Mr Potter Is nn ofllcer in the district
branch of tho United Mine Workers of
America,
Tho regular Heading company advance for
tho last half of September unit the first
half of October had previously been fixed at
6 per cent nbnvo the ?2.(i0 basis. Tho scale
for tho preceedlni; thirty days was at the
$2.G0 basis. Tho advance of 10 per cent
offered In tho posted notice by the Heading
company Is separate and distinct from tho
natural scnlo increase and hence tho total
Incrcnso to tho miners would bo 10 per
cent.

BCflANTON, Pa., SepY. 30. At overy
colliery In the nnthraclto region .a notice
will bo posted Tuesday morning announcing
ti 10 per cent Increaso in wages based on
tho present scale, effective October 1 and
that tho operators will nrbltrato nny griev
ances their employes may present. Thero
is no condition to bo attached as to tho
men returning to work befnro tho nrbltra
tlon ahull begin, eo it is to bo inferred that
tho men nro privileged to meet in conven
tion nnd adopt nny plan of action they may
deem advisable, beforo onterlng upon arbi
tration. It Is uuppnsed the miners will
como together as members of tho union, tlx
tho minimum of tho concessions they will
ho content with and then go forth as Indi
viduals to treat with their employers
through committees of omployes. Thu ar
bitrations being concluded satisfactorily
committees of employes will report back
to tho convention of United Mine workers
that they huvu come to a settlement nnd
tho strike will then bo declared off. This
would avoid tha recognition of tho union
by tho operators nnd nt tho samo time per
mit tho union to regulate tho terms of set
tlement. OotlooU Not nn I'"n voralile.
WIMCnSIlAItltK, Pa., Sept. 30. A promi
nent coal operator who Is In touch with tho
negotiations now going on looking to a
settlement of thu miners' strike, said to
night that on Saturday night it looked very
favorablo for a settlement, but it docs
not look so fiivornblo tonight. Tho nctlvlty
of tho United Mlno Workers In tho Schuyl
kill region has put a damper on tho nego
tiations. '
Somo of the operators hero learn that
nioro strenuous efforts woro put forth by
tho United Mlno Workers today to bring
men out In tho Schuylkill region than at
nny time since tho Hliiko began. Tho ope
rator quoted says this does not show a
good spirit on tho part of the men who
nro directing the strike. Tho report given
out that tho contemplated offer of the
company's call for n, D per cent reduction in
powder is erroneous. If any reduction Is
made It will bo uniform and it is thought
tho prleo will bo llxed nt $1.B0 a keg Instead
of J2.25 ns now puld In tjio I.ackawaumi
nnd Wyoming regions. Tho operators admit
that President Mitchell Is now acquainted
with some of tho plans tho companies havo
In view, but tho companies aro not deal

through Intermediaries.

WILKKSUAHHK. Pa., Sept. 30,-Tho mlno

Kay anything further tuday as to tho pro

quarters. Tho leaders remained at home.
Thosp who visited tho mooting placo said
tbey had heard nothing from tho national
oxecutivo olllco about tho holding of n
conferenro of tho miners In this city to
pass upon n new scale of wages which

President Mitchell did not know of the
action of the Heading company until In
formed by a reporter of the Associated
Press. Ho did not express tho lenst sur
prise. Ho refused to discuss the advance,
hut it Is understood that ho know tho 10
per cent Increaso will bo made and wns
anxious to see In what manner the Informa
tion would he conveyed to tho men. The
action of the Heading company In directly
notifying Its Ine., through posters Indi
cates that the operators will not recede
from their position of refusal to recog
nlzo tho union.
What President Mitchell's first movo will
bo In view of this phaso of tho situation
Is not known." Tho operators aro evidently
not taking me Into consideration," ho said,
"but they will wish they had."
Discussing tho question of a compromlso
tho president raid It would depend upon cir
cumstances whether n compromise would be
considered. When asked If tho amount of
tho Increaso would ho one of tho circum
stances he eald It would ho n considera
tion. Thcro Is considerable talk tonight
that tho posting of tho notices will cause
a break in tho strikers' ranks. Tho labor
loaders reiterated tonight that thcro would
be no break, und the strikers aro under
perfect control.
President Mitchell said he did not order
tho miners' notlco to bo placed nlong with
mat or tho Heading company, but he
inougut it was dono as n result of his
warning to tho strikers last week to the
effect that they should not go back to work
until ordored to do bo by the union offi
cials. Tho strikers, ho said, probably choso
tho poster scheme ns one of tho means of
keeping tho men in line.

