Chicago, Dec. 17.—After an all day session of the Prohibition nation- al executive committee, where heated debate varied from personal invective and villification of motive to a demand for prayer for guidance, National Chairman Oliver W, Stewart of Chi- cago was at midnight deemed a neces: sary sacrifice to party harmony and his resignation was practically de- manded by a vote of 24 to 20 of the members of the national committee. With Treasurer Samuel 8. Dickie of Michigan, Judge A. A. Stevens of Pennsylvania and A, G. Wolfenbarger as the leaders of his opponents Stew- < art fought all day for personal vindi- cation, but his followers were in the minority and the following resolution was adopted at the end of the day: “The national executive committee records its opinion that in the con- duct of the national campaign O. W. Stewart has not been guilty of mis- appropriating to his own use, either a8 an individual, or as a candidate, any funds of the national committee or of any other dishonest act. But in view of certain controversies and for the sake of harmony we deem it unwise for Mr, Stewart to continue in his present relations to said national committee.” Robert H. Patton of Springfield, Il was elected chairman to succeed Oli- ver W. Stewart, LEITER VISITS GOVERNOR. Discusses the Strike Situation at Zeigler, 11l Springfield, I, Dec, 17.—Joseph Leiter, owner of the coal mine at Zoiglet, county and Attorney Platt of Chicago, counsel - for Mr. Leiter, arvived in Bpringfield during the day and had a long talk with Governor Yates over the situation at Zeigler. Mr. Leiter gave his version of the troubles be: iween the union miners and himself. Mr. Leiter said: “Major Elliott has not been asked to furnish troaps to guard new miners since he has been in command, for ng new miners have been brought ta Zeigler since that time. It is not true that we are violating the state law against importing strike breakers inta the state under a false pretense. The written eontract which they sign states that there 1s a strike on.” Sheriff Stein of Franklin} .opening last August.
