MITCHELL WILLING TO STOP
t Washington Oct 4There will be
i no call for an extra session of congress
to deal with the coal strike situation
at this stage The president expressly
stated In his appeal to the operators
and representatives of the miners yes
tattler that he did not act officially
In calling them together lie has for
tbe time being exhausted his resourc
es In his view the matter Is again call
with which tbe state of Pennsylvania
I should deal
Hence grunt anthracite coal strike
Is as far from settlement as It ever was
If the result of tbe conference between
President Roosevelt tho coal opera
tors and President Mitchell represent
log the jnlners be taken as any In i
dication The situation now reaches
a gravity that is appalling and well
nigh terrifying The operators grim
ly hold to their determination not to
recognize the union and unless this
i Is done Ibo hope of settling the strike
seems far distant
The conference with Preside at
Roosevelt resulted in nothing No
agreement was reached and nothing
looking to a future agreement seems
In sight at present There will tie co
more conferences with the president
President Mitchell told President
Roosevelt and the coal operators that
atof IIf
I he was willing for the president of
the United Slats to appoint a com
mittee to adjust the differences with
out suggestion and gave assurances
thai the miners would abide by tbe
result even If It was decided against
them This the ooal operators refused
absolutely to accede to and they nude
soon a declaration In terms that could 1

President Roosevelt and the admin
istration officials who have been In
conference with him on this Important
matter feel deeply chagrined at the
outcome They had felt a degree of
confidence that the differences could
be amicably adjusted when the coal
operators and mine officials came face
to face Ho appealed to them from a
standpoint of patriotism and ho saw
this fall
I r President Baer of the Philadelphia
and Heading railroad said among
I other things In his reply to the prop I
coition made
We represent the owners of coal
mines In Pennsylvania There are
from 15000 to 20000 men at work
mining and preparing coal They are
abused assaulted injured and mal
treated by the United Mine Workers
They can work only under the protect

Big Suits
UNION DEPOT SUIT DISMISSED
The state board of valuation and i
assessment at Frankfort has just
heard three motions tiled by Revenue
Agent Frank A Lucas of Paducah
against the Illinois Central Railroad
company and dismissed two of them
and took the other under consider i
lion The two which were dismissed
were for the assessment for fran i
chlse tax purposes of the Cairo Bridge
company and oftbe Paducah Union
Depot company The board decided
included I
ed In the franchise assessment of th e
Illinois Central company
The third and most Important mo
mOitlon
tlon was to compel the Chicago St
Louis and New Orleans Ballroad
company which owns all of the lines
In Kentucky which ate operated by
Ibo Illinois Central company to pay
a franchise tax as lessor to the till
nol Central company for nine year s
back amounting to many thousand
dollars Mr Lucas position In the
matter is fast the C St Laad N
O company exercises the right of
property holder In the state the same
as does the operator of Its lines of
road The matter will be heard by
the board after notice to the com i
pany
The C St L and N O company i s
but a part of the Illinois Central com >
panT Under Its charter granted by
the Mate of Illinois the Illinois Central
company cannot own any lines outside
of that state and It operates In Ken i
tucky through the O St L and N
O company which Is owned by the
same stockholders It is not thought
that the state board will sustain Mr
Lucas motion
Mr Lucas is losing most of his suits
It seems and only recently lost one

Darnell at TIptonvllle Tonn some
time ago and has also secured a
change of venue to Jackson Tenn
and Is out on bond Ho was tried
last week at TIptonvllle and given

surprise as the young man from
Fulton had been made to leave Tip
tonville by Darnell on account of a j J
misunderstanding over a telephone
conversation with his wife and had
returned to rent some property when
they met Ina drug store and Dar t
nell was killed He had threatened t
to kill Beailey and the killing was
generally regarded ns justifiable I
It is claimed that the verdict result
ed from feeling In favor of Darnell j
who had killed several men If rumors 0
are correct and had the whole com e
mnnlty bluffed If Darnell didnt t
want a mm to live In TlptonvlIIo the e
man bad to move or his friends would u

between a ongshoreman and a roniU
bout Is t that one gees with the vessel
and other remains on shore McDon
aid had to get into the car out of the

Ho seems to bare a pretty good Idea
of tbe law and said that If the court
had not dismissed the case he should
bare demanded the presence of the
nearest English consul which every
Englishman has a right to do He
said that Americans away from homo
do not appear to know their rights
but that every Englishman does and
that he will demand the consul in
nine times out of ten when arrested
and has a right to his appearance In
court He said under the constitution
no one can be arrested except on a war
rant unless the officer sees the com
mission of the offense He was too
slick sd be was allowed to leave town
after declining to tell why he was so
far from the coast
