um OUT OF GOAL MINES Two-Thirds of Bituminous Supply of the United States Threatened in the Struggle. SUSPENSION FOR SHORT TTME? Trouble Is Not Called a Strike and Hope Is Expresed That If Will Be Soon Over. Two hundred and seventy thousand mine workers, producing more than two-thirds of the total output of bituminous coal in the United States, laid down their tools the other night for in Indefinit period. From various sections of the country optimistic reports were received that the suspension would be of short duration and that the supply of coal above ground, with the output of nonunion mines, would be sufficient to keep the wheels of industry aioving until new wage contracts were negotiated. Neither the coal operators nor the United Mine Workers admit that the trouble amounts to a strike. They prefer to term it a "suspension," but whatever name It goes under the production of coal has stopped in the districts affected and no one is able to say when it will be resumed. The total bituminous coal production in the United States in 1907, which was the banner year, was 394,733,112 short tons. In 190S the production, due to the tradt depression, fell off about 60,000,100 tons, but last year it Increased to close to the 1907 total. The j. oduction of anthracite amounts to approximately SO.000,000 tons a year. In the eleven States affected by the suspension, the shutdown is complete In all except Pennsylvania. In the lat ter State only the Pittsburg district, employing bout 33,000 men and pro ducing about 60,000,000 tons, Is involv ed. In central Pennsylvania a major it of the mines are not organized, and as the nonunion mines have posted notices of an increase in wages, it is said no effort will be made by the un ion to have them shut down. Internal strife among the United, Mine Work ers may prolong the suspension beyond present Indications, according to those who are familiar with conditions. ROOSEVELT NOT TO SEE POPE. Declines to Accept Supposed Limit on Actions While In Borne. Former President Roosevelt of ths United States has declined an Invita tion to visit the Pope In Rome, through exactly the same causes which forced the Pope not to receive former Vice President Fairbanks the question of preference over the American Methodist mission there. Negotiations had been opened through Ambassador Leishoian for the contemplated visit of Colonel Roose velt. The latter explained himself as anxious to see the Pope. The Pcpe in reply said he hoped that no such unpleasant incident as that which marred the visit of Mr. Fairbanks to the city would occur. Mr. Fairbanks declined to visit the Vatican before seeing th-j Methodists. Colonel Roosevelt replied that he could not visit the Vatican under such conditions, and when he got a reply saying that it would be impossible to lift the restrictions Roosevelt cabled saying that the visit was impossible. The affair created a tremendous sen sation in Rome. It is learned that Colonel Roosevelt had made no arrangements whatever to visit the Meth odists there. The only audience which he had arranged was with the King. "EDDIE" FAY IS CAPTURED. Chicago Robber Arrested in New York for Postoffice "Holdup."

He asserts that the tariff will grow less and less Important as a pro tective measure and of increased imnortanee as a wurce of revenue.

PROGRESS OF SAYLER TRIAL. Kuch Interest Is Excited by Murder Case in Watseka, 111. The long work of securing the jury in the famous murder case of Dr. W. R. Miller and Mrs. Lucy Sayler having ended in Watsekj, 111., the battle cf the lawyers and the taking of testimony is well under way. No murder of recent years has attracted more attention through the middle West than when Dr. Miller killed John Byicr. Sayler, a banker of Crescent City, 111., July 11, 1909. The defense is claiming that Dr. Miller was attacked by the banker, while the state asks the death penalty and I.opes to prove that Dr. Miller and Mrs. Sayler plotted to do away with the banker. The state is using the evidence of Errington Miller, 13-year-old son of the physician, and Golda Sayler. the daughtei of Mrs. Sayler, against the prisoners. The defense is well armed with money and has secured the best legal talent in Illinois. The state's attorney

