100000 MEN WALK
OUT Of COAL MINES
Two-Thirds of BituminouS Supply
of the United States Threat
ened in the Struggle.
SUSPENSION FOR SHORT TIME 2
Trouble Is Not Called a Strike and
Hope Is Expressed That It
Will Be Soon Over.

Two hundred and seventy thousand
mine workers, producing more than
two-thirds of the total output of btu
minous coal in the United States, laid
down their tools the other night for an
indefints period From various sec
tons of the country optimistic reports
were received that the suspension
would be of short duration and that
the supply of coal above ground, with
the output of nonunion mines, would
be sufficient to keep the wheels of in
dustry moving until new wage con-
tracts were negotiated. Neither the
coal operators nor the United Mine
Workers admit that the trouble
amounts to a strike. They prefer to
term it suspension" but whatever
name 1t goes under the production of
coal has stopped in the districts affect
ed ard no one is able to say when it
will be resumed.
The total bituminous coal production
in the United States in 1907, which
was the banner year. was 1894 ,759, 112
short tons. In 1908 the production,
due to the trade depression. fell off
about 60,OO0.e00 tons, but last year it
increased to close to the 1907 total.
The i reduction of anthracite amounts
to approximately S0,000,000 tons
year.
In the eleven States affected by the
suspension, the shutdown is complete
in all except Pennsylvania In the la
ter State only the Pittsburg district,
employing bout $4,000 men and pro-
ducing about $4,000. 900 tons, is 'involv-
ed. In central Pennsylvania a major
ity of the mines are not organized, and
as the nonunion mines have posted
notices of an increase in wages, it is
said no effort will be made by the I'M
ion TO have them shut down. Internal
strife among the United Mine Work
els may prolong the suspension beyond
present indications, according to those
who are familiar with conditions.

Girls Jump From Windows.

Eighteen girls were injured. several
seriously, in fire in the Central Steam
Laundry at Chicago, III. Seven gir7'
jumped from windows and others were
injured in an explosion. -Four are in a
serious condition at a hospital. The
panic was caused by the bursting of a
steam pipe in the mangle room on the
second floor When the clouds CT steam
burst into the room the girls became
panic stricken and seven of them
jumped from the second floor window.
Too high pressure is believed to have
been the cause of the bursting of the
pipe. More than two hundred girls
were working on the second and third
floors. A rush was made for the win
dows and exits and several were slight
ly injured in the scramble. The major
ity of the girls injured are not 20 years
old.

Hams Still DRAWING Paw

Although Captain p. c. Hams. who
killed William E. Annis, is serving a
sentence in a New York prison, he is
still drawing pay from the government
as commanding officer of the Thirtieth
Company, Coast Artillery, at Seattle
Wash. About the time Captain Hams
shot and killed Annis, in New York, he
WIS assigned by the War Department
to the company at Ft. Worden, but has
never reported at the post. According
TO army officers, the fact that Captain
Hams was not tried and convicted by
a military. court and that his crime was
not of military nature, leaves the
military authorities at a loss how 20
proceed in the case. The chief of the
Coast Artillery is anxious to have Cap
tain Hams place filed, as he is not
available for duty. and the matter will
be taken up with President Taft with
a request that he appoint some one in
Captain Hams place.

PROGRESS OF sAYLER TRIAL.
Much Interest Is Excited by Murder
Case in Watseka, III.

