COUNTY HAS TROUBLES
L. S. Judge Orders 1t Meet Creditors
and Reach Settlement.

Kansas City, Feb. 25.-Judge A. S.
Van ValkenburEh of the United States
district court today asked the judges
of the st. Clair county court and rep
resentatives of creditors of the county
with claims aggregating 100000 to
meet in Kansas City March "a, next.
and settle their differences. The
county and it's creditors have been
fighting for forty-five years.
The case before Judge Van Valken-
burgh is the so-called st. Clair county
bond case" 1t grew out of the issu-
ance of bonds in 1871 by the county to
promoters who promised to build the
Tebo and Neosho railway. The road
never reached the county and its cit
liens today are still striving to escape
payment for the indiscretion of their
fOrefatherS.
The promoters sold the bonds to in
nocent purchasers. The county never
reimbursed the purchasers and to do
so now with accumulated interest.
would be equivalent to selling out the
entire county

MINERS EXPECT RAISE
Eastern Operators May Make Con-
ccssions to Their Coal Diggcrs.

New York, Feb. 25.-Representa-
tives of the 1850 soft coal miners
of western Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana and Illinois looked for conces-
sions from the operators when a sub
committee of the conference of opcr-
ators and mine workers met here
again To-Day to consider i new wage
scale.
The point upon which the conces-
sions were expected was whether the
miners should be paid upon the basis
of the run of the mine or under the
screen system which now prevails in
part of the oituminous field. The
miners demand pay on the run of the
mine basis.
II was reported today that the in
creasing demands for coal to operate
the munition factories would be a fac
tor in inducing the mine operators to
grant the increased pay and improve
working conditions. Munitions manu-
facturers are said to have appealed
TO the ooerators for n peaceful settle
ment of the differences with the
miners
