It assumes, further, that if a business can- not pay fair wages the employer ought to get out of it Try to Show Combine. The mine workers much importance on the evidence they pro- duced coal companies and that the roads charged exorbitant and discriminating freight rates, thus increasing the revenues of the mining properties. The early part of the afternoon was ta- ken up in hearing witnesses in the employ of the Reading company, after which Mr. Darrow announced the close of his case, excepting that he would, call one witness tomorrow on a matter ‘entirely different from anything that had been offered. “I will present a table,” he said, “show- ing fluctuations in the anthracite industry as to thd tonnage mined In the past ten years and the amount turned out per man. We will claim, of course, that the last year is not a fair criterion as to the amount of wages that a miner should earn. “We may, at some future time, want to, ask some questions about combinations of various railroad presidents when we get but we not them before this commission, leave that as it is; want to ask that.” The Chairman—Well, we will have to de- clde when questions of that kind come be- fore us. ‘The scope of our inquiry is to investigate and decide upon the matters in controversy between the anthreeite we may or may the letter of submission or those who have intervened since. The question of a coal trust cannot be investigated here. 1 take it that this commission will con- sider that it has quite enough to do to de- cide the important issues that now com- stitute the controversy, and without d¢ clding anything until it is actually pre- sented, I can state as a general opinion | that ‘we shall be adverse to widening the scope of this "investigation -beyond terms of submission. Mr. Darrow—8till, I take it that the commission’s alithority is a little broader than to inquire into the conditions here, and that it embraces anything that would the tend to the permanent settlement of this matter. I rather inferred that the com- mission would want to know about freights and about between the railroads and the mine own- ers. I also think it has direct bearing on this case. At least omc company any more wages. Brings Ofcial Evidence. Mr. Lloyd then read a syllabus of doc- uments he had prepared. He sald: For the purpose of connecting the pres- ent facts with the past we offer evidence of the causes, character and result of the combinations.’ both of labor and capital In the anthracite coal industry. profits of the business, both of mining and of transportation; the reslations of trans- portation companies to operators and miners and the political and soclal cons duences that have resulted. This evidence thus offered we obtained from the reports of various legislative investig states of New York and Pennsylvania and by congress from 1871 to the present time, and it embraces, we belleve, all the im- ortant Inquiries' of that character which ave been made. Then he started to read an extract from the annual report of the Bureau of Sta- tistics of Labor and Agriculture of Penn- sylvania for 1872 and 1873, showing that the reorganization of labor was made necessary by the previous organization of employers in the anthracite flelds. He submitted five polnts in evidence, as follows: 1. The ownership by certain raflroads of mining properties in the anthracite fields. 2 That men who were directors in_ one mining company are members of boards of dircctors of other railroads and mining companies. 3 Joint resistance of the coal-carrying raflroads to the individual operators bufld- ing Independent road to carry their t at reasonable rates. community of Interests of coal-carrying rallroads and companies. 5. Constant acqulsition of additional un- mined coal by the coal-carrying rallroads. Then he wanted to show that exorbitant frelght rates were charged by the com- panies, and a specific objection wa promptly entered by Simon H. Wolverton, the their mining | counsel for the Reading company. Two of the commissioners had tem- porarily left the room and Judge Gray hee- itated to rule and asked Mr. Lioyd to read something else for the time being. At this suggestion Mr. Lloyd began to present evidence relating to the profits of the coal railroads and mining companies. Mr. Wolverton stopped him again, how- ever, and a long colloquy ensued as to whether freight rates and the profits’ of the two classes of companies could properly be introduced Judge Gray aid mot think so, and went on to make his announcement, that the operators could pay a fair w and if not, ought to get out of busines: Mr. Lloyd seemed satisfied and said he would go mo further, that the principlo thus laid down would be welcomed by the workmen of the country and set a prece- dent. Girls Work All Night, Several little girls employed in stk mills | nearby were called, and as a result the chairman plaiuly gave his opinion of par- ents who send their children to work at a tender age. The first’ girl called was only 11 years old and had to go to work because her father was hurt in the mines. She worked trom 7 & m. until 6 p. m. for $2 a week. In answer to the chalrman, she ssid her father expecled to take her out of the mills next week, to which Judge Gray re- plied that he should be commended.

Chance, supervising special agent of the Treasury ! department, in his annual report, discuss- ing the subject gf undervaluations of im- ported merchandibe The fact that many importers are still obliged to purchase from other importers lines which they would prefer to import themselves, suggests that undervaluation is_practiced. In such cases it has been found particu- larly difficult to ure satisfactory evi- dence of duglable values. Co-operation be- tween importers, who wish to purchase in foreign markets. and sal nts charged with the detection of fraud upon the cus- toms revenue, would accomplish a great deal toward changing these conditions.

THIRTY-SEVEN YEARS IN THE MINISTRY Leaves Lo Record of Charitab Work Among Poor People of Seve eral Citles in Which He Labored as Priest, Death laid its quieting finger upon the 5:30 o'clock last evening and forever rested the earnest soul, the generous heart and the busy hands of the kind old man. The news will sadden the many who have become endearedto him during the five years he has spent in Omaha as the dean of Trinity cathedral and the friend of all them that were in need, but it can | scarcely be a shock, as he been long in poor health and for many days very low At the family home, 2405 St. Mary's av- enue, where his death oceurred, there were assembled his wife, his two young sons and | his maiden sister, Miss Jame Fair, who | came recently trom Dublin to be with him. | He had also a sister, Mrs. John M. Fletchei of Baltimore, Md., and two brothers, T William Fair and John Fair, both of Dub- Iin. At b o'clock yesterday morning Dean Fair's condition grew alarmingly worse, as | at that hour he suffered a severe sinking epell. During the day he gradually grew weaker, until at 4 o'clock he dropped into a peaceful slumber, from which he did not wake, passing away one hour later. The funeral arrangements have not been decided upon, but in accordance with the wishes of the family a service will be held at the cathedral, the remains being taken later to Baltimore, which city was the home of Mrs. Falr, and where the deceased dean once occupled a pastorate. Born Ireland Long before he came to Omaha, in 18! to be dean of Trinity cathedral Campbell Falr was known as one in touch with the poor and the humble, yet he sprang from proud stock and has been a man of study always. Born at Hollymount, county Mayo, llreland, April 28, 1843, he was the third son of John Fair, one of the landed pro- prietors of Ircland, and of Maria Wilson Falr, whose family was prominent in the old banking circles and legal fraternity of Dublin. After his father's death, which oc- curred when the dean was quite young and which left the widow with eight children to rear, Camptell was placed in the hands of a tutor, who prepared him for Trinity coliege, Dublin, from which he graduated with a particular fondness for mathematics and with the intention of becoming a eivil engineer. In the course of a fifteen-month apprenticeship with this in view, however, he became imbued with a strong desire to enter the ministry and eventually took a course in St. Adams' Theological college at Birkenhead. England. From this he grad- uated, in 1865, with the highest honors and was Teady for ordination several months befove he had attained canonical age 3; i and travel. He wi ned Ih':lly o Trinity Sunday, June 9, 1865, at St. Asaph's cathedral, North Wales, by the right rev- erend bishop of Asaph and was imme- dlately appointed to the curatecy of Holy Trinity church, Birkenhead. While there St. Arden’s college, which was considered | quite an honor for ome so young, but did | much work among the laboring men, organ- | izing the Workingmen's Mutual Improve- ment 'soclety of Birkenhead, a local body, | but with large membership, and still in | existence. Recelves Order of Priest. In 1866 he received the order of priest at the hands of the late bishop of Chester and serve as a missionary for the Irish Church | Missions to Roman Catholics. In 1867 he | went to London to become the secretary of | this soclety and was made curate of St Jude's church, Chelsea. It was a mo fashionable locality and he gained influen- tlal friends who were valuable in his later | charitable undertakings. But while traveling for the society he | suffered severe injuries in ® tratn wreck | between Birminghead and Llandudro, es, and the accident was perhaps indi- rectly responsible for his being later In| America~and in Omaha. The shock and | the wounds caused a nervous affection that | cost him his senses of hearing, taste and mell, prematurely whitened his hair and When, after two years' confinement to his bed, he was able | to move about on crutches, the doctors or- | dered & sea voyage, and In 1870, with his mother, he crossed to New York. Physic ians there promptly advised that the win- ter be spent in the south and he went to New Orleans, where he preached upon many occasions balanced upon his crutches and unable to hear ome word his lips framed Electrical treatment eventually restored his senses and one day, while in the pul- pit, he determined to attempt to stand and | walk without his supports. The effort was successful, to the surprise of all present, and the choir burst forth with a hallelujah This occurred in-Christ's church, and in 1571 he was made assistant rector of the same, He practically had entire charge, ae the rector was old and In poer health. His First Marriage. February 1, 1875, he married Alice, youngest daughter of William J. McLean, & retired merchant of New Orleans, and on the same day he accepted the rectorship of St. Ambrose’s church in the slum dis- trict of New York. He and his bride went | there at once, but remained only a short time, as he was called to the rectorship of the Church of the Ascension In La- fayette square, Baltimore. There he re- mained from 1875 to 1886 and broadened his field of labor immeasurably In January, 1883, he married Mary Whitely Stone, eldest daughter of the late James H. Stone of Baitimore. Of the four | children born of this union two survive. Campbell Wilson Falr, aged 19, has been with a Wall street firm for a year past, but is now at the family home, 2405 St of his father. James H. Stone Fair, three is at home. In 1886, Campbell Falr was called to St Mark's church at Grand Rapids, one of the largest and most influential in the diocese of western Michigan. From Grand Raplds he came to Omaha in 1897, called as dean of Trinity cathedral at Eighteenth and Davenport streets. With his public work here the public quite gen- erally i¢ acquainted, although his good deeds were done as by a man who per- mitted not his right band to know what his left was accomplishing for bumanity.

LONDON, Dec. 16.—(New York World Cablegram—Special Telegram.)—Although the government made no explicit declara- tion In favor of arbitration, tonight's de- bates In the Lords and Commons polnted to that solution being adopted it the prop- osition s brought before the government in a shape in which it can accept. Willlam Randall Cremer, M. P., secretary of the International Peace and Arbitra- tion association, said tonight: If the American secretary of state took his stand now as Secretary Olney did under Cleveland on-the Monroe doctrine and advo- cated arbitiation it would be accepted at once and could solve the dicully, of it congress would make a declaration in favor of arbitration it would be equally effective. Sir Charles Dilke was asked if he thought the Venezuelan difficulties could be settled by arbitration, and he answered: I do not profess to any special knowledge on the subject, but I should say not. 1 do not think in dealing with these bankrupt states, where so many get by arbitration, say £10,00 for a clalm of £70,00, that arbitration s good enough. But is bombardment Iikely to get a higher proportion of the_ claim? No. Therefore I think it was a case for sitting still on our part and doing nothing. We are accustomed to being robbed by insolvent states. We have been robbed by Venezuela before and continually by Tur- key, for instance, but have done nothing. We ‘should have done nothing in this case. In view of the evident impossibility ot getting anything from Venezuela by this demonstration, does not the adopting of force at this particular moment seem par- ticularly remarkable? It {s dangerous, especially that we should have been involved with Germany in these proceedings. John Burns, M. P., sald: 1 certainly do think this is a case fol 1 consider the actlon of En, Germany reckless in the extrem: s only another lllustration of the power of companies and trusts. It lies with the American government to say Wi ha! th 1l " n! SFTR Hhsema e vioTehce, hlod ch domo good and contains germs of ul rouble, Orders to Go Slow. An expressed desire for a peaceful met- tlement of the difficulties has been re- celved In London from the Venesuelan government, and orders will be, or have been, sent to the British commander in Venezuelan waters to take no further | aggressive actlon at present, pending a decision being arrived at on the proposition for arbitration, which Lord Lansdowne an- nounced In the House of Lords *is now under consideration by the British govern- ment." Lord Lansdowne added: *‘We are gréatly indebted to the good offices of the United States minister at Caracas. These are the original proposals for- warded by Mr. Bowen, but which have now received strong support from the United States government. In Ambassador Choate's absence the American charge d'affaires s making every effort to arrange some specific method of settlement. He Is in constant communication with the State department at Washington, but noth- ing definite has yet been arranged, though it is understood there is some hope of fur- ther hostilities being averted. The negotiations are handicapped by the absence from London of several of the eab- inet ministers, as before any answer can be given they will probably have to meet. No final decision is expected heéfore Weldnes- day. 1 English Deny R ty. The under forelgn secretary, Lord Cran- born, denied in the House of Commons to- day that the British commander was re- sponsible for the sinking of the Venezuelan ships. He sald his majesty’'s government had | been informed that a German commodore found it necessary to sink two ships, but Great Britain was not responsible for this. Continuing, he said that since the par- lamentary paper giving the Venezuelan correspondence had been issued the gov- ernment had recelved from Mr. Haggard a cable summary of what purports to be Venezuela's reply to the British ulti- matum. In this reply President Castro com- plains that no reparation was offered by Great Britain for the landing of marines or for the conduct of the British authori- ties of Trinidad, and closed by saying the Venezuelan treasury being exhausted, it was impossible for the government to meet its debts for the moment, but di- rectly peace was declared it would not be necessary to remind Venezuela of its ob- lgations. History of the Troub) A parllamentary paper, giving the cor- respondence relating to Venezuelan af | falrs, was issued this afternoon. Existing causes of complaint against Venezuela are noted, Including the selzure of British ships and protests against the Venezuelan consul at Trinidad for exacting | improper fees, for collecting customs for Venezuela in Trinidad, of which “no no- tice was taken by Venezuela." The correspondence, which is dated De- | cember 4, shows that as early July 28 Germany tentativelp mentioned the Vene- zuelan difficulties, and Lord Lansdowne re- plied that he would be quite ready to con- { ter, with the view of joint tion. | On August‘1l the British minister at | Caracas, Mr. Haggard, notified Lord Lans- downe that he had personally presented a formal protest against the “intolerabl conduct of the Venezuelan government,” stating that upless prompt compensation was paid to the injured persons it would be pecessary to take stepe to exact repa- ration Mr. Used to There Communications. Haggard concluded The minister accepted the note quletly. His final remark was that they were |
