LIKE
 CARPENTERS TOOL MADE WOUND
Knife Thrust Twice Into Body Would Have Same
 Effect.

Although Q small knife might have inflictG1 the wound which killed Harry RosignaI last Sunday night in East Bridgeport, Medical Examiner Gar lick testified before Coroner Phelan today that he did not think from the appearance of the wound that such an instrument had been used. He tes- tified that, judging from the appear ance of the wound, an instrument shaped like a carpenters chisel had been used. The medical examiner de- clared it was possible that if a small knife had been thrust twice into Ros- signals body it might have produced such a wound. He said the wound was wider at one end than at the other.
 Angelo Percy of 12O Willard street testified that he saw the mysterious tall and short men, who have been regarded by the police as likely as- sailants of RossignaL Percy was walking home when he saw the crowd at Pembroke and Willard streets. He stepped into his home for a very short time and then went out again to see If the trouble had been settled. Then he Obserbed the tall and short men coming toward him and RCssignal walking across the street where he collapsed. He said the tall man was trying to take an overcOat from his short companion. The tall man finally secured the coat and both then walked rapidly away in opposite directions. Neither of the men had his inside coat off, the witness said.
 The coroner reserved his finding in the case.

 Referring to the commission plan in the presidents proposal, resolutions adopted by the operators said the vital principles at stake are not mentioned, nor is any protection of fered the public against a recurrence of the catastrophe in the near future.
 The operators of central Penn sylvania earnestly protest against the form of the commission and it's pow ers,' the resolution said. +They de- mand that a representative commis- sion, similar to that which investi- gated the anthracite strike of 1902 be appointed and empowered to in vestigate by public hearings the facts which the American people have a right to know.
 TO neglect this duty is to sur render this industry and other basic industries to an overbearing group that has welded coal labor interests into a weapon for use against Ameri- can freedom and the principles of majority rule on which the republic was founded
 -Amplifying the resolution, the oper- ators' statement said the miners strike was in direct violation of wage contract and that the present settlen ent left them free to violate any other contract they may make to take it's place"
 The public. under the form of set clement adopted, may be subjected again at any time to the discomfort and distress through which it is now passing, it was added.
 Operators of the central competi- tive field were still awaiting results today, as were representatives of other coal producing sections Re ports to them indicated that only a comparatively few miners had ac- tually returned to work thus far

Paris, Dec. 12-Premier Clemen- ceau, as president of the peace con- ference. has replied briefly to the two notes in which Premier Huszar of Hungary, explained why he could not send Hungarian delegates to Neuilly to negotiate peace.

He left here Nov. 15 fer England and France and had intended to return by way of Southampton and New York on Dec. .16. It was his first trip abroad since 1914. He was 53 years old.
 Paris Dec. 12-The American col ony here was shocked to learn today of the death of George F. Rand, the Buffalo banker, killed in an accident while in an airpIane flight from Paris to London.
 One of his last acts before leav- ing Paris was to call upon Premier Clemenceau with Ambassador Wall lace and offer 560,OO francs for a monument to commemorate the bur- ial of a battalion of French soldiers who were overwhelmed in a trench at Verdun during the heroic defense of that fortress. The premier was deeply touched by the offer and &C., cepted it in the name of the French army.
 The trench in question lies in the outer defenses of Verdun, between Thiaumont Farm and the village of Fleury. The men overwhelmed were the remnants of a battalion of the 136th Infantry, between so and 90 men. The explosion of a shell bur- jed them in the trench as they were about to charge.

I've wandered over tropic seas where
CLEANS the Southern Cross,
I've crossed the trackless desert
where mems lives oft are lost,
I've climbed the loftiest mountains
and roamed the chilly North,
Ambitions lead I've followed as l
Jared so gaily forth.
I've faced the burning sunshine OF a
hundred cloudless days,
I've seen the frozen whiteness of the
brilliant polar glaze,
Yet the world may change as years
pass on and stars fall from the
sky,
And mighty hosts may struggle for
the fields where daisies lie.
And vet a thought comes stealing as
tramp the weary miles,
The magic of it's sweetness has cheer

claimed it for my own,
