HARD COAL SCALE DEADLOCK
Miners Present Two Counter Propositions,
Both of Which Aro Rejected.
RECOGNITION OF THE UNION IS WAIVED
One Offer Is to Submit the Entire
Controversy to the Strike Com
mission Dlsappoln t men t
Anions; Miners.
NEW YORK, April 12. At the meeting of
the subcommlttcs of the anthracite mine
workers and operators here today, the
representatives of the employes offered the
mine owners the choice of two propositions
in their endeavor to come to an amicable
agreement and the employers made an
Informal reply, in. which they intimated
that they are not likely to accept either of
the wage workers' offers. The operators
will make an official answer to the miners'
latest proposition by letter and there will
be no further meetings until something
developes. The meeting today did not
bring the contending parties closer to
gether. If the operators should decline to
entertain either of the propositions sub
mitted by the miners today It Is probable
a convention of miners will be called at
which the delegates will declare that a
strike exists. -.A.ni
Briefly stated the offer made by President-
Mitchell today .was a-'reabnnslon of
the mipers' original, demands wUhtwo
amendments and In case they are -not ac
cepted he proposes that the whole contro
versy be placed before thettike com
mission. . "i
. Recognition of I nloa Walred.
In one of the amendmenta to the original
demands President Mitchell drops the re
quest for the recognition of the union and
provides that the proposed agreement be
made between the operators and the an
thracite mine workers instead of
the
United Mine Workers of America. The
other amendment provide! that only em

beginning, many ladies, no doubt, In the
preparation of their Faster gowns, have
quite overlooked the details of their Faster
dress, and now find need of new undcr
niusllns. To such we would say, we are
specially prepared with finest garments nt
very attractive low prices.
CORSET COVERS Nainsook Covers,

trimmed with ribbon, torchon lace and in

ployes who are willing shall be assessed
a certain sum each month to defray the
expenses of carrying out the proposed
check-off agreement Instead of union and
nonunion men being called upon to contri
bute. If the operators will not accept the
original demands as amended, the miners
propose that they (the original demands
as amended) and the operators' first prop
osition, which provides for a renewal for
three years of the award of the anthra
cite strike commission, be referred for ,
arbitration to the strike commission. 1 bus
the miners drop their second offer, which
provided for arbitration by the concilia
tion board and ignore the operators' second
proposition with the exception of the strike
cimmissinn feature, which they accept.
The miners propose that any vacancy in
the anthracite strike commission shall be
filled by President Roosevelt.
The conference adjourned subject to the
call of the two chairmen, Messrs Mitchell
and Bacr.
Baer and Trneadale Talk.
Mr. Baer made the following answer to
the miners communication:
We regret that you have not accepted our
propositions. We do not' feel that we can
modify thein. We will hereafter answer
your communication of this dale by letter,
or If you desire a further meeting the lime
can be arranged now or be hereafter fixed
by the respeciise chairmen.
President Truesdale of the Lackawanna
railroad, was asked to explain Chairman
Baer'a brief statement. He said that it
could be accepted as meaning that the
operators stand absolutely by their counter
proposition submitted on Tuesday. As the
situation stands now Mr. Truesdale thought
if'Wa-not too-much-' to say that negotla
tions between the operators and the miners
had practically been suspended. The op
erators will take up the miners' proposi
tion of today, however, and make formal
reply early In the coming week.
At his headquarters this evening Presi
dent Mitchell confirmed the Interpretation
that the first amendment to his original de
mands eliminates the request for the rec
ognition of his union. Technically Mr.
Mitchell and his colleagues are not appear-
Ing before the operators as officers of the
I'nlted Mine Workers, but as representa
tives of the anthracite mine workers. This
was also their status before the strike com
mission In 1902-S.
Disappointment Anion Miners.
PHILADELPHIA, April 12.-Reports re
ceived here from all sections of the anthra
cite coal field are to the effect that the
mine workers are greatly disappointed at
what they regard as a virtual suspension of
negotiations between the operators and
miners' representatives In New' York. In
the various districts the headquarters of the
mine workers' local organizations were
thronged the greater part of the day by ex
pectant crowds seeking Information con
cerning the result of the conference. The
belief is generally expressed that President
Baer's brief answer to the amended propo
sition offered by Mr. Mitchell and the scale
committee leaves but small hope for an
amicable settlement of the questions at Is
sue. There was little anticipation that the con
ferences would adjust the differences today,
but the opinion had prevailed that the ne
gotiations would reach a stage which w ould
end the suspension of mining operations
and permit the Idle men to return to work
pending a final agreement. There la some
speculation as to whether Mr. Mitchell will
wait until he receives the answer to hts
latest proposition by mail as promised by
the operators, before announcing his next
step, or whether he will cull a convention
to take action upon the situation.
Work In Irwin District.
IRWIN, Pa., April H.-'-A general report
of conditions in the Irwin coal field re
ceived her today shows that almost com
plete forces are again at work at all the
mines,- with additional men ready as soon
as the collieries are in the shape they
were before the strike.
' Kansas Miners In Session.
PITTSBURG. Kan., April U.-The Kansas
mine workers' convention continued in

