CHICAGO COLLEGE

Declares Walker in Suit Against Institution by Miss, Mercy. UilCAUO, March 27. "Why your liouor, MUa. Mercy It the sort of a girl that likes to go-down to breakfast In u kimono. Thla la not the right conduct for a glrla' dormitory or a girls' boarding house." ' Attorney Francis W. Walker, representing Dean Marlon Talbot of the 1'nlveraity of Chicago, defendant in Mlaa Mercy's $100,000, slander suit, used the foregoing words yesterday afternoon In an argument before Judge 1'omeroy. Teatimony had been taken in the morning. At 2 o'clock Attorney Everett Jennings for Miss Mercy announced that "plaintiff rests." At once came a demurrer to the evidence a plea to take the case away from the jury by Attorney Walker. And In his plea Mr. Walker made the "klmona" comment, ays University Is Scandalized. "Your honor, I am trying to argue thla motion to atop a week or two weeks of work for you, myself, and this university," he said. "Also, I am trying to stave off two weeks more of

disgusting notoriety. The University of

Chicago la scandalised. Yea, scandalized. "And In the meantime this girl here la getting $100,000 worth of advertising to help her to the vaudeville stage. It doesn't matter now whether ahe wlna or loses. "And, I repeat, by heavens! the great University of Chicago stands scandalised In the community. Yes, and I am scandalized too." Here he turned to the reporter's table. "Gentlemen, from now on keep my name out of your reports, please. I am tired of aham and pretense. I am tired of thla neurasthenia. I am tired of the Nan Pattersons and the Miss Carters that this plaintiff suggests."

Victory for Miners and

ernment Still on in England

(National News Association) LONDON. March 27. Definite announcement of the ending of the coal strike in North Wales has been made. The operators have granted a minimum wage to be fixed in Joint confer ence between the representatives of the miners and coal owners and work will be resumed at the collieries at once. If this action is followed throughout Wales, England and Scotland, it was said, a minimum wage bill, granting the men'a demands by law, would not be necessary.

The action of the North Walea coal

ownera in conceding tne minimum

wage was a victory for both the min

ers and tne government Also it

brought to light the possibility that the government had used the minimum wage bill aa a club to compel the

operators to get into line and belief

waa expressed that the government leaders never intend to push the bill through to final action. Altholugh this waa the date for the calling up of the minimum wage bill for its final reading in the house of commons, doubt waa expressed before parliament convened that the bill would be considered during the afternoon or evening owing to the fact that the conference between the government and miners and operatora have not been completed. Following a meeting of the railway managers in this city Tuesday official ano'uncement was ' made that, unless the strike is soon settled, Great Britain will be faced by the appalling possibility of a complete suspension of rail traffic throughout the United Kingdom.

Deceit. Tia a cowardly and servile humor to hide and disguise a man's self under a visor and not to dare to show himself what he is. By that our followers are trained up to treachery. Being brought up to speak what la not true, they make no conscience of a lie. Montaigne.

The Wettina of England. If the king of 'England were to renounce the throne and resolve to become an ordinary citizen he would be called George Wettln. How doea the name Wettln come to be the king's surname? Thla is the answer: Queen Victoria married Albert. duk of Saxe-Coburg-Gotba. of the senioi branch of the house of Saxony. Th family name by which this house, dat lng from the middle of the tenth century, came to be known afterward wat

COdFERElERESUMEO Uncertainty Prevails Regarding the Strike. CNaUeaal Mews Asaoeiatten) CLEVELAND. JMarch 2. Uncertainty prevailed here today when the conference of the operators and miners' representai ves in the bituminous field that will probably decide whether there will be a strike, waa resumed today. The operatora who refused to secede to any of the demands of the miners, when the conference was adjourned last week, seemed uncertain of their own position today. Shortly before the conference waa called it waa reported that they had noS reached an agreement aa to the action they might take. Eastern operators assert a general wage increase at this time is impossible aa it would mean the shifting of more trade to the non-union mines of West Virginia and closing of properties in Ohio and West Virginia. Operators in other sections, however, are said to be willing to grant a slight increase, although they would not grant the ten per cent the miners are demanding. Whether the meeting today breaks up in a row with all chance of settlement gone, or whether an Interstate agreement ia reached is entirely problematical. Those who have been

watching the negotiations closely say

either outcome is not improbable.

Tne famous baritone wns one el a patty traveling under military escort through a bandit Infested ragSon in Mexico when the guards suddenly bolted, leaving the travelers to the mercy of a band of booty hunters. These desperadoes, finding the spoil less valuable than they expected, decided to slay their captives and fare forth on another foray. An inspiration came to Santley. Surrounded by friends and foes, he commenced an aria and sang in his own Inimitable way. As the notes rippled forth on the clear mountain air the bandits' faces lighted up with pleasure, and at the finish the leader expressed his delight and asked the senor to sing again. Santley aaw his chance and seized it. He Inquired If he might sing for the liberty of the little party, and a reluctant consent was given. For several hours during that never to be forgotten night be enthralled his captors with a generous program of exquisite melodies. The next day the bandits tendered payment by taking the whole party down the mountain side snd setting them free. Notwithstanding later triumphs Sir Charles Santley never surpassed that one.
