His particular objection, however, was to the insistence of the mine owners that they should be permit- the arbitrators should be drawn by the It is understood that he took a firm stand against this proposition, saying he was satisfled the miners would any arbitration - which wculd not be arbitration in fact as well as m name. He urged that this would not be the case if one side to the contro- versy were afforded the advantage of naming the classes from which the arbi- trators were to be appointed. He ex- pressed himself as being as anxious as ever for arbitration, but planted himself squarely on the proposition that the Pres- ident should be allowed to name the ar- bitrators without any restrictions or lim- itations made either by the miners or by the mine owners, % Mitchell, in his counter proposition, in- sisted that President Roosevelt be.given a free hand in the selection of the board of arbitration, and that the terms under which the President is to create that board be remodeled, at least to some ex- tent. It was understood that the wording of the mine operators’ proposition, omit- ting any reference to the Miners’ Union, <did not meet Mitchell's approval. He de- sired, if possible, to obtain some formal recognition of the union, although thal was a technicality which he might waive subsequently, as by any agreement to ar- bitrate the controversy the miners will get a general recognition of their organ- ization. Mitchell also expressly opposed the restriction made in the operators’ proposition limiting the selection of a Federal Judge as one of the arbitrators to a particular jurisdiction, ANXIOUS TO END STRIKE. It was stated on excellent authority, although not by the President or Mitch- €ll, that President Roosevelt agreed to ators. It was believed that this would be thc next step taken. Mitchell assured the President of his anxiety to end the strike, but said that the miners were firm in their position and that he could not afford to sanction any proposition that would sacrifice their interesis at this time. He was willing, however, to dis- pense with minor details, and indicated his intention to demand only an arbitra- tion board which should be seletted fair- ly with respect equally to the interests of both parties to the controversy. The events of the day leading up to the present situation were entirely de- vold of sensational or dramatic inci- dents. Comparatively few people knew of the coming of Mitchell, and as he is not known generally in Washington his He came by invitation of the President, telegraphed to him last night. He ar-| their visit being in accordance with an many friends. The bride is a handsome brunette and is highly accomplished, be- ing the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Grinsell, pioneers. of Humboldt - County. The groom is a well-known business man of this city. After a honeymoon trip in Southern California the couple will make this city their home. s eils The Pacific Coast Women’s Press Asso- clation gathered at Golden Gate Hall yes- terday morning for the second session of its annual convention.

A cottage on Sunny avenue near Blank- en's Six-Mile House, on the San Bruno road, owned by Ceorge Burnett, was de- stroyed by fire early yesterday morning. | the cottage was occupied by Emile Tran- chette. The cause of the fire is not known. Tranchette states that when he left his home yesterday morning there was a hot fire in the stove and he left the windows open. The draft may have sent some of the sparks to the roof caus- ing the fire. Tranchette could not be found at the time of the fire, and owing to the fact'that charred bones were found in the debris it was rumored that Tran- chette, who had threatened to commit suicide, had taken his own life by set- ting fire to the house. Later in the day Tranchette put in an appearance. —_——————— EBuckingham palace occuples the site of the mulberry garden-laid out by James VI in his unsuccessful _attempt to start a silk industry in London, Anthracite Fields, Is Urging Miners to nived at 11:40 o'clock. He was' not ac- companied by the district presidents, as lhe was on the trip of October 3, his only traveling companion being a ne paper correspondent, who accompanied him from Wilksbarre. Mitchell's second conference with Roose- velt lasted just thirty-five minutes. He was ushered into the President’s office at 3:10, and left the White House at 3:45. He went directly to the office of Presi- dent Gompers of the Federation of La- bor. There he met Gompers, James Dun- can, vice president of the Federation of Labor, and several other labor leaders. Their consuitation necessarily was brief, as Mitchell desired to leave on the first irain for Wilkesbarre. Gompers and Duncan accompanied him to, his train, the three walking close together and chatting earnestly. Mitchell left the city at 4:50 for Wilkes- barre. Just before his departure he de- clined absolutely to make any statement whatever of the result of the conference with the President. He also declined to say whether he would make any state- ment after his arrival at Wilkesbarre. Shortly after Mitchell left the White House Secretary Root arrived, and soon after the President and Secretary Root left on an extended drive.

