erators-committee Meeting at In
dianapolis Adjourns Tonight.

Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 27.-Cnless
there is decided change in the senti-
ment, the western Pennsylvania. Ohio.
and Illinois coal miners and operators
committee meeting in this city today,
will adjourn tonight without issuing q
call for joint interstate wage confer
ence. Opposition to issuing the call
seems to be general among the opera
tors. The business conditions are such,
it is asserted, as to make this a very
bad time to enter into the work OF
making a contract to govern the opera
ton of the mines of the country for
the next one or two years. The 1lli-
nois operators also offer, as an excuse
for postponement, that they are still IN

MERCHANTS HOPEFUL
Indca cations Point to Spring Trade
Not Far From Normal, and Pros
poets of Speedy Restoration to Anti
Panic Conditions.

New York. Feb. 27.-In view of the
recent presence in this city of nearly
1000 retail buyers, and the expected
arrival Of another delegation no less
numerous, optimism seems to be the
ruling note in the wholesale district
The opinion was freely expressed by
the proprietors and managers of large
houses, that the prosperity of the
country was fast returning to its old
level, and that retail merchants in
large cities and towns of the country
needed only little more confidence to
induce them to place their orders on
the scale prevalent just before the
panic. The merchants were practi-
cally agreed that their business was
returning to it's old standard more
quickly than they had anticipated, in
dications pointing, many of them
thought, to a spring trade not far from
normal, with prospects Of cnyooDlete
restoration to the anti-panic condt-
tions before many months.

NEXT SATURDAY
Peruvians to Part With Crews
of Evans Fleet With Much
Regret
SAILORS ARE GOOD sPENDERs
Shop Keepers at CalIao and Lima Have
Reaped a Rich Harvest Sailors
Well Behaved During Shore Leave
No Disturbances Mar the Stay of the
Fleet.

Lima, Peru. Feb. 27.-Today Lima Is
regretting that the stay of the Amer
lean fleet is drawing 10 a close. and
visiting sailors are sorry that in two
short days the shore-leave and enter
tainments will give place to the
routine duties of a fleet at sea.
The entertainments have been con-
stant brilliant and successful; the
sailors have enjoyed their excursions
and shopping expeditions; they have
maintained the reputation that the
man atloat has for spending his money
when he is ashore. Shopkeepers, fruit
vendors and curio dealers have reaped
a rich harvest.
Thousands of men had shore lib
erty, but there has been no unpeas-
ant incident or clash with the people
either at Calloa or Lima The fleet is
to leave here Saturday morning. Sew
eral large steamers already have been
chartered to take out spectators to wit
ness the departure.

Russell Page, Decorated By Con-
gress For Valiant Deed, Too
Proud to Ask Aid
AGED WIFE SEARCHED FOR WORK
Page Rescued Wounded Soldier in
Front of Fort Doneison Amid Hail
of BulIets-courase Won Him Ap-
pIause of Confederate sodiery anS
Medal of Congress.

Cleveland. Feb. 27.-Dead from lacA
of proper food, Russell Page, civil
war veteran decorated by congress, for
valiant services at Fort Donelson, was
found yesterday in bed at his home.
While Page was dying his aged wife
was vainly searching for work. Page,
who was confined to his bed as the
result of wound received in the war,
was too proud to ask for aid, as was
his wife.
At Fort Donelson Page led an army
of sappers in the mining Of the ground
near the Notifications. While direct
ing the men Page saw Homer Stratton,
a member of an Ohio regiment, lying
on the ground badly wounded. Page
carried Stratton on his shoulders frorS
the battlefield, keeping his face to the
foe and shielding Stratton from q
heavy musket fire with his own body.
After three volleys, the confederates
ceased firing and cheered him as he re-
treated to safety.

tariffs from eastern points to Seattle
by way of Portland
This action was taken because of a
letter recently written by Commits
sioner clark indicating that thru tar
ifs involving travel over more than
one line of road must have the sane
ton of all the roads involved.
In this case the Milwaukee road
quoted l. ate to Seattle via portland
which involved payment of the full To-
cal rate between Portland and Seattle,
the rate for that portion of the trans
portation east of Portland being
s,lrunk to make a total rate equal to
the Hill lines rate from st. Paul. None
of the Hill lines aSSented to the JOINT
rates via Portland quoted by the Har-
riman and Gould lines, and probably
won't do so unless forced to.
The commission has had the ques-
ton of establishing a thru route and
joint rate via Portland Gateway before
it since last summer, and the time of
decision is indefinite. Pending the de-
cision, the Hartman lines will be OBJ
liged to make the rate to Seattle via
Portland which will equal the sum of
locals on their lines and the Northern
Pacific, which practically puts them
out of the passenger business to Sc
attic.
1t is probable other lines which have
published thru rates via Portland Will
also ask ermission to cancel them
without notice.
Permission will be given, as they
are considered unlawful.

