WAGE BILL WILL PASS.
But an End to the British Strike Is
Not in Sight.

London, March 27.-The govern
ment minimum wage bill, whose OBJ
ject is to put a stop to the disastrous
coal miners strike, will be the law of
the land within "A hours. Thus far
the end of the strike and of the dis
tresS and suffering it is causing to a
million miners and two million other
workers and their families and de-
pendents throughout the country is not
in sight.
The miners federation met today
to discuss the situation and to consid-
er proposal submitting to the miners
the question of balloting whether the
minimum wage bills should be adopt
ed. The mine owners also conferred
but the result has not been made pub
lie. The cabinet hopes the miners Will
seize the excuse afforded by the en-
actment of the minimum wage bill
for returning to work. Even If this
hope should be realized it will be nee
eSsary to take measures to relleVe the
great distress and it is understood
the government already has decided
on an effective method of carrying
this out. The protection of the min
erS who resume work also must pc
provided for and it is thought this
would necessitate the calling out OF
the arm reserves
1t also is likely that the government
will establish a national wages board
with an independent chairman to con-
slider and determine on proposals for
the Introduction of the minimum daily
rates of $1.25 for men ana 0O cents
for BOYS on the understanding CnaI
with these two points settled all the
miners will return to work while ne
gotiations are proceeding for nxlng
minimum rates for other grades or
workmen Already troops are ready
to move in Wales and at any moment
their services may be required TO pro-
tect the miners at the Brynk1nalle col
liery, who have been working for sew
eral days and an attempt to interfere
with whom was made last night To-
day the miners connected with the col
lieries of the surrounding districts be-
gan to march in body toward Brynz
kinalle and they quickly were folloWeo
by police reserves.
Trouble also is feared in Scotland,
where many men already have re-
turned to the pits and others are anX-
ious to follow.
v. Hartshorn, the leader of the
Welsh miners, says the strike has now
only really begun and that the miners
are not going to work until they have
won.

Mother of Twenty Three Balks at the
Twenty Fourth.

New York, March 27.-Having given
birth to 23 children, Mrs. Agnes Ra-
cilta, wife of railway laborer, at
tempted suicide today by drinking a

PASS SUFFRAGE BILL
Michigan Senators Give 1t Almost a
Unanimous Vote.

Lansing, Mich, March 27.-With only
five votes registered against it, the reso-
luton providing for woman's suffrage has
passed the state senate. The resolution
required a two-thirds majority to carry.
1t obtained twenty-three Of twenty
eight votes. 1t is blieved to have an ex-
cellent chance of passing the house, as
a. the last regular session the same
resolution received a majority in the
house but lacked two votes of the neces-
sary two-thirds. In the intervening year
sentiment in favor of votes for women
has increased greatly
In case of it's success the amendment to
the constitution which must be voted on,
will be presented to the electorate at the
November election.

PRINT BALLOTS
Not a Concern in Chicago Is Equal to
Whole Task.

Chicago, March 27.-There is not a
printing company in the city which is
willing and able to print ballots for
the primary elections in Cook county
towns outside of Chicago.
Only one bid was received in re-
Spouse to advertisements and this one
asked to reduce the size of squares
for the marks on the ballot. The size
of these are fixed by law and hence
this lone bidder was disqualified.
It is probable contracts will be let
without receiving bids. The work will,
according to the plan, be done by four
different concerns. A different con-
Germ will print each of the Republi-
can, Democratic, Socialist and Prohi-
bition baIISts. The Democratic coun-
ty ballot will be five feet long.

