              THE YOUNGSTOWN NEWS Y OUNGSTO WN, N. Y., FRIDAY. OCTOBER I©. 1902. VOL. XXII. NO. 36. GOLER DEMOCRATS' CHOICF The State Ticket Nominated in Convention at Saratoga, N. Y. COAL STRIKE MADE AN ISSUE The Public Ownership and Operation of Anthracite Mines Advocated After the .Exercise of the Right of Eminent DomainDevery Barred Out of the Convention—The Platform Adopted. Saratoga, X. Y.-The New York Democratic State ticket is as follows: For Governor, Bird S. Coler, of Brooklyn; Lieutenant-Governor, Charles N. Bulger, of Oswego; Secretary of State, ■frank H. Mott, of Chautauqua; Controller, Charles N. Preston, of Ulster; State Treasurer, George R. Finch, of 'Warren; Attorney General, John Cun- Been, of Erie; State Engineer and Surveyor, Richard W. Sherman, of Oneida; Judge of the Court of Appeals, Johu Clinton Gray, of New York City. • >. The four striking features of the convention were the wild demonstration over the unseating of Devery, the attempt of Nathan Straus to persuade the convention not to nominate Mr, Coler, the declaration by William Hepburn Russell, the Chairman of the Greater New York Democracy, that Democratic differences in New York City had been buried, and the declaration in the platform in favor of ownership and operation of the anthracite -coal mines by the Federal Government. Scenes of great excitement attended the unseating of Devery. The former Chief of Police of New York City forced his way to the platform and made a speech in which he demanded Lis seat in the convention. Finally Devery was unseated by vote of the convention. But four counties voted for his retention. He made dire threats that he would bolt the ticket and stump the State against Hill and his party, but when he left for New York City he addressed a crowd of his friends as follows: "I am not prepared to say anything other than that I am a Democrat and will support thp,ti£k£.i nominated to-day. I was robbed of my eeat, but that seems to be one of the incidents of the convention. Maybe I will have better luck next time." The platform adopted opposes trusts that injuriously affect customer and •employer and drive out small manufacturers, and especially condemns the so-called Beef and Coal Trusts for "unreasonably depriving the people of necessaries of life." Restriction of the amassing of wealth is' advocated, and the" amendment of the tariff law by placing the necessaries of life on the free list is demanded. The Dingley tariff law is condemned as a whole. The President is criticised for dilatory conduct, and is accused of not wanting to offend the trusts. The platform asserts that the propo- amend me United States Constitution to enable the Federal Government to proceed against the trusts is a mere subterfuge to get delay; condemns the neglect of the National and State administrations to enforce the Sherman law; condemns the action of the Government in its treatment of the Philippines; demands justice for Cuba in the matter of trade by reducing the tariff to a strictly revenue basis and demands public ownership of anthracite coal mines by the right of eminent domain, and the payment of full damages .to owners, so as to insure peace in the mining regions and relieve the consumer. The declaration regarding National ownership of anthracite mines is as follows; ."We advocate the' National ownership and operation of the anthracite coal mines by the exercise of the right of eminent domain with just compensation to owners. Ninety per cent, of the anthracite coal deposits of the world being in the State of Pennsylvania, National ownership can be but in the interest of the whole people. "Fuel, like water, being a public necessity, we advocate National ownership and operation of the mines as a solution of a problem which will relieve the country from the sufferings which fojlow differences between labor and capital iii the anthracite mines. This course will insure peace in the mining regions, and remove the cause for differences leading not only to suffering, but oftimes to bloodshed and insurrection."It will relieve the consumers of coal, not only in this State, but throughout the whole country; insure steady employment and ample compensation to transfer children from the mines to the schools; insure, strengthen and preserve the stability of the business interests and popular institutions of our country. Whatever differences of opinion may exist over other propositions of public ownership the propriety of-that policy as applied to anthracite coal mines must be apparent to every citizen." The platform favors the plan of canal improvements, which provides for a barge capacity of 1000 tons for the Erie and Oswego canals and adequate and necessary improvement of other canals of the State; it urges a just and equitable Excise law in which the home rule principle shall be recognized; it sympathizes with the oppressed of the monarchies of Europe, and deplores and condemns the outrageous persecution of Jews of Roumania, and also favors the election of United States Senators by the people of their respective States. MOROS'CRUSHING DEFEAT  Americans Win Complete Victory and Take Forty Forts. A Sortie by Fanatics, Led hy a Sultan, Met and Repulsed, and the Leader Slain. Manila.