The long work of securing the jury
liz the famous murder case of DR..
W. R. Miller and Mrs. Lucy Sayler
having ended in Watseka, H., the bat
tie CT the lawyers and the taking of
testimony is we'll under way. No MUIR
der OF recent years has attracted more
attention through the middle West
tran when DR.. Miller killed John By
lol Sayler, banker of Crescent City,
ILL.,, July II, 1909 The defense is
claiming that DR.. Miller was attacked
by the banker, while the state asks
the death penalty and hopes to prove
that DR.. Miller and Mrs. Sayler plot
ted to do away with the banker The
state is using the evidence of Erring-
ton Miller, 13-year-old son of the ply
stefan, and Coda Sayler, the daugh-
ter OF Mrs. Sayler, against the prison
ers. The defense is we'll armed with
money and has secured the best legal
talent in Illinois The states attorney
declares he will convince the jury that
D1. Miller was in love with Mrs Say
Ter and that she assisted him in doing
away with her husband. The death
penalty is sought for the man and
woman on trial.
John c. Grunden is Mrs. Sayler's
father, and his connection with the
tragedy has been strengthened by
much testimony tending to show that
he carried an automatic revolver of
the same kind and caliber as that
which DR.. Miller is reported to have
used in the Staying of Byron Sayler
Mrs. Myrtle Green, sister of the dead
banker, positively identified the bloody
shirt worn by Grunden on the night
o. the tragedy. She also identified the
bloody shirtwaist worn by Mrs Say
lei on that night and particularly
pointed out the blood stains which are
purported to have been caused by her
effort to hold Sayler to the floor dur
ing the melee.
The testimony of Mrs. Green was
rorroborated in the main by her SIS

of the two sisters of the deceased

Alexander j. Moody, the wealthy
Chicago pie man, whose death on Feb

poisoning, really died from the effect
of arsenic, was the startling assertion
made by Coroner Hoffman. That the
poison was contained in hamburger
steak eaten by the decedent seems
clear to the authorities. Moody inner
tied fortune from his father, who
was the founder of the PIE firm of
Moody & Waters. Moody occupied a
fine residence in the city and owned
summer residence in Wisconsin and
farm in st. Charles. The remaining
portion of the steak was taken to DR..

In report to the coroner, stated the
meat contained enough arsenic to have
killed half a dozen persons. The kid

showed pronounced traces of poison.

ROOSEVELT NOT TO SEE POPE.
Declines to Accept Supposed Limit
on Actions While in Rome.

Former President Roosevelt of the
United States has declined an invita-
ton to visit the Pope in Rome, through
exactly the same causes which forced
the Pope not to receive former Vice
President Fairbanks-the question of
preference over the American Metho-
dist mission there
Negotiations had been opened
through Ambassador Leishman for the
contemplated visit of Colonel Roose-
Welt. The latter explained himself as
anxious TO see the Pope. The Pope in
reply said he hoped that no such I'M
pleasant incident Jas that which married
the visit of Mr. Fairbanks to the city
would occur. Mr. Fairbanks declined
to visit the Vatican before seeing the
Methodists.
Colonel Roosevelt replied that he
could not visit the Vatican under such
conditions, and when he got a reply
saying that it would be impossible 10
lift the restrictions Roosevelt cabled
saying that the visit was impossible
The affair created tremendous SEN
sation in Rome. II is learned that
Colonel Roosevelt had made no ar
rangements whatever to visit the Meth
Odists there The only audience which
he had arranged was with the King.

CHURCH MERGER IS UPHELD.
Union of Cumberland and Presby-
terrain Sanctioned by Court.

The Indiana Supreme Court has
affirmed the case of James W. Ram.
sey and others against Joseph P.
Hicks and others, appealed from Van.
derburg County. This is the fasnols
Presbyterian and Cumberland Presby-
terrain Church merger case. The two
branches of the Presbyterian Church
merged in 1906. The members of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church at
Washington, Ind, were not agreed on
the question of merger, ole part wish
ing to combine and the other faction
wishing to remain under the old Cum
berland Presbyterian faith and govern
ment. They took their troubles into
court, and the lower court held that
the merged church had right to the
property of the congregation.
The courts decision holds the gen.
eral assembly of the Cumberland
church had authority to state the
faith of the church. The court says
in relation to the claim that the mer-
ger means death of the Cumberland
church, every congregation, presbytery
or synod of the church, with possibly
some changes of constituent member
ship and geographical boundaries, will
continue its existence and accustomed
work without interruption.
