the federal Inquiry into tho coal miners'
strike her today, placed the Mam for
the strike on tho refusal of the mine
operator to confer Vtth'; officer of the
United Mln Workers of America.
Mr. Patterson, who dearrlbed himself
as a small mine owner.' sketched tho his

by shooting at and killing a striking

impression was that there waa not justi
fication for that killing. Violence began.
The miners attributed it to the 'gun

Senator Pater aon told of a series Jof
conferences with Oovernor Ammon and
with representatives of the mine owner
and the United Mine Worker separately.
He said the operators flatly refused to

vance toward prosperity will be witnessed

Tha report was prepared by John Hay

will be confronted this winter "by a sit

The great savings Institution of New
York City report that business la now

Philadelphia, and even In Pittsburgh,
despite the severity of th depression in
the Iron and steel trade,' the deposit of
th largest savings banks have during
the last month exceeded withdrawals."
Certain lines of trade have been stimu
lated because of order placed by foreign
nations, but the purchase of supplies by
belligerent nation "satisfies but a slight
faction of th Amerlcaa, business world,"
the report state. '
.'"The last few weeks," says th report,

bate court today the allegation that her
son, heir to the Sllngsby estste In York
shire, had died and that she had sub

Mrs. Sllngsby was subjected to a se
vere eross-examinatlon, during which
were brought up statements made by wit
nesses at tha hearing held In San Fran
cisco by the California board of health,
which led the board to decide that her
son had died and that she had substi
tuted a child belonging to Mrs. Lillian
Anderson of California.
Mra Sllngsby met these statements with
a succession of denials. She admitted
that she had arranged for the insertion
of an sdvertlsement in a Ban Francisco
newspaper concerning the adoption of a
ohlld, but she said that she had done so
merely to gratify a whim.
She denied that Dr. W. W. Fraser of
San Francisco had telephoned to her thai
he might be able to procure a child fot
her, or that she had applied to the As

an Infant. She said she had not accepted
from any person any child for adoption,

by today's run. . Each had taken step
over night to meet the situation. Each
announced that all depositors were free
to withdraw accounts In full without

early In the forenoon adopted the policy
of paying depositor tin each and tellln
