TO CALL STRIKE OF
WESTERN KY. Miners.
So Decides National Board If o.
orators Refuse Increase
In Pay.

At a meeting of the National Execu-
tive Board of the United Mine Workers
Of America, at National headquarters
In Indianapolis last Saturday,it was
decided to present to the operators
of Hopkins, Webster, Union and Chris
tain counties Kentucky the scale of
wages agreed to by the operators and
miners of Western Kentucky, and to
declare strike at all the mines in the
counties where the operators refused
to accept the scale.
A strike in these counties would in
volve about 1900 men. 1t is the in
tention to call the strike January
against these operators who refuse
to agree to the scale, which is now
in operation at other mines of Western
Kentucky.
Several conferences have been held
between representatives of the United
Mine Workers and operators of these
four counties. One was held at Madi-
sonville, KY, November 26, and the
other was held not two weeks ago,
but no satisfactory conclusion was
reached. The miners of Southern Ind.
Southern Illinois, and other parts Of
Western Kentucky are deeply interested
in this effort to establish higher
scale in each Of the four counties, as
at present this coal. mined at lower
scale, comes into compensation with the
output Of the mines where they are
employed.

JUROR BECOMES
RAVING MANIAC.
Member of Panel Trying
Murder Case.
Was Possessed With the Halluci-
nation that He Himself Was
To be Hanged.

Because a member of the jury,
John. eKller, became mentally unbal-
anced, the murder case against Will
liam Poole, submitted to the jury at
four o'clock Saturday afternoon, has
been continued until the next term
of the Daviess criminal court, says
the Greensboro Messenger. Mr..
Keller's condition became alarming
shortly before midnight Sunday night
and, at 1890 court was convened at
the Bell hotel, the jury discharged
and the case continued.
Deputy Sheriff John Head, who
had Charge of the jury called Judge
Birkhead shortly after midnight, and
stated the facts to him. The Judge
Immediately summoned William
Stone deputy clerk, and instructed
Jailer Calhoon 10 bring the defend
ant, Poole, 10 the hotel. Within a
few minutes. the necessary parties
were at the hotel and the order dis
missing the jury was entered. Mr..
Keller was taken Immediately to his
home in the Rome neighborhood,
where he is a prosperous and highly
respected citizen.
When the jury was locked up Sat
urday night, Mr.. Keller appeared to
be in his normal mental condition. 1t
was not until about noon Sunday that
he began to show any unusual symp-
toms. He then appeared to be ex'
tremely restless. Later in the day,
IL became apparent that he believed
himself charged with some crime
and that he was being guarded: AS
the night wore on, the hallucination
firmly possessed him that he himself
was to be hanged. ~
When the jury retired Deputy
Sheriff Head turned out the lights
and stretched himself on the bed in
the hope that, with perfect quiet KEEL
Ter would go to sleep and be restored
to his normal condition. Presently
he heard Keller getting up and put
ting on his clothes. He turned on the
light and asked, "Mr. Keller, do you
want anything?"
Keller walked over to where the
deputy sheriff was and took some pa
pers out of his vest pocket. You
see these" he asked. We'll, there
will be some business matters to set
tie after l am gone. want my wife
to have these. There will be dead
man here in the morning"
Mr.. Head regarded the state of af-
fairs as crisis and proceeded at once
to notify Judge Birkhead.
1t is supposed that the solicitation
of Mr.. eKller to arrive at correct
solution of the problems presented
by the case and the continued strain
incident to being kept locked up
through two nights and a day I'M
balanced his mind. 1t is practically
certain that, had he remained in his
normal condition, the juryw ould not