Roosevelt Will
Start for Home
Monday Morning

Chicago Oct 19-How justice
should be meted out to cranks who
attempt the lives of prominent citi-
zens was voiced here today by Francis
j. Heney, famous graft prosecutor,
who was himself shot down in the
court room a few years ago while
prosecuting Abraham Ruef. Heney
had Just come from Commute visit
to the bedside Of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt, the victim Of a would-be
assassin's bullet
"The time has come" said IIeney,
"when the people must realize that
when a man shoots a prominent man
he should not be considered insane
Talk of insanity always is heard when
a prominent man is shot down,
"Thls man Schrank, as everyone
knows, had murder in his heart He
chose .3S calibre revolver with "A
frame-a gunman's gun, the hurest
made, and always used when a gun
man wants to make absolutely sure
Of his victim He choose a state, too
in which there is no capital punish
ment law
"There have been too many recent
cases in history Of the shooting of
public men, The only way to stop 1t
is to mete out the punishment a mur-
derer deserves"
Heney said he called to Roosevelts
attention the utterances of Governor
Wilson and the writings of Louis d.
Brandels, representing Roosevelt as
in favor Of legallzlng monopolies, The
colonel, Heney said called "such stuff
nonsense"
Colonel Roosevelt, Heney said glad
ly welcomed the notification that he
could start for home Monday. Turning
to Mrs. Roosevelt the colonel said
'Now, Edith, I'll be pretty good
while Pm at home so there Is no rea-
son to delay the start can't help
being impatient but I will do as you
say, and protest as little as possible" 1"

company the members Of the Roosevelt
family to oyster Bay.

and Commercial and the other at Lib

streams Of water were soon playing
on the flames, which proved very DIFF
ficult to reach on account of 1t being
in the ceiling and walls of the build
ing. AS soon as 1t was extinguished
in one quarter 1t would break out in
another It soon spread to the upper
part Of the building to the east, which
is occupied as living rooms by Oscar
Hodgkins and family. The proprle-
tors Of the saloon say that the fire
started at a point where the electric
wires enter the building at the rear,
and they believe that 1t originated
from this source as the gas plant
which furnishes part of the light had
been turned off some time before the
fire started, The fire department
worked over two hours before the

a heavy wind blowing at the time.

Steamer
J.J.Loggie
Is Ashore
Missed Her Bearings in a
Fog and BeaChed--WiII Be
a Total Loss Along With
Her Cargo of Lumber
[UNITrD PRESS LEASED WIRE. !

San Francisco, Oct. 19.-The steam
er j, j. Loggle, owned by the Mckay
Company, of this city, went ashore in
fog early today near Point Arguello,
and advices received here report her a
total loss, The crew reached shore in
safety.
The vessel was under charter to the
]. r. Hanify Company, carrying lum-
Der from Eureka to San Pedro.
Another steamer, the Canine, owned
by Swayne G. Hoyt, Of San Francis
co, is helpless at sea off Hecupa Head,
having lost her propeller. Tugs have
been sent to her relief.
Losing her way in the dense fog, the
Loggie drove heavily on the rocks and
later broke in two. Captain o. Sven
son, Of San Francisco, and his crew of
is men left the wreck in the small
boats, and made their way ashore One
Of the crew had a narrow escape from
drowning, but was resuscitated.
The Loggle was loaded to her full
capacity, carrying a valuable cargo of
100000 feet of lumber and shingles.
While the Canine was coming down
the coast the screw dropped off when
about 30 miles off Umpqua Immedl-
ately the 49, o. s." was flashed. These
wireless signals were picked up by
shore stations along the coasts of Ore
gon and Washington.
Leaving Portland Thursday, the
Canine was bar-bound until yesterday
afternoon, when she cleared from AS
toria. 1t was while leaving Astoria
that the GAMING ran into rough wealth
er and lost her wheel. 1t was fortu-
nate that she was standing we'll off
shore at the time, for she began to
drift rapidly.
Being elegantly fitted for passeng-
er service, the Canine, which has
traffic arrangement with the Pacific
Navigation company, operating the
Yale and Hartford, has been carrying
a large passenger list between San
Francisco and Portland. This is the
third trip the vessel has made since
she went into commission last August.
The Canine is 2OS6 tons, built orig
inally for the lumber trade, but has
accommodations for 30 passengers.
