buttons to political oratory.
Probably the most notable. without
disparagement to the fame Of others.

Condition of tuberculosis

VIII be investigated by the sub-commit-
tee on municipal affairs Of the House

today that he would again confer with
him this afternoon. Congressman DYER
Is certain that the investigation will be

At the same time that investigation

the investigation.
Neither Congressman Dyer Eor Cen

to say that the charges made are or

Minimum Wage Only
Way to Protect Miner,
Organizer Declares

LONDON, March 11.-"Under pres
Cnt conditions. miners are the vic
Tins Of favoritism. bribery and per-
seCutiOn," according to Edward
Black. organizer Of the Minimum
Wage League. Black today declared
that after five wears of investigation
he was convinced minimum wage
scale was necessary to protect the
workers. In explaining the conditions
which resulted in the strike of almost
1,nOO,0O0 men, Black said:
"The collier is paid on a tonnage
rate regulated by the market price
Of coal. On February 10 last, the SELL
ing price of coal was $3.7O Il ton and
the miners wages were fixed on that
basis. Who ~Cts the difference be
tween the $3.70 n ton and the $S.75 a
ton. which London consumers pay?
Good places to work in are secured
by faNOritism and bribery. one man
was driven out of a mine by the
owners because he protested through
the press against being forced to
work in an abnormal place where lie
was only able to earn $1.S5 a week.
"The men have protested against
these conditions without result. The
only way they can abolish favOTitism
and be assured living wages is to
iorce the adoption of minimum
wage scale"

J, r. Wells, of New Orleans, and
Warren l.. Rohr, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, called at Knight of Columbus
headquarters in the Woodward build
ing this morning to seek aid in making
reservations at local hotels for two
large parties that will come from these
cities to attend the unveilng Of the Co
lumbus memorial on June 8. Similar re-
quests for accommodations are coming
in daily. Apparently there will be large
delegations here from every part of
the country.
Much now appears to depend on the
attitude of the railroads on the. stop
over question. II stop-overs can be ar
ranged so that parties coming to Wash.
ington can remain i'm the East until
after tho Baltimore convention the
crowd>will be considerably augmented.
This matter Is entirely in the hands
of Edward l.. Hearn, past supreme
knight of the knights of Columbus, and

OF his efforts to obtain long stop-over
privileges until he arrives in Wash
ington Wednesday or Thursday. Mr..
Hearn is now in Chicago.

Of STEEL
DEBATE QUESTION,
WHAT IS AN EXPERT?
Republican Committeeman
Insist Guy M. Freer Is Not
Capable Witness.

The Stanley steel Investigating com
mittee resumed it's inquiry into the
Steel trust today, but much of the
hearing was consumed in wrangling
over the question what is an expert"
which was brought up when the COM
mittee sought to delve again into the
transportation question as it relates to
the steel industry.
Guy NJ. Freer, of Columbus, Ohio, a
commercial traffic manager, who makes
a specially. of traffic cases, was on the
witness stand, but he had considerable
difficulty in tesufying regarding the
ore rates in the Lake Superior region
because Republican members of the
committee insisted that Mr.. Freer had
not made a speciality of ore rates.
The witness qualified as a general ex-
pert on transportation questions. Con-
gressmen Gardner Young, and Dan
forth appealed from the decision of the
chair, however, when Mr.. Stanley. want
ed to know IL Freer regarded an S0-cen:
per rate on ore from Lake Superior
point to Duluth was reasonable" .
Chairman Stanley was upheld by the
committee on 8 party vote of to 4,
and Mr.. FrCer was permitted to an
swer that he thought the rate ''un-
rea sonable."
d. A. Reed. counsel for the steel
corpora ton, also entered an objection to
Freer'S testimony as the witness said
that he had never personally investi-
gated the operation of the Duluth,
Mssabe, and Northern and the Duluth
and Iron Range railroads, which are
steel trust subsidiaries.
MI Freer estimated from the figures
furnished by the Interstate Commerce
Commission that it costs the Steel
trust subsidiaries Only "a cents per to1
to transport the ore which has hereto
fore been haulel under an S0-cent rate.
The rate recently was reduced to 60
cents per ton.

DOCTOR IN EVENING
GARB ROWS A MILES
TO REACH HIS POST
Surgeon Carr Braves Cold
in Boat From Alexandria
to Fort Washington.

Attired i'm silk hat and evening clothes,
with the temperature at % Degrees DR..
William p. Carr, jr., U. s. A., son of
the prominent surgeon of this city and
we'll known as an athlete and society
man, caused considerable comment
among rivermen and his army associates
by rowing on the Potomac river from
Alexandria, Va, to Fort Washington,
on the M9 and side, shortly after 4
o'clock yesterday morning.
The strange sight of the young army
officer in his full dress clothes pulling
for the Maryland shore, distance of
four lies, caused crowd of dockmen
and oystermen in the vicinity of Alex
andria to gather and give him an
ovation.
dent physician at the Emergency Hos
pital, in this city, had come to wash
ington earlier in the evening to attend
the performance of the Kirmess, the
society carnival which was given at the
Willard for charity. According to the
rules of the army, he had to be at Fort
Washington, where he is stationed, at
o'clock to take sick CALL
When he missed the midnight boat
which leaves this city for the army post
he returned to the carnival and studied
how he'could reach the fort at the re-
quired time. 1t was shortly after
o'clock when DR.. Carr left the front OF
the New Willard in a taXicab. He ar
rived in Alexandria a little while later,
of the boatmen who were present di-
vested himself of his overcoat and
started the journey in his evening
clothes.

