get at your hands a consideration for
the property which would be more than
a just compensation therefor. Such
vigilance on both sides-the one side

the value, is desirable for the exhaus.

Washington for information. From an
absolutely reliable source came back
the reply: 'No substantial basis for
the report
Did Kuhio Dodge7
Yesterday, when it became known
that Secretary Fisher was coming this
month. many asked themselves and 9TH
ers if Kuhio had not received some
foreknowledge of this, which fore
knowledge aided him considerably in
making up his mind to duck back to
Washington. Certainly the Delegate
would not want to be on the ground
with an investigator as shrewd as Sec
retary Fisher here to pin him down
with questions. 1t is not improbable
that the sudden illumination that came
to the Delegate, about three weeks too
late, that his duty called him to Wash
ington, came as result of a tip that
Hawaii might soon be too warm TO be
comfortable.

United Mine Workers 10 Walk Out
of Anthracite Mines When
Midnight Comes.
175,ooo MINERS AFFECTED
British Strike Almost Ended
King Signs Minimum Wage
Bill and People Rejoice.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 3O.-This
district is on the eve of one of the
most widespread struggles between en-
ployers and organized labor of late
years, the officials of the United Mine
Workers having yesterday issued call
for strike throughout the entire an
thracite district of the eastern and
middle States. The call was made af-
ter the mine owners had been given
another opportunity of responding to
the terms offered for another time con-
tract, to commence tomorrow, when the
present contract expires.
The strike, which will begin at mid
night tomorrow, will affect one hundred
and seventy-five thousand anthracite
miners, while it is not improbable that
the bituminous miners will also throw
down their tools and walk out in SYM
pathy with the hard coal men.
The new terms demanded by the
unions involve recognition of the
union through the collection of union
fees by the employers, an increase in
pay of ten per cent, shorter working
day for full shift and a change from
a three.year to one-year contract.
The strike will affect nearly half
million people directly and large part
of the nation indirectly.
British Strike at End.
LONDON, March 30.-The Minimum
Wage Bill was signed by King George
yesterday and is now the law of the
land, the news Of the royal assent be-
ing received with rejoicing throughout
the United Kingdom.
Yesterday the various unions ballot
ed on the question of return to work
or not under the terms of the new law.
The results will not be announced until
Thursday, by which time all the unions
will have officially reported the result
of the voting to the union headquarters
here. The general opinion is that the
vote will be overwhelmingly in favor
of resumption of work and that the
idle mines will be in full blast again
within week.

"Ruinous to the production and
development of the sugar industry of

cablegram sent to Washington yes
terday by the merchants association,
following action taken by the board of
directors to put the association on

The association was called in special
meeting by President Gignoux to con-

was that the association should be

BEDDING

Bedding, Nov. 21-The appeal from probate by which Mrs. Mary Rowland Of Weston sought to break the will of her father, the late Patrick Collins, of this town, came on for trial on Tuesday before the Common Pleas court and a jury at Danbury. Col Iins died between two and three years ago leaving a will by which all of his estate of about $4,500 was bequeathed to his unmarried daughter, Johanna thereby disinherfting Mrs. Rowland and his son, Daniel. The latter did not join in the attempt to set aside the will. The. local probate court. Judge J. B. Sanford. admitted the will to probate after a hearing in which the instrument was attacked on the hanna and the testator's mental in capacity. Most of the property left by Collins came to him from his daughter Margaret, whose demise pre- ceded his by a few months. The will was drawn by Justice H. A. Gilbert of Bethel at the instance Of Johanna. MT Gilbert testified that he drafted the document in accordance with the verbal directions of Collins who. in the formers opinion was mentally competent. pr. White, who attended Collins for Bright's disease, also con sidered his patient of sufficient men tai capacity to make g. will, his ail- ment not having affected his mind. There were other witnesses on the side of the testator's competency, while
