«ian would furnish Davis with a dead
ly poison with which to take his own
life.
Mrs. Rice said that Dr. Riistln told
her that he had secured a man to kill
him and that she would not have r to
do the deed. She told of Dr. RUytln
calling up a drug store to secure aco
nite op the afternoon before his death

ARBITRATION.
IS DISCUSSED
American Mining Congress
Takes Up This Factor
of Industry
PITTSBURG. Pa., Dec. 4—Arbitra
tion was the theme at tonight’s ses
sion of the Amorlcan -Mining Con
gress.
President T. L. Lewis, of the United
Mlno Workers of America, m*d» the
opening address, taking the stand that
arbitration In which a third party or
outsider had to >bo utilized was unsat
isfactory and failed to bring about
permanent settlement, but that arbi
tration In which employer and em
ploye get together and between them
selves" adjust their differences did
more for the betterment of the mining
industry than any other agency.
A letter on arbitration from Judge
George Gray, of Delaware, was one oi
the interesting features of tonight’s
session.
Carroll D. Wright, president of
Clark College, Worcester, Mass., for
mer United States commissioner of
labor, prepared an address to be de
livered tonight but was unablo to be
present.. His address walk read, how

Charles City county Virginia, 17 miles

Dundreary, that there was nothing In the
portrayal he hiul not taken direct from

Of this walk It Is told that nt a rehear

fellow-actors, when Miss Keeno called

kept on. In the same spirit, h« Intro-
dueed the skip Into his entrance that
night, und found that It was an Instan
taneous success, bringing a tremendous
laugh for Dundrenry whore before there
had been only tolerance. Cautiously, ar-
tlstlrnlhi he proceeded to elaborate tho
part until, ns Jefferson magnanimously
snys, ’before the first month was over he
