Verdict Means Imprison memt for Life
Boston, Dec. 15.--Murder in the sec
ond degree was the verdict returned to-
night against ]. Wilfred Blondin, VINO
for more than two weeks has been on
trial in the Suffolk county superior
court charged with murder. The jury
was out almost six hours when the an
nouncement came that a verdict had
been reached. Biondin in his face show
ed keen disappointment at the verdict
for when the jury retired he expressed
his belief that he would be acquitted.
Immediately after the jury had made
it's report, Judge Braley congratulated
the jury and the counsel for the fair
minded manner in which the trial was
conducted, and especially Congratulated
Blondin's senior counsel, Jams F.
Owens for the able manner in which he
had conducted the defense under try
ing circumstances. Then the jury was
discharged and the sitting of the court
adjourned without day. Blondin was
taken back to his cell at Charles street
Jail to await action upon a motion for
a new trial, which his counsel will make
based upon exceptions taken during the
trial.
Mr.. Jacques, the junior counsel, also
stated that the defense was in possess
sion of new evidence which he believes
will materially strengthen its case if a
new trial be granted.
Attorney General Parker said the
commonwealth was perfectly satisfied
with the result Of the trial.
To-day was devoted entirely to the
closing scenes in the trial as all evil
dence was in at the Saturday adjourn
ment. At the opening of court to-day
the court declined to order the Jury to
return a verdict OF not guilty, and the
arguments were made, Mr.. Owens for
the prisoner and Attorney General
Parker for the commonwealth. The
charge by Judge Stevens followed and
then the case was given to the jury.

MINERS BRING UP ALL IMPOR-
TANT QUESTION.
of the Coal Companies to the
RaiiroadS-Miners Would Probe the
Matter-Comni ission neetdes That 1t
Will Consider the Matter Only IL the
Coal Companies Claim They Cannot
Pay Higher Wages.


Pay Higher Wages.
Scranton, Pa, Dec. 15.-The mine
workers, after occupying nineteen days
in presenting about 100 witnesses, clos
ed their case before the anthracite coal
strike commission late this afternoon,
excepting that they will call one i'm
portant witness tomorrow morning.
The afternoon session was one of the
most important sittings the commission
has yet held, because the question of
whether the close relationship of the
coal carrying railroads with the mining
companies shall figure in the commits
sion's effort to adjust the controversy,
came squarely before the arbitrators.
The decision of the commission, if
Chairman Gray's remarks can be so
called, was briefly this:
That the commission in a general way
is averse to widening the scope of the
investigation beyond the terms of the
submissions of the miners and the op-
orators; that in carrying on the inves-
tigation it assumes the coal companies
can afford to pay fair wages; that if the
coal companies, in presenting their side
of the case maintain that they cannot
afford to give an increase in wages then
the commission will hear what the min
ers have to say on the ability of the
companies to do so, and that if a busi-
ness cannot pay fair wages the employ
er ought to get out of it.
These points were brought out during
the two hours consumed by the miners
lawyers reading documentary evidence,
to the whole of which the coal compan-
les entered specific and general objec-
tions
The mine workers depended a great
deal on the evidence they had to pre-
sent to show that the coal carrying
railroad control the coal companies and
that the railroads charge exorbitant
and discrimina ting freight rates, thus
greatly decreasing the revenues of the
mining properties. The miners wanted
to present this evidence in documentary
form, but as objection was made to it
and sustained by the commission with
the above rulings the matter was not
pressed. Clarence F. Darrow and
Henry D. Lloyd, representing the min
ers, said after the adjournment that
they are we'll satisfied with the attitude
of the commission and will fight out the
matter along the lines indicated by the
commission.

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIO
Pritchard and Qnay Favor Reduction
In Republican Conventions.

PrttchaTd ana 9uay Fav0r Reduction
in Republican Conventions.
Washington, Dec. 15,-At the White
House to-day Senator Pritchard of
North Carolina told Senator Quay of
Pennsylvania and a group of news
paper men that he would support any
properly directed effort to reduce the
representation of the southern states
In republican national conventions 1T
believe" said he, that is the only fair
method and am in favor of it. The
representation of all states in republi-
can national conventions should be in
accordance with the number Of repub-
lican votes cast in the several states"
Senator Quay expressed qualification
that Senator Pritchard had taken that
stand and remarked: IT am with
you"
Senator Pritchard explained that he
did not favor cutting down the repre-
sentation of the southern states in con-
gress because he did not think that
could be done constitutionally.

TEST OF FOOD ADULTERANTS.
ID .zsn Young Men Begin Dieting Under
Government Auspices.


Washington, Dec. 15.-About a dozen
young men to-day began boarding on
diet furnished by the agricultural de-
partment and designed to test the eff
feet of food adulterants. 1t was the
first day of the actual inclusion of b0r-
AK and other preservatives in the meats
which are to be furnished the young
men for long period under the direc-
ton of Chemist Wiley, of the depart
ment. He believes that the results will
show the harmlessness of preservatives
whose presence in exports of the Unit
ed States has led to exclusion Of such
food products in number of instances.
The young men have been taking their
meats for two weeks under DR.. Wileys
direction, but until to-day no adulter-
ants were used in the food. The object
was to put them in the best possible
physical condition before beginning the
actual feeding of the preservatives.
