ROOSEVELT ASKED
 TO ARBITRATE

Pittsburg, September 1.-The legal and industrial entanglements of the miners and operators in the Irwin and West moreand fields will be submitted to Theo- dore Roosevelt when he visits this city on September 10. This was announced by District President Francis Fehan of the United Mine Workers of America, today, after he had been arrested, with five other local officers, in connection with the actions brought yesterday in the county courts against S7 miners and off, cials by seven operating companies in the affected districts.
 Fehan further said that when Roose- welt visited the anthracite fields recently he was requested to investigate the trou- ble in the Westmoreland field, and now t is hoped he would be instrumental in restoring peace. Those arrested today are under s2100 bonds.
 Three hundred and thirty-ive out of 400 workmen in the mines of the West moreland Coal company, one of the plain tiffs, are reported to have left their work today when they learned of the suits be- ing brought. For several weeks this mine has been running at full capacity.
 The extent of the litigation Is viewed with much anxiety in industrial circles here, because of the persistency of both sides. In a statement today Fehan as- serted that the miners had been misrep- resented in their attitude, while Attorney Richard B. Scandrett, counsel for the plaintiff companies, announced that the actions were not to be construed as at tacks upon the right of workingmen to organize, but we charge that operators in the Pittsburg district have contribu- ted support to the maintenance of the strike and paid to have organizers in the field that the strike might be pro- longed'' Other suits will be brought against certain operators, according to Scandrett, that will reveal a sensational plot.

SHERMAN HINTS AT
 FUTURE DISASTER

Enid, Okla, September Lit was a
 straight od-fashioned republican talk
 that Vice President Sherman tonight
 gave to an immense crowd gathered in
 front of the courthouse. Party argu-
 nents were hurled at the listeners, who
 were assured that republicanism and
 prosperity were synonymous.
 The democratic party, declared MT.
 Sherman, spelled disaster, and he invited
 the voters who desired hard times to
 bring about a return of the rival organi-
 zation to power.
 The Payne-Aldrich tariff bill, said the vice president, represented one fulfilled
 pledge of the republicans. He declared that the reductions made were all on
 the necessities of life, while the things
 that were increased were champagne, silks and other luxuries.
 Prices. he admitted, had advanced, but | he asked:
 Do you want the price of things you produce lowered?'
 Higher wages and increased earning
 power on the part of professional men and others, he said, made it easy to pay | the increased cost of living. He repeated his statement of yesterday that he did not wish to drive any true republican out of the party. Every true party member he declared, was pro- gressve," for the republican party was the party of progress. "Hurrah for Teddy shouted a man in the gathering. MT. sherman went right on with his talk.
 Former Congressman J. E. Watson, who followed MT. Sherman, told at length of the promises which the republican party had made and kept and entered l Into an analysis of the tariff bill | 'I don't care what we call ourselves | standpatters, regulars, insurgents oI progressves, exclaimed Mir. Watson, "when you scratch the surface you will | find a rock-ribbed protective repul lican.

 Philip Carr remarried to the wife he lost in the turmoil of the civil war, nearly half century ago. is enjoying with her his second honeymoon. They were reunited in wedlock a few days since, but it was only yesterday that the facts became known of their life history.

 Carr Is now "A years old and his wife 68.

 Some time later she remarked and went to live in the east.
 When Carr returned from the war his bride was missing and he learned of the divorce. Sung to the quick, he too married another. Many years later her second husband and his second wife died. Recently he returned to the scenes of his boyhood and here he met "the girl he left behin dhim" in 62. He explained how the malls had been raided and the letters written with the stub of pencil in the trenches often stolen with his slender savings from his soldiers pay of $1s a month and he told of how, when her letters stopped. he, too, believed that he had been deserted.
