropriating funds for the services,
supplies and transportation of the Ma
tional Guard. This will cost the State
in the neighborhood of half million
dollars.
The Senate will reeonvene tomorrow
at 10 o'clock. Then the real work of
the session begins.

Lincoln ]. Beachey, the Toledo aero
naut, lost control of his airship today
and fell a thousand feet to the ground
where he was pinned under the dis
abled machine. The balloon fell in
an open field. and Beachey was uncon-
scious when his body was dragged
from the debris.
More than thousand people wit
messed his flight and saw the battle
for life above them. The daring sky
chauffeur soon revived and, strangely
was found to be uniniured. The flight
was made in the new airship called
'Knabenshue II and took place at
Luna Park.
Beachey started to cross the city,
but when his machine reached a high
altitude 1t struck a strong breeze.
After trying in vain to continue the
flight Beachey was forced to turn
back. When a thousand feet above
Luna Park counter wave hit the air
ship, straining it to such an extent
as to break the long triangular frame

occurred and loud cries went up all
over the park.
Beachey clung to the ropes as the
big propeller swung into the balloon
and cut into the front of the bag He
dropped all his ballast, and. the re-
naming gas carried him higher and
the wind blew him away from the

NEW YORK. June g. - The inside

Of the young millionaire at the table.
Part of IL was for real money, perhaps
$5o,oe9 borrowed by Vanderbilt from
the gambler
Reggie" Vanderbilt has unlimited
credit with Garfield. He used to go to
the gambling house at East Forty
fourth street frequently All he had to
do was TO ask for chips, and he got
them without Putting up any money.
The man in charge of the game would
simply make a memorandum TO the ef-
feet that Vanderbilt had been given so
many chips, representing so much
money, and the amount would be
charged against Vanderbilt II he lost
ne could get more. AS matter of fact
Garfield had instructed David Bucklin.
his manager, TO permit young Wander

feit inclined to do so and never to de-
mand any money from him, but sfmplv
10 keep careful account of all the
transactions
For two years il ran along in this
way" said the informant to your cor
respondent 1T often happened that
Vanderbilt would find himself without
cash after the nights play. All he had
TO do IN that case was to ask Garfield
or Bucklin for what money he wanted

say to the gambler. just let me have
$1,000 or $4,000. and Canheld would hand

sweetened coffee. Many Of the refugees,

the Kitchen. preferring to go hungry
rather than to go through the rain for
the meal that would be set before them.
Many indignant citizens talked of a

The little girl looked at the food. and
then, bending over the one she had
served, said: 1T is a shame to feed
people like this. and I am ashamed to
wait on the table.
At the door, however, different
class of employees held forth. The men
whose duty it was to take up the

poor refugees with hardened smiles,

happened to be old or poorly dressed
