WOULD CRIPPLE INDUSTRY
Argument Used Against Eight-Hour
Day for English Miners.

London, March 13.-The colliery
owners who have been comforting In
the city on the subject of the govern
ment's bill establishing an eight-hour
day for miners decided, should par
lament pass the measure, to advance
the price of coal SO cents a ton and
to make all future contracts on this
basis. Shipowners, railways and man
ufacturers have been sending delega-
tions to Herbert Gladstone, secretary
for home affairs, ever since the intro
duction of the bill, pointing out that
the, inevitable curtailment of the out
put and the increase in the price of
coal will mean serious financial
strain, If not bankruptcy, to many of
the country's big industries. Mr. Glad
stone thinks these fears are exagger-
ated, but admits that the bill will re-
quire some amendments.

drawn. The war department esti-
mated that the operation of such a

BIG CONVENTION OF MINERS
Meeting at indianapolis to Decide on
Course to Pursue After April 1,
When Wage Scales in Bltuminous
Districts Expire.

Indianapolis, March 13.--The ma
tional convention of the United Mine
Workers of America went into session
here to agree upon course of action
resulting from the failure of the oper-
ators and miners of the Central COM
petitive field to agree upon a joint
wage conference to fix scale to
succeed the present scale, which ex-
pires April /.
The wage scales for the various
bituminous fields of this country and
Canada are based upon the scale fixed
in the Central competitive field. con-
sisting of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and
Western Pennsylvania. Failure to
agree upon a joint meeting to fix a
scale in this field has caused Presi-
dent Mitchell to call a national meet
ing of the miners to take decisive ac-
ton. Indications are that four propo-
sitions will be considered by the con-
vention.
The first will be to adopt wage de-
mands and then issue a call for a
joint wage conference, opening the
door to all operators who may wish
mines in operation.
The second will be to adopt scale
and issue a call for joint wage con-
ferences by districts.
The third will be to refuse to make
any scale except by competitive dis
tricts, which would mean that the
Western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois operators and miners
would be held to be one unit, as
would those of Missouri, Kansas, Okla
homa, Arkansas and Texas-the
Southwestern com petitive field
This Proposal for Peace.
The fourth proposition will be the
extreme peace measure, provision
that the present contract be continued
In effect a month longer and the
mines be kept in operation during that
period.
1t is thought President Mitchell will
advocate the adoption of one of the
first two policies, expecting by pursu-
ing that course to get some of the op-
orators to sign up and put their mines
in operation
There is disposition" said John
Mitchell, ION the part of some of the
coal operators to stimulate coal mar
ket prices by strike, or by the threat
of bringing on such a strike. We
have done all that we could do to pre-
vent this and it looks now as though
there would be a full suspension of
mining in all these great bituminous
fields on April l. We have stated our
willingness to keep the mines in op-
Grafton after April / for a limited
time, provided wage settlement is
under negotiation on April /, but the
operators, with some exceptions, not
ably the Indiana operators, have re-
fused our requests for joint wage
conference and have persisted in post
ponements and delays. The miners
convention is convened to adopt our
DOlicy"

Admiral Evans Declares Entire Squad
ron Is in Condition for Any Emer-
sency or to Sail for Any Destination
at an Hours Notice.

San Diego, Cal, March ia wire
less message received by the Point
Iona government wireless station is
to the effect that Rear Admiral Rob-
ley d. Evans and his big battleship
fleet has arrived off Magdalena bay.
News that the big fleet has already
arrived at Magdalena bay comes as a
big surprise. The itinerary of the
long voyage, beginning with the start
from Hampton Roads on Dec. 16 last,
did not call for the arrival of the ships
at Magdalena bay until Sunday, so
with their arrival at the Mexican bay
Wednesday night the feet is almost
four days ahead Of time.
1t has been known for some weeks
past that the big sixteen" would ar
rive at It's practicing ground ahead of
time, but it was never suspected that
such an excellent showing as this
would be made, The important fact
about 1t is that most of the four days
gain In time was made on the last
stretch of the voyage from Callao
South America. Previous to the visit
at that port the fleet was kept on
schedule, making the various stops
the full length called for In the itin-
erary.
Fleet in Perfect Condition.
An official message was also re-
ceived from Rear Admiral Evans him
self by the local wireless station to be
transmitted to Washington. 1t was to
the effect that Admiral Evans report
ed to Washington that he arrived at
the bay with all of the ships of the
fleet in even better condition than at
the time when it sailed from Hamp-
ton Roads and that he is even now
ready for any unforeseen emergency
that may arise and that the entire
fleet is prepared to sail for any des-
tination at an hours notice.
The Importance of this message is
overwhelming. The eyes of the en-
tire list of naval officials, practically
every citizen of the United States and
even the entire world were expectant-
ly awaiting the reports at the ter
minus OF the voyage as to the effects
1t would have on the ships. Now
that word has been received that the
entire feet is in even better condition

