Damage Suits Follow a Fire, As the result of the Tremont house fire in Marshalltown a few weeks ago two suits for damages have been commenced in court agalnst persons who are part owners in the property. Mabel Myeérs, an employe of the hotel was compelled to jump from a thind story window to, the ground and she sustained injuries to her back, spine and body which will remain with her through life. . She asks for $5,000 damages. Birdic Hart, another of the emplayes, asks the same sum because she was compelled to jump from & third-story window to the ground wnd broke a leg in so doing. The basis of the clalm for liabllity is that the owneérs of the hotel had refused to comply with the ordinances of the city in the mat- ter of suitable fire escapes. Coal im Chickasaw County. + There is great excitement in Chickasaw conl‘y. near the town of Republic, over a ‘digcovery of coal. It is claimed that a weln of good coal has been found at a-depth of 170 feet the veln is from five to seven feet thick. This s in a part of the state where no coal mines have ever been operated and It was not known any coal existed there. The farmers are refusing ta pell their land at any price in that part of the state. It is near the town of Fred- erika, where a discovery of oil from the M has been pussling the people the !“! o Framchise Election. -~ been put in proper shape for a vote of the people and the action of the mayor in call- ing a speclal election was therefore il- legal. There has been a controversy for some time over this franchise matter, and the election was set for two different dates, but now the court declares that it must all be done over~again. The franchise is op- posed by the owners of the presenmt city raflway, Sentenced for Twenty-Five Years Albert Smith, who shot and killed Bruce Martin in a saloon row in February, was today sentenced to twenty-five years in the penitentiary for his erime. The evidence showed that it was an unprovoked murder and that while there had been a quarrel lasting some time Martin had started to go away, when Smith attacked and killed him. The Miners' Convention. At noon today, when the jolnt scalo com- mittee adjourned to 2 p. m. Monday, It was no mearer settlement of the shot firing question and the uniform day wage scale than two weeks ago. The indications are that the committee will be obliged to meet every day next week. Although magy points of minor importance have been agreed upon by both parties the main ques- tions are etill unsettled. The first real broaching of the shot firing question in committee was when the operators proposed that certificates be Issued by the state mine inspectors to competent shot firers, and that of such men be paid by the o that the majority of miners should have the say, as to whether or mot regular shot firers shall be employed in thoir mine. This resolution is opposed by the miners' committee of the joint commit- tee on scale. They say they want the shot firing rule to apply to all mines where coal is blasted from the solid, and the company shall employ the shot firers, not the miners. They also insist that the question of whether one or two shots shall be fired per day must rest with the miners and not the operators, The operators sgy they ought~to have the de:iding power, for in many cases they might want more.coal dug than could be brought cut after only pne shot per day. They say the miners would get more money each day for their work if they mined more would be the case if two shots at noon and night were set off, and that if they are able to load more coal each day at the regular 85, 90 cents or $1 scale, they ought to be willing to pay the cost of the extra help such as the shot firers would be. Also that the miners would be benefited further in that they would avold the. dangers at- tending such firing, which feature of the work was emphasized by the Lost Creek dis- aster.

WASHINGTON, March 22.—The house to- day entered upon the consideration of the contested election case of Moss against Rhea, from the Third Kentucky district! In this case the committee on elections di- vided on party lines, the majority sus- taining the view that Mr. Moss had been €lected and the minority that Mr. Rhea, the democrat, was entitled to retaln his seat. In the face of the return Mr. Rhea had 156 plurality. According to the contention of the majority certain votes rejected under the Goebel election law would trans- form this plurality for Rhea into a plurality tor Moss of T1. Mr. Mann of Illinols and Mr. Smith of Iowa spoke for the majority today and Mr. Burgess of Texas for the minority. An agreement was made whereby the vote shall be taken next Tuesday. Before taking up this case the unanimous report of the committee #in the case of Spears against Burpett, from the Seventh Alabama district, gonfirming the jut of the sitting member to his seat was adopted.

That there s a difference of opiulon is evident. The oonservative element, comprising & majority of the dele- gates from districts 7 and 9, Is known to favor referring finai decision to a commit- Lee composed of President Mitchell and District Presidents Nicholls, Fahy and Dufty. This proposition 1s opposed by what are known here as radicals, who represent principally, district No. 1, comprieing the Wyoming and Lackawanna regions, and a few of the delegates from the two lower dis- tricts. Thesp delegates insist on the adoption of a resolution allowing the operators until April 1 in which to grant the concessions demanded in the wage scale, and, if this time limit e fixed, they say they have no objection to placing the matter in the bandis of the committee named. President Mitchell was In conference with President Fahy of district 9 uptil after midnight, but the subject under discussion ie not known. The convention was called to order shortly after 9 o'clock this morning and conslderation gf the scale was resumed. Difference of opinion on matters per- taining to the wage scale prevented a final adjustment today in Districts Nos. 1, 7 and 9, of the mine workers. After being In session for three hqurs the convention ad- journed to meey Monday, and many of the delegates rt that a conclusion will not be reached that day. President Mitchell announced that the scale committee’s report had been adopted but declified to state the Dature of matters now under discussion. It is understood that & committee was ap- pointed to draft resolutions covering the scale committee’'s report. These resolu- tions, It 1 1d, will be presented Monda AVERT STRIKE FOR PRESENT Conterence of Paper Makers and Clvie Federation Accomplishes Tem: porary Results, . NEW YORK, March 22.—Representatives of manufacturers of newspaper and of labor unions Interested in the paper trade had a conference today. It was called By Secre- tary Basley of the National Civic Federa- tion to avert, if possible, a threatened strike of the men employed in the paper mills. The men had said tfey would go out in the near future unless the different companies made certain concessions in thelr favor. Up to six months ago the men worked twelye hours a day and six days a week. This did not suit the employers and it was decided that as a schedule of eight hours a day would be put in force, with seven days’ work instead of six. ,The labor unions would not indorse this schedule, as it s one of their rules that no work be done Sun- days. The employers wished to keep to the new rule on accouht of the necessity of ueing the pulp before it became dry. per week. The m wers strongly ob- overtime at the rate of 40 cents per hour for undays and holidays.. They also re- fuse to accede to*thu demands for eight hours. GENERAL ADVANQE IN GLASS All Kinds of Wi INDIANAPOLIS, March 22.—A gene vance in prices of window glass of all sizes is expected to result from the combination effected at Munciq this week by the glass manufacturers outside 'of the two trus | the American Window Glass company the Independent Glass company. The real significunce of the organizatioy effected is not appreciated, glass men say. At that meeting forty-eight factories from the states of Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Ohlo were rep- resented. They included practically all (he glass manufacturers of the country who were not in either of the other two combi- nations. With the new combination the trusts can fix prices to suit themselves, it 18 said. It is expected that representatives from the three combinations will meet in a few days to arrange a mew scale of prices. A general’ advance will then be ordered, but how much is not known. An advance of 20 per cent would not be surprising, glass men say. Thé advance would be the grentest on the small sizes of gla IN MINES PREDICTS STRIKE omet of Labor Union Forecasts Tieup Involving Thirty-Five The: a Men.

