There Is impending a crisis among
the singers and America is held
guilty of precipitating it through
Conried and Hammerstein.
The competition turns mems voices

chestra leaders have but one idea.
and as a result they quit Europe and
hustle TO America. Rome must con-
sent herself presently to hear her

Messenger says they are fooling them

that 1t is their great voices which
cause the enormous figures
whereas I'm realiyt 1t is no such thing.
1t is merely a vulgar commercial war
which Is bound 10 stop soon, since
even I'm New York expenses must

Appeal to Supreme

Year In Con-
finement.

Columbus Ohio, Jan. 21.-Three
Ice dealers of Toledo, r. G. Lemon,
X. O. Beard and j. A. Miller, who
We're sent to the workhouse as pun
ishment for their part in the forma-
ton of an ice trust, and who appeal
ed to the supreme court, were given
little consolation in the supreme
courts decision, which was given out
today.
The three men we're convicted of
forming a trust and were sentenced
by Judge Kincaid to serve a term in
the workhouse. The case has been
fought without cessation, but the su-
preme court only interferes with the
decision of Judge Kincaid by holding
that the ice kings should have been
sent to jail instead OF the workhouse.
Each of the three was fined $5,-
900. and sentenced to serve a year
In the workhouse. As a result of the
supreme court decision they will be
sentenced to jail and will serve out
the year there instead of in the
workhouse.

NIGHT RIDERS MAY

Western District Where No Dis
order Has Yet Occurred.

Paducah, Ky, Jan. 21.-More
significant than any previous notice
was the night-rider warning received
by Rowland Noteworthy. an inde-
pendent tobacco planter of Wades-
boro. Galloway county. which said
they were nearly through on the east
side of the Tennessee river and were
ready for the invasion of the western
district, the only section so far in
which no disorder has occurred.
Mr.. Noteworthy received two no.
tices, both of which We're written in
hand identical to that in which the
warning received by II. II. Pace OF
tho same county was written. The
notes, like those found by Mr.. Pace,
were fastened TO Norsworthy's gate
wrapped around cartridge and a
bundle of matches.
Mr.. Noteworthy turned the notes
over to the county judge when sub
poenaed by the sheriff, but declined
to say anything about them The first
note said:
I'VE understand that you have
sold your tobacco We want all the
crops that are left out OF the asso-
citation, and where tobacco leaves be-
fore we arrive we take houses and
barns. Coming your way soon, as we
are about through on the east side

Capt. Williamson and Steward Sui

less had given a brief description OF
Alden. He was quickly found in one
of the staterooms, where he was
seated before a washstand on which
was a sealed bottle OF muriatic acid.
"A few minutes longer and 1t would
probably have been too late.

STUDENTS CAN COME
TO UNITED STATES
Action OF LdborerS In Leaving
Japan as Students Must Not En-
bdrraSS United States --Emigrd-
alton to Hawaii and Mexico
Will be Prevented.

Toxic, Jan. 21.---The emigration of
apanese laborers to merica will be
stopped hereafter by the Japanese
government according to the state
ment Of Vicount Hayashi. minister
of foreign affairs who today gave
out an interview which may be re-
garded as an official declaration Of
the attitude of the Japanese govern
ment. He said.
THE Japanese government Is de-
termined to investigate the personal
standing of those who go to America
as students and hereafter anyone
leaving Japan for America with the
intention OF residing in that country
any length of time Will be required
to have two sureties who will be re-
sponsible should the ultimate inten
tons of the emigrant be other than
represented.
THE government realizes that the
immigration OF laborers who pretend
to be students Is liable to be embar-
RAISING to the government of the
United States and for this reason is
W pItNtlll II the lu-
ture.
while the proposed restrictions
may embarrass the real students to
| some extent, all legal restrictions will
be made alike because one dishones,
person may embarrass many honest
| ones In all are not restricted by one
general law.
while negotiation, concerning the
immigration OF japanese laborers TO
| the United States have not been con-
cluded may, as minister of foreign
| affairs, make the definite statement
that the rumors which have been cir.
culated to the effect that an import
ant agreement is impending, is with
out foundation and originated in GER
| tain sections of the United States
| where such immigration has an inn
| portant bearing.
should the emigration to Hawaii
not be prevented entirely, the foreign
| office will not hesitate to entirely
prohibit such emigration. The send
ing of japanese laborers to Mexico
must also stop, and those who per-
sist In sending laborers there will be
regarded as assisting emigration to
the United States through the frontier
and will therefore be treated as
| lawbreakers.

