Oakaloosa waa the only other city consid
ered la thia connection. The proposal for

Pythlana at Colfax submitted to the grand
odge a proposal that they would donate

committee consisting of Carl Kuehnle ot
Dentson, E. W. Weeks of Outhrte Center,
D. W. Telford of Mason City, I. L. Stewart
of Hampton and F. M. Molsberry of Colum
bus Junction. The committee today re
ported that the altea offered were good and
the project feasible, but there was aome
doubt as to the legal phases of the question
The committee waa Instructed to make fur
ther investigation and to report to the
grand chancellor at least sixty daya before
the next grand lodge meeting. The report
of the committee on financial correspond
ence la favor of abolishing the endowment
rank In Iowa was adopted. The grievance
committee reported that there were no
grievances this year. The new grand offi
cers were Installed and the grand lodge
adjourned thia evening.

no attempt to deny the shooting, tut an
effort waa made to ahow that it waa the
result of a quarrel and waa to aome extent
Justified. He was found guilty of assault
with Intent to commit manslaughter, thus
Justifying the defense.
Al McKlnney, colored, Is on trial for
shooting Rev. J. Lomack, the colored
preacher. McKlnney and Lomack both
wanted to marry the same widow and the
former lay In wait for the latter as he was
escorting the woman home late at night

Hanter Appeal Case Ararned.
The Matt Hunter case from Ringgold
county waa argued before the supreme
court of Iowa tbla morning and attracted
more attention among lawyers and othera
than any case that has been presented by
oral argument for some time. The appeal
for a reversal and new trial waa made by
United States Attorney Miles. Hunter shot
and killed Homer Holland la Mount Ayr
eleven months ago. A gambling quarrel
led up to the fracas. Miles contended
with force that it waa a case of self-de
fense and that Hunter had been attacked
by Holland, the latter rushing udou ths
defendsnt and making a move to draw a re
volver at the same time and It waa then that
Hunter fired the fatal shot. He contended
also that the Instructions were erroneous
in that tbey presumed the guilt of the
defendant and failed to indicate the proper
rule of aelf-defense. It wss also contended
that ths sentence was unusually aevere.
Hunter was convicted of murder in the
second degree and waa given a life sen
tence. Hs had failed to And another ln-
stance la the history of the atate whea
tne extreme pena'ty had been given for
second degree. Attorney General Miller ar
gued for the prosecution and contended
tne verdict and the sentence were Just and
wsra borne out by the record.

SENATORS SEEK END
(Continued from First Para.)
he saw President Mitchell Wednesday
night and that he was disposed to act with
a spirit of fairness.
The conference ended at 4:30, when the
coal road presidents referred all Inquiries
to the senators and Governor Odell.
"I have nothing to say there Ia nothing
to be said," waa Governor Odell'a answer
to a question.
Senator Quay likewise bad nothing to aay.
Senator Piatt was the last to leave hla
office. "I don't think I can say anything,"
he said. "I am too tired. There will be
further meetings tomorrow. That Is all I
can say now."
Operators atlAT-Kepked.
From what may be described aa an inside
and authoritative source, It may be an
nounced that the conference at the office of
Senator Piatt was abeolutely without re
suit, the operators refusing to consider the
political aspect of the situation and main
talnlng the position that the question waa
one between employer and employe as to
the management of the properties con
cerned. According to the authority above Indi
cated, Senator Quay and Governor Odell
expressed the opinion that had the atrlko
continued for another fortnight or longer
the effect would be to so impress the public
mind with the one subject of the shortage
ot fuel that political duties would be neg
lected and the voters remain away from
the polls on election day, with the natural
result that the majority party In Pennsyl
vania and New York would be the greater
sufferer. Senator Penrose expressed his
concurrence In the representations of the
othera, and Senator Piatt and Mr. Lauter
bach spoke In a similar strain. These lat
ter advised something In the nature of an
armistice, under an Implied promise to the
miners that their union would be recognized
by the operators., .
On their part' the operators declared that
the question at Issue waa entirely apart
from party politics, and they refused to be
Influenced by rffiubllcans aa to the effect
the strike migifhbave upon the fortunes of
one party or t i "other.-.
One of the trf'tical confereea next aug
gested that tMrolong the struggle with
the miners' union would be open the way
for the advocates of antl -corporation legis
latlon at Harrlsburg and Albany to move
for the Introducing of messures calculated
to Impair the value of railroad and coal
properties, and that It waa even possible In
the stress of public opinion laws might be
enacted that would Impair for yeara the
value ot the properties the operators rep
resented. It was aald by one apectator that
a bill of this antagonistic character had
already been framed and was ready for sub
mission to the Pennsylvania legislature.
The possibility of harrasslng litigation
both In Pennsylvania and New York waa
also dwelt upon and the fear expressed
that In aome inetances the atate of publlo
mind might influence the determination of
such suits.
These representations failed to move ths
operators, who, according to the gentle
men already quoted, declared that party
politics ahould not be Injected Into the
situation. The operators further expressed
their confidence in the Integrity of the
courts and aald they had no fear ot the suc
cess of any attack that might be made
through the state legislatures upon the
property Interests concerned.
This brought the conference to a close
and the gentlemen separated. Shortly
afterwards General Thomas of the Erie had
a long talk with J. Pierpont Morgan, the
nature of the pqnversation not being dis
closed by either of the gentlemen. It la
asserted on what appears to be good au
thority that Mr. Morgan waa la communica
tion during the day with aome 'of the
politicians who conferred with the oper
ators, but that ha declined to be placed la
the attitude ot a party to the controversy.
Has Mitchell Bcea Been.
Although President Mitchell apparently
had no part la the conference hla actlona
were anxiously awaited. Early In the day
he was Joined at the Ashland house by for
mer State Senator Mosea W. Salomon ot
Chicago. The Chlcagoan has so fsr re
tused to disclose his mission, saying hs
wss merely a messenger. During the
morning Mr. Mitchell had a. long confer
ence with his three district presidents
Afterward President Nichols had thia to
ay:
"Unless the demands of the strikers are
granted In full I don't aee bow President
Mitchell can settle the strike without call
ing a convention. It only a part of the de
mands are granted that would render It
necessary to call a convention, and that
would take two weeka at the least."
Late In the afternoon President Mitchell
and the district pretldents had another
conference at the Ashland house. Mr,
Nichols said his associates had not consid
ered any formal or informal proposition
from the operators. He said the atrlke
might be settled by Monday, but Intimated
that It was Improbable.
Disease Aaother atrlke.
General B. F. Tracey, Albert B. Board
uaa and President Conn of the Tennessee
Coal and Iron company had a conference
with President Mitchell early In tbs sven
lag. General Tracey, after the eonference.
ssld ths anthracite strike was not talked
about, but the atrlke of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company waa the
subject under consideration aud that Mr
Mitchell had listened to a atatemcnt of the
facts In ths case.
. Mayor Low today received the following
telegram from Mayor Maybury of Detroit:
"Strike practically settled. Can you eon
flrm or correct any misapprehension which

