COAL STRIKE IN ENGLAND
IS BELIEVED INEVITABLE.

Outlook Considered Hopeless.

London, Feb. 2S.-After negotiations
lasting a week the government admits,
tonight, in an official communication
it's failure to stave off a national coal
strike. True, the negotiations will be
resumed, tomorrow, but little is ex-
pected from these. The deadlock is
graver than anticipated. 1t had been
supposed that the greatest hostility
would arise from the Welsh mine own
ers, and public opinion was veering in
favor Of the miners, Who it was

mum wage, leaving the adjustment of
the details to subsequent arbitration
or negotiation 1t is now seen that the
miners themselves are placing the
greatest obstacle in the way of q
peaceful solution by insisting upon
their own Interpretation of the terms
of the minimum wage.
1t is this aspect of the situation
which renders the outlook almost hope
less At the same time. it is felt that
the governments efforts have not been
wasted 1t has secured the assent of

country to the principle of a minimum

sort to legislative enforcement of the

1902, where information concerning
shipments and margins were ex-
changed by the packers.

Roosevelt returned to New York, to-
night, after an absence, since Saturday,
in Boston, during which he came out
in a statement, issued here as a re-
eeptive candidate for the Republican
nomination for the Presidency.
When his attention was called to the
announcements by nine governors de-
claring themselves as Taft supporters
and he was asked what he thought OF
the situation in the West, he said:
L haven't heard anything and am
not a prophet"
He did add. however. that in the
state of Washington, where Gov. Hay
declared for Pres Taft's denomination,
the mayors of Seattle and Tacoma and
Senator Poindexter had announced
themselves in his favor.
Mr.. Roosevelt, who was unaceom-
panied, went directly from the train
to the home of his cousin, j. West
Roosevelt. to spend the night. The
fact of the colonels presence on the
train was not generally known. Meth
er on the trip from Boston nor in this
city were crowds in evidence and he
had no occasion to speak en- route.

The Elder Sulzberger Tells
OF Fight with the Packers.

He said that during that period his
company used black and red test
cost in selling its beef.
The black test, he said, was the ac-
tual cost in which the allowances for
bye products were changed to meet
market quotations, whereas the red
test was fixed and was never changed
except by agreement among the pack
ers.
Mr. SulZZberger related several eff
forts by Armour. Swift. Morris and

In some instances they bear scars

in the United States court on the
charge Of the murder of Capt Charles

defence, today, and went over the
story of his life, closing with the de-
tails of the events of June 9, 1911,
when the barge captain was found
murdered in his cabin.
De Graft maintained that he had al
ways been a friend of Capt. Wyman.
He said that on the day of the muir
der he washed up the dishes after din

3 o'clock aud took nap, sleeping I'M

STATEMENT BY MILL OWNERS.

Boston, Feb. 2S-The heads of the
Lawrence mills. all of which have the
executive offices in this city, disclaim
responsibility for the refusal of the
police to allow children to be sent tic
New York, Philadelphia, Washington
and elsewhere. In joint statement
issued tonight, the mill owners said
The manufacturers of Lawrence are
in no way responsible for any deten-
ton of children who We're being sent
out of the state. The manufacturers
did not ask for this; they were not
consulted about 1t; they were not i'm
formed of the contemplated action of
the local authorities. Any decision as
to the lawful and proper course to be
pursued in this matter will be entirely
satisfactory to the manufacturers who
are giving employment every day to an
increased number of people and are
thereby gradually reducing any dis
tress that has been occasioned by this
unfortunate strike"
A widely circulated report that the
troops We're about to be withdrawn
from Lawrence did not find sub
sanitation at the State House, today,
except that the admission was made
that the policy of a gradual reduction
of the force of militiamen on duty
would probably be pursued. No date
has been set for the withdrawal of the
last soldier. but at present there are
only 10 companies of militia on duty
at Lawrence, as compared with "a COM

Governor Foss and Adjutant General
Pearson are being made familiar with

TAFT TO GET INTO GAME.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-President Taft
will soon start a vigorous speech-mak-
ing campaign TO explain his position
ON current questions and further his
candidacy fer re-nomina ton.
Before the Republican National con-
vention meets in June, the President
will pass many days on the road and
is expected TO deliver scores of
speeches. He will travel as far west
as Chicago; as far north as New
Hampshire and south at least as far
DIS Georgia.
Other engagements may be made in
the next few weeks. The Presidents
political advisers believe he is their
best orator.
Ever since the Taft denomination
headquarters We're opened here, some
time ago and Rep. William 3. NC
Kinley was put in charge Republican
leaders have urged the President to
get into the campaign. He began fol-
lowing this advice when he accepted
an invitation of d years standing to
attend the 18th annual dinner of the
Swedish American Republican Club in
Chicago. The acceptance of that invi-
tation was followed by the announce
ment that the President had consent
ed to stop on his way West at Toledo,
Ohio. Invitations to visit Youngstown
and Massilon have been received and
probably will be accepted A few days
ago the White House let it be known
that the President would go to Sa-
vannah, Ga, in April or May and
might stop at Pinehurst. \. G,
