Miners Demands Formally
 Rejected by Operators

Mobile, February 9.-Today's session of the joint wage conference of bi- luminous coal operators and miners of western Pennsylvania. Ohio. Indiana and Illinois was devoted to a discus sion of the first demand of the Uni- ted Mine Workers of America which provides that all coal be weighed be- fore it is screened and that 1t be paid for on the mine run basis. Prior to taking this up the operators formally rejected the demands as whole and the delegates began technical discus sion of the mine run proposition. Next to the increase in wages asked for the mine run is the most important of the II demands formulated by the Indian apolis convention of the miners union.
 Western Pennsylvania operators are strongly opposed to granting the least concession on mine run and the miners are equally determined to have that system of payment adopted. Ohio oper- ators also figured prominently in the day's proceedings against this demand. The miners in urging the mine run system argued that 1t is the only equit- able way to pay the coal digger for

London. February 9.--Gen Sir Horace Lockwood Smith-Dorrien has relinouished the command of the British forces operat- Ing Tn East Africa, owing to i'll health It was officially announced tonight
 Gen. Jan Christian Shuts, the minister of the interior, mines and defenses of the Union of South Africa, has accepted the vacancy with the rank of temporary lieu tenant general, the announcement added
 On December 14 last, General Smith Dorrien. who had commanded the British second army in Flanders, was appointed to the supreme command of the forces operating in East Africa. That he was Tn active command there was indicated as recently as February 2, when an off, clal statement issued in London embodied a report that satisfactory progress was being made with the campaign.
 While the British expedition against German East Africa was organizing in November, General Shuts was placed in command and early in December an- nouneed that the entire force asked for the expedition had been recruited The sending of General Smith, Dorrien to Af- rlca to take the supreme command of all the forces for the East African opera tion followed shortly thereafter

BUT LITTLE CHANGE
 FOR ALABAMA COAL
Navy Department Wants to Use Poca- hontas Coal and Will Insist On
 Pressure Test

Washington, February 9.-(SpeciaL) Senator Underwood is not very hopeful that as a result of tests to be made by the navy department of Alabama coal, that product will be used in driving the ships of the navy.
 As heretofore pointed out in this cor respondence, one desiring that his coal be tested must ship to the east 25 tons and pay the costs of making the tests approximately S350. If the tests are with stood, bids in the future will be sub mitted to the manufacturers of the coal so tested.
 The government in the navy depart in no other, it is said-re- quires a coal to withstand the pressure test. The Pocohontas coal, though no better in analysis or in the possession of that test. Alabama coal, it is said, can not
 If it is true, therefore, that the navy de- ment desires to buy the Pocahontas coal, it IS safe to predict that that test will not be abandoned. In this connection, it is interesting to note that Morris Fies and Henry DeBardeleben, Birmingham coal operators, will interview in Washing ton this week Admiral McGowan, of the purchasing department of the navy, for the purpose of securing a test for the Empire and Sipsey coal.

Cleveland, O., February 9.--The first official statement on the impending controversy between railroads of the country and their train crews over working hours was issued here to- night It was signed by w. S. Stone. grand chief engineer of the Brother hood of Locomotive Engineers; w. $. Carter president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen and Engine men; |. E. Sheppard. acting president of the Order of Railway Conductors, and w. G. Lee. president of the Broth crhood of Railway Trainmen. These or ganizations claim to represent approx imately 100000 employees on 52S lines.
 The statement was headed, Why the eight hour day?'' and was reply to a statement issued February l by the executive committee of the Association of Western Railways. The brother hoods statement said in part:
 "The eight-hour day movement is based wholly upon the justice of a work day of reasonable hours that will permit the men further to separate the dead line between work and wages. The railroads say in effect that men who have put in lew years of rail-

 The run of mine system is now in effect in Illinois and Ohio, while in indiana there is double standard sys- tenn or payment Two years ago west ern Pennsylvania operators refused to grant the miners the run of mine.
 According to the operators, the de- mand will be rejected and all the oth- CTS as they are taken up in turn will also be voted down by the employers. After that the conference will look for some sort of an alternative proposi- tion from one side or the other and the real work of the delegates will then begin.
 President John F. White of the Uni- ted Mine Workers has been conferring here with the officers of the Alabama district of the union with a view of starting a vigorous campaign to or- ganize the Alabama mine workers. They have virtually decided to start the organizing work after all the wage conferences in the different districts have been concluded

UNREWARDED MERIT

PREPAREDNESS
 ADVOCATES AGAIN
Complete Protests Before House Committee Oppos-
 ing Military Increases

Washington, February 9.--Opponents of administration plans for national defense legislation concluded their oay in court today before the House mil itary committee and while not unan- imous in their opinions as to what should be done or left undone with regard to the army and navy, they all opposed any present change in military policy.
 Representatives of the Society of Friends and score of others, speak ing under the auspices of the Women s Peace party, discussed war and its causes and consequences from many angles. They were seldom interrupted by committee members except where the open mindedness of Congress on the subject of preparedness was as- sailed.
 Among those who spoke were Walter Fisher of Chicago, former Secretary of the Interior; Oswald Garrison Willard, president of the New York Evening Pest; the Rev. John McCracken, chan cellor emeritus, University of New York; Samuel B. Montgomery of West Virginia, speaking as the representa- tive of the United Mine Workers, and several fraternal organizations; Mrs Florence Kelley of New York, speak ing for the child welfare workers of the country; Sara Bard Field of Cali fornia, who said she represented the sentiment of the women voters oi western states; Frederick Howe, New York state immigration commissioner and the Rev. Frank Hall of New York speaking for the clergy of all denom- nations of that city.
 The views expressed ranged from suggestions that Congress should await the conclusion of the European war to profit by the lessons it might teach, to declarations against 8 policy of military preparedness at any time or for any purpose. A majority of the speakers, even the women, disclaimed any sympathy with a peace-at-any- price doctrine, but MT. Willard prefaced his remarks with the statement that under certain conditions he would wear that designation as badge of honor

