.FREACHMAN PREDICTS
 BLOODY WORLD WAR
THE UNITED STATES 4 PARTY
 TO IT.
Is Destined to Be on the Losing

Paris. March 31.-Another predic . tion of sanguinary world war is made in the Memoirs" of Admiral Fournier. commander of the French Mediterranean fleet, published today. The United States and Japan will precipitate it, he asserts. The fey erish haste of the mikados empire to increase it's armaments is due to the fear of an alliance of the United States and China, which would break Japan's power in the far east
 Great Britain, the admiral asserts. will join forces with Japan. and in the event of d coalition of the United States with the Triple Alliance France would be forced to support Japan and England. while the kaiser would reinforce America.
 Without the intervention of the navies of the Triple Alliance" he adds. "a decisive victory would rest on the arms of Japan and Great Britain
 Realizing such prospect. Fournier believes the United States will re- sist a temptation to settle it's differ enccs with Japan by an appeal to arms.

IMR. ROOTS ARGUMENT
As to the Clause Relating to Traffic Agreements, He Says It Is Proposed to Fix the Law So That Roads Can Observe It.

Washington. March Sl- senator Root consumed three hours in Con tinuing his speech in defense of the. railroad bin before the senate. Again he failed to conclude H.. de- tended the merger provision of the bill as great advance over the ex- istins law. as it made the purchase of one company's stock by another an offense while he argued that such acquisition was not now illegal ex- cept as a part of-a conspiracy
 He also supported the traffic agree ment section. but expressed q will ingness to require such agreements to be dependent on the approval of the inter state commerce commis- sion
 Mir. Root emphasized the provision permitting traffic agreements as of special importance. He declared that the present prohibitive act provoked it's own violation. This course was most demoralizing. and should not be encouraged by failing to put it in to the power of the railroads to observe the law and still make agreements
 Tt is better to have the railroads
 
 to be forced to do so.' he said.
 We insist upon competition" he continued, but we will prohibit such competition as We think injurious" " There was further discussion of the proposed amendment of the en- ployers' liability law but the senate took no action upon it.
 The naval appropriation bill pend ing in the house offered an oppor- tunity to members to discuss various subjects
 Mir. Padgett of Tennessee and MT Gregg of Texas. minority members of the house naval committee. each de- livered a speech in favor of policy of one battleship a year
 Objections being made to an in- crease by the senate to the extent of s25.000. of the appropriation under the state department may encourage trade relations. the diplomatic bill was sent back to conference by the house after all amendments except that one had been agreed to.
 Both houses will be in session to- morrow

GOAL MINES
 SHUT DOWN A Walk Out Last Night of 300,000 Men
 MERELY 4 SUSPENSION But May Last for Months The Mine Workers Off cers Taking a Cheerful View-Believe That the Operators Will Yield.
MERELY 4 SUSPENSION

Indianapolis. April l.-Three hundred thousand miners of the bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indi- ana. Illinois. Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, and oklahoma. quit work at midnight pending q settlement of the new wage scale. Officers of the United Mine Workers declare that it is Walk-out and not a strike, merely a suspension because no wage scale has been adopt ed to replace the one which expired on March 31.
 The miners demand an increase of from to 10 ceQts u ton and changes in working conditions. The operators express confidence that there will be no long suspension or coal famines as a result of the walk-nut.
 While the miners predict an early adoption of a new scale. some of the operators declare that the mines will he closed from month to sixty days. and maybe longer.
 The first settlement announced is at Brazil. Ind. where scent increase is granted Seventy-five thousand are out in Illinois. lS.000 in Indiana and loo. .000 in Pennsylvania. 5000 in Colo rado and 35.000 in Missouri. Kansas. Oklahomaand Arkansas. The miners have s400,000 to carry on the fight.
 The ohio miners are all out. The LOrain steel plant was forced to close on account of a shortage of coal; 4.O00 men are out. Both the operators and men predict long and bitter fight in the southwestern field. Efforts are be ing made to induce the engineers and pump men to go out. The operators claim that they cannot grant increases on account of the competition of non union mines.
 Reviewing the situation, President national executive board adjourned to- night we felt that the prospect was very satisfactory for the miners. In many districts it is now only Ques- ton of the miners and operators sit ting down together and talking busi- ness.
 In eastern Ohio. where we expected strong opposition. it is reported that three of the largest companies are ready to sign the contract formulated at the recent meeting in CinciSnati.
 In Indiana and ths Hooking district in ohio. we will reach settlement next week Probably there will be more difficulty in western Pennsyl- vania. where powder and shot firers' wage questions arc involved.

,. Tucson. March 3l-Papago hunters returning from the coast country of Lower Califor- nia report the discovery ct a trunkless skeleton of man in small boat which was beaChe.l on the sand in the Gulf oi California. There were no clothes. ar other means of iden- tification. It is supposed Co b" the body of prospector or scientist exploring the gulf coast. but the theory is that the man came to his death at the hands of the fierce Seri in- dians. reputed to be cannibEls, .. n Tiburon Island.
 The boat was evidently pull
 ed up on the beach by human
 hands as it was right side up
 with ,he skeleton bleaching in tropical sun, lying as if the
 body had been hacked and be- headed. and left in the boat.
 All efforts to learn the iden- tity of the man here were un- availing. Several scientists as
 well as prospcctors had gone t1
 the coast country, but none are
 reported missing.
 The party on the return trip discovered inland the body of another unknown man haI
 eaten by wild animals He had evidently lain down. and died on the road, A black cCat and a dark shirt hanging in q tree nearby furnished the only clew
 to his identity.
