Willcix resumed his cross-examination of Mr. Mitchell. He put In evidence extracts from the proceedings of the Shamokin convention which formulated the demands which caused the late strike, a copy, of the United Mine Workers' Journal, the official organ of the union, and a voluminous copy -of the Federationtat, the official publication of the-. American federation of What Aro Deceat Wages. Mr.

Mitchell, answering further questions, said he regarded as Jiving wages for a miner not less than $600 per annum, which would ccver his actual necessities and permit him to 'educate his children. At this point Judge Gray asked the witness if he meant to say a wage sufficient to permit the children to avail themselves of public schools or to spend a pertion of the family income directly for education and sufficient to render It mnnecessary to employ child labor to increase the income of the-family. The witness answerd in the affirmative. On the" question of the minimum age at which -a boy should go to he breaker, Mr. Mitchell said he advocated that It be put at fourteen years.

National Grans; an Advocate of Cooperation. vr LANSING, Nov. 15 "fhe report of the executive committee was made to the national grange shortly afternoon today. It -deals principally with the trust question; also notes with satisfaction the defeat of the ship subsidy bill, the passage of legislation providing for the irrigation of Western lands and the enactment of the oleomargarine law by congress.

The report says it is not the intention! to denounce trusts, for the committee1 believe in co-operation and the uniting of forces for the common good of all. It favors combined Interests that would reduce the cost of the necessities of life. But it is unalterably opposed to every combination that asks congress for special legislation that will give them a monopoly of the market order to control prices. As a remedy the committee suggestes federal legislation compelling corporations doing business in several states to conduct it on uniform terms.

It became known today that the New Tork Central railroad recently Increased the wages of 15,000 men in its employ by from 8 to 13 per cent. The Increase adds nearly $1,000,000 a year to the pay rolls.

JOE CANNON IS HIS CHOICE OTHER BADGER STATE, MEMBERS FALL IN L.IXE. Will Give United Snpport to the Teteran From Illinois Har- jaay In West Essential' to Success.

MILWAUKEE. Nov. 15. The Wisconsin republican delegation to the Fifty-eighth-congress decided this afternoon to support the candidacy of Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois for the speakership.

This action was taken after 'the delegation had unanimously offered Its earnest to Joseph W. Wv Babcftck of the Third district of Wisconsin.1 Mr. Babcock, however, declined to be a candidate and advocated unanimous support of Mr. Cannon. Mr.

Babcock addressed the delegation as follows: I Want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for; your kind and cordial support. "The speaker of the Fifty-eighth congress should. In view of the-present environments, be selected with peculiar care and with serious regard for party He should be chosen without incurring obligations that might weaken the organization of the house; so that he would be free to use his best Judgment to make the organization the strongest possible, to the end that public measures may be considered' without prejudice and to the end that the greatest good may be accomplished for the greatest number. "While I appreciate the great honor you have conferred upon me and the great compliment to me and to our state involved in the offer of Bupport, I believe that I should consider this subject in an absolutely impersonal way, laying aside all merely personal "My time, as you know, has been for the success of the republican party and republican principles by the election of a republican' house of representatives. We have elected a republican house by a majority of thirty, according to the latest reports.

Harmony ln the Ranks. "The first and most Important thing to he considered is a harmonious organ-, ization, one that will bring to the speaker all the elements of strength in the party. The east has several dis-1 tingulshed gentlemen whose names have been mentioned for speaker, nie west, perhaps, has but one announced candidate, the Hon. Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois, the' veteran leader of the house, ripe in experience, courageous, wise and above reproach, whose highest ambition would be to faithfully promote the success of republican prin ciples, to give due heed to public sen timent of the great questions that con front and that are likely to bsvi considered, and to? maintain that cooperation of jthe house with' the senate so necessary to wise 'and careul legislation.

