Not a Pound of Coal Produced Except
at Panther Greek.
PoTTsvITLE, Pa, Oct. 8.-Interest in
the great anthracite coal strike through,
out the lower coal belt revolves entirely
around the proposed convention of miners.
President Mitchell says the matter OF
going back will be left entirely to the
delegates elected to the miners conven.
ton, but 1t is admitted that this gather.
Ing, like that of the United Mine work.
ers in the present strike, will act abso.
lutely according to his advice and that
of his subordinates.
Beginning with today, for the first
time since the opening of the strike, not
pound of coal will be mined in the en-.
tire lower anthracite belt, except in the
Panther Greek valley, where the EN-.
ployes of the ten collieries belonging tC
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation com.
pany have resisted the efforts Of the labor
leaders to bring them out.
There are still reports that the strike
was started for political purposes. and
Mr. Mitchell discussing these reports
last night said:
'The coal companies have shot shafts
at me alleging that the strike was Ia
the interest Of political parties and the
bituminous regions. | hope that no one
will believe such charges. You will &c
on digging coal, it don't matter what
political party controls the. governments
The charge IS absolutely untrue.

MURDER AND FRAUD
REVEALED IN CHICAGO
Three Men Charged With Con-
spring to Swindle.
TWO ARE UNDER ARREST

Attempt to Defraud Insurance Conn
panies Results In the Death of a
Woman - Investigation Brings tho
Plot to Light.
CHICAGO, Oct. 8.-The prosecuting au-
thorities of Cook county last night laid
hands on what they regard as one of the
most startling crimes of the country s his
tory. Charges of conspiracy, back of
which are allied insinuations Of murder,
are lodged against three men, two Of
whom are already in custody.
According to the theory on which the
prosecution will proceed, the dead per-
son, a young woman of Chicago, was
originally one Of the quartet of conspi-
rators. She had expected that her death
was to be felgned, and that another dead
body was to play the passive role of her
corpse; instead of that, real death came
to her. The person whose death adds
new phase to what otherwise would
have been a simple insurance swindle,
was Marie Defenbach, 20 years old, and
the two persons arrested upon bench
warrants issued by Judge Gibbons, are
DR.. August NJ. Unger and Frank H.
Smiley.
A third person for whom a warrant
has been issued has not yet been ar
rested.
When Marie Defenbach died there
were three insurance policies on her life,
aggregating 1000, all of recent date.
Last April Miss Defenbach applied to
the New York Life Insurance company
for $4,000 policy. This was refused
and later one for $4,000 was taken. On
or about Aug. 10 last she also secured in
the Canadian Order Of Foresters insur-
ance to the amount of $1,000 and $4,000
in the knights and Ladies Of Honor.
Two weeks afterward she was dead,
leaving a will, which directed that
part of these insurance policies should
be paid to Frank H. Smiley, her ''af-
fanced husband" and that her body be
cremated.
Without much delay proceedings were
begun to recover the value Of the insur-
ance policies she had left. This was
resisted by the insurance companies
with the result that the fraud was dis
covered.
The alleged conspiracy has been in
veStigated with searching care by prt-
vate detective agency, by the attorneys
and detectives of the insurance compa-
MES and latterly by the states attorney
himself.
Sunday at a meeting between States
Attorney Deneen and County Attorney
William Even on one side and the at
torneys representing the insurance asso-
citation and detective agency, the case
was discussed and it was decided to
cause the immediate arrest of the sus-
poets.
Wayland Brown, assistant manager
of the Mooney & Roland detective
agency, was arrested ON his return from
Virginia today charged with completely
in the case.

REGARDED A GREAT VICTORY
Secretary Wilson OF the Mine Workers
Makes q Statement.

Makes q statement.
INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. e.-W. B. Will
son, secretary treasurer of the United
Mine Workers of America, issued a
statement in which he says in part:
''All of the coal operators having con-
ceded an advance in wages, it can be
truthfully said that the miners of the
anthracite region have achieved great
victory. Yet the dispute is not settled,
nor win it be, even though the miners
accept the proposition of the operators
and return to work. The sliding scale,
dockage, semi-monthly pay and other
grievances complained of by the miners
have not been considered in the propo-
sails of the operators and the advance in
wages is so complicated with the reduc-
ton in the price of powder, that many
of theminers do not understand it. I'm
der these circumstances the surest and
best method of securing a settlement
establishing permanent peace would
come from a meeting Of the operators
with the anthracite miners when they
meet to consider the offer Of the coal
