WILL STOP MINUTE
STRIKE is OVER
Members of Cabinet Refuse
to Talk About Meeting
Officials - Preparing for
Long Shut Down of
Mines-Denial of Coal to
Foreign Ships Will Help
the Domestic Situation -

WASHINGTON Nov. THE strike
of bituminous coal miners in particular
and the industrial situation in general
were discussed by President Wilson S
cabinet to-day at a special meeting
called by Secretary Lansing Of the
state department Fuel Administrator
Garfield and Director General Hines
of the railroad administration were
present.
Before the cabinet assembled admin
istration spokesman reiterated that the
government was opposed to the propos-
al of Samuel Gompers as president OF
the American federation of labor that
the injunction suit against the United
Mine Workers of America be with
drawn as preliminary to the ending
of the strike and the negotiation of a
and operators.
Officers said that the government s
offer to arbitrate the controversy as
soon as the strike order was withdrawn
still was open and that unless it was
accepted and the strike ended there
was no course for the government ex-
eept to press the injunction suit.
When Mr. Palmer left the cabinet
meeting he reiterated that the injunc
tion proceedings would be withdraw
the instant the officials of the miners
| union called off the strike. Mr. Palm
er hurried to his Office where he was t.
have another conference with Gompers
| Woll and Morrison.
| None of the members of the cabine
would say what transpired at the meet
ing. When approached by a CORE
| spondent Secretary Glass of the treas
ury waved his hand and said jus
an hour and a half wasted" Secretar,
| Wilson would not reply to questions a
to whether he had opposed the decision
of the government to press the injunc
tion proceedings. He is reported t
have opposed such action in the frs
place Director General Hines and M
Garfield were with the cabinet abou
an hour, but neither had anything t
say.
Officials in direct touch with the co:
situation apparently were preparing t.
day for a prolonged shutdown of ii
mines.

INNOCENT GOAT
CAUSE OF JOKE
Game Warden Metcalf Scented Deer
and Made Investig tigation-Others
Ready with Albi Stuff.

Linde Kali, the jolly plumber, shakes
with laughter when one mentions his
deer trap in his hearing 1t is a case
of goat get goat, and Linde's goat seems
to have gotten that of the game warden,
Liveryman Tucker and some others.
The deer season will remain closed for
some days yet, so Game Warden Metcalf
naturally keeps his ear to the ground
to keep tabs on the hunters footsteps.
1t appears that one day this week Mr..
Kali brought home small goat covered
with a blanket in the rear of his buggy,
lust his head with short horns being
visible. He called the attention of sew
eral to his "spike-h horn" among them
Liveryman Tucker, whose alibi is that
it was getting dusk and he couldn't see
very well.
The story soon got around that Mr..
Kali had spike horn deer, and the fact
that he is law abiding citizen made the
report seem incredible. yet there was the
evidence in the wagon, seen by several
The report reached the ears of the game
warden, and his Investigations led him
to the livery stable, where Mr.. Tucker
! reluctantly admitted that he saw the
deer"
Game Warden Metealf then summoned
| Sheriff Fred Cressy, and yesterday after
/ noon the two officers visited Mr.. kall's
home on Birge street. The warden po
litely informed Mrs Kali, who answered
his ring, that he had come over to get 8
| look at Linde's deer.
| Certainly" said Mrs. Kali with :
hearty laugh, and then led the way tt
the rear of the house where three goat
in pen cast wondering glances at tn
| strangers.

Will Try to Kill All Com

Will Then Try to Pass
Reservation of Ratifica-
ton and Compromise
with Republicans - Says
President Can pigeon
hole" 1t if Unsatisfactory

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-SenatOr
Hitchcock of Nebraska, the admins
tration leader in the treaty fight in the
senate, was summoned to the White
House today by President Wilson to
discuss the program of reservations
now under consideration by the senate.
President Wilson told Senator Hitch
cock that he would be entirely salts
fed with any reservations supporters
of the treaty might feel justified in ac-
cepting, provided they did not nullify
the league of nations covenant and
were designed for the purpose of in
terpreting the terms of the treaty.
The President, Senator Hitchcock
said, expressed ''his very strong ap-
proval" of what had been done to date
and agreed that no compromise would
be offered unless a deadlock was
reached on resolution of ratification.
Senator Hitchcock outlined his pro-
gram as first an endeavor to defeat the
reservations reported by the foreign re-
lations committee and if that failed
to vote down the resolution Of ratif.
cation containing them. His next move
would be to present a resolution of rati
fcation and should q deadlock ensuC
to attempt compromise with Repub
lican opponents.
Senator Hitchcock said if a resolution
of ratification containing the committee
reservations were adopted that woult
settle the fight so far as the senate wa
concerned. but that the President coul,
"pigeonhole " the treaty. He decline,
to speculate as to the probable course o
the President should the committee res
olution prevail
Senator Hitchcock was with the Pres
ident half an hour. Mr.. Wilson re
ceived him propped up in bed Senate

