CONTRACTS END NEXT MARCH. Incroass In Wages in Proportion to Higher Cost of Living and Recogni tion of Union Demanded to Avert Industrial War. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 18. Mine workers of the anthracite region were advised to strike for higher wages and other concessions when the existing agreement expires next March by Pres ldent Benjamin McEneny at the an nual convention of the Wyoming Lackawanna district workers here. Ho declared that when the strike com mission's awards went Into effect nine years ago they were not then and are not now what the miners wanted. During that period, he said, the opera tors have not increased wages, al though the cost of living had doubled, and they have not granted a single concession of Importance. Cheered by the delegates, McEneny declared that It is unfair to expect the mine workers' organization to be any longer held responsible for peace In the anthracite region unless It is dealt with as a party to future contracts and Is conceded the authority It should havo to enforce the observance of contracts that are made. He also declared that there was Industrial peace In the anthracite region when the contracts expired In 1000 and 1909 merely because the mine workers be lieved it would bo for the purpose of having peace. Now they havo reached the peace and must havo Increased wages, recognition of the union and other concessions. The mine workers of the district number some 80,000, but the olllclal re port showed nn average monthly mem-bet-ship of the union in the district during the year of less than G.SOO.

SENATOR GiLLISGER. 1 Sorrow and Old Age Firco His Retirement From the Senate. SUICIDE TO CHEAT MOB. Crippled Tramp Shoots Woman and Daughter When Refused Food. Washington, Pa., July. IS. Falling to get food when he applied to Mrs. Mary Potco of Monongahela, an unknown cripple, hobbling along with a crutch and a wooden leg, suddenly pulled n revolver nud, without warning, fired two bullets, striking Mrs. Potco and her daughter Grace, who had run to the door at the first sound of trouble. Mrs. Potco's scream as she fell brought neighbors to her aid and soon a crowd of men and boys had collected and started after the tramp. As he saw the crowd coming the man ran to the river bank, jumped into a small boat and, at the point of his revolver, commanded the boatman to cast off. The latter started just ns the leaders of the mob reached the river's edge. With cries of "Lynch him!" the first of the mob sprang Into the water after the fugitive. The tramp threw nwny his revolver and crutch and sprang from the boat, swam out a short dis tance and, throwing up bis hands, sank. The body was recovered In a few minutes, but life was extinct. Al though the wounds of both Mrs. Potco and her daughter are of a painful na ture, both will recover. Atlanta, Go., July IS. Following (he refusal of ex-Governor Joseph M. Terrell to serve longer ns United States senator and the nnnounced de termination of Governor Ilokc Smith not to ouallfy ns senator until the regular session of congress In Decern' ber, but to remain governor in the meanwhile, resolutions are to be intro duced in the legislature today asking Governor Smith to resign at once nnd go to Washington nnd qualify as sen- ator, to which position he was chosen last week, defeating Terrell, who was lining the scat of the late Senator Clay. The resolutions will provoke a bitter debate and Governor Smith will be severely criticised by his enemies and also by some others who voted for him for senntor and think ho ought to re sign as governor nnd go to Washington and qualify as senntor. It is generally believed, however, the resolutions will bo defeated if they come to a vote. Governor Smith said that ho hnd noth- lng further to say regarding the sena torial situation. Ho has declined to take any action on Terrell's resigna tion and remains firm in his decision not to resign the governorship until December, nt which time he proposes to qualify as a senator. WILSON IN WILEY CASE. JJEGIN EXFL0SI0N PROBE. Inquest-to Learn Cause of Mine Horror Starts Tomorrow. Dubois, Pa.. July 18. An Inquest over the bodies of the twenty-one vie tlms of the explosion in the shaft of the Cascade Coal an,d Coke company at Sykesvlllo will be Jield tomorrow by Coroner Stayers. T1q bodies were not mutilated or burned, nnd it Is evident that they died as the result of nfter-damp G. A. Burrell, the chemist with the bureau of mines car from Pittsburg took a quantity of blood from the body of eacli victim nnd will analyze It for the purpose of determining the mini ber killed by the explosion and the number meeting death by afterdamp. Immediately after the removal of the bodies the members of the rescue cm- went into the mine for the pur pose of making an Inspection. None of the party would express an opinion regarding the cause of the explosion but the theory generally accepted on the part of the state Inspectors Is that the first group of miners found had drilled Into a pocket of gas. Secretary Said to Resent Chemist's Usurpation of Power. Washington, July 18. The state ment was made at the department of agriculture that Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of chemistry, had not yet filed with Secretary Wilson his reply to the charges mado against him. While it is known that President Taft is anxious to dispose of the case ns soon ns possible, it is said that he has not directed that Secretary Wilson file hs recommendation within nny par ticular time. It Is believed, however, that President Taft may pass on the case this week. Secretary Wilson has dismissed Floyd W. Robinson, nn Inspector of drugs, for "the good of the service." Robinson Is said to have been active with Wr. Wiley in the benzonto of soda campaign. The dismissal of Robinson is taken here as another Indication of Secretary Wilson's intention to assert bis author ity In the department against those who have been riding over him. The chief complaint mado against Dr. Wi ley's conduct of his office Is that ho has run his bureau over the heads of his superiors. Detroit, Mich., July 18. Dr. Robin son is not In the city and probably will not be for several days. His friends say, however, that bo will put up a fight before submitting to his removal. New York, July 18. No new cnsei of cholera have developed either at Swinburne island or among the 2(ii passengers nnd the 91 members of tin crew of the steamship Perugia, whlct arrived from Italian ports on Satur day and detained nt quarantine. During Sunday night, however Francesco Franda, n llfteen-year-olc boy, who was removed to Swinburne Island from the steamship Moltke with three other cases in which cholera was suspected, died. This made a to tal of six fatal cases from the Moltke The other cases in which cholera was suspected show no alarming symp toms, according to Health Officei Doty, nnd Dr. Doty and his assistants feel reasonably certain that there will be no further trouble until more ships arrive from Mediterranean ports. None are due until tomorrow. The Perugia was disinfected under the direction of Dr. Doty and the Ital ian royal commissioner and was al lowed -to proceed to her pier. Dr. Doty will probably appear at the investigation of his office now be ing conducted by Commissioner Bul ger, whose statements concerning the administration ot affairs at quarantine after listening to the testimony of a number of immigrants and employees, Dr. Doty says, are unfair and calcu lated to disturb confidence an'1 disci pline nt a time when both are badly needed. FEDERAL AID IN EPIDEMIC. Surgeon Cofer Ordered to Assist Dr. Doty at New York. Washington, July 18. The public health and marine hospital service Is to keep an expert consulting physicinn at the port of New York during the present cholera trouble. This doesn't imply a national quanantlne. Three times before the public health service has sent a federal official to Now York In time of a threatened epidemic of cholera or the plague. Surgeon Cofer of the public health and marine hospital service, who has already been In New York recently to confer with Dr. A. H. Doty, health officer of that port, will probably be returned to New York to remain there while the cholera senro persists. The chief danger to this country lies in the spreading of the disease through bacilli carriers, persons carrying chol era vlbrous intestlcally and yet show no signs of the disease. ! WANT PUBLICITY.
