LEWIS IS IX THE GAME
Miners can strike in mre ways than on
That was clearly evident at the City Club
bowling alleys last night, when five husk
and heavy miners from the anthracite con
fines of District 1, of Pennsylvania, lintal
up agamst a more agile five from the soft
coal regions of Ohio. Th" match was on
of the most warmly contested that has been
seen at the City Club for many a day, and
the miners displayed their ability in making
strikes as well as conducting them. For
four solid hours the miners battled over the
alleys, and not until the last ball of the
game went spinning down the stretch for a
strike was victory cairled away by the
quintet of miners from the Buckeye State.
The game begun at I o'clock and 12 o'clock
had struck before the five games, which
constituted the match, were ended. Vice
President Thomas L. Iewis was one of tht
Ohio team and demonstrated that he is a
dictator of bowling disks as well as miners.
On the first game the Pennsylvania miners
started of at a merry clip, giving their op
ponents the worst end of a total score of 77o
to 640. The Buckeye men warmed up in the
next game and went 61 to the good on a total
score of 791 to 730. The next game was ex
citing enough for any nrdent bowler and
was won by Ohio by 3 points. The score
was 721 to 718. Diggers of Pennsylvania Mil
got into the game again in the fourth game
and knocked down a victory by a score of
776 to 769. The last anil deciding game
grated on the nerves of the hundred
or so rooters from the two districts
who watched the game. The score ran
about even thioughout, but when, on the
last bowl. Delegate Ileab y sent the Penn
sylvania score up to 670, there was vigorous
applause from the anthracite rooters. It
died Into Insignificance, however, when the
last Ohio bowler bowled a strike and placed
his team at the victory stake with a score
of 674. There were some good scons made
In the match last night. M. H. Healey, of
Pennsylvania, and William Oreen, of Ohio,
secured the highest scores Vjs. Although
Pennsylvania was defeated, it made the
highest score in the five games by seventy
six points.
The following is the make-up of the
b ms:
Pennsylvania. District 1 T. D. Nichols.
J. T. Dlmsley. John Fallon, William J.
Thomas and M. H. Healey.
Ohio T. L. Lewis. William Green, Percy
Tetlow. T. M. Davis and G. M. Savage.
The anthracite miners last night issued a
challenge against the bituminous miners of
Pennsylvania for a game and the match
will probably be pulled off to-night.

TALK AS RESOLUTION
OF SOCIALISTS IS READ
(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE )
district should be allowed to sign a wage
scale with an operator who had been placed
on the unfair list. The resolution was
aimed at the operators of Ohio and Penn
sylvania who operate union mines in those
States but conduct nonunion mines in West
Virginia. The resolution was not con
curred In, and after a long discussion was
tabled. "
A resolution from Kentucky was Intro
duced specifying that that State be prohib
ited from signing a wage scale less than
the one agreed upon in the competitive
lields. It was turned over to the scale com
mittee. A resolution from N. Martin, of
Iowa, providing that the miner be allowed
to retain no more than 3.50 a day as a
wage, turning all surplus into the national
fund, was not received favorably, and was
killed In short order. The general opinion
was that every miner Is entitled to all he
can earn.
After an amendment requiring the State
Legislature to levy the tax on the basis of
all coal handled by railroads and sold
l.y dealers, a resolution providing that the
State Legislature tax all coal carrying
roads and operators on. -half cent a ton
for the purpose of creating a fund for a
national home, was adopted. Likewise a
resolution providing that legislation be
obtained in several States requiring the
operators to provide shooters for mines,
was adopted.
A resolution that drew an Interesting dis
cussion was one urging that legislation be
secured to place the Japanese miners under
the same exclusion act as the Chinese,
Jap miners are entering the mines of Wy
oming ami Montana In considerable num
bers ami the framers of the resolution
believe that some method should be adopt
ed whereby the operators cannot displace
union miners with Japs. The organization
Is firmly against Chinese labor, and its at
titude towards the same conditions under
the Japanese Is equally unfriendly. The
v solution will probably come up for final
disposition to-day.
