CORONER FINDS
 MERCURY ENUJF
 TO KILL VICTIMS

CHICAGO, April 1O.-Coroner Wolfe in statement tonight quoted, "A study of Dr. McNally's report on the vital organs of Mrs. Emma McClin- tock and Dr. Olson permits me to say that the amount of mercury found in their stomachs was sufficient to cause their deaths from mercurial poison ing. Examination of the prescriptions furnished by physicians at the time mercury was contained in the formu- las. Therefore it must have been administered with deadly intent by others than the physicians"

TWO 0LDTIMERS REST
 IN SEATTLE BONEYARD
STEAMERS UTOPIA AND CHlPPE-
 WA MOORED LAKE UNION.

SEATTLE, Apr. 10.-(AP). Three old vessels, which have been moored in Lake Union here after seeing years of service, await a problematic fate
 The wood stern-wheel steamer Bailey Gatzert, the oldest of the trio, may be put into service as an auto mobile ferry. It was built in 1890 in Ballard, former suburb of Se- attle, and named after the mayor. It was employed between Seattle and Tacoma and then sent to the Columbia river to operate between Portland and Astoria, Ore. Later it was an the Bremerton-Seattle run.
 Next in point of years is the wood steamer Utopia, built here in 1893 for service to the San Juan islands, Washington. During the Alaska gold rush in 1897 to 1899, the steamer carried hundreds of persons between Seattle and Dyea and Skagway, Al aska. On one trip the vessel had 300 passengers, although it's rating is less than 100
 The third is the steel steamer Chippewa, sister ship to the steam ships Iroquois and Sioux. The three were built in Toledo, o., in 1900, for service on the Great Lakes. The Chippewa was brought here in 1905. It is considered too expensive to ops crate.

miami GAINING,
SAYS ZEPP

]. Miami. one Of the high spots in
Florida's boom. il slowly overcom-
ing the Ills that have been b.
sieging 1t and is on its way TO
working out its own salvation, but
it is now suffering great deal,
according to Guy s. Zepp, manager
OF the Lewis homes service, VINO
has just returned from q trip 70
that city.
when we went to Florida Mr..
Zepp said, 1--WE had nothing to buy,
nothing. to sell, have no extensive
personal interests in the future or
the earnings of Florida. but we are
convinced that IL the ills that Flor
ida is subject to at present, Tor
which the responsibility lies out Of
the State, are corrected, such as re-
lieving the difficult postal condi-
tions.. and the normal operation OF
the present one-half Of q railroad
that leads into. the State, and a few
other difficulties Of similar cnarac-
ter, Florida will work out its own
salvation.
Next to these ills I would say
the greatest discomfort that the
dear public is experiencing 10
the lack of open highways from
the North into Miami. In the
meantime, realizing that the ini
mediate welfare of Florida depended
on getting vast quantities Of build
ing material into the State at
once, not at some future time,
the business public took the bull
by the horns and started bringing
ships to Miami regardless Of how
they could unload them, and when
the docks became jammed they
proceeded to unload on scows and
lighters which could be rum la the
various waterways. AS conse-
quence, Biscayne Bay today Is a
city of ships unloading and not q
question of how they are unload
ing, and the building material situa-
ton in the south Of Florida is
materially relieved.
Miami has been subjected to the
inconvience of having ) principal
highway, known as the West Dixie.
which is the main artery from the
North to the South, closed up for
the past couple of months and we
have no way Of telling how much
longer it will be closed, compelling
all this enormous traffic from the
North to the South to wind around
over narrow, tortuous highway
known as the East Dixie, to the
great discomfort and inconvenience
of all who want to enter or leave
Miami from the North. There is
no apparent reason for this condi-
ton in the world unless it might be
that those in authority have been
bought or subsidized by other in
terests who wish to embarass
Miami"