declares he wil convince the jury that Di. Miller was in love with Mrs. Sayler and that she assisted him in doing away with her husband. The death penalty is sought foi- tne man and woman on trial. John C. Gründen is Mrs. Sayler's father, and his connection with the tragedy has been strengthened by much testimony tending to show that he carried an automatic revolver of the same kind and caliber as that which Dr. Miller is reported to have used in the slaying of Byron Sayler. Mrs. Myrtle Green, sister "of the dead banker, positively identified the bloody ...... ujr oiuuuen on me uigui u tue irageuy. one aiso icienuneu tne u.vuujr auuittaisi worn Dy .urs. tayiei on mat nignt and particularly pointed out the blood stains which are purported to have been caused by her efiort to hold Sayler to the floor dur ing the melee. The testimony of Mrs. Green was rorroborated in -the main by her sister, Mrs. Sneed. Sonn of the evidence of the two sisters of the deceased

tended to show an effort on the part for ar.maraent for the purpose of proof Mrs. Sayler to hide the bloody gar- mnti, '

ments which she and her father, John Gründen, wore that night. The coffee episode was brought out, it being shown that Mrs. Sayler undertook to make a cup of coffee for Dr. Miller right after the shooting, before she attempted to ascertain the condition of her husband, who was at the moment lying on the floor In tne parlor of his own home. Efforts of Free P. Morris, counsel for the de fense, to shake the very damaglnj testimony brought out were futile. SWOPE CLAIMANT RECOGNIZED. A Ileited Son of Dead Millionaire Mens Over III. It I ehm. Have Dr. B. C. Hyde and his wife. of Kansas City, who was Frances Swope, a niece and one of the principal heirs of Thomas H. Cwope, agreed to recognize the claim of Elmer Swope, of Martinsburg, W. Va,, who is trying to establish that he is a son of the late millionaire? Elmer Swope, through his attorney, has filed a quitclaim which exempts from litigation on his part Mrs. Hyde's share of the Swope mil lions. The consideration named in the deed is "one dollar and other valuable considerations." Mrs. Hyde also has negotiated a loan of $50,000, giving as security part of the property left her by Colonel Swope's will. The money is to be used to defend Dr. Hyde, who is charged with murdering two cf the Swope family. OMAHA BANISHES CROWE. City Made Fniuoan hy Cadahy Kidim per t.lvea Ulm 2 llonra to Leave.

Crowe, after visiting a numter of saloons (the other night, became noisy. He was arrested and taken to the 'police station, but instead of being locked up the kidnaper was given two hours by the police in which to get outside the city limits. He walked across the bridge into Iowa without delay. TRADE AND INDUSTRY. Andrew Swanson. of Decker, Minn.. recently sold a hog to a live stock dealer at that place for $38.50. For the fourth time within four months, the 4,000 employes of the Waltham Watch Company's big factory at Waltham, Mass.. have been notified that the plant will be shut down to currtail- production. The Nassau mine, near Ilibbing, Minn., which was controlled by the Pittsburg Iron Ore Company, has passed to the control of the Interstate Iron Company, which is the mining division of thi Jones Laughlin .Iron Company. The Nassau adjoins thvi Longyear, which is also controlled by Jones & Laughlin, and the two properties will make a large stripping proposition. The Nassau is listed by the tax commission at 4,000,000 tons. It is expected that mere land will be sown to wheat and oats and other grains in the region about Sauk Cen ter, Minn., as the potato crop last year was not so successful, and farmers are selling potatoes at 20 cents a bushel to the cities. Many of the farmers also will grow corn to fatten hogs and cattle. Many acres of land have been broken up in this vicinity. Last year was the most profitable to farmers l.i this territory for many years, and land is high-priced. A Holstein cow owned by the Dairy Department of the University of Missouri in one year produced more human food in her milk than is contained in the complete carcasses of four steers weighing 1,250 pounds each. This statement, impossible as it seems, is not only true, but does not ev-n da full justice to the cv. The solids in the milk which are completely digested and used by the body are counted against the entire carcass of the steer which is only in part edib'e. Charles Ware, for the last fiv. years superintendent of the Nebraska division of the Union Pacific, has assum-d tho position of general superintendent of the road, vice W. L. Park, resigned. Immigration Commissioner CleorRt? Welsh is enthusiastic over the fi.ix straw future of Minnesota. Since receiving the sample and statement from Senator Knute Nelson he has made inquiries os to the possibilities along this line in Minnesota. He declares that there is no limit to the wealth this new industry may brin.er into th State if everything is i s repr-s:-:it to Senator Nelson by the i:ivt:i:oi. Robinson. Absorption of the Consolidated Traction Company property by the Morgan Interests through the Chicago HailwiZvCompany is to be carried out. if possible, at a secret meeting of Chicago traction magnates at Augusta, Ga. J. Picrpont Morgan's next great achievement will make the Central and South American republics financial dependencies of the United States. According to well informed circles in Wall street, he plans to establish a chain of banks In those countries, which will make his firm the financial power of Lfitin America and bring tha commerce of the several countries under American control.

