New York, Nov. ls. The arrival OF

Long before the princes landing at the

The Union Jack of Great Britain was
flung to the breeze from hundreds Of

Middlebury, Nov lS.-John Higgins.
who on Oct | retired from the man
agership Of the Addison house, and
went to live with his son, Edward, at
the latter's house on Court street, died
very suddenly last evening at 7;lJ
O'Clock The cause Of his death was a
shock He was 60 years Of age, being
born IN Arlington Dee. s, 1853
He was the son Of the late Mr. and
Mrs. Thomas Higgins of Arlington. and
the oldest of 10 children, three Of whom
survive, Michael Of Brighton, Mass,

daughter, Mrs Arthur F. Coffin Of
Watertown, n Y.
Mr.. Higgins came to Middlebury 80
years ago, for eight years managing
the Pierce house and in 1897 took over

was one Of the best hotel men in Yer.

KANSAS MINES
UNDER RECEIVERS
State Authorities Predict That Actual
Hosting of Coal Will Start in
Few Days.

Pittsburg, Kan, Nov. 49, First steps
toward operation of the coal mines of
Crawford and Cherokee counties, under
a receivership created for the purpose
by the state supreme court were taken
here to-day by state authorities, who
predicted that actual hosting of coal
would begin within a few days.
Whether the men would resume work
was uncertain in view of statements by
some of the leaders that the matter
was purely optional with the strikers
The question of the attitude of the
operators toward the receivership plan
also was another matter puzzling state
officials. 1t was known that the op-
orators opposed the appointment Of re-
ceivers and that they had urged the
state to take outright control of the
mine operations. This officials declined
to do, Governor Henry j. Allen stat
ing that the proper course was to place
the matter in the hands of the supreme
court and have receivers appointed.
Details of the operation Of the mines
are left to the receivers, of whom there
are three, one representing the public,
one the miners and one the operators
The receivership affects about $50
mines, the daily output of which is
$4,000 tons.

Chairman Cummins of the interstate

said it was not likely that any at.

would be restored when the railroads
were returned to private operation on

The president said the immediate ef-

to the Hopkins house, having previous
ly notified the farmer that they would
be on hand The farmer was not caught
mapping and had gun loaded with
birdshot. After the boys broke the
windows in his barn with shower Of
stones they began to fire blank car
tridges.
The farmer then took hand in the
shooting and one of the boys felt the
birdshot pass through his clothing Clark
then substituted loaded cartridges for
blank ones and shot up the house, Mr..
and Mrs. Hopkins crouched below the
windows and later escaped to their
bedroom. The boys visited the Hop
kins home on July and smashed up a
