Inns in the past several weeks.
Last night, for the second time in
two weeks, robbery of wholesale gro
Gerry stores took place. The night
Waterman passing on his beat at 3
o'clock, heard a noise in the rear Of
store. He saw one man forcing a

dubbed him over the head and then,
with knife gashed him over the neck
and attempted to cut him in the stom.

leg as he lay unconscious. The rob-

conscious, but the occurrence took
place just few yards from physi-
clans Office. DR.. Mcmillan. answering

unconscious, three gashcs on his neck
and one pistol wound. He was car

have established a board with advisory

commission not advisory in chan cter

'Thcrc are other important differ

andum of the attorney general and
John l.. Lewis, acting president of the
United Mine Workers of America lay
ing down the terms or agreement for
settlement of the coal strike. The
fact is that the operators never learn
ed of the existence Of that agreement
until after it had been presented to
miners at tn indianapolis conference
of December 8.
"The operators did accept the pro-
posa, of the government, presented
through Director Garfield former fuel
administrator, and referred to in Pres
ident Wilson's letter OF December 5,
under the terms of this proposal the
micn controversy was to be settled on
the basis of the five principles an
nounced by DR.. Garfield. The applica-
ton of one Of these principles deter

was granted the miners. The Garfield
proposal further provided for the cs-

"rhe operators still stand by the ac-
ccptancc Of the Gerficld proposal The
presidents letter of December 6, re-
fcrrcd specifically to it and it seemed
clear to the minds of the operators
that it was the intent of the president
that the Garfield proposal was to be
used as the basis Of settlement Of the
wage controversy.
"The operators never have been con
