A distinct Impression pretuils iu in-'
i rnieu political circles toduv (hat Col
onel John ('. tJroome will be- tho nc.vt
(Ineelor of public safely.
H is underslooil that Mr. Moore is so- '
nonslj considering Colonel Cronmo as,
'lie MicrcRsor to Diicetor Wilson.
Close friends of Mr. Moore believo I
tin; colonel is the strongest possibility I
for 4 hi most important place in tho
oiiicial cabinet. i
The colonel Is favored nnlwithstnml- I
nig that ids appointment is being op- I
posed bj some who were prominent In
lliecondiicl of the Moore campaign.
The Major-elect has frcqueutij air
l.uiinced he would select for director of
1 ublie safety a man particularly iiiali-
ucii lor me jiosi. who -would also ho
able t" command the respect of the
tin mbers of the ('cpnrlniciit and of the
liople. anil be rendj and willing to cn
I'mce a nou-political ailmliiistration of
"he police and firemen.
Point to (ironimt's Sen Ires
t'olonel (iroome'h services with the
American expeditionary forces, and
earlier, iu organizing the efficient ytulo
police, are being pointed to by his sup
porters. '
Tim colonel said toduyftliat ho had
ihiI been, in communication iu any waj
with Mr. Moore j'inec he returned from
nluond. Friends of' .Mr. Moore, who
buppen also lo be friends, of the colonel,
have spoken to hint on' the subject of
Uie directorship,
"Hut," said the colonel" I hnve not
heard nt all from Sir. Moore. 1 have
had no offer from hliu, It Is unthink
able, therefore, that T discuss u matter
which, so fur as T urn concerned in
l.H re gossip.
"1 certainly could not say iu advance
whether or not X would accept, or reject
any offer. hnve given fourteen years
to the state police; was in the Cuban
"row" and, of course, two tears iu the
"fuss" .over there. That is about all
that a man should be called on for.
"I'd like or chunco to rest now. It
lias been a matter of regret to mo that
my unino has beenoised no freely iu con
nection with Mr. Moore, I have no
desire to be put in the position of in
spiring the tulk iibout mjself. Of course
friends have talked to mo about It, but
it would bo unfair to Mr. Moore for
mo to presume to talk about what 1
know nothing of."
Shortly after Colonel Oroomo return
ed to I'liiladelphia, he met Murdock
Kcmlrick, Mr. .Moore's campaign man
ager, on tho street. The two hook
hands and Mr. Kendrlck said ho was
glad to see tho colonel back. Colonel
tiroome expects to b mustered out of
the service next week.

Italpli (Jreeulenf, the young billiard
expert, who has many friends iu this
city, has resumed his exhibition tour
after his rather disconcerting experi
ence in llrldgeport. Conn., Tliiirsdaj

Incorrect dispatches from llrldgeport

plained Coroner Mix iu New Hnven.
"They were not arrested, and I am sat
isfied they know nothing ot the facts
of tlie Illiiknvvitss case," liinkowlUwas
n Wall street messenger. His body
was found In Milford, Conn., three
months ago.
Mix explained that coroner's sub

fiieenlenf and Wurduu, because thej
had a slight ucaualntance with a per

tomobitc trip of 100 miles through tlin
mining district of the Monongahela
alley todaj. It revealed convinc
ing! the denioraii.ntion which this coal
strike has wrought in this field in the
short spare of one week.
Long trains of cars deserted at the
months of mines; rail and river tipples
silent; lines of empty coal barges fring
ing the river's bank, thousands of eniptj
railroad cms waiting to be filled add
miles of steel cables rusting from dis
use nlong the slopes. This was the
inanimate picture presented.
As for the animated scene, there were
hundreds of men w itb hands iu breeches
pockets, smoking pipe-, sitting on the
steps of mine stores or conversing in
groups along the streets. Occasional!
one or two would saunter to the mine
office to get their pay slips, or stop to
talk a moment with mine boss or super
intendent who might be in the vicinity.
It was a depressing scene, and nu
ideal ilif.v for a ease of the "blues."

if possible, to secure immediately mi
order to compel the miners' chiefs to
call off the strike. .
The program for the bearing today
provided that the miners' motion for
dismissal of the government's case!
should be argued first. The miners
based their motion on charges that the
government is without nutliorilj to in
terfere in disputes between einplojers
and emplojcs growing out of wage oen
troversies, and in "this louucctlou (he
Clnjlou act of 11)11 is cited as uu

JAPAN WILL CO-OPERATE
Reply to U. S. Note Removes Danger
of Complications In Siberia
Tolilo. Nov. 8. (ISy A. P.) The
conciliatory and dignified nnture of
Japan's reply to the American note of
last September complaining of lack of
co-operation of Japanese, troops in the
operation of the trans-Siberian Hall
way, is believed here to nave removed
any danger of serious complications be
tween Japan and the United States over
conducting Iho railway.
hi effect the reply ratifies the arrauge
nient reached ut Vladivostok by Roland
S, Morris, the United States ambassa
ador, n'nd (ienernl l)i, commander of
Japanese forces in eastern Siberia, and
commits Japan to co-operation iu the
future. .
The Chinese cousortum question,
however, has come strongly to tho fore
ground us a problem requiring immedi
ate, and frank negotiations.
It is likely, the negotiations will be
left in the hands of Ambassador Morris
oi Tokio to be -worked out on the 'spot
rather than to a formal loug-dUtance
exchange of commui.-atiou3. ,
