THINK MINERS WILL WEAKEN
Operators Not Expected to Bulge an
Inch.

Scranton, Pa, Oct. 2-Sentiment
among representatives of the coal
operators has undergone a change
since yesterday regarding the attitude
of President Roosevelt in assuming the
role of an Intermediary TO settle the
strike. Yesterday they said the only
effect of the presidents action would
be to put off the surrender Of the
miners.
These same men today say the White
House conference will hasten the end
Of the strike; that ii will show the
miners that no third party, not even
the president of the United States can
bulge the coal operators from their
position. and that once this is realized
the strikers will weaken.
A prominent individual coal operator
said today that he stood ready to guar
antee that the operators would agree
to a sliding scale basis Of pay com
pretending a per cent raise for every
ten cents advance on coal above $3.50
ton free on board. the present sell
ing price, If the miners union would
agree to put up bonds TO indemnify the
operators for damages resulting from
strikes caused by the discharge Of men
for causes other than connected with
the union.
No disorder was reported today, and
no claims from either side as to gain
or losses in the working forces at col
lieries. All interest is centered in to-
morrow's conference.
It is now almost certain that John
Mullen. . non-uniOn man who was
run over by a trolley car at Smithville
last night. was stunned or killed and
then placed on the track.

CRIMINALISTS
NOW IN SESSION
Psychic Element in Crime the
Topic Under Discussion.
PROF. Won MAYER'S OPINION
REFORM OF THE PROCEDURE IN
RUSSIAN COURTS.
PROF. Won MAYER'S OPINION

Correspondence Of the Associated Press.)
ut. PETERSBURG. Sept. I9.-The
psychic element in crime appears
70 be the peg upon which all
the noteworthy utteranees of the ninth
congress Of the International Society of
Criminalists. now sitting in this city.
are going TO be hung. This society
was founded on the initiative Of Prof.
Franz Won Lizt of Berlin. and he is
president OF the present congress. Prof.
Won Mayer of Germany offered the fol-
lowing thesis;
'First-The criminal law should con-
tain a definition OF an attempt.
'second-Such a definition must be
emancipated from the traditional no
ton Of the beginning Of execution.
'Third-An attempt is punishable
emily when expressly determined by
law.
Fourth The punishment of at
tempts should be in principle the same
as that OF completed crime. with the
reservation Of limited judicial power
Of remission.
"Fifth-When penitence for an at
tempted crime is shown, punishment
is 20 be RENTED.
Another speaker put the case thus,
"A child at play may start con-
lagration: the desperate passions of
a crime-steeped criminal may fail;
shall we guillotine the child and let
the criminal still prey on society I'M
til he succeeds in some villainy p
The congress by a large majority
adopted the following conclusions.
which were formulated by Profs. Won
Lizt and Won Hamel. of Amsterdam.
"First-Nobody Is punishable for the
consequences Of his acts except in so
far as ne could have foreseen or pre-
vented them.
"Second-As 70 the question of com
plicity. the law should drop all doc
trinaire distinctions between those who
have participated in the crime itself.
and confine itself TO indicating the
modes of participation that it viii con-
slider as such.
'Third-The question Of attempt will
remain on the order of the. day of
the society"
In welcoming the delegates Minis
ter Of Justice Muravieff made the fol-
lowing statement:
The publication OF a new criminal
law hook is imminent in Russia. The

Detective Ballard of the Gould sys-

Theodore A Shope, who was arrested
here Tuesday night and who is wanted
in White county for several crimes.
The Arkansas officers said while here
that Shope is one OF the most daring
and cunning criminals that ever oper-
ated in their state. He first attracted
the attention of the authorities three
years ago while employed as eondue-
tor on the St Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern railroad. While holding this
position, he Is alleged to have COM
mitted thefts on almost every trip over
the road and covered up his tracks 50
skilfully that he was not discovered
until three months ago. During the
three years Shope is alleged to have

Being unable 10 fasten the robberies
upon Shope, the detectives worked up
on the bigamy cases and discovered
that Shope had two wives in Pennsyl-

They also discovered that the fourth
Mrs. Shope had been cruelty treated
by her husband and, just prior TO his
departure from Arkansas, had been al
most murdered by him. The other
members OF the band of thieves, fear
ing that Mrs. Shope would tell on them,
bounded her until she lost her mind.
She was found in Little Rock by the
detectives. She was suffering with a
broken arm, broken jaw and other in
iuries, all inflicted by Shope before his
flight TO Wyoming
The Arkansas officers say they have
a clear case and that Shope will be
sent TO the pen for long term.