"If I should enter the field as a candidate It would be a long drawn out contest, that might leave scars that would in the end prevent that harmony of organization which in the public interest should be preserved, especially in the We' must not forget that our first duty is to the people and that we must give President Roosevelt's administration a strong and united support, "and while I assure you that I gratefully aopreciate your kind tender of support, I am constrained to believe that tie best interests of the northwest, the whole country and the republican party, all things considered, Is that' the west should present but one candidate for the high office. "After considering the subject from all standpoints, including those which I have I have concluded not to enter the list of cadidates for the speakership." Mr. Babcock called attention, among other things, to the fact that he had five times been selected as chairman of the republican congressional campaign committee, and added that he had not allowed himself to forget that all the political power and influence incident to this position were placed in his hands ln trust for the benefit of the party. Remembering this he has been reluctant, notwithstanding flattering offers of support, to "allow myself to be numbered among the candidates for that office lest some might attribute a portion of my support to the political leadership which for the time I have held. It Is not enough for me to know that such-an imputation would be unjust.

It is enough for me to know that it might to many seem Just." WOCLD MINIMIZE THE DANGER. Col. Myron T. Herrlchvla Favor of Enertesrr Camscr, CLEVELAND, Nov. 15.

CoL Myron T. Herrick, retiring president of the American bankers' association returned heme from New Orleans today. He said: "It was evident that the majority of those attending the convention were against branch banking and asset Currency. It was also evident that the convention was in favor of more elastic and emergency In my opinion the bankers as a class favor, in the interest of emergency currency, an expansion of the present bond system, so as to include state and mantel pal bonds. "The wants for so-called emergency currency are so.

well known in the finacial world that our effort need -only be made 'in finding it. Among the many plans suggested the one that appears to me the most advisable to bdvocate, especially when considering our present system of paper currency, is that the government should be placed in a position whereby it may Issue emergency currency upon the deposit of state, county and municipal, bonds. "For such currency a liberal rate of Interest should be charged, not under 5 or perhaps 6 per cent Possibly this rate should not be definitely fixed by legislation, but arranged from time to time as the exigency might demand by the1 secretary of the treasury and "the comptroller of the currency or the board at- Washington of -which they would be members. "On ah economic basis so-called asset or credit currency would probably be the best, but our people are educated, to the use of the present secured currency, partial to it also from past experience and it is doubtful whether we could change them to another form, even if It were attempted. The present mode I consider the min easily attainable with possible chances of securing needed legislation before another financial depression.

It was mud ball but the playing was so good. and the competition so keen that the men slipped about In each other's grasps like eels, few bad plays were made, and not a fluke occurred. The scores of the game are to Cortelyou and Bender.

Within two minutes after the klckoff, Nebraska on a punt on third down sent the leather, rolling past the Knox backs and be- -hind her Speedy Cortelyou covered half the length of the field to be there- and Zalusky dropped on It behind his goal with Cortelyou on top ot him, It counted two for the cornhusk-era. At about the middle of the first half, after line work, the ball went over again; this, time in Bender's hands. When Ringer kicked, it htt the goal post and the score was as high as. it-was to, mount. Knox was able to hold Nebraska-at critical times after that and largely by the weight of her.

line. It was hard wprk for offensive players on the boggy -field and, Nebraska had the ball the greater share of the time. Th crowd was verv laree consider grand Was crowded, the east having a small contingent of rooters. The attendance was. almost 2,000.

The first BnoW of the season signalized tha game, being preceded by a chilly driz- -zle that made the spectators shiver. Nebraska supporters and players alike did not mind the climate in view of the outcome and- the electric sign on other victory and shutout for the position. What Boqth rniu)i Tinrith oalrl the came Was) a good exhibition, of elementary football. It clearly showed which team was best grounded in The condition of the field was such as to make any frills impossible. The Nebraska men proved expert in.

keeping, the ball, no fumbles being scored against them, and in all work where they took the ball down the field, it remained in Nebraska's possession. Other work regarded as a foundation of all foot-, ball showed Nebraska superior to Knox. "It was about as slippery a field for a game as I ever saw," said Mr. Booth. "On a dry field, of course, both teams would have shown to better advantage but Nebraska would have profited most I believe." Nebraska Is Stroma-.

