OVATION GIVEN
JOHN MITCHELL
Thousands Greet the Leader
at Indianapolis.
President of Mine Workers
Accorded an Unparalleled
Reception by the Citizens
of the Convention City.
President .Tohn Mitchell, of the United
Mine Workers of America, was accorded
a magnificent reception by the citizens
of Indianapolis when he arrived there
yesterday to preside over the national
convention of union miners, which bo
pan Its seslons today. Thousands as
sembled at the Union station, where
they vied with each other In cheers of
welcome as he left his train and walked
through the station. When he started
to.his carriage, which was waiting in
front of the station, another large crowd
surrounded him and would have carried
him to the door had he not modestly
waved the people aside.
Cheer after cheer rent the air as the
carriage moved slowly along the street,
and when he reached the Grand hotel
another demonstration was given In his
honor. No such scene was evpr wit
nessed In the city at the coming of a
labor leader, and Mr. Mitchell was him
self evidently surprised at the enthusi
asm which his presence evoked, for he
blushed like a girl as ho acknowledged
by bowing and by waving his hands the
generous compliment paid him.
Mr. Mitchell's train was scheduled to
arrive at 3 30 o'clock, and & delegation
of citizens, headed by Mayor Book
waiter and the business men of the city,
wont to Greenfield and met the Incom
ing Pennsylvania train and acted as
escort to the minors' president Into the
city. After boarding the train Mayor
Bookwalter made a short speech, In
which he referred to the people of the
city as being highly appreciative of Mr.
Mitchell's efforts In behalf of humanity,
and wished him success In his future
undertakings.
Mr. Mitchell replied very modestly to
the address, saying, In substance, that
he had tried to do his duty, and was
glad to receive another evidence that
the people are taking such a deep Inter
est In the cause In which ho Is engaged.
lie said ho wa9 but one among many
thousands who have been making a
fight for freedom and for better con
ditions, and he must construe the gen
erous sentiment expressed by the com
mittees as relating more to the cause
In which he is engaged than to any per
sonal turrit In himself.
After reaching the hotel an Impromp
tu reception was held for an hour, when
many took advantage of the occasion to
congratulate Mitchell on the wonderful
contest through which he bad gone In
the anthracite region.
A formal reception will be given the
miners' leader at Tomlltisou hall tonight
by the citizens, at which a number of
speeches will be made and wblch will be
attended by the delegates to the nation
al convention.

to Impose a license fee upon the poles
and wires of the Western Union Tele
graph Company.
The decision of the supreme court,
which was reached within four years af

of 8 to 7 was the hardest and most hotly

points by a clever punt by Jones. For
fouling the Crescents were allowed a
free throw which was not successful
Plymouth succeeded In securing 2 points
more. Another unsuccessful free throw
was allowed the Crescents on a foul.
A free throw was allowed the visitors on
a foul and preclphated tbe discussion
for a second official. After a long de
lay the matter was adjusted as above.
The throw was unsuccessful as was
al9o another throw allowed them for the
same offense. While the ball was fall
ing from the last throw it was quickly
returned to the basket and fell through
the net for 2 more points, or a total of 6
points. The locals secured two safeties
for fouls and scored both. The half
ended with the score 6 to 2 in favor of
the visitors.
The Crescents bad the better of the
second half by scoring 5 points to 2 for
the visitors. In this half numerous
fouls were committed by both sides.
YVhen play commenced Plymouth se
cured a basket and made 2 points. A
free throw by the Crescents was success
ful. Three free throws allowed Ply
mouth missed the goal and one by the
locals did likewise. A miss by the visi
tors was followed by the locals scoring a
point, giving them 4. Plymouth missed
two free throws In succession. The
locals took the ball and YVelsh threw
and secured a basket which gave them 6
points. Plymouth missed a safety and
