BUDAPEST. Feb. . Tomorrow bids fair
to be an Important and significant day in
the conflict which the Hungarian people,
represented by the parliamentary coalition.

ognition of constitutional liberty as against

The coalition has no program of action.
It Is prepared to enter Its protest in any
way possible and has provided for alt con

party showed that Its spirit was clearly for

It was reitertied tonight that the gov

If the day passes without serious clashes
the dissolution of Parliament will still be
Important for Hungary, for the crown will
have to call new elections, in which the
coalition Is fullv confident of maintaining
Its majorities, or failing to call the elec

constitution by the king and will necessi

DOLAN WRITES TO MITCHELL
Miners' President Charged with Playing to
the Galleries,
SAYS OPERATORS CALLED HIS BLUFF
Plttsharx Leader aya Oraraalsatloa
is Beatea Because of Blaadera
of Its Rsevatlvo
Head.
PITTSBfRO, Feb. IS. In a atatement
he made public tonight President Dolan of
the local district Cnlted Mine Workers of
America scores the method of John
Mitchell, national president of the mine
workers, and charges him with trying to
shirk the responsibility for the position In
which the mine workers are at present.
Dolan also accuses Mitchell of "playing to
the galleries" by threatening the operators
with a national strike, but that the "opera
tors called the bluff." Mitchell is further
charged with sending organizers Into the
local field to defcHt Dolan and that money
belonging to the organization was used.
Mr. Dolan'a Statement.
The statement says:
President Mitchell In trying to shirk the
responsibility for the mess he hss gotten
the miners of this country Into by saying
that 1 am evidently trying to divide the
miners' forces. 1 am nut. 1 am trying to
save the miners from the danger which
threaten them because of Mitchell's lack
of courage. Mitchell, and Mitchell alone.
Is responsible for the serious situation
which confronts the miner. He got started
wrong in the Joint convention and did not
have the courage and common aense to
make a temporary retreat when he saw he
was worsted and should take up the fight
along oi her lines.
He led the argument for ihe miners by
demanding on advance in wages on the
claim that price of coal were higher at
that time than they were two years ago.
The operators Immediately took him at his
word and offered to bring in the books of
nil the companies In the country, large and
small, and have them examined if the
miners would agree to take a reduction if
the price were shown to he lower, the
operators to pay an advance If the price
were shown to be higher.
Operator Call Muff.
V. I,. Robblns asked Mitchell to accept
that offer. Mitchell never let on he heard
the question. Robhins repeated the ques
tion a half a doxen times und Mitchell sat
starinir Into soace. Robblns appealed to
the chair and the chair ruled that Mitchell
might to answer the question. Mitchell
then iirose and said:
"1 decline to anxwer."
From that time on our cake was (Tough.
Mitchell may say that 1 am not smart
enough to write an intelligent statement,
but a limn does not have to have a college
education to know when he is whipped, and
the operators had us whipped from that
moment.
When Mitchell saw what u mess he was
In he tried to scare the operators Irom
following up their advantage tiy nmking
radical statements and playing to the gal
leries. He thought lie would scare the
operators by the thoupht of a national
strike, but the operators called our bluff.
After this blunder of Mitchell we were In
nice shape to ask the-public to shut oft
their coal and stop the mills and factories
and then have the newspapers make public
sentiment lor us by telling everybody how
Just our cause is.
From the time Mitchell made that first
blunder he went from bad to worse until
the Rvnii resolution made our situation
hopeless and we came on without an agree
ment. Mitchell lias always lucked cour
age. He !s more csreful nf his own repu
tation as a aucceasful leader than .he Is of
the Interests of his oeonle. Never In his
career has he foueht 8gal'it the oopular
tide, no matter whether it was right or
wrong. Two years ago when the ooerators
whipped hm Into line for a reduction he
disappeared from the convention with an
attack of what he called "nervous nros
tratlon." and after he get out of the Turk
ish bath he made all the miners' leaders
fight to have the deleffstes accept the re
duction be'ore he would d so.
Not lafrlendly to Mitchell.
Mitchell says 1 was always unfriendly
to his administration. I was not. although
he had fought me. I had the "gall"
to be a candidate for national vice presi
dent against dim in InM and he never
forgave me. 1 have letters in my desk to
prove that he sent organisers Into this
Held and issued orders to spare no expense
to have me defeated for district president
In mv oan liehl and it whs the union's
money and not his own that he was willing
to be so lavish with to vent a personal
spite.
It has been evident for years to every
body connected with the labor movement
thst Mitchell is suffering from a common,
ordinary dose of "big head." He is work
ing all the time toward one-man power and
the truth of the matter is that he Is not
In touch witn his own people or with the
mining situation. Circumstances havn
made him. The thie ha always been in
his favor until lately and now he docs'
not measure up to his Job. It takes some
thing besides a Prince Albert emit anil a
(.grnatlon In in duuou nine ui niase i it-Mi
labor leader. It takes common sense and
courage, and the man who lacks either
ought to hire somebody to tell him of his
shortcomings and retire from his job
P. DOLAN.
Work oa Anthracite Scale.
NEW YORK. Feb. 18. John Mitchell nnd
his associates on the anthracite miners'
subcommittee today finished their work of
preparing proposals for an agreement and
will probably meet with the coal operators'
subcommittee Tuesday or Wednesday.
It was stated that no formal document
would lie submitted, but that the miners
would notify the operators that they were
ready for a joint meeting of the subcom
mittees and would then state In general
terms what they expected the operators to
grant them In the new agreement. It Is
expected that several meetings will take
place before a final agreement or disagree
ment would be reached. It is practically
certain that the miners will make a firm
demand for the eight-hour day for all men
employed about the mines. ' One of the
miners' representatives said today that Ihe
eight-hour question was more Important to
the men than any other demand that had
been mentioned.
If at the meeting with the operators this
week no agreement should be reached, the
miners would have to go back to Pennsyl
vania and the whole matter would be sub
mitted to a tri-disrrlct convention, that
being a convention of the three big anthra
cite district which control the entire coal
field. Ni matter what may be the result of
the conference here it will have to be rati
fied by the convention to be called In Penn
sylvania. The present contract between the opera
tors and the men does not expire until
March SI. so In case of a disagreement in
New York the miners will have Ave weeks
to consider what course they will take, and
to make preparations If they decide to
strike.

