ANNUAL CONVENTION
OF THE COAL MINERS

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 11.-Nearly
thirty thousand coal miners were di-
rectly represented at the fifteenth an
nual convention of the Pittsburg Dis
trict u. M. w. A. which opened this
morning. When President Patrick
Dolan called the convention to order,
credentials from 1853 delegates had
been received. Others appeared and
then credentials were referred to the
committee composed of district audi
tors.
The delegates will be in session FIVE
days. One of the important matters
to be considered will be the decision
Of Judge John ID. Shaffer In declaring
the child labor law as applied to the
miners union constitutional.
A proposition which will receive at
tention will be at the wages the men
will demand for the ensuing year,
commencing April /. AS usual the del
egates to the Indianapolis convention,
which will convene the following
week, will 30 there under instructions
to demand an increase In the wage
rate. II Is rumored that the Interstate
conference at Indianapolis, January
26th, the operators will demand re.
duction OF 10 per cent. The miners
are determined to oppose the reduc-
tion.

ACQUITTED
QUEER MURDER TRIAL AT
ALLENTOWN.
SEVERAL ARE ACCUSED
But None of Them May
be Convicted.

Allentown, Pa, Jan. 12.--Alos Eek
stein, the fiance of Mabel Bechtel, and
David Weisenberger, his rival for the
hand of the murdered girl, met on
common ground today In the local
courts of justice and victory again
perched upon the banner of Weisen-
berger. Eckstein's fate hangs in the
balance, but tonight his rival, Wei
senberger, is a free man and he
stands legally exonorated from any
participation in the death of the girl
whose infatuation for him Is declared
to be the chief cause of her tragic
death.
Weisenberger was arraigned before
Judge Trexler by District Attorney
Lichtenwalter shortly after three
o'clock this afternoon. He had been
indicted on three distinct charges,
accessory before the fact, accessory
after the fact, and manslaughter, and
as each was solemnly read to him,
he pleaded mot guilty" In firm
voice. Weisenberger looked expect
ant and pleased, but his evident joy
was not shared by either Eckstein or
the members of the Bechtei family,
all of whom except Charles, were In
court. Eckstein looked sour and dis
appointed and Mrs. Bechtel and her
three daughters, Martha and her two
married sisters, betrayed their bitter
feeling toward Weisenberger in every
movement. The Bechtel women were
all heavily veiled and sat in the far
therest corner of the space within the
bar. The attention of every one in
the crowded room was upon them.
After Weisenberger had been ar
raigned and entered his plea, a jury
Of twelve men were quickly selected.
The first dozen in the panel were
picked and there was no challenges
as the proceedings were merely for
NAL. This part of the program hav-
ing been completed District Attorney
Lichtenwalter, addressing the Judge,
said he had no evidence against Wei
senberger and asked that he be ac-
quilted by direction of the court.
Judge Trexler agreed to the procedure
and in thirteen minutes after the
case was called, Weisenberger was a
free man.
Having been formally acquitted, he
is now a competent witness for the
prosecution against Eckstein and the
Bechtels.
The surprise of the day then came
when instead of calling the Bechtels
as he had announced yesterday, DIS
trict Attorney Lichtenwalter ordered
the trial of Eckstein upon the same
charges as those upon which his r.
val had only few moments before
been acquitted. The determination
to try Eckstein second was reached
this afternoon at conference be-
tween .his lawyers and District At
torney Lichtenwalter The acquittal
of Eckstein is expected and the Dis
trict Attorney announced tonight
that he will press only one charge
against the Bechtels, the least seri-
Gus one, accessory after the fact. 1t
Is believed that the case against the
Bechtels can be reached late tomor-
row afternoon or early Thursday
morning

|ney, Peter J. Collins, filed petition

day investigating the charges against
John Williams. who is charged with at

did the most of the recent burglarz-
ing in the city. Witnesses were also
examined In the cases against Young
and Forsythe. the young men charged
with making murderous assault up
on John Miller in this city. The indi-
Ications are that all three of the pris-
oners will be indicted, as the evidence
against them is strong.

Jack Gardner, the well known soci-

government $4,000 in duties on works
'of art for her private museum on the
back bay fens in Boston.
Mrs. Gardner today took advantage
of the law admitting free of duty all
works of art intended for public ex.
hibition. The department Of justice
held that two or three hundred paid
admissions a month do not constitute
public exhibition. Mrs. Gardner Inn
ported 100000 worth of paintings and
paid the $4,000 In duties rather than
throw her private museum open to the
public.