strike was taken. The scale committee will
report tomorrow.

DICS MOINES, April V. Toduy'a session
of ' the miners' and operators' conference
was given up to a discussion of minor fea
tures of disagreement and several were
disposed of. Enough progress has been
made to warrant mem tiers of the confer
ence saying that the scale would in all
probability be completed In time for the
mines to resume operations about May 1.

The bridge two miles west of Benson, it
has been learned by the county commis

CONDITION AROUND VESUVIUS
Graphic Description Written for Associated
Press by Robert Underwood Johnson.
AWFUL MAGNITUDE OF THE DISASTER
Hundreds of Square Mllea of Land
Covered with Vineyards and Mi
lages Burled Beneath Lata,
Ashes and Cinders.
NAPLES, April 12. The following descrip
tion of the conditions surrounding Mount
Vesuvius was written for the Associated
Press by Roherl ,'nderwood Johnson, asso
elate editor of the Century Magaxlne:
"Ihad the unexpected opportunity to re
alise the niaatiltnde of' the disaster by per
sonal observation In a trip entirely around
Vesuvius.
"Since the Chicago fire I have seen noth
ing so terribly Impressive. Twenty years
will .not repair the damage. Including the
destruction of four whole villages. Arrlv.
Ing from Rome to hours late by train 1
Joined a parly.of two Italian gentlemen and
two English, women, including Miss Under
wood, the Home correspondent of the Lon
don Standard: We caught a train from
Torre Aununziats three miles this side of
Pompeii anrt two poiles from the southern
end of the wedge. of lava which destroyed
Bosco Trecase. 'Rising at an angle of
fifty J degrees he vast mass of tumult
roundness, was beautifully accentuated by
the full moon. Shifting momentarily Into
new forms arid drifting south in low. black
clouds of jshe'ant cinders, reaching to
Capri. At Torre del Greoo we ran under
this- terrifying pall, apparently V feet
above, the solidity of which was soon re
vealed by' the moonlight., The torches of
the railway guards added to the effect, but
greatly relieved the aulphurous darkness.
"We reached Torre Annunrlata at 3
o'clock in the morning. There was little
suggestion of. a disaster, a we trudged
through the sleeping tewn to the lava, two
miles away. The brilliant moon gave us
a superb view of the volcano, a gray
brown mass rising, expanding and curling
in with a profile like a monstrous cyclon
pean face. But nothing In mythology gives
a suggestion of the fascination of this aw
ful force, presenting the sublime beauty
above, but In lis descent, filled with the
mysterious malignance of God's under
world. '
Lava Flow Stops In Cemetery.
"We reached the lava at a picturesque,
cypress-planted cemetery on the northern
boundary of Torr Annunxlata. It was as
If the dead had effectually cried out to ar
rest the crushing river of flames which
pitilessly engulfed the statue of Saint
Anne, with which 'the people of Boscoe
Real tried to stAy it. as at Catania, the
veil of Saint Agatha is said to have stayed
a similar stream from Mount Ktna.
"We climbed on the lava, it was cool
above, but still alive with fire below. We
could see dimly the extent of the destruc
tion beyond the barrier of brown which
had closed the -streets, torn down the
houses. Invaded the Vineyards and broken
Cook's railways.
"A better 'Idea of the' surroundings was
obtained at dnwri from the railway. We
saw north whit waa left of Boscoe Trecase
a great square stone 'church and a few
houses inland In s sea of dull brown lava.
North snd east rose J.000 patches of blue
smoke, like swamp miasma. All was dull and
desolate rlag, wIV nowhere the familiar
serpentine, forms of the old lava streams.
Tn terrible 'contrast' With the volcanic evi
dences were' tUrongHiwrtreftses and hloom
ln csmelllas. ln- neighboring cemetery.
"We ate a nAsfy'tlWricon trf-fore sunrise,
"When'rhe treat beauty of the scene was
revealed. The column now seemed higher
and more. massive, rising to three times
the height of Vesuvius. Kach portion had a
concentric motion and new aspects. The
south edgs, floating towards the sea,
showed exquisite curved surfaces, due ta
