INJURED ENGINEER
PROVES TO Be HERO
Runs Train Twenty Miles After
Throat Is Gut by Glass.

Marshfield, Wis, March Is ames
Delmere, an engineer, whose run is
on the Omaha railroad between here
and Merriam, made himself a hero
nearly at the expense of his life He
was forcing his engine at a forty mile
an hour pace through the huge snow
drifts which have almost completely
blocked traffic here for the past three
days when the window glass of his
cab was broken by contact with the
snow, wind and ice, hurting a piece of
the broken glass violently against his
throat, cutting deep cash and nearly
severing the jugular vein.
With one hand on the throttle and
the other holding shut the wound to
stem the profuse flow of blood, he
brought the train safely to Granton, a
distance of twenty miles. There, near
ly dead from the loss of blood, he was
taken to a hospital, where it is be-
lieved he will recover.

CHARGES MADE BY HASKELL
Motion to Quash indictments Against
the Governor.

the Governor.
Sensational allegations are contain
ed in motions made at Muskogee,
Okla, to quash the indictments against
Governor Charles n. Haskell an other
prominent Oklahoma men, charged by
the government with conspiracy in
connection with Muskogee town site
scheduling.
The motions to quash charge miscon-
duct on the part of Special Assistant
Attorney General Sylvester Rush, of
Omaha, who conducted the grand jury
examinations. 1t is alleged that gov
eminent secret service operatives gave
hearsay testimony before the grand
jury, that important testimony was
suppressed, that the government denied
the jury's request for certain testi-
mony, that witnesses were coerced and
held in subsection and that Rush told

STRIKE ISSUE
TO CONVENTION
Miners Executive Boards to
Call the Meeting.
BOSSES EDICT IS KNOWN

Subcommittee Reports to the Full
Membership of the Executive Boards
of the Three Anthracite Districts
No Serious interruption in the Min
ing of Coal Is Feared in Spite of the
"Stand Pat" Attitude of Both Sides
to the Controversy.
The Anthracite coal mine workers
and operators have locked horns at
Philadelphia. The subcommittee of
the union told the subcommittee of
the operators that the negative answer
given to the employers proposal to
renew the present agreement for three
years is final, that the only agreement
the representative of the workmen
will sign will be one recognizing their
organization. and that it must be
signed by them as members of the
United Mine Workers of America.
What the outcome will be is not
known, but one side or the other must
recede or there will be a suspension
of work April /.
The full membership of the execu-
tive boards of the three anthracite dis
tricts of the United Mine Workers of
America went into session in Central
Labor Union hall at Philadelphia to
act upon the report of the subcommit-
tee which had been in conference
with the operators for two days
trying to arrange a working agree
ment to go into effect April 1. The re-
port was brief as all the members of
the executive boards were familiar
with the details of the conference.
The refusal of the operators to grant
the demands of the men and the
counter proposal made by the employ
ers to renew the present agreement
for another term of three years
were discussed fully, and the execu-
tive boards will fix a time and
place for convention of miners to
take up any matters that President
Lewis of the union may proposes The
offer of the operators to continue the
agreement will be laid before the con-
vention. Delegates to this meeting
will be elected by the local unions.
President Lewis declines to predict
the outcome of the convention, saying
that the matter is for the convention
to settle. 1t is believed that he has
decided upon plan of action and that
the convention will carry this out. De-
spite the "stand-pat" attitude of both
sides, there is still feeling that there
will be no serious interruption in the
mining of anthracite coal.