Discharge Duties Lodged
Against Him
PETITION TO GOVERNOR HUGHES
Removal From Office Is Demanded =
Twenty two Specific Charges Lodged
Against District Attorney = Street
Railway Stockholders File the Com
plant.

New York, Feb. 27.-TWenty-
specific charges of failure to discharge
his duties are made in a petition pray
ing for the removal of William T. Je-
rome as district attorney of the county
of New York, which was sent to Gov
ernor Hughes at Albany today by
committee of stockholders in the
Metropolitan Street Railway.
The petition alleges that Jerome
failed to properly prosecute charges of
jury-fixing" and giving Of false testi-
mony in the street railway cases; that
the prosecution of violations of the
criminal law by life insurance COM
panies of New York, as disclosed by
the Armstrong committee, had been
DELAYED. and that the alleged criminal
conspiracy to divert the property of the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company
into the hands of a few men was al
lowed by Jerome to go on and hun
dreds of stockholders were robbed Of
their money; that no attempt was
made to punish men alleged to have
committed other frauds in connection
with the New York city traction deals
Jerome's statements as to judges are
alleged to have been not only improper
but scandalouS in their nature and
tended to destroy the confidence of the
people in the integrity of their courts.
The committee also charges that the
district attorney misconducted himself
in failing to indict and to seek to con-
yict some one of the officials of the
New York Central Railroad Company
in connection with the collision in that
company's tunnel in 1902, when sew
enteen persons We're killed.
Various other cases of alleged fall
ure Of Jerome to perform his duty are
cited in the complaint. The petition
campaign fund to elect Jerome were
received by one of Jerome's assistants
from men connected with large corpor-
ations seeking fayors from the district
attorney, and that the sum of the
amount, which is known, was consid-
erably upwards of $4,000. Among these
contributors. it is alleged. was the at
torney for James II. Hyde. who con-
tributed $4,000.
I'm not worried was Jerome's
comment when told of the charges and
request for his removal We're sent to
the governor today This is another
one, | suppose. They file them up
there every week or so against me- The
governor has never asked me to eX-
plain. If he does, then we will take
cognzance of them"

bury, treasurer. W. F. Hartman
James Donaldson, Frank Eberhart and
e. A. Mallory were named as delegates

tions were presented and adopted:
1--WE as the Franklin County Corn
Belt Meat Producers Association sub
init the following resolutions:
whereas, The Iowa shipper of live
stock has been unjustly treated by
the railroads in the matter of rates to
Chicago.
"Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the action of the officers Of this as
sociation in their attempt to reduce
the rate that the Iowa shipper will
have the same rate for the same dis
tance as the Illinois or Missouri
shipper. that
"Whereas, This matter has cost the
Iowa shipper millions of dollars that
we think there should be a commission
with minds and powers broad enough
to see and adjust such self evident un-
fairness without so much complaint.
This will also apply to Pacific coast
lumber rates.
"That when a powerful monopoly has
such control of public necessity as
the Chicago packers, that a govern
ment commission should have the
power to see that justice is done the
producer and consumer.
"That we favor the passage of par
cells post bill which will bring to the
farmers and consumers door at a
cheap rate the articles of which he is
in need.
"That we endorse the work and
thank the officers of the county and
state organization for their good serv-
ices during the past year.

London, Feb 27.--Chancellor of the
Exchequer Asquith introduced Ii
cense bill in the house of commons
this afternoon. This is the principal
government measure for the present
session of parliament and involves
vast money and labor interests. The
capital invested in licensed property in
this country is not less than billion.
two hundred million dollars, while over
two million people are employed in
traffic. Briefly, the bill provides for
compulsory reduction within specified
period, and on a uniform scale, of d
number of regular saloon licenses thru

oons to be licensed is based mainly
upon the density of population. This
regulation, it is estimated, will wipe out
in the neighborhood of 10000 licenses,
about a third Of the present total.