One of the last person Mr. McCall talked

DONAHUE AND CROWE CASE
Friend of Chief Indignant at the

Friends of Chief of Police Donahue do
not conceal their indignation over the car
toon In Sunday's World-Herald, the pur
port of which Is to . carry thq Idea thai
the -chief did nothing jrSatever to-etteot
the capture of Pat Crowe.
"The position taken by the World-Herald
all along in this case and towards me la
so well known that comment ta hardly nec
essary," said the chief when asked about
the matter. "The records and the facts
show what the Omaha police department
and myself did In this case nnd I am con
tent to let the record speuk for Itself. The
World-Herald apparently never let an op
portunity slip to discredit our efforts and
print false stories about various Incidents
of the case. It will be remembered that
at the time of the kidnaping the World
Herald Insisted young Cuduhy was only In
hiding with dlsreputuhle companions. When
Crowe was arrested at Butte this paper
carried a long story to the effect that E:dle
Cudahy himself was implicated in the kid
naping, according to statements accredited
to Crowe, which Crowe later denied. A
a matter of fact the police did everything
In their power to apprehend Crowe and to
work up a strong case against him. Dur
ing the five years he was at liberty, after
the commission of the crime, we kept In
close touch with the witnesses and wore
aide to produce all of them at the trial.
The fact that Crowe visited this vicinity
more than once, nnd was not arrested I
j not a fair criticism to the local police de
partment. We never received any assist
ance from the persons to whom Crone
talked and made known his Identity. These
were afraid to talk until after that gentle
man had left town. I paid $300 out of my
own pocket as reward money for Crowe's
arrest, and I do not know of anyone else
who hacked up his Interest In capturing
him with a like amount of rssh.
"The whole record In th case Is open ttt
the closest inspection. I am satisfied Im
partial observers cannot find my flepart
ment at fault."

