Among the important questions that the president and his prime minister will discuss is the proposed transfer of the Panama canal from the jurisdiction of the war to that of the state department. If Mr. Root will assume the additional work and responsibility th.it such a transfer will involve, it is believed that President Roosevelt will be glad to order the change, and Secretary Taft has Indicated that he would be pleased to relinquish the canal on the ground that he has more than his hands full now with the administration of the army and the Philippines.

'Until then 1 shall not discuss the matter." gan Frightened Jlini by Asked what he thought of the action of Governor Hlgglns in recommending a legislative Investigation of the insurance companies, Paul Morton repliedShootlng. Unfairness. An attempt was made this morning about 2 o'clock by a would-be burglar to force an entrance to the home of Mrs. Thomas Dorgan, on William St. Tfce man, who was alone, was working on the rear of the house, and was discovered owing to a mishap he had, being seared away before he succeeded in securing an entrance. Mrs. Dorgan, who lives at 157 William street, was aroused about 2 o'clock this morning by a sound of breaking glass. She arose without making any noise and went to aj-ear window, through which she lookeu. She saw below her the form of a man, who was working at one of the windows. Mrs. Dorgan .returned to her room and secured . a loaded revolver, which she fired once in the air. The report came like a thunderbolt to the man. who had been trying to force an entrance and he turned and lied precipitately. He ran first down William street' as far i|s the Kelly house and then turned down a side street. M." J. O'Malley, of the Wllkesbarre Times, was returning to his boarding place on William street, when the man almost collided with him. O'Malley did not know of the trouble and made no attempt to stop the stranger. When he reached a point farther up the street he saw- Mrs. Dorgan on the porch and she related the circumstances. It was found on examination that the burglar had commenced to cut the glass out of one of the windows, so that he would have easy access to the lock of the window. It was evident that while he was working he accidentally ran his hand through a nearby pane of glass. This was the means of awakening Mrs. Dorgan. , In the district convention of tho United Mine Workers, in Dunmorc, this morning, there wan a rather lively war of words between several of the njembers, which was in danger of loading to something more serious. It Feoms that there* whs unfler consider* . htinn a resolution offered by local 1,004, of Providence, Scranton; the effect of Which was to modify the assessments for aged Members. There art- vrtiployed at various minor jobs Ab'out the. coiil "breakers a large number of aged pi elf, formerly miners earning good wages, whose best days are now gone and tvko do not at p'res-eyt earn more than boys. These men are required to pay the same assessment tC\ tht» urtl'ori as other adult members. anCKi|here has been a feeling for'.some tlnie among certain members of the union in favor of heljMng them, To tills end the local mentioned sibitve introduced a resolution Cutting down the assessment fees of these men to the same amount as that cb.VKed breaker boys. When the matter came_up this morning President NlcHoTIs ruled the resolution out of order, and gave his-reasons for his action, tie said that the assessments were fixed by the national constitution and co.uld not be changed by the district unldn. The resolution, therefore! Was in cpnflict with the constitution and could no*- be considered' by the convention. »' At this point, Delegate Fitzpatrlek, of Durtmore, arose and accused-the iu'fcsldent of dealing unfairly, yfth the supporters of the resolution! He was angry and his remarks were calculated to stir up trouble. National Hoard Member John Fallon, of Wilkesbarre. took up the battle in (lefeiute; of President yicb»?lK and a'war of words ensued between the two mwi that'turned the convention Into an uproar. 'Ehe whole sUbjedt was finally latd o.n the table. Vanderbilts Subscribed. "I do not object at all to an official investigation of the life insurance companies.

Among the important questions that the president and his prime minister will discuss is the proposed transfer of the Panama canal from the jurisdiction of the war to that of the state department. If Mr. Root will assume the additional work and responsibility th.it such a transfer will involve, it is believed that President Roosevelt will be glad to order the change, and Secretary Taft has Indicated that he would be pleased to relinquish the canal on the ground that he has more than his hands full now with the administration of the army and the Philippines.

Unfairness. An attempt was made this morning about 2 o'clock by a would-be burglar to force an entrance to the home of Mrs. Thomas Dorgan, on William St. Tfce man, who was alone, was working on the rear of the house, and was discovered owing to a mishap he had, being seared away before he succeeded in securing an entrance. Mrs. Dorgan, who lives at 157 William street, was aroused about 2 o'clock this morning by a sound of breaking glass. She arose without making any noise and went to aj-ear window, through which she lookeu. She saw below her the form of a man, who was working at one of the windows. Mrs. Dorgan .returned to her room and secured . a loaded revolver, which she fired once in the air. The report came like a thunderbolt to the man. who had been trying to force an entrance and he turned and lied precipitately. He ran first down William street' as far i|s the Kelly house and then turned down a side street. M." J. O'Malley, of the Wllkesbarre Times, was returning to his boarding place on William street, when the man almost collided with him. O'Malley did not know of the trouble and made no attempt to stop the stranger. When he reached a point farther up the street he saw- Mrs. Dorgan on the porch and she related the circumstances. It was found on examination that the burglar had commenced to cut the glass out of one of the windows, so that he would have easy access to the lock of the window. It was evident that while he was working he accidentally ran his hand through a nearby pane of glass. This was the means of awakening Mrs. Dorgan. , In the district convention of tho United Mine Workers, in Dunmorc, this morning, there wan a rather lively war of words between several of the njembers, which was in danger of loading to something more serious. It Feoms that there* whs unfler consider* . htinn a resolution offered by local 1,004, of Providence, Scranton; the effect of Which was to modify the assessments for aged Members. There art- vrtiployed at various minor jobs Ab'out the. coiil "breakers a large number of aged pi elf, formerly miners earning good wages, whose best days are now gone and tvko do not at p'res-eyt earn more than boys. These men are required to pay the same assessment tC\ tht» urtl'ori as other adult members. anCKi|here has been a feeling for'.some tlnie among certain members of the union in favor of heljMng them, To tills end the local mentioned sibitve introduced a resolution Cutting down the assessment fees of these men to the same amount as that cb.VKed breaker boys. When the matter came_up this morning President NlcHoTIs ruled the resolution out of order, and gave his-reasons for his action, tie said that the assessments were fixed by the national constitution and co.uld not be changed by the district unldn. The resolution, therefore! Was in cpnflict with the constitution and could no*- be considered' by the convention. »' At this point, Delegate Fitzpatrlek, of Durtmore, arose and accused-the iu'fcsldent of dealing unfairly, yfth the supporters of the resolution! He was angry and his remarks were calculated to stir up trouble. National Hoard Member John Fallon, of Wilkesbarre. took up the battle in (lefeiute; of President yicb»?lK and a'war of words ensued between the two mwi that'turned the convention Into an uproar. 'Ehe whole sUbjedt was finally latd o.n the table. Vanderbilts Subscribed. "I do not object at all to an official investigation of the life insurance companies.
