tive in the Stony Fork local. He in turn referred me to w. J. Stone, of Pineville. counsel for the Ma tional Miners union.
 Pineville is f miles from Middle boro and there I found Stone in an alley outside of garage. He warned me that if I was seen on the streets with him I probably would be arrested, but finally agreed to direct me to where some of the miners would be meeting that evening.
 Just after dusk they began to assemble in a small room at the end of a rickety flight of stairs lighted by single feeble electric bulb and containing a stove In which there was no fire. Each man arrived alone or with only one comrade and guards were posted at the bottom of the stairs and al the door. Nick Surmes. who claim ed his furniture had been thrown out of his house and his family scattered, said:
 We struck on Jan 1 for a min mum wage of S4 a day, for the right to organize and picket and to have our own check-weighman at the tipple of every mine". (the check weighman is the man who measures the coal and determines how much each miner earns at a rate of about 35 cents car). "Ever since the strike started we've been bounded by the deputies and We have to change officers once a week to keep our men from being thrown in jail. Since then the deputy sher- ifs and the county Officials have tried to starve us. They have de- nied us relief at the. rites office and they had stoppsd trucks car- rying food and clothing from our Knoxville headquarters"
 Chester Hoskins, a 24-year-old youth who was a church member until recently said !: :.s. <.
 i've had two days work since August and no money. don't know much about this communism and I ain't worrying about God, but if the communists can get me something to eat Pm for 'em, and I'll mash in the mouth of any dep- uty that tries to keep me from doin' it."
 Figures were brought forward intended to prove that there were 1000 members of the National Mi ners union in Bell and Harlan counties, many of whom were un- employed at the time of the Jan- uary strike. The union estimates that 2000 men walked out of the mines on that strike.
 D. M. Bingham, who was asso- ciated with Stone in the defense of the National Miners union pris- oners, said:
 These boys are not getting 2 chance to organize their strike ant they haven't. got any constitution al rights at all. Smith (Walter B Smith, country attorney) and hi! gang are driving them into hid ing and gun thugs are refusing to let them come out.'
 The meeting had been in progress 30 minutes when a small boy slip ped through the door and said:

This made total disbursements from the spe- CiaI and bond funds for the year of $959,174.90, leaving a cash bal ance as of December 31, amount ing to $'355,
 The statement as to the surplus resource sinking funds show that On January 1, 1881, there was available cash amounting to $227,- 413.93. Receipts in the funds dur ing the year from the collection o1 back taxes and assessments to- tailed $669,525.82. The total cash resources of the funds for the year amounted to $896,939.75.
 The disbursements from the sur plus resource sinking funds for the year were as follows: Paid to gen. eral funds, amount equal to 1930 cash deficit, $438,96O.41; loan to general funds, $400,000; expenses of the charter commission, $11,- 704.59; debts of Hopeville. Reid vile and East Farms school dis tricts owing as of December 31, 1880, $5,572.18; miscellaneous 1929-1930 bills, s2,5O4.S3; transfers to general fund appropriations, S49,034.51. These items make total disbursements from the funds of $907,776.52, leaving cash over- draft as of December 31, 1881, of $1O,836.77.
 The report issued to-day also goes into detail on the public ex- pendahle funds, the various trust funds, the bond funds and the funded debt.
 While the expenditures during 1881 were s204.519.73 greater than the appropriations, it is expected this sum win be cut down consid- erably when expenditures made in anticipation of bond sales are talk en care of when the bond money is actually received. For instance the city spent $6,305.45 for pipe for the West Side pumping station. When the pumping station bonds are sold this money will go back into the city treasury. Several oth- CT instances of similar nature are noted in the 1881 annual report.
 However, there will be an ex- cess of expenditure over appropri- ations and practically all of this is explainable under the heading "de- Eression". The charity department children's home commission Brookside home and other agencies performing relief work were forced to exceed appropriations to meet demands for Humanitarian work This condition exists in every city and town in the country and does not apply alone to Waterbury. The city was also forced to keep up its street department personnel to 2 greater level than would ordinarily have been necessary had times been better. This also brought UT the current expenses to their leve over the appropriations.
 The over-expenditure item in the 1881 budget will be taken care of of course, from the 1882 surplus resource sinking fund which wa: created to take care of just such situations.
 To-day's report of the mayor and controller is just one dealing with cash. Within a short time the auditors report showing full pic ture of the city's business for 1881 will be issued. The auditors arc TOW. working on this report.