WASHINGTOY Oct. 15.—President Roosevelt to-night resumed consideration of the strike situation. On returning from his drive, the President consulted with Carroll D. Wright, Commissioner of La- bor, and Frank P. Sargent, Commissioner of Immigration. Lager two strangers to those about the | temporary White House called and were @hown upstairs at once. These gentle- men were Robert Bacon and George W. Perkins, members of the banking firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. The conferences with the four gentlemen named lasted from 7| to 8 o’clock, and then the President walk- | ed to Secretary Hay's to dinner, while his two visitors went to ‘the Arlington Hotel. At 10 o'clock President Roosevelt re- entered the White House, accompanied by Secretary Root and then immediately re- embarked on consideration of the settle- ment of the coal strike, Later a stranger called, answering to the description of one of Morgan's partners, and was shown at once into the room where the President was, by Secretary Cortelyou. At 11:55 o’clock Sargent and Wright re- turned to the White House and were shown into Secretary Cortelyou’s office, JAMES H. STOCKWELL DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS Well Known Business Man Succumbs to an Operation for Appen- dicitis. James H. Stockwell, an .old . and re- spected citizen of San Francisco, received the final summons yesterday afternoon. The end was a rathep sudden one and his numerous friends will be shocked to hear of the sad news. Mr. Stockwell had been ailing slightly of late, but nothing serious was thought of his illness. He became a trifle weak a few days ago and was removed to the ‘Waldeck Sanatorium. He was operated on for appendicitis yesterday afternoon and the shock of the operation was so severe that he survived it but a few hours. Mr. Stockwell was widely known in this city, where he had lived for many vears. He was born in Rochester, N. Y., fifty- eight years ago and when still little more than a boy came to seek his fortune in the West. He was connected with several business enterprises, but of late years had been living a quiet life. Mr. Stockwell was best known as one of the publishers cf the Law Journal, In this ventire he was associatéd with W. T. Baggett. Since retiring from this ven- B = -, Return to Work understanding when they left about 8 that they should return later in the evening. At the White House they remained in Cortelyou’s room only a moment, going thence to the quarters where President Roosevelt and Secretary Root were in conference. The first sign of a break up of the conference was at 12:55, when Sec- retary Cortelyou came from the confer- ence room mnd announced to the walting newspapermen that an official statement of the strike situation would be made public in about half an hour. Shortly after 1 o'clock Secretary Root came out, ! laughing and happy, and spread the glad tidings that a common ground of agree- | ment between the operators and miners | had »=en reached and that%he strike was practically ended. When the gathering broke up all present were in high good spirits and there was a general exchange of congratulations. i CALLING OFF OF THE STRIKE. Delegate Convention Must First Pass on Question. WILKESBARRE, Oct. 16. — President Mitchell arrived here from Washington at 1:35 this morning. He was met at the station by National Secretary Wilson. The Associated Press bulletins of the outcome of the Washington conference, stating that the strike was settled, were read to him while he was surrounded by a small army of newspaper men. He was imme- Tequest for a statement he said: diately congratulated, and in reply to a “Your congratulations should be with- held until we see who the six representa- tives on the commission are. I understood before 1 left Washington that there would be a sixth man and that he would represent labor. The whole matter will be placed before the joint meeting of the ‘three executive boards of the anthracite region at their meeting at 10 o'clock this morning. I will wait up to see the full statement {ssued by Mr. Cortelyou.” | In reply to the question whether he would comply with the President’s re- quest that coal mining be resumed im- mediately he said he would make a more definite answer when he knew mors about the matter. Only the newspaper correspohdents were at the headquarters when the news was first received, about twenty-five minutes before Mitchell ar- rived. The news that a common ground agreement had been reached is sure to be received with great rejoicing throughout the entire réegion. e After his interview with the reporters in the hotel lobby, Mitchell went to his office on the second floor, where he was closeted with Secretary Wilson. While there the correspondent of the Associated Press again went to him for further en- lightenment on the situation regarding immediate resumption, and he made the positive statement that a delegate con- Vention first must pass upon the question of calling off the strike. From the call- ing of the convention to its adjournment is only a matter of three or four days. There is hardly any doubt that a conven- tion will stand by any agreement he has made with President Roosevelt. 22030 0 0 e o ture Mr. Stockwell had not been actively engaged In business affairs.

I WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—The first an- nual report of Surgeon General Rixey shows that the health of the Navy and Marine Corps was good throughout the past fiscal year, the percentage of sick and the death rate being lower than for several years. The most important recommendation of the report, perhaps, is that Congress pro- vide for the establishment of a women's nurse corps for the navy, to comsist of one superintendent nurse, eight head nurses, sixteen first-class and twenty- four second-class nurses, these numbers to be increased at the discretion of the Secretary. The Surgeon General says: “That women are superior to men for the work of nursing therc can be no ques- tion, and the objectfon that they ar not compatible with the military condi- tions can scarcely apply to Institutions of the character of our large navy hos- pitals.” The Surgeon General also makes a strong plea for the appointment of den- tists for the navy, pointing out that many otherwise good recruits for the service are lost for lack of dental care. An earn- est statement is made by Admiral Rixey of the present entirely inadequate medi- cal force under his command. He shows that whereas since the Spanish war the medical corps has increased only 15 per cent in numbers, the naval strenzth has increaged 70 per cent and the examina- | tions for re-enlistment 102 per cent. He: submits a recommendation for the ap-| pointment of 150 more medical officers | and refers to a number of resignations' during the past year owing to dissatis-| faction with the outlook for promotiog | and the fact that the corps was under-| manned. . 3 A post-graduate course for the novi- tiate in the medical corps is said to be a necessity and the first step already has been taken in the transfer of the medical school from New York to Washington. Carrying out his idea of the education of medical officers Admiral Rixey further recommends that after each cruise sur- geons should be given a period of duty | either at home or abroad in some of the great medical centers, where they would | have opportunities to get in step with the march of professional progress. | Based on the experience of the Spanish war Is the recommendation that at least two permanent hospital ships, one for the Atlantic and one for the Pacific, should be constructed. These should have the right to fly the Geneva flag. Other recommendations look to the cre- ation of a sanitarium for the navy for the treatment of tuberculosis, like that | established by the army at Fort Bayard, | N. M., for the improvement of the corps | in the naval boards which design the ships, in order that sanitary conditions may be improved. | PLANS ARE SUGGESTED } TO PROTECT YOSEMITE Acting Superintendent Advises the | Interior Department to Make ! Stringent Rules. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.—The adoption of radical precautionary measures for protection from forest fires is advocated | in the annual report of the acting super- intendent of the Yosemite National Park, which has been received at the Interior Department. The report recommends that for this purpose stricter regulations be issued by the department regarding campers visit- ing the park, and that fallen and de- cayed trees and ping needles and other inflammable matter in the forests be burned annually and systematically. It is also urged that stringent measures be adopted to prevent the constant trespass- ing of sheepherders with their destruc- tive bands of sheep on the reservation, s no adequate punishment is now pro- vided for such acts. It is proposed to ask Congress to make trespassing in the park a misdemeanor, punishable by fine | or imprisonment. Other recommenda- | tions in the report are for the enactment of a law extinguishing the titles to land within the park limits, to aid in keeping stock off the grazing laitds and to pro- tect the fish in the lakes and in the streams, and the Government ownership of all roads built to accommodate the general public visiting the park. | No Time to Lose You cannot afford to disregard the warnings of a weak and diseased heart and put off tak- ing the prescription of the world’s greatest authority on heart and nervous disorders—— s Heart Cure.
