Pittsburg, April 30. The controversy between the 40,000 unioi miners and operators of the Pittsburg soft coal district, which has resulted, in a month's suspension of mining, was settled late last night. The minerswill return to work Monday. The settlement brought about through the adoption of a proposition made by National President T. L.

Lewis of the United Mine Workers at a conference between committees of tie operators and men, which began early in the day and was in session larteTnto the night. I The miners are to receiveXjyr advance of 5.55 per cent, but thewfge matter had not lately been as rnuchof a controversy as the permissible "powder issue." As to this it has been arranged that in the twelve-mines now using explosives, which the state law demands, tests are to be made and if it is shown that permissible powder produces more slack in coal than the black powder, the miners are to be paid the difference If the run of coal is the same, no change is to be made. Providing against the possible extension of the use of safety powder, Presi- dent Lewis proposed that wherever in tne iuuire me state snouiu oruer iat use of safety powder in mines now using black powder it should not be adopted until an agreement is made between miners and operators that will cover the change in a manner that will be satis factory to both sides. The provisions, otherthan these points, were largely routine and made no change in the present manner of mining. FIBBED TO CENSUS MAN AND KILLED HERSELF FOB REMORSE.

April 30. The first teat Tote on the railroad bill was had In the senate yesterday, and resulted in a victory for the administration member. The Cummins amendment, which would require all traffic agreements made between railroads, and all rates, fares and charges to be approved In advance by the interstate commerce commission, was defeated by a vote of 20 to 85. Eleven republicans, most of them Insurgents, and eighteen democrats voted for the Cummins provision. All of the votes against it were cast by republicans.

The vote Is generally accepted as a test of the strength of the contending Ides respectively, and it is believed that It presages the passage of the bill by a safe majority. The vote represented only little more than two thirds of the senate membership. Of the total membership of 92, there were 28 senators who did not vote, and of these, four were absent without bring paired, and all of these were democrats. They were senators Clarke of Arkansas, Bank head of Albany, Me-Enerny of Louisiana and Smith of Mary- All the democrats present voted for the Cummins provision, so that if the democratic senators who were absent and unpaired had been present and had voted for the amendment, the ballot in Its favor would have been increased to 83, still less by two votes than the votes against the provision.

Voting to Be Resumed Today.

There Is a general understanding that voting will be resumed today and it is expected that all amendments, including that of Mr. Cummins, will be voted down and that the Crawford provision, which has been accepted by the committee, will be adopted. The Cummins provision was offered as a substitute for an amendment introduced by Senator Crawford, which was favored by the senators supporting the administration bill. The insurgents and democrats contended that the purpose of the Crawford provision was to take the railroads out from under the Sherman anti-trust law. It would permit traffic agreements to be made with the approval of the commission, but would not require that each rate, fare and charge be submitted to the commission in advance of Its going into' effect.

In the house the railroad bill was der consideration also. Numerous amendments were offered, most of which were voted down. An amendment making provision that the physical valuation of railroad properties shall be ascertained was offered by Mr. Madden of Illinois and adopted after ah extended dis-. cuBRion.

The provision adopted yesterday for the inclusion of telegraph and telephone companies within the scope of the interstate commerce law was today further amended bo as to permit of charges being made for press dispatches and for night messages than are made for commercial dispatches. TRIO OF ALLEGED CLEVER CROOKS. Police Uab Three Men Who Arc Said to Have Long Records For Daring Crimes. New York, April 30. Three men, one ef whom has an international reputation and a prison record almost as long as the tally of his years, have been rounded np by Pinkerton men, assisted by detectives from headquarters, on the charge of grand larceny in passing forged checks on the liberty National Bank of this city.

The charge upon which each of them was held specified only $180, but the detectives believe that the three have got sway with a total of $15,000 from various banks in this city In th-3 last year. The penman of the trio and the one who has served prison sentences In two countries) and a half a dozen cities pass ee at present under the name of Charles "Wells. Wells, so the detectives say, is much better known as Charles Fisher, an Englishman of gentle birth, who has led a career of crime since 1874. The. other two said they were Alfred T.

New York, April 30. Mayor Oaynor and William Randolph Hearst both issued statements last night on the issue of veracity raised Thursday night at the joint banquet of the Associated Press and the Newspapers Publishers Association when the mayor said that Mr. Hearst was a forger and a falsifier. Supplementary statements were issued by Comptroller Prendergast' and former Comptroller Metz. Mr.

Hearst's statement is: "I am not entirely familiar with all the accusations against Mayor Gayrior, or his attempt to divert attention from them by an attack on the American. I have just returned from Mexico. a "It is obvious to anyone, however, that the mayor's defense is false upon its face. "His attack upon' the American is entirely disingenuous and wholly untruthful. "His only claim is that the American failed to print clearly the date on a.

photographic facsimile of one of the documents in the case against him, although the American carried the same date of the same document clearly printed in type in the text of the article. "What a pretty quibble for an important man, or, rather, what a quibble for a petty man who holds an important position! "Anybody who knows the high char acter of the gentlemen who edit the American knows that, no matter how much they might despise Mayor Gaynor, they would never seek to take an unfair advantage of him. "Anybody who knows the ability of the gentlemen who edit the American knows that if they had desired to omit the date of any document they would not have been so childish as to print the date conspicuously in the type while they -were leaving it out of the picture. The Important Fact. who can read and think can see clearly that the date In question is not the important date, anyhow, but that the important date is the date of January 4th, a date in Mayor G-aynor's administration upon which the payment of Cohalan of $48,000 was finally signed and actually authorized.

