TROUBLE FOR COAL MINERS.

Philadelphia, March 1.-THE an
thracite coal operators met the COM
mittee of hard coal miners in the
Reading terminal building here today
and fatty refused to grant the men
any Of the demands that were laid be-
fore them and at the same time pro-
posed to the workers that the pres
ent agreement, which expires March

three years. This decision, while not
unexpected by the mine workers, as
they had long learned that the opera
tors were against making any con-
cessions, came as q great disappoint-
ment to the men.
When the afternoon session of the
conference adjourned, Thomas l.
Lewis, national president Of the Uni
ted Mine Workers Of America, and his
colleagues filed out OF President
Baer's office and went straight tc
their hotel with spirit that was no,

LAuRENs YOUTH CONVICTED.
wsdr Pinson Declared Guilty of Man
Slaughter.

Laurens. March 12.--Overruling a
motion for new trial. Judge Prince
this afternoon sentenced young Wade
Cothran Pinson to a term of two
years In the State penitentiary for the
killing Of ThornwelI Boyce. Counsel
for the defense will carry the case to
the supreme court. pending which
Pinson is released on bond of 81, 900

appeal will be based on alleged errors

siding Judge. Young Pinson received

At 1855 this morning the jury. after
remaining out more than 16 houra,
brought In a verdict of guilty Of man

the mercy Of the court.
Mr.. Cannon. for the defense. at
once gave notice of a motion for a
new trial. which was heard later in
the day.
People generally were somewhat
surprised that a verdict had been
agreed upon. since the Jury had stay
ed out all night. thinking that the
outcome would be a mistrial. 1t Is
thought that the verdict rendered
was compromise, some of the Jurors
holding for an acquittal and some
for plain manslaughter. However, the
general opinion was that manslaugh-
ter would be the verdict. Judge
Prince charged the jury very clearly
on the points of law relating to in
voluntary manslaughter. defining the
distinction betweeen accident and
death resulting from an act in itself
wrong. or "malum in se." The point
that the jury had to decide was
whether or not the effort on the part
of young Pinson. who was trying to
adjust his pistc.. when the fatal shot
was fired, constituted an unlawful act
because of gross negligence, or
whether or not II was the result of a
wanton disregard for human life.
"his was the point especially stressed
by Mr.. Cannon for the defense I'm his
argument before the fury. Mr.. Can
non dealt with this phase OF the ques-
ton In a very adroit and forceful
manner. contending that 1t was not
criminal carelessness. even, for the
defendant to act as he did.

Harvesting the Ocean.

Lewiston Journal.
Maine coast towns are watching
with interest the recent development
of the wave motor. One, said to be
in operation near Santa Cruz, Cal,
Is used for pumping, the power be-
ing derived from the lift of the
waves by means of floats. The other
is at Atlantic City. Here the tur-
bine principle Is applied, and suffi-
cient power is obtained to light the
long pier, at the end Of which the
mechanism is located. These two
machines suggest how the motion of
the waves may be utilized as source
Of power where not great deal of it
is needed The waves, however, can
never rival the tides, with the linn
itless power, which is waiting to be
utilized in some practical way. The
great tide power at Winnegance
some day will be harnessed.

TILLMAN A WELL MAN.

was on his way home from the meet.
Ing of the trustees of Clemson Col.
lege. Mrs. Tillman had been on q
visit to relatives at Greenwood.
Senator Tillman looks remarkably
well. He said that he had never felt
better. His face is we'll filled, his com
plexion ruddy and healthy, and alto.
gether he looks we'll. He is devotine
himself to indoor exercise anu says Il
Is fine.
Senator Tillman says that the
Clemson board transacted consider
able business. The board has asked
that Major Marcus B. Stokes, origi-
nally of Hampton County. be detailed
to Clemson College as commandant ia
take the place of Capt. Minus, resign
ed.
Senator Til,man expects to spend q
month in Trenton, as he does not
think the Democrats can do very
much In the tariff situation, and he
Is satisfied that the Republicans will
carry out their policies.
Senator Tillman said he did not
know what President Taft would dc
with DIR. Crum. He had heard moth
Ing whatever about any appointment
for DIR. Crum and would not be sur
prised If he were not appointed to any
place, nor would he be surprised IL he
were given some place in Washing
ton.
Senator Tillman talks with much
interest about the fight against the
confirmation of the appointment OF
DR.. Crum, and said that one of the
remarkable things about his fight was
that for hours he held up sixty SEN
ators while he was relating his re-
miniscences Of reconstruction and his
fight with McLaurin.
The Senator says he feels quite well
enough to go out on another of his
lecture tours. and incidentally he
thinks that the wild talk" in which
he indulged while on his lecturins
tour had done much to clear up the
atmosphere with regard to the race
question.
Mrs. Tillman says that Senator TIL
man Is not to go on any more lecture
tours, but she Is quite willing for him
to go to Europe again.
Senator Tillman continues to be
much interested In the Navy Yard al
Charleston, and says that he had the
work there well cared for in the ap-
preparation bill. and that "as long as
he is alive the Charleston yard has
nothing to fear"