Artillery Fire Kills Hatching Chicks
and Damage Claim Is Handed
Down from Taft to His
Successor

FAIRHAVEN, N. j., Aug. 2.-By
resigning his post as secretary Of war
when he did, william II. Taft lodged
one of the most perplexing questions
which has ever come before the war
department. His successor, Gen. Luke
E. Wright, is now entangled in the
meshes Of investigation, which has al
ready caused the writing OF many re-
ports and the unwinding of rods OF
official red tape.
This is the proposition with which
Gen. Wright is now wrestling:
To what extent will cannon dis
charge damage Matching eggs at a dis
tance of two miles, and how much
ought the government pay per egg 20
the man whose property is ruined?
The problem has come from A. w.
Handy of this place, who raises chick
ems as fine as can be found anywhere.
Here is a letter which he wrote to
Secretary Taft, which Gen. Wright has
inherited:
Dear Sir: Kindly pardon the liberty
/ take in writing this letter to you. I
am poor man and have a large fam
lily, and as what 1 am writing about
is the governments fault. thought 1
would write and see what could be
oone in the matter. [ am in the
chicken business, and on May 20 last
/ set my incubators and also my hens.
The incubators held 120 eggs each, for
which ] paid $5 a hundred. For the
settings, under hens, 1 paid 81 each.
ION the 18th of June l tested the
eggs and found that one incubator had
ninetythree fertile eggs in it and the
other had eighty-seven fertile egg.
One of the hens had nine fertile and
the other eleven fertile eggs. On
Thursday, June IS, quite large num-
Der of the eggs had pipped. That
night the shooting of the sham battle
took place and 1t killed all my chicks
in the shell. Kindly let me hear from
you in regard to this matter. AS
said before, am a poor man, and this
means quite a loss to me. Trusting
for an early reply, etc.
Since the report of this letter there
has been great perturbation in the war
department. The claim was referred
to the officers in command of the forts
which caused the trouble, and by them
referred back to Washington. Gen.
Arthur Murray, chief of artillery, and
AdJt. Gen. Ainsworth have both taken
part in the investigation Not since
the Spanish war has there been such
turmoil in the department, it is UNDER
stood
In the meantime, while the officials
are worrying over the eggs, Handy has
bought a new supply and is going
ahead with his incubating.

PURSUES RIVAL 5000
MILES TO PULL HAIR
San Francisco Wife Finds the "other
Woman at Atlantic City and
Lively Fight Follows
the Meeting

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August a.
Mrs. Sarah S. Dunn, a beautiful San
Francisco woman travelled 1000 miles
to pull the hair of the "other woman"
who ran away with her husband and
$125,000 in money, which the husband
had procured from his wife to finance
mining venture.
And at the end of this chase Mrs.
Dunn met the "other woman''--a Mrs.
Holmes--on the boardwalk and pulled
her hair. Theh usband, who was with
Mrs. Holmes" at the time, promptly
skipped and has not been seen since.
In front of one of the big beach-front
cafes the three persons met, and the
women instantly engaged in hight,
Mrs. Holmes" getting far the worst
of It,, and being saved from further
punishment by the intervention of po-
licement and passersby.
According to the irate wife, the hus-
band procured about $125,000 from her
on the plea that he intended to invest
in a mining scheme, but she declares
that he used it instead for fund with
| which he left San Francisco with the
other woman. Mrs. Dunn declared
that she followed the pair across the
continent, but did not meet them until
she bumped into hubby and his COM
panion ON the boardwalk.
Details of the encounter between the
women differ, but spectators assert that
that the scrap was worth seeing. No
sooner had Mrs. Dunn sighted the hus-
band and the woman than she sailed
in,' and in a few seconds hair was
flying in all directions, while the
shower of hairpins was mixed with
similar downpour of lace and satin. as
the two women tore off each others
handsome evening costumes. The hus-
band first made an attempt to separate
the warning pair, but failed. He called
the police and then fled.

counter are said to be well known in