Result of Unparalleled Struggle Over Appoint ment Wilson Will Ot Per init Shelving of Marshall
By HUGH W. ROBERTS

Washington, February 9.-(SpeciaI) The stamp tax. against which Sena- tor Underwood advised the President in the beginning of this session of Con- gress. and against which at present Speaker Clark Is inveighing, will, 1t Is indicated. be abandoned as a means to filling the treasury for "prepared- ness' purposes.
 Along with the stamp tax and the 'citizer" army proposition, it is thought probable that the President will forego the pleasure of receiving the indorse- ment of his proposed taxation against gasoline, automobiles, pig iron and fabri- cated steel.
 It is said to be very probable that the democratic majority will stand solid only in taxing incomes to a more extensive degree, in forcing manufacturers of munitions of war to share with the gov ernment their abnormally great profits, and in postponing the date for putting sugar on the free list.
 It is sub rosa gossip that the situation, chaotic on account of conflicting and seemingly irreconcilabe differences, has cleared to the above extent.

 Mrs. McAdoo's scheme for the rearing of her baby is indorsed by the prominent physicians who have been in attendance on the family of the President. The dis play of the picture of the crib suspended from the nursery window prompted philanthropist to purchase dozen such baby beds' for distribution among the mothers of the East Side of New York.

Berlin, February 9.-(Via London. IA new illustration of how the amenities of warfare are observed by hostile airmen is given in letter from German avia- tor on the western front.
 This aviator was participant in an aerial battle in which British aeroplane was shot down and one of the aviators killed The second was uninjured in per- son, but in landing his trousers had been irreparably damaged. The aviator thus afflicted. the German letter writer says, was so distressed that the German avia- tor mounted an aeroplane and dropped a note into the British lines. An hour later an English fiier appeared, returning the call and dropped bundle containing new trousers for his compatriot.

Washington, February 9.--(Spe- cial)--In search of other states to conquer the prohibition c6mmis- sioners of Alabama have come to Washington. They are Walter Ses- sions, s. D. Weakley, Fred M. Jackson and Bibb Graves
 The prime object of their visit is to hypnotize the Senate commit tee on postoffices and postroads into reporting favorably the Aber- crombie bill, that which would deny the freedom of the mails to news papers and magazines containing liquor advertisements, bound for dry" territory.
 They will be heard tomorrow morning at II o'clock
 Washington gave the dis tinguished Alabamians royal well come. When they reached the Will lard hotel, the lobby was filled to it's capacity with ladies and gem tlemen and music-the latter being  modulated- in such manner that it could properly be called neither syncopated fox trot nor a funeral dirge. On sight of the "dry" cham pions, a shout, half smothered, was uttered, and but for the fact that the visitors were travel-worn, they would certainly have been called upon for series of temperance lectures.
 It is said--and denied-that in honor of the coming of the com missioners, the Willard barroom elevator, run simply and solely for the accommodation of the thirsty, was temporarily ordered out of commission. But inasmuch as no one grumbled, it is probable that the report was in error
 Other distinguished visitors more or less connected with liquor as a political issue and opportunity, are Charles M. Lewis of Kentucky at the Willard, and R. F. Hobson of the nations large at the Raleigh.

Washington. February 9-Charging that Louis D.

Brandeis' nomination to the supreme court of the United States.
 Mir Thorne argued that it would be very costly to the American people to put men on the supreme court bench with pre-conceived notions to high returns on railroad investments in view of the fact that questions involved in the na- tional appraisement of railroads now go- ing on ultimately would have to be deter mined by that tribunal.

New York, February 9.-Advices receiv- ed here today assert that the German warshp Rocn, alleged to be the captor of the Appam, has been captured by the British armored cruiser Drake after a three-hour fight, POO miles east-north- east Of Bermuda, according to a story printed by the New York Evening Globe. The capture of the Roon is said to have been followed by the seizure of two merchantmen flying the German flag, one of which was armed
 The story is contained in message which the Globe states it received in code from reliable source in Bermuda. The message reads;
 Drake here today towing Roon. Took her 200 knots east-northeast Bermuda; three hours running fight. Lost Daneforth IS men. Her losses onc-fourth. Struck as we came abeam Two merchantmen with her; one armed. Took 10th. Brought here. .seagrave on sighting Roon said

 The Seagrave mentioned in the mes sage is supposed to be Captain Seagrave who was with Admiral Craddock when the latter went down with his flagship, the Good Hope, which was sunk in an engagement with German squadron off Chile
 There is no Daneforth among the of ficers in the British navy list.
 Capt. J. R. Seagrave was in command of the auxiliary cruiser Drama, which formed part of Admiral Craddock' $ squadron in the battle off Chile. The Drama escaped and later in company with the cruisers Glasgow and Kent, sank the German cruiser Dresde- off Juan Fernandez island
 A few days later Captain Seagrave fought battle with the German armed merchantmen Navarro off the River Platte and sank her. The Drama was last reported at Callao in June, 1915. { For several days reports have been current in maritime circles here that the German commerce raider had been either sunk or captured by the British. The British consulate, however, has re- ceived no official confirmation.
