DISAGREEMENT IS
 THE ONLY RESULT
Mitchell Finally Breaks the
 Painful Silence
ANOTHER MEETING TODAY
If Agreement Is Not Reached By Sat urday 225,ooo Men Will Be
 Called Out of the Mines.

Indianapolis, March 27.-The joint scale committee of the bituminous operators of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Western Penn sylvania today reported disagreement to the joint conference of the central com petitive district. and after a session of three hours the conference adjourned to meet tomorrow at o'clock.
 The discussions and arguments pre- scented during the afternoon by the rep resentatives of the miners and operators showed no change whatever in the sit uation, and established the fact that so far as indications can determine, the opposing sides are no nearer wage agreement than they were when the first conference was held. The present wage scale will expire Saturday, and unless an agreement is reached before its ex- plration, 225.O00 miners in the four states will be called from. the mines.
 Mitchell Breaks Silence.
 President Mitchell of the miners, open- ed the discussion in the joint conference after there had been a silence of ten minutes during which each side was waiting for the other to make the first move He offered at the end of a brief speech, a motion that as basis of set clement there be restoration of the scale, the mining scale, and the day wage scale, and the dead work scale of 1908.
 J. H. Winder, chairman of the oper- ators, offered as a substitute. a motion to adopt the present scale with all con dltions existing at the time of its adop- ion with the mining rate at Danyille, Ill, for a base, and to include all costs of shooting. loading, timbering and in- specton of shots
 Speeches by Operators.
 Speeches were made for the operators by J. c. Kolze and Phil Penn of Indiana, H. N Taylor of Illinois. and II. L. Chap man of Ohio, all expressing the deter mination of the operators of those states to oppose any increase in wages, and to refuse to pay an advance.
 For the miners, President Mitchell, Vice President T. L. Lewis and Secretary W. B. Wilson of the national organization, together with President H. c. Perry of the Illinois miners, President William Green of the Ohio miners, and President Wellington O'Connor of the Indiana mi ners, expressed the determination of the miners to insist upon their demand and for the restoration of the wage scale of 1905 which is an increase of 5.55 per cent. F. l.. Robbins of the Western Penn sylvania operators, who favors the pay ment of the increase demanded by the miners. did not speak during the after noon.

TALKS ON SHAKESPEARE
 AND THE ELIZABETHENS

place-still held the drama in thrall, and in producing coherent plays, which swept aside these barriers, Shakespeare left to the world one of his fundamental contribu- tions. He created the vehicle for poetic drama-blank verse-and thereby gave elasticity to expression, where before all charm had been destroyed in @ regular succession of measured lines. unlife-like and monotonous. And contrary to preee- dent he mingled, as in Hamlet" and in life, the antitresis of human emotions the comic and the tragic and secured dramatic contrast. He created the fool as a type, which has an established place in literature as the fool motif" in Par- sifal, and in the Last Tournament of Tennyson.
 Shakespeare had far more to contend with than the modern dramatist, Dr. Burton said. owing to the conformation of the theatre of his day and it's physi- cal limitations, all that make for illusion and glamour were lacking. Boxes ex- tending over the stage were filled with people who were incapable of appreciat- ing dramatic effect, And there was an utter absence of scenery, Scene shift ing consisted of changing signs
 The modern play, the lecturer said, was absolutely based on Shakespeare, who made the mould and form and gave to it the impress and dignity of his genius.

pr. Richard Burton lectured last night at the High school auditorium on 'Shake- speare and the Elizabethans."
 This was his second lecture in Birming- ham under the Chicago unversity's ex- tension department His next appear ance will be on April ?. when he will have for his subject "The Modern Novel"
 Dr. Burton's life work has been the study of the drama from the dual view point of critic and actor, and possessing as he does in marked degree the in- stinct of his art, his lectures are force full and instructive.
 Shakespeare had little to help him, Dr. Burton said, from the past when he be- gan to act and take control of the oIobe theatre. The style of those who had gone before-Greene and Beaumont and Fletcher and Ben Johnson-refected the manner of the time. "The English folks were waking Up to the consciousness of their own strength; they were like boys, strong lusty, lacking in taste, perhaps, but thrilled with the full tide of life, and therefore wholesome.
 But the time-honored idea which had it's origin with the Greeks, due to the confguration of the Greek theatre, that there must be no violation of the three unites-the unity of idea, of time and of

Words Were Merely Warning.

