STATES AGAINST THE DEMANDS
Trustee of Big Devlin Coal Mines Is
sues Manifesto.
Topeka. Kas., April 7 J. E. Hur
ley, general manager of the Santa Fe,
and one of the trustees of the Devlin
estate, issued n statement Udny
against granting the demands of the
miners, which is of unusual, impor
tance, as he speaks for one of die
largest coiiMimirs as W'j'l as one of
the largest producers of coal in the
Southwest.
The statement says: "It is regret
ted that there are disturbed relations
between the opera torn nnd tho miners,
and that there may be n necessity of
managing the mines with other men.
Tho demands made by the miners
would mean, ns I compute it, n net in
crease of approximately thirty per
cent per ton in tho cost of mining."
Tho statement reviews tho condi
tions prevailing in tho Devlin mines
nnd says that they are operated nt a
loss.
EIGHTEEN PER CENT SIGNED-
Indianapolis, Ind., April 7. Eight
een per cent of the total tonnage of
Indiana have signed up the ninctecn

NEITHER CAN COMMAND MA-
" JORITY ON RATE BILL.
VOTING TIME UNDECIDED
There Are 55 Active Republicans and
33 Democrats in the Senate Till
man Gives the Line-Up.
World Washington Bureau.
Washington, April 7. The reason
no agreement has been reached in the
senate for a vote on the railroad rate
bill is that neither side is assured that
it has enough votes to win. There
are fifty-five active Republicans nnd
thirty-three Democrats. Neither Sen
ator Tillman, tho bill's leader, nor
the conservatives, headed by Senator
Aldricli, are yet satisfied that they
command fortv-fivc votes.
Tilmnn today said: "The president
has apparently burned his bridges be
hind him. lie advanced a proposition
unacceptable to a majority of his par
ty and has called in tho Democrats.
Wo can give him twenty-eight votes
for n limited court review amendment,
and the suspension of rates pending
proceedings in court. Whatever votes
are lacking, the president must sup
ply from tho Republican ranks."
Crane, speaking for the conserva
tives, said that 40 Republicans were
ready to vote for the broad court re
view amendment. This means that
five Democrat votes nre needed. Tak
ing the two statements together tho
probabilities seem to favor the adop
tion of the broad court review amend
ment which embraces cash deposit
with the court to cover the difference
between the original rate nnd the
commission's rate for the protection
of the shipper.
MORE TIME

Monday morning the Daily World will commence to do job work

THERE'LL BE
GOBBLING OF TERRITORY COAL
RIGHTS PREVENTED.
NEITHER SALE NOR LEASE
A Certainty That the President Would
Havo Vetoed the Bill With the
Grab3 Still in It.
Washington, April 7. Tho con
ference committee in chargo of thu
live tribes bill agreed upon a provision
this afternoon which will prevent the
railroads from further extending their
control over the coal fields of the In
dian Territory. Under this provision
no more of the coal lands can bo cith
er leased or Hold "until such time as
may be otherwise provided."
Under the provision of tho bill as
first reported several railways were in
a position to secure by leaso or pur
chase Indian lauds, which Senator La
Folctte said are worth 4 billion dol
lars, for a few millions. LnFololtc's
estimate of tho value of die lands
was said by the railway interests to
be extravogent.
The action of the committee result
ed from the disclosures made in tho
senate by Senator LaFolette, who ex
posed tho plans of the railroads to ac
quire the coal lands at a ridiculously
low price. TJie members of tho com
mittee were also influenced by inform
ation that if the bill as passed con
tained the provision advocated by the
lobbyists of the railroads, President
Roosevelt would veto it. . With the
certainty of defeat ahead, the lobby
ists made no serious effort today to
have the legislation they desire re
tained in the bill. It was rejected by
the committee practically without discussion.

Mill Creek. 1. T., April 7-Tho dis
trict convention of the Iiidialioina
fanners' union for the Twenty-second
recording district of the CliickaMv
nation concluded its labors here today
after a two days' session. At one

THREE MILLION
FOR IMPROVING
AND DEVELOPING THE MIDLAND
VALLEY RAILROAD.
AND EXTENDING THE LINE
From Arkansas City to McPhorsom
Kansas, and Then Will Go South
To Gulf of Mexico.
The Mi. Hand Valley Railroad com
pany will keep up with the procession,
no matter how fast tho pace may be
set. As their expansion, extension,
and improvements are all directly or
iudirec'ly tributary to the welfare of
Tulsa, Tulsa citizens will bo pleased
to hear thq following:
Three million dollars has been set
apart by the ollicers and stockholders
for the express purpose of extending
the line from ArkansasCily to Mcl'her-
soii, Kas., there to connect with the
Union Pacific. This money has not
been borrowed in any way, and it will
not be expended for rolling stock. It
is for the road bed and other equip
ment.
This is not nil. The company will,
ns soon as able, turn their faces south
ward and will carry their lino from
Fort Smith, Arkansas, to deep water
at tho Gulf.
Already a largo business has been
done with Southern points by this
road. In April alone, for instance,
l,.r)00 ear loads of Texas cattlo were
brought into the Territory by the
Midland Valley, unloaded at Foraker
and Myers, dipped into the vats and
turned looso on the rich grasses in
the Osage country there to grow fat
and get ready for market. These cat
tle came from Brady, Sandown, (Join-
stock, Sweet water, Odessa and SanAn-
gelo, nil in Texas.
There is an immense territory north
and south of Tulsa from which the
Midland Valley can draw the richest
resources and it will not be slow in
extending so as to capture all in
sight.

San Antonio, Texas, April 7. A
Scripps-M'cRao man rode with Alex

-ion, from the Mexican border to
San Antonio this morning. 1 Dowie
does not call newspaper men uiu'loari

Pullman. As he spoke, his nu:e mas
tered him lime and time .main, nnd
he roared out statements which re
sounded through the car. lie said:
"I will drive my wife and my son
from (he city of Cod. They are un
natural and possessed of devils. Tim
love of (ind has died in their hearts.
I have been line to every trust placed
in me, and to Cod alone am I ac
countable, and not to those I placed
in stewardship. The charges of ex
travagance are foul, and the mout'i
ings of a curse. That I taught poly
gamy is a devil born lie. That I havo
been guilty of improper relations with
youthful proselytes is a slander that
the might of a just Cod will avenge
upon the high priests of iniquity who
longed for my death. My people havov
twenty-one million dollars, and tin
debts of Zion nre as a nude to a moun
tain. The receivership curUilinr; of
my commands the their illegal acts,
and in the courts, as well as with my
l and, I will finite them and lay them
low. Women may prove n downfall
to the prophets of old, but they can
cast no spell upon modern phophets.
It is a lie to say that I lost millions in
Wall street, n lie which will choke
my accusers as (heir souls depart wilh
the lustful letters pnrxirting to have
been written by me, which I will prove
by putting their creators behind prbf