—The American column under Captaiu John J. Pershing, of the Fifteenth Cavalry, lias completely routed the Maciu Moros in Mindanao, killing or wounding 100 of them and capturing and destroying forty forts. Two Americans were wound.ed. On Tuesday the Moros retired to their largest and strongest fort, on the lake shore, and Wednesday Captain Pershing attacked them with artillery, bombarding the enemy for three hours. At noon Lieutenant Loring, leading a squad of men. attempted to set fire to the fort. He crept under the walls and started a blaze, but the Moros discovered him and forced the Americans to retreat. During the afternoon the Sultan of Ca.bugatan led a sortie at the head of a band of fanatics armed with krisses. They crept through the grass and sprang up and attacked the Americans. The Sultan was wounded six times and boloed an American before he died. His followers were killed. In the darkness Wednesday night Captain Pershing took his batteries within 100 yards of the fort, closed in his infantry lines and resumed the attack. The Moros broke through twice and attempted to escape by the beach, but were discovered and many of them were killed. The Moros abandoned the fort early on Thursday, after fifteen hours' bombardment, and Thursday Captain Pershing destroyed the rest of the forts and returned to Camp Vicars. It is believed the moral effect of the defeat of the Moros will be great. General Davis has ordered that hostilities be stayed in order to permit the Sultan of Bacalod and other hostile Sultans to make peace. The Sultans of Maciu were confident of their ability to defeat the Americans and vowed before the fight to enter slavery voluntarily if they themselves were defeated. General Davis has sent General Sumner, in command of the American forces in Mindanao, a congratulatory telegram on the success of Captaiu Pershing and the small American loss. A CARLOAD OF BABIES. Infants From Now York Foundling Asylum For Families in Wisconsin. Milwaukee. Wis.—A carload of babies was shipped through Milwaukee a few days ago. One of the little ones was consigned to a Milwaukee family, but the consignee did not appeal1 at the station, and so no baby was left off here. They come from a New York Catholic foundling asylum, and are beins distributed to families in this State. The car arrived on the regular passenger train from Chicago at 11 o'clock a. m., and started for Oslikosli* a few minutes later. There were thirty-five babies on board, varying in ages from a few months to two or three years, and were in charge of a matron, a nurse, and a male attendant, who took care of the transfers and receipts. They traveled in a regular first class coach, lying on the seats on improvised beds of linen and baby blankets, and were extremely well behaved. A FIFTEEN-YEAR-OLD BRIDE.  She Had Eloped and the Truant Office* Was SearchinK For Her. Goshen, N. Y.—Lud Fuller, twentythree years old, and Mabel E. Allan, fifteen years old, both of Middletown, went to Port Jervis and were married at the Methodist Church parsonage there by the Rev. W. A. Cliadwick. The match was an elopement, and both of the young people intended that it should be kept quiet for some time. They returned to their respective homes, and none was the wiser until Truant Officer S. R. Morgan called on the bride's mother, Mrs. .Tames Allan, and stated that Mabel must return to school. The young lady declined, but the "bogy" man was insistent, and finally he was informed of the wedding. He threw up both hands in surprise, but recovered his composure sufficiently to congratulate the bride, after which he speedily departed. AN ELOPEMENT OUT WEST. Cowboy Loclxinvar Shot by Girl's Fatlic* Gets Married Just the Same. Hyannis, Neb. — William Clark, a cowboy, eloped with Myrtle Shawberg, bis employer's daughter, near here. Shawberg saw them as they started and emptied his gun at Clark, one bullet taking effect in the latter's hip. The couple got away, and when they reached Hyannis sent for a doctor and a preacher. While one probed for the bullet the other married them. Clark swooned from pain at one part of the ceremony. The father arrived just as it was concluded, and was sent away at the point of a gun in the preacher's hands. The girl was pledged to a man of her father's choice, but fell in love with Clark when the latter save her life in a runaway. Kiotinsr at Glens Fall#, X. Y. A mob of fully 5000 sympathizers of the Hudson Valley Railway strikers paraded the streets at Glens Falls, N, Y., stopping all cars as they came through and storming the cars, breaking windows and cutting trolley ropes. So great did the disturbance become that Sheriff Gill ordered out Company K, of the National Guard, stationed there, to disperse the mob. COAL CONFERENCE FAILS President Asks in Vain For Resumption of Mining:. PROPOSITION OF THE MINERS The Operators Keject the OSer of the Strikers' Leaders to Arbitrate and Mine Coal l'ending: a Decision — They Slake a Kequest For Federal Troops— The Plea of the President—The Outlook Washington, D. C.