PROSECUTOR ENGAGES
IN LIVELY ARGUMENTS
Questions We're Confined to Testi-
mOnyIntroduCedd at Former Trial
and No Detail Was Over
lOOked---ThdW Showed
But Little Emotion.

New York, Jan. 21.--Under the
lash of Jerome's cross questioning
Evelyn Nesblt Thaw today contin-
ued the story of her life to save her
husband from conviction for the
murder of Stanford White. with the
merciless questions of the prosecutor
coming without pause she repeated
her story in detail and her answers
were given without a moments hesi-
tation.
Jerome spent much time in review
ing the testimony at the former trial
and confronting the witness with
her evidence at that time. No do
tall, however. small, was overlooked
and the witness was forced again to
repeat the story of her life. She ad-
hered to her former story, declaring
1t all true and the prosecutor was
unable to tangle her even in the
smallest detail.
While Jerome was aggressive in his
attitude today his manner unques-
tionably lacked the fire which he dis
played yesterday. He and the wit
ness were constantly engaged In Tits
In which honors were about evenly
divided and after a repulse the pros
ecutor did not return to the attack
with the vehemence he has displayed
both at the former trial and during
the examination OF witnesses during
the present. one. He seemed. less
alert and more inclined to accept the
story as the witness told 1t, without
making the effort to catch her In a
denial OF former statements.
There was an inclination on the
part of both the witness and the
prosecutor to argue with each other,
but Justice Bowling cut the debates
short whenever he could. and insist
ed on both witness and prosecutor
proceeding with the case as direct as
| possible
Thaw listened intently to the testi-
| mony of his wife, his head supported
on hand most of the time, while he
held the other to his ear to catch the
low tones of his wife's voice. He
| seemed unaffected by her recital of
the story but at times his face flush
ed at the cutting questions of the
prosecutor.
AT 2:45 o'clock Jerome finished
| HIS cross examination of Mrs. Thaw
and Attorney Littleton then asked
some redirect questions. Mrs Thaw
| was finally excused but may be re-
called again further in the trial

MEET Mine OWNERS
FOR WAGE CONFERENCE
III Health Causes Retirement of
Miners ChdmpiOn-lnterstate
Wage Agreement to
be Discussed
Again.

indianapolis Jan. 21.--The nine
teenth annual convention of the Unit
ed Mine Workers opened here today
with 1000 delegates present, repre-
senting all the bituminous and an
thracite coal mining districts. The
convention promises to be one of the
most important yet held on account
of several important matters to be
discussed.
As it marks the official retirement
of President Mitchell the convention
has an added importance. For nine
years he has been at the head of the
organization and has directed its af-
fairs through some or the most cru
cial situations with which labor has
ever been confronted. Through his
ability as an organizer he has
strengthened the union and has Sc
cured for its members vastly improv-
ed conditions in work and wages.
When Mr. Mitchell entered the
hall where the convention is in meet
ing today he was enthusiastically
cheere1 by the delegates and ap-
peared much affected at the recep-
ton. III health is the cause of his
retirement. and although urged to
again take charge of the affairs OF
the union Mr.. Mitchelrs recent ILL
ness has broken down his health to
such an extent that he has given
definite reply to his supporters that
he Will not again be candidate.
Who his successor will be Is uncer-
tain and while there will be number
of candidates the final selection will
probably be hotly contested.
The miners have invited mine
owners to meet in a conference jan
uary 30 TO discuss revival of the in
terstate Mape AGREEMENT