MT. ForaIser reminded MT. Tillman of his recent remarks concerning the possi- ble necessity for reforming the supreme court and MT. Tillman replied that his former utteranees were merely warn ing T have right to warn the court even though l am merely a corntield law yer,' he said.
 MT. Foraker said such criticism of the court had bad effect
 At o'clock MT Tillman again sug- gested the desirability of securing an agreement upon day for a vote on the rate bill and read an outline of his plan for voting.
 MT Aldrich objected to enactng a time for a vote at this time. He said he had no desire to cause delay. but that there were still so many speeches to be made that 1t was evident that the Senate was not yet prepared to enact a-voting day.
 MT. McCumber was then recognized and addressed the Senate on the rate bill. He had read resolution offered several weeks ago setting forth number of sub 1ects that should be provided for by amendments to the bill. These included terminal charges of all kinds. private line charges. and many other subjects not covered by the bill. He referred to tho popular demand for the passage of the pending bill and contended that when 1t becomes a law the people will not find in 1t all that they expect to find. He traced the popular dissatisfaction to a world restlessness, and not to the narrow field of the fixing of railroad rates. It is a contest between the ind- vidual and the corporation. he said. The trusts fix everything for us far in ad- vance; each of them has a definite mort gage on the future of all of us "The in- dividual sees his opportunity cut off on all directions, and there can be no wonder he is restless under the circumstances" he remarked. The general animosity is directed at the railroads most especially. he said, because they are more in evil dence than other corporations. He did not believe that relief would be secured until way was found of controlling the cor poratons that control the railroads.
 What we want Is a law that will break each of the trusts into 8 thousand pieces, and then another that will prevent the pieces from getting together again..
 Enforcement of Existing Law.
 He said that the public was asking for the enforcement of the existing law, rath- CT than the enactment of ne wlaws.
 Discussing the legal difficulties in the way of the bill, Mir. 'MeCumber said he was less concerned on account of them than on account of the policy of enter ing upon such legislation at all. He con sidered it an approach towards paternal- ism.
 He said in reply to q question from MT. Beveridge that he expected to vote for the pending bill, but expressed the opin- ion that 1t should be amended. He said that .ne rigid enforcement of the exist ing law woufu have prevented the develop ment of the west.
 He also gave 1t as his opinion that though the proposed law would absolute ly prevent competition between rival lines, because in effect it amounted to pooling. It would practically have the effect Of putting all competing roads under one

 MT Tillman declared that he had not intended to crticise Judge Humphrey, He also avowed his faith in the supreme court, saying that he did not believe that it would refuse to relieve the distress of the people.

Effort Made at Franklin to Lynch
George White, Who Killed the
;lA iar Town Marshal.
3 FRANKLIN, Ohio, Oct. S1.-A mob
of 800 men aud boys tried in vain to-
day to storm the doors of the jail in
an effort to capture George White, a
negro, whom the mob wanted to lynch.
While the mob was at the rear door
Sheriff Patterson and two deputies
rushed the negro, out the front door,
jumped into an automobile and start
ed for Lebanon, the county seat. When
the members of the mob discovered
they had been outwitted they fired
several times at the fleeing machine:
White had been arrested on the
charge of killing the town marshal;
George Basore, who had tried to ar
rest him on a robbery charge: After
he had shot the marshal the negro
started to run and was captured after
an exciting chase through the town.
He held his pursuers at bay until he
was shot through the arm.
When the mob was pounding at the
door the negro was badly frightened
and begged the sheriff and deputies
to save him. Had the mob been d.
vided and protecting both of the en-
trences of the jail, 1t is believed the
negro would have been hanged, rs
the sheriff and his deputies were poor
ly armed, while the mob was well
equipped, with rifles aud revolvers and
could have put up good fight had it
become necessary.

JUSTICE HARLAN DECLARES
SCOPE OF THlRTEENTtI
AMENDMENT IN pEcI-

WASHINGTON, Oct. s1.1The dis
sentlng opinion Of Justice Harlan,
with whom Justice Day concurs, in
the "whitecapping" case, has been
filed. The Supreme Court last spring
reversed the Judgment OF the United
States court for the Eastern district
OF Arkansas, convicting Reuben
Hodges and others Of intinldating ne
gro workmen. 1t was a test case un-
der the civil rights law, the indict-
ments being based on the allegations
that the denial of the rights claimed
was solely because Of the race and col
or Of the men.
Justice Harlan sharply dissents from
the conclusion reached by the majori-
ty, that such prosecutions would not
stand under the thirteenth amend
ment for the reason that negroes are
not more than any others protected by
1t. Pointing olt that he court had
lleld,the right to earn ones living in
all legal ways, and to make lawful
contracts in reference thereto, a vital
part of the freedom established by the
Constitution, and that It had been held
repeatedly that Congress had the
power to grant, protect and enforce
any right derived from, secured, or
created by or dependent upon that in
strument, Justice Harlan says:
"These general principles, 1t is to
be regretted, are now modified, SO as
to deny to millions OF citizen labor
crs of African descent, deriving their
freedom from the nation, the right to
appeal for national protection against
lawless combinations of individuals,
who seek, by such laborers, to deprive
them of the freedom established by
the Constitution Of the United States,
SO far as that freedom involves the
rights Of such citizens, without dis
elimination against them because of
their race, to earn a living in all law
full ways and to dispose of their labor
by contracts.
q cannot assent to an Interpretation
of the Constitution which denies ma
tional protection TO vast numbers of
our people, in respect to rights derived
by them from the nation. The inter-
probation now placed on the thir-
teenth amendment is, think, entirely
too narrow, and is hostile to the free
dom established by the supreme law
of the land. 1t goes far toward nen-
trallzing many declarations made as
TO the object Of the recent amend
ments Of the Constitution, command
purpose of which, this court has said,
was to secure to people in servitude
the free enjoyment, without discrim-
inatIon merely on account of their
race, of the essential rights that ap-
pertain to american citizenship and
to freedom"
