OXNARD INTERESTED IN
PROPOSED COAST ROAD
Board of Trade to Confer with Los
Angeles Bodies Relative to
Improvement

OXNARD, Feb. 4.-The OXnard board
of trade is considering the advisability
of appointing a committee to visit Los
Angeles to confer with the proper
bodies on the question Of the proposed
highway along the coast from Santa
Monica. Now that the matter of this
proposed sea level road is an issue be-
fore the Los Angeles supervisors the
matter is receiving considerable atten-
ton in this city.
A main coast road of this kind would
put Oxnard on the direct line of travel
from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara
and points beyond. 1t is estimated
that about twelve miles of roadway
would have to be built in Ventura
county along the beach. From the
point at the mountain there would be
several miles of road necessary to con-
meet with present roads, which would
need attention. It has also been sug-
gested that a private corporation take
hold of the roadway and put in toll
road similar to the proposed toll road
between Ventura and Santa Barbara.

MARRYING COUNT IS
THROTTLED BY WIFE
DR.. Miller Stands Siege in Jail at Jer-
sey by Small Army of Women.
Twenty Gases of Bigamy
Are Awaiting Him

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.-Dr. Karl Emil
Miller, or Muller, the marrying count"
stood siege today in the Hudson county
Jail in Jersey City by a small army of
women who claim him as husband.
Miller was brought to Jersey City
yesterday from Los Angeles. He is
said to be so plentifully married that
trial for bigamy on some nineteen or
twenty counts probably awaits him.
He was safe behind the bars and
failed to display the nervousness he
not unnaturally had exhibited when
two women met him at the railroad
station on his arrival, and one of them
Miss Bertha Albrecht-throttled him
and created scene by her screams.
Miss Albrecht claims the count mere
ly as a suitor who when rejected
solaced himself with $500 of her money.
Miss Regina Verbelman declares the
count married her in 1908, and that
when he left her he took $3.50 of her
money.
Miller asserts he did not marry half
of the women who declare he is their
husband. He denies any acquaintance
with Miss Albrecht.

Bill to Appropriate $4,000 for
Shaft at Stroudsburg, Pa.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4--The soldier

lected as the presidents substitute.

WOMEN WIN FIGHT FOR
LOW STREET CAR STEPS
Chicago City Railway Company HaV-
ing New Coaches Constructed
Along Comfortable Lines

CHICAGO, Feb. 4.-Chicago women
have won their fight for lower street
car steps. Fifty new cars for the
City Railway company, now being
built at Philadelphia, it was an
nounced yesterday, will be constructed
so the platforms will be at least an
inch and a half lower than the pres
ent platforms.
Cars which are being reconstructed
will be made to meet the new specifi-
cations, and all new cars will have
their platforms lowered as they go to
the car shops for repairs.
Under the new specifications, Chica-
go street car steps will be lower than
in any other large city in the country
where the standard set by the Amer
ican Association of Street and Inter-

DEADLOCK ENDS
MINERS MEETING
COAL OPERATORS AND TOLL
ERS FAIL TO AGREE
CONFERENCE ADJOURNED SINE
DIE AT TOLEDO
Failure to Admit Delegates from llli-
nois Causes Breach-Big Strike
May Be Averted Despite
lnsistence

TOLEDO, O., Feb. 4.-Unable to eff
feet an organization because of the
deadlock on the admission of miner
delegates from Illinois, the joint wage
conference of the bituminous coal
operators and miners of Ohio, Indiana
and western Pennsylvania adjourned
tonight sine die.
No provision was made for another
meeting. An adjournment, it is de-
clared, does not mean necessarily a
suspension of work at the expiration
of the present contract April 1.
This would affect all bituminous dis
tricts controlled by the United Mine
Workers, as they decreed at their In
dianapolis convention that no district
should sign a wage scale until the
scales for all districts were negotiated.
Both sides have declared, however,
that they will not recede on the Il
linois proposition
Some plan may be worked out to get
the miners and operators together
again before April 1. 1t may be a call
for another convention or the selection
of a representative scale committee.
A meeting of the executive board of
the miners was called for tomorrow
morning.
The night session lasted only a short
time. AS no one had anything to say,
lne IutlIty VI continuing lHe SeSSIol
was expressed by President Lewis.
His suggestion for dividing the respon-
sibility for adjournment was followed.
A delegate from the miners moved to
adjourn and one from the operators
seconded it. A call by states resulted
in the only unanimous vote recorded in
the meeting today.
The deadlock was brought about by
a division on all points between the
miners and operators, voting by states.
The miners refused to agree to seating
delegates from other states unless the
Illinois miners were included.
The rules require a unanimous vote
on each proposition. The operators
stood firm on the ground that the IL
linois operators had notified both par
ties that they would not be bound by
any agreement reached here.

FEAR ALASKA STEAMSHIP
FARALL0N Is IN DANGER
Vessel Believed to Have Put to Sea
in Big Storm to Avoid the
Rocky Coast

SEATTLE, Feb. 4.-Fear for the
safety of the Alaska Steamship COM
pany's steamer Farallon is increasing.
Four weeks ago the Farallon left Port
Graham, Alaska, for ports to the west
ward and has not been heard from
since. The Farallon has a crew of
twenty-seNen officers and men, and
carried a few passengers.
The steamship Victoria was dis
patched from Valdez several days ago
to search for the Farallon, and was
expected to report at Seward Thursday
A special cable to the Post
Intelligencer from Seward says a big
storm is raging along the Alaska coast
and that the Victoria probably was
forced to put to sea to avoid the dan
gers of the rocky coast.

SENATOR SAYS FARMERS DO
NOT GET SHARE OF PROFITS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.--Declaring
the farmer to be the last person consid-
cred in any conflict in which the agri-
culturist is involved, Senator McCum-
Der of North Dakota today delivered a
speech in the senate to demonstrate
that the farmers were not receiving a
fair share of the high prices which food
products command.
He said bills such as had been pre-
sented in the house for the removal of
duties on farm articles were equivalent
to an effort to establish q legislative
boycott against the tiller of the soil.
Contrasting the prices received by the
farmer with those paid by the consum-
er, he said that a 4-year-old steer
which in North Dakota would bring $40
would sell for S2500 when retailed ta
senate restaurant steak prices-enough
to buy half a farm.
