murder he is being tried. An immense
crowd gathered around the criminal
court building long before the burIv
defendants case was called, but warn

only those to enter who had tickets Of

After relating the story of the varf-
Gus financial deals in which he was in

the time he was first engaged in bust

CERT replied in the affirmative
Il was married to Miss Pauline
Ruelke in 1872 said the defendant.
How do you spell that name?"
ooh, I don't know. I never could
spell it," was Luetgert's reply.
Attorney Harmon, Of counsel for the
defense, then went into Luetgert's
financial affairs at the time of Mrs.
Louise Luetgert's disappearance. and
drew out the statement that Luetger,
was worth about 500, 900, exclusive of
real estate.

more joint ballots today in an unavaiE-

voted for the latter went to Maj Shaw,

Able to Accomplish Much.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-After waiting
upon the scale committee since Tues
day, the delegates to the interstate
joint conference of bituminous coal on
orators and miners of Pennsylvania
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois and miners
OF West Virginia received a very I'M
Satisfactory report. 1t was presented
at this afternoons session and en-
podled these propositions The adop-
tlon or the mine run Or gross weight
system and the uniformity of hours of
labor. No mention Of an advance in
wages was made. The operators Of
ONO, Pennsylvania and Indiana had
Iought the adoption Of a mine run sys-
tenn from the start and the votes TAX
en- IN committee, as reported to the
convention, showed that they had stood
as unit in opposition to the plan.
Inc report was accepted by the con-
Fentlon, and its consideration seri-
alum was recommended. But it quick
~ became apparent that nc progress
could be made under the rules govern
Ing the convention, which require a.
IuII afhrmative vote to carry anv
proposition. Finally the convention
was resolved into a committee of the
Whole, and the first proposition en-
pooled IN the repOrt-the mine run
system-Which is now being used in
lIllno1s-Was discussed under the five
minute rule. Operators and miners of
Illinois and miners from all the other
states favored the plan; but the op-
orators of Pennsylvania, Ohio and In
diana refused to consider the change.
Finally vote was taken on the mo-
ton to adopt mine run and resulted:
Yeas "a; nays II. This vote, the chair
ruled was defeat for the motion.
President Ratchford. in Speaking Of
the motion, made the remark that the
miners would demand an increase of
!o cents. He said he had suggested
10 the scale committee and would SUD-
port In convention, if it became nee
essary, a measure for the adoption of
a double standard, whereby either
the mine run or screen system could
be used, at the option of the operators

workers, also recommended this plan.

pennsylvania, presented a resolution
embodying the adoption of a uniform
screen IN the competitive field, of IL

cussed at length. Several amendments
thereto were defeated and the motion
went over. 1t is quite evident that 1t
cannot be put through, as a single OBJ

How the parliamentary tangle into
which the convention has been drawn
will end is a matter of much specula-
ton. II the proceedings this after
noon and evening are any criterion

Dolan. leader Of the miners in the