arrived In Denver the day before, callod
upon me at my office und presented the
requisition papers for the arrest of the three
men. Charges or complicity in me niurnci
of former Governor Steunenburg were set
forth. I spent ail of that day, as well as
Friday and a part of Saturday, Investigat
ing the charges against the feneration offi
cials and In the end I honored the papers.
I guv.!, out no Information about the pa
pers being In my possession lest It should
be tho means of creating a movement to
keep the men from the authorities who
were in Denver to arrest them.
Governor McDonald was asked . If any
member of the Colorado National guard
was" ulnong the men who tffarfled the spe
cial train on Its way out of Denver.
"Not to my knowledge," lie replied.
The governor was told that Adjutant
General Wells was absent from the city
and was pressed to answer If he had gone
on the train with the prisoners.
The governor explained that General
Wells had been granted a leave of r.b
nence by himself and that ir lie had left
for Boise on the special he went as a pri
vate rit'zen.
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. li. The authorities
le-e refuse absolutely to give out a
purtlcle of information respecting the na
ture of the evidence against President
Mover and Secretary Heywond of the
Western Federation of Miner or that In
the ease of George A. Pettlbone, who is
also being brought here on the special train
from Ilenver. There ' only two mrn
here who know the facts, the governor and
J. H. Hawley, chief counsel for the prose
cution. Both refuse to deny or affirm the
report that Harry Orchard, the man in
custody for the murder of former Governor
Steunenburg, has made a confession. They
meet every other question In the same
manner.
Mr. Hawley, however, stales positively
that they ""have evidence sufficient to con
vict all three men. There are indications
that other arrests are pending but on this
point there is no conclusive evidence. It
seems the authorities secured Ihe extra
dition of the thr'-e men nnd nud every
thing arranged for their removal before
they were arrested.
George A. Pettlbone was connected with
the Coer D'Alene riots in 12, and was
one of five men sentenred to prison in
Detroit, for a year for violation of the in
junction of the federal court restraining
the miners from Interfering with the
miners.
President of Burke Inion Arrested.
WALLACE. Idaho, Feb. IS.-Vincent St.
John, president of the miners' union of
Burke, Idaho, according to the statement
of Sheriff Angus Sutherland of Shoshone
county, is now in the county Jail at Wal
lace, Idaho. He was arrested this after
noon on a. telegraphic order from Boise.
Sheriff Sutherland drove to Burke, which
Is seven miles from Wallace, found St.
John In bed. arrested him and brought him
to Wallace. St. John refuses to say any
thing about his arrest or the causes there
for. and the sheriff Is equally close
mouthed, but It Is almost certain It Is In
connection with the murder of ex-Governor
Steunenburg at Caldwell. Idaho. St. John
has been voting under the name of John W.
Vincent, and Is also known by that name
In his dealings with the Burke anion. Ho
came to the Coeur D'Alenes directly after
the union troubles In Tellurlde. Colo., a
year and a half ago. He has been em
ployed In the Hercules mine at Burke as
a common miner. He Is married but has
no clilldren. The arrest was msde so
quietly that Burke apparently was not
aware last night It had occurred.

PRESIDENT ON RATE MAKING
Chief Rxeeatlve Anxlnos that F.ssenee
of llepbnrn Bill Be
Retained.
WASHINGTON. Feb. ls.-President Hoose
velt In recent tnlk with senator and
representative hes stated that while he Is
not attempting to dictate the terminology
of the railroad rate hill, his preference Is
that the suhstance of the Hepburn bill
should be kept. He ha taken occasion to
say that he csres very little for the form
of the bill if the "essence" Is k"pt. There
are two or three minor point b to which
he thinks amendments may possibly be
made with advantage, as for instance, In
stead of making a thirty-day limit for the
time when a regulation Is to take effect,
to make it go into effect at any time set
by the Interstate Commerce commission.
The president has felt that there are nrgu-
ments both for nnd against the proposal
that if a stay Is granted the railroads shall
be required pending the decision to pay
into court the difference between the rates
as they exist and as they will exist if the
commission's ruling Is sustained. The
president has emphasized the fact that the
main point Is appeal to the courts. The
Hepburn bill Itself, the president believes,
allows such appeal and so does every other
proposed bill in both houses.
The proposals coming rroni Senators Al
drich, Foraker and others who hold simi
lar views to that, looking to a complete
retrial of the caso by the courts, both as
to the law and the facts, the president does
not believe in. He believes, as outlined
In his speech before the Iroquois club last
May, that the appcul to the courts should
bo only to test whether the order of tho
commission Is In whole or In part con
liscalory and also to test the legality of
the order.
The president is entirely indifferent as to
the form of the provisions In the bill so
long as the substance is right aa set forth
above. Tlie president regards all this as
contained In tliu Hepburn bill, but does
not care ns to the form In which the pro
visions are put, so long a the substance Is
kept.

