citv Hospital Nurses Grateful.

The nurses ut the City hospital desire
to thank the friends who so generously
contributed towards a second telephone
which was placed on the second floor
to make their work easier. 1t will save
them many steps and be greatly appre-
ci,ted as an expression OF the thought
fulHess of former patients, as well as
of other friends.
In various ways, other friends have
shown a desire to make the work OF the
nurses easier. For all of these, the
nurses are grateful. Not only for kind
nesses shown, but for kind words spok-
en-, are they grateful. and in both these
ways do they feel repaid by those whom
they have served.

COAL MEN TO MEET IN NEW YORK.
Subcommittee Adjourns to Confer Again
Next Tuesday-Hope for Settlement.

Philadelphia, April l5.-Having been
unable thus far to reach an agreement on
matters at issue between the anthracite
mine workers and the coal operators, the
subcommittee adjourned Saturday to
meet in New York Tuesday
The failure 20 agree after three days
discussion does not mean hitch has
occurred but is due to complicated con-
ditions encountered in trying to reach a
basis of settlement for the entire hard
coal fields The methods of mining coal
and paying the mine workers differs
in each of the three principal anthracite
fields.
A report was circulated yesterday thav
a tentative agreement had been reached.
This was denied in statement issued
bv the subcommittee and it was added
that "al matters in dispute are being
discussed with the utmost care"
When the subcommittee adjourned, it
was announced that progress was being
made and that the members were hope
full of settlement. 1t is thought the
subcommittee in its three days consid-
Grafton of the nine demands of the men
have come TO an understanding on some
of the grievances.
1t is fully expected a compromise will
be reached without much more delay.
The fact that further discussion will be
carried on in New York. where most of
the presidents of the coal companies
have their headquarters, leads to the
belief that an agreement is not far off.
Saturday marked the close of the sec
ond week of the suspension. The entire
coal territory remains quiet, but in some
sections the miners are showing little
impatience.
The loss in wages in the second week
has been greater than in the first, owing
to the larger number of railroad men and
Others who depend upon the coal trade
for emnloVmpnt being idle.

FIsHED FROM sNowBANK.
A. N. Fellows of West Topsham Had
Novel Experience and Got Five Trout.

The opening OF the brook trout season
this morning was not accompanied by
many reports of catches. Spring has
not vet unlocked the brooks in the
northern part OF the state enough to
permit Of much success. Snow still lies
in the hill and mountain districts to a
considera ble,depth For instance, a. n.
Fellows of West Topsham went out and,
standing on a big snowbank, hauled in
five speckled beauties of fair size. That
was in a small branch of the Waits river.
Mr. Fellows reported that both banks of
the stream were deep with snow and
that conditions We're just about right
for snowshoeing. In most cases the ice
has gone out OF the streams but the
water IS high and very cold.

home minus half an inch of flesh and
cartilage.

flax Under Own Power.

Wireless dispatches up to noon showed
that the passengers on the White Star
liner Titanic, which struck an iceberg
off the Newfoundland coast last night,
were being transferred aboard the
steamer Carpathia Of the Cunard line.
Already 500 or more persons had been
transferred to the Carpathia. Another
liner, the Partisan, was assisting in the
work of rescue; the Baltic and the Vir-
ginian were also near, while the Olympic
was apparently in the vicinity
The latest reports indicate that the
transfer of passengers is being done
successfully and safely. 1t is probable
that all the passengers are safe. While
badly damaged, the Titanic is still afoat
and is reported to be making towards
Halifax under her own power. The
Titanic is the largest steamer ever built.
Besides her passengers, she carries a
crew of 800.

A Silent Speech.

Legislators might profitably ponder the
example set in the House of Representa-
tives yesterday by Mr.. Akin of New York,
who delivered silent speech utiliz-
ing his allotted five minutes by display
ing on the clerks desk q placard to illus-
trate from his point of view the difference
in the fullness of the dinner pair' in
1900 and in 1913. Representative Akin
probably gained more attention by his
five minutes Of silence than though he
had spoken at top speed for his allotted
time and had then obtained leave to extend
his remarks in the Record. AS a matter
of fact, the shorter speeches in the House
make the biggest hits. Sometimes a
member gets the most conspicuous head
line of the day by the utteranee of a
mere paragraph. The public has little
patience with and takes small interest in
long-winded discussions. Even the ora
tons and addresses of the most promi-
nent of public men are read with sense
of duty rather than from concern in the
text. The great majority Of speeches de-
livered in Congress could be condensed to
one-quarter of the volume without injury
either to style or argument and the bust
ness of Congress would be greatly facili-
tated by the process, not TO mention the
economy in printing.

Gen. Ospina's Complaint.

The Colombian minister has taken
umbrage at the manner in which his re-
markable letter to the acting Secretary
OF State regarding the proposed visit of
Secretary Knox to Colombia was handled
by the newspapers last Monday. Con-
sidering the fact that this letter was
and that the text Of it was reproduced
verbatim, the minister. surely has no
grievance IL his meaning was variously
interpreted. He protests that his letter
was written Ito avoid any possible un-
pleasantness to Secretary Knox by a visit
to Colombia II Gen. Ospina had con-
fined his letter to the first two paragraphs
and to the first sentence Of the third
comprising a little less than one-half
Of the text. this object would have been
amply obtained as far as the Colombian
minister was concerned without giving
ground for the comments that have been
made upon the communication and the
minister's purpose. But he went further
and proceeded to appeal the Colombian
case from the State Department to the
public, and INDUCED in language which
has been, 1t would seem to a reasonable
mind. subjected to only fair interpreta-
ton and discussion. displaying truculent
attitude toward the United States and
involving a charge of dishonor. 1t is
impossible to read Gen. ospina's letter in
the light of anything else than an ex-
preston of hostility toward the United
States or to regard 1t as other than a
serious breach of diplomatic etiquette and
the spectacle now presented Of the min

Low Step Cars Coming.

1t makes really no difference whether
the new cars soon to be placed on the
Washington Railway and Electric lines
were ordered before or after the agita-
ton for low steps was started by the
women of Washington, the fact that they
are designed to relieve the public of the
discomfort of the high step now in use
suffices to cause general qualification.
These will be open or summer cars, of
the type which now carries only one step
along the side. In the new style OF car
there will be q rise of fifteen inches from
the pavement to the first step, sixteen
inches from the first to the second step
and seven and one-half inches from the
second step to the floor Of the car, a
total rise from street to floor of thirty
eight and one-half inches. If this were
covered by only one step. as i'm the old
type of open cars. each rise would be
at least nineteen and one-quarter inches,
with the lower rise probably greater
than this, the upper one being shorter.
The difference between a nineteen-inch
and fifteen-inch rise from the ground
to the step is material in the case Of
many passengers. Indeed, with the pres
ent type of cars it is practically impos-
sible for some elderly and infirm persons
to get inside. This order for low step
cars may be accepted as assurance that
the local traction companies will here
after consult the public convenience and
safety in this regard. There Is no sound
argument against the lowering of the
steps and no mechanical difficulties stand
in the way. The present high steps have
simply remained in use because the pub
lie has not sufficiently protested. Now
that the matter has been brought to an
issue 1t is to be expected that in the
designing and construction of cars hence
forth due consideration will be paid to
the fact that it is possible to build these
vehicles so that the people can get on
and off them without a struggle and
without danger
