(Special Correspondent of The Eve- ning World.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 (Copy- right 1919)—Settlement of the coal controversy depends as much upon whether the Government will permit the operators to increase the maxi- roum price of coal as it does on the willingness of the operators to ac- cept as fair the proposals of the De- partment of Labor for wege in- creases to the miners, Each side—miners and operators both—is asking in effect that they be protected, and the upshot of the whole thing probably will be the transference to the operators of a portion of the new expense and to the ultimate consumer of the re- mainder, Increases in wages to the miners is not in dispute any more, The miners, the operators and the De- District Attorney Lewis of Brook- lyn obtained evidence to lay before the Kings County Grand Jury, ask- | ing indictments under criminal | statutes of officials of the company ‘who have violated the Commission's order.

This was at the request of District Attorney Lewis of Brooklyn, who needed this proof to establish a case before the Grand Jury. “de Thousands of persons’ living in Flatbush walked, some of them hs far as two miles, to the Foster Avemue Station during the rush hours this morning rather than pay the second fare, Hundreds of passengers organ- ized against the extra fare and whole PROTEST. In the ‘ly rush hours, passen- gers paid the extra fare under pro- test, and for a time it appeared as if quiet would reign in the Foster Ave- nue district. Activities started at 7.55. Frederick C. Podeyen, of No, 3857 Avenue M, Flatbush, refused to pay another nickel at Foster Avenue, as did two companions. Two inspectors ejected the trio, Podeyen, who is mechanical enigneer emp!oved by the Edison company, then personally ar- rested the two inspectors and de- manded of Patrolman Edward Riegel- mann that he assist in taking them to the station house. He complied. The inspectors were held in the sta- tion house until the opening of the Flatbush court. They give their names a¢ J. 8. Graham and N, J. Buckley. Buckley entered a counter- charge of assault against Podeyen and he too was held for the court. SAYS STARTER STRUCK HIM IN FAGE, According to Frank R.

While there has been no indication of that Government's attitude, a refusal to re- lease the Consular agent would not come 45 a surprise. It is suggested Carranza's answer to Washington will be a recital of “tacts” as. seen by Mexican officials, coupled with the statement that Jen- kins will be tried in due time in the the United States Government. Also, it is understood the Administration is not disposed to engage in any pro- longed discussion of the affair, on which In its recent sharp note it de- manded an “immediate” reply.

It was said, however, that the United States will not permit itself to be placed in the position of having an accredited official. held in prison on unwarranted charges in a foreign country. On the border, and within easy reach of the Rio Grande, there are forces equipped to the minute and including all branches of the service, It was learned to-day that since Jenkins’s arrest, additional charges against the American official have been formulated, based upon alleged evidence that he actively assisted per- song in rebelling against the Carranza government, Payment of a large sum of money to the rebels, which was used by them to purchase munitions, and act- are sald to be specific “counts” in the new indictments. | his face, told how he had dreamed that a man came tn through the win- dow of his room, where he and his wife and their three children were sleeping, and that he had taken from ‘under his pillow a 32-calibre revolver which he had kept by him since re- “Dh, Jim!” He bent over her to find that she was dead.
