THOUSANDS ARE IDLE
Bituminous Coal Miners Cease
Their LaborS.

Indianapolis, April 1.-Three hum
dred thousand organized miners of the
bituminous coal fields of Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas have quit work.
The miners, members of the United
Mine Workers of America, declared
the walkout was not strike, but
merely a suspension Of work pending
an arrangement between themselves
and the operators of wage scale for
another year, the old scale having ex-
pired with the month of March. The
men demand an increase of pay in
some instances of cents ton, in
other instances more and certain
changes in working conditions.
While the miners predicted the sus-
pension would be cut short by a
prompt signing Of wage scales some
of the operators maintained the
mines might be kept closed for a
month, or sixty days or longer.
Conferences between the miners or
CARNATIONS in the several districts and
the operators associations have been
arranged. Adjustment of the diff Guilty
may be question Of weeks or days.
In the Brazil block coal district of In
diana the operators conceded the
higher wage demand of the miners.

BLAmES The METH0DlSTS
Papal Delegate FaIconio Discusses
Roosevelt Incident,

Washington, April 5.-Sharply criti-
cising the work of the Methodist
church in Rome as "insulting agitation
and offensive proselytism, which con-
stitute a real warfare against the pope
and the Catholic religion" Mgr. Fal-
COMO, papal delegate to the United
States, commented upon the Roose-
welt. incident with the Vatican. The
papal delegate declared that neither
the pope nor the cardinals secretary
of state was to blame for the situa-
ton, which he described as "the in
tolerable condition created for the
holy see by the Methodists in Rome"
I'm the case of Colonel Roosevelt,
as of Mr.. Fairbanks, it was not at all
q question of religion, but of the SELF
respect and dignity of the apostolic
see. Colonel Roosevelt could have
gone to any other Protestant church
in Rome, and even, as would have ap-
peared from reports, to the Metho-
dists, after his reception by the pope"

Ex.Plesident Desired Freedom Of
Conduct While in Rome. y

Rome, April 5.-The audience which
It was believed former President
Roosevelt would have with the pope
did not take place, owing to. condi-
lions which the Vatican imposed and
which Mr.. Roosevelt refused to accept.
The communications regarding the
proposed meeting, which have just
been made public, are, briefly, as fol.
lows: Pc.
From Gondakoro Mr.. Roosevelt
wrote to J. G. A. Leishman, United
States ambassador to Italy, saying
that he would be glad Of an audience
with King Victor Emmanuel and Pope
Plus. King Victor Emmanuel at once
granted the audience, but the pope
did not.
Mgr. Kennedy, rector Of the Ameri-
can Catholic college, finally said the
pope would be delighted to grant Mr..
Roosevelt audience April s, adding,
"and hopes that nothing will arise to
prevent it such as the much regretted
incident which made the reception Of
Mr. Fairbanks impossible"
In view of the fact that Mr. Roose
velt's other engagements in Rome
were limited to the audience with the
king of Italy and a dinner given in his
honor by the municipality he declined
to make any stipulations or submit to
any conditions which would in any
way limit his freedom of conduct.
Mgr. Kennedy again notified Ambas-
sador Leishman that the original con-
ditions were insisted upon.
Mr.. Roosevelt then notified Mr.:
Leishman that the proposed presenta-
ton could not take place. To the Out
look he wired:
II am sure that the great majority
of my fellow citizens will feel that l
acted in the only way possible for an
American to act"

board, was wrecked by a misplaced
switch at South Oronge. N. j.. toady.
The big "humpback" engine was turn
cd turtle, three cars were demolished
and the rest were derailed.
A remarkable feature OF the accident
is that. only one person was seriously
injured, while two others were bruis-
ed.
After the crash, William Hoplett. of
Oreton, N. j.. the towerman at South
Orange, disappeared. One report had
It that he was DOING as the fast train
approached and failed to set the
switch properly. Another was that he
set the switch, but that the engineer
failed to observe the signal. Officials
of the Lackawanna railroad are in
vestigating these reports.
Fireman James Ferguson, Of Scran-
ton, Pa, was the only one badly hurt.
He was severely scalded. Engineer

In an attempt to make the tourist

This is the first line to the Pacific to
be equirred with the modern type of
tourist coaches and the innovation
has been brought about to enable the
line to operate the tourist trains on
the same sreed schedule as that ope-

The township trustees are now bust

ter acres OF corn. which are being cul.
tivated by members OF the Boys Corn
Club OF the county. Fifty members
of the club scoring the highest aver.
ages will go to the winter corn school
ut Purdue, with their entire expenses
paid by the county.
The trustees are measuring the
acreage OF corn. Forty percent Is CIV

number of bushels raised in 40 square
rods of territory. Thirty per cent is
made from the committees scoring
the ten ears sent In by each member
OF the club from his patch. Other
scorings are. twenty per cent. from
the committees visit to the patch dur
ing the season. and ten per cent. on
the neatness Of the record kept by the
member Of his crop.

recent inspection the difference be-
tween the boys corn which was care
fully attended during the summer and
no effort spared to make 1t the best
possible. and the fathers corn. which
had been cultivated In the fashion
used by the farmers In the last fifty
years. was greatly In favor Of the
younger farmer.
The older farmers ara beginning to
take advice from their sons as to the
scientific culture OF corn. which is
found to be highly successful.
Boys on the farm, by the scientific
methods now being taught, are shown
the advantages OF staying on the farm.
