ARBITRATION
is THE ONLY QUESTION SAY THE
COAL B.ARONS.
The Recognition of Union as Waived
by Miners Declared
Inmaterial.

New York, April 1s.-The sub
committee of the presidents OF the
anthracite coal carrying railroads
and mine operators yesterday drew
up letter to President Mitchell in
which the operators again declare
there is nothing to arbitrate except
the question whether there shall be
any arbitration. This reply is made
in response to Mitchell's recent
amended proposition Of arbitration.
The operators do not, however, re-
fuse point blank to accept Mitchel's
latest plan. They assert all the differ
ences between the miners and en-
ployers we're decided by the strike
commission, and there is no reason
why another attempt should be made
to arbitrate them. After describing
the previous steps of the two sides
and commenting upon plans suggest
ed by the miners, the operators aver
the miners have rejected all the
propositions and they have nothing
further TO offer.
Fundamental principles regard
ing the conduct of this business have
all been established by the strike
commission" the operators declare,
and mo reason is suggested why
they should be retired. We have nc
further suggestions to make than
those contained in our former prop
ositions and we regret you have de-
clined both of them. We have moth
ing further TO offer"
The operators assert the miners
offer to waive formal recognition OF
miners union is not material and de
clare the miners program would in
crease the cost of domestic sizes OF
coal s1.20 per ton.

ARSON GETS RETRIAL

Judge John Day Smith yesterday granted the
defendants motion for new trial IN the case
Of the state against Emma Anderson, convicted
with Emma Yates Of arson III the first degree
and sentenced to ten years in the penitenttary.
1t was asserted at the trial and has since been
urged by counsel and friends that the Anderson
woman was merely tool! Of the Yates woman,
who planned and helped, with Erwin A. Perry,
to burn the building.

Judge says There is doubt In the mind Of
the court whether the evidence in this case
shows sufficient confederation Of the testimony
of the Witness Perry, who was an accom-.
plice, to Justify the verdict against the. de,
PENDANT Emma Anderson. The corroborative
evidence, all or nearly all Of which relates to
the conduct and acts Of the Anderson woman
subsequent to the commission Of the crime, does
not tend in any considerable degree to estab
lish her guilt" ..--.@...s. !. = .s:,.-.I :

PEOPLE. TO VOTE ON GAS
ONE QUESTION OF PUBLIC OWN
ERsHIP WILL BE TESTED BY

BY a vote Of ten to one, the special
council committee on the acquisitions Of
a gas plant decided to recommend to the
council that the question of issuing
bonds for the purchase Of the local gas
plant be submitted to vote Of the
people. The negative vote was by AL
derman E. G. Chatfeld Of the second
ward, who explained that he was not op-
posed to municipal control Of the gas
plant, but thought that there were 9TH
er questions Of greater Importance,
these he named the completion Of the
water supply system by the construc-
ton Of a publication plant and the ex-
tension Of the sewer system.
For the former purpose 1t had been
decided to submit to the vote of: the
people the question of issuing bonds to
the amount Of 100000 and for the
extension Of the sewer system $750,000.
This was already heavy burden to as
be added a proposition to issue another
million and half, the aggregate Of

people, and cause them to reject all
