NO COAL COMPANY SPECIFIED.
Large Amount of Technical Testinfony
Introduced .^n_v*rLolf* o1
the Question at Issue? Delaware I
and Hudson Present* Figures.
Scranton. Pa.. Dec. 11.?The most
lntoreating. If not the most Import
ant. testimony brought out at jester
day's session of the coal strike" com
mission was to the effect that an si
leged attempt was made by a former
mine foreman to bribe two presidents
of local unions of the miners to; have
10 men in each local use their Influ
ence to have a resolution passed send
ing the men to work, thus making a
Berlous break in the solid ranks of the
strikers. Each of the presidents was
to receive $2,500 and a good position
as mine foreman, and each of the 10
men were to get from $100 to $2^0
each. The name of no company was
mentioned in connection with the
bribery scheme and none of the law
yers cross-examined the witnesses.
The large coal companies havo taken
notice of the testimony 'which has
been presented against the Coxe an l
Marklo companies. During the after
noon session David Willcox. vice pres
ldent of the Delaware and Hudson and
general counsel for the company. pJ
dressed the commission and protested
vigorously against the commission
holding his company responsible for
conditions that may exist at the Coxe
and Markle mines. He was qulckl*
stopped by Chairman Gray, who said
that the commission did not intend t.T
hold any company rcsponFlble for
whatever special conditions may ex
1st In other parts of the coal field*;
While none of the attorneys for the
other coal carrying roads said anyi
thing to the commission, they stated
prlvntely that Mr. Wlllcox's attitude
in the matter had their endorsement
Technical Testimony.
A large amount of technical testl
mony was neard on various phases of
the question at issue. Two check
welghmcn produced figures which
tended to show that at two of the Del
aware and Hudson collieries the mln
ors produced 110,839 tons of coal more
than they were paid for. The miners
must bring up 3.130 pounds of coal
and dirt to make a ton of 2.240 pounds
of pure coal, and the union claims that
the company gets more than 2-240t
pounds of coal out of each "minor s
ton of 3.1 and produced official fig
ures to prove It.
The Delaware and Hudson company
presented its figures to the commls
slon yesterday, they being the first
certificated statistics to be handed in
They show the average earnings of the
miner in 1901 to have been $622.58
and his laborer, $449.47. When Mr
Mitchell was on the stand he said that
$<?00 should be the minimum of Ameri
can living wages.
Calling of Witnesses.
The first half hour of the afternoon
session was consumed in trying to
reach an understanding regarding the
calling on witnesses by both sides
David Willcox, vice president of and
general counsel for the Delaware am1
Hudson company, did not think that
the miners' side should present new
witnesses after they had closed their
case. At the morning session tho
miners asked the commlssjpn to.jjgr
mlt them to do so. #lf the operators iat
tempted to pile up cumulative evl
dence on any particular phase of the
controversy. Mr. Willcox said that
little of the testimony so far submit
ted had anything to do with the four
alleged grievances submitted to tho
commission.
Simon P. Wolverton, for the Read
ing company, presented the answer of
General Superintendent LuthcM^f the
same company, to the question pro
pounded last Saturday by Commis
sloner Watklns as to whether the com
pany anil the miners had c%ftpl!ei
with the agreement which ended tho
1900 strike, to make an effort to es
tabllsh harmonious relations. The an
swer was to the cfTect that solfar as
Mr. Luther knew all grlevaiTilis re
ported to the company by thl men
have been amicably adjusted. t
As Mr. Darrow was not ready) to go
on with witnesses the commission ad
journed 50 minutes earlier than'usual.

An arousing and character Stic story
Is told of Lord Beaconslleld in the
days when he was wooing Mrs. I>cwi&
to whom in later years of married life
bo wua so touchlngly devoted.
One day Mrs. Lewis, who was then
living in retirement at her seat in 01a
morganshire. enw n gentleman walking
leisurely up the drive. "Ja"c' "h* '
claimed to an old servant. I rrallj-be
lieve that horrid man Disraeli 1* ??1U"
lug up the drive. I>o. please, run to the
door nnd say I'm not at home Jane
opened the door to the undeslred caller
and gravely announced her message.
??I know," Disraeli coolly answered,
"but take my bag to a bedroom and
prepare luncheon. I will wait until
Mi*. I-owIo Is ready to come down
stairs." which, of course. Mrs. Lewis
felt compelled to do a few minutes
"Oh dear, what can I do with such
an obstinate, thick skinned man?" the
widow asked desperately later in the
rtav when Disraeli showed no sign or
raising the siege. "Marry hira. I sup
pose. ma'am." was Jane's philosophic
answer, and, as the wqrld knows, the
persistent wooer had lw^way |n the
end in this as In most otlie* things in
life.
A Judge, not long deceased, used, to
tell a diverting story of his wooing. In.
those days he was a struggling and ob
scure lawyer without even the prospect
of an income, and the woman ou whom
he had set his affections was the
daughter of a purse proud man with a
high sounding name who was strongly
opposed to giving his daughter to a
"penniless lawyer."
"Do you know, sir," the father thun
dered when he was asked for his
daughter's hand?"do you know, sir,
that my daughter's ancestors have all
been noblemen and that one of them
was a favorite minister of Queen Eliza
beth?" "Oh. yes. I know all that." the
young barrister placidly answered,
"and do you know that Queen Eliza
beth once slapped your ancestor's face,
and unless you are more civil I will.do
the snmc for you?" It is scarcely M?"
