Americans and Europeans generally.
But IL has taken long time for the

have considerable trouble in fasten-
ing responsibility for the Drummond
diamond robbery AVA score OF other
jewel thefts on Dan. Callahan, arrest
ed when his pal insisted on stopping
off in ST. Louis for meal OF fried
eggs. Callahan is apparently third
degree" proof and no ,apount OF
sweating so far has brought a single
admission from him. To connect him
with the many robberies of which he
is suspected the police must trace
his movo>yents for the past two years
The arrest of Callahan was entirely
an accident as Postal Inspector Bon
sen had no definite purpose In stop

Leavenworth, Kas., but says an I'M
pulse" prompted him 10 stop off and
then he ran across Callahan.

Callahan, i'm a telegram received By
the police here today. He was In
structed TO communicate with the pos
tai authorities, but the local police
don't want 10 give Callahan up.
Callahan has been indicted hePe Tor

protest against the minimum wage
scale bill designed 10 settle tine great
like. and will not be parties TO any
combination TO kill il. thus defeating
the government and precipitating a
parliamentary crisis. was demons rat
ed today.
After Premier Asquth had OK.
planned IN the house Of commons that
he had been forced 10 reject the labor
members amendments fixing the min
imum wage rate at FIVE shillings for
the men and two shillings for the
boy workers because the miners OPP
posed the fixing OF minimum amount
of work as days labor and also be-
cause it would establish a dangerous
precedent which would be followed by
a demand from other trades for SINH
lar action" he received unexpected
support from Bonar Law
The amendment fixing the minimum
wage scale at five and two shlliings
for men and boys was finally defeated
without division.
The second amendment offered by
the miners which provided that the
wages OF pieceworkers should be in
cluded i'm the minimum rates To be
fixed under the bill, was defeated by
367 to 90. The miners were very
angry over the manner in which their
requests were voted down and insist
ed that the bill when passed would
utterly fail 70 end the strike.
Premier Asquith early in the day
announced that the government would
accept the amendment proposed by
the miners union which fixed inc
minimum wage at five shillings daily
for adults and two shillings daily for
minors employed underground. He
said. however. that he would have 10
include with this the amendment sug-
gested by the mine owners that would
define a minimum days work. When
the miners leaders heard this they
conferred and rejected the premicr's
offer, Enoch Edwards, their leader
saying that TO fix minimum amount
Of work by law TO affect every distric:
would mean that in some districts,
where coal did not run uniform"
workers could not meet the require
ment of the law
Premier Asquith announced that the
bill will be placed on order of tnird
reading tomorrow, and after a debate
will be passed. He stated positively
that the necessary votes have been
assured. The premier further dc
clared that the bill will be called up
in the house of lords on Monday and