British Miners and
Operators Now Show
Signs of Weakening

LONDON, March I.-With thousands
OF factories throughout the United
Kingdom failing to open their doors
today because Of lack of fuel to operate
the machinery, final attempt was be-
gun to settle the strike. There were
signs of weakening on both sides The
miners committee, 1t is said, was far
from being unit in its demands, while
the South Wales operators, heretofore
adamant against the minimum scale
proposition, are today quoted as being
willing that it should be made a part
of settlement agreement.
Another joint conference will be held
tomorrow. At that time Premier AS
duith believes both sides can get to-
gether. If they do, then the men will
be ordered back to work not later than
Friday. Should a settlement not be
reached 1t is believed the government
Will have the minimum wage scale bill
existence Of which it has been deemed
policy for Premier Asquith to deny
introduced In parliament not later than
Thursday. But the premier, it was
plain today, did not expect this would
lie necessary. He ntimated that there
was far better than an even chance
that the strike will end this week
The coal strike may prove a blessing
nn disguise If it is finally settled this
week. 1t will make impossible any
other general labor troubles for at least
a year to come. Because of the general
shutting down of other industries, as a
result of lack Of fuel, the big unions
have been compelled to dip sparingIy
into their funds to help their members.
, Consequently the cash on hand is such
that 1t would be impossible to conduct
successful strike at the present time.
This is especially so in the case of the
railroad and engineers unions, which
have been INCLINED for some time past
to threaten trouble.

PruSSian Coal
Strike On; Complete
Tie-up Is Expected

BERLIN, March 1.-The coal strike
is on. Advices received from every
section of the Prusslan coal fields say
that the men are obeying the order to
quit work even better than their lead
ers anticipated. The entire field will be
completely be paralYZed within forty
eight hours. The men are working
out their final day to the last second.
Then, after storing their tools and ap-
pliances, they are leaving the vicinity
Of the mines for their homes.
The strike leaders for a week have
been impressing on their followers the
necessity of obeying the law. 1t is
pointed out that the force of police
and military on duty has been more
than doubled and that the orders have
been given that, in case of trouble, the
union officials are to be arrested in the
expectation that, finding themselves
leaderless the men will go back to work.
To avoid this all of the miners have
been asked to keep away from the
mines.
In the, strike notices the leaders point
out that nOn-union miners lack expert
ence, and II they are allowed to work
unmOlested they will soon demonstrate

they approve the demands for increased
wages and better working conditions.
Eighty district meetings were hell
yesterday, and the 10000 miners at
tending voted unanimously ior strike.
They agreed to abstah. from liquor
and remain orderly. Mounted police

only required the filing of a protest

Fletcher did not originate at rival
colleges, as stated in the communica-
tons sent out from the university, but
within their own ranks, and he was
first declared ineligible at home. Fur
thermore, the matter was not re-
served to be pulled off just before the
big annual clash but the university
had been given notice by Dr. Dudley
not to play him in the Texas game, the
Alabama game and the game at Men,
phis against the Tennessee Medical
College. The Fletcher matter has been
brewing since the beginning Of the
present session and the university was
not taken unawares. If the university
bolts from the S. /. A. A. it will be
bad, but they should not lay the blame
at the doors of her sister college.

To TRY CALIFORNIAN
FOR LYNN MUIR qER

Salem, Mass, Nov, 29-With the
conclusion OF the ttor-Giovannitti
trial, the ESSEX county authorities are
preparing for another trial that prom
ises to attract wide attention. The
case to be tried is that of William A.
Dorr, of Stockton, Cal, who is to an
swer for the alleged murder of George
b. Marsh, an aged and wealthy resi-
dent of Lynn.
On the morning Of April II last the
dead body Of Mr.. Marsh was found by
the roadside in the section known as

the Lynn marches, a large part of
which is swept by the sea at high tide.
The evidence showed that the man had
been shot to death and his body prob
ably conveyed by automobile to the
spot where it was found.
For more than a week the police
were at an utter loss for a clue to the
murderer. So far as known the slain
man had no enemies, while the fact
that his watch and money were found
on his person showed conclusiyely
that robbery was not the motive for
the crime
A search of the personal papers of
the dead man furnished information
that led to DORIS arrest in Stockton
about two weeks after the murder
The papers showed that Mr.. Marsh
was the executor of an estate of which
la woman relative in Stockton was the
beneficiary. Dorr the suspected muir
derer, was the womans prospective
heir. In the ordinary course of events
the estate would have been finally set
tied within four years. The police
theory is that Dorr committed the
murder in the belief that the death
of Marsh would result in an immediate
settlement
The police located an abandoned
automobile which had been hired at a
Lynn garage on the day OF the muir
der 10y man answering DORIS descrip-
ton. Under the seat Of the automo-
bile was found the shotgun with which
the crime had been committed Rela.
tiyes and neighbors Of Mr.. Marsh are
said to have identified Dorr as a man
who had been seen in conference with
him several times Immediately proceed
ing the murder
When found in Stockton, Esrr is said
to have been wearing a disguise. He
collapsed completely after his arrest
and it was feared that he might not
survive the journey across the cont
nent. He has completely recovered
however, during his confinement in
Jail re. He has a strong appetite
and appears in good spirits.
