Grove made affidavit that he was with
out funds in order that the state would
bear the expense of the Grove witness

to before him. When Judge Day left the
stand the state began offering all ex-
hibits in the case, including documents,
photographs, the lantern, Groves Sig

$4,000.
To every exhibit the defense objected,
the objection being overruled in each
case and the exhibits admitted. The
defense made its most desperate effort
to prevent the admission of certain evil
dence, while the state fought to have
this evidence admitted. Almost every
question asked on either side Is object

Mt. Pleasant is a splendid town,
and in most respects it is an ideal
town. It's citizens are prosperous, they
are intelligent, enterprising, law
abiding and model christian citizens,
but there is without question room
for great improvement, morally,
among some of the sons and daugh-
tiers of Ham, as well as among some
of our own race.
What we want is law that will aid
US to successfully combat the great
strong-holds of immortality, as they ex-
list today in some portions of our city,
and officers who will enforce the law.
The latter we have, and the former we
will soon have, and then Mt. Pleasant
is going to look to her morals.

for meeting Of the Southwestern IN
terstate Coal Operators association here
February "a, means that the operators

"The erroneous impression has gone

close the mines and try to freeze out
the miners This Is wrong.
"The operators will fight. They will
try to work the mines with non-union

They will have immense difficulties in
their way through the thoroughness Of
Inien organization, and the Missouri

teal nYiner, but despite this, the opera
tors will make an effort to supply COAL"

which the following is a synopsis:

swer Premier Rouviers note of Janu-
airy Is, addressed to you, as follows:
" I am ordered by my government to
say that to appreciate the situation and
the case it Is necessary to discriminate.
The real facts are that the Venezuelan
government said 1t would not treat
through M. Taigny (former French
charge d'anaires in Venezuela) until
satisfactory explanations were given,
and not, as M. Rouvier's note states,
that Foreign Minister Ybarra had noti-
fed the French representative that he
would not have any further official re-
lations with him.
That regarding the cable, France
did not because she could not allege a
denial Of justice and instead Of ap-
preaching Venezuela IN friendly man
ner, accused her of violating French
rights, thereby abandoning the legal
road and assuming the responsibilities
Of the cable company.
'Venezuels asks did the cable com
oany fill it's contract? Did the French
government employees assist the wreck

If not, Venezuela yields Otherwise,
he holds France responsible and is
Wiling to submit this to arbitration.
Venezuela throughout has acted in

New York, Feb. 14.-Thirty-five men
representing the miners of the whole
anthracite region, were at the Ashland
house Tuesday night, sitting with John
Mitchell, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, as a scale COM
mittee for the anthracite mining indus
try.
They are the presidents and secre-
taries of the districts in which the an
thracite miners are organized.
These six announced that they were
with Mitchell in the issue raised by
Patrick Dolan, president of the Pitts
burg district bituminous miners.
Situation Disturbs Mitchell.
Pittsburg, Pa, Feb 14.-That the sit
uation in the Pittsburg district has dis
turbed John Mitchell Is evident frem
the fact that he has wired William Lit
tie, a member of the international ex-
ecutive board, and Edward Mckay, ma
tional organizer, both of this district, to
come to New York at once. Both Lit
tie and Mckay are opposed to Dolan and
have been most active in working
against him in the present dispute.
Mitchell Is anxious to get into direct
touch with the leaders in the fight here
against Dolan and arrange for further
moves to GUST the battling president,
and some lively developments are
looked for in the fight upon their re-
turn.

Dolan incident at Pittsburg continues to |
excite President Nntchell's friends. All |
prominent officials of the Mine Work
BIS are absent except s. NJ. Sexton, edi-
or of the official journal. He says:
"Dolan is like monograph. He has
leard the operators make these state
nents about Mitchell, and he repeats
hem"
Reports from the Indiana and Illinois
mining Gowns indicate that the state
nents have strengthened Mitchell.

President Dolan of the Pittsburg dis I
riot with great indignation. All OF the {
fficials of the union here, as we'll as |
