DISTRESS MORE ACUTE
London, March 6. Premier Asqulth
tried again to-day to persuade the min
ers to call off the coal strike and leave
their differences with the owners to the
government, but again the miners showed
no Inclination to accept am thing less
than the surrender of the owners.
The premier met the miners executive
committee In his office In Downing
street, and In a long speech appealed to
their patriotism to end the strike. He
pointed out that they are causing untold
suffering among thousands of families,
and paralyzing trade and commerce
throughout the whole kingdom, but to
no avail. The members of the committee
listened attentively to all the premier
said, and afterward discussed with him
the various points at issue, but when
they departed they were as determined
as ever to ngbt the question out to a,
nnisn.
Premier Promises Relief.
The premier promised to confer urain
acd attemVt again to bring them wl
terms. The preml has promised the
men that he win force a minimum wage
Mil through Parliament if they will go

to-day formed themselves Into an Oxford
University strike emergency committee,
and informed the government that they
were ready to perform any task to al
leviate conditions brought about by the
strike. They even agreed to drop their
studies and go to work in the mines.
The distress caused by the strike be
came more acute to-day. Many families
among the poorer classes, without fuel,
are burning their furniture to keep
warm. The prices of food took another
step upward to-day. and at the same
time the quantity for sale was greatly
reduced.

Berlin, March 6. A national strike of
coal miners In Germany Is Imminent.
The question of a walkout was discussed

COMES AS' A SURPRISE
Entry Into Arena of Former Friend
a Blow to Eoosevelt Out
in the Open Now.
Oyster Bay, March C Col. Roosevelt
feels bitterly the turn upon him by Sec
retary Stimson. When the Secretary
called on the Rough Rider at Sagamore
Bill six weeks ago, as envoy from Presi
dent Taft to ascertain exactly where the
ex-President stood In the nomination
would get Into the scramble If he felt
like It. So as not to make It embarrass
ing for Stimson, as a member of the Taft
Cabinet, the colonel told him he would
not expect his active support should he
decide to go after the nomination.
'You must stay noncommittal," was In
effect what Roosevelt told Stimson. "You
cannot afford .to oppose Mr. Taft while
ou are In hlsCablnet, and I would not
think of asking you to resign.
Comes aa n Surprise,
Roosevelt, after that, thought Stimson
would keep out of the tight. He would
have as easily believed that "Jlmmle"
Garneld. would have turned ngatnst him
as Stimson. Roosevelt's outburst to-day
Is only the start of the cyclonic campaign
he Intends to carry one. He proposes to
let his opponents know that he Is fight
ing. The former President will get Into
the game In the open now and take pot
shots at rail birds. He Is out for dele
gates, with blood In his eye.
The colonel refused to discuss Chairman
McKlnleys challenge to Senator Dixon
to tell If he Is managing the campaign
with Roosevelt's authority, and If
Roosevelt approves the effort to grab
delegates.
Answer Stimson Speech.
Col. Roosevelt gave out a lengthy
statement to-day In answer to Secre
tary Stlmson's speech In Chicago last
night. In which he said that he was In
the same position now as he was when In
1X3 and 1510 he advocated the nomination
and election of Mr. Stimson as governor
of rew York. He was drawn Into that
campaign, he said, against his wishes,
but yielded because he thought conscien
tiously that It was his duty to fight for
honest self-government.
Col, Roosevelt asserted that neither Mr.
Stimson nor any one else whom he has
sunnorted fnr mibllf office owe him anv

tion Is opposed to aUowIng the people an
opportunity to express their choice for
the nominee.
"These leaders," said Col. Roo:evelt,
"are managing the campaign against me,
and tf they were deliberately trying to
wreck the Republican party, they aro
following the same tactics as they have
been following tactics which made it
seem that they would rather sec the Re
publican party defeated than to see It
restored to what It was under Lincoln,
and see It become again the genuine party
of the people which stands, for real
popular rule and for the highest Ideal
of social and Industrial Justice, to be
achieved through popular rule.
Perkins Calla nn Itooaevrlt.
George W. Perkins, head of the har
vester trust, became definitely identified
to-day with the Roosevelt campaign. In
a swirling snowstorm Perkins rode out
from New York In a limousine, arriving
at Sagamore Hill toward dusk Perkins,
who is chairman of the finance commit
tee of the International Harvester Com
pany, and a director in the steel trust.
conferred with the cx-Presldent for more
than an hour. After he had gone Col.
Roosevelt told the International News
Service that Perkins had broughtword
to him from Senator Dixon, the Roose
velt national campaign manager. Roose
velt declined to reveal the nature of the
message.
Perkins left Sagamore Hill at S o'clock
to hurry back to New York, there to
confer with Senator Dixon, who had
come on during the afternoon from
Washington. Word of Dixon's arrival In
New York was communicated to Roose
velt late In the day. Dixon telephoned
Roosevelt to tell him of the coming of
Perkins and to say thai he was obliged
to hasten off from New York for a trip
to New England, but that he would see
the colonel in a day or so.
Perkins' visit to Roosevelt Is believed
to have a distinct bearing upon the
financing of the Roosevelt boom.