—The coal strike conference in President Roosevelt's sick room in the temporary White House resulted in .otal failure, aud the two parties are, to judge by their manner and words, further apart than ever. The miners offered to put their men back at work immediately, provided the operators would agree to leave the issues to President Roosevelt to decide and agreed to abide by his decision or by the decision of a tribunal to b? appointed by him. operators rejected this proposition •utterly, and would consent to nothing that involved any recognition of the Miners' Union. They offered to make concessions, but insisted on leaving each employer free to deal with his own men. The representatives of the miners claimed that the main question was the public need for fuel, and Mr. Micliell argued that acceptance of his proposition would relieve the public distress. He maintained that whatever might be the merits of the strike, the questiou of the people's need for coal would be instantly settled, and he laid stress on the fact that lie did not propose to keep the men on strike until the President's award was made known, but was willing and anxious to put them to work at once and let them keep 011 mining coal until Mr. Roosevelt's decision or that of his tribunal was made. The operators insisted that to allow any such settlement of the case would be to surrender all that they were fighting for. Some of the operators suggested that, instead of dealing with Mitchell, the President should send Federal troops at once to Pennsylvania. Mr. Baer was the first speaker, and he hinted at this. Mr. Thomas gave a stronger suggestion, and Mr. Markle made it stronger. He openly demanded in so many words that the President "put the Federal troops in the field." The same idea was carried out by the others.Mr. Wilcox went so far as to recall the action of President Cleveland in 1894, and to say to Mr. Roosevelt: "If the National Government would now enforce the law with equal promptness the strike would end next week." The conference was divided into two parts. The morning conference, which began at 11 o'clock, was short and formal. Mr. Roosevelt made his speech of appeal, urging both parties to settle their differences on the ground of patriotism and pointing out the public need. Mr. Mitchell then made his offer to leave the question to the President and put the men to work. The operators, Mr. Mitchell says, rejected the proposition on the spot. All this was by word of mouth, and it was agreed that what each side had to say should be put in writing and submitted at the afternoon conference. The morning meeting did not last twenty minutes. President Roosevelt greeted the representatives of the miners with the same marked cordiality that he showed to the operators. Mr. Baer and his friends and Mr. Mitchell and his comrades bowed politely to each other. The conference started off with good feeling. At 11.19 it had come to a close, and the two parties to the meeting as guests of the President came down stairs and went away. The President had read to them the address which set forth his reasons for calling them together. The President's statement follows: "I wish to call your attention to the fact that there are three parties affected by the situation in the anthracite trade: The operators, the miners and the general public. I speak for neither the operators nor the miners, but for the general public. The questions at issue which led to the situation affect immediately the parties concerned—the operators and the miners, but the situation itself vitally affects the public. "As long-as there seemed to be a reasonable hope that these matters could be adjusted between the parties it did not seem proper to me to intervene in any way. I disclaim any right or duty to intervene in this way upon legal grounds or upon any official relation that I bear to the situation, but the urgency and the terrible nature of the catastrophe impending over a large portion of our people in the shape of a winter fuel famine impel me, after much anxious thought, to believe that my duty requires