Positions

BOSTON, Nov. THE supreme
court today refused redress to the of
ficers of the Boston Policemen's union
who sought restoration to the positions

missioner Edwin Z. Curtis for union
afiiliation The court acted on the re-
quest of the former policemen headed
by President John f. MeInnis of the
union for a writ of mandamus to COM
pei the commissioner to restore them.
Judge Carroll held that they were not
entitled to reinstatement because they
had failed TO avail themselves of the

Staticians Predict the "Drys' Will
Garry at Least Two Proposals.
Close on Prohibition Amendment.

COLUMBUS, O.. Nov Actual re-
turns reported to the secretary of state
from GA out of S8 counties still shows
the "wets'' leading in all four of the
prohibition proposals submitted on
Tuesday to Ohio voters.
Statisticians in the Office of secre-
tary of state predict that at least one
of the proposals, the Crabbe state pro-
hibition enforcement act, will be won
by the "wets' and that the final re-
suits of the ratification of the state
legislature s endorsement of the fed
eral prohibition amendment will be
close. They say the other two propo
sails will be defeated by the ''drys'' as
the majorities are so small they vii
easily be overcome by the "a counties

Recent Cases
PLAINTIFF IN HORSE
CASE GIVEN $625

Against Kaiser Also Settled, Com
pleting Civil Jury Docket-C Criminal
Cases This Afternoon.

Terms of settlement have been agreed
upon in the Windham county court case
of Lisle NJ. Carpenter of Brattleboro
against the Central Vermont Railway Co.
The agreement is made in a more or less
general way and some details remain
| to be worked out SO that the terms are
not yet available for publication.
| This is one of the most important cases
that has appeared on the county court
docket in recent years. 1t was brought
Feb. 26, 1910, after Mr.. Carpenter had
been injured in an accident in the rail-
road yard at South Londonderry, which
resulted in the loss of one leg. In July,
1912, the jury returned a verdict for the
| plaintiff to recover S9,250. The case
went to the supreme court and was re-
versed and remanded. In April, 1916, the
fury found for the plaintiff to recover
1911 ,204.l5. The case again went to the
supreme court and was reversed and re-
manded in June of the present year.
The jury at about 2.30 O'Clock this
afternoon returned verdict for the
plaintiff to recover $625 in the case of
o. ID. Parker of South Londonderry
J against the American Railway Express
Co. This case had been on trial since
, Tuesday and was a suit to recover for
the loss of some horses, valued at ST.,
200, which were shipped from Philadel-
! phia to Mr.. Parker and which he
e claimed died as a result of improper
!, handling by the defendant.
Ell Judge A. E. Cudworth of South Lon
e donderry made the opening argument
t for the plaintiff yesterday afternoon,
followed by Judge T. E. O'Brien of Bel
lows Falls for the defendant. and the
closing argument was made by Judge
A. F. Schwenk of Brattleboro.
Judge Wilson charged the jury this
morning and the jury took the case
about $50 clock.
ri 1t was expected that following this
case the suit of Bruce Kaiser of Wards
lboro against Reuben Adams of Jamaica
would come on for trial, but it was an
nounced that terms of settlement had
e, been agreed upon in this case and in
lie suit by Mr.. Adams against Mr. Kais-
y er.
,s Adams sold Kaiser a farm, stock and
vs tools in May. 1913, fer 81, 900 and Kais
70 er paid $500 and gave a second mort
al gage on the farm to Adams, the mort
gage note being for $1,000 Kaiser
III Iatef brought SUIT claiming that Adams
lg mlsrepresented the farm and stock, ant
y Adams sued Kaiser on the mortgag,
e. note for $1,000.
es By the terms of the settlement Kais
