COAL OPERATORS

LONDON, March 1.-THE Welsh
and Scotch mine operators capitula =
ed 10 public sentiment this afternoon
and agreed to join with the English
owners in another conference with
the premier and the union committee
TO try 10 reach a settlement. The con.
ference began at 3 o'clock this after
noon In the Office of Premier Asqulth.
There vas a general feeling today
that, so far as the English mines are
concerned the strike will soon be
over. Both sides want TO settle. Tie
question Is the. minimum scale ard
even that has been disposed OF ia
part. The only question now with
the English operators is the fixing OF
the exact figures and these may be
reached by agreement today.
The situation Is SO serious through
out the country that both sides are
| plainly impressed.
At miners headquarters today, 1t
was stated that nothing would be left
undone 10 end the strike and that Ia ,
committee would go into the confer
ence prepared TO make substantial
sacrifices for peace. Similar state
ments were made at the Offices or the
Following a three and half hours

tomorrow. While no statement was
issued, II was stated that the sltua-
tion seemed TO be clearing and there
was hopeful feeling that an agree.
ment would soon be reached.
BERLIN, March 12.-The spectre OF
republic for Germany was raised on
the floor Of the Prussian senate today
In an endeavor TO stir up feeling
against the striking coal miners. The
present labor trouble was declared to
be the part of revolutionary move
ment by the Socialists who want to
overthrow" the existing government
and the monarchial forces were
urged to rally 10 destroy the red
peril"
The speech. which stirred up the
senate 10 angry protests from the ad-
yocates of the workers, was delivered
by Herr Won Puttkamen, the former
provincial governor, and was for the
most part a demand that the gov
ernment adopt the sternest measures
10 end the strike.
NEW YORK, March 12.-The fear
that q general coal strike is Imminent
In this country, involving both the
anthracite and the bituminous hcids,
became a real menace today when a
general advance in coal prices was
reported everywhere. big corporations
are laying in reserve supply OF tuel
and the demand go far exceeds the
supply that bonuses are being paid
for immediate delivery.

A DELEGATION of bright and aggressive boys from
the Third ward, who know what they want and
that publicity is the only way TO obtain IT, entered
the editorial rooms Of THE EVENING JOURNAL. last
night and asked for space in paper to make an
appeal TO City Council for a playground near Fourth
and Madison streets The delegation was headed by
an intelligent youngster who went straight to the
point He said that if the appeal framed by himself
and his little colleagues fails bring the desired re-
suit 1t is their purpose to the ward and in
duce all parents to assist them. They were congrat-
uated upon their pluck and informed that the col
umns were as wide open to them advocates Of a
worthy enterprise they would be to grown-ups Tho
spokesman was asked to hand in the petition. He
said he had not written it, but that he knew what
the boys wanted to say and would proceed at once
to frame it. He did it with intelligence that would
have done credit to one much older
We print that communication In another column
We give space not because we favor that particu-
lar r.e for q playground, but because admire the
pluck OF those boys who characterize themselves
future citizens and taxpayers Of the city" All they
ask is some place where they may play free from
interference by policemen. In other words, they want
q place where they win have a right to play.
Certainly a city like this, where the Of today
were tlo boys OF yesterday and where the boys Of
today VIII be the Of tomorrow that is as little
al these Third ward boys, the boys of any other
varG can ask And they asking for something
thoy ha4c right demand Il is the right OF boy or
a girl TO have a Place or places where he she may
feel secure in nlaving. II is the duty of the men
and the women who bring those children into the
world and who are re31onsibe for their well-being
to provide play placel for them. II is the duty of
the city officials to whom those parents deegare
their powers exercise those powers in behalf OF
the children They should do 1t to the end that we
may have in city boys and girls who arc strong
healthy and happy and who when they desire to play
may do free from the danger Of being chased by po
licemen. In instances the policemen averse
to such work, but who must take cognizance Of the
complaints of and women who, too often forget
that once they were children and that in their time
they played as hard and made much noise the
children of today.
We commend the communication Of those Third
ward boys to our city officials for consideration. nc
them It may seem small matter for editorial com
ment To us Il seems large matter worthy of all

place I'm which they play right and not

have written should mpel City Council t'
break the playground deadlock that now exists anC

OF YE TERDAY
/, FAMOUS DANCERs LAST HOME COMING

Il can just remember as a young
man the great success upon tho
American stage which was gained by
Albertine Manchester" said the late
A. M. Palmer. one OF the greatest of
American dramatic managers a few
years before his death, in 1905.
Il suppose that many persons of the
older generation recall the popular
ity and success of this actress and
dancer. She was known on the stage
as Mile. Albertine. and the majority
of persons who saw her and who took
delight in her grace and charm were
Of the opinion that she WAS either an
Italian or a French woman. To my
intense astonishment, learned that
she was a native of town in Rhode
Island which was only short dis
tance from my native town of Ston-
ington. Conn and that her real name
was Albertine Manchester.
Edwin Booth told me that she was
a member Of his company when he
first appeared as a star in San Fran
cisco. He spoke in the highest terms
Of her He said that she had taken
dancing lessons of the famous Fanny
Elssler when that most famous OF
dancers visited the United States
Booth also told me that her appear
ance in San Francisco with him was
what led to her engagement to ap-
pear in theatres in Melbourne and
other large towns of Australia She
gained great success there and then
suddenly passed out Of sight. Booth
himself often asked in vain of those
who had been in Australia if they
could tell him what had become OF
her / learned the story of the pathos
of her closing days from a gentleman
to whom Stephen O'Brien, an Ameri
can actor who visited Australia, told
it,
According to that story, wher
| OBrien was visiting Ballarat in the
late 70s one of the citizens of tha
town told him that in the charity hos
pital there was a woman, who was
stone blind, who had formerly beer
an American actress From this MAJ
OBrien could not learn the woman''
name, but a sense of comradeshil
made it his duty to go to the hospita
and see if he could recognize her.
He was courteously received by thu
hospital authorities, and told by then
that they had with them as a char
ity patient for some years an Ameri
cancan actress known as Mile. Alber
tine, who had been suddenly strickel
with blindness while filling an en-
gagement in Australia She was pen
niless; she had no friends, and so sh
was received into tho hospital.

