Grand Jury Hearing.

The National Prison Reform Associ-
alton has retained George Gordon Bat
tie to represent it in the grand jury in
vestigation.
Mr.. Battle telegraphed Justice Nor
chauser yesterday asking him not to
close the proceedings until he had an
opportunity of presenting several prop
ositions on behalf of the association.
The witnesses yesterday were Super
intendent of the Prisons Department

and two convicts. No important
testimony was given and the case was
adjourned until Monday, when it is ex-
pected the jury will hand up indict-
ments.
Nathan Kaplan, alias "Kid Dropper,"
one Of the convicts who was indicted
last week, was taken from the county
Jail last night and transferred TO Clin-
ton prison. The transfer was ordered

"New York City"
At recent meeting of y parents as
sociation in this city T. W. Metcalfe,
school editor of "The Globe" delivered
a speech so full of inaccuracies and
Misrepresentation about the Gary
plan that | challenged him to let me
have the speech in full for refutation.
That was ten days ago. So far Mr..
Metcalfe has not honored me with his
statistics. He has published two dis
connected sections of this speech, which
| shall take pleasure in answering next
Monday, before which day hope that
Mr.. Metcalfe will see his way clear TO
submitting his speech in full.

paid up to the day of the strike, is not
binding.
Whether or not Gompers would be
acceptable to the strikers or be
greeted as mere butter in" is one
of the questions those having the mat
ter under consideration are most wor-
ried by. The tendency of those in
charge of the strike is to insist that
il is purely a local matter, and that no
outside aid is needed. The point
which it is thought will appeal to
Gompers is that while the question in
It's inception is local the effect Of the
charge Of contract breaking will react
against labor the country over.
Should Gompers for any reason prove
unavailable as a peacemaker there is
talk of asking John Mitchell TO come
in. Mitchell is the idol Of the coal
miners in this valley, and with them
his decision would be binding. Upon
their continued support the strikers
must bank for success. For this rea-
son there are those in the merchants
peace movement who would prefer him
as a peacemaker 10 Gompers.
Tonight for the first time in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant prac
tically every store in the business sec
tion is closed. On other Thanksgiving
ewes there have been many who re-
mained open for out-of-town trade.
Nominally all are closed out of con-
sideration for their clerks. As a mat
ter of fact the stores are closed be-
cause, with the small amount Of trade
in sight, and the lack of streetcar SER
vice, there would be no money in keep
ing open.
More persons were riding on the cars
to-day than on any day since service
was resumed, and demands are being
made upon the company to extend its
service. James A. Waddell, who is in
charge of the new employees of the
company, is prepared to establish a
full service as soon as Mr.. Wright or
ders it, but no decision has been
reached on that point yet. Everything
is being arranged for, even the snow
cleaning apparatus being tested out to-
day TO make sure a storm would not
find the company unprepared.
Such a storm would be welcomed by
the merchants.
"A foot Of snow or So" said one Of
these, "and people would have to ride,
unions or no unions, or else the whole
valley would 60 out OF business. The
Jitneys cannot handle the situation as
it is; the extra trains the railroads are
running to handle such of the traffic
as is on their lines would not be suf-
ficient, and people could not walk
More guards arrived In the city to-
day and more are expected in the
morning. As tomorrow is a holiday,
trouble is looked for, especially in the
Plymouth district, the one place in the
hard coal country that the state police
have not proved themselves able to
control. Another soft spot is Edwards
Vile. But at these, as we'll as other
points along the company's twelve miles
of tracks, every car will be guarded as
far as is practicable, with the majority
of the troopers held in reserve at their
barracks for riot calls.

Doctor Seeks Volunteer to
Save Life of Grace
Marshall.
PARENTS UNDERGO
HOURS EXAMINATION
Patient, Weaker and Restless,
Removed to EastOn
Hospital.
[By Telegraph 10 The Tribune J

Easton, Md, Nov. 24.-Grace Mar
shall, who was imprisoned for twelve
years in her fathers home, was re-
moved to-day to the new emergency
hospital, while her father and step
mother were locked up in Jail await
ing a hearing before Magistrate Tharp
on Friday morning. Marshall is ac-
cused of assault with intent to kill,
while against Mrs Marshall only a
charge of assault is laid.
DR.. Charles +. Davidson announced
to-day that a TRANSMISSION of blood
would be necessary to save the life OF
the girl, and that as soon as some per-
son volunteers to give the required
amount the operation would be per-
formed.
The little, emaciated figure in the
centre of the bed, under the constant
care of a nurse, made a pathetic pict-
ure. For several days after being
brought to her aunt's home her con-
dition improved, and she appeared to
regain vitality.
To-day, however, the patient seemed
to suffer a relapse, and she lay for
hours apparently unconscious OF her
visitors. She is also much weaker.
Mrs. Marshall was questioned for
more than an hour this morning at
Sheriff Stevens's Office. She was very
detected after her arrest, AMI evidently
had been weeping. Marshall, also, was
very nervous, and would not talk
When Mrs. Marshall was brought into
the Sheriff's office and told that she
was to be questioned, she said: LET
Frank come out here, too" In every
instance the Marshalls have refused to
talk unless they were together.
To-day, however, she was compelled
to talk without her husband. She con-
sidered every question carefully before
replying, and hesitated frequently. Few
new facts were developed at the hear
ing.

WANT JOHNSON POSTMASTER

Tammany Hall, if consulted, will
favor the appointment of Joseph John
son, now chief of the bureau of tran
sit inspection of the Public Service
Commission, to succeed Postmaster
Morgan, whose term expires next
month. The organization does not in
tend TO put Johnson or any other cam
didate in the field it was said, but will
leave the whole matter TO President
Wilson and Senator O'Gorman.
Most of the principal business and
civic organizations in the city are de-
handing the retention of Mr.. Morgan
in Office because of the splendid record
of his administration. Mr.. Johnson
contended yesterday that the removal
of Mr.. Morgan would not be ''an at
tack upon the merit system as en-
bodied in the principles Of civil ser
vice." as he said Mr.. Morgan's friends
