London, April 18th. -Governmental
authorities were anxious today to reopen
negotiations between the miners and
the owners of collieries throughout the
United Kingdom with the hope of bring

question, which caused the strike of
miners on April LIST, and came near
involving Great Britain last week in

little probability however, that the mem

the Government officials or mine
owners before mex Friday when re
representatives. of the British miners
will confer on the situation in this

is facing a serious coal shortage, and

HONOR AMONG THIEVES.

Is there honor among thieves? This
old question is being tested now I'm
an interesting case in New York city.
a few days ago Colonel h. Donald
son, publisher Of a theatrical paper.
was robbed OF 5000 worth of jew
eiry on a railroad train. The colonel.
ii will be remembered. has done much
welfare work for former otnvicts.
At the present time. even. he has sew
eral in his employ. He has always
been willing to give hand to the man
down. and almost out.
One OF these men, formerly Known
In the underworld as Jimmy the
trusty," who now is employed by
Colonel Donaldson, became so enraged
when he learned that the man who
had benefited crooks had been robbed
by one. that he placed advertisements
in papers calling for the thief to re-
turn the jewels and prove that there
is honor even among thieves"
Since my release from prison. this
man said, "it has been my ambition
to convince the public that crime is
due to lack of useful training and en-
vironment. and that often man or
woman who has committed crime
in a moment of impulse would will
ingly restore the ill-gotten plunder
if it could be done without fear OF
arrest"
OF course one swallow does not
make a summer. Perhaps the thief
who took Colonel Donaldson's jewels
may not read the papers containing
the appeals made by Jimmy the
Trusty" But it would be a wonder

if he returned THE swag?". Think

PROTECTION FROM FIRE.

panies are delaying the purchase Of

decisions. II happens frequently that
a smaller city is forced to call upon
a larger one for fire fighting appa-
ratus when great confiagratbons
threaten. Delaware is such small
State that Wilmington fire com
pany could be loaded onto a fiat car
and transported to almost any centre
within a few hours time, if the ne
cessity arose. But this action would
be useless if our hose couplings did
not fit those of other places. This
matter of fire protection is something
which all of us take an interest in.
and we believe that it is only fair
that the Wilmington companies should
stand In readiness TO aid the smaller
communities in cases of great danger.
This is done in other sections of the