me to use whatever influence I personally can to bring to an end a situation which has become literally intolerable. "I wish to emphasize the character of the situation and to say that its gravity is such that I am constrained urgently to insist that each one of you realize the heavy burden of responsibility upon him. We are upon the threshold of winter with an already existing coal famine, the future terrors of which we can hardly yet appreciate. The evil possibilities are so far-reaching. so appalling, that it seems to me that you are not only justified in sinking, but required to sink, for the time being any tenacity as to your respective claims in the matter at issue between you. "In my judgment the situation imperatively requires that you mep.t. unon the common piane of the necessities of the public. With all the earnestness there is in me, I ask that there be an immediate resumption of operations in the coal mines in some such way as will, without a day's unnecessary delay, meet the crying needs of the people."I do not invite a discussion of your respective claims and positions. I appeal to your patriotism, to the spirit that sinks personal considerations ani makes individual sacrifices for the general good." The afternoon conference, which began at EL o'clock, lasted two hours and was exceedingly heated. Bitter language was used, and fists were waved in the air—not to emphasize threats, but for the purpose of gesticulation. At the close of the conference Mr. Baer came to the door first, and when he saw the array, turned to his associates and said: "Well, look here; we have got to run the gauntlet, and we may as well go together." Deep interest was manifested in the conference on the part of the public. The sidewalks and street in front of the temporary White House were thronged with people, who anxiously awaited the result. Newspaper men lined either side of the entrance to the White House, from its doors to the street. # The President treated his visitors with fine, well-poised courtesy, and from anything he said neither side could conceive that lie felt displeasure in their attitude. Yet, after the conference, lie spok'< to Attorney-General Knox, Postmaster-General Payne and Secretary Root in severe criticism of the unyielding position of the operators.What, if any, will be the next step taken in Washington to reach a settlement Of the trouble is problematical. A member of the Cabinet, who saw the President after the conference, said: "The conference has ended without settlement. The President is profoundly disappointed. He still hopes for a favorable result. There will be no further conference, but what has been done may lead to something effective here or elsewhere. There are intimations that unless the parties to the controversy make a move shortly to reach a settlement, the President will communicate with Governor Stone of Pennsylvania and suggest that the State of Pennsylvania might properly take positive steps to terminate the struggle." Wlvr President Mitchell and his associates returned to their hotel the leader of the striking miners made a statement about the conference to newspaper representatives. Mr. Mitchell said that after the President had read his statement to the conference the miners' committee at once proposed to refer the questions and issues of the coal strike to the President for adjustment. The operators promptly refused the proposition. Mr. Mitchell said: "It was evident to the miners! representatives that the coal operators have neither regard for their former employes nor for the public, which is suffering so much for lack of fuel. "As a consequence of the refusal of the operators either to grant concessions or defer to impartial arbitration the coal strike will go on. "I am firmly convinced that the miners will win, although we deeply regret the refusal of the railroad presidents to defer to the wishes of the nation's Chief Executive. "The President expressed the hope that there would be no lawlessness in the coal fields, and the representatives of the miners assured him that every effort would be exerted to maintain peace." The operators had nothing to say for publication, and it was announced at the temporary White House that President Roosevelt had no comment to •make on the results of the conference. BAY STATE REPUBLICANS. Nominate a State Ticket Headed hy John L. Bates, of Boston. Boston. Mass.