NAT GOODWIN EXCITED
Much Married Comedian Will Sue
Denver Editor.

New York, March 19.-Nat c. Good
win, Americas greatest farceur, is a
very angry person. So angry is he that
he has sent his attorney, Herman 1.
Roth, to Denver to have the editor
of a paper out there sued criminaliy
and civiIly and is anxious to send the
editor to Jail.
L don't remember his name and
don't rememb ber the name of the paper,''
said Goodwin last night as he came
off the stage after the performance OF
oliver Twist. This isn't the first time
he has done it and 1 mean that they
shall stop kicking my private life
around.
This fellow attacked me several
months ago and I paid no attention
to it. Then he kept it up and lately
he wrote this piece that was sent to
me through the mail. That is where
he made the mistake.
i've sued him for $100, 900 and don't
care if he has not a cent. 1 am going
to try to put him where he belongs.
He said I was robber of the fire
side and home and a man who dragged
defenseless women to the altar and
later deserted them. AS a man of the
world you know and every one that
knows me knows that is untrue.
I took that stuff to District Attorney
Wise and he said it was libelous. I
could have brought the suit here but
it would cost the government a lot OF
money so I am bringing it in Den

FOR War OR PEACE
The Question Is to Be Decided
at a Conference
Between Coal Miners and
Operators at Cleveland.

Cleveland, March 19.-Whether
there will be war or peace in the btu
minous fields at the expiration of the
present contracts on March 81 will be
known. it was said today, by the end
CT the first session of the conference
of operators and miners of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and IIli-
nois here tomorrow. Three hundred
and six thousand bituminous miners in
the United States and Canada will
abide by the result of the conference
and if a strike is called nearly 500, 900
men will quit work on April l when it
is predicted the anthracite miners will
walk out. Briefly stated the situation
is this:
The operators demand a wage de-
crease. The miners demand a wage
increase. The best either party hopes
for is a compromise.
representatives of the operators,
eight from each of the four states,
will meet here today in preliminary
conference. If the agreement is not
renewed work will stop automatically
representatives must be favored in a
referendum vote by the miners before
it becomes legal.
Strike Scare Subsidies.
New York, March 19.@There was a
subsistence of the anthracite strike
scare IOQdy, ana IN consequence there
was a falling off in the pressing de-
mand for hard coal from frightened
consumers.
The belief is gaining ground that
both sides will reach an agreement
and that if there is a suspension of
work April 1 it will not last long. The
operators say they are ready to confer
with the men on any reasonable
proposition and consider the situation
from all angles. There are also re-
ports from the hard coal region that
the miners officials are ready to meet
the operators half way.
The report from the west that Presi-
dent Taft may be asked to take a hand
in the situation to avert a strike was
read with interest but there was no
comment made by the operators.
Meanwhile the operators are said to be
doing nothing toward preparing for a
strike. Local hotels, hospitals and
transit lines are all stocked with coal
in preparation for a long strike.

Court of Appeals Quickly Stops
Aetna Litigation.
Believed Troubles of Corpora
tiOn Are at End.
INSURGENTS ARE JUBILANT
Last Step i'm Their Clash With
Old Crowd.
No Talk About Any Future
Proceedings.

st. Louis, March 19-The United
States court of appeals today dismiss
ed the appeal in the Aetna Building
& Loan association case from Topeka,
confirming the ruling of Judge Pollock
to seat the newly elected officers of the
corporation.
Arguments in the case were heard
Monday by the court and the contend
ing parties were represented by a half
dozen Topeka lawyers, who reviewed
the troubles of the loan association
and the recent election under a mas
ter appointed by the federal court.
Final decision in the matter was with
held until this morning and the ruling
dismissing the appeal was given when
court convened for the day. Attorneys
for the ousted officers and board of
directors declined to discuss the pro-
liability of future action.
News of the affirmation of the Poi
lock decision was received in Topeka
shortly before noon today. Members
of the new crowd in the Aetna were
jubilant over the victory.
1t is believed that the troubles in the
camp of the Topeka corporation have
been finally settled and no further liti-
cation over the affairs of the associa-
ton is anticipated. Since the first legal
of the association more than two
months ago, they have won every point.
They contended for the appointment
of a master to preside at the election
and to pass on the validity of proxies
voted by the opposing candidates for
office. Judge Sluss, of Wichita. was
appointed by Judge Pollock and pre-
sided at the election.
When the votes were counted two
weeks ago, the new crowd won by i
unanimous vote and over mild verbal
protests of the opposition. The old of
fcers then refused to surrender their
jobs and the matter was again taken
before Judge Pollock. He confirmed
the report of Judge Sluss and ordered
the immediate removal of the old board
and the formal seating of the newly
elected officials. This was done by
United States Marshal Harrison over
more protests from the regulars.
After surrenderfng their Offices under
an order of the court, the old board
appealed from the ruling of Judge Pol
lock and the case was heard this week
in st. Louis. Today's order confirming
the removal is considered final