Mayor Low replied: "I have no Informs

Fall Time ts Promised.
Very Rev. P. C. Nagle, rector of St. Nich
olas Catholic church ot this city, which has
one of the largest rongregatlona In north
eastern Pennsylvania among the mine work- 1
era, wrote a letter to President Baer of the :
Reading company a few daya ago appealing
to him to do aometblng for bin people. He
stated there was not so much complaint
agalnat the scaie ot wages ss there wss
against the lack of steady work. He felt
that It the companies would promise the
men work six daya a week, Instead of an
average the year around of four daya a
week, the workers would have little cause
tor complaint.
Dr. Nagle received the following reply
from Mr. Baer In today'a mall:
I am perfectly willing to promise the men
full time and steady work, except when
work Is prevented by unavoidable acci
dents. I am quite sure that the conditions
are such that I can keep this promise.
Will you kindly tell me how I can Rive
this assurance to the men to make It most
effective? Yours truly,
GEORGE F. BAER, President.

TARIFF NO HELP TO TRUSTS
Sanatar Allium lays Fret Trad Would
Help Big Combinations.
POINTS TO TOBACCO AS ILLUSTRATION
Policy of Protection Is Beneflclent and
Therefore Necessary Chnnares Moat
Be Left to Republican
Tarty to Make.
MASON CITY. Ia., Oct. 9. Senator Alli
son, speaking here tonight, dealt at length
with the democratic proposal to abolish the
tariff aa a means to the abolition of the
trusts. '' !' '
Plays Insignificant Part.
He said in part:
"I might give many illustrations of how
insignificant the part the tariff playa aa
respects great combinations of capital and
how puerile Is the remedy proposed for the
destruction ot all trusts by placing trust
made articles on ths free list. I think It
may be said that more of the trusts would
be benefited by the removal ot the tariff
than would be Injured, and when Injured to
endure the Injury more easily than their
competitors, who would be practically de-
troyed.
"The great tobacco combination la aa Il
lustration of this. The removal of the
duties on Imported tobacco and lta producta
would not only result In a great losa of
revenue to the government, but "would be
an actual boom to the tobacco combination.
"The only remedy proposed by the demo
crats is political and it seeks by Indirection
to attack the policy of protection, which
has withstood all direct assaulta upon It
for more than, forty yeara. The policy of
protection la a beneficent one and whatever
changes experience has shown to be needed
will be made by the republican party.
These changes cannot be hoped for except
through the republican party. The revision
proposed by our opponents Is one thst csn
nnlv lead to the destruction of our Immense
Industrial Interests, Interwoven as they areX
with all other business and oecupatlona,
and, with the destruction ot these, disaster
and distress will Inevitably follow."
