MINERS SEEK OTHER JOBS.
Many Strikers Leaving Homes in
Wilkes-Barre District.

WILKESBARRE. Pa. April 4.-The
fourth day of the suspension of opera
tions in the anthracite coal fields OF
Pennsylvania found many of the one
hundred and fifty-f1ye thousand idle
mine workers seeking employment in
other local Industries. Others were
preparing to leave the district, some
for their old homes in foreign coun-
tries. Large numbers already have
left and each departing train carries
it's quota Many withdrew their saw
ings from the banks and said they did
not expect to return.
Except for maintenance forces ex-
empted under the suspension order.
mines in the three hard coal districts
were deserted. None of the collieries
has attempted to operate and every
where quiet prevails. Reports from
ALI sections said the idle men were
obeying the Injunction of their union
yards as one means of avoiding
trouble. At Scotch Valley. near
Bloomsbury. where it was said the
Beaver Valley Coal Company would
atternpt to run, no move was made TO
work.
Local union oficials of the three
districts today were making efforts
to have re-instated certain main
tenance forces, who had been re-
placed by the monthly men and
officials of the collieries. Complaint
that this had been done by some of
the companies was made by tho dis
trict presidents to the operators at
their conference in New York The
operators engaged in the negotia-
tions have declared against, such
practice and were said to have as
sured the miners representatives
that the matter would be adjusted
quickly.
Most railroads piercing the coal
region are cutting down their
forces as a result of the tie-up.
Hundreds of coal train crews have
been laid OF and a large number
of clerks and repairmen will be af-
fected If the suspension is long con-
tinued The Erie shops at Susque-
hanna and Dunmore have been tenn

French Scientist Makes the Assertion
That the Real Color Of the Sun

All the daylight comes from the sun.

The direct light, that which forms the

made up Of all that the direct radia-

The blue OF the sky is taken from
the sun Itself and the result Is that
we do not see the royal star under Its

science will perhaps realize, we could
rise about a hundred kilometers above

And this vision of science perfect

that the radiant surface, the photo

BOSTON, March 1S.-The setting
for the suicide by poison of Pauline
Virginia Clark was q subject of po-
lice inquiry today. The authorities
had established, they said. that the
young woman who, as u model a few
years ago. was declared by Sculptors
to be almost perfect in form, ended
her life while drinking with u group
of friends in her apartment. These
friends included Bayard Wharton OF
Philadelphia. student at Harvard
College. where he has been active In
athletics. and Otto Halder Larsen OF
Christiania, Norway, student at
Massachusetts Institute of Technolo-
Gy.
Wharton has given his account of
the tragedy, butt the police say that
Larsen disappeared soon after efforts
to rcSuSitate Miss Clark failed.
Divorced Year Ago.

ment to James Davis a Harvard stu

her friends to the party of Wednesday
night. phoning him at his Harvard
dormitory. She had been melancholy
since her divorce and in financial diff
hcultieS recently.
Although it appears now she set
the scene OF her suicide, she said
nothing to him that indicated NOR
bidness that night, Wharton said.
She did show him two bottles, one
of which, she said. contained per-
fume. The other she did not de-
scribe.
Threatened to Take Life.
Medical Examiner Magrath said
Miss Clark had displayed Il bottle to
d young woman friend several days
ago. saying there was enough poison
in it to kill an army" When she
WAS through with life, she said, she
would use it.
1t was early Thursday morning when
the young woman. sitting with Whar-
ton and Larsen while they munched
sandwiches and drank, collapsed, the
former said. She made no remarks
indicating her intention to take her
life. he added. and, SO far as known,
died without making statement
Other members of the party who
have been questioned by the police