BRIDGE WORKERS MAY BOLT and all other iron work on bulldings In the course of construction In New York will come to a sudden stop on May 1 mext.

DENIES «HIS ATTEMPT TO EVADE LAW wel tor Power Admits Reyponsi- Bllity for Serving Papers on er Preten: at His Restdence. NEW YORK, March 22.—Concerning tha sereice of a subpoena on J. Plerpont Mor- gan in'the suit of Peter Power agalnst tho Northern Pacific Rallroad Company, Fran- ois Lynde Stetson, counsel for Mr. Morgan, today made the following statement: “In several of the newspapers of this morning have appepred Iitems suggesting that the counsel representing Mr. Peter Power in his suit agalnst the Northern Pa- cific Railway company had found or anticl- pated some difficulty in eecuring the at- tendance asa witness of either Mr. J. P. Morgan or some member of his firm, “Any such suggestion, whether or not #0 intended, is deflance of the facts and without any justification whatever. Mr. Perkins of the firm has already appeared and been examined. Mr.'Steele of the firm was ready to appear yesterday at the time appointed, but his examination was post- poned, not at his request, but at the re- quest of Judge Lancaster for the plalntift. “Yesterday afternoon Mr. Morgan re- turned to the city, trom which e had been absent during the pendency of these pro- ceedings! of which he knew nothing until on Thureday in Washington. Immediately on learning of the desire for his examina- tion he instricted me to advise Mr. Powers’ coupsel that he would attend at amy time without subpoena. At once I so advised the counsel, who answered that this would be entirely satisfactory, and accordingly we arranged for Mr. Morgan's voluntary ap- pearance next week. Caught in His House. “Apparently because of the inabllity of the counsel wto reach his process servers, for which miscarriage he has written to me expressing regret, Mr. Morgan was served last evening with a subpoena by a mes- senger, who obtained admission to, his bouse upon the understanding of. Mr. Morgan that the messenger had come from my office— a statement for which Mr. Powets' counsel disclaims any responsibility and expresses regret If any such statement was made. “It ‘may be a matter of news, but it, hardly can be a matter of.general satle- taction, that admission to the private house ot any gentleman should be obtalned as ated in this morning's papers, by ruse, which of course means by deception. In any case such a proceeding would he one for which reputable counsel naturally would desire to, disclaim responsibility. In- this case any such proceeding was unnecessary George Alfred Lamb, of counsel for Peter Power, made the following statement to- night: 1 ccept tull responsibility for the. service u . Morgan and the manner in made. 1 had full reason to believe tHat Mr. Morgan would not wil- lingly accept service, and in making service in the manner in which he did the process server employed by me merely fulfilled his duty as a process serve Tried to Arrange with Kelloss. 1 had previously endeavored to arrange with Mr. Francis H. Kellogg, general coun- sel for the Northern Pacific Rallroad com- pany, that witnesses In the case of Power inst the Northern Pacific Railroad com- pany should be produced without service of Subpoena and at times that might be mu- tual lz agreed upor. Although Mr. Kellogg in the first Instance agreed with Judge Lancaster and myself at Minneapolls that he would endeavor to arrange this, he sub- sequently ammounced his fallure to do =0 and notified me that I must obtain the tes- timony of Witnesses as best 1 could. It therefore became my duty to my client to use every method of vigilance to obtain service on witnesses whose testimony | desired. Until 4:30 yesterday I had recelved no notification that Mr, Morgan would vol untarily testity, but'I had been led to be lleve that he would not testify unless he was duly subpoenaed. It is regrettable that upon secelpt of this ‘notification I was un: able to recall all my subpoena servers, but I do not agree with the eonclusions reached by Nr, Steudon. There are no ethica about the Betvice of a process. When a lawyer ives a process server a paper to serve- it ecomes the duty of the process server (o ferve the paper with the leagt dalay and in any manner that presents itself,” It ig justifiable for a process server to- make service in any manner and by any means, and 1 certainly will not repudiate the act of & men who was employed by me who sought to serve me zealously.
