INDIANA MINERS WILL
VOTE FOR ACCEPTANCE
Attitude of President Mitchell Is
Having Much Influence in
Changing Sentiment.
SESSION OF WEDNESDAY
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal.
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. March 9.-The
convention of the United Mine Workers of
the Indiana bituminous field adjourned this
morning until tomorrow, after being In
session an hour. The adjournment was
taken to give Secretary-treasurer Kennedy
time to complete his annual report. The
convention realizes that there is no occa-
sion for speedy transaction of business be-
cause at the present there is no definite
prospect of meeting the Indiana operators
to sign scale for the ensuing year.
1t can be said with assurance that. while
Indiana voted soiidly at Indianapolis
against the acceptance of the final propo-
sition of the operators. the referendum vote
next week will snow a majority in favor of
acceptance. Too much stress cannot be
placed on the explanation that the dele
gates to the Indianapolis conference were
acting on ironclad instructions given a
month or six weeks ago, and on the attitude
of John Mitchell at that time that the men
should stand firm against a reduction in
the scale.
II is a fact that the changed attitude of
John Mitchell is changing the attitude of
the Indiana miners, even to the delegates,
most of whom were also delegates to the
Indiana convention.

GREGG SUIT ARGUMENT
DRAWS GREAT CROWDS
Reasons Set Forth for Defendant s
Influence Over Her Son-Con-
tention of Defense.
WARNING TO THE JURY
,ciaI to the indianapolis Journal.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind, March 9.-As
was the case during the taking OF testi-
mOny IN the Gregg alienation affections
suit, the arguments in that case are attract
ing to the courthouse the largest crowds
that ever gathered there in the hearing of
a civil action. once the crowd is gathered
it is absolutely impossible for another per
son TO force entrance to the room where
the trial is proceeding.
Yesterday Benjamin Crane. for the prose
cution, opened the arguments, and he
spoke briefly this morning. in conclusion.
Mr.. Cranes argument was to the effect
that Mrs. Sarah NJ Gregg's influence over
her son was paramount. because from his
childhood she had been his sole mentor.
She had not permitted him to attend school,
but had taught him herself, and clear into
manhood had practically controlled his &C
tions. This condition continued after his
marriage with June Jamison, he declared,
and was accumulated by the fact that Geo.
Gregg and his wife were dependent on Mrs
Sarah Gregg for support.
w. L. Wilmington occupied the rest Of
the day. speaking for the defense Much
attention was given to the testimony of
Ben Hickman, the negro nurse, whom the
attorney sarcastically alluded to as June s
man Friday. He cOmplimented the plain
tiff on her acumen, declaring she was
shrewder than any lawyer connected with
the case. The testimony he said, lay at
right angles, and difficult of elucida-
ton, but he declared the contradictions of
the plaintiffs evidence to be vital He
warned the jurors against being "hypno-
tiZed by the bewitching eyes of the plain
tiff, and declaring that she was manifestly
trying TO charm them.

Thieves Were Frightened.

Speciaf 10 the Indianapolis journal.

office in this city entered by burglars
this morning and the safe unsuccessfully
blown. Four charges of nitroglycerin were
exploded, but only the outer part of the
door was removed. The cracksmen, it is
believed were amateurs, judging from the
fact that they must have placed three light
charges in the safe before any effect was
obtained. One piece of the door was hurled
nearly forty feet.
The last charge was heard by the officers,
who rushed to the scene just as the
burglars were fleeing The safe contained
500 in cash and $1,000 in stamps, but all
that was obtained was 50 from a pocket
book which had been left in the office the
night before by Miss Riley, the second as
sstant Before. breaking into the post
office the Echman meat market, next door,
was burglarized, but only a small sum of
money was secured.
One of the burglars. in breaking through
the window of the meat market, evidently
cut his hand badly, as he left trial of
blood wherever he went.
