A Well Appointed Steamer

The big stern-wh l steamer, the Port Simpson of the Hudson Bay Co.'S fleet made this port last Sun day, to take up the 'season's work on the Stickine. This is the yes vel's first trip up into northern waters, as she has been operating ever since she was built a couple of years ago, on the Skeena River in British Columbia. She is probab- ly the best appointed stern-wheeler on the Pacific Coast, being fitted up with every modern convenience, including electric lights and bells, large airy staterooms and hand somely equipped bathrooms, with hot and cold taps. She is I37 feet in length, with a beam of 30 feet, and draws less than four feet of water when loaded 10 her capacity of 365 tons. Her present schedule is for four trips, starting today, and leaving here for her lest trip about the 10th of August. There is some probability that .she may make later trip, as there is a large party of English hunters who intend to hunt up the Stickine this fall as soon as the open season will permit of it.
 Capt. J. J. Jackman is in eom- mand of the steamer, ard Percy Patmore is pUrser.

Gasoline Explosion on Mink

Owing to the presence of gaso. line in her bilge, the launch Mink of Petersburg .olew up while in the harbor Saturday afternoon. It ap. pears that Isaac Brood, who, with his brother Jaci;, operates the boat, had opened the cock in the lower part of the tank to drain off the water which had gathered there, and had forgotten to close it again, with the result that the lower part of the boat was filled with gasoline. Knowing nothing about the oil, Jaoi; Brood started the engine, and a spark set the gas atire, which ex- ploded with sach force that it threw him completely out of the engine room on to the deck. He was pain- fully though not severely burned. The inside of the boa took fire, but the flames were eHtinguished before much damage was done.

Everything was hustle and hustle around the Alaska Packers can- nery the latter part of last week, the red fish had begun to run, and the traps were taking all the fish the cannery could handle. The fish are in fine condition, and the large number taken so early in the season promises a big pack. The cannery is rather short handed at present, but both lines of machines were kept in operation. The ex- pectation is to pack 8o,oo cases. The company has fine steel bark, the Star of England, Capt.

MINERS MEETING
UNANIMOUS NOT
TO GALL STRIKE
May Ask Taft to Name Commits
sion to Pass on Fairness
of Demands.

SCRANTON, Pa, March 24-while
great secrecy is maintained by the corn
mittee having charge of the work OF
defining the policy to be pursued by the
anthracite miners In their negotiations
with the operators, the Associated Press
announced late today that II was able
to state that the committee is unani-
nous against the extreme measure Of
calling q strike.
The convention adjourned to meet at
the court house tonight.
1t Is expected that when the tri-
district convention of the anthracite
mine workers adjourns late today the
delegates will have decided upon what
policy to pursue in their efforts to get
some concessions from their employers.
If the situation warrants it an officer
of the Miners Union will present
resolution to the convention asking
President Taft to appoint a commits
sion similar to the anthracite coal
strike commission to investigate the
conditions at present as compared with
those that existed in 1902 in order to
learn If the demands of the men are
Just
The resolution was prepared by an
anthracite man high In the councils of
the organization, and he states today
that 1t would be presented IL found
necessary. IF this occurs the resolu-
tion would not be put into effect unless
the operators again refuse to grant the
miners any concessions.
There is still a strong feeling here
that no strike will be declared. Many
of the delegates are opposed to such
radical action, and they will put up a
hard fight against such a proposition.
The first business called up when
President Lewis called the convention
to order shortly after o'clock this
morning was the reading of the report
of the conference committee. The re-
port consisted of brief statement of
the conference of the miners commit
tee with the operators in Philadelphia,
concluding with these words: Your
committee has therefore only to re-
port that all of our demands were re-
jected at the Philadelphia conference,
and the operators only proposition was
a renewal of the agreement of 1906 for
O period of three years"
A motion to accept the report and
refer 1t to the policy committee was
made.
A delegate from the upper region
shouted:
Let us make concessions and have
peace This sentiment evoked round
of applause.
The policy committee immediately
went into executive session.

Want Last Wish of Girls
Parent Set Aside.

Given by her dying father TO his DEAR
est friends TOR their protection and
solicitudc, 4-year-oId EIizzsbeth sbo-
natb, playful and petite, has become
the object of a bitterly contested Chan
ccry suit between her maternal grand
parents and her foster parents, each of
whom seeks to have her with them.
Elizabeth now lives with her god
mother. Mrs. Bessie Ronnfneihs, of 13
North Second street, to whose custody
she was given by her father on his
deathbed. Mrs. Ronmeihs and her
husband, Charles, had long been friends
of Elizabeth's parents. and when they
died last January. less than a month
apart, willingly accepted the charge
and made preparations to rear the
child
Elizabeths grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. David c. fKeve, of Jersey City, de-
clare that their home has been dark
and empty since Elizsbeth's mother
died and that the little girl is just the
ray Of sunshine needed to brighten It..
They have asked the Court of Chan
Gerry to set aside the deathbed bequest
OF their son-in-law and award tho child
to them. The case will come up for
hearing before Vice Chancellor Howell
on Tuesday when the girl herself will
be taken into court szAs -
The Vice. Chancellor has issued a rule
to show cause why the change should
not be MADE.
Incidentally, Eliza beth was named in
honor of her god-mother, Mrs. Rom
meihs, and when Mrs. Shonath died
she requested her friend to give the
tot mothers care. This was January
last. On January 30 Fred Shonath
the father. died in the Rommeihs's
home In Second street.
The death-bed scene was pathetic.
Calling the little girl to his side Just
before his death he placed her hand In
that of his wife's friend, and, declar-
ing that he had nothing else to give
and could leave nothing more valuable
IL he had the riches of the whole world,
requested Mrs. Rommelhs to care for
Elizabeth as If she were her own child
There are still lines of sorrow in the
baby face at the thought of tho part
ing.
Mrs. Rommelris promised, in the
presence of two witnesses, to comply
with legal requirements, and the dying
man formally made his last bequest,
giving his only possession, the little
girl, to Mrs. Rommeihs

note in his desk to the effect that she
intended to kill herself.
Mr.. Miller sought assistance of the
neighbors, but as it was then dark the
river bank could not be carefully
searched. Soon after daylight this
morning the three bodies We're found at

WILMINGTON OFF
THEATRICAL MAP
No More Big Productions at
Opera House Which Will be
Vaudeville Theatre

The outlook for good dramatic or
musical productions for Wilmington
theatre -goers next season is very poor
as that class of shows is to be discOn-
tinued at the Opera House with the
close of this season.
The Bijou Circuit Company has OBJ
tanned the Opera House for vaudeville.
The Opera House will be taken over
by the new lessees within the near
future.
The Opera House is now controlled
by the Grand Opera House Company
in which $. Fred Nixon and other big
theatrical men are interested.
It is said that the new concern will
present vaudeville at popular prices.
The Garrick Theatre produces Keith
vaudeville, and it is intimated that a
vaudeville war may result in this city.
AS il is understood that the Lyceum
Theatre is to be opened for a stock
company, it would appear that so far
as the regular productions are con-
cerned Wilmington will be annihilated,
although there will be plenty Of vaude-
vile.
The great interest manifested in
vaudeville by Wilmingtonians has evil
IDENTIFY prompted the new comers to
venture into the field. The shows al
ready booked FOR the Opera House for
this season will he presented, it is
understood. but after that Wilmington
will be Oft the dramatic map unless
some new arrangement should be
made.
