OPERATORS REFUSE
TO GRANT DEMANDS
MADE by MINERS

Philadelphia, Pa, March 11.-The
anthracite coal operators met the
committee OF hard coal miners in the
Reading terminal building here today
and fatty refused to grant any OF
the demands they laid before then,
and at the same time proposed to
the mine workers that the present
agreement, which will expire March
81, be renewed for another term of
three years. This decision was not
unexpected by the Mine Workers, as
they had long ago learned that the
operators were against making any
concessions. Thomas Lewis, national
president of the United Mine Work
ers of America, declined to comment
on the developments of the day be
yond stating that he and his COM
mftteemen will meet to discuss the
situation. The miners will meet the
operators again tomorrow afternoon.

STEAMER IN DISTRESS
Wireless Stations at Charleston
Mass, and Newport, Receive
Message

+ Boston, Mass, March 11.-Inde-
finite signals, apparently from some
steamer in distress, were picked UP
In fragmentary form by naval wire
less stations at Charlestown and
Newport tonight, but on account OF
the many Interruptions, not enough
of the message could be distinguish
ed to indicate either the name of the
vessel or her whereabouts.
I'm distress, notify life saving
stations west south, east" is the
way the message was read at New
port.
At CharlestoWn it was thought
possible that the message came from
the stranded steamer. Massachusetts
lin Vineyard Sound.
The operators who heard the mes
|sages agreed that the flashes from
the receiver were medium to heavy
and seemed to be from stronger
sending machine than an amateur
would be likely to possess, SO they
felt quite certain that the message
was not an aerial hoax.
Another wirelss station picked ur
fragments of a message about the
same time which were in effect that
a vessel was drifting in distress of
the New Jersey coast. The single
word trainer" was among other un.
connected words received and this
led to the supposition that the mes.
sage might have referred to the Ann
J. Trainor. which was reported early
in the week as drifting without
masts off the Virginia coast.

Towson, Md, March 11.-Joseph
M. Janer of Brooklyn, N. Y, was to-
day convicted of felonious assault
upon Catherine Loerch, twelve years
old, also of Brooklyn, and sentenced
to twenty-one years in the Maryland
penitentiary, this being the maxi
mum possible under the particular
count of the indictment on which
conviction was had. The case began
yesterday before Judges Burke and
Duncan and was tried without jury.
It was in evidence that Janer, early
in February, brought the child to
Baltimore, represented her to be his
daughter and during two nights, one
spent in a disreputab1e house and the
other in boarding house, repeatedly
subjected her to most brutal ill-treat-
ment. The prosecution put witnesses
on the stand to show practically ev-
cry move made by Janer and tbe
child after their arrival in Balti-
more and physicians gave evidence
confirmatory of the contention OF the
state. Janer today went on the
stand in his own defense and denied
his guilt The judges announced
their findings after about ten min
utes deliIberation. Janer's !, mnsel
made a motion for a new trial, but
this was subsequently withdrawn.
When sentence was pronounced jan
er showed not the slightest emotion.
He was taken Immediately to the
penitentiary in Baltimore. Janer's
wife was in court throughout the
trial.

of which is to induce Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson to modify or re-

he held that flour bleached by nitro

is on foot Hundreds of letters from
millers of bleached flour in all parts

refer his ruling to the referee board

numerous instances the communica-

and by them referred to the secre-

That Secretary Wilson resolutely
will stand by his decision is indicat-
ed by the fact that in his replies to
the various communications he de-
clares that he can see no useful pur-
pose in referring the question of
bleached flour to the referee board.

After Talking Nine Hours He Paused
Last Night in the Middle Of His
Argument Roasted Attorney Gen

Of the Latter Hurried Him From
Room in Order to Avoid Gun Play.

Nashville, Tenn, March 1.-THE
fourth day Of the arguments in the
Cooper-sharp trial for the murder OF
Former United States Senator Car
mack closed tonight with General
Washington of the defense in the
middle of his argument and two more
attorneys to follow him. At this rate
1t Is doubtful II the case will go to
the jury before Saturday. General
Washington finished his ninth hour
OF argument when the court adjour-
ned at 5 p. m. and he announced
that he would conclude some time
tomorrow. He will he followed by
Judge Anderson who is expected to
make the main argument for the de-
fense. Then Attorney General Nc
earn will close for the state. Judge
Anderson says that he will require
about six or eight hours for his
speech while McCarn declares that
four hours will do him.
Judge Hart today again requested
the attorneys to submit instructions
for the charge and complained that
they were slow about complying.
General Washing gton's argument to
day was brilliant in word painting,
appeal and invectiye. He attacked
the states counsel and singled out
Attorney General ]. B. Garner as his
special victim. Garner is reputed to
have nearly asi fiery q temper as has
Washington, SO counsel for the state
insisted upon Garner's Withdrawing
from the room during Washington'a

