MINERS WILL HAVE
 BIG CONVENTION

Philadelphia, March 14.-(special.l- The Ss delegates of the United Mine Workers of America whose demands for improved conditions in the anthra- cite mines were turned down at the conference here with the coal opera tors met yesterday and decided to hold aconvention of miners in Scranton on March 23 to decide what course to pur- sue. President Thomas L. Lewis, in a ruffled state of mind, attended and urged upon the delegates the necessity of a convention to sound the sentiment of the miners on the strike proposi- tion. The delegates were all in favor of the convention, but not all of them considered a strike advisable. Lewis made no argument for or against the strike
 That question the convention must decide" he told the delegates. All of our demands have been refused. It is now for the miners, through the dele gates, to say wh ether they shall sug gest a. renewal of the present contract or do something else"
 The call for the convention was sent out this afternoon and the various unions in the anthracite region will hold meetings early next week and select their delegates. The miners three years agreement with the coal operators expires March 19. If the con vention votes to renew the contract 1t will be signed by the coal barons be- fore that day. Should the convention insist upon the demands presented to the coal operators this week. including the one-year contract and general raise of wages there will be no more con ferences with the mine owners. Failure to come to any understanding may then result in a strike.
 Asked today what would be the prob able outcome of the convention, Presi- dent Lewis said:
 T am not the convention. I cannot say what 400 or more men may decide to do."

seems to be unusually zcbscure and the check upon business activity is expected to be correspondingly great. It is an in f1uence on general trade activity that speculative sentiment Is most concerned with the tariff question
 Judicial decrees on several subjects of far-reaching importance to corporations were handed down during the week. That to which greatest public interest attached was the acquittal of the Standard oil company of Indiana in the re-trfal of the case in which they were fined $29,- 100000 on the first trial, but the final dis- position of the case In favor of the cor poration caused scarcely a ripple on the stock market. Of almost as little effect was the injunction issued by the United States district court against the Mis- souri law regulating freight and passen- ger rates of railroads.
 The labor outlook is kept in view bv the cuts in wages in various departments of the steel trade and by the conference between anthracite operators and miners for a new agreement to take the place of the one expiring on April 1. The ex- tension of this movement over a wide field is looked for and mixed conse- quences are looked upon as inevitable It is considered a promising feature of the outlook that immigration statistics show a pronounced shift in the current again, with an increase in arrivals since the first of the year of 77.000 and a de- crease In departures of 92,00O compared with last year, when there was home- ward rush of foreigners.
 The inauguration of gold exports to London was wholly-Aenored as a stock market influence, in view of the abund- ance of loanable funds in the money market.

REVIEW OF THE WEEK
 IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD

New York, March 14.-The stock market last week composed itself into an atti- tude of waiting upon the more definite shaping of future events, and was dis tinguished chiefly by its unimpression- able character. The testing operations of the professional element, which made up nearly the whole of the dealings, proved unavailing to uncover any con- tingent orders either in the way of lIqui- dation or of covering outstanding short accounts. Professional operations dwin- dled under these discouraging cireum- stances and brought the rate of activity in the market down to a level comparable with the dullness of last summer in the period before the national conventions, On July 3, last year, before the demo- cratic convention met in Denver the de- creasing dealings in stocks ran down to a days total of only 73,O00 shares dealt dullness not equalled in the annals of the stock exchange in modern times. Thurs days dealings last week barely turned the SoO0OO share figure, thus recording a smaller days business than for any day since before the national election. The period of the inauguration of the new President having passed without the hoped for revival in interest, stock mar ket interests apparently resigned them the tariff revision now in progress at Washington.

