LEWIS ONLY TOLD
 WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
In Case of Strike in Central Com
 petitive Coal District.

Cincinnati. March 12.-"The miners are not talking of strike. and don't want d strike. But if a strike must follow a failure by the joint con ference of miners and operators to agree upon a new wage scale. 600.000 men of every industry dependent upon coal will be affected"
 This was the explanation offered tonight by T. l.. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers of America, of a statement credited to him earlier in the day. to the effect that a strike was sure to follow refusal by the coal mine operators of the central competitive district to meet the de- mands of the men.
 Mr. Lewis declared that his re- marks had been misconstrued. and that there was little foundation for the previous report

RAILROAD BILL CHANGED.
Provides for Valuation of Roads Con
 tempIating Consultation.

Washington. March 1.-The ad- ministration railroad bill was amend ed today by the house committee on interstate commerce so as to make the commercial market valuation of railroad properties by the interstate commerce commission condition precedent to the merging. consolida- tiOn and organization of roads sub ject to the interstate commerce law.
 This change. one of the most drastic yet made. opens the doors only to the valuation of properties whose merger is contemplated. The committee has not by its action endorsed the various schemes for physical valuation of all railroad properties in accordance with many bills introduced in both houses. The amendment imposes a handicap only on such consultations as the Hartman merger.
 MT. Washburne of Massachusetts offered an amendment providing that the interstate commerce commission shall supervise the issue of stocks and bonds, and fix the price at which they shall be offered for sale. It was not acted upon.

Pepper Was Hot When Ac- cused of "Trifling" With Committee While Cues
 tioning A. P. Davis as to Ballinger's Misstatements

Washington, D. c, March PA sharp clash occurred between Senator Nelson. chairman of the BaIlinger- Pinchot committee, and Attorney Pepper, [counsel for Clifford PinchOt. near the close of today's session of the inquiry. when MT Nelson ac- cused the lawyer of' "trining" with the committee
 White with anger. Pepper demand ed to know if that was the Judgment Of the committee. and when several members exclaimed: Let it pass" he said that a reflection which he re- scented had been cast upon him and he questioned the senator's right to make such an accusation.
 Pepper was referring to several let ters in the record in an endeavOr to have Chief Engineer Davis of the reclamation service, who was on the stand. refute several statements at trihuted to Secretary Ballinger to the effect that the restoration Of certain lands in the west to public entry after they had been withdrawn by MT. Garfield. had been made on the recommendations of the reclama- tiOn service
 Chairman Nelson thought it was a waste of time to go over the ground already covered and objected to the reading of the letters. In each in stance in which d question was put to the witness he replied that Bal finger had made a misstatement. Now 1 have come to the point I was after" said Attorney Pepper
 The SO-called Black Tent affair figured cOnspicuOusly in Davis testi- mony. He said that E. T. Perkins, a service at Chicago. went through the west featuring in a black tent to ad- vertise reclamation work under the orders of Secretary Ballinger. Of ficials of the service were subse- quently informed. he said, that Per kins was getting an allowance of $500 a month from the Hartman railway lines. in addition to s3,3O0 salary.
 Davis said that Perkins proved his fidelity to the Hartman lines by shipping fifty-nine per cent of the material from Chicago to New MeXi- co, California and Arizona, where the reclamation service had been engaged in projects by way of their lines. which made the longest and most eX- penSive route.
 The committee will be in session next Friday and Saturday. It is eN- pected that Director Newell of the reclamation service will be called as the next witness.

PRESIDENTS
 DECLARATION Of Proposal To Intervene In
 Philadelphia Strike 4 PURELY LOCAL AFFAIR A Prediction That the Gen eral Strike Will Begin to Break Tomorrow - The Unions Think Their Men Will Hold Together.
4 PURELY LOCAL AFFAIR

Philadelphia. March 12-Two of the four mediums through which Philadelphia hoped that a strike set tlement would be reached today were practically eliminated
 Yesterday it was hoped that either the president. the bankers of Phila- delphia, the national civic federation or the local councilmanic bodies would find a way to lend hand to stop the strife. Today word came from Washington, unofficially, but seeming on good authority. that the president, through the department of commerce and labor. could not see a way clear to intervene. The reason given was that the trouble was pure ly of q local character. The bankers declared that the financial interests would probably keep their hands off.
 Whether the national civic federa- ton will take up the strike settle .ment or whether the councilmen can be forced to take action, remains to be seen. Another telegram was sent today to Seth Low. the head Of the federation. asking that body to offer mediation. MT. Low replied that the federation would do so if assured that the offer would be acceptable to both sides.
 There was no change today in the gei.eral strike situation. Employers predict that Monday will see the beginning of general break among the. sympathetic strikers. Dozens or unions held meetings today and to- night. tO lay plans to hold the men together.
 big department stores have gone on strike and seriously curtailed the sup ply of bread.
 It was noticed today that the po- lice refrained from using their clubs in dispersing crowds.

MRS. TAFT'S BROIHtRIN-LAW
 DIES SUICIDES DEATH.
THOMAS lAUGHlIN USES A RE.
 vOlVER.
Desperate Efforts of Family to Con
 ceal the Deed.

Pittsburg. March 12-It was sui eide by shooting that caused the death of Thomas Laughlin. brother in-law Of Mrs. Taft. wife of the president. A confirmation of many rumors was given by Coroner Jami- son, after d visit to Laughlin's home today.
 While Laughlin was reported to have died at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, the coroner did not receive official news of it until 1 o'clock to- day, when the physician's certificate of death was returned. This as signed the cause as ceerbral apo plexy, by Dr. McKinnon. Persistent calls for information caused an in vestigation, after which the coroner said the physician's return was tech nically correct. although cerebral hemorrhages had been announced by bulletin.
 Efforts had been made to conceal the fact that Laughlin had ended his own life It was not intended that even the president or any members of the family beyond George Laugh lin, a brother, and the widow, should know the actual cause. All traces Of the wound are said to have been removed from the body in embalming. The rumOrs of suicide are thought to have been spread through the framily servants.
 The death of his father. Major Laughlin, several months ago, deeply affected Laughlin, who was Of nervous temperament He traveled much previous to his death in the hope that his health might be bene fitted. Upon his return from Europe, on Sunday night. Laughlins health and spirits seemed improved. Laugh lin's wealth is estimated at s20,- 900.
 The shock to Mrs. Laughlin has prostrated her. The funeral will take place tomorrow at p. m. The president is on his way to attend. although Mrs. Taft is reported too i'll to leave Washington.

 IT ALL DEPENDS ON WRIGHTS' SUIT.

New York. March 12-Ameri- ca stands to lose the information al aviation meet for the Gordon Bennett trophy. won last summer by Curtiss, if the Wrights' win their suit now pending against Paulhan, the French aviator. Cortland Bishop. president of the Aero Club of America, under whose auspices the meet is scheduled. said today that all foreign aviators of note assured him that they would not sign contracts to appear in this cOun- try until the suit against Paul. han is decided.
 If Paulhan wins they will be glad to compete. If he loses. they don't care to place themselves in the jurisdiction of the Ameri- can courts.
 Thus far, Los Angeles. Denver. Baltimore. Washington. Chicago. Indianapolis and St Louis have been active bidders and each has guaranteed $1OO.0O0 demanded by the club. Bishop is of the opin- ion, however. that the meet will be held somewhere in the vicini- ty of New York. His opinion is based upon the reasoning that the meet in that vicinity would attract a larger multitude than at any of the places contesting for the location and that more over it would attract q large number of Europeans who would not undertake long journey in- to the interior of the country or across it.
