MINERS TRYING
TO SETTLE BIG
WAGE. QUESTION
TWO OR THREE SESSIONS = o
YESTERDAY, BUT NO AGREE.
MENT REACHED.
Believed, However, That Trouble VIII
Be AmicabIy Adjusted and THAT tire
Threatened Big Strike Viii Es
Prevented.

| New York, May 3.-Representative
of the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea held another meeting today to
determine what course they would
follow as the result of their rejec-
tion of the agreement drawn by the
sub committee of the miners and
coal operators, which was presented
for ratification at a meeting of the
full committees on both sides Of the
controversy yesterday. State Senator
William Green of Ohio, who has acted
as chairman for the miners in the
absence of President White, still be-
lieves that settlement will be reach
ed without a strike.
/ The conference today was prepared
to consider two courses of action.
First, should a convention of min
ers be called to approve or disap-
prove the action in rejecting the
agreement of the sub b-committees, and
second, whether the miners commit
tee should ask for another confer
ence with the operators with the view
of obtaining further concessions.
A convention of miners at either
Scranton or Wilkesbarre would not
only pass on the agreement of the
sub committee, but would consider the
proposition of President Baer of the
Reading company, that the whole con-
troversy be submitted to the surviv-
ing members of the anthracite coal
strike committee of 1903. 4A
Mr.. Baer told the miners yester-
day that he considered that the full
committee Of miners was morally
bound to stand by the action of q
sub committee, and that until the
matter had been submitted to ref
erendum vote of the miners the full
committee was in no position to ask
for further concessions from the op-
orators.
Meanwhile the suspension OF min
ing in the hard coal region Is con-
tinued
New York, May 3.-John Mitchell,
former president of the United Mine
Workers of America, and now vice
president of the American Federation
of Labor, participated today i'll the
deliberations of the anthracite mine
workers representatives over the
course to be pursued in dealing fur
ther with the operators for increased
pay, recognition of the union ana 9TH
er changes not included in the ten
tative agreement rejected yesterday.
by the joint conference of operators
and miners.
! None of the conferees was willing
! to discuss the nature of the deliber-
| ations, but each expressed the opin-
! ion that an agreement of some sort
with the operators would be reached
yet.
Immediately upon the adjournment
of this conference the executive
boards of the miners organization in
the three anthracite districts, COM
prising thirty-two members, held
meeting. Mr.. Green, representing
President White of the miners, said
the object of this meeting was to de-
eide whether the miners would hold
a convention to pass upon the tenta-
tive agreement, or ask for another
conference with the operators. 1t
was expected that this meeting would
last we'll into the afternoon.
I John Mitchell declared he had alb
solutely nothing to say regarding the
situation

CLARK'S DILEMMA
 AND THE SOLUTION

Washington, November 27.-Spealxer Champ Clark and the Clark family today disconsolately deplored the degeneracy of the good old kitchen range. in which our mothers cooked the Thanksgiving day turkey.
 These modern cook stoves are cn q par with the rest of our effete civliza- ton" said the speaker. South rrlmble, the clerk of the house. gave me fine Thanksgiving day turkey. 1t is a noble bronze bird of ample proportions. When I got it home and the family had admired 1t, we discovered that the toy oven of our cook stove would be too tight fit for the bird So cannot roast that tur- key without a barbecue pit
 After a family conference at the Clark home and after several statesmen Lad been consulted as to the difficulties of the situation the Clark turkey was taken to the capitol The speaker turned the bird over to the chef of the house of rep resentatives restaurant, who will roast it tomorrow in the big restaurant range. Nicely Drowned and stuffed it will then be sent by taxicab to the speaker s home for the Thanksgiving day dinner.

MILLS |NSAN|TARY. DECLARES OATES
Prison Inspector Finds Law Complied With Except
 as to Sanitation

Montgomery, November G.-tSpecial)- Reports on a dozen or more cotton mills in the state have been submitted to Gov ernor O'Neal by pr. William H. Oates, state prison inspector. pr. Oates reports that most of the mills are complying with the law in every detail with the ex- ception of sanitation. He reports that some of the closets are kept in a most insanitary condition and that in num- her of instances he has ordered the con struction of new closets.
 Dr. oates declares in his report on the Cherry Cotton Mills that the closets are among the worst in the state" and he gives the Prattville Cotton Mills no better record in that respect, stating that the closets at that plant are "a disgrace to civilization The Ashcraft Cotton Mills are also reported to maintain filthy closets. which have been condemned by the prison inspector.
 The sanitation at the Indian Head Mills, the Martin City Mills. the Central Mills and the Fuller Cotton Mills was pro nounced fairly good by Dr. Oates.