FORECAST OF THE NEWS
 FOR THE COMING WEEK

The opening of the special session of Congress, which will undertake the re- vision of the tariff; conferences among the anthracite miners determining the at titude of their dispute with the operators; the progress of the Central American quarres, and the renewal in the larger cities of an active campaign against the Black Hand are foremost in point of gen. eral interest of the known events of the week.
 Congress will assemble on Monday, and if a fight over the rules can be deferred until the following session, early action by the House on the tariff bill presented by the ways and means committee will be expected It is also possible that through the introduction of a resolution permitting tariff speeches the Senate may get under way in it's discussion before the House measure proper is received. President Taft, when he has seen the special ses- sion under way will slip away to the meeting of the Yale corporation at New Haven on Friday.
 Formal negotiations between the anthra- cite miners and the operators have been

New Orleans, March 14.-The ques- ton of supplying natural gas to cities in Louisiana and neighboring states has now become one of general com ment and disensison in this section.
 Following the development of the gas and oil fields in Caddo parish. Louisiana, it Is proposed to pipe the gas product thence to New Orleans. distance of 300 miles. with this main line tapped for supply to many other places.
 This possibility has assumed con- crete form in an application for fran chise submitted to the city council of New Orleans. Shreveport and Texar- kama, Ark, both within a radius of 40 miles of the fields, have been deriving their gas supply from that source for the past two years. A number of other places in Louisiana, Arkansas, Missis- sippi and Texas are included in tenta- tive plans that would bring many large pipe lines from the Caddo territory.
 The Caddo field was discovered about four years ago. and while the oil de- yelopment there has progressed with constant extension, it was only in re-

The proved territory extends over a section about 20 miles long and half as wide. In this field what are declared by a United States govern ment expert to be the most remarkable example of wasted fuel in the world exist. These are two wild" wells. one consuming 60000 900 cubic feet of gas daily and the other 50,000,000 cubic feet. The glare from the flaming wells is seen at night for a distance of 30 piles.
 In connection with the proposed in- creased utilization of the extensive fuel supply the nearby location of the sulphur mines of Calcasieu parish and salt mines of Iberia parish will, it is declared, probably mean the establish ment of practically a new industry in this section. that of the manufacture of certain chemical products.

PLAN RACES IN
 NEW YORK STATE
Followers of "Sport of Kings" Await Action of Jockey Club Plans
 With Keen Interest.

New York, March 14-Followers of the Sport of Kings and horsemen through out the United States are awaiting with keen attention the development of the Jockey Clubs plans for horse racing on the Metropolitan tracks this season. A continuance of racing in New York, in view of the hard blow given the game last year by the Hart-Agnew law pro- hibiting bookmaking would exert a pow erful influence toward the rehabilitation of horse racing in other sections of the country where public betting is forbid den. While the members of the Jockey club are maintaining strict silence con- corning their plans it can be stated with authority that there will be racing on several of the courses in New York this summer. Announcement of racing dates is expected shortly. Members of the Jockey club and track owners, it is un- derstood, have decided that the sport may be successfully continued if conducted along the lines that will not infringe upon the present statutes but that it will take some time to educate turf followers up to the conditions which forbid book making. The spring season probably will commence about the middle of April and with the exception of Brighton Beach

 Betting on races. perforce, will be great ly restricted at the tracks until the courts have given final determination to the scope and application of the present an- ti-race track gambling laws. Individual betting without records or wagers being made, which has been held legal by the lower courts, will provide speculation for those in position to make such wagers. The Jockey club, however, will do every thing in it's power to prevent the open betting and 1t will. it is understood, take summary action against any persons who seek to break the law.
 Racing officials say that race track plunging. which did so much to hurt the sport, will not be possible under the new r,11ae

MIME. STEINHEIL'S
 CASE IS GLOOMY

Paris, March 14.--The preliminary in vestigation into the charges against Mime. Steinheil, accused of having mur- dered her husband, Adolph Steinh ell, q painter, and her stepmother. Mime. Papy was concluded. The examining magistrate, M Andre, informed the woman that the evidence against her was, sufficient to warrant the formal accusation of premeditated murder. She will probably be tried for her life in the assize court, not as an accomplice, but as the principal.
 The investigation, says the magis- trate, led logically to the deduction that Mime. Steinheil herself, in seeking to get rid of her husband to whom she objected and her stepmother, whose fortune she would inherit, deliberately planned and carried out the double crime.
