Dead
Mine Workers of District No.
11, said Thursday. The question of distributing the work in the mines at Cass, Gilxnore and Dugger, Ind., has ^been up for some time and the ofif flclals of the mining company made a proposition Thursday which looks 4 favorable to the district officials. The matter will be taken up at the district board meeting- Saturday. "There are more than 250 employed "S-. at the (rilmore mine, ?.00 at the Cass «r! mine and about 250 at the Vandalia y"HViine No. 10, Dugger, Ind., who will TsJ*be effected by the agreement," Mr,
Stewart said. "These men would have been called out on a strike if the miners* officials and the company could not have reached an agreement. The proposition submitted to us looks fa^vorable and it may mean the opening ,* of the Lattas Creek mine which will {^employ about 180 men." ,% The dispute over the work resulted j- ^from the closing of parts of the niinee.
v't.|Under
the contract the company holds
it is not necessary to distribute the t^ork when a mine Is abandoned but only during a temporary shut down.

WHITMAN NOTE fill CASE

the Tennessee Coal & Iron and United States Steel Corporation merger. Over-ruling an objection by Mr. Nor ris, the court said the colonel had a right to explain the matter as there might have been some inference that there was something wrong in the con solidation of the two concerns. Col. Roosevelt closed the merger recital with: "I called in the newspapermen and told them of the action I had decided to take. The news was printed all over the country and the panic was stopped."
In reply to questions the colonel said: "I always consulted Mr. Piatt about appointing judges. I disregarded his voice on Judges, however, more than I did on anything else. Some of the judges I appointed I knew personally. On others I had the recommendation of men I knew or bar associations. In appointments to higher courts I always knew the man or knew all about him." "While you were governor or president was there any Invisible government on your part?" "There was not one particle," replied the colonel with great emphasis.
Mr. Bowers then went on to ask the colonel about a speech he made in which he said the interests of "Mr. B." and "Mr. M." Barnes and Charletf F. Murphy were identical and that the former controlled Albany as the latter did New York. "I abject," said Mr. Ivins. "If we start that we'll have to investigate New York and Albany." "You don't know how much you frighten me," Mr. Bowers replied.
Mr. Bowers then continued: "What facts came to your knowledge that led you to change your mind about Barnes?"
Whitman Latter Read.
There was an objection but after a lengthy discussion Justice Andrews allowed the witness to proceed.
There was an objection to another letter being Introduced because Mr. Barnes was not specifically mentioned in it, but the letter in part was allowed to be read. It referred to an alliance of the progressive republicans and the regular republicans "to rid the state of the kind of party control which is responsible for corrupt conditiono.'" This letter was addressed to District
Attorney Whitman. "Did you understand that letter referred to the plaintiff here?" "I did."
On cross examination Col. Roosevelt was asked: 'Was the Mr. Root who presided at the Chicago convention the same one who in 1898 made a speech about your tax affidavits?"
An objection was sustained. Then Col. Roosevelt was asked. "Was that Elihu Root?" "It was." After a few more questions the colonel was excused from the stand.
Philip V. I. Schuyler, of New York, employed in the law department of tho Mutual Life Insurance Co., was called. He said he had brought papers with him in answer to a subpoena. The papers were in a lawyer's brief case. Case and contents were marked as an exhibit. A recess was then taken.
NEWTON'S BOND RTJUNG.
Some Professional Signers to Be Tabooed By Court. Judge R. Voorhees Newton, new city judge, Thursday said that as soon as matters get to running smoothly in City Court bonds signed by persons known as professional bondsmen will not be. accepted, and all persons admitted to bond in this manner heretofore will have to look for new sureties.
The judge also intimated that hereafter all bonds must have his O. K. before the person may be released from jail, but after considering the matter, the judge said he probably would make some arrangement with the sheriff, for he felt he might work a hardship on some prisoner who could furnish the best of bond but could not obtain his release because Newton could not '*e located promptly.
MILKMAN FINED WARNED.
S. J. Fell Charged With Selling Impure Milk. The first results of the health board's clean-up order came late Wednesday When S. J. Pell, a farmer and dairyman, was called before Justice Beal on a charge of selling impure milk. The warrant was issued by Frank Tucker, sent here by the state board to assist the local authorities. Fell was fined $15 and icosts and the court warned him that if he ever came up again on a similar charge he would get the limit. The limit is $250 fine and six months in jail. Fell said he never would have the opportunity.
The court said he issued this drastic warning because the milk samples submitted to him were unusually bad.

commission act have made plainer the way of the business man, and asserted that in the condition of the country today "there is no happiness for those who would do evil to the administration."
The secretary quoted several newspaper articles to show that the country was on the way to prosperity and paid caustic respects to "purveyors of pessimism." "Those preachers of poverty for per sonal purposes," he said, "will In due time go to their places unwept, unhonhored and unsung, followed by the deserved curses of the deoeived, railing into the limbo of the' calamity howler where long ago the muck-raker pre ceded them. These are they who in secret places speak evil of those who have brought the country through the most terrible commercial shock in its history and landed her safe and strong upon the peaceful shores of prosperity and influence."
Three times, the secretary said, the country had evinced its faith in the democratic party by returning a democratic house of representatives. The foes of democracy, he said, could find small comfort in the reduced majority of the democrats in the next congress. "Our party has kept its faith," he continued. "It has not been given orders by the people to revise the tariff downward only to answer by revising it upward. One thing, at least, no one dares say about the tariff, namely, that it was prepared by anybody in his own interests. Never has there been a measure of the kind more free from personal taint, more purely intended for public as distinguished from private purposes."
The secretary declared that the tariff was not a factor in "depresing business conditions," and that under the Underwood bill "we have gained something of industrial self-respect."
Praises Reserve Law.
The federal reserve law, he said, has released into the channels of trade vast sums formerly unnecessarily held back as reserves, and has taken away the basis of fear that produces panic. "Look and see," he continued, "how many of our partisan opponents venture to rise in public and denounce the federal reserve law. It is admitted on all hands, if not in words, at least in silence, by our adversaries, that this thing has been well done. On it with confidence rest the operations of some of the very men who cry loudest in criticism of our policies. "Aye, but business legislation. Well, let us face the question of business legislation boldly, for concerning it there Is naught we have to fear. We have made plainer the way of the hon-
