MITCHELLTOQUIT JOB
MINERsT PRESIDENT WILL NOT
RUN FOR REELECTION.
HIS HEALTH is TOO POOR
Announ cement Is Made in United
Mine Workers Journal-Has
Been Head of organiza-
tion Since 1898.

Indianapolis, Ind.-John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine Work
ers, announced in the current issue of
the United Mine Workers Journal
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election as president. He says in his
announcement that he does not re.
gard himself as well enough to attend
properly to the office. None of the ex-
ecutive officers of the organization
was in the city Thursday, but it is
said at headquarters that Mr. Mitchell
will finish his present term as presi-
dent, which expires April l of next
year.
Mr. Mitchell underwent a surgical
operation about six months ago and
it is said that he has not fully recov
cred and that it is possible it will be
necessary to perform another opera
ton. He went to Chicago Tuesday
and expected to go from there to La
Sale, ILL.,, Thursday, to consult with
a surgeon in regard to the advisable
ity of another operation.
His Formal Announcement.
Mr.. MitChell's announcement is as
follows:

WHILE LYING ON PRISON COT
Cassie Chadwick Is Baptized BY Ohio
Prison Chaplain.

Columbus, O.-While lying on her
bed in the hospital ward of the Ohio
renitentiary Mrs. Cassie Chadwick.
who is serving a term for having
wrecked the First National bank at
Oberlin. O., was baptized in the RoA
nan Catholic faith.
The authorities at the penitentiary
were greatly surprised when the night
nurse told them that Mrs. Chadwick
had informed her of her desire to be-
baptized by Father Kelly, the prisoH
chaplain. The priest, when informed
of the woman's wish, said he gladly
would comply, and with no one press
ent, the rites were formally admins"
tered. This is the only occasion when
Mrs. Chadwick professed an interest,"
in religion, it is said.
The woman's condition apparently
is about the same, but it is stated that
she will never leave the big prison
alive. Many doubt the genuineness OF
her symptoms.

Youthful Criminals.


Two-thirds of the convicts in Ameri-
cas- greatest prison (the Missouri
penitentiary at Jefferson City, are
men without trade or profession. Look
into any state penitentiary, and you
will ordinarily find that at least one
third OF the convicts there confined
are young men, ranging in age from IS
to 25 years, and that nearly all Of
these came into prison absolutely
without the knowledge of any useful
and gainful occupation. Comparative
ly few of the younger class of felons
are illiterate. In my own experience,
writes Thomas Speed Mosby, Missou-
ri state pardon attorney, in Success
Magazine, have never met one who
could not read and write, and very
many (by far the greater number, l
should say are possessed of no small
degree of intelligence. But, however
stupid or however precocious, they
are found to be, scarcely without eX-
ception, young men who have not ap-
piled themselves to useful, honest
work. This is true of both the poor
and the well-to-do. Why are they
there? The answer is given by Gus
tave Marx, one of the Chicago car
barn bandits, who recently died upon
the gallows: 1T wasn't drink that
caused my downfall" he said; mot
cigarettes, nor bad companions, either.
1t was just idleness. Idleness led me
first to cigarettes, then to drink, then
to bad comprehension to the gal
lows. And l blame my folks. If they
had made me remain at work, work
would have kept me too busy to have
planned robbery and murder" This
is the story that fits them all. First,
idleness; then cigarettes and drink, to
blunt the moral sense and destroy the
will; then living beyond ones means;
then indulging the riotous eXcesses
that spell debauchery and make for
ruin. And may they not rightly blame
their folks, as did Gustave Marx?

LOANS NEWS TO HIM.
p. S. Trainor Never Heard of 500,
900 Charged to Him.