STATEHOOD BILL IN THE SENATE
Mr. Dirk Will Cwntlnne Ills gpeeeh la.
Favor of the Bill Today
Pare Food Bill Also
omea I p.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 11-The house of
representative will dispose of one of the
regular annual supply measures the army
appropriation bill this week. Monday will
lie the first "suspension" day of the session.
Suspension day is a procedure win-re a
member may. If he ha made arrangements
with the speaker In advance, be recog
nized and over a motion to suspend the
rule and pas a bill. If objection I raled
a two-third vote will obviate the objection
and pass the bill, after n debate of forty
minutes, which In automatically ordered
by the objection. I'nder thia order nny
hill on the calendar 1 eligible- for consid
eration. Chairman Hull of th military affair
committee expects to call up the army ap
propriation bill Tuesdny. He estimates
that It will be Thursday or even Friday
before tlie measure I finally disposed of.
The general debate on the bill will occupy
Tuesday and at least a part of Wednesday.
Procedure under the five-minute rule will
not be curtailed and a day or more will be
consumed In scrutinizing the details of the
bill under this order.
The provision of the bill abolishing the
grade of lieutenant general of the army
will be the text of a number of speeches.
The provision Is "new legislation" and con
sequently subject to a point of order. The
making of a point of order Is wltliiit th
province of any member and the provision
may go out of tho hill In this manner.
To Kueourage Mnrkamanhlt.
To encourage marksmanship In the ui my
the committee has Inserted a provision In
the bill creating three grades of experls
and providing for Increased pay for each
grade. The first grade oarrlcs with If
added pay of $1 a month, the second grado
K und the third $3. It 1 estimated that
the aggregate increase In expenditure
under this provision will amount to I7.ia
a quarter. The benefit to the army by en
couragement of rifle expertness Is regarded
as more than compensatory, and while the
provision is, like that abolishing the grade
ot lieutenant general, subject to a point of
onler, the military committee believes that
the provision wUVremaln In thet1U.
A provision for Joint "army and militia,
maneuvers Is another topic proline of dis
cussion. There Is an aggregate of T00.(wo
carried In the measure for this purpos.
The plan. Is to have tho maneuvers held
In many sections of the country. Regular
army troop are to be marched from tholr
regular posts to the sites selected for the
maneuver and mill t la within a convenient
location will be asked to participate. In
this way general benefit Is expected to be
spre.nl throughout both organizations.
The bill contains a provision abolishing
mileage pay for ' officers and men when
traveling hy sea. In tho place of mileage
In this instance the actual evpetiseS of the
trip are to be paid by tho government. Re
tired officers are by this agreement allowed
to receive nilleego under rertain restric
tions. The use of army transports 1 re
stricted by the bill to transporting troops
and supplies o( the army.
The hou'! will probably content Itself
with working but five days this wci a,
Viking adjournment from Friday until Mon
day. '
Program of the senate.
The senate's program, so far as li hus
been arranged, provides only for the con
sideration of the pure food bill and tlie
continuance of the discussion of the state
hood bill begun last Thursday by Senator
Dick. The vole on the pure food bill will
la taken on Wednesday, and it Will lie
discussed to a considerable extent duiiiiK
Monday and Tuesday. Senator Heyuuru
has given notice that lie' will call the i-lll
up Monday for tho purpose of offering and
permitting others to offer amebdmenta. '!!:
vote will be taken Wednesday, Immediately
after the close of the routine business.
Senator Dick will continue his speech
Monday in supisirt of the statehood bill,
but there I no derision ns to who Mill
follow him. Senator Bnverldge says that
he expects the opposition to choose a u
ator to reply to th Ohio senator, but no
on on tht side appears prepared to pro
ceed with a set speech, and It now appear
probable that the proposed amendments to
the bill may be taken up for consideration
at an earlier dnte than ha heretofore been
expected.
All Interest centers In Senator Foraker'a
provision giving both territories an r.p
portunlty to vote separately on the ques
tion of Jqint statehood for New Mexico
and Arizona, and It is not Improbable that
that point may be quite suddenly reached.
The acceptance of the amendment would
not have the effect of bringing the discus
sion of the measure to a close, because
there are other questions on which the sen
ate is divided, hut It would materially cur
tail It and In the end Insure the passage
of the bill. Senator Beveridge expresses
confidence that Ihe bill will not be amended
In any respect by the senate. The oppo
nents of the bill concede the closeness of
the division and feel that their chances
are all in the Foraker amendment. Tlio
conference report on the urgent deficiency
bill will be reported during the week, but
It will probably create very little, If any,
discussion.
Confereere at Algeclras.
Th Algeclras conference on Moroccan
affairs does not promise immediate re
sults. The discussion of the conference,
the policing of Morocco, will proceed this
week. Tlie exchange of notes which has
taken place Ixqween France and Germany
lead to the belief that both countries are
desirous of reaching an amicable adjust
ment of the questions involved.
F.very prominent swimmer In the Cnlted
States has entered for the Indoor swim

New York Athletic club, beginning Feb
