Last of Hard Coal
Figures Submitted

New York, April 13-The battle of
figures which has been raging for
more than four weeks in the anthra-
cite wage negotiations was brought
to a close today, when the mine
operators presented the last of their
data for the purpose of refuting
statistics submitted by the miners,
showing that their earnings were
not responsible for the high price of
hard coal to the public.
When the subcommittee appointed
to negotiate the new contract here
tonight, it was understood that the
declarations were about ready to be
brought forward. The greater. part
of the data submitted by the opera
tors today was in reply to the argu-
ment made by the miners to effect
that so per cent of the anthracite
mine owners tripled their profits by
controlling their own transportation
systems and selling agencies.

among the organizers of the Maine
Festival chorus which has it's incep-
ton among party of musical enthu-
siasts in the Boothby apartments at
the Falmouth hotel in Portland.
"The Cecilia Club would record not
as a matter of boasting, but as plain
statement of historical fact that IL
was not organized to join the Maine
Festival Chorus, but was already in
existence when the festival move
ments was inaugurated. It owes it's
existence to the persistent labors Of
Mrs. George F Davies and Mrs
Frank B. Hubbard, who secured
nineteen persons who were orga nizec
as the Cecilia Club, October Is, 1896.
The officers elected were: w. C,
Philbrook, president; Elwood T. Wy
man, vice president; Mrs. George F.
Davies, secretary and treasurer. The
directors were: Mrs. Frank B. Hub
bard. Miss Ella Downer, Miss Susie
F'ogarty, Mrs. J. H. Knox and Mrs.
George A. Kennison.
The club was small and heroic
labors devolved upon its officers, yet
such was their success that after
joining the Maine Festival Chorus In
January. 1897. and careful training.
under Prof. George Pratt Maxim,
with a full chorus of eighty voices
it sang at the. Bangor Festival in Oc-
tober, 1897. During the same year
two successful concerts were given.
Prof. Carleton b. Stetson became
president fthe club in 1898, continu-
ing in efficient leadership until his
resignation in 1902. Mrs. Nellie Web
Der (now Mrs. Hascall S. Hall) was
the first pianist. After her removal
from the city, Mrs. Franklin w.
Johnson was elected and gave three
years of work characterized by SYM
pathetic insight as we'll as accurate
and brilliant performance. Prof.
Maxim conducted the club for three
seasons with great fidelity and sue
cess. His successor was Prof.
Llewellyn B. Cain of this city, whose
work and ability were such as to Sc
cure more fiattering offers from
Portland and other cities which led
to his withdrawal. His successor
was DR.. Latham True of Portland.
THE club has participated in each
of the Maine Music Festivals, and
has given concerts in the city which
have been greatly enjoyed. 1t has
rendered aid on several patriotic oc-,
casions and it's singing was one of
the features of the Waterville Gem
tennial celebration. 1t has been for
tunate in it's officers and directors.
Mrs. Davies who gave so much
thought and labor to it's interests
served as secretary until 1901 when
i'll health caused her to resign. The
club also owes very much to the eff
forts of Mr. Bates and Mr.. Block. A
great deal of strength has been con-
tributed to the club by it's Fairfield
members. The membership of the
club in 1902 was about eighty.
The present officers If the club
are: President, Mrs. +. e. Boothby:
vice president, Rev. c. F. Robinson;