Another recess of half a day was given
the delegates yesterday, a the different
committees were not ready to report.
Yesterday afternoon was spent by most
of the committees getting their work
straightened out. The resolution committee
held an all aftrnon session at the Occi
dental Hotel and prepared its mass of reso
lutions for the final report, to be made to
day. The constitution committee also held
a meeting yesterday afternoon and pre
pared for its report, which will relate only
to slight changes in certain clauses of the
constitution. The scale committee will not
Met until this evening. What action It
will take will not ba known until it sub
mits its formal r port, wnlch will not be
until the last days of the convention. A
meeting of the appeal and grievance com
mittee is also called for to-day.
ADVOCATE EXCLUSION

Miners Think They Come Nearer
to American Standard of Labor
than Do the Chinese.
To-day's sessions of the convention are
looked forward to by the miners as the
most important of the meeting. Tho dele
gates will reconvene this morning at 9
o'cIock, when questions of Import will come
before their consideration. The credential
committee said last night that its report
will be submitted this morning, after the
members have spent more than three days
In the effort to straighteu out the creden
tials. After the credentials committee has
submitted its report the final report of the
resolutions committee will be presented
and around this will attention be drawn
The committee worked all yesterday after
noon to get the resolution's in shape, ad
journing at 6 o'clock with the statement
thut about fifty resolutions will be sub
mitted at the sessions to-day. These reso
lutions embody a great many questions
that. If adopted by the coin . DtlOB, will be
of utmost importance to the miners.
It Is expected that several resolutions
MINERS WILL DEFEA T A TTEMPT
TO ESTABLISH UNION BANK
If ResoluSm Is Offen-J It Will Be Oi vrwhemingy Rejected
Not to Ik Considered
It is said that the plan of the Cnited
Mine Workers looking to the establishing
of a bank of their own for the purpose of
depositing th ir funds is as improbable as
the danger of the organization accepting
eetaUem. Although a resolution to that'
effect may be introduced to-day. It is stated
by those in executive positions that such a
thing is hardly worth considering. "If such
a resolution is presented." said one of the
executive officers last night, "I can tell you
that It will never go through."
The suggestion that the organization es
tablish a bank for the deposit of the money
of labor organisations was barely hinted
at In the report of Secretary Wilson, llow-
J IVt& it Wiks later iwviud that tho organi

will be received from the delegation from
West Virginia, advocating some action on
the part of the organization relative to
the operators in the southern part of that
State which are especially antagonistic to
the organization of the miners. The usual
number of resolutions in reference to wage
scales will be submitted. Among the reso
lutions is one drafted by Patrick Dolan,
president of District 5, which provides that
Congress be urged to improve the water
ways of the Ohio and Allegheny rivers in
order that they may be navigable every
day in the year.
The resolution of G. F. Jones, of Wyo
ming, advocating that Japanese roolies
be excluded from the mines of Wyoming
and other States where they are becoming
a prom in nt factor, will come up for final
disposition to-day. Mr. Jones says that
there are many Japanese in the Western
mines and the dangerous thing about them
is that they come nearer the American
Standard of labor than the Chinese.
Another question that will attract the at
tention of the convention to-day is that of
the most advisable method of collecting
L the per capita tax. It is believed that a
P V- 1 l i it et .
n-jvuuiuMi Hiiicn emoouies secretary n
son's and President Mitchell's recommenda
tions will be adopted. That is the st.itnp
method, which had been tried in several
States, and has proved most satisfactory.
A resolution will also be presented recom
mending the button system, which Is in
vogue in the anthracite region, which has
met with good results. The question of de
ciding upon the method by which the tax
will be collected is one of the most impor
tance. Under present methods the national
organization does not collect nearly all the
tax due it. Its purpose on hitting upon a
thorounh system is to secure all dues, in
stead of losing I'je.atH) a year, as under the
present method.
WILL TAKE ACTION ON
THE COLORADO STRIKE
Miners' Convention May Decide to
Call Out 6,ooo Miners in the
Wyoming Fields.
