"ALLEN | ENID BENNETT "KEEPING UP WITH ae LTH LZR LAST EDITION, MUST SETTLE | BOTH STRIKES Final Wanting to Rail And Coal | Forces. United States Government 'Ready to Act in a Dras- tic Manner. Washington, Aug. 7.--Unless the oming week brings substantial im- [provement in the coal and rail situ- tions, the administration is expect- pd to move promptly along the fol- lowing lines: Coal Strike--Take over the large ey mines in the unionized bitumin- pus flelds, place them under heavy military guard as a precaution gainst disorder, and call upon the miners, whether union or nonunion, to return t6 work as employees of he government pending the settle- ment of the strike. Rall Strike--Assume control roads, particularly those in the coal producing regions, whenever it be iomes apparent that as a result of the shopmen's strike they are unable p properly serve the public. ot Settlement Outlook Dubious, The administration faces the new eek with conditions far worse thau hey have been at any time since the win strikes began -and with pros- pects for settlement admittedly of- [fering little encouragement. In line ith its policy of exhausting every possible means of adjustment before resorting to drastic action, the gov- rnment, however, is willing to give both sides one more chance to ge! pgether. No steps will be' taken to deal th the coal situation until the op- fators and miners of the central gompetitive field have had an oppor- nity to make peace at their Cleve- nd conference tomorrow. In official ircles this conference 1s viewed th pessimism and it is not believed hat a sufficient number of operators 11 join the insurgents to make a parate and effective peace with je strikers. Plans for meeting the uation as soon as it becomes ap- pt that the conference has failod jave already been worked out by tie Mministration, it was stated upon the highest authority. The admin- istration s thoroughly in earnest hen it declares that it will permit nothing to stand in the way of a mufficlent coal supply for the nation this winter.

Ottawa, Aug. 7.--The department Df railways and canals has made pub- lic a statement as to the findings of [Henry Holgate, of Montreal, the en- neer appointed by the department © investigate the charges that the Dominion authorites were responsi for the shortage of Hydro power the Trent Valley district. In this [statement the findings of Mr, Hol- [gate are summarized as follolws:---= 1---That the cause of complaint 'was due to the Hydro-electric power committee's use at their Healy's Falls development of a quantity of water In excess of the inflow to the reach between Hastings and Healy's Falls. ,2--That the demands for power tceeded the capacity of the water Supply to produce it, and there was not sufficient foresight shown by the commission in the use of tho water---their operators knowing the flow at Nassau and the conditions lexistifg between Nassau and Healy's lls--both as increment and losses gue = to absorption and evaporation. 'That the officers of the canal ave done and are doing everything possible consistent with navigation requirements to facilitate the opera- tions of the commission, but cannot protect the commission against acts its own operators. The action of canal officers has plainly been interests of the power users and ithe public generally. . . H. W.

BRACKEN IN OFFICE ON TUESDAY NEXT But | « JUMPS FROM | PRISON N TRAIN Convict Make His Es cape Near ar Burwash. Shakes His Handcuffs And Shackles And Forces the Window Bar.

Winnipeg, Aug. 7.--Manitoba's new cabinet, headed by John Brack- |°®": en as Prime Minister, will take their | oaths of office on Tuesday, it was an- nounced by Mr. Bracken. The prem- ier-designate has received an official call from the lieutenant-governor to Owing to the crowded condition of the local penitentiary the convicts boarded a special train and left the station at Kingston Junction on Sat- urday afternoon at five o'clock. The cars had been specially barred in or- der to provide security for their transportation. Nevertheless, Griffith was able to shake his sMackles and handcuffs, and according to information receiv- el on Sunday forced a window bar and jumped off the moving train near St. Cloud, a small village north of Burwash, and about eighteen mil-. es northwest of Sudbury. Efforts were immediately made to apprehend the escaped prisoner. but before the train crew could be noti- fied to stop the train, he had been able to make good his escape and no trace of him could be found. Guard Sullivan was left at St. Cloud to se- cure local assistance to search for the convict, and all the police in the neighborhood were notified of the escape. It is believed that there will not be" much difficulty in securing Grif- fith. The country around St, Cloud is a typical mining district and as all the mining camps in the district will be warned to be on the lookout for him, it is thought that he will be taken very shortly, It is understood that Guard Sallie van has already organized search prepared by Tuesday. In the mean- time Mr. Bracken is preserving sil- ence as to the identitfof those who Sg CAUGHT WITH BOOSE; RAID ON CRUISER Two Other 'Men on the Boat Made Their Escape When Raiders Appear.

Cases Have been known where convicts have es- caped through lavatory windows of trains but this is believed to be ths first time that a man has released himself from his shackles and hand- cuffs, opened a window and tora away the bars without being detect- ed by guards close by.

A man and a woman be- lieved to be members of the gang, fled after they were questioned by customs men at the waterfront at Alexandria Bay. Charges lodged against Goldman were violating the national prohibi- tion act and failing to deliver a manifest of the eargo of the cruiser on its arrival from Canada. 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL.