DRUGGISTS TO
MEET.AT LEAD

Lead, March 1.-THE local drug
gists of this city will soon begin
work to prepare for the entertain
ment of the State association OF
druggists, which is to hold its an
nual meeting in this city next Aug
ust. This is one of the well-attend-
ed associations of the state, and the
indications are that it will bring to
Lead between three and four hun
dred guests. 1t is the intention OF
the local druggists to get out some
good advertising material which will
be thoroughly scattered throughout
the state so that people other than
the pharmacists will take advantage
of the rates offered them and come
to spend their summer outing in the
northern hills. It will also be neces-
sary to arrange for the entertain
|ment of these visitors.
Lead Is by way OF having the larg-
est summer tourist trade this year
that she has ever known. The rail-
roads across the state, the special
rates which will be made for the
various association and conventions
that will meet here will all tend tc
bring traffic, and il the country is
well advertised, so that our friends
In the eastern part of the state are
familiar with the verious attractions
which the hills has to offer in the
summer season, there is every rea.
son to believe that the tourist traffic
this summer will be much greater
than even the most sanguine has 81
far expected.
With the druggists, or rather fol
lowing in their wake, at the time ol
their association will come large
delegation OF travelling men who
embrace this opportunity Of meeting
with 2 large number OF druggists
at one time. One Of the travelling
men who Will be here then, and who
is one Of the well-known Lead boys
is Walter ottmann. who is now or
the road for the Capitol Drug com.
pany Of Lincoln. Drug men, candy
men; and those dealing with notions
stationary etc, will all be here In
large numbers. and It Is safe to pre-.
dict that Lead will entertain them
all "a manner which they will long
remember with much pleasure.

Woman's Body Found Lying on Bank
Of Canal in Solitary Place Mur-
der Must Have Taken Place Month
Ago Police Have Slender Clue
Upon Which to Work Woman
Well Dressed, About 80 Years Old.

Dayton, Ohio, March II. Another
baffling mystery confronts the police
in the discovery today OF the decom-
posed body OF .an unknown white
woman in the canal below the Apple
street bridge. In the opinion OF the
officers. it must have been in the
water about month.
Harry B. Kieth, colored boy, was
rowing boat on the canal when he
noticed the body. Police headquart-
ers was notified and the body re-
moved to an undertaking establish
ment.
The woman apparently was thirty
years Of age, and well dressed. She
was attired in black. She wore Ro-
meo slippers, but over these she had
a pair Of new rubber shoes. The
woman's undergarments were in good
condition. The decomposition will
1t is feared. prevent the identification
of the woman. i.3
The place where the body was
found supplies an ideal spot for 8
murder with mystery attached. The
distance to the nearest house prob
ably is more than q thousand feet.
The spot is approximately 500 feet
south Of the Apple street bridge.
A theory has been advanced, that,
providing 1t was case OF murder
the woman might have been rolled
down a very steep hill skirting the
fair grounds on the east. The fail
grounds have the reputation Of being
a trysting place.
A month ago Charles Siefert stat
ed to Coroner Swisher that he had
seen well dressed white woman
standing at the end of the Apple
street bridge apparently waiting fol
some one. He said that she seemed
very nervous. Finding that she was
being watched, the woman walked
toward the fair grounds, which end
at Apple street. and was not seen
again. This was in the evening
siefert further states that the WON
an was dressed entirely in black.
The body was found lying hall
out on the bank. face down, while
both hands were clenched and were
near her throat. as If she had tried
to protect herself The police are
yet unable to express an opinion as
to the probity of either murder 81
suicide.
Six girls have been found slain in
Dayton recently. -Four OF the mur.
ders have never been solved.

1t made me turn sick to hear them
speak so lightly of killing three of
their fellow men. We ran alongside
and one of the river-men jumped out
and made fast to the steamer Par
low looked apprehensively about the
boat, and l followed his gaze, which
finally settled on the brick foundation
for the boilers. 1 saw a glad light
come into his eyes, and somehow /
jumped to the conclusion that his
treasure, whatever it might be, was
concealed in that brickwork
WaStrow had not noticed this
The boat was in the widest confu-
sion. 1t was evident that the thieves
were literally following Parlow's sug-
gestion and picking it to pieces. The
stuffy cabin and squalid staterooms
had been absolutely wrecked. The
mattresses were slit open, planking
torn away, and every place of conceal
ment laid bare. Parlow grinned mali
ciously at the wreck of his boat, and
l saw that he felt the keenest salts
faction at the knowledge of the three
inert things that lay out upon the
forward deck, stiffening in the drizzle
which had now turned to sleet.
Parlow examined the corpses and
said that he knew all three of them;
they were members of a gang of
toughs that infested the river and he
began to display symptoms of alarm
as soon as he had looked them over
This amt all of en- he said
There's more'n this, and they will be
coming back here and takin' a pot
shot at US if we don't hurry up and
get away" Wastrow seemed to share
this apprehension, and suggested that
we had best leave as soon as possible,
for the pirates would have every ad-
vantage of us if they should come
back, the timber about the boat af-
fording excellent places of conceal
ment from which they could fire upon
us with safety.
Acting upon this advice, Parlow Sc
cured a crowbar and attacked the
brick foundation under the boiler at
point near the farther end from the
fire-box, while Wastrow stood by and
watched him with greedy eyes. With
few lusty strokes Parlow pried out
some of the bricks, and l saw a small
iron-bound box within the opening
Parlow dragged it out with some diff
Guilty. 1t was heavy, and something
within it clinked like metal when it
was moved. With Wastrow's assist
ance he carried it to the gasoline
launch and placed it inside. Then he
FASTENED up the companionway into
the stuffy Office and dived into the
rickety stove that stood in one corner.
He scooped the ashes from the waste
box at its bottom. and disclosed a
small ring. Pulling on this. he raised
an ingeniously contrived door which
had been quite concealed by the ashes.
