LOST EMERALD
Mine is FOUND
Stock in Wall Street Goes From S25
to $1,000 on News Report
of RediscOVery.

New York. Oct. 25.-Rediscovery
of one of the lost emerald mines
in Colombia, where flawless gems
valued as high as $1,000 a carat
have been found in almost unlimit-
ed quantities, became known here
today.
The mine where these untold mil

Gated about 100 miles northeast of
Bogota, the capital, in one of the
widest mountain ranges in South
America. 1t was worked long ago
by the Indians and some of the
adventurers from Spain, who died
without revealing the secret.
The rediscovered mine is known
as the Chivor, and scores have
searched for it in vain for more
than 100 years.
News that this mine has been
found after a search of years be-
came known today when stock in
it became unattainable in Wall
street, after doubling at almost ev-
cry sale. A few days ago the stock
was inactive at $40 a share. Today
the news of the discovery reached
the financial district, and the first
sale was reported at $415-more
than ten times the value the day
previous.
From $415 the stock climbed to
$500, and the last sale being made
at $1,000 a share. Today those said
to be on the inside were talking
about $4,000 and $4,000 a share for
their stock that once cost $25.

Nomination.

Washington. Oct. 25.-By a vote
of nine to seven, the senate bank
ing committee today recommend
ed rejection of the nomination of
John Shelton Williams to be comp
troller of currency.
Republican members of the COM
mittee voted solidly against con-
firmation and the Democrats for it.
The nomination will be reported
out Immediately and in view of the
strict party division which Demo-
cratic leaders had hoped to avoid.
Republicans said the senate would
refuse to confirm.
Mr.. Williams nomination has
been in controversy for nearly a
year. Having failed of confirma-
ton during the last congress, il
has been under fire since the re-
cess appointment was made.
Extensive hearings were held by
the committee on charges against
Mr. Williams of persecution of the
Riggs National bank of this city
and improper official conduct in
connection with the Union Savings
bank of Washington and a bank at

HERE'S THE ODDS
WILSON BATTLES
WHILE HE rs ILL

Washington, Oct. 25.-President
Wilson, trying to get an ordered
rest, today had before him a pro
gram of unrest the like of which
has never before been put up to an
American executive at one time.
Here are some of the bigger
problems that are up to the pres
ident":
Threatened strike of hundreds Of
thousands of bituminous mine
workers scheduled Nov. 1.
Existing strike of steel workers
and the action of the A. F. of L. in
demanding the moral and financial
support of all labor to help win
this struggle.
Threatened strike of 100000 rail-
road shopmen who have given the
until Nov. 15 to re-
duce living costs materially.
Threatened strike of other rail-
road brotherhoods which have not
enforced wage demands because
they preferred to wait and see if
living costs couldn't be reduced.
The breakup of the labor-capital
public peace conference with the
necessity for reorganizing the pub
lie group in the hope that it may
develop some tangible constructive
measures to promote Industrial
peace.
Then there is the treaty Of peace,
and a hundred or more so-called
lesser worries"

WOMAN GIVEN
LIFE SENTENCE
IN NUN MURDER
Jury Verdict of Guilty
End Mysterious Death
IL Years Ago.

Leland, Mich, Oct 25-Maximum
penalty of the Michigan Iaw-life
Imprisonment, at hard Iabor-was
imposed on Mrs. Stanislawa Lypch-
inski, this morning, following her
conviction in circuit court on a
charge of Staying Sister Mary John,
Felician nun, at the convent of
Isadore, near here, more than u
years ago.
The defendant took the sentence
almost without emotion. A mo-
tfOn for stay of sentence, made by
the defense, was refused.
Deliberate ~ Hours.
The jury deliberated nearly 12
hours before reporting a verdict.
Sister Mary John disappeared
from the little convent at Isadore,
Aug %, 1907, and for years it was
generally believed by townspeople
that she had become lost in a.
swamp, during the course of walk
through the woods.
Early last spring, however, Jacob
Flees, sexton at the Isadore con-
vent, made affidavits that he had
helped transfer human bones from
a shallow grave beneath the con-
vent, to a nearby cemetery. The
bones were exhumed and with them
were found pieces of the habilment-
of a nun of the Felician order
Acted as HOusekeeper.
Shortly afterward a warrant was
issued for Mrs. Lypchinski, who
was housekeeper for Father An
drew Bienowsh, priest of the Isa-
dQre parish at the time of Sister
Mary's disappearance. The pros
ecution was not called upon to
prove the bones were those of Sis
ter Mary, the defense admitting
this point to expedite the trial.
Mrs. Lypchinski was placed on
trial Oct. 1, and confession which
she was alleged to have made to
a woman detective was introduced
by the prosecution. The confess
sion which gave jealousy of Sis
ter Mary as the motive, was denied |
by the defendant.

GENERAL TIEUP
WILL BE LABOR
REPLY TO BILL
Passage of Anti-Strike
Act to Bring Nation
Wide Walkout.

Washington, Oct. 20. - Passage
by either house of congress of the
anti-strike legislation contained in
the pending railroad bill would re-
suit in a general strike vote
throughout the country, officials of
American Federation of Labor said
today.
I'VE are willing to go to any
limit to maintain the right organ
lied labor has enjoyed for 20
years." said one federation Off
cial.
William H. Johnston, president
of the International Association of
Machinists, the second largest in
ternatiOnal union affiliated with
the federation said he, would or
der a vote of the $4,000 members
OF his association. He and other
officials said there wasn't a doubt
that similar action would be taken
by all of the 112 affiliated unions.
Mr.. Johnston said that there was
increased tendency upon the part
of some employers to bind their
workers with individual contracts
so as to shut out trade unions This
was particularly true, he said, in
the metal trades, and direct ac-
tion" might be resorted to if all
other means of advancing the in
terests of the unions failed.
VIII Be Taken Up At Meet.
1t was made known that the pro-
posed anti-strike legislation would
be one of the subjects to be dis
cussed at the forthcoming confer
ence here of union labor chiefs In
line with the call from President
Gompers for financial support of
the steel strike, Johnston announc-
ed that an assessment of $1.00 a
week on the entire membership of
the machinists' association as "a
defense fund" would be proposed
next month.

NOT TO PERMIT
FUEL BOOSTED
DURING STRIKE
Department of Justice Ex-
pected to Prevent Ad-
vance in Price.

Washington, Oct. 25.-One phase
of the coal strike situation which
most officials had in mind here to-
day was the cost of coal to the
public during the threatened strike.
1t was said that the fair price COM
mittees working with Attorney Gen
eral Palmer to reduce the cost Of
living probably would add coal to
the commodities on watch they
have issued fair prices.
Officials said the department of
justice would not undertake to set
national price for coal because
of the differences between mining
costs and freight rates, but that
the question would be handled To-
cally.
Strike In One Week.
Just before the cabinet met,
John L. Lewis. president of the
United Mine Workers of America
sent word to unions throughout the
country that work in the mines
would stop next Friday night.
Lewis said the strike would con-
tinue until the government is "able
to induce the stubborn coal opera
tors to deal humanely with the men
who mine the coal"
And one man is as good as an
other" he added.
Sentiment Against Them.
Before leaving for home. mem
bers of the miners full settlement

that public sentiment was largely
against the miners, but contended
there would be a quick change with
