MINERS REST
 FOR AWHILE PittsburgC Convention Ad- journs Till Wednesday DIsPLEASED WITH DoLAN Delegates Seek Injunction Against
 Arbitary President. Great Coonfusion Reigned Throughout the Meeting and vice-President
 Lewis Threatened to Leave
 the City.

Plttsburg, Feb 1o.--After six days of turmoil and strife. the delegates to the miners convention of Pittsburg district secured g. breathing spell this afteernoon by adJourning until We'd nesday. Before tho close, however, President Dolan was successful In hav- ing the election teilers' report read. and despite appeals from his decision declared himself, Uriah Bellingham and William Dodds elected respectively President. Vice-President and Secre- tary-Treasurer for the coming year i.
 Confusion prevailed during almost the entire session today and order was only restored when Vice-President Lewis in a speech to the delegates threatened to leave the city and not return.
 President Dolan announced that within twenty-four hours he would make public statement of his position with the reeasons for voting as he did at the Indianapolis convention.
 Following the adjournment of the convention 102 delegates held a caucus and determined upon a legal light to uuseat Dolan and Bellingham. The caucus decided to employ attorneys to secure ar injunction against the dis trict officers. forbidding them to with draw money from the treasury of the organization and to enjoin Patrick De- Ian. Urfah Bellingham and all members elect to the district officers from serv- ing until a new election is held.

ROOT MAY EXPLAIN
SECRETARY PROBABLY WILL BE
 OFFERED OPPORTUNITY.
state Department Was Behind Taft in the Request that More Troops Be Sent to the Philip
 pines.

Washington, Feb. 1O.-It is probable that Secretary Root will have an op- portunitv to explain to Congress through one of the House committees the actual need of the proposed increase of the number of the American troops In the Philippines which led to the passage between Secretary Taft and the Senate Committee on Appropriations recently.
 For it is stated to be the case that the War Department in moving in this direction Is simply following the sug- gestion of the State Department and 1t is probable that the Secretary will find 1t necessary under the plan of holding a force ready for China, If 1t is to be abandoned, to explain to Congress the facts which have Impelled him to make the suggestion to Secretary Taft.
 This explanation will doubtless be made in confidence, for although 1t Is known in a general way that the State Department has had many disquieting reports from it's agents in China. it would scarcely be diplomatic to publish them.
 It can be stated. however. that the conditions in China at present bear a striking resemblance to those that pre- ceded the Boxer uprising of 1900, and the position of the State Department is that as only the presence of Ameri- can troops made the Pekin relief expe- dition possible and saved the lives of the legationers, 1t would not be justified in refraining from taking the precau- tion necessary to avert a possible loss of American lives and property. not only at the legation in Pekin, but among the missionaries and American business men in the Chinese trade centers

 To Go to the Funeral.
 Yesterday so many of the friends of the dead Chief Justice expressed their intention to attend the funeral In Athens that there was talk of special train to that point. Conferences were held last night between certain officials of the Luisviile and Nashville railroad and Capitol officials with view to arranging for the train. It was not definitely settled. however, whether the venture will be made. In any event scores of Montgomerians are expected to go to Athens to attend the core monies.
 Very soon after the Associate Jus. tices of the Supreme Court return from the funeral ceremonies, a meeting of the court will be held and appropriate resolutions drawn iii memory of the deceased 1urist.
 The vacancy on tho supreme Court bench caused by the death of Chief Justice Mcclellan will be filled by the Governors appointment. Under tho n4w Constitution the Governor may ap- point a Justice of the supreme Court in case of death to serve only until subsequent election The appotntee of the Governor will therefore serve or Iy until his successor IS chosen at the polls next November.

NO ARREST FOR MURDER Search Continued For Christmas Slayers. SUSPICION NOW RUNS RIFE Developments of Startling Char, acter Are Looked For. It is Known That the Criminals Rode to the Scene from cambpcn-

 Buggy.
SUSPICION NOW RUNS RIFE

Dothan, Feb. l0.--(speclal. )--Ths terrible murder of the Christmas fam fly near Cottonwood, Ala, just across the Florida line, which occurred Tues day night. has lost nothing of the air of mystery which has surrounded it from the first.
 Each of the several persons thus far arrested have found no difficulty in proving an aiibi. and the authorities. 1t is believed are no nearer a solution of the problem than they were We'd nesday morning when the crime was discovered.
 Sheriff Crawford Of Houston County. who went to the scene of the tragedy yesterday morning and offered any as- sistance in his power to the Florida Sheriff, returned today. He says that the hue and cry has subsided to a great extent, but in outward nantfes- tat on only.
 The determination to find the rnur- derers and the vigilance with which the search is being prosecuted are as great as ever, but the first hubbub of excitement has died out
 It seems that about the only tangls ble piece Of evidence which has vet come to the knowledge of the authori. ties is that the slayers of the Christmas family, or at least part of them, rode to the scene in a buggy from Camp be1ton. Fla Beyond this fact little or nothing definite is known.
 There are many dark suspicious lying dormant in the mind of Cottonwood cit- izens, but none has dared to point an accusing finger. It Is believed that the next forty-elght hours will witness de- velopments and 1t will not be in the least surprising if they are startling in character.