IS LONDON RUMOR
England Stirred at Reports
of Accomplishment of.
Capt. Scott.
EXPLORER- IS EAMOUS
British Naval Officer Led Two
Other Expeditions and Made
Elaborate Flans This Time.
London, March . A rumor published
here to-day that Capt. Robert -F. Scott,
the British antarctic explorer, had
reached the sou pole, excited Intense
interest throughout England, but up to
midnight waa without confirmation. Mrs.
Bcott, the explorer's wife, who lives In
London, declared that she has had no
word for some time from her husband,
and a news agency, which claims to be
the news representative of Capt. Scott,
has no Information. This source says
that It expects no word for some time.
It Is admitted that Scott must be some
where near his cherished goal by this
time, and. news that he had succeeded In
reaching the south pole would not be
surprising.
The captain is an officer of the British
navy. The Terra Nova, In which his ex
pedition sailed. left London June 1, 1910.
and was Joined later In New Zealand
by Capt. Scott. Stores sufficient for three
years were taken aboard. In January,
1911, Capt. Bcott and party went south to
establish supply stations, his vessel re
turning lo Auckland.
Final Plana for Dash.
All through last summer It was the In
tention to mako the final preparations
for the last dash toward the pole, which
was to be carried out at the end of the
year Just closed. It Is assumed, there
fore, that if the expedition has been suc
cessful, Capt. Scott Is on his way back'
to civilization.
Capt. Scott has with him sixty men,
twenty Siberian ponies, thirty dogs, and
two motor sleds.
From Beardmore glazier, a dog team,
with a relay of men, waa to transport
the loads over the glazier surface, and
a picked party of men and dogs were to
make the final dash across the Inland
Ice sheet. Motor sleds were to be the
main agent In the transportation plan,
and Capt. Scott thought that If the party
reached the foot of the glacier there
could be little doubt that It would ascend
It. and thus simplify the difficulties of
the further Journey;
Led Two Expeditions.
.Cart- Scott led an expedition v.o the
tnlircUc In 1302 and VXH. when he man
aged to reach S3 degrees 17 minutes south,
which stood as a record until 1909, when
Sir Ernest Shackleton, a member of the
first Scott expedition, managed to get
within 111 miles of the south pole, when
bis supplies ran out and he had to re
turn He furnished Scott with much ot
his data, and has been very confident
that Scott would reach the south pole.

President Taft and Speaker
Champ Clark See End
of All Disputes.
EFEORTSBEARINGFRUIT
Fassage of Workman's Compensa
tion Sill Predicted Mrs. J. H.
Hammond Makes Report.
A Jovial truce was declared between
capital and labor and the sordid troubles
of a weary world were wafted away at
the twelfth annual banquet of the Na
tional Civic Federatlor, held at the New
WWard last evening.
The beaming smile of President Taft
and the equally beaming smile of Champ
Clark were chief aids In promoting the
spirit of the night. There was naught
to disturb the serenity of the diners, 600
strong, who packed the banquet hall
from one end to the other. .
Out of the ocean of words which bore
the speeches on Its tide no trenchant note
was heard, no ringing slogan emerged;
the keynote of them all was the olive
branch, and nothing but the olive branch.
Amicable settlement of all disputes be
tween warring Industrial forces, arbi
tration, a better spirit, and a, better un
derstanding were urgently indorsed by
the speakers.
Basla of Organization.
"What I believe to be the basis of this
organization." said President Taft. "is
that most of the controversies that trou
ble men and trouble the human species
can be settled If the contestants are
made to understand each what the other
means and claims.
"I come here to give you a welcome.
and to say that We are doing something
In Washington In the line of the progress
which you favor. I hope we may carry
it to a successful conclusion. Everything
tnat tends to ameliorate the relations be
tween the employer and the employe Is

prepared by a Congressional committee
having the most able lawyers upon it,
and prepared along lines which I sin
cerely hope and believe will be found to
be entirely within the power of Congress
to enact, I believe that both parties are
likely to unite In passing the bill, and
If nothing else Is done, that will Justify
the existence ot this Congress for one
session- I merely mention this to report
progress. When you meet again and
come to Washington there will be some
thing else here at the center of the gov
ernment which will meet your approval
and will find Inspiration In the resolu
tions and the speeches of those who show
forthwith the beneficent purpose of the
Institution." ,
Work for Federation. M
In a felicitous address somewhat long
er than the President's. Speaker Clark:
urged the federation lo continue Its ef
forts In the direction of the simplifica
tion and the harmonization of the law;
to tackle the trust problem, and to hrloff
the employer and the employe Into a,
more human relation than exists at pre- (
ent.
"President Low's declaration on the
subject of bringing together the various
elements In our civilization here la

"I have often said, and I believe It
now, that It the boys from 1S30. say to
I960, of the North had been sent South
to be educated, and the boys of the
South had been sent North to be edu

war between the States. The truth Is
that nine-tenths of the difficulties be

honest differences, because they are not
well enough acquainted with each other."
"I am glad the Civic Federation Is try
