Secretary Of LabOr's Efforts to Avert
WalkOut Called for Oct. 81 Fails.
Another Effort to be Made Tuesday.
Washington, Oct. 17.-Faiing after
an all day conference to avert a strike
of nearly half million bituminous
coal miners, called for the very eve of
winter, Secretary Of Labor Wilson to-
night invited miners and operators to
send their full scale committee to
Washington next Tuesday when an
other effort to bring about peace in
the industry will be made.
Both sides accepted the invitation.
This did not offer any great hope, how
ever, for representatives of the opera
tors stood firm in their determination
not to negotiate any demand for a six
hour day, and not to deal with the un-
ions unless the strike, set for Novem-
Der /, was called off.

LONDON PEOPLE WALKING.
They Started Early Because of Strike on
"Tube" Lines

London, Few. 4.-Profting by its ex-
perience on Monday, when the city
awoke to find transportation hampered
by the strike in the tubes, London
started early to work to-day. By day
break the streets were filled with men
and women walking from the suburbs,
and the busses when they started at 7
o'clock, were crowded
Thousands of Londoners who, because
of the shortage of domestic help dur
ing the war had become hotel dwellers,
either went without breakfast this
morning, or had only a cup Of tea or
coffee and a slice Of bread. This situa-
tion resulted from the strike of hotel
workers which has partly broken up the
kitchen staffs and the table service in
the large hotels of the west end.
The kitchen stats demand an eight
hour day and 25 per cent increase in
wages. The walters demand the abo-
lition of. the system under which their
tips are pooled and divided. with com
mission on the takings deducted. They
also demand a minimum wage of two
pounds weekly for women and three
pounds for men. ...... ..-.
The hotel men declare they viii not
submit to the strikers demands and
that new forces for their establishments
are being recruited.

NO. MAIN ST. STORE
VAS BURGLARIZED
Place of Arioh & Dente Entered By Way
of Rear Window But Not Much
Booty Was Taken.

The mems furnishing store Of Arioli &
Dente at 81 North Main street was
broken into last night and small guam
tity OF goods was stolen, along with 30
cents which was left in the till This is
the first robbery in two weeks TO be re-
ported to the police, the last previous
break being at the Shepard cafe on Keith
avenue. There are some indications that
the robbery last night was perpetrated
by the same person who has been con
cerned in the long series of burglaries
during the fall and winter.
Entrance to the store was gained last
night by means of rear window opening
directly into the store A chsel had been
thrust under the lower of the two win
dows and the wielder Of the chisel, by
exerting considerable pressure, was able
to dislodge the screws which held the
locking device between the two windows,
thus permitting the windows to slide.
Then it was simple matter to crawl
into the store.
The break was discovered when the
store was opened this morning and the
police station was notified. The proprie-
tors are not able TO state with certainty
just what was stolen, although it was
known that 30 cents was all the money
that was left in the till when the store
was closed last night. In addition, suit
case is missing and several shirts. 1t
may be possible also that some other ar
ticles were removed from the stock

NOT An UNKIND WORD
GIVEN TO HIS WIFE
Preacher Hall, on Trial for Numbering
Her, Tells Jury Also That His Rela-
tions with Other Women
Were of Christian Pastor
Toward His Flock.

Saco, Me-, Feb. 4.--Examination Of
Henry H. Hall OF Wells Depot, Baptist
lay preacher on trial here accused of the
murder Of his wife, was expected to oc-
eupy virtually all of to-day.
Guided by the questioning of his coun-
sci, Hall had already given an outline of
his career as a preacher, wood cutter,
carpenter, pipe layer, sea cook and gen
'eral laborer, and sketched a picture of
his domestic life. He asserted that he
never had an unkind word with his wife,
Minnie, and that she never scolded him
on account of any alleged attentions TO
other women. His relations with other
women, he said, were purely those of a
Christian pastor toward his flock
Once, and once only, he admitted, he
had stepped aside from the path Of recti.
tude. That, he said, was in Portland,
but he had Immediately confessed TO his
wife and she had forgiven him He ad-
mitted that his wife had contracted a
disease from him after the Portland Incl
dent, but he denied testimony offered by
the state TO the effect that he had told
his wife it was no worse for her than for
him.
AID DHALL MURDER TRIAL g.. g.. 90.
On the afternoon of Mrs. Halls "ac-
cident," Hall said, she and he had start
ed out strawberrying. He helped her to
wash the dishes and weed her flower
garden before they left home.
After they had picked some berries,
they climbed up the railroad embank-
ment to the track, as she said she was
tired.
"As we walked the railroad, said Hall,
low. called to her, saying, Minnie,
there are some fishes here' She turned
to look where | pointed, and that is all
/ know of the accident. She just toppled
over and struck on a little island be-
low"
Continuing, he described in detail how
he climbed down the embankment to her
assistance and how he fell into the
stream in his haste. He told Of the ar
rival of assistance and of his impatience
while awaiting the coming of a physi-
clan. Eventually she was placed on a
hand car and taken to her home. He
walked as there was no room for him
on the hand car.
During that evening while his wife was
at home she lay on couch Il went
along and knelt by her side, said Hall.
II asked her if she knew me. She said
Yes darling, what happened to me?
What was the trouble? I asked her if
she did not remember that we went
strawberrying and that she fell from the
bridge. She said No, / don't remem-
