KINGS HOPELESS QUEST.
Disheartened After Long Search for
Parents Man ATTEMPTS Suicide.

Parents Man Attempts Suicide.
New York, May 8-Disheartened at
his failure after years of endeavor to
learn who his parents were. Henry
King, 80 years old. attempted suicide
in the vestibule of the New York
founding asylum The doctors say
he probably will recover
King was a mere child when taken
to the founding asylum, where he was
kept until 1873. when, at the age of six
he was sent to a Maryland farm. There
he remained until he was of age. AS
he grew to manhood he felt that his
parentage should not be yelled in un-
certainty Two years ago he brought
an action to compel the asylum au.
thorities TO disclose the identity of his
parents. The action brought forth the
response that it would be impossible
to tell. For days and weeks after this
defeat, King, then %, frequented the
asylum.
A growing belief that he was heir to
a fortune stimulated his desire, and on
one occasion made him so persistent
that he was arrested Every day he
called and repeated his questions, un-
til finally, discouraged at his lack of
success, he swallowed morphine in the
hallway of the home.

convention is not legislative, but an
advisory body. Under the denomina-
tional teachings of the church the
convention does not make laws for its
constituency. The delegates meet for
cooperation in missionary and educa-
tional work. The meeting of several
societies and bodies auxiliary to the
general convention were held during
the day,
The main question for consideration
by the convention will be education
and home and foreign missions Both

hand of something like $4,000 The
report of the foreign board, the head.
quarters of which is. in Nashville, will
be made by DR.. r. j. Willingham
Mr.. Northen having declined re.
election as president, there was much
speculation among the delegates when
the convention was called to order as
to who would be the next presiding
officer. Many were of the opinion that
Mr.. Northen would yet be induced to
serve another term.

CITIES TUMBLE FROM

Guatemala City, Republic of Guate
nala, April 24.-Correspondence of
the Associated Press.-For nearly a
week earthquakes have been tumbling
down cities and villages on the west
ern slope of the Sierras in this re,
public.
On the night of April 18 at the cap

lowed by a thunderstorm and torrents
Of rain, all in the space of a few min
to rush for shelter. In an instant
however, the earthquake was upon
them. Rushing frantically into the
darkness and through flooded Streets
anywhere away from the straining
rafters and cracking walls, ran the
multitude, crying, praying and a few
trying to sing the Salve Regina.
The following shocks were less Sc
we're and by 10 o'clock many of the
inhabitants were wandering about ex
amining the walls of the cathedral of
Santa Teresa, LaRecOllecion and 9th
er churches which were more or less
damaged.
News soon began to come in from
the hill country, where Quesaltenango
is situated. This, the second city of
the republic, suffered by far the most
Hundreds of residences and public
buildings were destroyed or severely
damaged. The very narrow streets,
often not over three or four yards
wide, and the irregular manner in
which the town is built served to make
death traps of the house, so that al
though not half of the debris has yet
been cleared, fully 200 bodies have
been recovered and many persons
were badly injured. Fire as we'll as
flood added to the horror of the night
with the result that many people have
gone insane and others have commit
ted suicide.
Amatitlan, San Juan, San Marcos
Escuintla, Santa Lucia, Utatlan and
several other smaller towns have been
partly ruined. Still very few lives
considering the extent of the disaster
have been lost.
TIE sessions of the national con-
gress at Guatemala City have been
suspended. The meetings of the ma,
tional committee for the Louisiana
Purchase exposition, and which Com
missioner Chandler attended by spe,

interruption for two hours, though the

MINERS OFFICIALS CONFER.
Secret Conference Held at Scranton.
Strike May Be Declared.

Strike May Be Declared.
Scranton, Pa, May 8.-The execu-
tive committee of the three districts
OF the anthracite coal field, represent
ing all of the members Of the United
Mine workers in that territory, resum-
ed its secret conference today.
There is much apprehension in bust.
ness circles all over the anthracite re-
gion regarding the action of the meet
ing.
Strong influences are at work among
the miners to prevent strike, as it
is thought a strike at this time means
a long struggle and consequent para
lying of industries.
Many officials of the miners union
are working to prevent the declaration
of a strike
There is much speculation as to
what will be the action of the union
should it decide that drastic methods
are necessary.
Granted that no concession will be
made to the men, the miners officials
have only two moves to make unless
they declare for or against a strike.
They may call another convention,
fresh from the rank and file, to decide
the matter, or they may send com.
mittees of employees to the different
coal operators to ask for concessions.
Some of the company officials are said
to favor the latter plan as a way out
for both sides.
President Mitchell wields the same
power of influence over the miners
that he has hitherto exercised and it
is conceded that the question of strike
or no strike depends almost entirely

st. Paul, May 8.-A Helena, Mont,
special to The Dispatch says:
1t is learned upon excellent author
ity that as a result of a conference
last night between G. w. Whitley,
northwestern manager of the Ameri
can Smelling and Refining company;
former Governor Hauser, a heavy
stockholder thereof; Phil Bowden, of
Denver, representative of the Wash
ington Federation of Labor, and To-
cal member of the strikers commit
tee, the former two telegraphed the
officials of the smelter trust in New
York recommending that the terms of
the strikers be accepted.
These terms are simply for the rec.
ognition of labor unions formed
among the 600 employees of the Helena
smelter now on strike. 1t is believed
this suggestion will be approved by
the officials of the company and opera
tions resumed at once. Many mines
closed because of the strike will also
resume.
