SICK EIGHT MONTHS
Acute Nausea. Now Suffered by Patti

comes Weaker Daily.

Charlottesville, Va. Oct. 30
Senator Martin at an early hour
this morning was believed. to be
nearing the end. His family and
close friends were near. All indi-
cations point to the approach CT
the Grim Reaper.
HeJ has been i'll eight months,
thugh ne never relinquished his ac-
tive duties as @in0rty leader in
the senate, until the end Of May.
following an attack Of influenza,
which. with bronchial trouble that
developed in February. left him with
weak heart.
On June lst he entered the Uni
versity Hospital. where his physic-
ian, DR.. John Stage Davis. found
some uraemia and dabetis. The
latter disappeared under treatment,
but week ago uraemia returned
and the heart began to grow weak
cr.
Nausea set in yesterday, and as
it became acute it was at once APP
parent that the end was near. The
senator fought, however, and re-
fused to acknowledge that the
Reaper was near at hand. Too
weak, hardly to stand, he left his
bed more than once during the day,
and when time came for the even
ing meal he made bold attempt to
partake of food His militant spirit
amazed all in the sick room.

REVIVAL MEETING

at the meeting at the First Bap-
tist Church last night there, was a
high tide of religious feeling which
awakened sinners and backsliders
alike. The pastor, Rev. DR.. f. B.
Jackson. remarked that he had
never seen such a demonstration
so early in revival service. The
auditorium overflows and IS rapidly
filling the galleries.
Rev. Mr.. Stewart is making his
magnetic personality felt. He spoke
with unusual power and effective
ness. His text was: Come thou
blessed of the Lord, wherefore STAN
dest thou without The court
ship of Isaac through Eliezer was
composed to that Of Miles Standlsh
through John Alden. The hand of
the Lord was in the marriage OF
Isaac however. as shown by the
text. He made the question, why
standest thou without" a basis for
modern excuses. He said If the
lover should try to discover possible
excuses for not giving emphatic
consent at the marriage altar ne
would be the subject of ridicule, and
would not be fit to enter into the
sacred marriage relation. So with
the one who ought to be married to
Christi there is any hesitation
about a full committal then the
ceremony must not proceed. There
was the closest attention given
every word as he named one eX-
cuse after another, why men nod
back from this great Christian adj
venture. Mr.. Stewart was particu-
larlv severe on those who remained
out of church because there are
hvpocritcs in it. He remarked that
Christ predicted just this thing, and
said that only good things were
worth countcrfeiting. Then in a
final appeal to those who persisted
in this excuse he added: Come on
with us and we will just have one
more hypocrite." The tide of power
is evidently rising and the meeting
bids fair to rival some cf the great
est meetings held in Alexandria.
Tonight he will take as his topic
"The Troubles of Politician"

Fuel Administration, With
Price Fixing, To Be
Revived
TO PROTECT WORKERS
Will in no Way Impair General Right
to Strike-Miners' Action Places
Them Outside Pale Of Law.

The government moved swiftly last
night in its announced intention to
prevent the coal strike
Following the receipt of word from
Indianapolis where the international
executive board of the United Mine
Workers was in session yesterday that
the strike order, set for November /,
would not be rescinded, Attorney Gen
eral Palmer on behalf of the admins
tration, declared in a statement that
''every resource of the Federal Gov
ernment will be brought to- bear to
prevent the national disaster which
would inevitably result from the ces-
sation of mining operations"
Mr.. Palmer issued his statement
after a meeting in which all men,
bers of the Cabinet, with the excep-
tion of those who accompanied the
King and Queen of the Belgians in
their visit to Mount Vernon this af-
ternon were present.
The government will act with the
powers conferred on the President by
the food and fuel control acts.
Protection will be furnished those
miners who refuse to carry out the
strike order and remain at their
work. This means that troops will
be sent to coal producing States if
violent measures are adopted by the
miners unions to swell the ranks of
the strikers.
One of the first steps by the Presi-
dert, however, win be for the pro-
tect;on Of the general public. Dr.
Harry A. Garfield, United States Fuel
, Administrator, announced last night
that he would advise the President
to reinstate Immediately the maxi
mum government prices on b:tumi-
nous coal.
Soft coal prices at present are nigh
er. than the governments maximum
prices which were suspended February
l. The Presidents action. Dr. Gar
field said, will nullify any contracts
made since, FebruarX l. for coal at
prices. higher than the governments
old maximum prices. ~
indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 3O.-The
order for nationwide coal strike
for Frlidayacannot be rescinaed. This
was .eheered last night by the eighty
-four representatives of the United
Mine Workers of America who spent
the day in conference. 1t was their
answer to President Wilson's demand
that the strike order be recalled.
"The issue. has been made and it
must be settled upon the field of in
dustrial battle" said. the statement
addressed to the, public. "Responsi-
biHty rests with: the coal barons
: alone"
The action of the conference means
that unless the operators yield at
the last hour or the government
comes forward with some final plan
that both sides will accept, so per
cent of the bituminous coal mines
of the nation will suspend operations
November l. More than 100000 miners
will be affected. The consequent loss
of production is estimated at 4O,000,-
900 tons per month.
Something like 70 per cent OF the
coal miners of the country are mem
bers Of the union.

ALLIES TO GET HUN SHIPS
Argentina Will Turn Over Six In

Buenos Aires. Oct. 30.-The six
German merchant ships which took
refuge in Argentine ports during
the war will be delivered to the Al

ion is the result of diplomatic ncgo-

months to determine the fate OF the

The ships are unable to proceed

Dutch tugs are therefore expected
here soon to tow. the vessels to Ger
