OFFER WILL PROBABLY
BE FIRMLY Y DEC lNED


" Philadelphia, April 6.--In the am
thracite region the arbitration propo-
sition Of the miners is regarded III
varying lights. The operators who
could be induced to venture an opiil-
ion expressed the belief that it will
not be accepted Various reasons tor
its rejection are advanced, one being
the Discrimination of the operators to
leave the solution Of technical mining
problems TO an umpire who might
prove inconlpe tent.
Judge Gray may be all right, but
some one else may be all wrong,
was the way one operator expressed
it.
Judge Gray was asked last night at
his home IN Wilmington, Dell # he
would be willing TO act ais umpire, HE
declined to discuss the subject, giving
as his reason that he had not been OFT
ficially requested to serve An official
OF the mine workers union at Scranton
said tonight:
The operators have been flooding
the papers and magazines with facts
and figures to prove what an excellent
institution the board Of cancellation IS.
Nov, Mitchell has put il up to them
to accept his proposition or admit
that they did NOT mean the nice things
they said about the board Of corclli-
alton. e

MITCHELL HAS PUT
OPERATORS jim HOLE

New York, April 6The hard coal
miners of Pennsylvania proposed to the
operators that all disputes be referred
to arbitration, the tribunal to be COM
posed of the board of Cancellation
created by the anthracite strike conf
mission in 1909, with Judge George
Gray, OF Delaware, or any person he.
may appoint as a chairman and umpire.
If the operators accept and a conyen-
tion Of mine workers approves the plan
the 100 men now idle in the anthracite
fields will return to work at once. While.
: it had been reported for several days
that the miners might ask that the dlf-.
ferences be arbitrated, the proposi-
ton was a great surprise to the mine
owners, as they did not believe the tin-
ion leaders were ready to leave the con-
troversy to third party at this time.
That the operators will accept the
miners proposal as submitted is not
generally believed In fact it is. ilti-.
mated they may fatty refuse the offer
on the ground that the existing condi-
tions are the result oil arbitration. The
employers promised to give President
Mitchell and his men an answer on
Monday, when another meeting Of the
two subcommittee will be held.

THE FIRST APOSTLE
STARTS FOR CHICAGO

Mexico City, April 6.-John Alexand-
er Dowie, the FIRST apostle of the Chris
tian Catholic Apostolic church in Zion,
left here with a party last night for
Chicago, where he will confront the
leaders who have attempted a revolt
against him. DR.. Dowie was in good
health but indignant at the conduct of
the men who according to letters in his
possession were protesting loyalty to
him within the week. fss&3
In an interview with an Associated
Press representative at his hotel he re-
viewed the history of. his church and
spoke of it as spread not only in the
United States but in Europe.
His hotel table held many kilograms
of loyal assurances from England and
the United States and offers of financial
aid if required. These kilograms were
very gratifying to DR. DoWie, who spoke
freely regarding those who have, in his
absence organized a movement for his
deposition which he ridiculed as pre-
posterous. He said that the trouble
came to climax as result in part of
his Mexican undertakings. Is His wife
and son agreed with those who made
objections. He added that his son, al
though not a bad man, did not walk in
his (Dowie's) ways. He said that his
followers thought he was going to die
and in fact seemed little sorry that
he did not and now opposed his re-
turning to Zion City. He ridiculcd the
idea that those he had appointed could
dismiss him who had appointed them.
Concerning the charges of polygarn-
GUS teaching, DIR. Dowie stated that
in none Of his literature is there any
support of this doctrine He said he is
sincere monogamist and has not con-
templated introducing polygamy into his
Mexican colonies. 8 1T
Dowie discussed the matter from q
biblical standpoint Nothing, Dowie
said, could keep him from going to Chi
cago to face criminal or other charges
which had not the slightest basis in
fact. He humorousiy remarked that his
deposition arrived in Mexico April fools
day. He appeared anxious to confront
his opponents and felt confident of the
loyalty of the great mass OF his adher-
eflts

bksDeS, Jan. ,. Nothing doing in today's market, with plenty od stocks being offered and no takers. It looks as though we might expect to see this thing last Tor at least a week more until all money matters are settled and money brought down to a reasonable rate of interest Although money ruled easily all day at 6 and closed at 8. it will have to get dow nto about to per cent before we can see a good market. Neverthe- less these are the kind of markets that the conservative men are looking for and at all times willing to buy up stocks at prices considerable lower than ruling prices
