"Do you mean to nay Ihat he Is
lobbying?" snapped Acting Chairman
Reed, while Senators Cummins and
Nelson Bet baick in their chairs with a
look of pleaned surprise on their aceu.
"I am giving my definition," said
Senator Townsend.
Turning to Acting Chalirman Reed,
Senator WaJah made the following
forma1 motion: "In view of the sorlo is
statement of the witness on the Bland
ttmchtag executive coercion, 1 move,
Mr. Chairman, that upon request of
any member of the commission that
any witness may be recalled to the
stand."
The motion was adopted unanimous
ly, its effect will be to force the re
call to the stand of all the Democratic
senators.
"I have $1,500,000 invested in two
Pittsburg papers," said Senator Oliver
of Pennsylvania on the stand.
"To suppCy the print paper I use I
have a paper mill worth 100,000. I
own 1.000 shares of United States
Steel preferred, 50 shares of the com
mon stock, 7,700 shares preferred and
50 hare common of the Pittsburg
Coal company."
All told the senator recited a list
of ho'dlr..;s worth In the aggregate
about 7,.'.00,000.
Because copper is not included In
the new tariff bill Senator Oliver could
not be induced to tell of his 'holdings.
Anked what interest, if any, he had
in the tariff, witness said that a reduc
tion of $2 a ton on print paper would
greatly benefit him. Mr. Oliver was
then asked about those who had called
upon him in connection with the tariff.
Ho said a great many Pittsburg manu
facturers had visited him, but none of
these was a lobbyist. They were all

Oliver characterized them.
Iron and teel men comjosed the
majority of his callers, he declared,
and added that the question of ferro
manganese dirties formed the principal
subject of their arguments.
Senator Penrose testfied that in his
sixteen years' exiperit-nce in Washing
ton he never 'had known of any at
tempts to Influence members of con
gress improperly. He gave the names
of 175 'persons who had called on him
since Jan. 1 on the tariff but declared
that none was a "lobbyist," in the gen
eral acceptation of the term. The list
was made up of manufacturers, labor
leaders, attorneys, Importers and
others wiho feared they would be af
fected by tariff changes.
"It's well known that certain inter
ests have agents here," the senator
said, "and 1 supipose they are paid
salaries. They evidently get informa
tion for their organizations. This
work is perfectly legitimate. I have
seen Mr. Burgess for the pottery in
terests here for years and Mr. Brown
lor the cotton people. Their work Is
perfectly legitimate as far as I know.
My own opinion is that the lobbyist is
principally a thing'of the past."
The f,teel industry and coal Inter
ests of Pennsylvania have ihad no
permanent representatives in Wash
ington for many years, Senator Pen
rose said. Their custom of keeping
representatives In Washington had
"died out ten or twelve years ago."
He estimated that not more than 40
per cent as many persons had come
to Washington on tariff business this
year as compared with four years ago,
but reiterated that the persons here
now were here at previous tariff revisions.