The Week in Congress

5 In the Senate Tuesday Senator Chamberlain spoke in support of a bill providing for the withdrawal from entry of the public lands of the country. When the Senate adjourned early in the day out of respect to tho memory of the late Justice Brewer, Mr. Bailey suggested that such an adjournment established an awkward precedent. The House gave full authority to committee to investigate all charges concerning the existence of a lobby to influence ship'subsidy legislation' Mr. Fowler In an extended speech defended his plans for currency reform and spoke vigorously against the establishment of a central bank or of postal savings banks. Mr. Martin, of Colorado, suggested that the Attorney General in his denial that he had acted as counsel for the sugar trust had not informed the country of the amount of the fee paid to his partner, who acted in that capacity, and whether he had participated in that fee. The failure of the Attorney General to enforce more fully the Sherman anti-trust law was the subject of remarks by Mr. Martin, of South Dakota, while the improvement of the Mississippi River was discussed by Mr. Thistlewood. of Illinois. After an ineffectual effort to pass th House bill amending the employers' liability law. the Senate Wednesday reCum,i T,eiiö,.o;kr, r tion Tailroad bill. Senator1 Roct supported the railroad bill in a speech lasting two hours. He' devoted himself exclusively to the commerce court provisions of the bill. In the House a decisive vote was cast against tha Ilobson bill to appropriate one-twen-tipfH nf 1 nnr pout rf nnn-nnrlntlrti? moting peace. Democrats and Repub licans alike joined in defeating the measure on the ground that the method it proposed was not a proper one for the promotion of arbitration and universal peace. Senator Root continued, but did not conclude his speech on the administration railroad bill in the Senate Thursday. He defended the merger and traffic agreements provisions cf the measure. There was further discussion of the proposed amendment of the Cummins employers' liability law, but the Senate took no action upon it. The naval appropriation bill pending In the House, offered an opportunity to members to discuss various subjects. Mr. Sherley of Kentucky ex plained at considerable length his resolution to permic a majority of the House to bring before it at any time a bill which might be pending In a committee. Mr. Padgett of Tennessee and Mr. Gregg of Texas, minority members of the house naval cottiniittce, each delivered a speech in favor of a one battle ship a year policy. Objsctlon being made to an increase by tha Senate to the extent of $25,000 of the appropriation under which the State Department may encourage trade relations, the diplon-.atlc bill was sent back to conference by the House after all amendments except that one had been agreed to. Senator Root Friday concluded his speech in the Senate in support of the administration railroad bill and tho further consideration of that measure was postponed until .Monday. The Senate passed the bill amending the employers' liability law In respect to the jurisdiction of State cevdrts in railroad damage suits. The liability bill now will go to conference. The publicity feature of the corporation tax law was under discussion during the entire session of the House to-day. The Senate had provided, in an amendment to the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, for publicity of corporation reports upon ap proval of the President alone under regulations to be formulated by the Secretary of the Treasury. After the bill had been completed Representative Fitzgerald of New York attempted to recommit it with instructions for a re port forthwith with an amendment repealing the Payne-Aldrlch tariff law. By a strict party vote. 150 to 116, Speaker Cannon's ruling that this mo tion was out of order was sustained. Eulogies formed the chief feature of the proceedings of the Senate and House. Saturday. In the Senate the life and character ot Senator McLaurin of Mississippi and of Senator Johnson of North Dakota were subjects of numerous remarks. In the House the session was largely devoted to paying tributes of respect to the .memory of the late Representative Cushman of Washington. The naval appropriation bill was under consideration during the first two hours of the session, and the reading of the measure for amendments was begun. In honor of the late Representative James B. Perkins of New York, who died in this city recently, eulogies were delivered in the House Sunday. CURRENT NEWS NOTES.

