A HALF MILLION MINERS
Hive UN Down Their Took and Remain
on Top fo Wait Settlement
Indianapolis. April Although
half a million members of tin Γ tilled j
Mine Workers ->f America have j
<-rased work, awaiting granting of j
wage demand» 1>> coal operators,
there was nothing at headquarters j
Monday to Indicate that anything un- !
usual had happened. All officials ;
an- out of the city, and a corps of 1
clerks and stenographers are in I
charge of the offices, President Milch- j
ell is at New York to meet anthracite I
operators in a final effort to arrive j
at an agreement. Vice President i
Lewis is in Ohio directing the strike
in that state. Secretary Treasurer
Wilson· is at Clearfield, Pa., attend
ing the joint conference of the Cen
tral Pennsylvania district.
Feeling at national headquarters
of miners concerning the situation In
the bituminous coal fields is hopeful,
it was known that the Pittsburg
Coal company would sign the scale,
and it was thought many independ
ent operators would do likewise.
Advice from Philadelphia stated
that firemen, engineers and pump
men, who are not affected by the
coal strike, reported for work as us
ual in the Pennsylvania district, but
it was apparent that the scores of
empty cars which have been hurried
to the collieries will not be needed
unless President Mitchell and the
coal presidents reach an agreement. |

CASE Of MUCH INTEREST
Defendant in Diverse Sail Once Defend
ant in Criminal Action.
\ cast· of more than ordinary in
terest is now on trial in I he district
'oiirt Thi' litigants are Mrs. Η. P.
Tomlln and Henry Tomlln, each of
whom is. plaint iff and defendant in
the cruise before the court. Mrs.
Tomlln H plaintiff in a sui for di
vorce and defendarU in proceedings
instituted l>> Tomlln for a partition
ttf property.
Intrest i.. attracted to this case
because of the defendant in the di
vorce suit having served a portion
nf a life term in the penitentiary On
March 2S, 1 sss, he was convicted in
the district court of Kills county on
ι charge of criminal assault and his
punishment assessed at a life term
ti the penitentiary. After spending
ibout I f> years behind the prison's ,
ivalIs he was pardoned by Gov. I.un
!iam something like two years ago. ,
He Immediately returned to Ellis ■
county and has been making his
home at Ennis. Soon after his re- j
ease from state's prison a suit for di- ι
ιοί-ce was instituted against him
by his wife.
Tomlln is perhaps the only man
ivbo ever spent a term in the peniten
iar without working. During the <
sixteen years he was in prison he ,
ivorked sixteen days, and then de- ]
•lined to do any further labor for
the state. He said he owed the
state nothing and did not propose to i
work for the state. He was subject
(1 to all kinds of punishment, but ,
.vas unrelenting in his determination, ,
:o perform no kind of menial labor.] .
He was kept confined seven years 1 ni
λ «unall dark cell and allowed to seej
no one but the guord who took him !
his meals. Several times the prison
officials promised to make applica
tion for a pardon for him if he would
work a day or eVen half a day, but
his answer was always the same that .
he owed the state nothing. |

Election in fray Dislrkt.v.
St Pete rub urg. April Ι» lh<·
elections of workmen within the Un
it of St. Petersburg proper, held Sun
day. preceding elections to municipal
convention here, which in turn will
elect six member» of the lower houwe
of parliament, the ballotΙηκ of work
men was aIπιο»! as» complete a farce
as were the elections- of a fortnight
ago in the bigger factories outside
the city. Latter κ representatives par
ticipate in the provincial convention
and the former take part in the St.
Petersburg municipal convention
Out of sixty-seven establishments the
workmen of twenty-nine boycotted
the elections, voted, and those elect
ed were about one-half constitutional
Democrats and the other half Conser
vatives or members of the "Black
Hand," as they are now popularly
termed. One man elected is now in
prison and another declined to accept
an election for fear it would subject
him to persecution. M. Oushakogg,
one of the delegates chosen, is sup
erintendent of the state printing of
fice and chief of the independent
Workmen's party, which, like the
famous Zubatoff organization, is con
sidered to be a creature of the min-1
istrv of the interior. Delegates of I
workmen outside pf the city, who
had previously been elected, simply
went through the form of selecting
candidates for the provincial conven
tion. A number of them have been
arrested since the elections and only
seventy-two appeared at the meeting.
They chose four Progressives and
four Conservatives.