One of the important matters to come
before the convention this week will be that
relating to the strike in Colorado. While
the organization has given Its support to
the strike, it is understood that an effort
will be made to have the organization call
out the miners in Wyoming, where the
same low scales are being paid as in the
southern fields of Colorado. It Is believed
that the strike can be carried on much
more effectively if the Wyoming men are
called out. There are about 6,o() miners
in the Wyoming mines who are members of
the organization, and should they be given
the instruction they will go out with the
Colorado men.
Wyoming is a part of District 15, but
when the call to strike was given by the
executive board K did not Include the Wy
oming miners, although they were receiv
ing the same wages and working the leg
hours as the Colorado and I'tah miners.
In the northern fields the men returned to
work when the eight-hour day was granted
by the operators. The concession was not
made in the southern fields, and the strike
is being carried on at an expense of over
HMM a month.
DO NOT FAVOR RAISING
THE MEMBERSHIP DUES
In the report of Secretary Wilson there
was a recommendation providing for an
increase in the membership dues of 3 cents
per month. Although I meeting of the con
stitution committee was held yesterday,
this change in tht by-laws was not touched
upon and will not be brought before the
convention until later. When the question
is put before the convention it will not be
indorsed is the general view taken by the
delegates. It Is believed by many that If a
thorough system of collecting the per capita
tax can be found it will be unnecessary to
raise the membership dues.
Miners Anxiously Wait
Report of the Tellers
The report of the tellers, which will come
to-day or to-morrow, is looked forward to
with much interest, as It will make known
the result of the annual election of officers
of the organization. Because of no opposi
tion In the election it is known that the
present executive officers. President Mitch
ell, Vice President Lewis and Secretary
treasurer Wilson, will be re-elected, but
there are other offices to be tilled by the
referendum vote, which was taken several
weeks ago. Among the offices are the seven
delegates th Mine Workers will send to the
next convention of the American Federation
of Labor. There were about thirty candi
dates for the positions, but those elected
will not be known until the report of the
tellers.

zation might withdraw Its funds from the
banks in which its money is now deposited.
Such action was furthest from the mean
ing of Secretary Wilson s report, which
slated along this line that during the past
few months the organization had brought
to its notice a movement on the part of the
Iron Molders' Union to have the different
labor organizations of the city withdraw
their money from a certain bank which had
on Its board of directors a controller of a
corporation that had been placed on the
unfair list. Secretary Wilson said: "We
should go on record against any policy of
this kind except where a bank, as such, is
antagonistic to organised labor, and even
in that case our funds shoutd be withdrawn
in such a manner as not to injure the in
terests of the other depositors by causing
a run oa the bank."

PARIS. Jan. a). Although no official au
thority is obtainable for the statement,
there is strong reason to believe that ex
changes of communications are now going
on between France and Russia concerning
the position Russia will Anally adopt In re
sponse to the latest Japanese note. Long
casse and M. Nelldoff, the Kussiaa ambas
sador, are being held almost daily. It is ex
pected that the exchange of views will
bring about the following results: First,
Russia, appreciating the decisive nature of
the issues presented in Japan's last note,
desires to secure the advice of her nearest
political friend, and. second, France wishes
to exercise her influence to prevent a war
in which she might become embroiled.
JAPANESE ACCOUNT OF
RECENT NEGOTIATIONS
LONDON. Jan. 20. To-morrow s issue of
the Jiji Shlmpo. the Daily Telegraph's
Tokio correspondent says, will contain a
story of the negotiations according to which
the first Russo-Japanese divergence was
hinted at in a meeting of the council held
June 23, 11)03. This story relates to the suc
ceeding negotiations until Oct. 30, when
Japan wired her proposals to St. Peters
burg. For forty days thenceforward Russia
hurried on war preparations, Japan mean
while remaining quiescent and awaiting an
answer. Japan's note proposed that either
power be entitled to send police or troops
for the protection of the railways in either
Korea or Manchuria in case of emergency,
but they must be withdrawn directly order
was restored. The Russian reply, dated
Dec. 11, was overbearing and uncompromising-
it excluded Manchuria and proposed
that all territory north of the thirty-ninth
degree of latitude should be neutral. Japan
thereupon commenced h.-r preparations, and
on Dec. 22 she presented a note to Russia,
which, with some minatory clauses, made
the following demands: "Iioth powers shall
endeavor to maintain the territorial integ
rity of Korea and Manchuria; both shall
recognize the special concessions of either in
Korea or China, provided the open-door pol
icy be reepeeted.