CROWDS OF STUDENTS HOOT AT ROOSEVELT

Mob of Egyptian Nationalists Makes Demonstration before Hotel Where Teddy Is Staying. CENTRAL FIGURE MISSES FUN. He and Mrs. Roosevelt Were Taking Tea with Prince Eitel of Germany. "Down with the liar!" "A has Roosevelt !' "Vive Egypt!" "We want a constitution !" "Hurrah for the Assembly!" yelled and howled the tarbouched mob that marched and remarched past Shepherd's Hotel in Cairo the other afternoon. It was the answer of the Nationalists to Colonel Roosevelt's speech at the University of Egypt. The meetings of protest that began the previous night were continued in various sections of the city, the Nationalists assembled voicing their disapproval of his views, and then marching before the hotel in the hope of letting Colonel Roosevelt see and hear them, so that he might know what they thought of him. They shouted "Dcwn with hypocrites!" a term which Is applied to everyone dissenting from the Nationalists' program. The Colonel missed the show, he and Mrs. Roosevelt having gone to take tea with Prince Eitel at the Savoy Hotel. It was a picturesque sight, but pitiably Ineffective, save for the noise. First were heard 6trange cries in Ärabic. Across a corner of the garden came what looked like a moving Turkish carpet traversing the bounding' street. The carpet pattern proved to be about 200 students, mostly youths, a large number of them raere boys, led by a black-mustached man who seemed to be the only mature p.-;rson in the throng. Reaching the front of the hotel, they shouted with zest. The effect would have done justice to a college crowd After each yell they vigorously ap plauded, presumably themselves. They marched and remarched, led by a tired looking policeman, back to the hall. where they held another meeting and another march. CHICAGO PIE MAN POISONED. Coroner's Jury Finds A. J.

' The remaining portion of the steak was taken to Dr. Walter Haines, the chemist whose hame is familiar in the Swope case at Kansas City, for analysis.

Moody is said to have carried Insurance of $15,000 in favor of his wife. Her maiden name was Anne Olson, and married twenty-five years ago. CHURCH MERGER IS UPHELD.

ZBW WW. . - k . v CHICAGO. R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of Chicago trade says: , "Business" generally exhibits a prompt response to the seasonablo weather. Payments through tho banks, deposits and loans, are teen to be far above all previous 'records, a convincing testimonial to Improve activity in the leading industries and investments. Movements have become remarkably extended In heavy materials, raw supplies and factory outputs, but those of grain, live stock and pro visions show declines. Forwardings of general merchandise to the interior exceed these of a year ago. "High prices still affect the markets for the principal foodstuffs and buyers operate cautiously. Farm reports reflect gratifying progress in seeding, and the anxiety to complete spring work soon accounts for smaller crop marketings at this time. "Heavy deliveries indicate that manufacturers increase outputs of machinery, implements, hardware, feather and brass and woodwork. The market for factory needs reflect strong buying against future consumption, -and hides recovered 1 cent of the recent decline. Building operations here and at Interior points compare favorably In the aggregate with this time last year and the eagerness of buyere causes firmer prices. "Despite the largely increased resources of the banks the discount rate for choice commercial paper is held tirrnly at 4:,(Qö per cent." "Bank clearings, $209,350,676, exceed those of the corresponding week in 1909 by 6.4 per cent, and compare with $231,232.063 in 1908. Failures reported in the Chicago district numbered 27, as against 24 last week, 21 in 1909 and 16 in 1908. Those with, liabilities over $5,000 numbered 8, as against 10 last week, 4 in 1909 and 3 in 1903." NEW YORK. Trade reports are rather more irregular, with distribution rather less active than in the preceding two weeks. Retail trade so tar has been better than a year ago, but from many centers reports say the volume of jobbing trade is not up to expectations, for which high prices and industrial unrest are assigned as the reasons. The two features really attracting chief interest have been the outburst of activity In agricultural sections and the many movements toward readjustment in industrial lines.
