London, Jan. 3O.-The various
Legitimist and Jacobite leagues
throughout the country today
celebrated the 252d anniversary
of the execution of King Charles

placed about the statue Of the
king at the head of Whitehall.
A largely attended service was
held in the morning in memory
of the king at ST Margaret Pat
tens, Rood -lale. The officiating
clergy were attired in red vest
ments, this being symbolical Of
the blood OF the martyr.

Miss Stone has not been Lib

Washington, Jan. 3d. The
state department is disposed to
attribute the failure of the ne
gotiations looking to the release
Of Miss Stone to the newspapers.
The recent arrangements for
release have completely mis-
carried. 4 body OF Turkish
troops guided, it is said, by the
finger Of the press, having &p-
peared near the scene arranged
for the surrender and caused
the captors to seek cover.

Meet to Fix Mining Scale.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 3d.
The joint conference Of opera
tors and miners was organized
today. The president of the
state bodies concerned in the
agreement of the future named
their committeemen and adjourn
ment was then taken until to-
morrow when the real matter at
issue will be taken up. The con-
ference will probably last ten
days. Illinois, Indiana, Penn
sylvania, Ohio and Iowa are rep
resented on the scale committee,
Conflicting rumOrs are afioat
concerning the demands to be
made by the miners, one report
having it that the men intend to
stand out for an advance of 10
per cent, all along the liue, On
the other hand, it is stated that
the operators are considering a
reduction amounting to the same
figures on the ground that the
past year has been improbable
and the outlook for the coming
wear is no brighter. While it is
thus true that both sides enter
the conference with veiws widely
at variance conservative mem
bers of the order are Of the
opinion that the prospects were
never brighter for an amicabIe
settlement and the adjustment OF
a wage scale satisfactory to all.

A HORRIBLE CONFESSION.


Texas Woman Reveals Workings Of
Gang of Murderons Thieves.
BEAUMONT, Tex. March 13.-Mat-
tie Bennett has confessed to Sheriff
Lindley that She was at the head of
gang of negro women and white men
who for months had been Turing men
into her house. drugging them, beating
them and robbing them If they died,
the victims We're dragged to the river
and thrown in. If they We're only stun
| ned, they We're taken out of the house
to remote part of some street and left
for pedestrians Or policemen to find.
A fear is felt that more than twelve
men who have come to Beaumont and
were afterward reported as missing
have been murdered and that their bod
les are now at the bottom of the river
In the last three months at least fifty
inquiries for missing men have been
received. and. while no one supposes
that the gang has murdered so many as
fifty, there Is a fear that some of the
disappearance are due to their work.
Five bodies have been found in the
river since the first of the year. The
Bennett woman was arrested Sunday
on suspicion of being connected with
the murder of Benjamin Pearson, one
of the five known victims. She defsrs
being guilty Of this crime, but admits
that one of the gang Of which she is a
member discussed the commission Of
the deed. On the strength of her con-
fession n white man, punch Prim,
and negro woman, Mary Jane, have
been arrested.