Japan also refused the neutral proposal,
and counter-proposed a neutral zone if 25
kilometers on both sides of the Korean
border. Russia, in her note of Jan. 6, in
sisted on her neutral zone, but vaguely
hinted her inteution to respect Japan's
rights in Manchuria. To this note Japan re
plied on Jan. 13, reaffirming her demands.
The Telegraph correspondent concludes
his dispatch with these words: "Therefore,
unless Russia yields, a diplomatic rupture
is certain. Russia's answer is expected to
morrow." GREAT BRITAIN'S PART
IN THE NEGOTIATIONS
LONDON, Jan. 20. Lord Lansdowne'g re
ception at the Foreign Office to-day was at
tended by almost all the ambassadors and
ministers in Ixindon, including the Amer
ican. Russian, Japanese, German and
French representatives. At the end of the
reception the Associated Press was informed
that th situation looked, perhaps, slightly
more hopeful, but as the Russian reply ap
parently Is not yet drafted, no definite state
ment could safely be made. The Foreign
Office has reason to believe, however, that
Russia is willing to concede practically all
Japan's demands, but that she cannot see
her way to make a treaty with Japan recog
nizing in blaek and white China's sovereign
ty over Manchuria. Russia has approached
Great Britain to urge Japan to forego this
stipulation and to accept in lieu thereof the
assurances to the same end already given to
the other powers. It is pointed out at the
Foreign Oftice that Great Britain, being
buch an interested party, is in a difficult po
sition and can scarcely recommend such a
course to her ally. For the moment the sit
uation rests there. Whether Japan will In
sist to the bitter end on a treaty recognizing
Chinese sovereignty over Manchuria, the
Foreign Office does not yet know. It thinks
the Japanese themselves will not decide until
after the delivery of the Russian reply,
which is scarcely expected till next week.
BLUNDER RESULTS IN
ATTACK ON UNCLE SAM
ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 20. A con
fusion of Olongapo. in Sublg bay. near
Manila, with Yongampho. on the Yalu
river, has led the Russian press into a
curious attack on the United States. The
statement that Rear Admiral Evans's
squadron was to proceed to Olongapo was
either garbled in transmission or misunder
stood, for it was reported here that the
destination of the American ships was
Yongampho." This error was made the
basis of an attack on the motives of the
United States by the Novoe Vremya and
Listock. both papers pretending to see In
this move the entrance of the United States

Bivalve Refuses to Go Up or Down
and He Runs to Dispensary
for His Life.
DOCTOR TO HIS RESCUE
C. F. Jackson, 734 South Alabama street,
tried to swallow an oyster last night that
refused to go all the way down. It stuck
in his throat and he was taken to the City
Dispensarv by his friends who feared he
would choke to death. Dr. Jeffries, after
much difficulty, succeeded iu removing the
bivalve from the man's throat and he suf
fered no bad effects from his stubborn
lunch.
Jackson said he went to the theater last
night and after th performance went to
an oyster house, where he ordered a dozen
raw oysters. He ate eleven of them with
out a mishap, but No. 12 had a piece of
shell sticking to it and unconsciously he
swallowed the oyster and the piece of
shell. Dr. Jeffries said had the oyster re
mained in the throat a few moments
longer it would have probably choked
Jackson, as his face was turning blue when
he entered the Dispensary door.
MISSOURI CONVICT
BEFORE GRAND JURY
Adolph Fein Tells What He
Knows About the Naturalization
Frauds at St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, Jan. 20.-Adolph Fein, former
vice president of the Hebrew Jefferson
Club, now a convict in the Missouri peni
tentiary under a sentence of five years for
complicity in the naturalization frauds, ap
peared before the federal grand jury to-day.
