INDIANA MINERS
THEY THREATEN TO TAKE

TUCKY FIGHT.

The Indiana miners have announced
that they will AID the Southwest Ken
lucky miners in their fight for ad'
vanoed rates. The Hoosiers claim
that Kentucky coal is brought into
Indiana and sold ai much less than the
Indiana coal can be sold, because OF
the lower rate of paying the miners.
They want TO put the cost so high that
the operators cannot send it into In
diana to compete with them.

Before Acting on Scale
THE CONFERENCE is VOW ovss

Mr.. william Fades hss returned
from Central Cisy, whore he attended
the joint conference Of mine operators
and workers that met there Monday
and did not reach anything like an
agreement until yesterday.
He stated that at the conferences the
miners had demanded the lndianap-
oils scale, which would be about 8
cents more a ton on coal than the
present rate. The operators onered to
sign a contrac, paying the same scale
as during the presen, year. They
claimed that there was nothing tcius-
thy any increase, and they would not
grant 1t. and IL might rs we'll DO I'M
dexs,ood at the start as later.
Both sides were firm, and after be-
ing in session about thne weeks ago
in Louisville for several days the CON
feranse adjourned 10 meet at Central
| City this week. Nothing could be
done TO adjust the differences then,
and the miners, 1t is claimed, saw that
they esuh not carry their point, and
do not desire TO either bark down or
strike, so they asked for = months
time in which to further consider the
offer os the operators. and IL was

defof Millionaire Rice.
Heard the Verde, Of Guilty" Without a
Tremor-a New Trial to
Be Asked.
THE VERDICT WAS NO SURPRISE
Be Asked

New York, March 27.-Albert T.
Patrick, lawyer, was last evening con-
victed of the murder on September 20,
1900, of the aged millionaire recluse,
". NJ. Rice.
The penalty under the statute is
death in the electric chair.
A scant three hours of elaboration
at the close ola trial pro longed for
nine weeks and replete with sensation
al interest sufiiced to enable the jury
to reach their verdict. The issue Of
the trial established the charge that
Patrick conspired with Mr.. Rice's val.
ct. Charles f. Jones, to obtain posses
sion Of the Texans estate, and that
Jones killed his employer by the sd.
ministrstion of chloroform at the di.
rect ins,igation Of Patrick.
At the close of Recorder Goff :
charge, which occupied the morning
session of the court, the jury retired.
This was at 1 80 p. m. AT 5;55 they
notified the officers that they were
ready to return to court. Rather
more than an hour of the intervening
time had been devoted to luncheon.
In anticipation of a scene of excite
ment in the event of a verdict Of
guilty, the unusual step was taken Of
ordering all women to leave the court
room. Among them were the pris-
oner's two sisters, and Mrs. Francis,
with whom he boarded.
calm as ever, and with confidence
seemingly mistaken, the prisoner was
escorted in the court room. He walked
rapidly and took his stand, facing the
jury. with hands loosely olasped be-
hind his back.
At the word guilty, pronounced
by Foreman Machell in q low tone,
but distinct enough to be heard, not
the slightest change passed over Pat
rioK's face, and he remained standing
in an almost listless attitude while
the customary poll Of the jury was be-
ing taken. His aged father, Captain
Patrick, sitting near him, and strain
ing to catch the statement of the fore
man, started for an in slant as its i'm.
port reached him. and then sat calmly
awaiting the further proceedings.
A smile of triumph lit up the face
of Assistant District Attorney Osborne.

iately after Recorder Goff had. at the
request Of the prisoners counsel, fixed
on week from Monday as the day
on which to pronounce sentence.
Captain Patrick, after taking leave
of his son, who was then led back to
the Tombs, would only say:
1T is hard. Wen have to try
again.
Motion will be made for new trial

undertook the task of bringing them
to book for their brach of the law IN
participating in a conspiracy to cnecK
trade. They pretended to be very meek
and to be ready to make all sorts OF con-
cessions, but we notice that the price OF
beef still remains where they chose to
place it.
They knew that the Republican action
in appealing to the courts was simply
game as bluff" that it was an effort to
lull the public outcry against the domin-
alton of the trusts over the food of the
people. They kept right at their business
and took only such action regarding the
legal proceedings as was necessary to
lend an air of probability to the roseate
yarn of promise with which the admins
tration was trying to befool the Ameri-
can people.
The complete dissemination of the Re
puDilCdn party " w 'hhho
fective against the trusts is proven by
the failure of Congress to adopt any
antitrust legislation at the session that
has just closed. After all, why should
the party be blamed? How can it AFFORD
to antagonize it's greatest ally? Who
pays the bulk of the campaign expenses
If not the trusts? How many presidential
and congressional campaigns would have
been lost If it had not been for the Sin
ews of war; furnished by protected"
aggregations of capital? When the Re-
publican national committee sends out
it's fiat friers'' they visit, first of all, the
trusts, and the fiat" that is secured is a
small percentage of the profits which
they wiring from lie people.
The Republican party will not desert
the trusts and does not propose to do
anything that will lead the trusts to
desert it. Theodore Roosevelt could no
more be elected President Of the United
States in 1904 without trust campaign
funds hi he could make a standing
jump over the Washington monument
