ATTORNEY v1NcENT.s ARGUMENT
There Can Be No Compromise Verdic
in the Luetgert Case.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct 1.-THE flood of
oratory continued in the Luetgert trial
to-day. and it will last for two days
longer. Attorney Phalen. for the de-
tense concluded hts address after
speaking two hours this morning, and
then Attorney Vincent began the closing
address in behalf Of the defendant The
main point of his argument day was
TO raise In the minds of the jury a doubt
as to whether Mrs. Luetgert is really
dead. He admitted that she had dis
appeared, but Insisted that It had not
been shown beyond all doubt that she
was dead. Having spent much time in
trying to create the doubt in the minds
or the jury. he Insisted that there should
be no half way measures In the YER
diet. IF Luetgert was guilty of this
crime he deserved all THAT the law could
mete out to him, but If The was not guilty
beyond all doubt he should be set free.
Mr.. Vincent insisted that the case was
not one for compromise verdict It
would not do to sentence the prisoner
to the pentcntinry because It was Just
possible that the woman might turn
up some day. If the jury believed that
there was any Likelihood of her turning
up at any later day. It was their bust-
ness to acNuft the prisoner now. Mr..
Vincent will speak all OF Tomorrow,

WANT TO rIELD TO THE MINERS.
The so-Caiicd Small Operators Are Preparing
TO Give 90 Cents n Ton.

P%ITTsBCRG. Pa. Aug. 30.-Thc smaller coal
operators OF the district are going ahead with
their plans to reopen their mines at the 69-cent
rate. as foretold in TIE Sun of Aug. %. a COM
mittec has been appointed to sound all the
mine owners who are supposed to be favorable
to tho plan. A meeting Of those interested will
be held tomorrow. These operators are gem
orally Kept going by tho Big 49," the firms
controlling the lake tradc,Hwho do not produce
all the coal they require. and therefore must
purchase from others. Should the small opcr-
Rtors carry out their present plan they can
hardly expect much trade from the Big 10. but
they believe they can keep their mines profit
ably employed and supply the local and other
markets.
The miners officials have already been con-
suited. but have given no definite reply. 1t is
possible that the miners officials may consent
TO tho plan OF the small operators. believing
that il they will pay the 69-cent rate the large
shippers may be forced To do the same.
and pay 90 cents II the plan is allowed to so
through by Ratchford.
CLEVELAND, o.. Aug. BOD. II. Hanna. son O
Senator NJ. A. Hanna. and active in the manage
ment of the firm of NJ. A. Hanna * Co.. said TO-
day,
until the coal strike is settled. no matter what
the other operators may do. j believe that the
other mines will soon be running. The opera.
tors have made three offers TO the strikers and
have done all that they could do; now they will
go ahead. We shall lake no part in the conten'
tions between operators and miners"

They Ask Brown University Trustees Hoe -
Accept His Resignation.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., Aug. 30.-The young
women graduates Of the Brown University
have prepared a petition to the Brown corpora-
ton, asking that that body decline to accept the
resignation of President Andrews. 1t Is said
that 80 per cent. of the graduates have already
signed the petition. The next meeting of tho
corporation is scheduled for Wednesday Of this
week, when DIR. Andrcws's resignation will be
taken up. II Congressman Walker attends.
which is considered likely, n very interesting
meeting will doubtless result. There Is no de-
NAL that the conservative members Of tho cor.
poration deplore the publicity Of the contro.
vcrsy into which the university has been drawn.
Others. however. are glad at the turn the mat
ter has taken and express themselves as will.
ing to face the situation in an uncompromisinS
spirit.
They say that sooner or later there would
have to be an open outbreak between DR.. An
drcws and the corporation, and il is just as well
that il has come at this time. Few look for .
compromise.
Dr.. .Andrcws's recent magazine article. in
which he advocated u now college curriculum
practically severed the last link connecting him
with the university. IL is unlikely that q sue
CossOr to DIR. Andrews Will be appointed at this
meeting. and it would not be surprising II the
whole matter would be referred TO a commit:
tee. II is not expected that Dr. Andrews Will
continue his relations with the university pend'
ing action on his resignation. Prof. }. h. APP
pleton may be selected as acting President,
