COULD NOT AGREE.
Tennessee Miners and Operators Are
 Still At odds.

Tennessee Miners and Operatorn Are
 Still At odds.
 Knoxville. August 31.--The contract between the coal miners and operators of district No. 19 expired tonight and no agreement has yet been reached as to a new wage scale. However. work will not stop as 1t was agreed today that the miners in this district shall continue work, pending theG clement of a wage scale which shall date from September l.
 National Secretary w. B. Wilson. Of the United Mine Workers arrived here this morning. He held a conference with miners leaders before the joint conference with the operators was con vened.
 A sensational turn In the effort of the operators and miners to agree up- on a wage scale developed today when all the operators of the Coal Creek dis trict withdrew from the conference and refused to have anything further to do with 1t. A few hours later the operators as a body refused to accede to the proposition presented by the mine workers through National Secre- tary Wilson. This proposition was that the men would continue work at reduction equal to one half of, lust years increase. That increase Twas [ 1-2 per cent Such a scale would fix the wages of the men at ffty-one and seven -efghts cents per ton com- pared with fifty-three and three fourths the present rate.
 The operators originally demanded reduction of fifteen per cent, but it Is believed they would be willing to com promise on ten per cent. The latter statement is based on tho fact that the Coal Creek operators who withdrew to. la Lnn tn hn ffrnn for fiffaan per cent cut. The Coal Crek men an- nounced that they would hereafter op- crate their mines independent of the organization.
 Secretary Wilson announced tonight his belief that the crisis would be reached tomorrow. It will be either compromise or strike.

 Oshkosh, Wis. Aug. 31.-The Dem- ocratic State Convention at 9:15 o'clock tonight took a recession until g o'clock tomorrow morning without doing prac- ticaily any business further than per- fecting permanent organization.
 James l.. O'Connor of Milwaukee was agreed upon as permanent Chairman instead of Henry !. KilliIea of the same city. This was victory for the so-cailed radicals, over the program mapped out by the Warden-Ryan com bination.
 The Platform Committee of which former United States Senator William F. Villas is Chairman. spent several hours in deliberation, but when the convention was ready for the report. the Committee had not finished it's la- bors. Several sets of resolutions were submitted and these were taken up plank by plank and thoroughly dis cussed. It Is known that the platform will endorse the resoduticns adopted by the national convention at St. Louis.
 It is pretty generally conceded that former Governor George w. Peck will be nominated to head the ticket after the Committee acts on the platform to- morrow.

 Lieutenant Nell said that he had not told Lieutenant Cone at statesboro that 1t made no difference even if the troops had no ammunition. He denied that the deputy sheriff came to him where he was in command of the reserves and told him that he was needed at the court house with his men to aid in the defense of the prisoners.

 Captain Hitch positively identified Cap" B. T. Ballard, the bailiff who testified at Statesboro yesterday, as the man who had seized and disarmed hiu and sho~ed him down the steps.
 Captain Hitch said he could not pos. sibly have been mistaken in him. Hs said that there was absolutely nothing GntA I,wA n ru... -.- a- sonable man to presume that there was to be no shooting done.
 The reasonable conclusion was that shooting would be ordered and that to kill" he said.
 Captain Hitch charged responsibilitx to Judge Daily, who had presided at the trial of the negroes.
 Captain Hitch said that he had uni- formiy refrained from making any charges against any of the officers os men of his command as he did not want to make any attempt to shift the responsibility to any one Of his subor. dinates, if any one of them was to blame.
 Accuses Judge Daily.
 This, however. would not prevent him from fixing the responsibility up- on any one outside of the command.
 The captain said that he had gone to Judge Daily before the lynchfng and sought him to have issued warrants against leaders of the rioters as their names were we'll known. He got an indecisive answer.' and Judge Daly did not Issue the warrants. which Captain Hitch was ready to serve. Captain Hitch said he also tried to get the Judge to swear in twenty Aep- uties, but that was not done either. If Judge Paly had remained in the court room Che Captain said. he might have beer of great assistance in directing the sheriff.
 Tho Captain said that in his Judge- ment the reamrks of the judge in sen. tencing the prisoners had much to do with exciting and inflaming the mob.
 The court will probaly make re- commendation to the governor as well as submit a transcript of the great vol- ume of testimony.
