The Task is Laid Before, the New York
 Grand Jury
The Question of Intent to Defraud be Decided by Ev dence. Suggestion for Warrants Against Bliss and Cortelyou Receivers of Stolen Goods.

New York. March 23.-If the grand jury which is Investigating some of the conditions developed by the recent legislative investigation reaches the conclusion that contributions of insur- ance companies to political campaign funds were made with intent to de- fraud the true owner of his property, it must find that larceny was commit ted. This opinion was expressed to- day by Justice O'Sullivan in the court of general sessions in answer to pre- sentiment on the subject submitted to him by the grand jurors. Judge O'Sul- livan added that t is not within the province of the court to say whether or not there was intent. That is a ques- ton which the jurors must determine for themselves from all the facts and place the responsibility for such crimes. if they fird that crimes were committed.
 This opinion is in effect directly op- pOsite to the one upon the same sub iect which was given by District At torney Jerome several days ago. MT. Jerome in his brief which was sub mitted to Justice O'Sullivan, held that there was no ground for the prosecu- tion of any insurance officials in con nection with the campaign cOntribu- JlOnS, taxing the SIOuIlu that llo lilICLl co tion to defraud had been shown. Judge O'Sullivan agrees with the contention of the district attorney that intent must have been present to constitute the crime of larceny, but declares that the question whether or not there was intent is a question yet to be deter mined.
 Mir. Jerome was i- court today. and when Judge Sullivan had delivered his opinion and the district attorney asked the grand jury to remain, as he desired to address them on the subject in ques- tion he declared that Judge Sullivan had misconceived the subject which he had considered and that if the court held to it's opinion, it would be the duty of the grand jury to return indictments against Geo w Perkins former vice president of the New York Life In- surance company, for larceny and against Geo. E. CoroelyOu, chairman,

MINE OWNERS
 ARE DIVIDED
On the Subject of Meeting
 Miners Demands
This DiSSensiOn is More Fierce than the Dispute With the Men Who Work in the Mines.

Indianapolis. March 23.-The dead lock between the coal operators and miners of the central competitive and southwestern districts continued throughout the meeting of the two joint scale committees of the joint conference today and when the meeting adjourned late this evening no agreement had been reached.
 Both committees will meet again to- morrow morning. The discussion in the scale committee of the central competitive district was confined en- tirely today to arguments regarding the operators on the committee and radical views were expressed by them. The miners representatives were, for the most part, silent auditors. An eff fort was made to secure from President Mitchell an expression as to whether he considered the Ryan resolution in ef- feet. This resolution was adopted by the former. joint conference in January and binds the miners not to sign in any district until an agreement shall have been reached in every district. MT. Mitchell declined to commit himself.
 F. L. Robbins, of the Western Penn sylvania operators, was the target to- day for several vigorous attacks on his position in favor of paying the scale of 1903, which would mean an advance of 5.55 per cent in wages in the district and would comply with the demands of
 the miners.
 Mr Robbins stated on the floor that he did not intend to be dictated to
 by the operators of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. He said his position was fair and just to all interests and the Pittsburg coal company, which he rep resented, was willing to pay the ad-
 Ta "a he also willing to pay the advance at his
 own mines in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
 Illinois, and he had received notice
 from an Illinois coal company, hay
 ing an output of one million tons an nually, that it had instructed its rep resentatives to vote with him. MT. Robbins said the country would not permit a general strike upon the causes shown He turned to President Nit chell of the mine workers, and said he did not believe the officials of the min-
 CTS would dare to refuse to allow the miners to work where their demands were met.
 c. 4. Magoon, representing the Western Pennsylvania independent op- orators. said that if the Pittsburg Coal 1 company paid, the Western sPennsyl- vania would do the same.
 The dissensions among the operators ] became SO heated that the representa- ! tfves of the miners were asked to with l draw for an hour. This was done, and at the end of the period an adjourn ment of the committee was taken un- 1 til tomorrow morning. The operators arranged for a conference by states l among themselves tonight.
 After the general caucus leading op- orators said tonight that nothing had 1 been accomplished and the situation was exactly as it was at the beginning ] of the joint conference.

Washington, March 23.-(SpeciaD- The expected conflict in the senate over the selection of conferees on the statehood bill came to a quick and al together peaceful termination today. MT. Foraker withdrew his motion pro viding for the appointment of con ferees, not by the president of the sen ate, but by the senate direct. This was generally recognized as an unusual proceeding and might nave met with resentment and opposition even from statehood senators. The withdrawal of the motion by Mir. Foraker him self simplified matters but left the president no choice but to appoint MT Beveridge, chairman of the committee on territories, which reported the Ham ilton bill.
 Senator Foraker explained that he had had a conference with the sena- tors from Indiana, and had received assurances which were entirely sat:s- factory to him. Senator Bevcridge told several democratic senators that he would represent the senate's views and not his own and would make no concessions unless they were satisfac- tory to the senate.
 In addition to MT. Beveridge. Sen atOrs Dillingham; and Patterson were appointed on the conference committee. Two members Of this committee have been as radical for making two states out of the four territories as the house conferees, but their selection was hedg- ed about by such conditions by Sen ators Foraker and Teller and others, and by MT. Beveridge's plan, the com mittee goes into conference to repre- sent the sentiments of the senate and not the committee on territories.
 The conferees are instructed the same as those of the house. but rep resenting the majority Of the senate, they will insist on the senate amend ment.
 One Of two results is looked for from the conference. One is a disagreement which will bring the bill again into the house and the other is an agreement on the Foraker amendment, providing 1 for a referendum as to Arizona and New Mexico. What the senate will do in the latter case is not known.

Des Moines, Iowa, March 23.-Secre- tary of the Treasury Shaw made an interesting address on "republicanism" here tonight, in which he made an ela- borate argument against any change in tariff schedules at present because it would endanger republican success in 1908. Much interest was manifested throughout Iowa in the address, be- cause it was expected the secretary might enter into discussion of the fac tionaI fight within the republican party in Iowa.