ascertain II his mother Is with
him.
Mrs. Arrison Is small, with black

COAL
PEACE IN
WEEK
Ry JAMES L. KILGALLEN
international News Service


NEW YORK. Dec. 2s,-Settle-
ment this week Of the bitter, long
drawn-out strike of $4,000 anthra-
cite coal miners was predicted by
informed observers today, on the
eve OF the joint conference of oI1-
orators and miners.
Union leaders and representatives
Of the operators will face each
other across the conference taoiC
In this city tomorrow, bitterly
hostile at the start. But, observers
predict, after the first furry or
resentment and the usual harsh
clash of words, the conferees will
get down to business and before
the week is ended reach an agree
ment which will send the men, who
have been on strike since Septem-
Der /, back to the mines"
Pressure Grows Stronger
= Pressure to end the most
caIamitous suspension in the his
tory OF anthracite coal mining has
been growing hourly. This pressure
has come largely from the anthra-
cite coal region of Pennsylvania,
hard hit in a business way by the
strike, and has been brought to
bear upon operators as well as
union leaders.
The operators and miners will go
into the conference in a belligerent
frame of mind. Representatives of
the operators will openly scott at
the Pinchot peace plan, accepted
by the miners as a basis Of nego-
tiations. while the miners are ex-
pected to indicate their displeasure
at the action Of the operators in
putting advertisements in newspa-
pers appearing in the coal regions
sunday announcing that the men
could 20 back. to work at once at
their old pay pending the outcome
Of the negotiations.
What Both Sides Want
The high lights OF the proposals
to be made by both sides tomorrow
are expected to be as follows:
The operators will demand imme-
date resumption of mining pending
the negotiation of a new contract.
They will insist on arbitration of
eli points in dispute not settled by
Joint negotiation.
They will reject the peace plan
made by Gov. Giff%d Pinchot of
Pennsylvania as Impractical"
They will fight for a five-year
agreement with provision for an
Annoal reimbursement of wages and
working conditions In the light OF
changing economic conditions.
The miners will ask the operators
70 consider the Pinchot plan as q
basis for negotiations.
The miners will express resent
naept over the publicity campaign
OF the operators to induce the
miners 10 go back to work.
They will demand continuance Of
the "check-off' system by which

Stewart on Christmas Eve. A
woman and another soldier will
also be arrested shortly In con-
nection with the case.
Sam Griffin, colored. was shot
yesterday by Joe Smiley, also
colored, in an alteration which
took place at the home OF Clal ence
Reynolds in Jefferson street. Ac-
cording to the witnesses IN police
court this morning, Smiley shot
Griffin twice In the abdomen and
in the leg. Griffin died about half
an hour after being taken to the
Alexandria Hospital. Smiley was
held for the grand jury on q
charge of murder.
Judge Howard w. Smith, of the
Corporation Court, is hearing the
plea Of Walter Mcdonald, 17-year-
old slayer, to be sent to the State
reform school instead OF the peni-
tertiary to serve his fivG.year
sentence.
1t is probable that the city
council at its next meeting Will
take steps to raise the city's half Of
the $4,000 needed for the new
bridge over Hunting Creek. The
State highway commission has
recommended an appropriation of
$35. 900 of State funds and the city
had agreed to raise the rest

Approximately 5000 automobiles

commission. In the past forty-eight

touobiIe Association, declared ~

said, the association had answered
500 appeals for assistance.
Fifty men have been kept con.
stantly at work answering the calls
that came into the association 8
office as fast as. four or five a
minute, the manager said.
The cause of most Of this trouble
was with the automobile owner,
Mr.. Smith said. Despite the fact
that the District OF Columbia dlvi-
sion Of the association has been
sending out warnings for the past
two weeks, the motorists have con.
tinued driving their cars without
tabinr the necessary precautions to
keep them from freezing.
IN most cases, the trouble was
due to low batteries or frozen
radiators. Batteries that are not
charged to the limit will not func-
ton well in cold weather and II
they are very low they will not
turn the engine over at all.
Caught in the storm last night,
Washington motorists also dis
covered that there was scarcity
OF garage space in the city. One
man tried four garages in LIS
neighborhood last night and
couldn't find room enough to stick
the nose of his Kivver In out Of

his engine froze so tight 1t failed
