IT appeal to your patriotisin, to the spirit that sinks personal considera- tions and makes individual sacrifices for the general good." ESIDENT IN INVALID’S CBAIR, At 11.10 o'clock, ten minutes after the hour fixed for the conference, every person who had been invited to participate, with the exception of| anxiously waiting some information regarding what may be done. President Olyphant, of the Delaware and Hudson, who sent as his personal representative David Wilcox, Vice-President and general counsel of the| Sidewalks. road, and President Cassatt, o the Pennsylvania rond, was present in the second story front room of the temporary executive mansion where the President since his return from Indianapolis has transacted such necessary ic business as could not be postponed, ‘Ihe President during the conference was seated in a large invalid chair his left leg extended at full length, resting upon a cushion, The President greeted most cordially each of his guests as they ap- peared, and when all were assembled, he stated to them in a brief prelim: inary way his object in calling them together. The President, fully realizing the importance of the communication that he was to make, had prepared a carefully worded paper setting forth etail his position on the pending controversy. PRESIDENT BAER ARRIVES. Just after 11 o'clock President George F. Baer, of the Reading; E. b. Thomas, of the Erie, and W. H. Truesdale, of the Lackawanna, drove up In They went to a room on the first floor separate from that occu- pied by the labor leaders. They were soon followed by President BE. B. President A. J. Cassatt, of the Pennsylvania, who had been invited, did He sent a telegram to President Roosevelt explaining his in- come. ity to be present. SECRETARY ROOT IS HOPEFUL, At 12.80 o'clock Secretary Root terminated nearly an hour's private ‘The Secretary was in an optimistic mood |i He said he could not communicate any- er than what had been given to thé press, but he did not hest- tate to express hix individual opinion to the effect that the prospects were bright for some satisfactory outcome to the nogotlations instituted to-day. He thought that the strong point of the situation was that for the first time the conflicting elements had been brought face to face—"in the bull ring,” as he expressed it—and they were now in a position where it was incumbent upon them to do something. In other words, the ice had been broken as between the two parties, and he was hopeful that when they came together again the way would be paved for some sort of a compromise. RESUMPTION OF THE CONFERENCE. Bi gre Only three of the operators were present when the conference was re- ‘s nanauers. sumed at 3 o’clock—Presidents Baer and Fowler and Mr. Markle. sinews San | Mitehel!, of the Mine Workers’ Union, and his entire delegation came to- “ gether, and were with the resident about ten "= arrived, Fowler, of the Ontario minutes before the operators The representatives of the strikers looked careworn, as though fully realizing the great responsibility resting upon them. ‘The failure of President Olyphant to appear and his sending only a representative ts generally regarded as a bit of discourtesy to the President. Mr. Olyphant was one of the first of the operators vo declare that no matter what »ppeal was made to him by the President he would decline to grant any concession, Twenty minutes after the conference began Presidents Truesdale and Thomas and Mr, Wileox came in. President Maer and the other operators were evidently fearful some injury might happen to them, as they were accompanted everywhere by hodyguard. “Nerhe men acting as the bodyguard explained to the policemen on duty at the White House that they were the personal attendants of the operators. ‘An immense crowd has surrounded the White House since early to-day, MANHATTAN CLUB INVITES COLER.

BROOKLYN MAY FACE GAS FAMINE. Only Five Weeks Supply of Coal on Hand and Company Is Importing Fuel to Keep Works Going. Brooklyn is threatened with a gas famine as a result of the scarcity of coal. The Union Gas Company of that borough has only five weeks’ supply of coal on hand, and unless fuel is obtained in that time the works may have to shut down in part at least. President James Jourdan, when seen by anbvening World reporter, said: “We have but five weeks’ supply of coal on hand, although the company now has agents in all parts of the world en- deavoring to buy up what anthracite an be obtained at any figure. ‘The last order of coal delivered at our plant cost ux $15 a ton and we now have some on the way from England and British Columbia, which will cost usin the neighborhood of $22." Persous who applied to-day at the yarlous branch offices of the company for gas stoves for cooking purposes were informed that the supply of stoves had boen exhausted, and the plight of the concern, due to lack of coal, became known. Converning the eas stoves, President Jourdan sald: “The shortage of gas stoves is due to the large Increase in the number of families who are making arrangements to do thelr cooking with gas instead of coal this winter, Our supply of stoves Is completely exhausted, but within a few days a new lot will arrive from the factory.” Depot Toppled Over by Wreck.

Brennan, the twen / ty-two-year-old President of the Brook- lyn Bond and Mortgage Company, ie trying to find $20,000 bond which will release him from the Raymond Street Jail, District-Attorney Clarke 1s search- ing the Register's office in Brooklyn expecting to find instances where Brea- nan has come into possession of large , sums of money by borrowing it on other people's property. He 1s held on the charge of the Tong Island Title Guarantee Company that tt loaned him $5,000 of I. C. Morton's money on a mortgage given on a house * at No. 9 Lafayette avenue, Brennan not having the right to give the mort- gage. A charge of forgery is also in- volved, The bond was mado excessive because the District-Attorney said he expected to find other and similar in- stances in which Brennan has figured. The career of Brennan has been me- teoric. Two years ago he was the $7-a- week clerk in a real estate office. Even - then he was ia trouble. Deteotive Kelly 1 arrested him on a charge of stealing @ bicycle from George Smith, of No. 993 Fuiton street, but as the wheel was re- covered the charge was not pressed. Kelly saw Brennan again a few days ago, but under vastly different circum- stances. He waa driving a high step- per, with a negro footman, and he was covered with diamond Jewelry tacked on to a very flashy eult. The detective investigated and found that Brennan was President of a bond company with an advertised capital of $100,000, and besides having offices in the Real Estate Exchange Bullding in Brooklyn he also had extensive branch offices in the Phenix Insurance Build- ing, No, 68 William street, where he kept a number of pretty typewriters busy sending out circular letters. While this investigation was going on the complaint was made against him, According to the charge Brennan went to the Long Island Title Guarantee Com, pany and asked to borrow $5,000 on the Lafayette avenue property for BE. J. Stanton, the owner. That was in April. In searching the title the company found that there was already a mortgage on it for $5,500 and so told Brennan. Brennan assured them the mortgag paid and promised to file Sostinfaction writ with the ter. This he did, It purported to be a release of the mort: wage, given by Daniel Was attached what seemed to be thi seal and signature of Otto Peterson, a NGjpol this eniistaction of the peng filed’ the ‘Title Company orenten Brennan's request and loaned the $5,000, SRCaNE cat Seton ‘he fepeseataa ce be Stanton, the owner,” Stanten signed the mortgage deed and they were given avgnesk for $5,000. . ecently proceedings were begun cl Morton fo foreclose the mortgage be held on the property, and then the sec- ‘ond mortgage by Brennan was, discov- ered and his arrest followed. He was found in hie offices in New York. OLD HALL OF RECORDS.