the upper moving current. It was like the
decoration of the side of a Greek sarcopha
gus. As a yellow dust hangs over Naples
and hides the volcano. I count myself for
tunate to have seen all day from leeward
this spectacle of changing, undimlnishlng
beauty. My companions left for Naples
after driving to Pompeii.
F.astern Wedge of Destruction.
"After three hours' sleep I went to the
excavations, . expecting to return to Naple
by the afternoon train, but here I met
E. A. Bowen of New York, who gave such
an alarming account of his experience on
the train coming through on Monday In
the .darkness at Torre del Greco that I
concluded to return by the north, first
visiting the eastern wedge of destruction;
which was ce'ntrsl at Ban Giuseppe.
"With Mr. Bowen I left Pompeii in a
car, expecting to strike the edge of the
lava. 1 What was my surprise to find no
new lava at San Giuseppe. Four towns
here were destroyed, In different ways,
namely, by rain, cinders and ashes, which
could not be skirted" for they lay every
where In a mass which had broken nearly
every roof within the area of thirty mllea
by ten. From the lava, which was moving
several feet a minute, we had no difficulty
in escaping.
"At Bosco Trecase the carbineers drove
the people before the fiery avalanche, but
thejllmsily built houses were no protection
agalrsl the blltaard of cinders and ashes,
tasking the roofs or strongly built walla
all Saturday. The wedge east of the vol
cano thus destroyed extends ten mMes at
least, with a width of twenty or thirty
miles.
"Fancy a rich and thickly populated
country of vineyards lying under three to
six Inches of ashes and cinders of the
color of chocolate with 'milk, while above,
to the west, the volcano in full activity
is distributing to the outer edges of the
circle the same fate and you will get an
Idea of the desolate Impression of the
scene, a tragedy rollossal and heartrending.
Like that of Calabria, It enlists the sym
pathy of the civllixed world. It takes time
for such a calamity to be realized. :
"The king, the duke of Aosta and Premier
Sonnino have been on the ground. For the
present the roads are almost Impassable
even for automobiles.
Three Hoars' Walk Throagh t taders.
"Two miles be lew San Giuseppe we struck
cinders which the soldiers were shoveling,
making a narrow road for the refugees.
Our wagon driver begged off from complet
ing his contract to take us to San Oiusep).
We had not llie heart to Insist, so the
rest of the journey to the railway at
Paltna, eight miles, was made laboriously
on foot for three hours through sliding
cinders. In many places temporary shelters
had been built by the roadside, like chil
dren's playhouses, Htre wointn were
huddled with their bedding, awaiting th
coming of supplies which the army had
begun to distribute. The men were largely
occupied with shoveling cinders from the
stronger n i f s and floors Into heaps three
to six feet deep along the roadside. Many
two-wheeled carts loaded with salvage and
drawn by donkeys or pushed by peasanta
were making their way along, the women
with bundlrs on their htads or carrying
poultry. In the square of Sun Giuseppe
was an enuuiipinent of soldiers with low
tenis. Near a destroyed church. In coarse
yellow linen shrouds, were the bodies of
thirty-three of the 106 persons who there
lost their lives. The peasants were sad
but uncomplaln'ng; in fact, for so excitable
a people they were wonderfully calm. As
evidence of lit Unlit and if-repoi of
these, we were not sked for alms during
the afternoon.
"At Palms, where we succeeded In catch
ing a train for Naples, we heard greetings,
and on looking back saw that the general
commanding the district had arrived an.l
the people were running to greet their
representative of the government' active
assistance to the stricken region.
"This is a sad year for southern Italy,
the second terrible disaster In a few month.
To judge what I learned from the peasants,
there is likely to be a substantial Increase
In Immigration to the I'nlted" States by
reason of this calamity, of which the end
is not yet."

