Bolstering Up Courage of

Those Who Are Opposing Robbins.

Publishers' PressJIndianapolis, March 25. Nothing

whatever was accompjished todpy inthe struggle for a settlement or dis-solution of the meetings of the min-ers and operators which have beenon now for a solid week. Indicationstonight are that the meetings willadjourn not later than Thursday andthat in some way a settlement Is go-

ing to be made. ,

How this will be done is h?rd totell. It may be made through furtherintervention by President Roosevelt.Certain it is that both operators andminers have expected interventionere this. A strike commission simi-lar to the anthracite commission ofthree years ago would be welcome bythe miners and by the operators too,if the latter could be assured that anaward could last five or six years.

May Ask Extension.There was a well-founde- d rumor to-

night that the miners would ask theanthracite operators for an extensionof sixty days in the present award sothat the first of April would not bringsuspension in mining in anthracitedistricts.

The most positive assertion madetcday is that the railroads are puttingup every effort to break the minersunion. They will try, too, until theydo It, so a prominent railroad officialsaid today. He came to snend theday talking with his friends amongthe operators and to Twister up theircourage against Rcbbins, who repre-sents the steel corporation.

Bailey's Good Work.The story of tho capture of Harris

and Locke reads like a chapter torn vfrom an "Old Sleuth" or a "Nick Carter" weekly. From the day the desperadoes made their escape at Ihepoint of their shot guns from Bailey,who was then a deputy sheriff, andhis posse, the littje police ctyef hasbeen untiring in his efforts to effect"a capture. About the first of March .

Bailey, learned that Locke and bisfamily and Harris weie In San Fran- -

the chief of police in San Francisco :

on March 9 but received ho responseto his .letter until yesterday, whenthe telegram announcing the arrestof the two men was received.

The report that the Pennsylvanialines has secured control of the Indi-

anapolis & Eastern and the Rich-

mond Street & Interurban Is regardedas the wildest sort of fabrication bylocal railroad and traction officials,who say they never heard of sucha move. It is said that the- - reportwas sent out from a Pennsylvaniabrokerage office, but there is nothingto show that this is true.

It has been known"

for severalweeks that the I. & E. and the R.. S.& I. have been absorbed by a largecorporation, along with many otherinterurban lines in the middle west,and that the D. & W. refused to sellto the concern. It Is possible thatthe Pennsylvania railroad was thecorporation back of that move, butthe idea is scouted by the local of-

ficials.