—The Republican State convention has nominated a ticket headed by John L. Bates, of Boston, for Governor. General Curtis Guild, Jr.. of Boston, was named for Lieutenant-Governor.An unexpected attempt to amend the platform caused a suddeu but very brief storm. Former Representative Frank M. Fitts, of Somerville, moved an amendment to the platform in the form of a plank for reciprocity with Canada, and an immediate revision of the tariff, so as to include free coal, free iron, free steel and free hides. After a short, heated discussion the amendment was overwhelmingly defeated.The platform as adopted indorses the administration of President Roosevelt, declares that the policy of protection, which is the cause of the country's prosperity, should be adhered to, commends the gold standard, opposes illegal trusts and corporations, and approves of the efforts of the President to end the coal strike. VERMONT'S NEW HEAD. The Legislature Elects General John G. IVlcCulloush Governor. Montpelier, Vt.—A summer of political strife over the question of a new Governor for the Green Mountain State came to an end when the Legislature, in convention assembled, elected General John G. McCullough, Republican, of Bennington. Mr. McCuilough received the support of 164 members of the convention. Percival W. Clement, the high license local option candidate, received 59 votes, and Felix W. McGettrick, the Democratic candidate, 45. Z. S.

TWO BOYS FOUND SLAIN Their Bodies Discovered in a Field Near Haddon Heights, N.J. POLICE ARREST A COMPANION Friend of Victims Said to Have Been Seen With Them X,ast—He Stoutly Maintained His Innocence, Although Positively Identified by a Girl—Poison Theory Advanced by the Authorities. Camden, N. J.—ln finding the bodies of John H. Coffin, eleven years old, and Price Jennings, three years his senior, in a weed-grown field on the farm of Hillings Lippincott. on the Chew's Landing Road, near Haddon Heights, about seven miles southeast of Camden, the police had a baffling mystery on their hands. The dead boys were sons of wellknown Camden men. They disappeared from their homes shortly after noon Wednesday. The body of Jennings was found Friday night. That of Price was found the following morning. A short distance separated them. Murder is strongly suspected. Paul Woodward, of Camden, sixteen years old, was placed under arrest, charged with the killing of young Coffin only. Not a single mark of violence was found on the body of either lad. Poison was what killed them, perhaps. The police officials are inclined to this theory. The stomachs of the victims were taken for analysis to George M. Berringer, a Camden chemist. Young Woodward stoutly maintained his innocence. Shortly after nis arrest he made a voluntary statement. He traced his movements from Wednesday to the present time without hesitation. He admitted seeing Jennings and Coffin on Tuesday, but not since then. His story, however, is contradicted by Lillian Martin. She is fifteen years old and lives in West Collingswood. She declared that on Wednesday afternoon, between 4 and 0 o'clock, Jenuings and Coffin, with an older boy, entered the Cycler's Rest on the White Horse Pike, where she was a clerk, and bought pies and soda pop. She was confronted with Woodward in County Prosecutor Lloyd's office, and she identified him as the youth who was with Coffin and Jennings. This is-practically all the police have learned. The two boys were great chums. Wednesday afternoon they met outside the Jennings home and walked north. They were last seen alive in the "Cycler's Rest," within a short distance of where their bodies were found. Immediately after their disappearance the police were informed. No clue was discovered, although the country was searched. Clarence Krusen, of Haddon Heights, and Frank Johnson, boys of Philadelphia, found the body of Jennings. They had been shooting blackbirds on Friday, and at dusk were hurrying through the Lippincott farm toward Krusen's home. Following a path along the brink of a pit, leading from a chestnut grove, they stumbled over the body of Jennings, which lay under a tree. They ran to Haddon Heights and told Freeholder Samuel Wood. He in turn telephoned Coroner Paul Litchfield. No search was made for the second body until Jennings had been identified by John Coffin's father. It was then searchers found Coffin's body in a clump of weeds forty yards from where Jennings had been found. Soon after both bodies arrived at the Morgue the autopsy was begun. The police lost no time, and acting on a clue given them by Mr. Coffin, Woodward was arrested. For .more than an hour Prosecutor Lloyd and Detectives Cherry and Hart cross-examiued Woodi ward. Three times he was confronted with Lillian Martin, and each time as she left the Prosecutor's private office she declared that he was the boy who was with Jennings and Coffin at "Cycler's Rest." The only explanation given as to why Woodward was charged with killing Coffin was that the authorities were not sure of their ground, and simply wanted to hold the suspect until something more definite could be learned. Young Coffin was a son of William Coffin, Division Freight Agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Jenning's father is Josephus Jennings, a wellknown musician and director of the ! Third Regiment Band of Camden. CONVICTED OF BRIBERY. Snyder Sentenced to Five Years in fehb St, Louis Franchise Case. St. Louis, Mo.