Tho highly realistic and successful melodrama, "The Span of Life," will be seen at the Grand opera house on Tues day evening. The story of the play Is familiar to theatregoers.

The company is a strong oue and contains many well known artists The famous Donazettas will form the wonderful human bridge. The scene represouts a rocky gorge in the heart of Africa. The heroine, who is pursued by a band of Arabs, reaches the gorge, finding the bridge gone. Throe of her friends appear on the op posite side of the chasm, and fling their interlocked bodies across the rayine, thus forming a living bridge over which the heroiue passes to safety. t t t "My Friend From India," which will be presented here on Monday evening next by the Frankie Stock Company, is a very pleasing entertainment. Addi tional charm and pleasure is afforded because the play will be presented by an excellent company. The many odd and mirth-provoking situations in tho play arise primarily from a newly-rich Kansas City pork packer's family's en deavors to enter society through decep tion.

President Mitchell, accompanied by District Presidents Nichols, Duffy and Fahy, left Sbamokin for New York yes terday afternoon to attend a conference with the conciliation committee of the industrial department of the Civic Fed eration, called for this morning at 10 o'clock. Before leaving Mr. Mitchell j said that no plan of procedure had been mapped out for the calling of either the partial or an entire suspension of work. Mr. Mitchell said he had no means of telling how the mission to New York in the interests of peace might turn out, nor how long the committee will be absent. While Mr. Mitchell is a member of the counciliation committee it is doubtful if. under the peculiar circumstances of the case, he will exercise his privilege of passing upon the miners' troubles in that capacity. The two representatives of organized labor who are his colleagues are Frank P. Sergeant, grand master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, and James Duncan, national secretary of the Granite Cutters' Union. The other members of tho committee are Franklin McVeagh, of Chicago; J. K. Ruttshnitt, vice president Southern Pacific Railway; William 11. Pfahler, former president National Founders' Association; Marcus H. Marks, president National Clothing Manufacturers' Asso ciation, and Archbishop Ireland and Bishop Potter. Upon the result of the conference in New York today depends whether or not the committee of fourteen miners authorized by the convention will be appointed. The committee will consist of seven men from District 1, five from District 9 and two from District 7. If the operators agree to meet the miners'representatives before the Civic Federation committee the fourteen names will be announced, and while negotiations are pending the collieries will work every alternate day of each week. Should the operators refuse to meet, President Mitchell, through the district presidents, will order a suspension of mining, to begin next Tuesday. In either case there will be no work on Tuesday, as it is April 1, which is hereafter to be known among tho miners as Eight-[lour Day and will be observed as a holiday in the anthracite and bituminous regions.
