Anthracite Operators Reject Final De.

Are Declared off-Miners Meet to
Decide on Next Move.

Philadelphia, April 9.-The anth.a-
cite operators and miners, who have
been holding conferences and considec-
ing wage conditions in the hard coal
fields Of Pennsylvania, failed to reach
an agreement today, and have ad-
journed finally. The operators rejected
the modified demands presented yes
terday by the miners. The officials Of
the United Mine Workers of the three
anthracite districts will hold meeting
this afternoon and decide uponsa a course
Of action.
There will be- no strike. The only
danger Of suspension of miping, ac-
cording to the mine workers officials,
arises from the, possibility of the re-
fusal Of the operators to permit the
miners to work without an agree
ment.

PATTEN's WHEAT CORNER.
Sees Prediction of SIPS Per Bushei
Verified and is Happy.

Chicago April 9.-Altllo Mr.. Patten
is openly satisfied with having put
May wheat above s1.25, {. price which
he predicted many months ago, there
is no certainty that i: will not go high
er, because, from the character of the
trading and the way commission
houses are executing buying orders, 1t
is evident that the public has finally
decided to get in. after a long period
of apathy.
Buying by the public put the price
up. and Patten fed them the wheat"
is a colloquial symposium Of the opin-
ion expressed by most Of the brokers
after they had a chance to recover from
the furry and Size up the situation,
Comparatively little of Patterns
wheat was sold by his own brokers.
There was, however, a constant stream
OF wheat for sale, particularly above
S1.25 for May and Slip for July, and
there Is little question In the minds of
the best informed members about where
that wheat came from. 1t is estimated
that Patten sold nearly 5000, 900 BUSH
els of July wheat and possibly 5G0,101100 5d 01 9
bushels of May, and that in the last
three days he has sold altogether about
100000 bushels.
The wheat he has sold. however.
does not represent his entire holdings
by any means, for he Is said still to
hold contracts for 10,O00.000 bushels
Of May wheat and a like amount Of
July. But what he has let go Of has
been sold at enormous profits, and
there was good reason for his smile
as he thought Of the 30 to 25 cents
bushel pkoit he was making. A con-
servative estimate Of his winnings
during the last three or four days is
said to be $1,500,000.

turned the bill down.
The house defeated the bin to create

The house passed the bill to forbid

tentiaries and pardons.
Woodward was tried and convicted
on the charge OF poisoning his wife
with arsenic. He claimed that she had
committed suicide In n tit of despond-
ency. The prosecution was based on
the claim that the murder had been
for the purpose of securing life in
surance The defendant claimed at the
trial that the insurance policies were
invalid and that he knew they were
valpeless when his wife died.
After Tho trial . !e.te- was found
which the attorneys for Woodward
considered as evidence to prove that
Woodward's claim was correct and
that he knew the insurance policies
were void. The letter was from the To-
cal agent at Decatur. where Woodward
lived, to the president of the life in
surance company. 1t stated that Wood
ward would not accept the policy upon
his wife's life unless another policy
for which he had applied, and which
the company had refused to Issue,
should be sent him.