New York-Loans of over $20,000,-
900, which the books of the Southern
Pipe Line company show were made
to P. S. Trainor between 1899 and
1905, became more puzzilng Of solu-
tion to Frank B. Kellogg, conducting
the federal suit against the Standard
Oil company, Thursday, when Mr..
Trainor, taking the witness stand in
the oil suit, testified that the money
had never been paid to him and that
he had never heard of the account.
The Southerns books show that
unsigned vouchers were received for
these loans, and that the money was
never handed back to the company.
Mr.. Trainor said that he was formerly
crude oil purchasing agent for the
Standard Oil Company of New York,
and, as such, purchased all the oil
and sold it to the refineries. He said
he acted in a similar capacity now for
the Standard Oil Company of New
Jersey.

LUsITANIA SETS NEW RECORDS.
Crosses in Four Days, 20 Hours, Aver.
aging Nearly "a Knots.

New York.-The Cunarder Lusita-
mia, with practically all the transatlan-
tic records to her credit, arrived
abeam the Sandy Hook lightship at
1925 a. m. Friday.
The time for the trip from Daunt's
Rock to the Sandy Hook light, the off
cial course over which the speed trials
were made, was four days, 20 hours.
The last days run was apparently the
fastest of the trip, the giant liner hit
ting up her speed to rs knots an hour
over smooth sea with little wind to
interfere with her.
The Lusitania's time averages al
most exactly "a knots an hour for the
entire trip. Her arrival at 1920, or
five minutes earlier than she passed
the lightship, would have made her
speed exactly "a knots.

Mrs. Cassie Chadwick.

in that city have yet been announced.
Mrs. Chadwick embraced the Catholic
faith and was baptized few days be-
fore her death. Thursday morning
she received the last anointment.
The decline in Mrs. Chadwick's
health began almost from the time
she entered the penitentiary on Janu-
ary II, 1906, sentenced to ten years
imprisonment. She fretted incessant-
ly over her confinement and worried
about her troubles until it became al
most impossible for her to sleep. At
times she was so peevish the patience
of the prison officials was sorely tried.
She was a robust and healthy looking
woman when she came to the prison,
but she gradually wasted away and
had lost fully 80 pounds at the time
of her death. The physicians declared
she was the victim of 4 total nervous
collapse, described in medical science
as nourasthenia.

SAYS MINES WERE SALTED
SENSATIONAL FRAUD DlSCoV-
Erred NEAR LENDER, WYo.
Investors Not to Lose-Prime Movers
in Organization Will Redeem
All Steck.

Helena, Mont.-Tne Record pub
fishes a story to the effect that
numerous Montana and Washington
investors have been mulcted to the
extent of more than a third of mil
lion dollars through the discovery that
certain placer mines near Lender,
Wyo., had been salted and that the
property in question is worthless.
Thomas l.. Greenough, of Missoula,
and j. F. Greenough, of Spokane, who
were the prime movers in the organi-
cation, have notified all investors that
they will redeem all stock at the price
paid, thus assuming the loss.
The discovery that the property was
salted was due to an independent ex-
animation conducted by Speaker E.
w. King, of the Montana legislature,
and ]. R. Neill, of Spokane, heavy
prospective investors, who found,
after removing a few inches of the
shaft walls, that the ground was value
less, as were the tailings, although all
previous experiments showed values
ranging from 20 cents to nine dollars
a yard.
A Chicago firm was so impressed
with the future of the property that it
offered the Greenoughs $2,50O,00O for
their interest, but the offer was re-
jected.
Water not being available, work had
been started from either end on a
tunnel through mountain so the

One of the great electric manufac.
turing companies reports gross earn
ings for the year covered by the
statistics at over $33,O0O,OOO, with
profits of $4,179,OOO This is the elec.
trio age for sure, and the experience of
this one concern is probably matched
by that Of others. The demand for
electrical appliances in every form
was never greater nor is there any
indication of subsidence An interest
ing accompaniment of this report of
earnings is the government statement
OF copper production, from which it
appears that the output of the metal
for 1906 was 9O6, 6,591 900 pounds. or
1S,OOO,OOO pounds in excess of the
amount in 1905. Production and con-
sumption of copper are intimately re-
lated to electrical development, and
