Washington, Oct. 3. President
Roosevelt's dramatic effort to end the
coal strike and relieve the famine by
bringing moral suasion to bear on the
coal operators and strikers in behalf
of an amicable agreement came to a
disastrous end at 5 oiclock this even
ing. Tonight the coal operators are
asleep in private cars in the railroad
yard, after spending the evening in the
interchange of views as to the proceed
ings of the day and saying things about
the president, which, while good natur
ed, could not by any stretch of imagin
ation be regarded as flattering.
In another part of town Mitchell and
his lieutenants are saying to their
friends that they felt all the time that
the president's characteristic act was a
mere flash in the pan and would all
end in a sharp crack and lots of smoke.
The operators, with the exception of
Baer, will be back in New York tomor
row and Mitchell will have left for
Buffalo.
. Both sides so far as learned tonight
are more than ever determined to keep
up the fight. The operators do not hes
itate to say they regard as a grand
stand play the president's interference
in a situation that in no wise concern-

it is not at all sure 'that this is the
resident's view of the case. Plainly ;
his sympathies are with the strikers
and he makes no concealment of his
belief that the coal famine is due in
large measure 'to mismanagement on
the part of the operators, who he
thinks have lined their pockets at the
expense of the people. -
The president believes the people of
the country will back him up in his
attempt to force the operators to work
the mines. fHe professes not to be
afraid of the chanees of his political de
feat. It is thought Roosevelt -will not be
long in making up his mind to take
some determined action. After learn
ing the sentiment of the people with re
lation to the proceedings today he is
exDected to make some move in the di
rection of carrying out his implied
nromise to the people, to see to it ithat
the imining of coai shall be resumed
and the famine ended. All wasnrag
ton is waiting with baited breath to see
what 'the president will do next.
THE PRESIDENT'S APPEAL.
At ten minutes after 11 o'clock the
two delegations invited to . meet the
president were escorted up etairs, the
labor leaders going, first. Attorney
General Knox and Commissioner
Wrierht remained with" the president
.When the president concluded the
readme of his statement, he said he did
not expect that either party would be
ready to extfbmit "' propositions at this
time, but he asked them to take under
consideration what he had said and to
return at 3 o'clock. He said he hoped
that some proposition might be pre
sented at that time, which would fur
nish the basis of an adjustment.
President Roosevelt fully realizing
thf imnortance of the conference, offer
ed a carefully worded paper setting
forth in detail his position on the pend
ing controversy. The president said:
"I wish to call your attention to the
fact that there are three parties affect
ed by the situation in the anthracite
trade :
"The operators, the miners and the
general public.

He said the coal presidents understood

Mitchell's offer of the morning to arbi-
i trate. He was willing to refer differ-
enc&s which the operators and employ
es failed to adjust to a court of com
mon plea in ithe districts where such
differences arose.
President Mitchell followed with a
statement signed by himself and the
district presidents reiterating a willing
ness to submit differences to a tribunal
of arbitration of the president's own
selection.

though Bingham was greatly inerior
in weight to the visiting team.
The game was called at 4 o'clock and
15 minutes long. Purman had the first MAKi N BUTLER'S BROTHER
kick-off. Bingham advanced to the ball
slowly, and finally it passed to Fur
man. After much line bucking and
end running, Lawrence, Furman's left
end, carried it over the line for a
touch down; King, Firman's right
guard kicking the goal. This put the
score at six to nothing in
favor.
Then Bingham kicked off. Furman
secured the ball and principally by end
runs carried it down the field for anoth
er touch down, the score raised 12 to
0. Furman then kicked and the ball
was inplay when time was called for
the end of the half.
The second half was opened by Bing
ham kicking off, but they played much
better than in the first half and soon
secured the ball. No touch down was
made during this half and the playing
was excellent. The stars for Furman
were Scaife, Sharp, Gentry and Stal

the miners.
The president then asked the opera
