Glace Bay, n. S., July 13.-The second
week of the United Mine Workers
strike in the Cape Breton coal fields
finds both sides grim and determined.
The great strike entered upon it's sec
ond week today, and one can rely on
the statements given out by all par
ties to the strike as to the result of the
first week, it is found that no weak
ness has developed in the armor of
any of them.
The United Mine Workers officials
gave out the statement that the result
of the seven days already elapsed is to
demonstrate the strength of that organ
ization and to add materially to its
numbers The Provincial Workmen's
Association officials are in like manner
well satisfied with the showing made
by their organization. The Dominion
Coal Co. which is the third party to the
strike, is far from admitting the con
trol of the situation has passed out of
its hands. For the officials of the com
pany, it has been a very strenuous
week. The managers of the different
coiIieries, the sAiperintendents of the
mining districts, overmen, engineers,
ETC., have been in the very front of the
fight ever since the strike was declared
The general manager. Mr.. Duggan,
and the commercial manager j. X. l..
Ross, have been constantly on tho
ground since the opening of hOstiIities
and on the first morning of the second
week they reported a firm grasp of the

good President.

flying the dignity of the court pro-

the boisterous laughter he created at
times with his droll remarks. Mr.. Hud-
son said he had had four Or five hours
conversation with Thaw all told. prin-

find out whether or not he was insane
and asked him all kinds of questions
to draw him OUT
Thaw and the judge joined in the
general laugh which this unsolicited
statement created The witness said
Thaw showed a remarkable knowledge
of railroading.

INJURIES FATAL,
Mrs. Della Litt|efie|d Dies
At Kennebunk
From In juries Sustained in
Struggle With Fred Rankin.
He Is Improving Physically, But Is
No Better Mentally.

I3iddeford, Me-, July 13.-Without re-
tlefeld, aged 20, succumbed during last
night to the injuries received on the
night of July at Kennebunkport in a
deadly struggle with Fred Rankin, by
whom she was employed as house
keeper. She died at the home of her
sister, Mrs. John Littefield at Kenne-
bunk, where she was taken immedi-
ately after the affray.
Rankin was brought to the local
hospital suffering from a slight con-
cussion of the brain, a half dozen cuts
on the head and a wound on one nand
from which one finger had been shot
off. He has been in critical condi-
ton and bloodpoisoning was feared.
but he has SO far recovered that it was
planned to move him to his home in a
day or two. He has improved bodily,
but not mentally, the physicians state.
At first ii was supposed Mrs. Little
field had sustained only two blackened
eyes and cuts on one ear. but later DR..
f. w. Ross of Kennebunk discovered
that four ribs were fractured and there
We're indications she was hurt, inter
nally, also that her mouth was badly
cut inside and tongue swollen tcrri-
bly,.
According to his attendant, Rankin
has assumed the responsibility for the
aIfray, but will make no statement be
yond admitting that he fired two re-
yOlvp1 Shots at her There were no wit
nesseS to the affair.
After a post norton examination. the
cause of Mrs. Littlefield's death was
given as Inflammation of the lungs and
throat, fractured ribs. injuries to the
intestines and abdomen and violent
injury to the chest. County Attorney
Fred A. Hobbs stated that no immedi-
ate action will be taken.

NO BUSINESS TRANSACTED.
Senate Meets for 20 Minutes and Ad
journs Until Friday.

Washington, July 13.-The Senate
was in session 20 minutes today. ad-
journing at 1920 until Friday. The
major portion of the time of the sit
ting was devoted to a discussion OF
the unanimous consent agreement not
to transact any business while thl
tariff conference was in progress.
The discussion arose over the effort
on the part Of Senator Carter to have
a bill passed pertaining to the. affairs
of the District of Columbia. on the
ground that the bill was such little
one" that no harm could result from
its passage. But Senators Lodge and
Culberson objected and thus prevented
action
The incident served to emphasize the
understanding that no business will
be permitted in the Senate so long as
the conferees are out and is a renewed
assurance to the senator's at the sea-
shore that the interests of their con-
stituents will not be impaired by theil
remaining away.

William &. Holmes, an old Grand
Army man, and the Rev. Frederick
L. Angevine of White Plains both tes-
titled that they had talked with Thaw
and he appeared to them to be ra-
tional The latter witness told of Wis

oner showed him package of letters

or three and did not open the envel-

afternoon. No one accompanied her
