Spain opened a long and bloody war
upon England some centuries ago because
British gentleman cast a slur upon the
pedal adornments of Castilian queen.
Spain and England fought today, in the
persons of three lusty tars representative
of each belligerent, over the footwear be-
longing to son of sunny Spain.
The deck of the sugar ship Rio Clara,
at cambridge street wharf served as the
arena of the bloody fray. Matters were
foreboding fatalities when Policeman Null
cahy, an Irish-American. injected his hy-
henated personality and subdued the COM
bined forces OF battling Spain and Eng
land.
Several hours OF durance in stuffy cells
at the I'd and Christian streets station
had smothered the belllcose spirits of the
combatants. Magistrate Imber effected an
Anglo-Hlspanic alliance through his pa
citic and neutral overtures. Amicable re-
lations re-established. Robert Matterson
accepted the vehement pTotestations of
Serafeo Ferentos' undying friendship; John
Searright nodded approval 10 Maronio Sia's

The three Spaniards, on shore leave were

of them had a pair of boots under his
arm. He and his mates were in high
spirits as they assembled the gangplank.
A gallant English sailor attempted to
assist the bearer OF the boots to gain the
deck. He took the boots from under the
arm of the Spaniard. The proud blood
of old CASTLE arose In hot Indignation
Curses and fists flew as British heart OF

DOYLESTOwN, Pa, April 26-Direc-
tors of the Buckingham schools were called
to the witness stand this morning in the
opening of the second days hearing OF the
$4,000 slander suit OF Miss Cora Fuller,
deposed principal OF the Buckingham High
School, against DR.. w. S. Erdman, of
Buckingham. Pa.
Miss Fuller alleges that Doctor 11rd-
man called her n thief accused her of
appropriating school and church funds and
was instrumental in having her ousted as
principal of the school The directors
denied that Doctor Erdman used any
influence in regard to Miss Fuller or
school matters Horace Crouthers, of
Buckingham, a director, denied that Doc
tor Erdman told him. "If | had my way
she might get a school in the backwoods"
He also denied that he said Doctor Erd-
man was neither n director nor trustee
of the schools, but kept them straight.
Former Judge Harman YerlSes attor-
ney for Miss Fuller, declared the purpose
of these questions was to show that the
statements made that Doctor Erdman
brought no influence to bear were un-
true.
j. H. Hoffman, county superintendent
of the Bucks County schools testified that
he recommended a change only to get h
male principal TO replace Miss Fuller.

STRIKE OF ANTHRACITE
MINERS Is INEVITABLE,
DECLARES SPOKESMAN
Secretary of United Workers
Predicts Walkout of 10000
Men on May 2 as Result of
Failure of Conference
10 SIGN OF COMPROMISE

NEW YORK, April 26.-"The failure of
the committees representing the anthracite
miners and the operators to agree on vital
points means one thing-a strike of the
10000 men in the anthracite fields"
The foregoing statement was made to-
day by X. &. Adams, secretary to John
p. White, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, and official spokes-
man for the miners.
The final conference of the subcommit-
tees was held last night. although the
subcommittee of the miners met today
with the General Conference Committee of
the miners to go over the situation.
Tomorrow both the subcommittee of
the miners and operators will meet with
their General Conference Committees to
make their full report on the deliberations
which have been in progress for more
than n month.
If the men decide to strike. as now
seems inevitable, walkout would not be
called before May 2, when a convention of
anthracite miners will be held in Potts.
vile, Pa. At that time announcement will
be made of the mems grievances and a
time will be set for the walkout.
II was said on good authority that there
is absolutely no chance for compromise
in the meantime.
The miners and operators failed to ar
rive at an agreement on three vital points,
one of which was recognition Of the union
and the collection by the operators of the
union assessments.
The men demanded a 20 per cent in
crease in wages and to this the operators
offered the following counter offer:
\ 3 per cent. wage increase with a re-
vision OF working hours which would
make the ultimate increase quivalent to
1914 per cent.
Representatives of the miners take the
stand that If strike comes II will have
been forced by the operators. on the other
hand the operators assert that the men
have insisted upon demands which the
anthracite business doesn't warrant

that an eight-hour day ought 10 be granted