Before entering the grand jury chamber
Fein said:
"I'll tell the grand jury who the fellows
were behind those frauds, and they are big
fellows, too. When I was indicted my
friends said they would come to the front
for me, and I made up my mind to keep
my mouth shut, but they deserted me. I
waited till Dec. 27. Then I made up my
mind that if they wouldn't come to tho
front for me the government would, so I
wrote Colonel Dwy r. the United States
district attorne y, and told him I would give
up everything I know."
Fein was in conference with United States
District Attorney Dyer, and it is said he
related that names of foreigners who in
tended coming to the United States were
obtnined before they had started, and nat
uralization papers, fraudulently secured,
were sent to them.
PASS RESOLUTIONS AND
DENOUNCE MACARTHUR
German Societies Resent the Re
marks Made Concerning Loy
alty of the Foreigners.
At a meeting of the Federation of Ger
man Societies of this city, held Tuesday,
resolutions were adopted denouncing Major
General MacArthur, commander of the De
partment of the Philippines, for remarks
he made recently regarding the loyalty of
the German-American citizen. The resolu
tions were sent to the President.
In the resolutions It is set forth that Gen
eral MacArthur said, while in Honolulu,
that a wnr between the United States end
Germany was inevitable; that the Pan-Germanic
doctrine was taking hold of the Ger

STATEMENT BY BRYAX
A special meeting of the State Board of
Medical Examination and Registration was
held yesterdijy afternoon at the Claypool
Hotel to confer with the authorities of the
Indiana University at Bloominpton relative
to the recognition of the State University
as a medical college as far as the first two
years of the four-year medical course arc
concerned. The State University was rep
resented by Dr. William Lowe Bryan, presi
dent of the university, and Dr. Myers, pro
fessor of anatomy in the medical depart
ment. The proposition made by the St it.
University was that the two years of med
ical work now given at that institution be
recognized by the State board. Thö last
two years of tho course, which requires
clinical work, could be taken by the student
at any medical college of good standing.
Indiana University some time ago estab
lished a medical school for the purpose of
giving the students of the state institution
an opportunity to secure a medical educa
tion as far as the junior year ia any four
year medical college. The State Board of
Medical Examination and Registration,
however, refused to recognize Indiana Uni
versity as a medical college, and announe
that any persons taking up medical work
there would be refused admission to prac
tice in this Stale, even though they grad
uated from other recognized schools where
the Indiana University credits had beeu
accepted.
The State University, in order to place its
Medical College on a plane with the very
best In the country, made the entrance re
quirements to that department of educa
tion higher than those required by any
other medical college in the State. In spite
of the excellent standing of the State Uni
versity, the board yesterday hesitated to
give it any recognition and adjourned
without even giving it full consideration.
Dr. Bryan said last night: "We have the
assurance from many States In the Union
that our college will be recognized by them
and the move made by the State Univ. rity
has the approval of the highest medical
authorities in the country, still we are not
to be recognized in our own State. By
turning down the State University yester
day the Board of Examination practically
forces students who attend college at
Bloomlngton to seek other States to prac
tice their profession. It Is absurd to re
fuse Indiana University recognition when
the requirements for admission are higher
than any other medical college in the
State, but instead of making me angry, as
some people suggested it should, lt has
afforded me amusement because of the
ridiculous position in which the board has
placed itself. Why should the nu ll al de
partment be deprived of recognition in In
diana when it is gladly recognized by other
States? The board did not feel that it
would be fair, one of the members stated
yesterday, to give Indiana University any
consideration as a medical school because
It might injure the prospects of the two
colleges in Indianapolis. That was a frank
statement."
On account of the two medical colleges
here In Indianapolis it was said yesterday
by a member of the board it was considered
best to refuse the proposition offered by the
Indiana University authorities. It was
feared that recognition of the State Univer
sity as a medical college would hamper the
colleges in Indianapolis in securing students
and probably would work their ruin.
