Secretary Root’s Visit to This City Said to Have Been Secret Mission to Obtain Views: of Eminent Persons. WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.—The coal strike and attending situation re- sulting from it was the subject of a conference held at the temporary White House to-day, in which the President, Attorney-General Knox, Secretary Moody, Postmaster-General Payne and Goy. Crane, of Massachusetts, partic- ipated. Every one connected with the conference was very reticent, but it is learned that the President is much concerned over the situation—the near approach of winter and the great scarcity of fuel. Just what action can be taken is not known. « \The fact that a move has been made in the Massachusetts courts to -\ have receivers appointed for the coal companies was discussed, but the legal ylew was that this action was entirely inadequate and would not be likely to relieve the situation. The impression prevails that one reason for the hurried visit of Secre- tary Root to New York was for the purpose of discussing the situation with the leading business men of that city, with a view to bringing the strike to ! . an end. The conference lasted less than an hour. The coal situation was futher disenssed, but the participants refused to make any statement when they came from the President's room, “Has any line of action been taken that the Administration confidently expects will settle the strike?” Postmaster-General, Payne was asked. “T cannot. * that quetion,” he said. ‘Is ft not true?” “To say so now would be premature,” he replied, as he entered his car- tage 5 ‘The conferrees met again about 2 o'clock, and now are in session in the President's room. Dr. Lung called shortly after the second conference be- gan, but did not sce the President. The principal subject under consideration at both conferences was the » power of the President to interfere in any way with the coal strike, and the result of the conference thus far is that, no matter how much interested the Administration may be in ending the strike, it does not seem to have any power to act in th» premises, in the Constitution for Federal interference, as there had been no inter- ference with the mails or deputy marshals or other Federal authorities. The only way, it was pointed out, ky which there could be Federal inter- ference would be at the request of Gov. Stone, of Pennsylvania, and it was stated that he is not likely to ask for Federal troops, because he has not yet called out the entire militia force of his State. The matter of Federal interference by the appointment of receivers for the coal companies also was discussed, but the President was informed that there was nothing in the Constitution or any law to warrant such action.

Boyce caused the craft to mount, des. cond and turn at will. The new gaso- lene motor engine worked to perfec- tion and spun the big propeller blades fant enough to give the ship a speed of about six or elght miles an hour. It was expected that the flight would be made over Coney Island, and there was a big and enthusiastic crowd there waiting for the ascension. Although the course was lald to the northward those at Coney Island were’able to see the ship's evolutions perfectly. Boyce did not attempt to take the, ship seaward. The ascension had been put .off for several days, waiting for favorable weather conditions. They were satisfactory to-day, but Boyce did not wish to attempt. too much Without having first thoroughly tested the ma- chine. GRAVESEND RACE TRACK, Sept. %.-The blue pencil played havoc with the card at Gravesend this afternoon. Out of nine scheduled to go to the post jin the first race five were withdrawn. In the Bayshore the presence of the Musketeer, with only 110 pounds to carry, scared out more than half the entries. In other races the blue pencil was worked so that the flelds were small in nearly every event. This curtailed speculation to a considerable degree. @ The track still had a heavy streak in along the rail, but the great part of it |Was fairly dry and in good condition. | The only stake was the.

There is every likelihood that Devery’e legal advisers c not to make a speech in the cenvention, but the applause that when he entered doubtless served to impress him with the belief would have the crowd with him, however useless any demonstr might make should be. aS: Before the roll of delegates was called Chairman Stanchfield plainly that no contesting delegate would be recognized on the fi that all contests would be referred to the proper committee for inv and report.