The condition of the field is reapon- sible for the small score. Twice during the game additional touchdowns might have been made had the field been dry. As it was the Nebraska-men were held In -a. very manner by the visitors. Near the end the ball was within six Inches of the- -Knox e-oal when- Nebraska was held for downs.

Time was called within a-few moments and prevented a score. General regret is expressed that- the game could not have been played In good weather. Just at this time it would be gratifying? to Nebraska sup-'. porters to see their team give the limit to a strong opposing eleven. ball men of the east before the gam said Nebraska would show where sha Is' to be placed in western football calculations by this game.

It was --festly apparent, that the corntiuskers were stronger yesterday than the Score indicates. The victory of -Minnesota over Wisconsin by so decisive a score as 11 to made the Nebraska-. feel especial-," Iy pleased.

Knox frequently played on the defensive guards -back and on the offensive resorted to straight line bucks and end runs more often than to mass plays.

Be BUrer Tell Police! Intentions, i BRUSSELS, Nov. 15. Three shots were fired at the king: of the? Belgians this morning as he was proceeding to the cathedral to attend a te-deura in memory Of 'the late Queen Mrie Hen-riettta. No one was hurt. .1 The man who fired the shot is an Italian.

He stood in front of thei Bank of Brussels, the Rue Koyale. sThe otlt-' er chambers in his revolver proved to be blanks, and it is presumed that those fired were equally harmless. 1 The man was immediately! arrested and the police had some diffeculty In rescuing him from the -hands of the crawd. He gave the name of Rubino. The royal cortege consisted of several carriages besides that of the king, containing the Count and Countess of Flanders, Prince -and' Princess of Flanders, Princess Clementine and aides-de-camp and ladies, of honor.

When rescued from the fcnob Rubino was placed in a cab and lnfurl-- ated crowds of people Immediately surrounded and attacked the, vehicle with knives and sticks.

The police had great difficulty in forcing a way tos the police station through the crowd, which shouted alternately "Kill h)m" and "Long live the The fcab was badly hacked with knives? I '-J A search the, prisoner Revealed a package of balKeartridges. heard to express anarchist opinions and It Was also said that ram l-r. TJrin. eels from London expressly I to kill King Leopold and went to the cathedral today for this' The news of the outrage spread rapidly throughout the city and the greatest excitement prevailed. Th people thronged the streets, eagerly discussing the attempt on the life of the king, and large crowds gathered in front ot the various bulletin boards.

The jnewspa-pers issued frequent editions and thes were eagerly bought. General, abhorrence was expressed by the people at the. apparently deliberate attempt to assassinate the sovereign. King Leopold appeared to be quite unmoved by the attempt of Rubino to kill him. After luncheon at the palace his majesty entered a mjjtOr car" and proceeded to the railroad! station, where he boarded a train bound for Greenendall.

Fulljr Intended to Kill. That Rubino intended to kill King Leopold seemed ulry established this evening by the prisoner's confession to the police. The latter at first denied all the reports to the effect that the revolver contained ball cartridges or that Rubino was connected with anarchism, but they finally admitted that the prisoner had confessed that he intended to shoot King 'Leopold and that he held anarchist beliefs. The self-confessed would-be iregicide Is a small, bald-headed man, with a heavy black moustache. Be! maintained perfect calm during his iinterro-gation by the police.