PEOPLES COLUMN

n the city OF Wilmington, and who
cannot ignore the truth. AS illustra-
tive of our position, we may cite the
following hypothetical case. Mr.. J, j.,
an experienced foreman in one of our
large manufacturing plants, meets
with an accident. He has been en-
gagged i'm this plant for 25 or 80 years,
he owns his own home, worthily pro-.
yides for his wife and family of chill
dren. Unfortunately he meets with
an accident while engaged in his work.
He sustains a fall There is r COM
pound fracture of both bones of the
leg. His firm summons the ambulance
without consulting him at all He
is sent TO the Delaware Hospital and
is attended by the physicians who are
on duty at that particular time. His
family learns of the injury; they
hastened TO his bedside; they desire
that the injured one be removed to
private room where he can have
every possible attention; special nurse
if you will, and they ask in all sin
cerity, in all earnestness, and in all
Justice that their own family physi-
clan be summoned at once to attend
this injured man. 1t may so hap
pen that their family physician is not
favored by the Board of Trustees OF
the Delaware Hospital, to be per-
mitted to come there to attend any
patient. In other words. to him they
have given the closed door. They
turn this way and that way for re-
dress and are given none. and as soon
as the case will warrant he is removed
to his own home that he owns, to
his own bed. and his own physician
administers to his every comfort and
necessity. II cannot be pleaded for
the doctors in charge of Delaware
Hospital that this condition is ignor-
antly pursued. They have been re-
peatedly petitioned to open the doors
for the general profession and have
as often turned an arrogant and deaf
ear and continue their selfish and ex-
elusive course. And instead of gener-
ously Offering or granting opportunity
TO sick and injured to their attending
family doctor. all this is denied, and
so we have plainly exhibited the con-
dition of public money and utilities
being used for private and selfish pur-
poses in the interest of the select
few. II the city is to continue the
policy of appropriating for hospital
purposes, why not one general muni-
cial hosital or Delaware Hosital under
municipal management, where the
many in the interest of the few are
not rudely thrust aside, but all re.
ceive a cordial welcome.
Respectfully.

desired to do
II is useless for the riverfront expoitcrs and their
agents to attempt to get away with the scheme they
have mapped with such adroitness The
people of Wilmington will have none Of it. They are

be reiected that the Bulkhead Law Of 1901 be

the people that valuable tract of waterfront land and
influence be cxerted with the Federal Government

No sIrcM DANGER.


ID REPRESENTATIVE KAHN of California, now comes
IN forward with the suggestion that if the Roose-
welt men bolt the Chicago Convention II may result IN
ino President being elected this Fall, and tnat the
House Of Representatives will be deadlocked II
should be called upon to name the next Executive
We think the California statesman will discover later
ON that President has been elected and that ne Is
Republican
Even those-who condemn the third-term candidacy
of Colonel Roosevelt must admit that he has aroused
the Republican in this country as they seldom
have been aroused and that practically all of them
are eager to participate in tho election. Prior to
the time he threw his into the ring there was an
apathy that was much menacng to the party
than the fractional bitterness that exists today
There are several factors that will make for Re
nublican success in November One is that the voters
are aroused thoroughly. Another is that it is char
scteriso of Republicans to fight at the primaries and
In conventions and then vote the ticket election
day The third is that weeks will elapse between the
National Convention and the general election, and all
know that time is a great softener
Nor must lose sight of the fact that there Is
great bitterness in the Democratic ranks and that it
will be accentuated by the the Baltimore Con-
venton regardless OF the result OF its deliberations
As a rule when Democrats fight each other they do
not their fighting after the primaries and con-
vcndons but carry the knife into the general cleo
ton and WELD it with destructive effect That viii
be the situation this Fall no matter who may win the
Democratic nomination
The Republican situation already is beginning to
siraighcn itself out The National Committee is at
work in Chicago. the proposed attempt of radical
Roosevelt men TO seize National Committee places has
been abandoned on the advice OF Colonel Rooseyets
managers and the vote taken in that committee
shows that the Coloners friends cannot count upon
more fifteen Of the hfty-three members Of tho
committee While unquestionably Colonel Roosevelt
will have strong support in the National Convention,
the Taft men confident than ever that
the smoke Of the primary battles has cleared away,
that they viii control the situation and name the
ticket
There arc tens Of thousands OF Republicans, who
followed Colonel Roosevelt in the primaries and
who wish earnestly for his success in the National
Convention. who would not think OF following him
he to advise couutenance bolt by his dele
gates. In fact feel sure that by the time things
have simmered down even Representative Kahn OF
California will admit that there is danger that our
nation will not have President result of the
impending election.