—R. M. Snyder, banker, promoter and millionaire, well known in financial circles in New York City, St. Louis and Kansas City, was found guilty of bribery in connection \yitli tlie passage of the Central Traction bill, and the jury assessed his punishment at five years in the penitentiary. He offered absolutely no evidence in an effort to establish his innocence, but relied entirely upon the attempts of his counsel to prove that the statute of limitation ought to apply. The testimony offered by the State (Showed that Snyder placed $150,000 or more in the hands of members of the Municipal Assembly to secure the passage of the bill of which he was the promoter. Under the Missouri law if Snyder had been a continual resident of the State since the passage of the bill the statute of limitation would be effective. The State proved that he lived at least the greater part of 1899 in New York. STATE NEWS. A Baby in the Basket. .fhe family of the Rev. Milton Dubois, of Gang Mills, lias been increased in a mysterious manner. Several day* ago a stylish-looking young woman called at the parsonage and asked permission to leave a basket. She was permitted to do so. It was soon discovered that there was a baby in the basket. Several hours elapsed, and when the young lady failed to put in an appearance, a further examination of the basket was made. Sewed to a portion of the child's dress was found a note in a feminine hand, the import of which was that the child was of highly respectable parentage; that the pastor and his wife had been expressly selected to take charge of the infant, and praying them to bring her up and direct her life'toward the straight and narrow path. The child's clothing was of the richest material and workmanship. The woman who left the child was about twenty-six or twenty-eight years of age, of medium stature, and wore a light veil over her face. Palefaces Made Indians. Charles A. Loekard, President, and John O. Nye, Secretary, of the Onondaga Litholite Company, have returned to Syracuse from On-Ta-Ro-Go, the Seneca name for Cummingston Heights, near Akron, where they attended an Indian council and were adopted into the Seneca Nation. The ceremonies were conducted by Head Sachem Nis-Nea-Nyah-Nant, known to the palefaces as Chauncey Abrams, assisted by a large delegation of Seneca chiefs, braves and squaws, representing the Wolf, Bear, Snipe, Beaver and Hawk tribes. The ceremonies were opened with an eloquent address, delivered in the Seneca language, by the Head Sachem. The Indian name of He-No-Wah-Kah was bestowed upon Mr. Nye, and he chose to belong to the Snipe tribe. Mr. Loekard received the Indian name of Nun-Da-Wah-O, and he became a member of the Beaver tribe. Piank Sidewalka Taken For Fuel. Not a ton of anthracite coal can be had in Rochester at any price, and people who did not lay in a supply early in the summer are already suffering. A cold snap would cause great suffering. Sidewalk inspectors reported to Commissioner of Public Works McClintock that in the outlying districts residents were tearing up the sidewalks and using them for fuel. Altogether several miles of plank walks have been pried up with crowbars and carried off. In some sections canal bridges have been stripped of planking. Piles of new lumber left on streets for repairs have disappeared while the workmen were away at dinner. Residents have also complained to the police that their fences were being torn down at night. In the Nineteenth Ward three telephone poles were choppd down and carried off. Recovered Her Voice After Two Years# A remarkable recovery is reported from Crown Point, where Mrs. A. J. Petty, who has been dumb for two years, has entirely recovered her voice. Without any apparent cause her voice suddenly left her, and she could not talk except in a very low whisper, A few days ago she was taken ill, her family physician diagnosing the trouble as congestion of the lungs. A short time afterward her voice returned as suddenly as it had left her, and she has since been able to talk as strongly nud naturally as ever. Dog Clears Out a Drug Store. A small fox terrier suffering from rabies dashed into the crowded Sheldon drug store at Watertowh, yelping and leaping at everything in its path. There was a stampede for the street, and the dog had the store to himself. William Jackson came to the.rescue with a burlap sack. I-Ie walked up to the snarling dog, and deftly grabbed it by the back of the neck, dropping it into the sack. The dog was chloroformed. A' Senater Kernan's Widow Dead.