EARLY HEARING
FOR UNION MEN
Alleged Miners' Heads Would
Ruin W. Vajoal Market
GOVERNMENT THE PROSECUTOR
That United Mineworkers Is In Con.
tplracy to Restrain Trade Is Charge
Contained In Startling Indictment.
John P White, president of the in
ternational! organization of the Unltfvl
Mine workers of America; Vice PreHi
dent Frank J. Hayes aud seventeen
olliciails and subordinate officers of
District No. 17, the miners' union at
Charleston, W. Va., indicted by the
federal grand Jwry charged with viola
tion of the Sherman anti-trust law, will
be summoned to appear before Judi?e
Benjamin F. KeiLlBr earty this week.
The government, it is said, will aak
that the trial proceed at once.
The indictments and allegations that
there Is a conspiracy in restraint of
trade and commerce between the
United Mineworkers of America and
coal operators of western Pennsyl
vania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois
against the West Virginia coal opera
tors have caused a profound sensa
tion. While the names of the wit
nesses who appeared before the fed
eral grand jury in the case have not
been divulged, It is known that coal
operators of Paint and Cabin creeks,
where labor troubles have been
abundant, and former officials of the
miners' organization assisted In gath
ering information.
It Is charged that the defendants, as
agents and members of the union, un
lawfully conspired to unionize the coal
mines of West Virginia, with the ob
ject of fixing through the wages to bo
paid minora prices at which the coal
mined in Che state of West Virginia
coitld not compete with coal mined in
western Pennsylvania Ohio, Indiana
aud Illinois.
It is averred in the Indictment that
the coal now produced In West Vir
ginia is shipped in competition with
that mined in the four states named
above to the markets known as the
lake trade, and to cities in the middle
west, and that the contemplated or.
ganlzations of the West Virginia min
ers ts to restrict the sale of West, Vir
ginia coal In these markets.
The second count cites that not
more than 13 per cent of the coal
mined in this state is consumed with
in its borders and that the rest Is
shipped to other stales. It charges
that the purpose of the I'nited Mine
workers of Amerk-a Is to fix wages
paid to laborers and to refuse to allow
laborers to work iinleBS tlhe wages
fixed by the organization are received;
that that organization fixes the wages
In the four competitive states and that
by so fixing the wages the organiza
tion can and Intends to make the cnsl
of mining coal in tills state so great
that it cannot compete with that of
the other states.
The third count charges that the coal
producers of western Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois have entered
Into a combination with tho United
Mineworkers of America and the de
fendants wlieirein the alleged con
spirators have agreed to prohibit the
coal mined in West Virginia from
entering the lake maarkets and by
unionizing the West Virginia miners,
exclude the West Virginia coal from
those markets, giving tho coal pro
ducers of tilie four S'tates a monopoly
of those markets and the I'nited Mine-
workers of America a monopoly of all
labor employed at the mines.
In pursuance of this alleged con
spiracy the lndietnieut recites that
there was such violence and lawless
ness in and nbout the mines on Paint
and Cabin creeks with such loss of
life and property that the governor
was required to call out the armed
forces of the state to maintain peace
aud order.
The fourth count charges a monop
oly of labor to prevent operators
from securing labor in the open market
and on a competitive basis.
HEETER DECLARED GUILTY
Made Improper Advances to Three
Women, Say Probers.
Superintendent S. I,. Heeter of the
Pittsburg public schools was deter
mined guilty of making improper ad
vances and taking unwarranted liber
ties with a former woman stenog
rapher in his employ, a woman ser
vant in his home and a young woman
teacher in the public schools by the
citizens' committee of nix appointed
by the board of public education to in
quire Into the charges against tin)
school official.
Tho committee found no evidence
of wrongdoing on the part of the su
perlntendeiit in regard to the charges
of the three young women, but all
members concurred in t;he conclusion
that he had been guilty of Indiscreet
conduct.
Heeter was removed from ollice by
the board cf public education.

All Trace of Pittsburg Depot
Murderer Lost
V. E. Sage, a clerk employed in
the Pennsylvania railroad ticket of
fice in Union station. Pittsburg,
is still at large alter killing James A.
McN'air, ticket agent, and seriously
wounding Ralph Pauley, assistant to
.McN'air, In their ollice in the depot.
Railroad, county and local detectives
combed the downtown section of the
city and that part of the county lying
between the city and C'heswkk, Sat'e'a
home, in an endeavor to effect his cap
ture. At a late hour none of the clues
followed by Uie sleuths was of any
consequence.
Dis.satislaction over the failure of
au expected increase in salary Is said
to have been the cause of the shooting.
Sage fired three shots, all taking
effect. One struck Pauley in the head
near the rijjlit ear while the other
two struck McN'air, ouo of which
entered the lett ciiee-k and came out
of his mouth, the other striking Mc
N'air almost in the center of the head.
This bullet took a downward course,
plowed through tho brain and came
out of the head about one Inch in tho
rear of -the place where It entered.
.May 1 there was a reorganization
in the ollice at Union station and sev
eral of the employes were given In
creases in salary- Sate was not in
creased. Alter tho shooting Sage Apparently
seemed salislicd and, walking briskly,
strode into a small corridor and out
the main entrance by way of the bag
gage room door. He then entered the
drug store corridor of the station, ran
in a northerly direction until he came
to the north side of the station, and
passed down e:ist through the Inner
corridor, past flie elevators in the west
end ot the building to a stairway lead
ing down to the street level in Liberty
avenue.
Kmployes of the station all knew
Sage and tlicught he was hurrying to
a restaiiiaul for his dinner. No at
tempt was made to stop him.
