THINK MINERS WILL
 UPHOLD LEADERS Vote Today on Settlement of Coal
 Strike by Officials BACK UP THE PRESIDENT
National Convention in Ohio Probably Will Vote an Overwhelming En- dorsement of Their Officials Con- duct During Mining Trouble.

Columbus, O., Jan. 6.-Debate on the motion before the convention of United Mine Workers to affirm the ac- tion of the international officers in ac- cepting the presidents proposal of set clement of the soft coal strike con- tinued today with chances favoring a favorable vote on the motion late to- day.
 The action of the officers of the United Mine Workers in abandoning the strike and accepting the proposal of the president for a 4 per cent. ad- vance and the appointment of a com- mission to arbitrate all differences will be affirmed by an overwhelming vote in the national convention, it is pre- 7dicted by leaders from the various states.
 Frank Harrington, president of the Illinois miners, predicted adoption of the motion made by President Philip Murray of the Pennsylvania miners to affirm the action of the officers by 90 per cent. of the miners.
 There was no organized opposition to the proposed endorsement of the policy pursued by the national officers in the recent crisis.
 Acting President John L. Lewis has decided, however, to allow all those who have any grievance to "get it out of their systems" as he expressed it, and much of the day may be consum- ed in hearing speeches on the subject.

WOOD ALCOHOL DIB NOT KILL MRS. LOPS Whiskey, Blamed By Illus band, is Found to. Be
 s k \.
 Pure By Chemist.

The analysis of the whiskey which was taken by Mrs. Joseph Lops of Burritt street a few minutes before her death last Friday night, has been made by State Chemist Bailey of New Ha- ven. The report submitted to Medical Examiner Harry A. Elcock shows that the whiskey was pure and in no way responsible for the death of the wom- an. Considerable scare was created by the report that the woman died of the effects of the whiskey. Last Saturday morning a man called at the police station and made report of the affair, charging that the whiskey was pur- chased at a local drug store. This caused the authorities to start an in veStigation at once.
 Medical Examiner EIcock was called in the case, and after viewing the re- mains of the woman, who had given birth to a child last Friday afternoon, he found that she had died of uraemic poisoning. However, he did not render a report until every phasesof. the case had been gone into. He. com nnunfcat- ed with Prosecutor George W. Klett and it was decided to sendsthe whiskey to New Haven for analysis:
 The report of Chemist. Bailey sets aside all fears of wood alcohol being contained in the liquor sold by the To- cal druggist, and also exonerates him from any suspicion. The report shows the liquor to be of a high quality.
 In connection with the above mat ter, it may be added that the drug store of Miller and Hanson on Church street where the whiskey was pur- chased, is one of the old established pha rmacies in the city. The proprie- tors are men who are reliable in their line, and the character of goods dis pensed at the place, has proven sat- isfactory to the large patronage the firm enjoys .5-

VIII Destroy ships.

London, Jan. 6.--German warsh:ps sunk by their officers in Scapa Fle,Y will be blown up soon, it was stated here today. The decision to dispose Of the vessels in this way followed the completion of investigations by q special commission representing all Fof the Allies. Experts employed By the salvage department of the British admiralty spent several weeks taking soundings in Scapa Flow, and the in = formation they furnished to the com- mission was used as a basis to deter mine whether the ships should be raised or destroyed. .----
 Disposes of Question.
 The decision announced to blow up the German ships sunk in Scapa Flow apparently disposes finally of ques- tion which has caused 8 great deal of discussion in all of the allied coun- tries. The almost insuperable task of raising the vessels and the possibility that the sa1vaged materials would not be of great value were believed to have weighed heavily in favor of de- stroying the vessels by explosives.
 Happened Last June.
 Scuttling of the units of the Ger man fleet interned at Scapa Flow oc- cured on June zI, 1SlS, ana was carefully arranged by officers and crews. Nine battleships, five battle cruisers, eight light cruisers and numerous smaller craft were sunk. while others went ashore in a half sunken condition. All explosives had been rem owed from the vessels by all lied officers and the only means oi destroying the fleet was by opening the seacocks. The ships went dowr \ slowly with the German flag, whicl the crews had hoisted, showing al the mastheads. The flying of a red flag at noon was q signal for the wholesale SinkingS.

At this time of year most people

the body during the long winter.
We eat too much meat, with little
or no green vegetables.
Bloodless people, thin, anemic
people, those with pale cheeks and
lips, who have a poor appetite and
feel that tired, worn cor feverish
condition in the spring-time of the
year, should try the refreshing tonic
powers of a good alternative and
blood purifier. Such a tonic as
druggists have sold for fifty years,
is DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis

that can be obtained in tablet or
