Text of Appeal to Miners to
Save Country from
Freezing.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 10
The text of President Wilson's pro-
posal to the miners follows:
I have watched with Geep concern
the developments in the bituminous
coal strike and am convinced there
is much confusion in the minds OF
the people generally and possibly or
both parties to this unfortunate con-
troversy as to the attitude and pur-
nose of the government in its hand
ling Of the situation.
The mine owners offered wage
increase of 20 percent, conditioned,
however, upon the price of coal being
raised to an amount sufficient TO
cover this proposed increase of
wages, which would have added at
least $50,000,000 to the annual coal
bill OF the people.
The fuel administrator, in the light
of present conditions, has taken the
position, and | think with entire JUS
tification, that the public is now pay
ing as high prices for coal as it
ought to be required to pay and that
any wage increase made at this time
ought to come out of the profits OF
the coal operators.
In rAachins this onnclusinn- the

MRS. POWELL
MAY RECOVER
Killed Her Ten Year Old Daughter
and Then Fired Bullet Into
Her Own Head While
Brooding.

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 10.-Pending
recovery of Mrs. Emily Powell, who
yesterday shot and killed her ten
year old daughter, Jacquelin, and
then attempted suicide by firing a
bullet into her own head, no charges
will be filed against the woman, ac-
cording to announcement today by
District Attorney VIM. e. Foley.
Physicians believe she will recover.
Mrs. Powell, who before marriage
was Miss Lippincott, daughter of a
Philadelphia publisher, is believed to
have become demented by brooding
over the future OF her daughter and
because she believed her son was
dead. The son, whose custody was
awarded to Edward s. Powell, San
Francisco manufacturer, at the time
the Powells were divorced, is a stu
dent at a Colorado Springs school.
Several notes found in the room OF
Mrs. Powell indicate she had
planned the death of Jacqueiine and
herself Two of the messages were
addressed to woman practitioner
of a certain sect. In these Mrs.
Powell denounced what she termed
the false religion and fake healing
of the practitioner and her church.

business district was threatened today
by fire which spread over an entire
block between Third and Fourth
streets on Main.
The fire started at three a. M, and
was believed due to a sudden increase
in gas pressure which caused burners
to flare up.
With flames still out Of control at
7:30 a. M, there was no estimate OF
damage.
Firemen were handicapped in their
battle by extreme cold.
Eleven alarms were turned in dur

large stock was burned to the
ground, the fire department being un-
able to divert fighters from the main

Crisis Thought Near IN internal At.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-Neither

Ambassador Bonillas had any word to-

A crisis is believed to be near in
Mexican internal affairs. Carranza
has had a special train at Tacuba for
a fortnight ready for immediate de-
parture for Mexico City, according to
adytces here today Secretary-Treas-
urer Cabrera was said to have every.
thing ready for him and Carranza 10
leave on moments notice. These
preparations apparently due to be-
lief that clash is likely at any time
between the Carranza forces ana
those of General Obregon, the strong
est candidate for president at the cleo
tions next July. The Mexican petrol
cum bill which has been vigorously
opposed by American Oil interests was
passed by the Mexican senate Mon
day, according to advices to the state
department today. Measures must
now be acted upon by the house. The
American oil interests say the bill
confiscates all non producing proper
ties without compensation.
Unless the Mexican people put an
end to existing conditions in their
country which constitutes a menace

PARIS. Dec. 10.-The last OF the

their way to the United States today
and American participation in the

The American delegation, headed
by Under Secretary Frank Polk, left

o'clock last night

the fight in America for acceptance
of the peace treaty with the league

at the station. The tiger" presented
Mrs. Polk with bouquet of orchids.
Mrs. Polk, wearing a black fur

she bade goodbye to her European
friends on the station platform. The
Crillon was to be renovated when
last American properties removed to-
day and probably be used as hotel
for American tourists.

PROPOSAL
FOR CALLING OFF STRIKE

fuel administrator expressed the per-
sonal opinion that the IA percent IN
crease in all mine wages is reason
able, because it woulo equalize the
miners wages on the average with
the cost of living, but he made it
perfectly clear that the operators and
miners are at liberty to agree upon
a larger increase provided the oper-
ators will pay it out or their profits.
SO that the price of coal would re-
main the same.
The secretary of labor, IN an EFFORT
at conciliation between the parties,
expressed his personal opinion in
favor of larger increase. His effort
at conciliation failed, however, be-
cause the coal operators were un-
willing to pay the scale he proposed
unless the government would ad-
vance the price of coal TO the public
and this the government was unwill-
ing to do.
The fuel administrator had also
suggested that tribunal be created
in which the miners and operators
would be equally represented to con-
slider further questions of wages and
working conditions, as well as profits
of operators and proper prices for
coal. | shall, of course, be glad to
aid in the formation of such a
tribunal.
| understand the operators have
generally agreed to absorb an in.
crease of IA percent in wages so
that the public would pay not to ex-
