MINERS AWAITING TUESDAY MEETING
A. F. |. Leader Thinks Strike
 Will End Soon

New York, Dec 2S P>--Repre- sontatives of anthracite operators and miners were quartcrcd in sep arato hotels here today. preparing programs for the joint meeting to- morrow when another effort will bo made 10 reach settlement of the controversy which has stopped the out put of hard coal since Sept. 1.
 While spokesmen for both groups maintained silence as to the basis Of the discussion, experienced observers professcd optimism as to the out come. Chief among these was Wi!- liam Green. president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, who pre- dicted the strike would be ended in 10 days.
 Some reports say that the miners are prepared to insist the Pinchot plan be made the basis of ncgotla- ton. This plan. to which the opera tors have objected strenuoualy here tofore, involves the check-off, if in HlN Niuudl NOl h'l5 bSlt anu all ll- quiry to determine whether wages can be raised without increasing the price of coal.
 The operators are expected to lay before the conference substantially the proposal outlined in advertise monts throughout the mining re- zion; immediate resumption of work at the wage scale in force when the men laid down their tools, and re- sumption of conferences on a new contract at the point where they were broken off at Atlantic City. Miners Spokcsmcn have criticized these advertisements as attempts to prejudice the conference. Tho min- CTS spolSosmpn insist the men will not be stampedcd back 10 work.
 Catholic priests who last week sent letters urging a settlement 10 President Lewis and Major w. w., Iuglis. chairman of the operators committee. yesterday cancelled a meeting proposed Wednesday at which priests of the non-Engli9h speaking congregations of the an- thracitc region were 10 take dras- lie action"
 They issued another letter 10 the two leaders. rcitorating inc assor- tion that the large majority Of min CTS hoped for an carly settlement.
 At Ha2Icton. Pa. the Rev. J. E. Pagan, rector of St. Gabricls church. issued q statement in which he expressed regret over the action of English-speaking priests who en- dorsed the position taken by tho non English speaking clerGymon.
 "I can safely assure the mine workers of the cordial and unflinch- ing support of the unsclhsh priests of the Scranton diocese" Father Pagan said.
 MT. Greens observation was made at his home at Coshocton, Ohio, where he is spending the holidayf with his family. With the coal con- 'rovcrsy settled, he saId, organized 'abor would not have any serious Hscord during 1926.
 With the advent of the first real cold wave of the season. the miners oamilirs were reported 10 be suffer ing as much. if not more than other ritizrns, since their home storage -paces are small and they often can unt E"t coal any more quickly than my other class of citizens.

New Arrival in U. s. Claims
 Both and Produces Proof

New York. Dec. 2S Rt--AlthouGh born an American citizen, Count By ron khun do Prorok asserts ho has q legal right to his title.
 Asserting his legal possession of certain objects winch tho governor general of Algeria charged he brought 10 the United states despite rigid regulation against their export, Count do Prorok today placed in the i hands of Maxine Mogcndre, French consul general in New York, u letter 1 in which he sets forth how he came by tho title.
 "I am an American citizen, horn ! in Mexico City in lS9G." the count said. My father was Leon S, Kuhn, a naturalizcd American citizen who had large distiiing interests in Mex leo City, My mother was Thorcse , de Prorok, whose brother Count 1 Thcohllc Koncrsld do prorok, le. | gally adopted me. Since my adop- ton l have used the name ihun de 1 Prorok and, since the death Of my adopted father, his title has dcyolv- cd upon me-"
 In making an announcement that he was looking for "an American citizens, Charles Byron Cuncs, known as Count de prorok." the governor general charged that Cunes "carriod off certain archacolo- gical discoveries mado in Algerian sub.soil, notably four mummics un- earthod at Hoggar,"
 The count, who, pending his de parture on Q lecture tour, is staying | with his wife at the home of her father, William r. Kenny, on Fifth avenue, denied he brought any mum mics or skeletons to this country and listed the objects which he said an official of the French ministry of public instruction approved his bringing 10 the United States for cx- hibit during his tour
 The failure of the Algerian eXccu- tive 10 read official reports on tho archaeological expedition to Hogan in the Sahara was given by Count de Prorok as the probable cause of the misunderstanding" which has arisen.
 Although he was reported upon arrival here on the LcViathan De. ccmber q to have said he haG brought with him the skeletons oi two ancient Taurog nobies and jew. elry taken from the tomb of Queer Tin Hanan, Count Prorok in his let ter listed bracelets. necklaces. sa, tuary. fragments of a skull, vases and arrowheads as the objects ht brought over with the consent O.
