NEGOTIATIONS IN
 THE COAL STRIKE More Hope Felt After the Official Summary
 Given Out

London. February 22-The coal own CTS have appointed a committee to hold further consultations with the premier and his colleagues. and the miners representatives have been invited to have a committee meet the premier and his colleagues when the national miners conference opens here Febru- ary 27.
 Such is the sum total of official in formation divulged concerning the mo- mentous meetings in the foreign of- fee today which marked the beginning of the governments efforts to avert the greatest industrial calamity ever threatened in this country
 What actually transpired is shroud- ed in secrecy. There were three con ferences, two with representatives of the miners and another with the coal owners representatives. No meetings took place between the disputants. It has not yet been determined whether the miners will accept the invitation, as the delegates are unable to give pledges until the constituent body meets February 27. Presumably they will but the time then remaining in which to effect settlement Is eX- tremely short, as the strike Is scheduled for February 29.
 It was noticeable, however. after the official summary of the proceedings was issued. that more hopeful feeling with reference to the outcome pre- vailed in the parliamentary Hobbies, in- dicating that encouraging information had leaked out.
 In the house of commons this aft ernoon sydney Buxton, president of the board of trade, briefly outlined the days proceedings at the foreign office regarding the threatened coal strike and said that no further meetings would be held until February 27, when the miners federation will meet.
 The government, he said, contem- plated instituting an inquiry as to what measures are advisable to prevent a waste in mining coal and how to econ omize in it's consumption by more scien- tific use of coal in the production of energy. so as to husband the national resources.

"This restraint has been In operation for the last 20 years, he said, although the specific charge is confined to the last three years, The principal unlawful means outlined in the indictment are the bribing of employees of competitors and of trans portation, telegraph and telephone com panies: the hiring of employees away from competitors: the requiring of agents to interfere with sales and libel the machines of competitors, cutting prices, selling im- tations of competitive machines made to use as knockers and fnjuring competi- ton machines whenever possible.

 Do Not Temporize


 I've shall be tempted to hesitate and temporize concerning things demand ing prompt and courageous action for the public welfare. Again and again we shall stand perplexed In which di- rection to go when we shall have come to the crossroads of public duty and mere party expediency or even self in terest; our way will be so shut in by doubt that we shall hesitate even as to a single step forward and upward. But there is one thing above all things to which we may cling with a certain faith-that so long as we keep with ourselves a covenant to return to and abide by the principles of Washington's farewell address: so long as his char acter shall be remembered and revered bv us. so long as we shall set his life and his devotion before us as the best type and example of American citizen ship to admire and emulate, this coun- fry cannot falter in true progress nor in the end come short of its high mis- sion in the world For then. during all times to come we shall have for our political guidance as a people the in spiration of his presence. which will he to us what for the moral guidance of men, the word of the Lord was to the Psalmist of old--a lamp unto the feet and . light unto the path

Ospina's Note Personal

Washington, February 22,-The state department has consistently regarded senor Ospna's utterances as purely per functory and personal in the Colombian government imbroglio today and thereby accepts his own definition of his note re- garding Secretary Knox's visit to his native land and it's "inexpedlency.'
 Officials say there Is no ground for complaint Apparently it was quite an other matter with the Colombian govern ment It Is not expected Minister Ospi- mas persona non grata recall will in any wise affect the status of MT. Dubois, American minister to Colombia, who is said to have established very cordial relations with the Colombian govern- ment
 The only cocnern of the state depart ment over the recall of the Colombian minister, Senor Ospina, was that 1t should be thoroughly understood the de- partment had not directly nor indirectly suggested this course taken at Bogota, which consequently appears to have been upon the initiative of the Colombian gov ernment entirely.
 Await Official Action
 Just how the state department will be notified officially of General Ospina'S re- call is matter of conjecture If Is scarcely expected that the minister will be put in the embarrassing position of being required to present his own letters of recall Ordinarily he would quietly withdraw and permit his successor 10 present the letters of recall with his own credentials. Meanwhile American Minis ter Dubois is expected to advise the denartment what has taken place.
 A normal outcome of the present sit- nation would be the extension by the Colombian government of a formal in yitation to Secretary Knox to visit Carta- gena as originally planned. While the delay by adverse weather of Secretary Knox's departure from Florida on the cruiser Washington will enable him 10 receive notice before he sails of the latest developments in the Colombian situation, 1t is regarded as doubtful whether he can change his plans to accept an in vitation to visit Colombia.
 Relies on People
 It has been suggested that General Os- pima. who must have calculated the pos sible result of his letter. Is relying upon the support of large element among the Colombian people
 Some diplomatic officials declare that Minister Ospiha well knew he was suD- jecting himself to the dislike of the state department as well as to his own govern ment. but that he was willing to sacriflce his position to bring before the world once more in an emphatic manner the claims of Colombia.
 Minister Ospina is a man of independ- ent means and is said to have suffered personally through the acquisition of the canal zone by the United States. He believes that he was refectlng popular sentiment by his action.

Will Follow His Hat

Without commenting upon the logic of the Roosevelt declaration, Congress man Underwood expressed the convic- tion that the former President would follow his hat and that this quoted declaration from him indicates fight to the finish between him and his suo- cessor.
 MT. Underwood declared also that notwithstanding the attitude of the President, the democrats in the House, within a few weeks, will pass a sugar revision tariff bill and a wool tarif revision bill.

THE LEADER OF BAHAIST
MOVEMENT ISM TOWN
One of the kindliest, most low
able men in the world is in Chi
cago today.
He is Abdul BAHIA, leader of the
Bahaist movement.
Bahaism has been called an
Oriental cult, a new religion. It
is neither one nor the other. 1t
is merely Abdul BAHIA. And Abdul
BAHIA is a man who loves his fell
low men, and who carries his love
for them into every word he ut
tiers, into his every deed.
Bahaism is just the practice of
universal kindness, universal
brotherhood, universal love.
Abdul BAHIA is an old man now.
He has many followers, andis ac-
corded great respect by them.
His. paths are not hard.
But it was different in his
youth. When 6Fst he began to
preach his doctrine of love and
forgiveness in his native Persia,
he was prosecuted.
The Mohammedans of his ma
tive land hated him. How could
they, worshippers of the sword as
they are, do otherwise?
He was driven from city to

were times when he had not food

MUSICAL COMEDY LAST NIGHT.
Large Audience Witnessed jumping
Jupiter" at the Grand.

Jumping Jupiter" with Richard
Carle and Miss Edna Wallace Hopper
as the stars, was the attraction at
the Grand Iast night, playing to a
fairly large audience despite the in
clement weather.
To say that the audience was some
what disappointed in the production
would not be doing the company an
injustice. While the attraction can be
classed as a fairly good one, there was
nothing unusual about it to warrant
the advance in the price of admission.
Richard Carle is very good colne-
dian; he is funny to look at and his
various movements about the stage,
his gestures and his line of talk proved
amusing, while Miss Hopper appeared
to be the only one among the entire
aggregation who really felt like
working" The others, it appeared,
had somewhat OF an off-nigAt and did
not perform with the snap that makes
a musical comedy success.
There was some catchy music in
the comedy, hut none of the singers
were possessed of unusually strcng
voices. The chorus, while small, was
we'll trained, the costumes were all
very pretty, ETC., bat there was moth
ing about the attraction to make it
above the ordinary, and those who
paid an admission of $500 hardly got
their moneys worth.
