The uncanny experience of riding
eleven blocks sitting upright in car
seat in an unconscious condition while
passengers and crew went about their
normal activities, was told today by
Ulyssus ]. Xydias of $50 14th street.
He says that his whole body was be-
numbed by an electric shock which he
received when he grasped handles on
either side of the car aisle, just after
he boarded a 18th and ID street car
at 14th and II streets week ago
yesterday.
Xydias declares that he was awaken
ed from his state of coma by the
screams of a woman in a seat opposite
him who was holding one finger up to
the gaze of the passengers, as if some
thing unusual had happened to it. This
occurred at 5th and f streets, where,
he says, he left the car unassisted
and got as far as the sidewalk, where
he decame dizzy and was helped to
the Columbian building on 5th street,
opposite the courthouse, by strangers

CABINET UNDECIDED
REGARDING MEXICO
Mr.. Lansing Says Jenkins
Case and Entire Situation
Is Discussed.

The. cabinet reached no decision to-
day on the Mexican situation, accord
ing to Secretary Lansing, who presided
at the regular weekly meeting.
Both the case of William o. Jenkins,
American consular agent at Puebla,
and general conditions in the southern
republic were discussed Mr.. Lansing
said, but the cabinet had before it no
more information than was available
to the State Department yesterday.
MeXicos failure to make a prompt
reply apparently has created an un-
favorable impression in official circles
When it, first took up the Jenkins
case last week the Presidents official
family was without all the facts, but
since that time much additional in
formation has been received both
from Jenkins himself and the Ameri-
can embassy in Mexico City.

Decision That Will End
Coal Dispute Expected at
Cabinet Meeting TODAY

President Wilson's cabinet expected
to reach a decision today on the wage
controversy between the bituminous
coal miners and operators that would
send the miners back to work.
Before entering the meeting. Attor-
ney General Palmer said that if the
figures as to operators profits given
yesterday by former Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo were correct it was
not likely that Fuel Administrators
Garfield would permit an increased
price for coal.
Any wage advances granted. it was
intimated, would have to come out of
operators profits. DIR. Garfield took to

Worried Over Expenses.

The party managers in each group
are worried over the prospective
heavy cost of the convention. Car
penter work, printing of tickets. and
IN 1act. every element of cost enter
ing into such an extensive enternrise
as a national convention have in
creased vastly since 1916. The demo-
cratic convention at Baltimore cost
$4,000; at st. Louis. $4,000, and the
next one will run away over 100000.
1t is said that cities are not so
lrantlc atter national conventions
under prohibition as they were he
fore. Hotels now are crowded in
every city with normal traffic. and
the crowds will not bring the money

Will Share in Paying Increase.

But there is another important fac
tor which differs from the situation
which existed when the maximum price
was fixed at the outset of the war.
The public payed the whole bill. Now,
however, it has been determined that
the increases in wages shall come part
ly out of the profits of the operators
and partly from the public in order
that a reasonable profit shall be OBJ
tanned by the operators and the in
centive shall remain with both miners
and operators to produce enough coal
to meet the demands of the nation and
the world.
All sides seemed happy as today's
cabinet meeting began and the gen.
eral expectation was that at the end
of the session at the White House and
the days conferences between oper
atorS and miners there would be
definite progress made toward set
tlement of the whole controversy
which has been so menacing as the ma
ton approached the winter season.

giving DPS the nation may be able to
give thanks that supply of fuel

of settlement appears already TO be

both sides that the coal miners OF

That was the situation as the cab
met received for ratification a pro-
gram that had been worked out on
the one hand by DIR. Harry A. Gar
field, fuel administrator who had
been concerning himself with the
raising of the maximum price which
operators could charge per ton for
coal, and Secretary William b. Will
son, who as mediator in the dispute
had brought forth a recommendation
for a distinct increase in wages for
the men to enable them to meet the
advances in cost of living which they
have been struggling to meet ever
since 1917 without any corresponding
increase in wages.

Agreed as to II. G. L.

Dr. Harry Garfield's set of prin
ciples indicate clearly that he is in
agreement with Secretary Wilson as
to the computations on the increased
cost of living. He, too, says that mas
much as the operators We're permitted
to increase their price in 1917, and a.
wage increase was correSpondingly
given because of the increase in cost
of living between 1914 and 1917, so
must it be equitable to grant again
an increase in wages and an increase
in price of coal.
The only difference between the situa
ton in 1917 and now is that in order to
stimulate the production of coal a large
enough sale price had to be sanctioned
so as to furnish an incentive i'll profit
for operators large ana small. Now.
however, it has been found that the
operators made large protits-in some
cases too large. Similarly the govern
n,ent is confident that the cost of living
is going to drop within the next year or
so. Therefore the actual figures agreed
upon for the increase in the price OF
coal and the increase in wages must
represent a compromise between the
claims of the miners for 40 per cent in
crease in wages and the Willingness Of
the operators to pay an advance of 20
per cent. The exact figures will be half
way between the two.

With Assault.

The race riots of last July We're re-