Vagrant.
Although Mrs. Sylvester Proctor and Mrs.
Grace Younkln positively identified Dan
McCarthy, In the presence of Detectives
Mitchell ind Donolioe and a reporter for
the Bee, as being the jiian who held them
up Thursday evening at Twenty-third and
Vinton streets, the other circumstantial
evidence against the prisoner was not such
as to warrant filing a complaint of high
way robbery against the man. He was,
however, arraigned in police court Thurs
day morning on a charge of vagrancy and
sentenced to thirty daya in the county jail.
Three holdups. In which women were
victims, occurred within two hours in .the

culprit in each case being the same man,
the police believe. Several other women
viewed McCarthy and were as positive he

positive he was the man.
HARRIMAN 'PHONE SYSTEM
Through Service on Pacific Road

la
Construction has been begun by the
Vnlon Pacific In Wyoming on the new In
dependent telephone system to be estab
lished by E. H. Harrlmnn along the lines
of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
from Chicago to San Francisco. James
McReynolds, who has just completed the
construction of 2,000 miles for the Postal
TeWgraph company In Wyoming, will have
charge of the work, with headquarters in
Cheyenne. This line will be built for the
purpose of facilitating the handling of
trains. A separate pole line which will be
used exclusively for the telephone and
block system will be built the entire length I
of the system. These poles will not be
high, but especially strong, as the primary
object of the telephone will be for use In
despatching trains when the telegraph la
out of service. The first division to be
constructed will be from Green River to
Cheyenne and will be completed this year.

BKTWEEN
Vlie Devil and the Deep Sa.
When coffee gets a person well within
its grip and the drug habit Is fixed then
comes twisting and turning to get free.
With many people, if the coffee Is left
off at breakfast a headache sets in, und 'if
coffee is taken the old stomach and nerv
ous disorders are simply added to and
made more fixed and harder to escape
from. Still there Is a very easy way to
freedom and health.
A woman in Mo. says:
"1 never thought uf attributing my ail
ments to coffee till several months ago, I
saw a Postum Food Cuffoe advertisement
which stated that the old kind of coffee
was frequently injurious to people, so I
thought I would try Postum, anyway, for
I waa in a most wretched condition, a
nervous wreck with weak heart which
lluttered and threatened to atop.
"The first time I made Postum Coffee,
I boiled It well and was delighted with
the flavor. My husband who did not know
that it was not the old kind of coffee,
relished it very much, saying "What good
coffee that is!' Hut after breakfast 1 waa
taken with a headache and drowsiness
caused by the lack of the customary drug.
I was resolute, however, and drank it for
dinner and supper. The next day the head
ache was not so bad and by the third day
it was gone, bay by day I felt better, and
soon noticed that I did not tire so easily
as I used to. in two weeks my friends
began to compliment me on my Improved
condition. I rapidly gained In flesh and
strength, and In 3 monihs was a new being
with strong, steady nerves and easy, com
fortable, healthy heart action. I feel like
thanking you ao much for Postum Food
Coffee." Name given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek. Mich.
Headache, when coffee is left off, is rara,
but is a sure, infallible sign of a poisoned,
drugged nervous system, calling more and
more tor the drug that caused the trouble.
To yield to the fierce demand of the drug
habit Is most humiliating and sinks the
victim deeper, with certainty of fixed or
ganic disease if persisted in. It Is easy to
change from cottee, if Postum Food Coffee
id used in Us place, for Postum well made,
that is, boiled long enough, has the deep
aval brown of Mocha and the soft smooth
tnot stiongt flu or much like old Gov't
Java, the taste being distinct hoaever and
belonging only to genuine Postum. Leav
ing off coffee that breaks down the nerve
centers and taking a food drink that sup
plies the needed elements to rebuild them
ntaa.es rapid cbaugs lur tU good.

Speech of Sew York Orator.
WASHINGTON. April 12. The feature ei
today's proceedings- In the house of repre.
sentatlves was the speech made by Mr.
Cockran of New York, who under an agree
ment made on a previous day, was given
an hour to elucidate the subject of "gen
eral debate" on appropriation bills. In
view of the announcement that Mr. Cockran
would speak the galleries were crowded
and a very large proportion of the mem
bers of the house were in attendance.
Mr. Cockran, after a short discussion of
the Action of "general debate" and the
failure of members to attend the sitting
of the house while subjects covering the
widest possible latitude were being illumi
nated, launched out into a defense of the
Hepburn rate bill and the high position
taken by the house not only in the excep
tional character of legislation, but In a
dignified way in which the bill passed the
lower branch of congress. In this connec
tion he ridiculed the constitutional debater
In the senate.
Increased pay for carriers, a subject
which has been a fruitful source of im
passioned eloquence for a number of years,
also gave the partisans of these men an
opportunity to put themselves again on the
record.
Progress was' made on the poatofflc ap
propriation bill, eighteen of the twenty
nine pages having been completed, but few
amendments being made to the measure
and these not changing the amount of the
appropriations to any considerable extent.