The January 4th signature was affixed by the assistant chamberlain in the offices of Chamberlain Hyde, Mr. Gaynor's law partner. "This latter man who is popularly known as 'Gaynor's thick Hyde' is not only Gaynor's law partner, but the person who figured conspicuously In Gaynor's golfball" decision in favor of race track gambling. "The two constitute the Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of law and politics.

"Mr. Chamberlain Hyde claims that his assistant chamberlain is a holdover from the last administration. But assuredly he is a very permanent holdover, for he is still assistant chamberlain, although the last administration has been four months out of office. "Mr. Hyde might go as far as to explain why this same assistant chamberlain was not allowed to sign the Cohalatt warrant under the last administration and why he was allowed to sign the warrant under the present administration.

"Why do not Mr. Gaynor and his thick Hyde discuss the date of January 4th, about which there is no question of bad printing, about which there is merely a question of bad administration. "Why do Mr. Gaynor and Mr. Hyde so earnestly seek to avoid the real question at issue and to devote themselves to the technicalities of newspaper printing? "Mr.

Gaynor says the American does not print clearly. "I say that Mr. Gaynor does not answer clearly. Quick Answer Important. "And the really important thing Is for Mr.

Gaynor, mayor of New York, guar- Ldian of the people's property, to answer clearly and quickly. "Say your law partner paid the warrant, if you please, Mr. Gaynor; but at least explain why a warrant which the former administration held up. as exorbitant was paid by your administration without question and without investigation. "Was not Cohalan the intermediary between you and Charity Murphy and was he not largely instrumental in getting you the Tammany Hall nomina tion? "Was not CohaJan concerned in the attempt to steal for you the nomination of the Independence League, which piece of political porch-climbing Justice Gerard, an honest judge, effectually stopped? "Did not Comptroller Prendergast, after you had been seated as mayor, call your attention to the warrant for Cohalan's $48,000, which was in your office.

"Did not Comptroller Prendergast ex plain to yon what it was and tell you that iftyou would send the arrant tacic to him he would make a complete report on it and go to the bottom of tbe matter? "Did you not thank Comptroller Pren dergast and say that it was true that These lawyers in such cases were getting too much from the "Did you not then fail to send the warrant back to the comptroller and fail to ask for a report, but did you not on the contrary allow this padded fee to go through unquestioned on Janu-1 ary 4, 1910? "Stop talking about the date thai am BT REPLIES 10 CAIII'S IE not print and say a few words about the date that did print Says He is Indifferent. "To your blatherskite abuse I am in different, for in all such matters con sider the source and the natural irritation that a public official feels in being exposed. "A man or newspaper that seeks sin-cerly to serve the people and protect their rights and their property must al- ways expect the antagonism and abuse of the public official who is exposed and pilloried. "When, the San Francisco Examiner first attacked and exposed Mayor Schmitz in San Francisco that indignant Individual denounced he Examiner as a public enemy and had his tame board of supervisors pass resolutions condemning the paper and assailing me. "Still everybody knows today what happened to Schmitz.

And everybody today would rather nave Schmitz's abuse than his commendation. "When the New York Journal first attacked and first exposed District Attorney Jerome, that outraged prosecutor rushed Into print to denounoe the journal and to abuse and sue me. "Still, everybody knows what happened to Jerome and what happened to the libel suit, -and most people today would rather be sued by Jerome than praised by him. 1 "Now, I know perfectly well what is going to happen to you, Mr. Gaynor.

"The people are going eventually to -find you out and repudiate you, and tan both yon and your 'Thick "And even those newspapers that are now trucking and lickspiling to you in the hope of securing the city advertising will in. the end sacrifice thoee lucrative contracts for the priceless privilege of telling the truth about you." Answers For Mayor Gaynor. For the mayor, Robert Adamson, his private secretary, gave out the following statement, made before the mayor had seen Mr. Hearst's statement: "The mayor is not required to sign warrants at all. They are made out and signed by the comptroller, and then by the chief clerk of the mayor's office under authority of the charter.

Over such drafts are signed in a year, on some days over 1,100. The mayor has never signed one the (Cohalan) claim was for legal services in the franchise-tax suits. Several lawyers were paid, including Judge (Alton Parker. The wna niiriited and filed last Decem ber, after much evidence was taken, and thereby became a legal claim against the city. Mayor Gaynor never had anything to do with it." Former Comptroller Metz In his statement traces the' course of the warrant during his term of office from one city bureau to another, and then says: "About the last thing I heard before leavings was that Chamberlain Martin had refused to -sign the warrant when It reached and had returned it to the mayor's office, and this, of necessity, left it there until after the new administration took office." Comptroller Prendergast gave out a statement in advance of Mr.

Hearsfs. He said he felt that he ought not to recall the warrant out of courtesy, to his predecessor unless there was some excellent reason for so doing, but he decided to talk to tie mayor about it. lie called on the mayor on New Year's Day onii tnlrf him how matters stood- The statement continues: "He asked me why Mayor McClellan had taken the action which he did. I told him that I did not know the reasons. He then asked me what the warrant represented and I told him that my understanding was that it was for ser-rices in connection with disputed franchise tax cases.

"He then said to me, 'We must be very careful about passing large bills to -lawyers in these The mayor then said: 'If you had not told me about this I suppose that the matter would have gone right through in the ordinary "I said: 'I presume that is what would have "He then replied: 'ft is very nice of you to speak of this to me. What ought we to do about "I told him that if he wanted to return the warrant to the comptroller's office I would be very glad to make a report to him upon it," MISSIONARIES WERE EATEN BY CANNIBALS, o' Savages of the South Sea Are Indulging in Horrible Orgies.
