MITCHELL CENTER OF INTEREST. Every Delegate Whose Opinion Waj Sought Felt That the Convention Will Do Whatever Their Leader Advises—Total of 636 Delegates. Wilkesbarre, Pa., Oct. 20.—About 700 delegates of the United Mine Workers of America from the hard coal mining district of Pennsylvania met in tbs Nesbitt theater today to act on the pro posal to settle the long strike by arbi tration. The convention was oalled by President Mitchell, under the rules of the union, to vote on a proposition which he laid before It and later ex plained fully in a lengthy address. Previous to the assembling of tha convention there were busy scenes at •trike headquarters, the Hurt hotel, from where the miners’ battle has been directed since the strike began 168 days ago. Before 10 o’clock the min ers’ delegates, the majority of them having arrived on the early morning trains, began to gather there. Presi dent Mitchell was the center of inter est and until he left for the conven tion hall was always surrounded by his lieutenants and others. The final details for the meeting were arranged In his office this morning. The dele gates were in the beet of humor as they loitered about the hotel lobby. The feelings of the men were evi denced In a brief conversation over heard from delegates from distant points. Said one: “Well, what do you think of the sit nation now?” “Oh, we are here to finish it and I guess we will.” Every delegate whose opinion was sought felt that the convention would do whatever their national leader ad vised. There was a general cheerful ness In the faces of the men, which was reflected In the faces of the citi zens of this prosperous city, in and near which 50,000 of the strikers live, and even the fine, clear weather seem ed to suggest peace and arbitration. Among the late arrivals at the con vention hall was National See- Treasurer W. B. Wilson ' -a to be the secretary of " ^uventlon with the secrotari. „ of the three districts as his assistants. He was of the opin ion that the convention would end to morrow and that the men will return to work on Thursday. He said the outlook for acceptance was bright, but there were still intimations among the assembling delegates that there were objections on the part of some to call ing off the strike until positive assur ance Is had that all the men will go back to the positions they occupied before the strike began. As is customary in convetions of the mine workers, the district secretaries acted as the committee on credentials. These secretaries had already complet ed their work and when called upon by Chairman Nicholls after the con vention call had been read, their re ports were made. John T. Dempsey, of district No. 1, read his report first. He was followed by Secretaries John Gallagher and George Hartley. The three reports showed a total of 636 delegates. The total probably will be Increased after all the credentials are received. It was 11:05 o’clock when the read ing of the reports was concluded and as the business cannot go on until the committees on credentials make a final report, a motion was made to adjourn until 2 o’clock., Before the motion was put It was suggested that the delegates be entertained by songs. This was adopted, and for a brief time the big convention was turned into a social meeting. The convention adjourned until 2 o’clock this afternoon. Core Makers on Strike, Cincinnati. Oct. 20.—Five hundred core makers struck here today on ac count of a misunderstanding about ap prentices. There is no demand for more wages or less hours, but less ap prentices, and It Is thought that the differences will soon be adjusted. The strike affects over 5,000 iron molders. Hard Work to Subdue Fire. Rome, Oct. 20.—A dangerous fire broKe out last night from some un known cause In the underground chambers of the College of the Prom- ganda. The firemen had two hours of hard work In subduing the conflagra tion. Cardinal Gottli, prefect of the propaganda, whose apartments are in anofh-er part of the building, did not know of the danger until the flames were extinguished. * Bribery Charged to Millionaire. St. Ixxuis, Oot 20—The October grand jury has just handed down an indictment charging Colonel Edward Butler, a prominent local politician and millionaire, with bribery in connection with the dty lighting deal, In which $47,000 Is said to have been disbursed among members of the house of dele gates combine.

Excellent Music by the Choir and Certifi cates In Bible Study Presented. The service at the First Baptist ohurch Sunday night was full of in terest to all who attended. The choir under the direction of Mr. Geo. Pratt Maxim rendered some splendid music. This was the first special music they have given this season. It was heartily appreciated by the congregation. The feature of the evening was the presentation of certificates of profi ciency to those who successfully passed the examination on the Bible study course of last year. The course last year covered the acts of the Apostles and the Epistles, espe cially the life and Epistles of Paul. Fifty-one successful examinations were sent by the First Baptist church B. Y. P. U. to the society headquar ters at Chicago, and the certificates were the awards made by the Inter national Committee at Chicago. Rev. Arch C. Cree, the pastor, preached an earnest sermon on the words, “We would see Jesus” and closed with'an appeal for the Bible study course of the coming year, which is the “Life of Jesus.” Quite a number have signified their inten tion of taking the - course, and there^ is every promise that this year’s work will be even better than that of last year. At the close of the sermon Mrs. Geo. G. Byers sang a very sweet gos pel solo, ‘‘Christ is all in all.” After which certificates of proficiency were presented to the successful members of the B. Y. P. U. Bible classes. The certificates are handsomely gotten up in regular diploma form and signed by the International Committee. All in all it was a delightful service, and doubtless many were led to re solve to know more of Jesus and His wonderful life. Any who desire to take the course of study on the Life of Christ will be cordially welcomed. Send your name to the pastor. Ttie CoftmopolitHii’g Service. In making the effort to present a fairly complete series of studies of the leaders in the American business world, the editors of The Cosmopoli tan believed that they would be ren dering a distinct service to the gen eral public. Every effort has been made not only to ' ,Hb distinguished writers, b-‘ dame time to have tb° -ode by men of large experi- —^e, who would be capable of under standing difficulties surmounted and appreciate results accomplished. Certainly serial ever presented in The Cof politan has been so widely read b- ie general public. Before the c' -lusion it is intended to cover the idustrial world—those who dir in manufactures, commerce, ba ing, insurance, publishing, tr isporting—all the pursuits in ilch organizing talent has been re quired to achieve present develop ment. In the September issue an insight into the careers of John W. Gates, Charles R. Flint, Sir Hiram Maxim, H. H. Rogers, John Arbuckle and others is presented.

Paul, Oct. 20.—James Younger, formerly a member of the notorious James band of outlaws, which Infested the western country a quarter of a century ago, has committed suicide by shooting. On a bureau In the room was found a long manila envelope, on one side of which was written: “To all that is good and true I love and bid farewell. Jim Younger.” On the other side of the envelops were these words: “Oh, lassie, goodby. “All relatives just stay away from me. No crocodile tears wanted. “Reporters, be my Mend. Burn me U P. Jim Younger.” The envelope contained a package of letters that had passed between Younger and a lady with whom he is said to have been much In love. The lady, who is prominently connected, ia said to have reciprocated his affection and it was reported at one time that they were to be married. The lady’s relatives raised strenuous objections to the wedding, and a fur ther obstacle was the fact that a pa roled prisoner could not legally con tract a marriage. The couple deter mined to disregard the objections ot relatives and an effort was made to overcome the obstacles to their mar riage by securing from the state board of pardon a full pardon and restoration to citizenship. This effort failed, and this, it Is thought, had much to do with Younger’s determination to end his life. The lady is said to be now in Boise, Idaho, for her health. Requisites.