SIXTH SIXTH! DIVISION D|
 DOCKETS HEAVY Two Weeks Set Aside for Disposition of Cases FEW CRIMINAL CASES Large Majority of 115 Cases Before Supreme Court From Jefferson. Suits Mostly for Damages,
 Chancery, Civil Matters

Nontcomery, November 7.-(Speeial)-- The supreme and appellate courts dock cts for the sixth division are among the heaviest in the history of the two courts. While the supreme court docket is not as heavy as it has been, owing to the fact that the court of appeals has re- lieved the higher tribunal of a great amount of its work, the docket this year is unusually large practically all of the cases having come from Jefferson county
 Altogether. the supreme court docket has received about 115 cases from the sixth division, the large majority of which are from Jefferson county, The largest number of cases from the sixth division at any term of the court was about 15o. Taking the two court dockets it is prob able that there are more cases before the two appellate courts at the present time than ever before sent up from the sixth division.
 Most of the cases on the supreme court docket involve suits for damages and civil and chancery matters. Not more than six or eight criminal cases are on docket from the sixth division, which is considered unusual
 ihS i"NN c' VI Ahii''ioi e"'7e-f i'D'' @ts E accounted for by reason of the fact that practically all of the misdemeanor cases go to the court of appeals. All cases in- volving an Imprisonment of less than 20 years are referred to the lower lppel- late court
 Tn addition to criminal cases, the court Of appeals has jurisdiction over civil cases where the amount involved, inelud- ing costs and interest, does not exceed s1000. All actions involving the title to or possession of lands and chancery mat ters go to the supreme court.
 The two courts will probably be en- gagged all of next week on matters sent up from the sixth division. owing to he fact that this is the heaviest division in the state, two weeks are set aside for the disposition of cases from that division. It is likely that the entire time will be consumed this year.

 Condition

London, November 21.-Sir Edward Richard Henry, chief commissioner of the London Metropolitan police, was shot and seriously wounded tonight by a man who had an alleged grievance against him. Sir Edward was alightinG from a motor car at his residence in Kensington on his return from Scotland Yard when the man rushed from the opposite side of the street and shot at him three times with revolver.
 One bullet entered the left groin, in- flicting a dangerous wound;. the other missed their mark. The commissioner S chauffeur, who is an ex-policeman, grap- pied with the assailant and overpow- cred him. =
 It turned out that the man, whose name is Bowes. had a month ago applied at Scotland Yard for a taxicab license, which was refused. Subsequently he wrote to the commissioner pleading for reconsideration, but without avail. For this reason he nursed a grudge against Sir Edward and lay in wait for him.
 The commissioner has retained con- seiousness, but is suffering great pain. The attending physicians pronounce the wound serious, but hope for Sir Edward $ recovery.

Weather Conditions

Birmingham, November 27.-67 D. m ) The area of high pressure that was central over the northern Rockies on Tuesday nights map has suddenly moved southward very rapidly and now overlies the western gulf states. It has caused a sudden change to colder weather, accompanied by rain turning to snow over the western and central gulf states. and generally cold unset tied weather over the remainder of the country east of the Mississippi. Freez- ing temperatures were general at D. m. over the northern portion of the country east of the Rockies and east of the Mississippi extended as far south as northern Alabama and Georgia. Over the Atlantic slope temperatures are much higher, readings at D. m, be- ing degrees higher in Maine than in Birmingham.
 An area of low pressure has appeared along the northern border on tonight's 8 map and is causing a slight rise in temperatures over the upper Rocky mountain plateau and plains states. It will probably cause more moderate weather over the western half of the great central basin during the next 24 hours.
 The present disturbance with it's ac- comparing snow is a very unusual con- dltion in this section at this time of year. At Birmingham almost an inch of snow covered the ground at D. m., which breaks the record for November since the station has been established. At other points in northern Alabama and Georgia an equally heavy snowfall was reported.
 Conditions seem favorable for fair section with continued low tempera- section with continued law tempera- lures. Friday will be fair and warmer.