He informed them that he came from London, where he went on a futile search 'fori work. There he obtained assistance from the Italian embassy, and was temporarily engaged to watch anarchists. He was dismissed, however, as the embassy officials discovered that he sympathized with the anarchists. It was then that he bought a revolver and cartridges and came to Brussels. Failing to- find work Rubino said he "determined to act" and went to ihe cathedral with the Intention of shooting the king.

he did not fire at his majesty for fear of hitting 'intervening soldiers. Then. Rubino proceeded to the- Rue IRoy ate, where he awaited the cortege. The royal carriage containing the king passed before Rubino was able to draw his revolver hence the shots -only hit the carriage following. In Rubino's pockets were found picture -post cards bearing portraits of King Leopold, Prince Albert and Princess Elisabeth.

The prisoner said he procured he cards so as to be able to recognise the members of the royal family, and expressed the hope that others would be more successful than he. He also that he did not regret Iiis act and would have -fired at any monarch, "at the king -of Italy as readily as at the king of. the Belgians, because monarchs are tryants who causa the misery of their Finally Rubino declared he hated So cialists, Because idcjt were inenas the police, and asserted that he had no accomplices. The police tonight are- engaged -fat scouring the anarchist resorts here In a search for possible accomplices -of Rubino. One arrest has already been made of a noted Belgian" anarchist named Chapelie.

Many ether arrests will probably follow. Several persons who were, near to Rubino when he fired the revolver assert that he was accompanied by aa-. ether man who escaped among the crowd. It Is thought possible that this individual was an accomplice who carried off the revolver which has not yet been found. Rubino, who has a wife and child In London continues to affect a profound Indifference as to his fate which cannot be death since the capital punishment has been abolished Berlin.

Effort to Prove That Increase la Wages Woald Eventually Fall at Coasamers Xo Better Off Than Miners. SCRANTON. Nov. 15. President Mitchell of the united mine-yorkers union "occupied the witness stand thrpughout both session of the coal strike commission today, "or four hours and a half he took the cross fire of two of the brilliant attorneys of the coal companies and ended the day with few scars as result of tlfe battle.

David Willcox of New Tork, general counsel of (the Delaware A Hudson company and Wayne MacVeigh of Philadelphia, who is representing the Pennsylvania Coal company and, the Hillside Coal company, were the, principal questioners and they put hundreds questions to Mr. Mitchell. The afternoon session was the more Intersting. Mr. MacVeigh's cross-examination was as a rule very keen, and while he assured Mr.

Mitchell that he was not radically opposed to him, 'he did not miss an opportunity to place Mr. Mitchell's reasons tor better conditions In the anthraia diu i light before the commission. When he began his pn.T3iniiiinn Mitchell at noon he Informed him that he was not opposed to properly organ- What Advance Weill Mean. He took up the demands of the miners sedlatim. He questioned Mr.

Mitchell on the demands for increase In wages and presses him hard when he asked him If he cared to carry the responsibility of Increasing the living expenses of the great mass of our people or the eastern states who would ultimately have to carry the burden if the demands of the miners for higher wages granted. Mr. Mitchell's i-la was that the miners could, not assume the responsibility, as it was a situation over which he had mosrML Mr- MaVelgh made the Ifn opportunity and then took UJJ fOUrth mand of the men for which practically he union. He asked Mr. Mitchell what sort of a eon- W.uLd draw and latter replied that he would favor an agree- thenLUtilned ln ufestions to the commission yesterday.

After going over the demands of the miner Mr ieu iuok UD tne con- IIS -the comPanies he represented 85w the conditions spoken of by Mr. Hitchcock were not by Investigation. He took Forest City, where the mines of the comnanv nn nntt "iz- and produced photographs of houses in tha tAWn 1 ccuu ttiHu reierrea to the large deposits of money In the local bank to show the prosperous condition of the community. Mitchell, although not admitting- that the conditions as presented by Mr. MacVeagh were true, said he COUld not.

tnr Iwf lr rt the community, deny his Verbal Sparrina; Match. The constitution of the united mine-' workers of America was also taken up by the, lawyer, and he and Mr. Mitchell several times sparred for garding the references contained in it io an eigni-nour day. Mr. MacVeagh contended that no one had the right to deny a man the privilege of working more than eight hours a day if he so desired He said hot one memhor of the commission would be occupying iiis present mgn piace if he had limited nis own tabors to eight hours a day.