Senator Barkley

 The compromise came after 3 poll showed a deadlock likely. The Roosevelt group then withdrew un- der leadership of James A. Farley manager of the New York gover- nor's campaign, and conferred with Roosevelt by long distance tele- phone. Then the agreement was reached.
 Political observers who watched the meeting closely as an indica- tion of the place of the Smith fac- tion in the ''stop Roosevelt" move ment found the meeting indecisive It was apparent the desire for par ty harmony was stronger than that to force an open break.
 Senator Barkley was nominated by former Gov Harry Byrd ofSVir- ginia. a Roosevelt supporter. Rob- ert Jackson of New Hampshire, al- so a Roosevelt man. nominated Shouse.
 Committee members in attend ance included Chairman Shouse, Byrd, Jackson, Hague, Archibald McNeil, Connecticut.
 Third Party in Connecticut
 Hartford, Conn, April 5.-CUP) A third party state ticket headed by Professor Albert Levitt of Red- ding may be offered in the fall election it became known here to- day after a meeting of the pro- gressive republican state commit tee. q.
 Such ticket will be offered only ranks of the national republican party. resulting in national third party movement and capture of the state democratic organization by the "old guard faction. according to George w. Hull of Burlington, a member of the committee.
 The committee as a whole is not in agreement. with Levitt in regard to Governor Wilbur L. Cross, Hull said. Levitt declared Governor Cross "sold out" to the republicans in a recent address at Yale univer- sity.
 The committee, excepting Levitt, called upon the governor yester- day asked for calling of a special session of the general assembly to take up unemployment. alleged public utility abuses, stock gam bling and more equitable distribu- ton of taxes. Governor Cross re- iterated his statements that he sees no advantage in calling ia special session before the regular session next January.

 Public interest in the arrival of Schoeffel caused reporters to bounce on every male with a Yankee accent or any man whose clothing indicated that he might have come from New Jer- sey.
 A Nr Hayes, an American stop ping at the Central hotel, com plained to the management that he was forced to lock himself in his room and that he was weary of insisting that he was not Major Schoeffel,

stigation in quiet, but said:
 "The police have had no contact with the kidnapers and have re- ceived no information, of any kind about the return of the baby. The activities in Marthas Vineyard have not been requested by these headquarters and are probably an independent investigation by some other departments"
 There was increased optimism apparent. John Grier Hibben, president of Princeton university and a friend of the family, visited the Sourland mansion last night and reported an increasing hope fulness. Lindbergh's two mysteri- ous visits plus the reports from Martha's Vineyard of seaplane and Lindbergh's private craft hav- ing been seen scouting the waters there, added to optimism. Reports from the New England coast said the occupants of the seaplane- l identified by some as Lindbergh and Colonel Henry Breckinridge- apparently had been seeking pri- vate yacht.
 Last night it was reported that lights gleamed from the nursery from which the curly haired child
 was stolen. That room has been
 dark every night since March l,
 when the child was kidnapped. i The flyer was seen at 6:30 p. m ! last night when he entered an au-
 tomobile and drove away after
 landing his Lockheed airplane at Hasbrouck Heights, N. J.
 ! Where Lindbergh spent the re- maining hours until he was sighted
 travelling over the Providence road
 leading to his estate shortly after
 midnight was not known. At first
 it was believed he might have
 stopped at the home of Mrs
 Dwight w. Morrow in Englewood
 but person close to the Morrow
 family said Lindbergh had not been
 there during the past few days.
 Lindbergh with Colonel Henry
 Breckinridge. his legal adviser,
 hopped off from the Newark air
 port at ? p. m. yesterday. Later
 in the afternoon a plane bearing
 the marking NC--49 M. Lind
 bergh's number, was sighted over
 Martha's Vineyard, Mass. This is
 the same vicinity over which the
 lone eagle and three companions
 Were reported on an equally mys-
 terious flight Sunday.
 Added to these developments
 was a statement by John Grier
 Hibben. president of Princeton
 university, after he and Mrs Hib- I ben visited the Lindbergh home yesterday. 'I found an air of optimism pre- vailing at the Lindbergh house, he said.
 Hibben's visit had a sequel last night that aroused curiosity. Short ly after Il o'clock taxieab stop ped at the headline set up by state troopers on a road leading to the Hopewell estate. A youth who said he was a Princeton student asked to be admitted to the Lindbergh home. saying he was there on busi- ness for Dr Hibben.
 Troopers called the Lindbergh home. The young man was per- mitted to proceed to the house. Dr Hibben, asked about the youths visit to the Lindbergh home, said: {:
 I'm sorry can't discuss this thing. I can't tell you anything about it. I wish could" He also declined to give the students name.

On one occasion, the plaintiff said he saw his wife and the defendant coming out of the Cameo theater in Bristol and that he attempted to speak to his wife.
