cooPERs ARE FOUND GUILTY
Each Is Given 20 Years by the Car
mack Murder Jury.

Nashville, Tenn, Mar. 22.-Guilty of
murder in the second degree, with 20
years Imprisonment as the penalty,
was the verdict of the jury Saturday in
the case against Col. Duncan B. Coop
er and his son, Robin Cooper, charged
with the murder of former United
States Senator E. w. Carmack. The
jury Friday acquitted John B.
Sharp, co-defendant. Immediately
the defense moved to set aside the
verdict because of the verdict of disa-
greement and asked the court to de-
clare it a mistrial.
Judge Hart said he would listen to
arguments on this motion later.
He then fixed the defendants bonds
at $25, 900 each, which amount was &C.
ceptable to both sides and both
were released. The verdict, cming as
were released. The verdict, coming as
it did upon the heels of Foreman Burk' 8
declaration "that we are hopelessly
tied up as to the Coopers," was de-
cided surprise.

MINERS TO DISCUSS ACTION
MEETING TOMORROW WILL SET
TIE QUESTION OF STRIKE.
Some Delegates Instructed to Vote for
Quitting, Others Will Follow
Leaders.

Philadelphia, Mar. 22-The conven.
tion of anthracite mine workers, which
meets at Scranton tomorrow, is ex.
pected to make a final decision so far
as the men are concerned in the mat
ter of a new agreement with the coal
mine operators to take the place of the
present working arrangement, which
expires March 81.
All sorts of stories of the final out
come of the negotiations between the
men and their employers have been
circulated, but it is safe to say that no
one can do more than speculate as to
the result of the convention and of the
conference with the operators which
will be held after the Scranton meet
ing.
The mine workers are not unani
nous with regard to what should be
done, and therefore the operators are
more or less in the dark as to the con
ditions that will prevail on April L
The operators, it is known, have a
fixed plan so far as meeting the de
mands already made by the mine work
ers are concerned, but it is not known
to what length they will go in changing
these plans if the workers conclude tc
recede from some of their PROPOSE
tons.
As it now stands the situation is
this:
The miners have made certain de,
mands, the principal one being recog
milton of the union. The operators
have fatty refused al the demand
and in turn have offered to renew for
another term of three years the pres
ent agreement, which is the same as
that made by the anthracite coal com
mission. The miners representatives,
who are all officers in the United Mine
Workers of America, have declined to
continue the agreement without recog
milton OF the union, and have called
the Scranton convention for the pur-
pose of making a report of their ac-
ton and to let the mine workers them
selves decide what further action shall
be taken
Six hundred delegates, representing
all the local unions in the three an
thracite districts, will sit in the con-
VenClon. Some or these are instructed
to favor a strike if concessions are not
made; some are pledged against such
action, and others will vote according
to the advice given by the leaders; and
the leaders, it is said, are not unani-
nous on any proposition so far dis
cussed among the men.
The rank and file of the mine work
ers believe that the coal road presi-
dents will close the mines April 1 for
an indefinite period.
In many of the churches through
out the Mahanoy and Shenandoah
valleys yesterday pastors referred to
the impending trouble in the anthra-
cite field and advised the men to pro-
coed with caution and to avoid if pos
sible a repetition Of the industrial
conflict of seven years ago.

FIVE KILLED BY "wINDY SHOT,"
All the Victims of Accident at Evans
vile Are Recovered.

Evansville, Ind, Mar. 22.-What is
known as a windy shot" caused an
explosion in the Sunnyside mine Sat
urday afternoon, and caused the death
of five men. The dead are Joseph
Schenk, William Schnute, Samuel
Coomes, Nelson Willirgham, Sr., and
Nelson Willingham, Jr.
The injured are Fred Clark, David
Brink, Jesse Craig, George Clausheidt,
Charles Parrish, Joe Lyons, Alex. Jar
Wis and John Petit.
1t is believed the explosion resulted
from an extra large shot fred by Petit.
He was the only man burned. The
others were killed or injured by the
force of the explosion and the gases.
All the bodies have been recovered.
Twenty-Five men were in the mine at
the time and the work of rescue was
accompanied by extreme danger to the
rescuing party.

WHITE PLAGUE KILLS RED men
INDIANS ARE VANISHING AS DID
THE BUFFALO.
Government Officers Prepare to Teach
"Lo" Value Of Sanitation and
Cleanliness.

Washington, Mar 22.-As the buff
falo vanished from the great western
plains, so is the red man gradually
disappearing through the ravages of
that slow but insidious disease OS
tuberculosis.
To save the Indian race from ex-
tinction by this disease and yet lead
it into the ways of the white man, is
the task which officials of the bureau
of Indian affairs have undertaken.
Alarmed at the excessive mortality
among the Indians from tuberculosis,
ways and means of effectually COM
batting the disease among them have
been devised. There will be a con-
certed effort on the part of all con-
nected with the Indian service for the
removal of the causes of the disease,
for education in the measures of pre-
vention and for systematizing the
care and segregation of patients af-
flicted with the disease.
Backed with adequate funds and
with a corps of fighting medical ex-
perts, officials of the bureau of In
dian affairs are confident that the In
dian race can be saved. The Indian
becomes FESTIVE at the slow progress
of medical science in eradicating dis
ease, but if convinced of ultimately
being cured, he usually yields to
treatment.
To a change from primeval sur
roundings when the Indian roamed at
will through the wilds of the forests
to his present mode of living more
than to any other cause, may be
ascribed the reason why he so easily
is a victim. They live in unsanitary
surroundings and huddle themselves
together in one room and without
ventilation. The Indian taboos the
cuspidor and rather prefers to ex-
pectorate on the floor.
Officials are determined to teach
the Indian the value of sanitation,
personal cleanliness and other pre-
ventive measures with the view OF
gradually cutting down the yearly
enormous death roll.

RUTGERS FRESHMEN
WIN AT BASKETBALL [

New Brunswick, March 24:-The final
game of the Rutgers interelass basket
ball series yas played Monday after
noon in Ballantine Gymnasium and the
Freshmen won from the Seniors by the
score of 2S to IS, thereby winning first
place in the series. The game was
probably the best played this year and
in the first half it was impossible to
tell which class would win. The score
at the end of the first half stood to
in favor Of the Freshmen. In the second
half the Seniors seemed to tire and the
Freshmen steadily increased their lead
until the final score was reached.
Rutgers decided not to continue bas-
ketball this year as regular inter
college sport, but the class games were
to be continued and if enough interesI
was materialized there was to be ser
ious consideration for resuming the In
ter-collegiate sport next year.
AS it now stands it is hard to say
how the general college feeling is In
regard to basketball. There were plen.
ty Of candidates for the teams, but the
games were poorly attended. The
Freshman class brings new life along
this line for in their ranks are number
ed FIVE Prep school captains. 1t is like
ly that the college body will be can
vassed before any action for next year
will be taken.
