The committee was named after ihe Indiana district convention late yesterday voted almost unanimously to make peace overtures to the operators in an effort to avoid a shutdown of the mines on April 1. District representatives on the international wage scale committee in reporting to the convention on the futile Miami joint wage conference recommended renewed efforts to come to terms with the Indiana operators. The committee selected by the convention will make proposals to the operators for a district wage conference at an early date. Officials of the Indiana Bituminous Coal Operators Association refused to discuss the miners’ move until a formal proposal is laid before them. Tyler G. Lawton, Indiana district president, explained that any agreement. reached at a district conference with the operators will await approval of the international policy committee of the United Mine Workers before it becomes effective. ————o — CROARKIN LETS LIFE SENTENCE (Cu'Tivrßn mow rtfiß nvßi started weeping.

He was subject to frequent trials and punishments.

The imagination of the Celts has surrounded their patron saint with many picturesque legends. It has been solemnly recorded that at his death, so great was h's. glory, that there was no night for 12 days. ~. - o FATHER ADMITS HE KILLED HIS TWO CHILDREN ICOVTIVI'KD FROM Ptfiß nvm session. “Then I lost my nerve.” The dual murder, however, has brought a reconciliation with his wife. “I intended to commit suicide and didn’t want to leave the babies to face the world alone,’ 1 Scholl related. "Vivian agreed to die with nte. Donald was too young to understand.” He explained that he failed to kill himself partly through loss of nerve and partially because he wanted to see his wife before he died. After his capture by Chicago detectives he met her in the office of Chief of Detectives William Schoemakor of Chicago. In telling details of the double slaying Scholl said that because saturated towels of ether and chloroform failed to blot out the children’s lives he siruiiglcu them. “Vivian told me just before, ‘Daddy, I know you can’t live without mama, so if you want to die I’ll die with you’,” he said. * > • o No other blue like Rus's Bleaching Blue.

On one side is a host of coal min" operators composing the southwest^ <rn coal operators’ association, seeking a lower wage scale agreement for coal mining in the states of Missouri, Kan-:is and Arkansas. On the other side is the figure of John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers of America. Lewis refused comment on the parley and refused to predict the outcome. It is understood he will insist on a renewal of the Jacksonville wage agreement in the three states. The operators’ who claim they are fighting witli their backs to the wall to preserve the coal market in the face of competition with other fuels, claim the scale cannot lie continued year .tftcr year. The workers argue that miners in Missouri, Kansas and Arkansas are employed only a part of the time and cannot live on a lower wage scale unless given full lime employment.

Mr. Hurst is a drug clerk and lives at the Pullman Hotel, Princeton, Ind. His everyday duties bring him in contact with all kinds of peopje and all kinds of medicine. Here is nis i own story of what Tanlao has done for him: "What I went through for years, he said, "I never want to endure again. My stomach seemed to go back on mo altogether. First, I had indigestion, sour stomach and bad taste in my mouth. Then came attacks of heartburn and dizzy spells. I practically quit eating, for the slightest morsel of food caused palpitation of the heart and difficult breathing. "My weight dropped from 130 lbs. to 113 lbs., was weak, listless and discouraged. I became cranky and irritable; my nerves were jumpy and I had spells of depression. I began to give up hope of ever being well again. “I tried all kinds of remedies without success. Even Tanlao at first didn’t seem to help much, But after the third bottle I noticed a marked improvement. 9 All the distressing conditions gradually disappeared and I began to recover my lost weight. Now I’m 136 lbs. and work hard every day, and feel tip-top in every way. I'm a new man. What I’m telling you about Tanlao is no hearsay:
