Cul- | ver of New York, controller of the Dela- company, who on eross- examination said the company was selling to mjddlemen at tidewater at $ a ton for propared sizes. He did not know what prices the middlemen were recelving from the public beyond what he read in the daily papers. Strikers Dictate to Barons. C. 0. Rose of Scranton, superintendent of the coal department, was recalled. He sald several of the company's collieries were flooded as the result of the strike, but admitted he would rather let the mines fill with water than submit to unreasonable demands made by a union. He considered that the strikers were dictating to the | company and rather than surrender a prin- ciple he would let the property deterlorate. George Anderson of Scranton, a clerk in the coal department of the company, pro- duced a statement showing that 2,388 of the company’s employes had been working in or about the mines for from ten to sixty years, and another showing that the twenty- elght collieries of the company lost 363 ten-hour days in 1901, for which the em- ployes were responsible. Of these 115 were lost on account of picnics and other holl- days, fifty-nine on account of ‘‘Mitchell day” and 194 on accaunt of strikes and suspension; Another statement offered by the witness showed that since the strike ended the twenty-elght collieries lost 110 days, re- ducing the coal production of the company 92,151 tons. The men had been requested to work on Thanksgiving day and New Year's day, but they ignored the request. None of the miners worked on “Mitchell day,” and twelve collleries were fidle the day after Christmas. Mr. Darrow, on cross-examination, dis- puted the conclusions contained In the statement. Witness sald he procured most of his information from the foreman and admitted that he never knew a foreman to turn in a report showing that he was responsible for a colliery being idle, Union Restricts Output. Thomas R. Thomas, outside foreman at the Jermyn colllery, told of the difficulty he had in inducing men to mine more coal. He produced a paper, ulleged to have been drawn up by Union No. 121, which stated that any man loading more coal on the cars in the headings than was loaded In the chambers would be expelled from the unfon. Two men, he sald, violated this alleged rule of the union and thelr tools were destroyed and one of their houses was dynamited as a result of not restricting their daily output.

A party of humters composed of Douglas Allen, Forace Allen and John Scarberry, | all white men, were camping in the woods trapping game. A band of fullblood Indians | came to the camp and demanded the guns and game in exchange for hogs which they accused the hunters of having stolen from them. An altercation arose and Ellis | Carnes, a college bred Indian, dealt Doug- 1as Allen a blow on the head with his Win- chester and shot Horace Allen in the hand. The latter, with Scarberry, fled amid a | rain of bullets from the Indians. They went to Atoka and informed the officers. | When they returned to the camp they found the body of their companion riddled with bullets his skull fractured and his eyes torn from the sockets. Carnes, who is far above the average full- blood In intelligence, was captured and confessed to the killing of Allen, and his confesslon led to the capture of the other Indians. Carnes justifies the attack upon the white men by the charge that they had been slaughtering hogs which belonged to | the Indians and added that he knocked | Douglas Allen down in self-defense after | the latter had tried to shoot him. |SAY STRATTON SALTED MINE New Company Brings Action Against Dead Milllg Secretacy of Navy| Slightly B While on \tc to Na ously but not dangerqusly injured at the | Naval academy grounds today in & run- away here as the guests of Superintendent Brown- MOODY IS IN A RUNAWAY ned Académy.

A battalion of cadets was drawn up In line of salute just inside the academy grounds, and as the carriage bearing the secretary, Senator Halé and their escort, Lieutenant Power, passed In review, a salute of seventeen guns belched forth from the guns on the Santee wharf. The restive horses attached to the car- riage swerved sudGenly and got beyond the control of the driver. They dashed down Upshur row, past the line of cadets. The pole of the carriage broke and the horses grew more excited. The driver, secking th stop them, sud- denly turned their heads into a vacant lot between two houses. Searetary Moody, who had opened the door of the carriage as the | horses dashed over the frozen ground, suddenly leaped to the pavement as the car- rlage made the turn. He landed on his face and was rendered unconscious by the shock. The battalion of midshipmen had broken ranks without orders and soon lifted him and carried Bim to the nearby residence of Superintendent Brownson, where he shortly recovered consclousness. Slight cuts and bruises on his forehead, face and nose are thought to be the extent of the Injuries. Neither Senator Hale nor Lieutenant Power was injured, as the horses were brought up against a wall soon after making the turn into the lot. Senator Hale and Secretary Moody will spend the night son.

HAS ALL QUALIFICATIONS FOR PLACE House Bill Giv'ng Secretary Power to Stop Spread of Infectior Dise Favorably Reported in Senate, (From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The death of Representative Tongue leaves a vacancy at the head of the committee on irrigation of arid lands and it is believed that Speaker Henderson will assign Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming to the chairmanship of this important com- mittee. Congressman W. A. Reeder of Kansas is the ranking member of the com- mittee on irrigation, but as he now has a chairmanship, being chairman of the com- mittee on mileage, it is belleved General Henderson will jump him and assign Mon- dell, who stands next on the committee list.

New Measure on Use of Timber. Representative Mondell today introduced a bill amending the existing law relative to the use of timber from public lands by settlers. Mr. Mondell, in explaining his hill today, said: “The bill is intended to take the place of a mass of legislation some- what conflicting and largely obsolete in re- lation to the free use of timber taken from public lands by settiers, miners and pros- pectors and the sale of timber from public lands for purposes of development, and to enact in lieu of such legislation a simple and concise measure which clearly defines the rights of settlers and prospectors in the free use of timber on the public domain and makes liberal provision for such use. “My bill also yrovides for the sale of timber from public lands In cases where the secretary of the interior decides that such sale is recessary for the development of the region and not detrimentul to the forests The necessity of a provision of this kind has been made very apparent by a decision rendered by the secretary of the Interior to the effect that the iaw under which the department bhas been making sales from public lands did not authorize such sales. My bill does rot in any way interfere with or modify the provisions of | the law providing for the sale of public timber lards under the law known as the { timber and stone act. Yankton indians at Capital. A delegation of Indlans from the Yankton (S. D.) agency is in Washington and today called upon Commissicner Jones to pay thelr respects.
