English Miners Strike May be Settled
Next Week and Maybe


UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
LONDON, March 9--Despite the
optimistic prediction of Premier AS
duith and members of the government
that the coal strike will be settled
next week, hundreds of factories
throughout the United Kingdom clos
ed down indefinitely tonight Until
the coal strike was ended there would
be no more work for the employees
The last hope rests on the meeting
of the miners federation next Tues
day. II it will agree to modify its de-
mands, especially the minimum wage
scale, then there is a chance of an
immediate settlement The operators
say they want to compromise, but
they will not consent to the minimum
wage scale. They say, If the miners
insist on that point there is nothing
left for them TO do but to shut down
indefinitely
general impression prevails to-
night that the strike would be settled.
Ii was believed that the outside unions
whose members are suffering greatly
because of the strike, had brought
sufficient pressure to bear to compel
the miners to compromise.
Meanwhile from every city comes
the report of great suffering among
the poor.

An Occupation That Quickly 0ooms
the Workers.
The chief quicksilver mines in Eu.
rope are in the Spanish town Of Alma
den. which is an Arabic word, mean
ing 1.-THE mine of quicksilver" These
mines were formerly worked by the
1berians and after them by the ancient
Romans. Between 1645 and 1S43 the
Spanish government employed galley
slaves in them, an occupation that
soon ended in death. The fumes of
tne mercury produce constant saliva
ton, and the system becomes perme
ated with the metal.
At first the victim is seized with
tremblings. and then the teeth drop
out; pains in the bones follow and then
death. The annual yield Of mercury
is 100000 pounds, to produce which
1000 men are engaged in this I'M
healthy employment.
After Almaden so far as yield of
quicksilver is concerned comes Idria,
an Austrian town, twenty-eight miles
from Triest. These mines also were
once worked by criminals, who. owing
to the terrible qualities Of the mineral.
expired after about two years service.
There are now nearly 500 miners en-
gagged in the work at Idria. They are
induced to enter the mines by high
pay. A pension is allowed when they
are disabled. and provision is made for
their widows and children.-Pearson's

CHICAGO FINDS A
LIVING "RAFFLES"
Police Today Unearth Grimes
of School Teacher, Jacob
Foy Guthrie.
(NationaI News Assocfation)

CHICAGO, Aug. J.-Whfle arrange
ments were being made today for an
examination by alienists of Jacob Foy
Guthrie, the Chicago "Raffles" who
says he was lured from his profession
of teaching by reading detective stor-
les, the police compiled an inventory
of the prisoners loot.
From the list of articles already I'M
earthed it is believed by the police
that over $500, 900 worth of art works.
jewelry and other articles will be
found before the task is finished
Fearing that Guthrie would attempt
suicide, Capt. Halpin stationed a guard
over him and the disposition of his
case will depend on the result of the
examination today. There is no
doubt that Guthrie's defense will be
insanity. 1t is possible that he may
never be brought to trial for robbing
Chicago society leaders, but will be
adjudged insane and sent to an asy
lum.
DR.. Leslie W. Schwab, the Guthrie
family physician, declared today that
the young "Raffles" is an educated
fool" and dynamite kleptomaniac."
He has been book worm ever since
his childhood" said the physician,
but it was not over study that has
caused his mental arrangement. Aside
from his studious nature as boy, he
used to sit by the hour at night and
read thrilling detective yarns. 1t was
this form of occupation that fostered
that mental condition which has al
ways been apparent in him.
"Guthrie's action in storing his loot,
instead of disposing of it, is but one
example of his mental condition. l am
sure l shall be able to account for his
strange method of operation and prove
conclusively that he has suffered pc
RODS of mental alteration for years"
Bacteriologist by day and forger by

from policemen and night watchmen;
displaying the exquisite taste of COLI.
noisseur one moment and a lust for
plumber the next, he presents the most
astonishing combination of mental
conditions.