big mass meeting was held at Freoland.
which was addressed by President Mitchell
and National Committeeman Dllcher. At

was fatally shot shortly after noon today
by Dr. W. V. Leo, a prominent physlJan
of this city, In a dispute over nn acvuunt
I.co claims that Hum owes him. Tho
nffnlr. as nearly us can bo learned from
the two principals and one eye-witness,
Alex Gross McKlatis, n deaf mute, wus ns
follows:
Dr. l.ee has his offices on tho second
floor of the Davis block, on Court street,
and Hum nnd his wlfo live In apartments
Just across tho hall. About noon Hum
was dressing with the Intention of going
to tho noon Ilurllngtou train nnd camo out
Into tho hall on his way to u rear room,
when ho met Dr. I.eo at the head of tho
stairs and spoke to him. Di. l,ec asked
Hum If he was busy and Hurn replied
that ho was. Loo said that ho had a bill
that he would like to hnvo Hurn look at.
Hurn wnlked on Into the back room and
got his suspenders nnd says that when ho
! rpt,lrC1' Ur- L'o was stepping out of his
oinco again nnd said to him: "Hurn, how
about that bill?"
Hurn replied: "I don't owo nny hill.
I don't deny n bill for services that do
any good, but a man In your business who
runs up a bill llko that nnd don't do nuy
good don't deserve money."
Tho bill In question was supposed to
bo for attendance on Hum's wife.
Altcrciitloii I'olliMK-tl It- MliiKithiK.
When Hurn finished speaking Leo asked
him: "Do you mean to Insult me?"
Hurn replied: "No, sir, I do not; but
this is no duy to scttlo hills."
Hurn claims that Leo then called him n
vllo iiamo and Hurn struck nt him.
Tho deaf muto who witnessed tho strug
gle says that when Hurn struck nt Leo
ho apparently tried to grasp Lee by tho
throat nnd Leo. reaching back to his hip
pocket, drew his revolver nnd fired twlco.
Tho llrst shot missed nnd Hum tried to
grub the gun, when Lee ilred again, tho
bullet entering Hum's left breast, left of
tho nipple, passing horizontally between
tho fifth nnd sixth ribs, tearing off tho
apex of the lung nnd striking tho spine,
then ranging down tho entire length of
tho left lung and lodging betweon tho
ninth nnd tenth ribs, next to tho splno,
splintering tho rib and spinal column.
Hurn staggered back and caught h'mselt
In tho doorway of his room, where bis
wlfo, who had been attracted by tho shots.
found him.
When passcrsby, attracted by the shoot
ing, rushed up tho stairs Leo was placing
his pistol in his pocket nnd as tho crowd
.wended the stairs called Mr ther-. tn

roudercd himself to Pollco Officer Spahn.

Leo was taken to the county Judge's
office and ns nt tho timo tho wound was
not considered serious, wns released on
$1,000 bond, Hon. O. A. Murphy giving his
security for his appearance Oct. her 13.
Later tho physicians announced tho wound
to bo fatal, saying that Hurn cctild not
survive, und County Attorney Hlnak,er vis
ited him to procuro a statement frcm

Leo gavo Himself up ho claimed that his
head hurt him ond asked tho officer If ho
blamed him for shooting. Ho was loath
to glvo up his revolver, fearing mob vio
lence, hut finally handed, It over.
Dr. Leo wns rearrested at 8 o'clock this
evening ond on failure to glvo an $S,000

TAHIS, Sept. 30. Tho stormy nnd some
times amusing proceedings of tho congress
of French socialists culminated at this
morning's session In uproar and genera
confusion. The congress first met two days
ago at tho conclusion of the International
Congress of Socialists, and the meeting had
bceu devoted to Interminable discussions on
tho subjects of tho constitution of tho con
gress, tho nucdlsts, Illanquists and com
munists, who woro lu nlllanco reproaching
tho Independents with having violated tho
constitution by wrongful votes. This
charge nerved as an excuso for introducing
all sorts of sldo questions, provocatlvo of
heated arguments, which Boon degenerated
Into threats nnd abuse.
This morning It was evident that tho
delegates had slept but llttlo over night.
They were nervous and aggressive and the
gathering soon became a pandemonium, in
tho courbo of which tho rival camps hurled
Insults ut each other. M. Ilngnal was ac
cused by M. Andricux of having sold him
self to tho other party. Ho daslicl through
tho ranks of his supporters and struck lib

had been scratched on tho hand, whereupon
tho tlucsdlsts shouted "Assassins!" bounded
to their feet nud left tho Sallo Wagrum in n

1.000 groups and syndicates, met this after
