Commissioner Sturgis, angrily not going on the record, and you a ing to hear what I say.” Mr. Delaney continued to protest and jthe Commissioner evidently changed his mind, for he sajd nothing further.

When Chief Croker was put on trial he wag restored to duty. Later the order was rescinded, Chief Croker was in full uniform and Sturgis no- Pleaded “not guilty’ to every speciti- ation of the charges. Sturgis Challenged, Lawyer Delaney challenged Commis- slunei Sturgis's right to sit ax a judge, claiming that he was prejudiced and was instrumental in having the charges preferred. He was overruled and noted n exception. He then asked for the dismissal of the charges, stating that they were irregu- larly drawn and not in accordance with the city charter, was overruled. Lawyer Delaney declared the charges Were Irregular, in that they were drawn by William Leary, not a member of the uniformed force, but merely a civilian employee. , Commissioner him. Sturgis ruled against All Motions Denied, “If Leary can make these charges, t declared Delaney, “so can a scrubwoman make charges against any officer of the department.” After all his motions had been over- ruled, Mr, Delaney took each charge fication and moved for its dis- miasal.

Individual operators in the Schuylkiit coal region are reported to-day to be on the point of making concessions to the striking miners if the unton will permit the men in that section to return to work. * Tho operators are said to have been forced to back down by the Immense financial losses they have sustained. Union miners will be asked to go Into the mines to-day to get them ready for working. To-day Terrence Ginley, natlonal or- ganizer of tho United Mine-Workers. an- nounced that all married men will be removed from the anthracite region this week and the rellef lists cleared of 15,000 names. These men, it {s supposed, are going to the bituminous mines, which are being worked night and day to meet the demand for fuel Starvation Before Surrender. President Mitchell has Issued another address to the public. He reviews the entire situation, accuses the operators of untruphfuiness, and once more de- clares his willingness to submit the miners’ case to arbitration. He Insists that the strikers will starve rather than submit. President R, M. Olyphant, of the Dela- ware & Hudson road, after reading Mr. Mitchell's statement declares him a bad man and his statement of the miners’ case misleading and untruthful, The American Federation of Catholtc Socleties, embracing a membership of half a million, will petition President Roosevelt to use his best efforts to ter- minate the atrike. Bread Going Up, Too, Bakers are threatening to raise the price of bread. They are paying four times the usual price for their coal and say that unless more coal Is obtainable they will be unable to bake, and a bread famine will be added to the suffering already in sight from coid and the high price of provisions. c al, coke and wood are alike {nacces- to the poor, Haat side dealers were Melting coal to-day by the pall—the or- |dinary wooden water tmcket, which will hold at most twenty pounds of anthra- cite.

Advanced by the Con- solidated Exchange One-half Cent a Quart This Afternoon. IT WILL GO HIGHER STILL, At an adjourned meeting of the Con- solidated Milk Exchaneg held this after- noon {t was decided ‘to advance ‘the price of- milk one-half cent a vuart. This will be the third advance trom the summer prices, the first havin gbeen made oz Aug. 1, and the second on Sept, 1, They were each one-quarter of a cent. A further advance {s looked for. It is said that the reason for the high price of milk goes bac to the high price of beef Ixst Spring. At that time a great ma farmers soid fat cattle that otherwise ‘hey would have carried over the summer for milking this fall. It was assumed that the high price of cattle would not last, and other fresh cows could be bought ut avout this time for less than the price last spring. ‘This has not turned out to be Le case. Cows are nearly twice as Nigh at present as thoy were a year ngo, and it is sald that the present advance In the price of milk will result Immediately to a further ad- vance in the price of fresh cows. ‘The advance in the price of milk brings it up to $1.62 a can, with freight, selling charges, ete., still to pay. This means pout $1.90 a ‘can at wholesale, and will reault in a general advance of the retail price, It is thought. ‘The advance will no doudt be permanent, and a further advance 1s fairly certain to come next month, HE WANTS $20,000 FROM COLER TRUST Jones Says the Guardian Company Promised Him a Fine Job and He Failed to Get It.

SEARCH Craft Murder Suggests the Possible Fate of Persons Who Were Reported Missing. TO DIG EMPIRE CELLAR. Evidence of Other Crimes May Be Found in Tenderloin Resort—Police Guarding the Place. District-Attorney Jerome's staff does not belleve that Capt. James B. Cratt, of Glen Cove, L. I, is the only man who has been murdered recently by the gang that operated in the Empire res- taurant on Twenty-ninth street, and a thorough investigation was begun to- day by Assistant District-Attorney Garvan that may lead to sensatlonal de- velopments. ~ It Is known to all habitues of the Tenderloin that thugs infest that sec- tlon, who are ever ready for robbery through the medium of “knock-out drops,"" and a full inquiry is to be made concerning the disappearance of several persons, traces of whom have been entirely lost. Search for Others, When the headless body of Craft was found in the basement of the building occupied by the Empire, Roundsman Houck, who arrested Tobin, said to an Evening World reporter: “Thin ceilar looks as if a dozen other murdered men could be stowed away here and we would not know anything about tt" ‘That basement would be a ravelation to the Departments of Bulldings and Health. In it there ts the gruesome furnace into which Craft's head was thrown by Tobin, and from one end to the other the place is knee deep in sodden paper and filth of all kinds. The cellar foundation is of earth and excavations are to be made during the coming week which will prove whether cr not victims have been buried There. Attacked a Woman. The fact has just developed that To- bin on last Friday night all but mur- dered a woman named Gladys Ramsey, who had made herself obnoxious in the Empire. Tobin held some grudge against her and in his capacity as bouncer selzed the woman by the throat and held on until she grew black in the face. At the same time he was kicking her about the knees. The victim was quite senseless when Several young men entered and woman and thrashed Tobin.