With reference to this argument Mr. Mitchell thought it was not fair- to compare the mine-workers with the arbitrators. Mr. MacVeagh said he himself started out ln life by working fourteen hours a day on a farmland for more than forty years he had worked more than ten hours a day. To the direct question of whether he as president of the union had a right to curtail the hours of employment each day of the-' miners.

Mr. Mitchell said he thought he had, and made; an explanation by saying that if one miner worked more than eight hours a day it would probably result in the other men being compelled to work the same number of hours. During Mr. Mitchell'a examination by Mr. Willcox the fact was brought out that if the 'increase in wages was granted it would increase' the -expenses of the companies bout twelve millions a year.

In regard to child labor Mr, Mitchell said he was in favor of a state law which would make the minimum age for a boy to go to work at the collieries fourteen instead of twelve. The attention of Mr. Mitchell was directed to the demand that the operators should make an agreement with the united mine-workers, and Mr. MacVeagh asked if he had prepared a draft of such agreement which he would have the commission compel them to execute. Mr.

Mitchell replied that he had suggested In his opening-address to the commission a form that would be practicable and acceptable to all interests in the anthracite field. Mr. MacVeagh declared that there was nothing in Mr. Mitchell's suggestions that the companies must enter into partnership with the united mine-workers, and inquired if that was one of the Jpiiners' demands. Mr.

'Mitchell answered that it was. whereupon Mr. MacVeagh said his company was endeavoring to ascertain and would continue to ascertain what reasons there were for attempting to compel them to enter into that argreement It is expected that all of next week will be taken up by the miners in presenting their case. The same great array of lawyers was present today. It is possible that Mr.

Mitchell wiU be on the stand for several days next week. Commission Makes Rating. Immediately after the opening of the morning session, Chairman Gray, for the -commission, addressed John T. Lenahan, one of the attorneys for the non-union men. At yesterday's session Mr.

Lenahan said he represented the non-union men who worked during the 'strike and wanted to know what their status would- be before the commission. Judge Gray said the commission could -not give a decision until It had carefully considered the matter and -'promised some sort of an "answer today. This morning the chairman said: "The commission has considered the matter of your application and have decided that it will ask you to submit to Fifty Tkntui British and Americans to Visit Delhi. LONDON, Nov. is The excitement over the Indian durbar continues.

Jt Is estimated that nearly 50,000 British and Americans will visit Delhi for the occasion. The enormous prices charged, however, have caused many people to abandon the idea of i being present. It will cost two persons with two servants $3,000 in traveling expenses alone. The eost of the stay of visitors at Delhi cannot be fully estimated. The hotels there are already charging eight times their usual tariff and the available houses of the town have all been quickly hired at from $30,000 to $45,000 a piece.

The Indian princes are sparing no expense in taking steps to return the hospitality, iwhich was extended to them in England at the time of the coronation. Owing to the scarcity of houses some rude huts have been built among the camps and though they will only contain fire places and a few simple comforts extravagant prices are demanded! for them. They will be of three classes. The first will cost $100 daily for board and lodging for each person and $100 will be charged daily for. carriage service.

Some of the travelers are taking their own carriages and horses. 4 The most envied of the Americans going hence to the 4 durbar is Mrs. Adair, who-starts-at the end of the month. She will be-rLord Kitchener's STuest and will actras his hostess in entertaining a very1 large party in vited by the' rBHflsTk general. Mrs.

Adair Is taking a large number of her own servants, including her chef. After the durbar Mrs. Adair will visit Lord Curzon of Kedlestonei the viceroy and Lady Curzon. Another American who will take a prominent part in the durbar Is Mrs. "Jack Leslie, whose husband has Just been appointed on the staff of the duke of Connaught, who will represent King Edward at the Indian ceremonies.
